Chapter 221 - 221: I’m A Man Of Principle

He had thought Albert would persuade Sophia to give it up. After all, it was unfair to Sophia to shoot for free out of compassion. If she took this one, there might be more people who wanted to take advantage of her and invited her to shoot for free under the banner of public welfare.

However, Albert said nothing and asked him to… count flowers?!

What was the meaning of doing that?

Albert stopped a taxi. They got in the car and went to the airport.

In the evening, they arrived at Lands City, and Louie carried the bouquet all the way. He suddenly felt that Sophia and Albert, though far from each other, were in some ways strangely connected.

As soon as Sophia got home, she received a call from Aimee's brother. He sounded full of gratitude, "Thank you, Sophia! You don't know how important your help is to me. By the way, I'm Felix. I work at Haven TV. If you're available recently, could you come to Haven? I'll book tickets for you. It won't take long; two hours will be fine."

Sophia said, "Yeah. I'm available these days. As for the specific time, I'll tell you when I'm ready."

It took a few hours to go back and forth on a flight. So one day was enough for the shooting.

Felix said, "Good! I'll have a good preparation."

Sophia nodded, "Yeah."

The next day, Louie called and said the Tuncel Advertising Agency had informed him about shooting the ad. It was three days later. Sophia thought it would be good to have him as a companion, and the trip would not be boring. So she called Felix and said she would be there the day after tomorrow.

She refused Felix's kindness of booking tickets for her. Life was not easy for a young man who just graduated. Besides, she would go with Louie, so they would book tickets together.

But soon, she called Felix and postponed the shoot.

A few hours later, she got a call from an unknown number. An old voice sounded, "Hello, is this Sophia Green? I'm Andrew from the Academy of Sciences."

Sophia knew him. Andrew was the one in charge of the new energy project. He had a very high status in the chemical industry, a leading figure in the industry.

"Yes." Sophia said, "I have sent you an article."

"Yeah. I read it. It's very good, very thoughtful. I want to invite you to work on the new energy project. Would you like to do it with me?"

"Yeah, of course," Sophia answered at once.

"Then, in three days, all the staff of the project will have a meeting at the National Academy of Sciences, please don't miss it."

Sophia thought about it and called Felix to ask if he could change the time of the shooting. The meeting time of the new energy institute could not be changed. If there was a time conflict, she could only ask for leave.

Felix said yes without thinking about it. "Of course. I haven't arranged it yet. I'm very grateful for your help. You can come any day. As for the time… just tell me when you're available. By the way, if it's convenient for you, can you help publicize it on your microblog first?"

Sophia was guilty of the time change and agreed at once. "All right. I'll tweet right now."

Then she called Louie and told him that she couldn't go with him.

The new energy project was restarted, and Sophia was excited. She started the project years ago and spent a lot of time on it. She thought she would never see the project succeed, but she didn't expect to be able to continue her work. 

She took out her phone and was about to tweet when she saw a top message on her microblog. It was new, but there were already thousands of comments.

"I have to say, Sabrina is ugly." Sophia Green of Colin High School posted it.

Sophia saw Sabrina, a popular singer on the Internet. And she heard her songs very beautifully. But Sabrina's look was unique, not pretty.

But what was wrong with this message? She didn't post it. And it was a complete provocation.

The comments blew up. Sabrina's fans came to scold her. They talked a lot, and most were bestial words. 

For this, Sophia could understand. A message like this posted in her name would certainly irritate Sabrina's fans.

Her first thought was that her microblog was hacked. She only logged into the account on her phone. So, it seemed that there might be a malicious Trojan virus on the phone.

She was good at computing and knew a lot about various programs. Immediately, she connected her phone to the computer and started detecting. After a while, there was no trace of any virus.

With her ability, no virus couldn't be detected. Even if she couldn't clear it, she could at least find it out.

Another possibility occurred to her: the account was registered by Director Bull, who also had the password. Maybe... the problem was on his side.

She called Director Bull. When Director Bull answered the phone, he said happily, "Oh, Sophia! You haven't come to Colin for a long time. How are you doing at Glinton? Can you adapt to college life?"

"Yeah, very good… No, I mean, have you logged into my microblog account recently? It's hacked, and there is an inexplicably provocative tweet."

Director Bull was stunned for a moment. "I seem to have opened the blog page yesterday. The account is automatically logged in. I didn't post any messages. I would have told you if I had posted messages on your microblog. I am a man of principle."

"I see. I'd better change the password," said Sophia.

It seemed that someone hacked into Director Bull's computer and got the password of her microblog. Trojans were everywhere on the Internet, unable to prevent. Director Bull didn't know much about these things. It was not surprising that the password was compromised.

She changed her password, logged in again, deleted the provocative message, and posted a new message to apologize and explain the whole thing. In the message, she told the advertising issue.

"I'm sorry for the mess. I didn't expect my account to be hacked. I have great respect for Sabrina and would never say that about her. For the mess, I'm here to apologize to Sabrina. By the way, I am working with Haven TV to make a public service advertisement with the theme of caring for the disabled. I look forward to seeing it soon. Also, I hope that you can care about the disabled around you.. Your work is very important to them. Thank you!"
