After leaving the cafe, Yuan Shu immediately called Zhao Mian and asked her to meet her in Yuan An.
Zhao Mian had never heard Yuan Shu speak in such a serious tone, so she knew that something must have happened and rushed to Yuan An without another word.
“Madam, did something happen to the company?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYuan Shu was sitting at her desk while reading the company’s information.
This was also her first time in Yuan An. In order to avoid suspicion, she rarely mentioned Yuan An to Zhao Mian, let alone come here personally.
Yuan An was indeed a technological company. The entire company’s renovation had a technological feel from the outside to the inside. As soon as she arrived, she couldn’t help but speed up. It was very different from a slow-paced company like Yushu Buyi.
Yuan Shu was looking at the personnel information. After she handed the information to Zhao Mian, she asked, “Did you mention Yuan An when you met Li Ci recently?”
Zhao Mian thought about it carefully. Other than talking about the company’s development and dividends, Li Ci did seem to have mentioned Yuan An a few times, but Zhao Mian’s answers were always ambiguous.
After receiving Zhao Mian’s answer, Yuan Shu’s expression became solemn and she told Zhao Mian her guess.
“What we need to do now is to verify the information of the personnel as soon as possible and see if there are any spies planted by other companies,” Yuan Shu ordered.
Zhao Mian immediately understood and called two trustworthy people over to start the investigation. One of them had a master’s degree in computer science from a famous university in the country. He was also the foreign aid supervisor who had always been in charge of Yuan An’s technical department. He rarely appeared in the company and mainly worked in the Shi Corporation.
They spent a few hours until midnight before Zhao Mian and the other two finally finished checking. They heaved a long sigh of relief after busying the entire afternoon. Then, they couldn’t help but massage their stiff backs with fatigue.
After the investigation, there were problems with three technical departments. Zhao Mian couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat. She was personally in charge of all of Yuan An’s personnel recruitment. They were hired after careful investigation, so she didn’t expect there to be a problem.
Then, they focused on investigating the work logs of the three of them.
Just as they were checking, there was a sudden knock on the office door.
Yuan Shu and Zhao Mian looked at each other and saw confusion in each other’s eyes.
It was already midnight, and everyone in the company had already gotten off work. Other than the four of them and the bodyguards downstairs, the building was empty. Who would be knocking on the door at this time?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Please come in,” said Yuan Shu.
The person who opened the door was a tall man wearing heavy black glasses. He had a buzz cut and a plaid shirt. He looked to be in his twenties.
This man was also shocked to see the other three people in the office other than Zhao Mian. Clearly, he didn’t expect there to be so many people in the room.
Yuan Shu was too gorgeous and was sitting at the desk, so the man couldn’t help but size her up a few more times. He guessed that she was the boss of the company.
After the few people in the office stared at each other for a while, it was Zhao Mian who broke the silence. “Zhou Liu? Why haven’t you left yet?”
Zhou Liu was a new employee of the company’s technical department. He had been in the company for a month and had officially been promoted to a full-time employee three days ago.
Zhao Mian had a deep impression of him because he was very capable and could type code almost three times faster than others. A week ago, he had even upgraded the company’s firewall. The company’s ability to prevent hackers from attacking had at least doubled, and he had also fixed some of the loopholes in the company’s system.
Zhou Liu’s performance was better than the others who got hired at the same time. That was why the company made an exception and let him become a full-time employee in advance.
When Zhou Liu was called on by Zhao Mian, he suddenly realized that he was there for serious business and walked straight into the room.
He looked around the office and chose a coffee table far away from Yuan Shu. Then, he placed the computer bag in his hand on the coffee table and took out his laptop. After typing on the keyboard for a while, he said, “Secretary Zhao, I only realized that there was something abnormal about the company’s database when I updated the firewall previously, but I didn’t have the authority at that time. After I became an official employee, I’ve been monitoring this data and checking the computer room log..”
