Jin Liwei immediately understood what his baby girl's plan was. He nodded but stopped when he realized something. Then he frowned.

"Love, if these two pretend to be the system creators, then all the credit will go to them," he said.

"It's just credit, darling. I already have many under my belt," she said with a shrug, not really concerned about it. "Besides, this is for our own safety. I'll always prioritize our safety over getting recognition anytime."

Jin Liwei pulled his baby girl and hugged her. Of course, she melted into his arms and hugged him back. The shameless couple once again forgot that there were other people in the room with them.

Fortunately, Jin Liwei was too tired to do anything else. He just wanted this meeting to be over as soon as possible so that he could take his baby girl to the kitchen and make sure that she ate much-needed nutritious food. Only then would he have the peace of mind to finally sleep and rest his weary mind and body.

Iris also had similar thoughts as him. She wanted to finish this meeting quickly. His exhausted state was making her very worried.

Long story short, Gu Chang and Diao Yijue were assigned to pretend as the creators of Jin Corporation's new system which would replace the old "flawed" one (according to Iris). The new system would be virtually impenetrable by any hacker below Iris' own skill level. She was quite confident about that. In addition to this, she also made sure that it was different to Planet Monkey's system in many different ways to make it harder for people to suspect that the two systems were created by the same person.

Only a handful of hackers in the world had the ability to breach it. Iris hoped that they wouldn't take notice of Jin Corporation or its new system. She knew that whenever those old folks popped out, they always caused chaos all over the world. Well, it wasn't like she could condemn them because she was exactly like them.

Putting the thought of those old folks aside, Iris explained to Gu Chang and Diao Yijue that they needed to know everything about the new system inside and out. They needed to be believable in their claim as its creators.

"You'll need to come here regularly and learn the new system in my computer room. You can't take a copy of it home. Ketchup will track all of your movements and your learning progress even when I'm not here. You're free to make changes to the new system as you see fit, since you're more familiar than me of what kind of features Jin Corporation needs the most. But of course, I'll always be the original creator so you'll have to get my approval first for any changes you want to make. Only when I'm satisfied with the final version and when you've learned everything about the system like the back of your hand will I allow you to finally install it at Jin Corporation," Iris told them.

Diao Yijue: "Understood, Master!"

Gu Chang: "We'll do our best, Master! We won't disappoint you!"

Iris frowned and immediately shut them down.

"Who are you calling Master? I'm not interested in taking you in as my disciples. You can't even do anything against that Eagle guy and you dare dream to become my disciples? Defeat Eagle with your own abilities first. Then maybe—just maybe—I'll consider agreeing to be your master. For now, don't even think about it.

"But if you want, you can apply to become Ketchup's disciples instead. I've programmed her to have some of my hacking skills. She's definitely better than the two of you combined. And she'll only become better with time because she has a powerful self-learning function."

Gu Chang and Diao Yijue turned crimson. They knew that they were far below Drakon's level. Drakon was like a god while they were just mere ants in the hacking world. They never really expected her to accept them as disciples that easily. They were just hopeful, that was all.

But did she really have to refuse them in such a savage way? Her poison tongue was just too much for their delicate manly prides. Wuwuwu! Poor them!

And it wasn't just her barbed refusal. She also wanted her cat AI to become their master instead? They would have no face left to show their peers in the tech field if others discovered that the two of them were calling a digital white kitty as their master. What would others say?

"Meow? Does Gu Chang and Diao Yijue want to become Ketchup's disciples? But Ketchup is still a baby. I'm not interested in becoming your master. Ketchup prefers to play, learn new things, and make Mommy and Daddy love me even more! Meow~"

What was worse than being rejected by the great Drakon? It was being rejected by her cute but cheeky and also equally savage cat AI.

Both Gu Chang and Diao Yijue had never felt so small in their entire lives like they did now. Their status that they worked so hard to reach by climbing the ranks at Jin Corporation and all of their accomplishments until now didn't mean anything in the eyes of Drakon who was also their President's crazy woman. And apparently, the crazy couple's digital kitty baby didn't think much of them either.

Unfortunately for them, Iris had no time nor the interest in sparing their hurt feelings. The earlier the meeting finished, the sooner her darling could finally sleep. She quickly ironed out the details and drew out an agreement with Gu Chang and Diao Yijue. Ketchup recorded everything for future blackmail purposes—cough cough—for documentation and reference purposes.

While they were finalizing everything, Jin Liwei's phone started ringing. His ringtone indicated that it was a business call. He glanced at the display and directed the call to voicemail. His phone beeped—a text message. After a few seconds, it began ringing again. He rejected it. Beep, another text message. And then it rang again.

Busy with Gu Chang and Diao Yijue, Iris gestured for Jin Liwei to answer his phone. Maybe it was important, that was why the caller was so insistent.

Jin Liwei nodded and then went to a far corner of the computer room. He was very displeased at the unwelcome call and it was obvious in his colder than usual voice when he answered the call.

Back at the couches, Iris froze in the middle of speaking. She raised her hand to stop Gu Chang from opening his mouth to ask a question. With her great ears, she was able to hear a faint female voice talking to her darling on the phone.

"Ketchup."

"Meow~ Yes, Mommy?"

"Put your daddy's call on speaker."

"Okay, Mommy! Putting Daddy's call on speaker in 3…2…1—"

"President, please return to the company. I know that you're exhausted and haven't slept yet, but it's very important for us and to everyone at Jin Corporation to see our President-CEO present at such an unstable time like this. You can always sleep and shower in your office's bedroom, Big Brother Liwei—I mean, President Jin," a female voice spoke to Jin Liwei on the phone.

The voice was heard throughout the entire room.

Jin Liwei's eyes widened and looked at his baby girl upon realizing that the call was put on speakerphone. Seeing her dark and ugly expression, the corner of his mouth involuntary curved up into a faint smile.

"Oh, that sounds like Miss Young," Diao Yijue said.
