In the president's office of Qin Corporation headquarters.
After listening to Qin Xinhui's work report, Qin Yonghao asked, "Have you contacted Crow yet?"
"Not yet," Qin Xinhui replied, lowering his head.
Qin Yonghao frowned in displeasure and sternly asked, "What have you been doing these past few days?"
Qin Xinhui had been busy suppressing the leaked intimate photos of himself. Not daring to reveal this, he reported the situation that day:
"I contacted Crow's assistant, Shi Ban. We were talking smoothly, but Yu He was also present that day and disrupted our conversation. She said the price we offered was too low and wanted to compare it with XS Group's offer, intending to drive up the price."
"Why was she there?" Qin Yonghao asked, his face darkening.
"Shi Ban said Yu He was her assistant, but I suspect Yu He was helping Uncle get close to Shi Ban to extract information about Crow," Qin Xinhui speculated.
After all, whoever signed Crow first would get the credit.
The family head only cared about results, not the process. Qin Beiting had been sent to the Northern Branch company for over two years and was definitely looking for an opportunity to prove himself and return to headquarters!
"Then why aren't you acting quickly! Waiting for them to sign Crow first?" Qin Yonghao urged.
One Qin Beiting was already enough pressure for their Fourth Branch. With Yu He joining, the pressure would be even greater.
Neither of them could be allowed to stay, especially Yu He. If she unearthed the events of that year, it would be a fatal blow to their Fourth Branch!
Qin Xinhui responded, "Yes. I'll go to the North City later. According to reliable sources, Crow will attend the XS Group's third-anniversary celebration tonight. I'll go directly to the banquet to talk to her in person."
"I'll go with you. We must sign Crow tonight."
Qin Yonghao asked his secretary to find the invitation letter previously sent by XS Group. He hadn't intended to go before, but now that Crow was going, he had to. He had to sign the person before XS Group made their move!
Otherwise, given XS Group's history of constantly opposing Qin Corporation, if they knew Qin Corporation was seeking cooperation with Crow, they would definitely snatch her. He had to go sign her himself!
Moreover, he could use the venue of XS Group to scout for a few more renowned hackers. He refused to believe that XS Group couldn't have signed all of the top one hundred hackers.
In the evening, North City.
Ye Jianming and his two sons, all dressed in formal suits, were heading to XS Group to attend the third-anniversary celebration. XS Group had invested in the Ye family's company, so they had received an invitation.
Along the way, the vehicles moved slowly like snails. Traffic police and on-duty officers were visible everywhere, and there were even several armed police units, creating a scene of city-wide alert.
"What's going on today? Is some big shot or leader coming to North City for an inspection?" Ye Jianming asked curiously.
Ye Qichen, scrolling through news on his phone, explained, "The train stations, airports, and immigration customs are even stricter than here. It's said that many people are coming for the world's top one hundred hackers invited to XS Group's third-anniversary celebration. Generally, these hackers don't reveal themselves in the third dimension, but XS Group has managed to gather them all. Many tourists and high-level executives from technology companies have come out of admiration. The number of foreign inbound tourists at North City Airport has set a new record in the past two days."
"To be precise, they are all coming for 'Crow'," Ye Zizheng corrected him.
He handed them his tablet, which was displaying the latest updates from the hacker forums.
"Not just tourists and hackers, even..."
"Family, on the hacker forum, the US has increased the bounty for Crow from $100,000 to $1,000,000! Oh my goodness, $1,000,000! That's over six million yuan! As long as you find Crow, this six million yuan is yours! The US is determined to get Crow."
"Just now, the space agency of Country E issued a bounty of ten million yuan, asking people worldwide to help them find Crow. It seems Country E wants to compete with Country M for resources!"
"No wonder the traffic in North City is almost paralyzed today. The Deputy Director of our country's space agency has also come personally! Look at this license plate, isn't it Xing Que's license plate? Could it be that even Xing Que is here to snatch someone?"
"And the president of Qin Corporation, Fourth Master Qin, is also here! The CEOs of several domestic chip companies have also arrived!"
Viewers watching the live stream sent bullet comments:
[Stop talking, quickly focus the camera on the entrance. If I find Crow online, will the reward still be mine?]
[I'm so curious who Crow really is!]
[Exactly, that's over sixteen million yuan!]
[Seen it all, the whole country is looking for Crow.]
