Chapter 123: Project Apex

Ruan Yingying did not come today, so the director arranged to film Qiao Siyu and Mu Sheng’s parts first.

Before going through the lines, Mu Sheng nodded at Qiao Siyu. “Thanks for the post.”

Jiang Tian especially reminded her to thank Qiao Siyu for helping.

“You’re welcome.” Qiao Siyu smiled. “Your acting is genuinely good. I am sure the viewers will find out in good time.”

“Let’s go through our lines.”

“Sure.”

Mu Sheng and Qiao Siyu got into their parts and became a young man and woman hailing from a small coastal town 20 years ago.

Tang Tiantian sniffled as she watched in the distance, completely immersed in Mu Sheng’s acting. “Tian, Sheng’s acting is simply brilliant.”

Jiang Tian did not disagree with Tang Tiantian for once. “Considering Mu Sheng’s major potential, we might just make hundreds of millions this year.”

Tang Tiantian’s teardrop fell onto her eyelash before her lips twitched. “Hundreds of millions?”

“That goes without saying.” Jiang Tian looked confident.

Tang Tiantian naturally did not believe what he said. “If we do, can you reward me by giving me a small apartment?”

“Of course. I will give you a big one!” Jiang Tian looked determined.

Tang Tiantian did not take what Jiang Tian said to heart and was just talking randomly. She was completely oblivious that her dream to buy her own place in the capital in 50 years would get fulfilled in a year.

At a secret research facility in the capital, the atmosphere was particularly intense.

“We have done our best, but they have gathered internationally renowned hackers to form the Black Spider Alliance. We failed to fight back.” A young man reported the recent events to his superiors worriedly.

“Our safety net is simply too weak. It was fortunate that we called Project Apex to a halt previously. If they managed to get away with the data, we won’t be able to answer to our countrymen.”

Their highest superior interrupted, “Enough. Do your best to find talent internationally at all costs. We can execute Project Apex when our safety net is strong enough. We have to be wary of Continent M now that they have their eyes on us.”

“Okay.” Everyone looked worried after the meeting ended.

“Lu Ning, do you think we can still activate Project Apex? Each time we make headway, Continent M detects our movement and spies on us. What’s worse is that they are more technologically advanced than we are.” Wang Yu held his laptop and walked up to a tall young man sitting right at the front.

Lu Ning turned around and looked particularly young. “It’s hard to say for now. In any case, we don’t get to make the decision. We should focus on our work and await the orders.”

“Sigh.” Wang Yu shook his head. “This is so hard. If I knew things would end up this way, I would study history. I would rather be a street hawker than sit around working so hard that I am starting to lose hair without having any results.”

“Enough. I know you are just complaining.” Lu Ning smiled. “Back in the day, a foreign company headhunted you and offered you millions of dollars worth of annual income, but you ended up turning them down.”

“If I could travel to the past, I will definitely take that job rather than stay and suffer,” sneered Wang Yu. “Never mind. I am going back to work on that problem.”

Lu Ning shook his head as he watched Wang Yu from behind. Even though Wang Yu claimed he wished he took the high-paying job, he had already gone back to research. He certainly did not mean what he said.

Lu Ning’s phone suddenly rang. He glanced at it and saw an invitation from his university schoolmate.

He had worked at Cat Live’s operation department ever since he graduated and was sending wedding invites to his old friends.

Lu Ning checked the calendar. Since he happened to have two more days of leave, he replied: [Okay.. I will be there.]
