Chapter 152 The Prodigy
Soon, the company’s shareholders gathered outside the lab as they all stared at Eugene, disagreeing with his choice of letting a child handle the crisis. Therefore, they all dissuaded him from going ahead. “President, maybe we should let Jacob Sully handle this. After all, he is a professional and the right person to do the job!”
“That’s right. If things go wrong, we’re going to suffer a huge loss!” In the face of everyone else who disagreed, Eugene responded with a darkened look as he shoved the technician away. “I told you to move. So, just do as I said.” As the technician was shoved away, he could only helplessly watch his hard work go down the drain. He wanted to speak but swallowed his words in the end. “President Nolan…”
Soon, North looked back at the shareholders who gathered together and took a glimpse at the technicians. Then, he walked up to the computer and stood instead of sitting in front of the screen because of his height. Meanwhile, everyone else who witnessed this felt dismayed and disappointed by Eugene’s bad call, doubting his decision to have a child look into a crisis. What can a kid do? That’s not how you pamper a child. Nevertheless, while the witnesses were complaining, North began jumping into action. With a complacent look on his face and a lollipop in his mouth, his little hands were seen typing on the keyboard pads with lightning speed as the monitor screen showed codes that kept changing. Needless to say, these were programming codes that were strangers to all laymen who were watching.
In that instant, all the shareholders were left with their eyes widened and mouths agape. Meanwhile, the technicians didn’t even have time to process the pain of letting their hard work go to waste before they realized the child only took less than a minute to catch up with the progress they had been making for an hour. Therefore, they were all dumbstruck and stunned by what they saw. How long did the kid say he needed? It looks like he is not bluffing, judging from his progress. Witnessing North’s impressive performance, the technicians couldn’t help but doubt their own abilities as they didn’t expect to be humiliated by a child in their area of expertise.
While time was ticking, the monitor screen lit up as soon as North hit the enter key, with the timer stopping at four minutes thirty-two seconds. “Great! The system is back online!” the secretary happily exclaimed, “And all my stuff is still here.” Soon, everyone else cheered in excitement. “It’s really back to normal! This is quicker than we expected!”
Nevertheless, North didn’t stop there but instead went on to make some necessary upgrades in the system. Then, he looked at Eugene and said, “I just installed a firewall in your system so hackers won’t access your system so easily.” At the sight of that, the shareholders all retreated without making any more noise while the technicians were rendered speechless. It was only after a long while that they finally asked, “Do you know who did this to us? Was it Wily Rabbit?”
The technician’s words put North in a trance as the child doubtfully looked at him. “What makes you think it’s Wily Rabbit?”
“Well, I just think he is pretty good,” the technician murmured.
North curled his lips upward and thought to himself, Why would Wily Rabbit hack your system as if he has nothing else better to do? Furthermore, my dad seems to be behaving well these two days. “Wily Rabbit is a lot better than this. If he had struck your system, you probably wouldn’t have had time to react!” Upon saying that, North shifted his eyes to Eugene and said, “Let’s go, shall we?”
Meanwhile, Eugene had only leaned on the table as he met North’s gaze. Then, he smiled with a pair of gentle eyes while ruffling the little boy’s hair. “Sure, let’s go.” After that, Eugene held his hand and left, leaving all the other employees awestruck and dumbfounded. “Oh gosh! This is unbelievable. That kid is a prodigy! An issue that took an hour for more than ten technicians to work on only took five minutes for a kid to settle.”
