“Ah-ha----”
Gao Liyuan took a sip of her soda, the bubbles bursting in her mouth, making her let out a comfortable sigh.
She looked at the string of numbers displayed on her monitor.
“Finally got the number.”
Yang Jingying’s private phone number wasn’t something just anyone could get.
Even within the circle, the number that was publicly available was her secretary’s.
The secretary would handle most calls.
Only the most important ones would be forwarded to Yang Jingying personally.
But Gao Liyuan had skipped that step entirely.
Yang Group.
Another day of hard work.
From morning till night.
Non-stop.
In the general manager’s office.
Yang Jingying was slumped in her executive chair, exhausted.
That volcanic mud skincare product had gone viral!
No advertising was needed.
Short videos, major online media outlets, and even some million-follower beauty bloggers were voluntarily promoting it.
All they needed was to be given samples to try.
Everyone loves beauty.
The volcanic mud skincare had hit the mark!
Buzz-------
Her phone on the desk vibrated.
Yang Jingying had just closed her eyes, but they snapped open again, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.
She reached for the phone.
“Unknown caller?”
She pressed the answer button with a hint of suspicion.
“Hello?”
A woman’s voice came through.
“Is this Ms. Yang Jingying?”
“Yes, it’s me.”
“Ahem…” Gao Liyuan cleared her throat, then tentatively said, “We’re living in a novel world, where the main character is Lin Fan, and there are female leads and such. You’re one of them.”
She was testing the waters!
If Yang Jingying called her crazy, Gao Liyuan would be over the moon!
That would mean her guess was wrong.
Yang Jingying couldn’t hear Xu Mo’s inner thoughts.
And knew nothing about it.
Any normal person would curse her out.
Or just hang up immediately.
If she hesitated, that would also say something.
Gao Liyuan’s heart was pounding.
She was waiting for something.
Yang Jingying didn’t disappoint.
She replied almost instantly.
“Who are you? When did you come into contact with Xu Mo?”
An ordinary person couldn’t know this!
Only the female leads could hear Xu Mo’s inner thoughts.
And communicate with him.
Others couldn’t hear it.
And shouldn’t know about it.
This voice was so unfamiliar.
The only possibility—the other person was also a female lead in this world!
Gao Liyuan let out a bitter laugh, as if something was stuck in her throat.
She wasn’t the only one!!
“I just came into contact with him recently. You seem to know a lot about our world. Care to share?”
Yang Jingying: ?????
So she’s a newbie!!!
But why should I tell you?
Among the veterans, Li Jiaxin is the more honest one.
Xu Shi doesn’t count, since she’s his sister.
Jing Xuan doesn’t count either.
She’s his sister-in-law.
The rest?
They’re all scheming bitches!
Especially that newcomer Lin An’an.
At the birthday party, she kept saying she wasn’t interested.
But then she ended up filming with Xu Mo, and suddenly she was all in.
Latecomers always steal the show.
Now there’s another wildcard.
Yang Jingying felt it was absolutely necessary to nip this in the bud.
“I don’t know much either. But first, how did you get my private number?”
“It seems like you come from a good family.”
Know your enemy, know yourself, and you’ll never lose a battle.
Right now, Yang Jingying was in the open, while the other woman was in the shadows.
If she was after Xu Mo’s body.
Or had some leverage over him.
With Xu Mo’s soft and kind personality.
He’d be at her mercy!
Gao Liyuan: “Oh, that? It was pretty simple. I hacked into your office computer first, then accessed your phone through the chat app you logged into, and then hacked your phone.”
Yang Jingying couldn’t stay seated. Her expression tightened as she quickly opened her computer to check.
She ran every antivirus program she had.
Her computer contained crucial business strategies!
Hearing the frantic clicking on the other end, Gao Liyuan chuckled and reassured her, “Don’t worry, every profession has its code of conduct. I’m no exception. I only wanted your phone number. I didn’t look at anything else.”
Hearing this, Yang Jingying’s anxiety eased a little.
But not entirely.
Who knew if Gao Liyuan was telling the truth?
This female lead was a hacker!
Antivirus software didn’t work on her.
The defense systems they’d paid to have built.
Showed no signs of being breached.
God only knew how Gao Liyuan managed to hack into her computer without leaving a trace.
Her skills must be top-notch!
Yang Jingying took a moment to compose herself, then snorted coldly.
“It better be true!”
In the age of information networks.
Someone with top-tier hacking skills.
If they didn’t restrain themselves.
Could truly do whatever they wanted!
As long as they weren’t caught.
They could infiltrate home security cameras.
Car dashcams.
And all sorts of electronic surveillance systems.
It was like stripping someone naked.
No privacy left.
If you caught them, fine.
If not.
They’d roam free.
And the victims wouldn’t even know it had happened.
“You’ve been in contact with Xu Mo longer than I have. Are you really saying you don’t know anything?”
Gao Liyuan wasn’t ready to give up yet.
She pressed on with the topic.
If she didn’t play fair.
And just looked through the chat apps on Yang Jingying’s phone.
She wouldn’t need Yang Jingying to explain anything.
She could get all the information she wanted.
Should she ally with her or crush her?
Yang Jingying hesitated for a moment.
Then decided to ally.
A super hacker.
Could be incredibly useful.
Zhou Qiaoqiao had been acting suspiciously lately.
No one knew what she was up to.
The unknown was the most terrifying.
Yang Jingying couldn’t allow.
Zhou Qiaoqiao to slip out of her control!
Otherwise.
Xu Mo might really end up as her prize.
“I know a few things.”
Gao Liyuan: ????
Meow meow meow??
Wasn’t the saying, “Chinese don’t lie to Chinese”?
Didn’t you just say you didn’t know?
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
Why did you change your tune?
What are you after?
Gao Liyuan swallowed hard. “Alright, tell me what you know.”
Interacting with Xu Mo.
Only gave her limited information.
And if she kept probing like this every day.
He’d definitely get suspicious.
So the best way.
Was to learn from the veterans!
That way, she could fill in the world’s lore faster.
Moshi moshi, and also, let’s go, let’s go!!!!!!
First, wishing you all a happy winter break~~~~

u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
