Her plan to live the life of freedom that she always wanted needed a lot of resources . It wouldn't hurt to earn extra cash by doing some freelance work .
Besides, Jin Liwei was filthy rich . A million was just pocket change for someone like him .
Ding!
Jin Liwei: "Deal . "
Oh? He agreed quickly . Fine, then . She switched to her new, more secure e-mail account and typed .
Long Xiulan: "This e-mail address is more secure . Pay up first . "
She sent him her bank account information .
She moved to another computer and worked on creating a new, personalized music software which would make it easier for her to compose music .
After a couple of minutes, her phone received a message . It was from the bank informing her that her account received a 5 million RMB deposit .
She raised an eyebrow . The man acted fast . She might as well work since he already paid her .
Long Xiulan: "I'll send the information about the companies within 3 days . "
Jin Liwei: "OK . But if 3 days pass and you have nothing or what you send me is useless, I want a full refund plus interest . 10 million RMB . "
Thief!
Long Xiulan: "Fine . Don't bother me in the meantime . "
Jin Liwei: "I'll be waiting, Long Xiulan . "
Arrogant bastard .
She went to work immediately by turning on all of the computers in the room . With all of them working at the same time, it was an impressive sight . In truth, she only needed a night to gather all information about the five companies, from what was made public to the most classified ones .
As long as there was an electronic trace, she would be able to find anything no matter how obscure . But a mountain of disorganized information was probably not what the arrogant man wanted . Thus, she told him to wait three days .
For the initial step, she let the software she created herself to automatically gather information . She didn't even need to oversee the process personally .
Looking at the time, she left the room for dinner, letting the computers complete the tasks she inputted by themselves .
She ate a Filipino-style dinner with Dom . The cook finally relented after Dom's constant bugging . He whined about how he felt homesick and wanted to eat some Filipino food . The cook told Dom that if he wanted to eat Filipino food, then he could go cook for himself .
So Dom tried cooking and it was a disaster . He had no culinary skills whatsoever . If the cook was any second later, Dom would've burned down the entire penthouse . The cook promptly kicked him out of the kitchen . Dom redoubled his whining afterwards . The cook couldn't take it anymore, so she especially researched and practiced cooking some Filipino dishes . Dom was, of course, ecstatic .
After a hearty dinner, Iris enjoyed a couple cups of hot white pearls tea [1] .
Afterwards, she composed music at her recording studio, until her phone received a notification informing her that some of the computers already finished the tasks they were assigned .
For the next two days, she spent almost all her time inside the computer room, only going out to eat, exercise a bit, and answer nature's call . After a lot of hacking and verifying accuracy, she translated the information into Chinese and organized everything into shockingly detailed and comprehensive reports about the five companies .
Information that even the companies themselves may not know were included in the reports . What Iris was about to send Jin Liwei were something that would completely destroy the companies, if given in the wrong hands .
She also included a recommendation for two of the companies, giving them a "clean" rating . As for the other three, well, if Jin Liwei had any decent judgment, he would not have any dealings with them .
53 hours since she started working on this job, she finally sent an e-mail to the arrogant man .
Long Xiulan: "See attached files . Send 590,025 . 73 RMB to my account for the expenses accrued while gathering information . See attached invoice . The original 5 million payment was only for the final reports . "
She looked at the time . It was almost midnight . She stretched, yawning . Then she walked around the room, shutting down the computers one by one .
Her phone sounded . She walked over and checked .
It was a message from the bank notifying her that 590,025 . 73 RMB was deposited to her account .
Iris smiled . Turning off all the lights, she left the computer room, making sure that the door was closed, before heading to her bedroom to sleep .
