Chapter 46
In this way, Rebecca could maintain a sterling reputation while achieving her goals.
With a CIS task in her queue, Anthea’s first move after clocking out and getting home was to fire up her laptop and log into GlobalGigaNet.
With her hunkering down in front of the screen, her fingers danced across the keyboard. The room filled with the staccato rhythm of keystrokes while the computer’s glow cast a cool sheen on her face..
In a moment, she pressed the Enter key and the screen flashed with the triumphant message, “Setup successful!”
Mission accomplished!
After double–checking her work, Anthea logged onto GlobalGigaNet and messaged the client, “All set here. Shall I send it over?”
Daniel, who just happened to be online, furrowed his brow upon receiving her message.
A newbie nailing a CIS project? It seemed far–fetched. Not taking it too seriously, he casually replied, “Send it on over.”
Once Anthea transferred the file and Daniel glimpsed the content on his screen, he was utterly gobsmacked, his hands trembling with excitement.
Holy smokes! Was this for real? An ace in the hole?
Swallowing hard, Daniel slapped himself.
Ouch! That hurt! So, no dream, then?
Just then, another message popped up from Anthea, “If everything looks good, please mark the task as complete.”
The job wasn’t officially done until the client gave the green light, which triggered the payout and points for the tasker.
Without hesitation, Daniel confirmed the task and gushed in his next message, “You’re a genius!”
He had stumbled upon a true maestro!
Without waiting for Anthea to reply, Daniel then sent a message, “Master, please add me to your contact!”
Anthea here was stunned. Hadn’t they been in each other’s contact since the last time?
She checked and found there was no one in her friend list.
Maybe it was not successful last time?
Anthea didn’t care about these details and clicked to agree to Daniel’s friend’s invitation.
Daniel rejected Anthea as a newbie and didn’t deserve to stay in his friend list, so he deleted
her.
Daniel felt the pain in his face for the first time.
“What is your name?” Daniel then typed, “Is it convenient to have a call online?”
“Just call me Phoenix. It is inconvenient to call me now.”
Before he could say more, Anthea was already offline.
Majesty had its cool! Daniel thought.
Meanwhile, Anthea had hardly logged off when the site blasted a global announcement.
*Congratulations to user Phoenix–YC for nailing an ultra–rare mission with extreme difficulty!”
A subdued announcement electrified the tech community.
“Holy cow! This a real genius!”
“Some folks laughed at the newbie yesterday. How’s that pie taste now?”
“I bow to the master!”
Before long, many users donned the Phoenix surname to show their respect.
“From today on, we’re the Phoenix family!”
“From now on, Phoenix–YC is our boss!”
After logging off, Anthea’s phone chimed with a payment notification. 8 million dollars solidified her financial peace of mind.
On the flip side, Daniel, clutching his laptop like a lifeline, bolted to Sherman’s room, shouting. “Sherman! You gotta see this!”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
