The entire special department was stunned.
Damon, who was seated in front of the computer, even cried out with excitement, "Y! Oh my god, to think I have the opportunity to talk to Y in this lifetime of mine!"
Someone echoed him. "First, it was Q who invaded us today, now it's Y. What kind of sheer dumb luck is the special department having? My god, I feel like I can brag to everyone else in this line of work from now on! This is a big boss we're talking about here!"
The people next to them were stunned.
"But why is Y suddenly hacking into our system?"
"Yeah, and with such a big fanfare too. No one introduces themselves the moment they appear, right? Besides, judging from his tone, he doesn't have ill intentions."
Someone glanced at Ruth and made a guess.
"Could it be that Y has specially come over to explain on behalf of Ruth? Is he afraid that we won't believe her? There is actually really no need for him to do that..."
"It's also possible that Y is saying hi to us on account of Ruth, right? Also, judging from what he said, Y seems very friendly..."
"Can I quietly say something? Y feels more approachable than Q. Q is too cold and unapproachable-" "What's the point now? I've already heard everything you said. Besides, Ms. Smith is still here. What if she overhears and tells Q?"
While everyone was speculating, Johnson laughed again and said, "Seems like Mr. Y is a very polite man! I've also sent him an email before to invite him to join the special department, but he didn't pay me any attention. Come to think of it, Ruth gets more respect from him after all!"
"As expected, the relationship between Y and Ruth isn't a simple one after all!"
"If all this is true, then I suddenly have a bold guess here, and that is—Y likes Ruth!"
Nora:"??"
What the f*ck?
Was this something that could be tolerated?
The corners of her lips spasmed and she sneered, "That's not necessarily true."
"Even if it's not necessarily true, it's still Ruth who got Y here!" Johnson said, "Therefore, no matter how you look at it, it's all still Ruth's credit!"
He looked at Morris again. "You must consider one's personality when you recruit someone! Morris, this is not an era where an individual should be trying to play the hero. Teamwork is what matters the most! An approachable person like Ruth would definitely bring more pleasant surprises to the department!"
Johnson looked at Ruth and said, "Work hard, Ruth! You have a promising future!"
Ruth, who had been utterly stunned when Y appeared:
She stared at the computer screen blankly, feeling dumbfounded!
Why was Y here?
While she was still surprised, another few words appeared on the screen: "Apologies, I don't have a Messenger account, so I can only use this method to clarify some things with everyone."
No personal Messenger account...
When those four words appeared, Ruth felt as if a bomb had gone off in her mind!
However, the rest hadn't realized it yet. In particular, Damon was even typing a reply excitedly: "It's okay. What do you want to clarify?"
The others were also quietly marveling.
"Advanced hackers approach people in such peculiar ways..."
"Yeah! I suddenly find his actions so cool!"
"What do you mean 'so cool'? It's more like 'too cool', okay?"
"It's obvious at a glance that you guys are science and engineering majors. How uncultured! This is called 'the coolest ever'!"
While they were being silly, someone suddenly realized something. He said, "Why wouldn't he have a personal Messenger account, though? Isn't he friends with Ruth on Messenger?"
As soon as he said that, the entire IT department suddenly became dead silent.
In addition, almost as soon as he said that, another row of words appeared on the computer screen: "Just to clarify, I don't know any lady named Ruth. Of course, if the special department ever needs my help, Ms. Nora only has to say the word and I will do my absolute best."
The whole room fell dead silent again.
Surprised, everyone slowly turned to look at Ruth.
As if she had suddenly contracted some kind of contagious disease, the few people who had gathered around her silently moved away at once.
Ruth clenched her fists tightly.
She stared ahead of her in shock. Never would she have ever imagined that a master-level figure like Y would suddenly descend upon their department, and even hack into the IT department with great fanfare just to clarify something like that?!
How could this be?!
It was just like someone bragging outside that they knew a certain celebrity. Would the celebrity specially make a public social media post to clarify that they didn't know them?
How would a nobody like Ruth possibly attract the attention of someone as talented as Y?!
It must be Nora!
Y was the Hunt Corporation's consultant. In order to make herself look good again, Nora must have
approached Mr. Hunt and asked him to talk to Y, right?
As Ruth figured this out, she suddenly felt like she had accidentally messed with the wrong person!
She clenched her fists tightly. In the midst of her fury, Morris' low and serious voice rang out. "Ruth, please explain what on earth is going on. Do you or do you not know Y?"
Ruth couldn't help but stammer. She swallowed and suddenly said, "I, I... How are all of you so sure that this person is Y?"
Damon's jaw tensed up and he slowly said, "By his abilities. Do you think that any old hacker can hack into our IT department?"
Ruth:"!!"
