Chapter 276: Miss Chu, My Old Master Wants to See You
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the blink of an eye, it was Friday. Chu Luo attended class as usual in the morning and was called over by Professor Wu at noon.
The teacher-and-student duo ate at school and went to the Cyberspace Administration Headquarters.
The buildings of the Imperial Cyberspace Administration Headquarters combined the traditional elements of the empire and the popular elements of the Internet. It looked very stylish.
The two of them walked in from outside the door and saw an amiable-looking middle-aged man striding over.
The middle-aged man shook Professor Wu’s hand and said with a smile, “Professor Wu, Little Chu, welcome.”
Chu Luo nodded at him.
The middle-aged man introduced himself. “My name is Lu Zhijiang. I’m the minister in charge of Internet Security. Please follow me.”
Chu Luo and Professor Wu walked in following Lu Zhijiang’s lead.
As Lu Zhijiang walked, he said, “The director and the others know that Little Chu was coming today. They originally planned to receive her personally, but there’s an emergency meeting going on up there. The director specially instructed me to attend to you guys well. If Little Chu needs anything later, just tell me.”
Lu Zhijiang brought the two of them to a computer room on the third floor.
There were all kinds of computers here, and all of them were high-quality. The monitor on the wall at the front, in particular, had rolling data on it that was dazzling.
There were many technicians inside. Every technician looked very busy.
However, these people pulled out the surveillance cameras and peeked at her openly after Chu Luo walked in.
Lu Zhijiang led the two of them inside. After walking for a while, they stopped in a cubicle with more than ten computers.
There were three to four people in the cubicle. Their sitting postures were very casual. One of them simply sat in a chair and rested his feet on another chair. His legs were crossed, and he had a pen in his mouth. He didn’t look like a technician but like an ignorant gangster.
“Cough, cough…”
Lu Zhijiang was a little embarrassed and quickly coughed to alert them.
They subconsciously turned around.
However, they retracted their gazes at the same time.
Just as Lu Zhijiang was about to change his expression, they seemed to have realized something and abruptly turned around.
The men’s gazes were all on Chu Luo’s face. The glint in their eyes made Lu Zhijiang finally unable to help but shout at them, “Retract your gazes. Don’t scare the young lady.”
The bunch of them subconsciously retracted their gazes, but at the same time, they sat up straight and pretended to look at the computers, looking like they were busy.
Lu Zhijiang’s lips twitched and he said to Chu Luo, “Little Chu, don’t mind them. They’re just a bunch of technological geeks who haven’t seen the world.”
Someone was immediately displeased. “Minister Lu, what do you mean by implying we’re inexperienced? We travel the empire’s territory every day and occasionally go abroad for half a day. If this is called ‘haven’t seen the world,’ you probably won’t find someone who has seen the world.”
“Stop spouting nonsense. Let me introduce you. This is Professor Wu from Imperial University’s Computer Science Department. This is Professor Wu’s student, Chu Luo.”
“Chu Luo!”
The bunch of them were shocked when they heard Chu Luo’s name.
“No way. Chu Luo is actually so young?”
“Chu Luo is actually so beautiful!”
“Minister Lu, are you joking with us?”
…
Lu Zhijiang couldn’t be bothered to talk to them anymore. He turned around and said to Chu Luo, “Little Chu, choose any computer and start building the Taiji Eight Trigrams Defensive Network.”
Chu Luo nodded and walked to an empty computer. She pulled a chair and sat down before starting to operate the computer.
The technicians quickly slid their chairs over.
“I say, little one, are you really that Chu Luo who built the Taiji Eight Trigrams Defense Network?”
“You look so young. How do you have so much computer knowledge?”
“You…”
Chu Luo suddenly turned to look at them and said, “Shut up.”
Her voice wasn’t loud, but it had a powerful aura that stunned the men.
They felt a little unhappy, but they didn’t want to miss out on seeing how she’d build such a huge defense net. They all stood behind her and stared at the computer she was operating.
Lu Zhijiang couldn’t bear to look at them and retracted his gaze. He said to Professor Wu, “Don’t mind them. The technicians who can enter this place are all quite skilled. It’s just that they’re a little unconvinced, especially with someone like Little Chu… Uh…”
Professor Wu nodded in understanding.
Chu Luo started operating the computer and sat there without moving. An hour later, Lu Zhijiang, who went out to answer a call and came in with two bottles of water, was a little surprised. “Has Little Chu been operating the computer?”
“Yes.” Professor Wu occasionally went over to take a look and then gave Chu Luo some suggestions. However, most of the time, he sat at the side and watched.
