Chapter 350 - Mrs. Lu’s Thoughts

Mrs. Lu revealed a gentle smile. “Only an outstanding guy is deserving of a girl as beautiful and capable as Student Zi.”

The two female students looked at Mrs. Lu. They felt that there was another deeper meaning behind her words, but they could not find fault with it.

In the end, they headed backstage without responding.

Mrs. Lu looked away and shifted her gaze to Zi Yi who was standing on the stage.

Zi Yi walked to Professor Qin.

Professor Qin deliberately wanted to test if she was well-versed in IT and thus, he asked, “Little Zi, today’s stage will be using a 4D panorama view, but there will be some delays during the scene transition. This will also cause some delays during the change in programs. What do you think should be done?”

The moment Zi Yi heard his question, she knew that Professor Qin had deliberately asked her that question.

These types of questions were entry-level and she could easily answer them, “The solution is very simple…”

After she gave the solution, Zi Yi continued to say, “Compared to these types of situations, Professor Qin should pay more attention to the fact as to whether hackers would infiltrate the system.”

Professor Qin was surprised by what she brought up. “Why did Little Zi think of hackers infiltrating instead?”

“I’ve checked the situation of all the large-scale events of M.Uni every year since its founding and realized a pattern. Ever since M.Uni is selected as one of the top ten famous universities worldwide, many hackers attempt to hack into M.Uni every year.

Moreover, the time and place of each attack are different. The second half of the year has just begun and according to X’s law, they should be attacking tonight’s event.

Professor Qin subconsciously frowned.

The Logistics Department Head Wu Jiang found her suggestion to be baffling. “Student Zi, that’s only a guess of yours. Hackers would indeed attack M.Uni every year, but their target is the important database servers of every school and how could they possibly attack the evening event?”

The Organization Department Head, Tang Zhiyuan felt that Zi Yi was creating a fuss out of nowhere. “That’s right. It’s not like hackers have nothing better to do. Why would they attack the event?”

Zi Yi looked at Professor Qin. She knew that they did not believe her and did not intend to argue her way through. She merely said, “This is only a guess of mine. You can choose not to believe in it.”

In fact, Professor Qin agreed with Wu Jiang and Tang Zhiyuan’s train of thought. However, since he is involved in the event tonight, he would not allow for the slightest mistake to happen. “It’s good that Student Zi can think of this. I’ll get the programmers to pay more attention.”

Following that, he changed the topic of the conversation.

There was still another half an hour before the event. The entrance was opened and they started to allow the crowd to make their way inside.

Elites from all walks of life and invited individuals from the Education Bureau, along with some famous masters and reporters had arrived one after another.

As the President of the Student Union, Nangong Yu led a group of Department Heads who had nothing to do, and they were responsible for the reception.

The whole auditorium became noisy.

When everyone walked to the main entrance, they saw a group of robots who were responsible for verifying their identities. There were many who could not help but praise.

“As expected of M.Uni. To think that they brought out robots for verification of identities.”

Just then, when someone was about to walk past the robot, it released a warning sound. Shortly after, the robot’s voice sounded. “Dangerous item detected. Please take them out or else you will not be allowed entry.”

The person held back was a male student. He had a stunned expression before he touched his pockets and took out a foldable fruit knife. All of a sudden, he felt like burying a hole to hide inside.

A few leaders of the Education Bureau who just happened to be led over there saw the situation and nodded in appreciation. “This is good. It ensures safety inside the auditorium.”

Besides detecting dangerous items, the robot had many other functions. The several leaders simply stood there and spectated for some time. All of them spoke highly of the robot.

The reporters had even got the photographers to do plenty of close-ups of the robots, as they were ready to return and write a good report.

At 6:50 p.m, all the audience had entered the auditorium.

At that time, several programmers from the Computer Science Department and Mechanical Engineering Department were monitoring the situation in the control room.

Zi Yi sat on the side as she took out her phone to scroll.

Mrs. Lu did not leave and she sat right beside her.

After she scrolled for some time, Zi Yi looked up and said to Mrs. Lu, “Auntie, the event will be starting soon. Why don’t you head in front to watch?”

“It’s not too late for me to go out when it’s almost your turn to perform,” Mrs. Lu smiled and said, “The ticket Professor Qin got for me is just right at the second row near the backstage exit. No one would notice me if I head over in the middle.”

Zi Yi nodded her head and looked at the large monitor opposite of them. “Then watch the live broadcast first.”

“Ok.”

Mrs. Lu looked away and slightly lowered her eyes. She thought about the news that the men she got to monitor Li Peirong had informed her of. She hesitated as to whether she should tell Zi Yi first or her son.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu glanced at Zi Yi who was scrolling on her phone, and finally decided to talk about this with her son first.

When Zi Yi saw Mrs. Lu standing up, she looked in her direction.

Mrs. Lu said, “I’ll make a trip to the restroom.”

Zi Yi nodded and Mrs. Lu headed out.

She went to a hidden corner and gave Lu Jingye a call.

Lu Jingye answered her call very quickly and Mrs. Lu informed him of what she had discovered. “The Dongfang Family surely has some ill intentions. That Li Peirong isn’t a kind soul either. Jingye, I don’t wish to upset Little Zi with these things. Why don’t you resolve them directly?”

Lu Jingye replied, “Mother, don’t worry. I will immediately get someone to take care of it at once.”

Only then did Mrs. Lu end the phone call.

The various higher-ups of M.Uni took to the stage to give a speech at the very start. When the event officially started, Zi Yi could feel everyone’s enthusiasm even though she was watching through the screen.

Tonight’s evening event was a program compiled by students of M.Uni themselves. There was also a celebrity performance and every program was very interesting and engaging.

The spectators were all so engaged in the performance and they had even cheered during exciting segments.

Professor Qin nodded his head in satisfaction. “Not bad. As expected of M.Uni’s students. Not only are they able to excel in academics, they are also talented in other aspects.”

Speaking up to here, he turned to Zi Yi and asked, “Student Zi, when is your program?”

“Third from the last.”

The moment Zi Yi said that, all of them turned to her.

Zi Yi felt their gazes and found it puzzling.”What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”

The first to express his anger was Liu Kai. “Junior Zi, who the hell arranged for your program? Why did they put you third from last?”

“What’s wrong with that?”

“The audiences would more or less have spent all their energy and attention in the first few performances. Therefore, in the last few performances, the audiences would basically be tired and it’s not advantageous to you at all.”

Zi Yi thought for a moment and said affirmatively, “They won’t. I will let them remember my performance.”

Everyone remained silent as they felt that Zi Yi was too confident of herself.

However, Mrs. Lu smiled instead. “I also feel that Zi Yi’s performance would be the most outstanding no matter the sequence.”

Everyone continued to remain silent.

Just then, one of the programmers suddenly spoke. “Why do I feel that my computer just flashed?”

His words caused Professor Qin and several other programmers to look in his direction.

The next second, their screens went black.

Shortly after, the door was pushed open. “Professor Qin, it’s bad. A terrifying scene is being projected.”
