Li Ci repeated the name with uncertainty as he asked, “Zhou Liu?”

Li Ran blinked her big eyes as she replied, “That’s right. He even said that he wasn’t in good health when he was young, so his name was changed to this. Interesting, right?!”

Li Ran had a lot to say about Zhou Liu. At the same time, she had to get an effective response from the listener.

Li Ci nodded perfunctorily, but was thinking about something else.

Zhou Liu was a top student in the puter science major and was good at cyberattacks. He won first prize in the school’s puter petition for typing speed. He was a genius that even the teachers praised.

Most importantly, he was one of the employees of Yuan An’s technical department, and he was also the employee most valued by the technical department head.

Li Ci had just investigated the internal staff of Yuan An today, so he knew that Yuan Shu had recently fired three employees and increased the salary of one employee, and this person was Zhou Liu.

Zhou Liu had just bee a full-time employee recently. Under normal circumstances, interns would need at least two months of interning before they could bee full-time employees. However, not only had he bee a full-time employee after only 20 days, but he had also received another bonus ten days after being a full-time employee. This wasn’t a mon thing.

Previously, the reason Li Ci had mentioned to Yuan Shu that he wanted to introduce talents to Yuan An was that he realized that his rival had already arranged for someone to enter the pany. If he didn’t make a move, he would only be a step slower than others, but he didn’t expect that he would alert the enemy and make Yuan Shu pletely cut ties with him. He also made her more vigilant and reshuffle the pany. Now, it would be even more difficult to investigate the other party.

What’s more, this reshuffling even repaired and upgraded Yuan An’s problems in the software and system. Li Ci had every reason to suspect that the person who could find the system’s flaws in time and repair the flaws to upgrade the firewall must be Zhou Liu. That was why he received a bonus after being promoted.

She didn’t expect things to be so coincidental. Just as Li Ci was worrying about how to get close to this person, Zhou Liu actually met Li Ran.

This unexpected opportunity gave Li Ci a chance to get close to Zhou Liu.

“Uncle, why are you so distracted? I’m talking to you!” Li Ran could tell that Li Ci was distracted and dissatisfied. Hence, she shook Li Ci’s arm and made him look at her.

After Li Ci came back to his senses, he looked at her and coaxed, “Good girl, 1 heard what you said. Of course it’s interesting. 1 didn’t expect the two of you to talk so much after just getting to know each other in the afternoon. My little niece is really amazing!”

Li Ran could tell that Li Ci was mocking her. In a fit of pique, she took her phone and wanted to return to her room. “I’m not talking to you anymore. I was originally waiting for you to e back to have supper with you. Now, you can eat by yourself!”

Li Ci hurriedly pulled her back and coaxed her. “Why are you angry when I’m praising you? Why don’t I eat supper with you?”

Li Ran didn’t have a big appetite. She became full after eating very little, but her digestion was very fast. Therefore, she needed afternoon tea and supper every day. Ever since she started staying at Li Ci’s house, she made him acpany her for supper every day. It made Li Ci gain weight and forced him to take time out to exercise every day.

Li Ran’s anger came and went quickly. Since her uncle was coaxing her, she naturally didn’t hold a grudge anymore. She took out her phone and ordered a bunch of fried skewers and barbecue. She was in such a good mood today that she even ordered beer. Then, she sat down again and continued to talk about Zhou Liu happily.

After Li Ci listened carefully, he suggested, “Why don’t we do this? Tomorrow is Saturday, so he definitely won’t be working. Ask him out for a meal.”

Li Ran was a little hesitant. “I wanted to ask him out, but he kept rejecting me. He said that it was just a small matter and that there was no need to treat him to a meal.”

Li Ci continued to coax her. “That depends on your ability. Have you ever lost when it came to chatting? If you can’t ask him out, I’ll look down on you.” How could Li Ran withstand the provocation? She immediately said confidently, “Just wait and see.. I’ll make an appointment with him tomorrow night!”
