"The security system’s level will be customized based on the permit level you approve for Miss Yun’s private manor."
The implication was clear: if they only granted Yun Zijin usage rights to the private manor, the security system she provided would only be a basic model.
Of course, even Mei Lin’s "basic" model was far more advanced than their current security system.
"Are you so certain we have to use your security system?"
The cybersecurity department had just upgraded their system not long ago,
so Yan Shutang felt Mei Lin was just bluffing.
"You’ll know whether you want to use it after tomorrow’s test. Give me the testing location. We’re done talking for today."
Mei Lin seemed completely oblivious to the concept of courtesy, her face remaining expressionless from start to finish.
Yan Shutang gave Mei Lin a long, hard look. "It’s at the Cybersecurity Center. Tomorrow... I hope Miss Yun will be there as well."
By sending only an assistant to negotiate, Yan Shutang felt that Yun Zijin was looking down on them.
"Miss Yun has classes. I am sufficient."
Yan Shutang: ...
’He never imagined they would end up needing to partner with an undergraduate student who hadn’t even graduated yet.’
’But this person she sent...’ Yan Shutang felt he couldn’t get a read on Mei Lin at all.
She was completely expressionless the entire time, making it impossible to read anything from her micro-expressions.
"Isn’t your Miss Yun a senior? Most seniors are out doing internships. She can’t possibly have a full day of classes, can she?"
’As if he hadn’t been an undergrad himself. When *he* was a senior, he was barely ever on campus.’
"Miss Yun does not need to work."
Yan Shutang felt his composure crack once again.
"Then when is your Miss Yun free tomorrow? Let’s set a time."
Mei Lin paused for a moment before replying, "Miss Yun is going to an art exhibition tomorrow afternoon."
Calling it "visiting an art exhibition" was just a cover; the real purpose was to spend money.
For the new week’s spending task, Yun Zijin had to spend 200 million between Monday and Friday.
Although the settlement period was longer, the amount she had to spend had actually increased slightly. Yun Zijin was now specifically seeking out strange and unusual exhibitions—the more expensive, the better.
"Then let’s schedule it for the morning. Can we try to finish before noon?"
Yan Shutang’s patience was worn thin by Mei Lin. ’It’s "Miss Yun" this, "Miss Yun" that. Is she implying that if we don’t accommodate her Miss Yun’s schedule, the work simply can’t proceed?’
"I will relay the message to Miss Yun. However, whether she attends is her decision."
"Fine, fine, fine! Just hurry back and tell your Miss Yun."
Yan Shutang was afraid that if he had to talk to Mei Lin any longer, he was going to lose it.
"See you tomorrow."
With those final, expressionless words, Mei Lin stood up and left the private room.
Once Mei Lin was gone, Yan Shutang turned to Tang Zhaosong. "Mr. Tang, where on earth did you find this partner? With an attitude like that, is she really serious about this?"
"Miss Yun mentioned this to me. Her assistant prioritizes her above all else and can be a bit... cold toward others. But the woman’s a genius, so you’ll just have to put up with it."
Yan Shutang: ’Damn it!’
’As if he hadn’t been called a genius in his day.’
"Hmph! We’ll see about this ’genius.’ I’m eager to see just how incredible this security system of hers really is, that it managed to impress even you."
Tang Zhaosong wanted to admit that he hadn’t seen Mei Lin’s security system either. He’d only seen the soil composition modification methods she had sent to Yun Zijin.
As for how that project evolved into developing a security system, that was also Mei Lin’s doing. Presumably, only Yun Zijin knew the full story.
