Chapter 1540 Will You Accept This Job
She shut her computer down hastily as her entire body trembled.
What was that? Why did it suddenly appear out of nowhere? Who could it be? Was it that hacker? Why did he show me that?
The usually calm queen mother was currently flustered. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead. If this is leaked out, my reputation will be destroyed!
Shaking profusely, she grabbed her phone and made a call. ‘‘Can you get me a hacker soon? It’s urgent.’‘
She tried hard to tamp her emotions down, but the person on the other end of the line could sense that something was wrong.
‘‘What’s wrong?’‘ the person asked, concern evident in his voice. There wasn’t time for them to chat, so the queen mother said hurriedly, ‘‘I’m fine. I need a hacker immediately. Can you find me one as soon as possible?’‘
I’ve built my reputation painstakingly for sixty years. I can’t let it get destroyed in the blink of an eye!
‘‘Don’t worry, I’ve asked around. I haven’t received any replies, though.’‘ The person sounded worried. ‘‘Why can’t you share your worries with me? What happened? Perhaps I can be of help.’‘
‘‘It’s fine. I can deal with that myself. All you have to do is get me a hacker.’‘ There was no way she would reveal her misdeeds to the person.
I can’t tell him about it. He mustn’t know about it.
With that said, she cut the line. Recalling the content she saw on her computer earlier, she took a deep breath and made another call.
‘‘Is Gaston still available for work?’‘ she asked earnestly after the call was connected.
Her computer had been hacked, and she wanted Gaston to upgrade her firewall so that the hacker couldn’t hack into her computer again. Most importantly, she wanted Gaston to negotiate with the hacker and buy the content so that the hacker wouldn’t send it to anyone else.
‘‘Uh, I’m not sure,’‘ Ollie answered. Previously, Gaston failed to block the hacker’s attack and even lost his own data in the process. He wasn’t sure if Gaston would accept the queen mother’s job this time.
‘‘Ask him about it. I’ll offer him the same pay as long as he can do it,’‘ the queen mother urged.
‘‘All right. Let me ask him.’‘
While the queen mother was his employer, Gaston was his senior. Thus, he would definitely side with Gaston.
The queen mother knew she couldn’t force Gaston against his own wishes despite her status.
Hence, she added, ‘‘Do your best to convince him to take up the task. If you succeed, I’ll double your annual salary.’‘
Hearing that, Ollie gaped in disbelief. No one would say no to money, so he promptly agreed. ‘‘I’ll do my best to convince him,’‘ he promised earnestly.
After the call ended, he contacted Gaston and told him about the queen mother’s request.
‘‘Gaston, will you accept the job?’‘ Ollie asked cautiously.
Despite asking that, he knew that Gaston would take up the job. The harder the challenge was, the more motivated Gaston would be.
Without hesitation, Gaston agreed readily as he wanted nothing more than to avenge himself.
With that, he got himself a new laptop with the most advanced firewall available. He couldn’t wait to see if the hacker could still bypass his new firewall.
Of course, he had to complete his mission first. He hacked into the queen mother’s computer and discovered the content that the hacker had sent to her earlier. At once, he stopped in his tracks.
