Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1279: connections that just wouldn't connect.

While all these side characters had shown glimpses of their chaotic lives, Penny's side of the story was different...

Penny crossed her arms and stared at the multiple monitors before her. People sat in their cubicles, their fingers typing nonstop on their keyboards.

"Isn't this a little too difficult?" she wondered, narrowing her eyes at the graph before her. "Make it easier."

"But Penny, if we do that, we won't know who's worthy of being recruited for this team," Yugi, who was standing beside her, cast her a knowing look. "Let's keep it like this."

Slowly, Penny snapped her gaze at him. "This is a code for the preliminary stage, Yugi. We're searching for someone who already has a solid foundation in this area, then we'll train them on how to be useful to the company. If we use this, we might as well not have hosted this contest in the first place."

"But I can crack it," Yugi blurted out, shrugging at her as she deadpanned. "And you could do it as well."

"Of course," she remarked, adding with finality, "But this is too hard. Change it."

"Fine." Yugi rocked his head, then snapped his fingers, facing the people in the department. "Hey, you heard the boss. Make this thing easier."

The employees glanced in his direction but didn't say a word. If anything, they simply continued working on their computers, which didn't surprise Yugi or Penny. This department was solely for cybersecurity. Aside from the other security services Prime Group offered, cybersecurity was their biggest product. Hence, Penny had been focusing on it since coming to Anteca.

"Anyway." Yugi cleared his throat, handing her a tablet. "Just in case you want to see something interesting."

"What is it?" She wondered as she slowly opened the tablet's cover. "Another rumor about my third brother?"

"Since when did I bother you about your brothers?" he replied. "I was watching the stocks last night before they closed, and again this morning. It's a little interesting."
