Chapter 326: The Ranking of People You Should Never Offend

"How was it? Did I nail the attitude from earlier?"

After stamping the paper, Mo Jingchun curiously stretched forward to observe Li Xuanyu’s facial expression.

That fierce demeanor from earlier should have been okay, right?

Mo Jingchun thought it probably captured some essence.

Li Xuanyu glanced at the slip in her hand, silently praying that her laptop just had a minor issue.

If not, losing all that data would be quite distressing.

Moreover, getting a new computer also means having to set up the development environment again from scratch.

Not to mention the cost, it would also take a whole day.

Talking of which, today has been a streak of bad luck; how did her perfectly fine laptop just break down?

Li Xuanyu sighed; she wasn’t that scared anymore.

Facing Mo Jingchun’s eyes, she said with a slight pout:

"I’ve never heard of any professor at our school looking like they want to eat you while mentoring students."

"Professors have always been so kind and approachable."

"Ignoring reality for a moment, you might be the first professor like this at our school."

Mo Jingchun smiled without arguing.

He was usually kind and approachable, maintaining a demeanor without putting on airs before employees.

However, when issues arise, he doesn’t trouble the lower-level staff; he holds the management accountable.

Just like the last dormitory incident.

Honestly, this approach worked even better.

At least the dormitory environment improved dramatically.

It’s actually the same everywhere in society.

The higher you stand, the more people perceive you as kind and approachable.

Easygoing.

But everyone has negative emotions!

"Alright then!"

"But seriously, once you get home, you really need to spend more time on your thesis project."

"Otherwise, neither of us would look good by then."

"Alright, I won’t keep you from your chatting. You still have a computer to fix."

Mo Jingchun smiled, patting the new computer that Xia Xiaomin had just brought, saying:

"Take this for now. I think your laptop might not start up anymore."

With Mo Jingchun saying so, Li Xuanyu became worried again.

This lousy computer, even though she paid over five thousand for it, ending up as a fool buying it from a relative’s computer shop.

But still, it had accompanied her for almost four years.

How could it just decide to stop working like that?

Li Xuanyu hesitated a bit while holding the potentially-smoking laptop but hugged the new computer to her chest as well.

"I’ll head downstairs first."

"Mm~"

In the elevator, as she watched the floor numbers decrease, Li Xuanyu suddenly froze for a moment.

Didn’t Mo Jingchun just imply she wouldn’t be held back from chatting?

Her face reddened instantly.

This guy, he has so much free time to check the surveillance cameras.

But on second thought, isn’t that fine?

She finished the development tasks; can’t she chat a bit?

Besides, can their exchanges even be termed as chatting? It was clearly discussions about company-related issues.

Ding~

"Twelfth floor, here we are."

She found the repair department and handed over the laptop and the slip from Mo Jingchun.

"Hi there, could you please see if you can fix this smoking laptop, I have a lot of important data in it."

When they have nothing to do, the repair department is usually laid-back, playing on their phones as long as it’s not too excessive, nobody says anything.

Dong Qianli put down his phone, taking the laptop and a... slip?

Hmm? It even had the boss’s personal seal? Could it possibly be fake?

It’s just a computer repair; is there a need to falsify?

For private computers, people often bring them for repair, and as long as you’re polite, the repair team, if they have time, is usually happy to help.

Especially if it’s for a pretty lady.

But now... if this seal is fake, it’s a serious issue.

With uncertainty, Dong Qianli held the slip with a smile and said to Li Xuanyu:

"Please wait a moment, I need to report this slip to my supervisor."

"Sure." Li Xuanyu nodded, finding this process entirely normal.

Dong Qianli entered the office at the back with the slip, finding a supervisor to share his speculations.

The supervisor, upon hearing it and looking at the slip, was also uncertain for a moment.

"Hold on, I’ll check with Secretary Xia."

If this seal really is fake, wow, this young lady is going to be in trouble.

"Hello, Secretary Xia, this is the repair department’s supervisor... it’s like this..."

"The slip is genuine; the boss just wrote it. Please help check her computer."

"If it can’t be repaired, find a way to transfer the data to a new computer."

"Alright, alright, no problem, Secretary Xia."

"Rest assured, we will do our utmost in repairing."

After ending the call, the supervisor and Dong Qianli exchanged surprised glances.

"Gather the guys and check out what’s up with that computer."

"Wow, the slip was personally written by the boss. Who is this girl? How come we’ve never heard of her?"

All around the company, everyone knows the girls you absolutely cannot cross.

At Candy Technology, the young Miss Candy is absolutely untouchable.

An office saying goes: better to offend the boss than to make Candy cry.

Otherwise, your good days are over.

Second to her would be the straightforward girl who comes every year to work summer jobs, Zhou Yaling.

Everyone knows she’s the boss’s cousin.

Don’t be fooled by how the boss often teases Zhou Yaling; try doing it if you’re someone else.

Just see if the boss doesn’t come after you.

Now, it seemed this unknown girl might very well rise quickly to third place.

She might even rank second!

After all, the girl waiting outside seemed exceptionally stunning.

"Let’s go, I’ll go with you all to check the computer’s issue."

With no further ado, better get acquainted while they can.

Sitting on a bench, Li Xuanyu looked bewildered as about a dozen people poured out from the office.

"The computer smoked up, right?"

Li Xuanyu nodded.

"It’s likely some internal electronic component burned out; we’ll need to open it up."

Li Xuanyu nodded.

Nodding was the only option, given their overwhelming presence while she was alone.

Several heads watched as Dong Qianli opened up the laptop.

As soon as it opened, "The motherboard is fried."

"Oh? This laptop seems like a custom build."

Somebody made an offhand remark, but was promptly stepped on by the supervisor, causing them to wince in pain.

Realizing the situation, they dared not make another sound.

Silently, Li Xuanyu cursed her relative’s entire family in her mind.

Dong Qianli glanced at the motherboard, then at the supervisor, before apologetically saying to Li Xuanyu:

"We don’t have spare parts for this motherboard model here."

In fact, all of them knew this old model of motherboard was likely unavailable even at computer repair points.

But of course, they couldn’t say that out loud.
