NTA Computing Institute.

Everyone stared at Nan Yan in shock.

On her computer screen were confidential files that Orbis thought he had destroyed along with the motherboard. Even Tan Lin, who had failed to obtain them earlier, was amazed.

Nan Yan’s hands rested lightly on the keyboard as she looked up at Tan Lin and said, “CSA is infamous in the industry for frequently stealing confidential files from other companies and then using them for blackmail. Director, take a look at these and see if they’re useful. If not, just delete them.”

Tan Lin, his excitement evident, rubbed his hands together. Such a talented individual, such remarkable skills, it would be unjust not to have her in his computing institute!

He didn’t respond to her words but asked with a friendly smile, “Nan Yan… can I call you Yan Yan?”

Nan Yan looked at him for a moment and replied, “…Sure.”

“You see, with your abilities, participating in the university’s computer competition is somewhat beneath you. How about joining my computing institute and participating in international events? Not only are the cash prizes more significant, but you can also increase your reputation in the industry and truly unleash your potential!”

Nan Yan could see the eagerness in Tan Lin’s eyes but shook her head calmly,

“I’m sorry, I haven’t considered joining any computing institute.”

“Consider it? Actually, we have a lot of freedom here. No need to work fixed hours or clock in, the pay is good, the equipment is top-notch, and we don’t restrict members from using the institute’s resources for personal projects. You can continue attending classes at school and doing what you love, just drop by occasionally and help out!”

The group:

What did they just hear?

Why does this sound completely different from the requirements when they joined the institute?

Oh…

This is the difference between a big shot and regular members.

They aren’t deserving of it.

Then, a few senior members looked at Zhang Lingxian with great sympathy.

Zhang Lingxian:

Why are they looking at him like that?

Do they think that if Nan Yan joins the institute, his position will be at risk?

Because he’s Tan Lin’s disciple, to some extent, everyone believes that Zhang Lingxian will be the next director of the NTA Computing Institute.

But now, if someone who excels in every aspect, is incredibly strong, and even younger comes along, the position of the successor might not be guaranteed. Zhang Lingxian realized this and couldn’t help but roll his eyes at them.

They were overthinking things.

NTA was not going to be able to keep Nan Yan.

If she had any intention of joining a computing institute, it would undoubtedly be the one in the capital city.

Moreover, she had multiple paths she could take.

Here, if she agreed, it would be at most a stepping stone.

After Tan Lin finished speaking, he nervously awaited her response.

Nan Yan considered what he had said.

It seemed that if she took on a part-time role here, it wouldn’t disrupt much.

Working for Bai Yiqi had a similar nature; she could occasionally find time to take on a few tasks.

“Okay,” she agreed, “but I may not have a lot of time to spare, just letting you know in advance.”

Tan Lin quickly chuckled, “That’s okay, as long as you’re willing to come!”

The matter of joining NTA was settled.

And in the competition with CSA, of course, their side won.

As Tan Lin happily strolled back to his own office, Nan Yan raised an eyebrow and looked at the people who had teased her earlier.

“Now, is it our turn?” she asked.

Older members: “?! ”

If they thought Nan Yan was overestimating her abilities before, now they were very much aware that they were the ones underestimating her.

“Uh, can we not compete now?”

Fighting against her would be a complete mismatch!

Thinking about Nan Yan’s terrifying strength, they realized they might be completely overwhelmed.

Who in their right mind would willingly seek out such a beating?

Nan Yan curved her lips, smiling wickedly. “No, you can’t.”

Several people: “Uh…”

Zhang Lingxian gloated on the side, “I advise you not to evade. Look at how much the Director treasures Miss Nan Yan. Don’t bring trouble upon yourselves.”

Several people:

They had no choice but to face Nan Yan one-on-one.

And they all ended up getting completely thrashed, not knowing which way was up and almost falling into depression.

After being defeated three times each, Nan Yan took out her phone and was escorted out of the institute by Zhang Lingxian.

“Nan Yan, do you need a ride to school? I can drop you off,” he offered. Nan Yan shook her head. “No need. Someone is coming to pick me up.”

She had already called the driver from the old mansion in advance.

Sure enough, after waiting outside for a minute or two, a familiar car gradually approached. However, it wasn’t the old mansion’s car; it was Qin Lu’s car.

Nan Yan raised an eyebrow.

She hadn’t even called him, so how did he know she was here?

Qin Lu was very busy, so unless it was necessary, she didn’t want to disturb him. Yet, he still came…

“Mr. Zhang, the person who’s picking me up has arrived. You can go in first. ”

“Oh, alright. Nan Yan, I really appreciate your help this time. If you ever need assistance in the future, feel free to reach out to me.”

“No need to be so polite.”

Zhang Lingxian watched Nan Yan walk towards the Rolls-Royce and then turned to go inside.

Nan Yan opened the car door and got in directly.

After seating herself, she fastened her seatbelt and asked, “Aren’t you very busy?”

Qin Lu, with one hand on the steering wheel, casually looked at her. “Is there a conflict between being busy and picking you up?”

Nan Yan:

Was he trying to express that work was not as important as her?

“Where to?” she asked.

Nan Yan blinked, “You came to pick me up, and you don’t know where I’m going?”

Qin Lu calmly replied, “Hmm, I only knew you were here.”

Well, she hadn’t told Uncle Tian where she was going either.

She leaned back in her seat, finding a comfortable position. “Take me to the First Hospital, please.”

The First Hospital.

Nan Yan unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car. Seeing that Qin Lu had no intention of leaving but was coming down with her, she couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t you working today?”

Qin Lu walked over to her, and his large hand naturally rested on her head.

“Work is for work hours. Now I want to spend time with my little one.”

He was trying to restrain himself from the habit of wanting to ruffle her hair, but it didn’t seem to be working. Every time he saw her, he subconsciously wanted to mess with her hair. Especially when he saw her irritated and speechless expression, he felt a strange sense of accomplishment.

Getting her to show some emotion on her face was quite a challenge, especially with her cold and distant demeanor.

Nan Yan raised an eyebrow and looked at him speechlessly for a moment. Then, she expressionlessly pulled his hand down.

She muttered, “Don’t mess up my hair.”

“No, I didn’t,” Qin Lu chuckled softly and naturally held her hand. “Are there new patients?”

Nan Yan glanced down at their intertwined hands and then averted her gaze.

Holding hands, huh?

Well, it wasn’t the first time. It was probably becoming a habit. She was slowly getting used to his presence, especially with all the care he was giving her.

“In a couple of days, I might have to go on a trip..”
