When Su Yang rushed to the Information Building, Song Haolin was waiting for her at the door of Classroom 303.
"Senior brother!"
Su Yang had run in a hurry and still held a half - eaten rice ball in her hand.
Seeing this, Song Haolin asked her with concern, "Haven't you had lunch?"
Su Yang quickly wrapped the rice ball up again and then put it into her bag.
"No. It's so hot that I didn't have much of an appetite at noon. Now I'm a bit hungry."
Song Haolin glanced at her without saying a word. He just stepped aside to let Su Yang into the classroom and then closed the door behind him.
In the first row of the classroom sat a young boy with a fresh - faced look and a crew cut. He looked energetic.
Song Haolin introduced, "This is Liu from the Computer Department. He got the first place in the college entrance exam last year and entered our school. He's a little genius."
Su Yang quickly greeted him, "Isn't it a waste of your talent, junior, to help me like this?"
Liu grinned and scratched his head. Without much talk, he turned the screen of the laptop in front of him towards Su Yang.
"Sister, this is the IP address you and senior brother wanted to check." Liu stammered a bit, "It's just... the school doesn't allow this kind of thing. Our... "
"I understand, I understand!" Su Yang quickly nodded. As she sat down, she said, "Don't worry, junior. Once we leave this classroom, we don't know each other."
As Su Yang leaned forward to look at the computer screen, she froze.
The IP address of the deleted rumor post on the campus forum clearly showed the address of her own dormitory.
Room 5 - 1, 5th Floor, Dormitory Building No. 7, South Area of University A.
After leaving the Information Building, Su Yang felt a bit dazed.
Although she hadn't fully sorted out the cause and effect, she was now sure that this whole thing was aimed at her.
Song Haolin also didn't expect such a result. He followed Su Yang downstairs all the way. After hesitating for a long time, he apologized to Su Yang first.
"I made the decision to ask the junior to help you without your consent. I didn't expect..."
"No, senior brother. To be honest, even if you didn't help me check today, I came to school just to ask you for help." Su Yang interrupted Song Haolin's self - blame.
The two of them exchanged a tacit smile. Then Song Haolin asked her, "What are you going to do next?"
Actually, he also wanted to ask if she had any suspects, but then he thought it might not be appropriate to say so now.
Su Yang shook her head, "I need to think this over carefully. Anyway, the post has been deleted. There's no need to rush the investigation. I'll find a chance to contact my roommates first."
Song Haolin nodded in agreement, "If you need any help, just tell me. I'll be on campus for the next two days."
"Thank you, senior brother!"
Su Yang gave Song Haolin a grateful smile and then parted ways with him on the tree - lined avenue in front of the Information Building.
After leaving the school, Su Yang spotted the restaurant where they had dined that day across the road.
She checked the time. It was just past four. After a moment's thought, she strode towards the restaurant.
It wasn't mealtime yet. Apart from the landlady sitting at the cashier, there were only a few waiters lying on the tables taking a rest in the restaurant.
Su Yang walked up to the landlady and simply said that she was just inquiring about someone. Then she flipped through her phone album and showed the landlady a group photo of her dormitory.
"It was just the other day. I'm not sure if you still remember, but I remember that you were at the cashier when the teacher came to pay the bill." Su Yang spoke politely and patiently.
The landlady saw a neatly - dressed little girl and was willing to do her a favor. So she leaned in to take a closer look.
Suddenly, she squinted and pointed at a girl on the phone screen, "Oh, on that day, I remember this little girl!"
As she spoke, the landlady casually pointed to a seat by the window, "That little girl was sitting there that day. She hadn't left when you paid the bill."
Su Yang turned to look, "You... didn't remember wrong, did you?"
"How could I remember wrong!" The landlady slapped the table and looked like she was pouring out her grievances.
"That little girl came to have a meal with her friend that day. They only ordered two dishes and a soup. Then they found a little worm in the shredded pork and green vegetable soup. It was just a tiny worm. Oh, those two little girls were so tough. They insisted on a full refund. They argued for a long time. With so many regular customers watching, I felt really embarrassed. So I told our waiters not to argue with them. It was a matter of less than a hundred yuan in total."
As she spoke, the landlady pointed at the phone screen with a mixed expression of laughter and annoyance, "Especially this little girl. She was so sharp - tongued and unyielding when she had the upper hand. I definitely won't remember wrong!"
Su Yang forced a smile, feeling as if there was a fishbone in her throat. Her heart suddenly felt blocked.
After thanking the landlady, she hesitated for a moment. Then she walked to the window - side table that the landlady had pointed at with her phone.
Sometimes, if those malicious pointers are put to good use, they can become strong and real evidence to dispel all the fog in front...
When Su Yang pulled out a chair and sat down, turned on the camera mode, and slowly raised her phone, aiming at the aisle in front of her, she immediately found that the shooting angle was exactly the same as that of the video uploaded in the post.
Su Yang put down her phone, took a deep breath, and suddenly burst into a dazed laugh.
At the same time, Xu Lize was standing with his hands on his hips in the spacious and bright meeting room, losing his temper.
"For such a large bidding project, how could your Group A make such a stupid mistake? Have you all lost your minds?"
The meeting room was completely silent. Everyone shrank their necks and lowered their heads, not daring to breathe loudly.
Not getting a response from his subordinates, Xu Lize threw the stack of documents in his hand onto the meeting table.
"The duck that was in our hands flew away. I'd like to see how you're going to deal with this tougher problem next!"
Xu Lize rarely lost his temper in the company because he always looked serious. Even when he wasn't angry, his handsome face was still stern.
But when he was angry, his face would look even more gloomy.
Suddenly, the screen of his phone on the table lit up silently.
Xu Lize took a glance, lowered his eyes, and answered the call. Then he waved at the leader of Group A.
Seeing this, the group leader felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He stood up first as Xu Lize said "Hello". After gathering the documents scattered on the table, he rushed out of the meeting room with his team members like a man fleeing a disaster.
Xu Lize was still fuming. Only when the door of the meeting room slowly closed did he turn his attention to the phone.
"Aze, you're not being fair. You didn't even say a word about such a big event as your marriage?" A deep voice came from the other end of the phone, with a light - hearted tone.
Xu Lize frowned and snorted, "Lu Yanke is such a big - mouth."
The person on the other side immediately burst into laughter, "You've wronged Ayan this time. It has nothing to do with him. It's Su Quansheng. Now that he's finally managed to get on Mingkai's big ship, he shows off to everyone."
"So what instructions do you have, General Manager Chen?" Xu Lize rubbed his nose bridge with a headache. Just thinking about Su Quansheng's snobbish behavior made him feel disgusted.
"I wouldn't dare to give instructions. I'm just curious. The new Mrs. Xu is Su Quansheng's eldest daughter, Su Yang, right?"
"Chen Qichuan, are you really that idle today?"
"Haha..." General Manager Chen, who was named by Xu Lize, laughed even louder, "Aze, isn't it a coincidence? I have a list of candidates for the second - round interview of the administrative secretariat. There's just a college student named Su Yang on it. Could it be just a coincidence of names?"
