Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 712: Benevolence and Righteousness

By now, Lu Shaohua was certain that Liang Xiaoli was a commercial spy. However, Lu Shaohua was not very experienced in handling these matters, so he called Chen Guobang to deal with Liang Xiaoli.

As for the others, Lu Shaohua believed that the security department of the group could handle them, and they should have the ability to do so. In fact, the security department of the group was actually from Phoenix Security Company, and they were all Chen Guobang's subordinates. If Lu Shaohua had not wanted to find out which organization stole the core code of Phoenix Operating System, Lu Shaohua would have handed Liang Xiaoxian over to the security department of the group.

However, Lu Shaohua knew that in order to prevent future troubles, he had to call Chen Guobang to find out the organization behind Liang Xiao and wipe out that organization in one fell swoop, which would make people feel much more at ease.

But the matter is far from over. Liang Xiaoli handed it over to Chen Guobang to deal with. As for the staff who leaked the password of the computer room, Lu Shaohua will hold them accountable. As for who leaked the secret, the group's security department will need to investigate.

So, after instructing Li Shangkui to call Chen Guobang over, Lu Shaohua asked the general manager of Phoenix Software to call the security department to check which of the ten engineers was close to Liang Xiaoli, and then interrogate her.

As a commercial spy, Liang Xiaoli has a beautiful face and a tall figure. From these two points, we can infer that she obtained the password through seduction.

There are regulations in the Phoenix Group's work system and employee contracts that all employees, whether senior or junior, who enter the Phoenix Group must abide by confidentiality regulations. Once a secret is leaked, the offender will be fired at the very least, and handed over to the public security organs at the most serious.

There are only two situations that can lead to leaks in the Phoenix Group. One is violating the law unknowingly, and the other is being a spy and intentionally violating the law. Lu Shaohua also believes that no one is stupid enough to violate the law and the regulations of the Phoenix Group for no reason. If someone violates them, then there is only one possibility left, which is an unintentional leak.

Considering Liang Xiaoli's pretty face and tall figure, it was not difficult for Lu Shaohua to guess that Liang Xiaoli was seducing people to get the password to unlock the door from eleven people who knew the password. If Lu Shaohua was more careful, it would not be difficult to find out who leaked the secret.

Indeed, the group's security department locked on the target in less than half an hour, and it was a young college graduate who had just joined the Phoenix Group. His name was He Xiaohui. He was dating Liang Xiaoli, but he didn't know that he was being used by Liang Xiaoli.

After some interrogation, He Xiaohui admitted that he had leaked the password. The evidence was conclusive and there was no need for further investigation.

Before this, Lu Shaohua had suspected the general manager of Phoenix Software because he also knew the password of the computer room door, but Lu Shaohua later overturned his suspicion. After all, a person who could become the general manager, not to mention that he had money, even if he did, it would be impossible for him to steal the core code of the Phoenix operating system.

The reason is very simple. Every once in a while, Chen Guobang will send people to investigate all the senior executives of the Phoenix Group to verify whether they have been bribed or used by the spy organization. If there is any suspicion, Chen Guobang will immediately notify Chen Xiaoxian and then expel her from the Phoenix Group.

In other words, every senior executive of Phoenix Group has a clean background, and it is impossible for any information to be leaked, especially at Phoenix Software Company, because Lu Shaohua once instructed Chen Guobang to always pay attention to the situation of all senior managers here.

However, there is no such thing as a perfect plan. Lu Shaohua only told Chen Guobang to keep an eye on the situation of senior executives, but forgot to ask Chen Guobang to keep an eye on the situation of all personnel involved in the development of the core code of the Phoenix operating system, which led to a vulnerability like today.

No one is perfect, even tigers fall asleep sometimes. No matter how smart Lu Shaohua is, there will always be times when he is careless. The only thing he can do is plug this loophole, let Chen Guobang come and take the person away, and then conduct further investigation.

Time passed quickly. In less than forty minutes, Chen Guobang came with two people and went straight into the general manager's office. He glanced at Lu Shaohua with a question mark on his face and his eyes were asking questions to Lu Shaohua.

There was no way. When Li Shangkui called Chen Guobang, he only told him that there was something going on and asked him to send someone over. He did not tell Li Shangkui what it was about. This made Chen Guobang unaware of what was going on. When he came in and saw this situation, he naturally had to ask Lu Shaohua.

Lu Shaohua did not hide anything and told Chen Guobang about how he discovered Liang Xiaoli and then searched the USB drive and confirmed that the text document inside was the operating system, and then expressed his opinion.

"It's impossible for a commercial spy to be without an organization. Even if it is without an organization, there will always be a contact person. And now it has come to our territory to steal the core code of the operating system. I think it is necessary to investigate it thoroughly." Lu Shaohua said with a strong murderous intent.

