Chapter 281 Hello Mr Lu, I’m Eric
Linda subconsciously squeezed her hand when she heard that. It was a tricky request. There was no
way that they could ask Mr. Lu to come and meet this little child.

She could not bring herself to tell Lu Jinye the absurd request. Any person would be happy to see such a
cute little boy, but she had no right for such a request.
“Forget it. Go in and pretend that you’re the one who set up the firewall.”
Linda gritted her teeth and ushered the supervisor in.
The supervisor felt uneasy but he did not have other options.
He braced himself, walked towards Eric, and acknowledged, “It’s me.”
Eric raised his head and looked at the adult in front of him. There were no fears in his eyes, and he
spoke rather imposingly, “Come to the study room with me. I’d like to have a chat with you.”

“Okay.”
Having said that, Eric walked towards the study room, and the supervisor followed suit.
After entering the study room, Eric started speaking.
The door was closed, and Linda wandered outside the room restlessly. Wanting to know what was
happening inside, Linda tried to eavesdrop through the crack of the door.
But she could not hear anything.
In less than ten minutes, the supervisor was chased out, with a frustrated expression. He seemed to
have undergone a session of lecture.
“How did it go?”
Linda hurriedly stepped forward to ask. At the same time, Eric walked out of the room with an unhappy
face. “If your company wants to fool around, then I have nothing to say.”
He had a serious expression on his tiny face.
When the manager was in the room, he could not even answer the two questions Eric asked.
All Eric wanted was some technical information, one of which he could not solve at his level.
Eric wanted to hit the sack so he drove the people away. “Let’s call Mr. Lu. He’d not be happy if we can’t
settle this matter.”
Seeing how distressed Linda was, the manager muttered.
Linda frowned and looked at Eric. She gritted her teeth and thought that it was better to be scolded
rather than letting this child invade the company’s system again.
She picked up the phone and went out, explained the situation to Lu Jinye on the other end of the phone.
After explaining the situation, Linda kept apologizing to Lu Jinye, “Mr. Lu, I know I shouldn’t be
interrupting your meeting at this time, but it’s a difficult situation. I don’t know what else to do. I’m terribly
sorry.”
At last, Lu Jinye did not seem to show too much unwillingness. He said to Linda, “Pass the phone to
him.”
Linda did not mention that the invader was a boy and Lu Jinye usually liked to scout talent. It was just a
phone call so he had no objection.
Linda happily handed the phone to Eric after getting Lu Jinye’s affirmation, and said, “He’s the boss of
our company, Mr. Lu. He’s agreed to talk to you.”
Eric took over the phone calmly, but he felt butterflies in his stomach.
So Mr. Lu was indeed Lu Jinye. He did not expect Lu Jinye to be so brilliant!
It was not for nothing that aroused his interest as he wanted to learn more.
Eric took a deep breath and greeted, “Hello Mr. Lu, my name is Eric.”
Lu Jinye frowned. He had a serious look on his face. He did not expect the other person to speak in such
a tender tone and that made his brows wrinkled deeper.
He said to Eric, “Yes. This is Lu Jinye.”
Lu Jinye’s voice was deep. After just hearing Lu Jinye’s introduction, Eric’s heart started pounding
uncontrollably.
He unconsciously placed his hand on his chest and said to Lu Jinye, “Regarding the last firewall, I have a
few questions for you.”

Eric asked a series of questions. Every question was logical and sensible.
Basically, once Lu Jinye answered all his questions, not only would Eric be able to break the firewall
designed by Lu Jinye, but he could also invade all the other complicated systems.
After listening to his questions, Lu Jinye replied, “First of all, what you did was wrong, so I can’t explain
much to you. But I can choose a question to answer.”
Lu Jinye then answered the third question.
After answering the third question, Eric needed to tackle the first two questions in order to understand
the third question.
It was the link between the previous and the next question.
Even after knowing the answer to the third question, the fourth and fifth questions were also tricky.
That was how smart Lu Jinye was.
Eric had always thought that he was brilliant. From a young age, whenever he was dealing with adults
other than his father, he had always managed to gain the upper hand.
But Lu Jinye managed to outwit him today.
He was obviously a little unhappy. He argued, “Mr. Lu, thank you for answering the third question.
However, it doesn’t matter what I did was wrong, you are not my parent, so there’s no need to educate
me. I just want answers to my questions, and then we will be done here.”
“If you chose not to answer, I think I’d still take my time to study the system myself.”
What he meant by self-study was that he would invade Lu Jinye’s company’s firewall again.
Lu Jinye smiled faintly. From the little boy’s language proficiency, he could tell that he did not grow up in
this country, but his accent was on point, so either one of his parents must be from City A.
Lu Jinye replied, “Although I’m not your father, I think your father did not educate you well enough. It may
be his negligence.”
If Eric were to be Lu Jinye’s child, he would never let him do such things. Instead, he would let him invent
specific programs openly, take part in challenging competitions and be with other computer geniuses
rather than delving into an ineligible genius.
Because of this, he judged that Eric’s father was not someone like himself. He was either a computer
talent or an underground activist.
After hearing Lu Jinye’s words, Eric suddenly felt a little sad.
He had never thought that someone would tell him that. Something he had always believed in was
crushed by Lu Jinye.
He was sad.
He didn’t even want to talk any more, and he just hung up the phone.
After the call was ended, Linda was going to leave.
But Lu Jinye called again to tell Linda to leave his phone number to Eric, indicating that Eric could call
him anytime.
After that, Linda left.