Lu Zhijiang handed a bottle of water to Professor Wu and handed the other bottle to Chu Luo.
Chu Luo didn’t even look up. She only thanked him but didn’t take it.
Lu Zhijiang put the water aside for her and didn’t forget to say to the technicians who were looking at her computer, “You’re not allowed to disturb Little Chu.”
The technicians ignored him and continued staring at the computer screen.
A few hours later, the director and the other leaders who had gone to the meeting returned.
They walked over and were a little surprised to see the scene in front of them.
Right now, when Chu Luo gave an order, the technicians immediately did as told.
A leader pointed at them and said in surprise, “They’re actually so obedient!”
Lu Zhijiang smiled and said, “They’ve been this obedient since Chu Luo built the defensive net cone.”
“Not bad, not bad. Looks like someone can finally restrain these troublemakers.”
The director smiled at Professor Wu and shook his hand.
“Professor Wu, thank you for your trouble.”
Professor Wu waved his hand and didn’t intend to take the credit. “It’s all thanks to Little Chu. I just accompanied her here.”
“Haha… You’re both amazing,” the director said and gave him a thumbs up.
Then, the few of them walked over to watch Chu Luo operate the computer.
After looking at it for a while, the director was a little surprised to discover that the bottle of water beside Chu Luo hadn’t even been opened. “Has Little Chu been operating the computer for the past few hours?”
“Yes.”
The director nodded. “She’s really a fine young lady.”
It took Chu Luo more than six hours to create the Taiji Eight Trigrams Defense Network.
After stopping, she moved her slightly stiff fingers and said to the technicians, “My mission is completed. You can continue to perfect this defense network from here on.”
A technician subconsciously asked, “Chu Luo, are you going to wash your hands of it?”
The other technicians looked at her expectantly.
Chu Luo glanced at them and said straightforwardly, “I’ve already told you the most important technical aspects just now. Why should I continue to care?”
“But this Taiji Eight Trigrams is too difficult!”
“You can read more books in this area. I was inspired by reading.”
“…”
Looking at the technicians who were instantly deflated, the others laughed.
Lu Zhijiang said, “Who told you guys to suspect Chu Luo’s ability before? You’re stumped for words now, aren’t you?”
“There’s nothing we can do. We’re finished.”
“Hahaha…”
After Lu Zhijiang laughed, he said to Chu Luo and Professor Wu, “It’s getting late. Let’s go eat first.”
Chu Luo shook her head. “Forget about dinner. You just have to give me the certificate.”
“…”
Professor Wu laughed and said, “Don’t mind her, everyone. Little Chu has such a personality.”
“Hahaha, I don’t mind, I don’t mind.”
“Chu Luo made a great contribution today. We only have praises for her… Chu Luo, why aren’t you willing to eat with us?”
Chu Luo: “I have something on tonight.”
She even emphasized, “Something very important.”
“Alright.” The director didn’t make things difficult for her. He said, “I still have to get the certificate stamped, but I promise to give it to you on Monday.”
Chu Luo was satisfied.
Since Chu Luo wasn’t willing to stay for dinner, Professor Wu definitely wouldn’t stay. The two of them walked out of the Cyberspace Administration Headquarters under the escort of the director and a group of leaders.
However, just as she reached the entrance of the Cyberspace Administration Headquarters, she saw a person in a special uniform walking over.
That person walked up to Chu Luo and said to her, “Miss Chu, my old master wants to see you.”
Before Chu Luo could speak, the director and the others looked at Chu Luo in surprise.
The director probed, “Little Chu, do you know Old Master Qin?”
Chu Luo looked at the person in front of her and said directly, “No.”
After saying that, she said to that person, “I don’t know your old master, and it’s very late. Tell him that if he insists on inviting me, he can tell my family. If my family agrees, I’ll go see him.”
Then, she said to Professor Wu, “Professor Wu, let’s go.”
After saying that, she took the lead and walked towards their car.
The director and the others looked at Chu Luo, who’d left immediately, and then at the uniformed man standing there with a scowl on his face. They were surprised and worried.
After the car drove out, Professor Wu looked at the car following behind theirs and was a little worried. “Little Chu, that person has been following us. Why don’t you call your boyfriend?”
Chu Luo glanced at the rearview mirror and thought for a while before saying to him, “Professor Wu, stop the car after we leave that street.”
“Little Chu, what are you trying to do?”
In order not to worry him, Chu Luo thought for a while and smiled. “Professor Wu, don’t worry. Just now, it was because there were too many people. I didn’t want to be misunderstood, so I didn’t agree to meet Old Master Qin with that person.. Now that I’ve walked out of that street, I’ll go see Old Master Qin.”
