“Mr. Zhuang, we are glad to have you join our team.” The eldest general bent down and expressed his sincere welcome to Zhuang Li.
“Mr. Zhuang, you are welcome to join us.”
“Hello Mr. Zhuang, I will happily cooperate with you in the future.”
“Mr. Zhuang, it is my honor to be your assistant!”
“Mr. Zhuang, welcome…”
All the big guys stepped forward to shake hands with Zhuang Li. They shook their hands very much and their fingers were very strong. They clearly expressed their acceptance and approval with their body movements.
Le Zhengming was the last in line to shake hands. He waited for more than ten seconds before letting go and asked seriously: “What should we do in the future?”
“Since I am the chief network security officer of this team, everyone must obey my arrangements and no one can operate in violation of regulations. I can guarantee that the network I built will be impeccable, but its only loopholes are you. The user.” Zhuang Li tapped the table with a ballpoint pen and ordered: “Take out your notebooks and carefully record every rule of mine.
“First, you are not allowed to lend your smart devices to anyone; second, only certified devices are allowed to connect to the intranet; third, all security mechanisms must be turned on when operating smart devices; fourth, if you know there are things you cannot say, please never write them in emails or text messages; fifthly, please do not open any emails or links from unknown sources in a non-scanning environment…”
Zhuang Li talked about hundreds of rules eloquently and waited until dawn before waving his hands and saying: “Okay, today’s security meeting will end here. When the new equipment is purchased and passed the test, I will start building our intranet. Everyone let’s all disperse.”
All the bosses stood up subconsciously and performed a military salute.
From this small detail, you could see that Zhuang Li had become the core of the team.
Le Zhengming personally sent the person back next door. Before saying goodbye, he said hoarsely: “I also want to issue a few rules for you. Will you abide by them?”
When he said this, his expression was serious, his eyes were clear, but his ears slowly turned red.
Zhuang Li leaned against the door, raised his thin eyebrows, curled his thin lips, and smiled with interest.
Le Zhengming’s ears turned redder, but he didn’t notice it at all. His handsome face became more serious, and he said seriously: “You are not allowed to get too close to the road in the future; you are not allowed to go out alone, you must bring a bodyguard; you are not allowed to….”
He was silent for a moment, and when he spoke again, his voice became extremely hoarse, “You are not allowed to run around outside in pajamas, and you are not allowed to wear no underwear.”
After saying this, he strode away, leaving Zhuang Li holding on to the doorframe and laughing until tears welled up in his eyes.
“Why didn’t I find that he was so cute in my previous life?” Zhuang Li shook his head and murmured, having a vague but sweet dream after falling asleep. For the first time in his life, he laughed in his dream.
….
At the same time, Zhu Jianrui was falling into an even more difficult situation.
In just one night, most of MIK’s popular artists were ruined. Those artists who were not exposed were now clamoring to terminate their contracts. After the news spread, netizens not only did not feel that they were adding insult to injury, but instead applauded and expressed strong support. Just because the hacker also exposed dozens of MIK’s contracts, their harsh conditions were comparable to the ancient sales contracts, which was breathtaking.
Fans were heartbroken when they saw these contracts and called MIK a garbage company that should have gone bankrupt long ago. Passers-by couldn’t stand it either, and they criticized it in the comments section.
Other entertainment companies immediately released their contracts and extended olive branches to certain potential artists, and these artists also made it clear that they would not continue to work for their old clubs.
MIK’s stock price fell to the limit not long after it opened. In less than a day, all its bright stars dispersed, leaving only a mess.
The so-called wall falls and everyone pushes it down, was meant for this situation.
People could be recruited again after they left. This was not Zhu Jianrui’s biggest worry. What really crushed him were the movies and TV series that were put online by hackers for anyone to download.
Most movies and TV series had already been sold and sharing contracts had been signed with theaters and broadcast platforms. Now that the films had been leaked in advance, theaters and broadcast platforms that had suffered huge losses were preparing to demand huge amount of damages from MIK.
Those unsold movies and TV series also cost a lot of production costs. One of the blockbusters had an initial investment of up to 500 million, and another 180 million for subsequent special effects.
The total losses were as high as more than 3 billion, while the total start-up capital Zhu Jianrui received from Gong Xuanqi was only 50 million. What could he use to compensate?
Would the Gong family be willing to pay up to 3 billion in compensation for such a disreputable little company?
No they would not! Zhu Jianrui clearly foresaw the Gong family’s reaction, and anything worthless would only be discarded by them.
Apart from filing for bankruptcy protection, he had no way to escape from this predicament.
Why? He grabbed his hair and thought to himself with red eyes: Why did I end up like this?
At this moment, Zhu Miaomiao ran into the office in panic, shook his shoulders and asked repeatedly: “Is everything said on the Internet true? Are you bankrupt? Are you really bankrupt?”
“It’s true.” Zhu Jianrui lowered his head, not daring to look into his mother’s eyes.
“It’s Zhuang Li who’s harming you!” Zhu Miaomiao hurriedly took out her mobile phone and said incoherently: “He’s cursing you! Let’s find a more powerful Taoist priest to deal with him! Look, look, he knows you will go bankrupt!” She knew nothing about technology and could only attribute this inevitable connection to the work of ghosts and gods.
Zhu Jianrui looked at the screen of the mobile phone, his red eyes bursting with fierce anger.
[Your son’s glorious life will end before sunset, so please be patient.] These were Zhuang Li’s original words.
In reality, Zhu Jianrui’s company was indeed hacked by hackers before sunset and entered bankruptcy, exactly as Zhuang Li predicted. The defense system built by Zhu Jianrui was originally not that fragile and could withstand attacks from all hackers below him.
It was Zhuang Li, it must be Zhuang Li! Only he could find zero-day vulnerabilities so quickly and launch zero-day attacks!
His hacking skills were the strongest, and only he could defeat him so easily!
Zhu Jianrui, who gradually understood, grabbed his mother’s cell phone, quickly pressed 110, and shouted: “I want to call the police! I want Zhuang Li to go to jail for the rest of his life!”
As a hacker who lurked in the abyss of crime and could use all technical means to cause a fatal blow to a person or even a large company, when he was attacked by a network, he could only pin his hopes on the police to punish the culprit. This was a great irony and insult to Zhu Jianrui, who prided himself on being a technological genius.
But he had no way to resist Zhuang Li. After experiencing yesterday’s battle, he already understood that he was by no means Zhuang Li’s opponent.
As the saying went, murderers will always be killed, and black people will one day be pressed to the ground and rubbed by more powerful hackers.
