Chapter 21: An E-mail from Jin Liwei

Long Industries.

It was already dark outside, yet President-CEO Long Tengfei and his assistant were still busily working in the office at the topmost floor of the company building.

The two should have been on their way home by this time, but the President's daughter was involved in yet another embarrassing situation. Granted, it was not her fault this time but it was a fact that her name was still dragged through the mud.

She was still a Long, no matter what. And the Long family cared a lot about their face and image.

Long Tengfei was already exhausted, but the girl was his daughter. He couldn't allow her to be slandered just like that.

"President, we've already taken care of the newspapers and the tabloids but we can't entirely control what's being said on the internet," Cai Guang reported.

Long Tengfei had his eyes closed, rubbing his temples. "Just do your best. Don't let this blow up into something bigger that we can't control. I don't want to give the family, especially the elders, more reasons to force me to disown my own daughter. Xiulan is changing for the better. She's even able to get that tough Qiao Yu to willingly work for her without my influence." A rare, proud look showed on his face. "I want to see how far she can go now that she started taking control of her own life. Don't let others interfere with her."

"Understood."

"Hmph. If it wasn't for the Jin family's protection, I would destroy that bitch. How dare that Fan girl say those things to my, Long Tengfei's, daughter? Unforgivable!"

###

Gold Heights Condominium.

Inside the computer room, Iris read all the malicious comments about her online. She especially paused when reading Fan Luo's post.

She smirked.

Taking out a black notebook, she wrote the name "Fan Luo".

Making all these posts and comments disappear was something extremely easy for her. She could even create a program in minutes to automatically delete anything on the Internet slandering her. However, she chose not to do anything.

Did these people think that their words would hurt her?

She was no longer the same Iris Long from before. For her, these words had nothing to do with her. In fact, she even felt amused reading all the ridiculous rumours about her. As long as her life, safety, or bottom line weren't provoked, mere trash talk wouldn't affect her.

For a hacker like her who treated the web like her own backyard, trash talking was just child's play. Getting involved was not worth her time and effort. However, these noobs better be prepared when she decided to join in on the fun.

Next, she read Jin Chonglin's post. She raised an eyebrow. Not bad. Lucky for him. He didn't get his name written on her black notebook. If she and Jin Chonglin became enemies, she was certain that his arrogant older brother would never give her peace in this life.

Jin Liwei, that villain, warned her to stay away from his younger brother. As if she would be interested in a womanizer like Jin Chonglin.

Besides, she planned to live a life of freedom since waking up in this new body. Getting involved with a superstar like Jin Chonglin would be pure stupidity on her part, even more so with someone as powerful and influential as Jin Liwei. In her mind, Jin Chonglin was attached to his arrogant older brother. She didn't want to have anything to do with either brothers.

For some reason, she kept on feeling that Jin Liwei was dangerous. It was better for her to avoid the brothers from now on.

Ding!

She turned to the computer next to her. Her heart thumped.

Speak of the devil.

Why would Jin Liwei send her an e-mail? She was tempted to delete it without reading but her curiosity won over.

Jin Liwei: "My company won't be partnering with Galaktika. What do you think about these companies?"

He listed five Russian companies. She was familiar with two of them from her past life. The two were involved in some illegal activities, but not as bad as Galaktika. As for the other three, she didn't know any of them.

She wasn't surprised that he knew her e-mail address, or to be exact, the original Iris' old e-mail address. She created a new, more secure e-mail account, but this old e-mail address had a lot of important contacts that might prove helpful for the current her. She wouldn't lose anything by keeping this old account.

For someone as powerful as Jin Liwei, finding her e-mail address was easy. But what kind of e-mail was this? Not even a greeting. What a rude man.

Did he think that she was his personal consultant or something? How audacious!

Delete!

After a few seconds, however, she clicked on the recycle bin and restored the e-mail. She began typing.

Princess Iris: "1 million RMB per company."

Chapter 22: Pay up First

Her plan to live the life of freedom that she always wanted needed a lot of resources. It wouldn't hurt to earn extra cash by doing some freelance work.

Besides, Jin Liwei was filthy rich. A million was just pocket change for someone like him.

Ding!

Jin Liwei: "Deal."

Oh? He agreed quickly. Fine, then. She switched to her new, more secure e-mail account and typed.

Long Xiulan: "This e-mail address is more secure. Pay up first."

She sent him her bank account information.

She moved to another computer and worked on creating a new, personalized music software which would make it easier for her to compose music.

After a couple of minutes, her phone received a message. It was from the bank informing her that her account received a 5 million RMB deposit.

She raised an eyebrow. The man acted fast. She might as well work since he already paid her.

Long Xiulan: "I'll send the information about the companies within 3 days."

Jin Liwei: "OK. But if 3 days pass and you have nothing or what you send me is useless, I want a full refund plus interest. 10 million RMB."

Thief!

Long Xiulan: "Fine. Don't bother me in the meantime."

Jin Liwei: "I'll be waiting, Long Xiulan."

Arrogant bastard.

She went to work immediately by turning on all of the computers in the room. With all of them working at the same time, it was an impressive sight. In truth, she only needed a night to gather all information about the five companies, from what was made public to the most classified ones.

As long as there was an electronic trace, she would be able to find anything no matter how obscure. But a mountain of disorganized information was probably not what the arrogant man wanted. Thus, she told him to wait three days.

For the initial step, she let the software she created herself to automatically gather information. She didn't even need to oversee the process personally.

Looking at the time, she left the room for dinner, letting the computers complete the tasks she inputted by themselves.

She ate a Filipino-style dinner with Dom. The cook finally relented after Dom's constant bugging. He whined about how he felt homesick and wanted to eat some Filipino food. The cook told Dom that if he wanted to eat Filipino food, then he could go cook for himself.

So Dom tried cooking and it was a disaster. He had no culinary skills whatsoever. If the cook was any second later, Dom would've burned down the entire penthouse. The cook promptly kicked him out of the kitchen. Dom redoubled his whining afterwards. The cook couldn't take it anymore, so she especially researched and practiced cooking some Filipino dishes. Dom was, of course, ecstatic.

After a hearty dinner, Iris enjoyed a couple cups of hot white pearls tea1.

Afterwards, she composed music at her recording studio, until her phone received a notification informing her that some of the computers already finished the tasks they were assigned.

For the next two days, she spent almost all her time inside the computer room, only going out to eat, exercise a bit, and answer nature's call. After a lot of hacking and verifying accuracy, she translated the information into Chinese and organized everything into shockingly detailed and comprehensive reports about the five companies.

Information that even the companies themselves may not know was included in the reports. What Iris was about to send Jin Liwei were something that would completely destroy the companies, if given in the wrong hands.

She also included a recommendation for two of the companies, giving them a "clean" rating. As for the other three, well, if Jin Liwei had any decent judgment, he would not have any dealings with them.

53 hours since she started working on this job, she finally sent an e-mail to the arrogant man.

Long Xiulan: "See attached files. Send 590,025.73 RMB to my account for the expenses accrued while gathering information. See attached invoice. The original 5 million payment was only for the final reports."

She looked at the time. It was almost midnight. She stretched, yawning. Then she walked around the room, shutting down the computers one by one.

Her phone sounded. She walked over and checked.

It was a message from the bank notifying her that 590,025.73 RMB was deposited to her account.

Iris smiled. Turning off all the lights, she left the computer room, making sure that the door was closed, before heading to her bedroom to sleep.

  1. Not actual sea pearls, but a tea made of white peony leaves shaped into little balls by hand.
