Hudson introduced Theo to everyone passionately.
Theo looked at Jack and smiled. “I know you. You used to be a high-level executive at Weresoft,” he said.
After the both of them shook hands, Theo turned over to look at Jasper.
Jasper grinned and extended his hand. “You’re the number one hacker in the country. I’ve admired you for a long time,” he said.
Theo was actually rather nervous. He was not accustomed to interacting with strangers in real life. Jasper’s confident demeanor, which radiated from his actions and behavior, made him feel particularly uneasy.
“Nice to… meet you! I don’t dare to claim the title of being the top hacker in the country. Hacking technology consists of extremely profound knowledge. No one would dare to say that they are the best of the best. I’m still learning.”
Theo’s words made everyone burst out into laughter.
A successful person must stand out in one way or another–this applied to any field out there. Take Theo as an example, who had an extremely normal appearance: He looked like any other average young man out there, and was not particularly good at socializing with strangers.
However, his reverence toward technology was enough to prove that he did indeed have the potential and ability to be the top hacker in the country.
Hudson and Jasper exchanged a glance. “Theo, I have previously told you that we would like you to join our company. You would be in charge of all aspects of network security. What do you think about that?” Hudson asked.
Theo chuckled in response. He said, “Hudson, you know very well that people like us are used to having all the freedom we want. I don’t have the intention of joining a company, so…”
Jasper laughed. “You’re extremely capable. Do you want to remain as a hacker for your entire life?” he asked.
Theo raised his head to look at Jasper. A look of distaste flashed across his face. Jasper’s choice of words made it seem like he was looking down upon hackers.
Jasper did not pay any heed to the expression on Theo’s face. He continued speaking, “You must know that as laws and regulations gradually improve, even the most highly-skilled hackers will start to experience growing restrictions on the Internet. It will be impossible for you to continue doing as you wish in such an unscrupulous manner.
“However, everything will be different if you join Terizone. With your skills, you can help Terizone build a protective firewall. During the process, you can also compete against hackers from everywhere around the world. The only thing that would be different is that you’re doing everything for a good cause.
“Don’t you want to rely on your skills to become someone respected and admired by those within the hacker industry?”
Theo’s expression changed. Jasper’s words had managed to speak to his heart.
“How do you find Terizone?” Jasper asked, suddenly changing the topic.
“It’s excellent,” Theo replied.
As one of the top hackers within the country, Theo had an even more precise and professional vision of the Internet compared to everyone else. He knew that Terizone had great potential right now.
KK, in particular, had attained massive control of the market.
It was truly the top online chatting software in the country.
“Terizone’s team of founders consists of individuals who are capable of dominating different fields. However, they currently lack a master that’s capable of handling cybersecurity issues. Join us. With you on the team, Terizone will soar to greater heights.”
Theo laughed at Jasper’s sincere words. “Since you guys are inviting me so enthusiastically, I can’t find any reason to reject this offer,” he said.
Jasper and Hudson looked at each other and burst out into laughter.
“However, I have a condition,” Theo suddenly announced.
“You can tell us anything,” Hudson said.
“I have two other friends. They’re currently in poor financial conditions and are in urgent need of a job. I would like to bring them into the company so that we can work together. After all, it would be difficult for me if I was to work alone. You can rest assured of their skills. They’re extremely competent,” Theo said.
Hudson chuckled. “Since you’ve recommended them, I’m sure their skills are impeccable. You can ask them to come over. I’ll have someone make the relevant arrangements so that you guys can start working as soon as possible,” he said.
Theo nodded. “Alright, it’s a deal,” he said excitedly.
“It’s a deal.”
With that, Hudson and Theo shook hands enthusiastically.
