Chapter 87: Chapter 86: J Is a Girl, Old Cat Shuts Down
Thomas Skin saw the message from Old Cat and was momentarily stunned, then immediately set to work having someone check the surveillance.
"CEO, we found it. Today, only one person without an appointment wanted to see you, but was stopped by the front desk."
The man spoke while pulling up the surveillance video of that moment.
Thomas Skin saw the girl in the video, his brows furrowed. Wasn’t J supposed to be a guy?
"Are you sure only this person came today?" Thomas Skin looked solemnly at the person next to him.
The man nodded respectfully, "Yes."
"Amplify the sound, let’s see what was said," Thomas Skin pulled a chair over and sat down, resting his chin on his interlocked hands, watching the video thoughtfully.
"Okay."
Then.
The whole surveillance room was filled with the front desk’s sarcastic remarks and Claire Green’s disdainful comments.
The man couldn’t help but glance at Thomas Skin when he heard Claire Green say "unworthy," curious about his reaction.
Thomas Skin let out a chuckle, he was one of the major forces in M Country, handsome and wealthy, how could he be unworthy?
He stood up, adjusted his clothes, and in a cold tone said, "Fire that front desk person, I don’t want to see her in M Country again."
Because of this fool, they lost the holographic patent for nothing.
The man nodded and swiftly went to give the order.
Thomas Skin returned to his office, recalling the video he just watched, and gave a playful smile.
"What did you say?" Old Cat looked at the person who called him repeatedly like it was life or death, utterly shocked. "How could J be a girl."
He had met J in person before; J was clearly a cool and handsome young guy.
Upon hearing this.
Thomas Skin raised an eyebrow, intrigued, "It is a fact, so tell me, how does it feel for your buddy to suddenly become a sister?"
"Screw you, I need to process this."
Old Cat lay back on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling, in a daze and questioning life.
How could J be a girl?
A girl who doesn’t seem older than her early twenties yet has hacker skills better than his, who would believe that?
Thomas Skin saw him like this and shook his head with a chuckle, "Alright, it doesn’t matter if it’s a man or a woman. What’s important now is the patent’s usage rights."
After speaking.
Old Cat sat up instantly, not pleased, "All you care about is the patent. Do you know how much of a stir it would cause if the news that J is a girl gets out?"
Not to mention the fact that Drake White always considered J his brother, even Bluebird would be ready for a transplant; this news erupting is like a volcanic explosion.
Who would have thought.
Thomas Skin shrugged, smiling faintly, "I’m a businessman. What I care about is making money; I don’t care if the partner is human or ghost."
Old Cat gave him a look of disdain and opened the door to leave.
No, he has to ask J in person.
...
At Brightsong’s side, Sebastian Winn was boredly playing with a pen on the desk, suddenly had a thought which made him sit up abruptly.
"Fatty, what’s your deal, looking for trouble?" John Sinclair gave a glance at Sebastian Winn whose desk moved due to his excessive movements, he said heavily.
Sebastian Winn also realized he seemed to have overreacted, awkwardly smiled and straightened the desk before slowly speaking.
"Claire went out, so won’t we miss tomorrow’s big show?"
John Sinclair and Isabella Xyler realized, yes, they would miss it.
"I was looking forward to seeing Claire’s actions then," Sebastian Winn looked regretful.
Seeing this, John Sinclair patted his head, smiling, "Calm down, this can be easily resolved."
Then.
John Sinclair scanned the room and said directly, "Harry, go to class 1 and say that the punishment will wait until Claire comes back."
"Okay," Harry Lewis grinned and dashed towards class 1.
At this moment, Rae Zander was in turmoil, constantly glancing at Olivia Song then looking away.
She couldn’t bring herself to hit Olivia Song, but if she didn’t, the Zander family would be in trouble again.
Just then, a cheerful voice echoed in class 1.
"Hey, John said Claire isn’t here now, your punishment will continue when she’s back."
As soon as these words fell.
Everyone in the class looked at Rae Zander, watching the drama unfold with unconcealed interest.
"Don’t bully me too much," Rae Zander clenched her fists, angrily said.
Harry Lewis sneered, "Don’t talk nonsense, who’s bullying you, wasn’t the punishment settled when you and Claire bet, don’t chicken out now!"
"You..." Rae Zander was so angry she couldn’t speak, only glaring at him.
"I delivered the message, you can take advantage of Claire’s absence to prepare and try it out."
Harry Lewis glanced at Olivia Song behind her, his meaning was clear.
Everyone in class 1 watched, couldn’t help but sigh, they’re truly under the same bad influence as the campus tyrant.
He was openly suggesting that Rae Zander practice a few times if she felt unsure.
Olivia Song’s eyes flashed deeply, her gaze lifted with tears brimming.
"Classmate, I don’t understand why you have to do this."
Harry Lewis instinctively stepped back, "What do you mean why, I’m just passing along a message, everyone saw, I didn’t say anything to her, why is she always trying to cry."
Saying that, he turned and ran, afraid she might actually start crying and cause trouble.
Olivia Song, caught up in her emotions, was suddenly stuck, never expecting a guy to be so oblivious.
And at this moment.
The ever-conflicting Gao Jie laughed mockingly, "That guy was right, Olivia, maybe you should see a doctor, crying so easily might be an eye problem."
"I didn’t," Olivia Song bit her lip, looking aggrieved.
The class withdrew their gazes, perhaps not believing what she said.
...
As soon as he left the company, Old Cat was eager to ask Claire Green for her location and rushed over.
Only to burst out with a curse the moment he saw her.
"Damn it, you really are a girl."
Claire Green rested a hand on the chair back, slightly raised her eyebrows, "Problem?"
She came this time not intending to present as male, she anticipated Old Cat’s visit.
"..." It’s a huge problem.
Old Cat covered his face, moaning, "Let me take a moment to process this."
To think that the people they considered brothers all along turned out to be a girl, it’s unreal.
The fact that Nether Lord spent several days with J and didn’t realize it, he must be missing a screw!
After a while.
Old Cat exhaled deeply and tentatively asked, "Are you underage?"
"Hmm, are you disappointed?" Claire Green smiled with interest.
Listening to this.
Old Cat waved his hand, looking at her with a forlorn expression, "Just suddenly feels like we are nothing compared to you."
"You’ve got a high awareness," Claire Green chuckled, "Not bad."
Having calmed down, Old Cat decided not to dwell on the matter and shifted topics.
"Let’s discuss patent rights!"
After speaking.
Claire Green supported her face, looking leisurely, with a lazy tone, "No discussion, two years is plenty."
Old Cat looked at her in disbelief.
Look at that, is she even speaking like a human?
Six billion exchanged for just a two-year usage right, and she says it’s plenty.
"Then cut the cost," since they couldn’t agree on time, he’d discuss the price.
Upon hearing this, Claire Green raised an eyebrow slightly, speaking leisurely, "You must be dreaming."
Judging by her expression, Old Cat suddenly realized that negotiating money with her was as futile as daydreaming, no doubt about it.
Before he could respond, he heard the girl’s smooth voice continue.
"This matter is non-negotiable, unless you don’t want to collaborate."
