Liang Ru was so relieved when he finally found Mei Lin that it was clear how happy he was. He had lost his usual confident swagger, which is something that a lot of aspiring idols do. Instead, he was full of frantic, almost desperate energy. He almost cornered her after a lecture at Shanghai University, his voice a quiet, worried torrent explaining how his Facebook account had been hacked. "Mei Lin, please," he begged, his eyes wide with real worry. "Everyone says you're the best and the only one who can fix this." That's why my whole career is on that account! Mei Lin was used to getting strange tech questions from her classmates, so she listened patiently. Her calm demeanor was very different from the way he was acting, which was very anxious. People on campus knew her as the go-to person for any digital problem. She earned this reputation by being quietly competent instead of showing off.
Mei Lin paused for a moment, her analytical mind already going through different possibilities. She asked a few clear, direct questions, and her eyes were sharp as she quickly understood the details of the breach. There was no fuss or drama; it was all done in a calm, planned way. She got back to her small, well-organized dorm room and sat down in front of her laptop. Her fingers, which were usually quick to take notes in class, now moved across the keyboard with a lot of focus. She knew the language well, and lines of code quickly scrolled across her screen. She carefully followed the hacker's digital trail, finding weaknesses and figuring out where they got in. It wasn't just about getting back in; it was also about figuring out how it happened so that it wouldn't happen again.
Liang Ru was shocked at how quickly Mei Lin broke through the defenses. With a few more quick commands, the familiar login screen appeared, welcoming them back. "Try now," she said, taking a step back. Liang Ru typed in his new password, his heart racing, and then he let out a gasp of pure relief. He was in. His pictures, his posts, and the carefully crafted image of himself as an idol are all safe. He looked at Mei Lin, completely amazed by how fast and skilled she was. "You really did it!" He yelled, "You're amazing!" and his relief quickly turned into deep gratitude. It was just another day at work for Mei Lin, and she was able to use her skills well. It was a lifeline for Liang Ru, and it showed that Mei Lin's reputation for being good with technology was not just hype; it was the truth.