How could Lu Shaohua not be angry? If he hadn't visited the group today, Liang Xiaoli might have succeeded, and the loss of Phoenix Operating System would have been extremely heavy, and by then, the reputation of Phoenix Group might even be in jeopardy.

Chen Guobang seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter. He didn't say much at the moment. He nodded solemnly, then waved his hand and asked someone to take Liang Xiaoli from He Qiang. Then he said to Lu Shaohua, "I will take my people back first, and call you when I get the result."

"Okay." Lu Shaohua nodded and agreed.

Chen Guobang left, taking Liang Xiaoli with him and returning to the Phoenix Base.

Lu Shaohua knew very well that Liang Xiaoli had fallen into the hands of Chen Guobang, and her ending would be miserable no matter what. If she confessed honestly, she might suffer less, but if she did not, she would definitely suffer physical pain.

But those are not Lu Shaohua's business. Lu Shaohua doesn't care about Liang Xiaoli. What Lu Shaohua cares about now is to deal with this matter satisfactorily. It is impossible for He Xiaohui to stay in Phoenix Group.

"That He Xiaohui should be expelled from Phoenix Group." Lu Shaohua waved his hand and gave the order decisively.

"Yes." The general manager did not dare to say more, and nodded solemnly. After a moment's silence, he said, "Chairman, He Xiaohui's behavior has violated the law..."

The general manager paused halfway through his words, and his meaning was very clear. He was asking Lu Shaohua for his opinion and whether he wanted to transfer He Xiaohui to the public security organs for legal punishment.

It's not that Lu Shaohua didn't think about killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, but everyone who participated in the development of the core code of the Phoenix operating system is a hero. If Lu Shaohua wanted to send He Xiaohui to the public security organs, the result would be chilling.

What’s more important is that Lu Shaohua is not a cold-blooded animal. From a moral standpoint, Lu Shaohua cannot do this. He has gotten over that hurdle in his heart, so Lu Shaohua finally gave up.

Forget it, Lu Shaohua said. "Forget it, just fire him, pay his salary, and give him a little bonus."

Lu Shaohua chose benevolence and righteousness, so he will be benevolent and righteous to the end. He will not hold He Xiaohui responsible, and will give him a bonus. This can be considered a complete conclusion.

Of course, if He Xiaohui leaked the information intentionally, Lu Shaohua would definitely not show mercy. If the judicial authorities could not punish him, then Lu Shaohua would use his own methods to deal with him and make him disappear quietly. It would only take Lu Shaohua a word to do it.

"Okay, I'll do it right away." The general manager nodded again.

After he finished speaking, the general manager of Phoenix Software went to make a phone call. He first called the group's security department to convey Lu Shaohua's intention. Then he called Lu Xiaoxian's office to tell her what happened there and Lu Shaohua's opinions on how to deal with it. Afterwards, he called the finance department and asked them to calculate He Xiaohui's salary and give him some bonus, thus ending He Xiaohui's work journey at Phoenix Group.

Originally, this matter was to be handled personally by the boss Lu Shaohua, and there was no need to consult Lu Xiaoxian. But after all, Lu Xiaoxian was the executive president of Phoenix Group. When something like this happened, it was necessary to ask for instructions. More importantly, if money was to be transferred from the Finance Department, Lu Xiaoxian's consent had to be obtained.

After a long detour, the matter was finally settled. The general manager of Phoenix Software came to Lu Shaohua again, looking a little embarrassed. After a long pause, he said, "Chairman, I was negligent in this matter..."

"Okay, no need to say more." Lu Shaohua interrupted him before he finished speaking, and then added, "Just be more careful next time. Also, in the computer room, there should be one person on duty there. If there is no need to work there, cut off the power so that the computer cannot be turned on. This will prevent many things from happening."

Just now, Lu Shaohua had already found out that although it was working hours, there was no one in the computer room, which gave Liang Xiaoli an opportunity to take advantage of the loophole.

The general manager of Phoenix Software was overjoyed to learn that Lu Shaohua would not hold him responsible for the mistake, but at this time, he did not dare to show his joy. Instead, he thought for a while and said, "Chairman, the core code of our Phoenix operating system is shared with the military's operating system. Now that something like this has happened, should we talk to the military? Maybe there is something behind it."

This matter dates back to a few years ago. At that time, when the Phoenix operating system had not yet been developed, Lu Shaohua said that he wanted to cooperate with the military and asked the military to send people to help. The reward given was to use the Phoenix operating system to develop a military operating system.

Whether it is for civilian or military use, the core codes involved always have some similarities. If this core code leak is aimed at the military, then things may be serious.

Lu Shaohua was also shocked. It would have been fine if he didn't know, but now that he knew, Lu Shaohua had to consider it.
