woman wearing irish linen shirt

At noon on Tuesday, I met with Chief Liang outside the company.

He looked like he hadn't slept all night. He was wearing a black company T-shirt. It was obviously a new emergency product that had just been taken out of the packaging bag. Even the creases on the sleeves were still obvious; Stubble, eyes are a little red.I am embarrassed to ask him if he has been working overtime all night. Liang Heng is obviously more excited at the moment, his thinking is active, and his speech is extremely fast, like an upstart who just remembered his bitcoin wallet key at the peak of 2019 regal.

Unfortunately, however, he didn't find anything related to Kevin.Instead, the clue pointed to the boss implicitly.

"Hey Brother Liang, let me ask you a question." I intentionally interrupted his rhythm and seized a gap in his speech. "It's like file recovery. Is it possible for it to fail?"

"Of course. Imagine that there is a piece of paper with words written on it, right?" Liang Heng gestured, "I pour a whole bottle of ink on it, and the words will disappear. If you repeatedly erase and cover If you use the same space many times, this thing will be lost. If you really lost something, you can’t get it back.”

I nodded seriously: "So that's the case. It took a lot of time to restore these files today, right?"

Liang Heng said: "No, these are the things I found when I tried it for the first time last night. I found almost nothing later, and they were useless. As for the chat records, I actually found them on the intranet. Then Jessica Tan, she deleted everything from her computer, and she didn’t find much more than her mailbox.”

I deliberately waited for a while before slowly saying: "She is very clever."

Liang Heng got it right, and got my reminder, his face changed slightly, and when he spoke again, he was no longer as excited as when we first met: "You mean she did it on purpose?"

I met his eyes and didn't say anything clearly.

"By the way, what we talked about last week," Liang Heng said after a moment of silence, "I went back and looked it up last night. Kevin's place is pretty clean, there's nothing wrong with it."

I was a little disappointed in my heart, but I had expected this result, so I didn't show too much emotion, I just said: "Brother Liang worked too hard. Did you work all night last night? It's also my fault. Just guessing, thinking too much, and causing you to work for nothing."

Chief Liang waved his hand: "Hey, what are you being polite about? It's not just thinking about it anyway, you, Jessica kept things on purpose, or accidentally slipped through the net, she did take those few The document was sent to Rudra, right? I looked it up on the intranet, and it seems that it is still a confidential document from the European department. At least it is true that there is some kind of transaction between Wang Wenbin and her—hey, let me ask, Don't be surprised. Didn't you suspect Rudra at all?"

I was sloppy just now because I hoped that he would not pursue this clue too closely. I never thought that Liang Heng's ability to grasp the key points is very first-rate.We have never had a personal relationship, and it was because of Jocelyn's advice that I entered his door for the first time. Liang Heng helped me many times, and asked clearly. It is not the best policy for me to talk to him in circles at this moment.

After hearing his question, I answered almost immediately: "Brother, when I entered the company, Rudra took me by the hand. He is really not that kind of person."

It has nothing to do with whether the boss has the means in this regard, and what channels he uses to inquire about things.Now that I have judged Jessica's identity, I must stand firm at this time; but since there is no evidence, it is best to play the emotional card.

Liang Heng took a breath and didn't speak immediately.After two or three seconds, he added: "It's a bit of an oddity indeed. I'll think about it again."

"Kevin's side, other colleagues, did the information on the intranet reveal anything unusual?" I asked as if I just remembered.

"Hmm... I didn't notice anything special." He rubbed his nose, "I read the names you opened and the people in charge of the core business, they are pretty clean."

I nodded: "An Ning likes to eat with Jessica and the others."

"Really?" Liang Heng froze for a moment, frowning slightly, "We are supposed to be in front of the computer all day long, and occasionally use chat software at work to say a few personal things. In my memory, the two of them don't seem to have Mentioned something similar... oh yes, I forgot, haven't we been working from home for the past two months? Normal."

I forced a smile: "That's right, I didn't think about this, it's Brother Liang who is careful."

Liang's chief position is much higher than mine, and they are not familiar with each other, so I can only point to the end of many communications.

Since even Liang Heng failed to make a breakthrough in the collection of evidence, I didn't dare to have extra hopes, but secretly hoped that nothing suspicious would be found in the boss' computer.

Jessica Tan actually left several deleted documents, and pointed the finger at the boss in such a subtle way, killing without blood, such a detailed arrangement, it really looks like Kevin's handwriting.

The boss is stuck in the mud, and he can't protect himself. Even if he stands up to clarify, it will become darker and darker.And I have my own concerns about him, I can't say I trust him completely, and what I rely on now is just the impression accumulated over the years of working together.Naturally, it was impossible for me to tell him everything I knew without proof.What a time to be extra cautious now?Although I looked at it from a distance and felt that it was someone else's clothes that were on fire, but if I made a wrong step, I would be in trouble.

Thinking of this, my fear of Kevin increased a lot.

Hui Lin has pulled me off the stage, so I should try again because of emotion and reason.It's a pity that I haven't made any achievements in this area. Hui Lin and her legal colleagues didn't pry their mouths open. What progress can I make if I just talk about it?Jessica Tan refused to accept hard words, and was vague, and when it came to dangerous questions, she simply kept silent.I have nothing to do with her, knowing that the matter is settled, and Kevin won this round.

Jessica's handling is not as thunderous as Passerby C's.Hui Lin quietly revealed to me that due to various considerations, Jessica Tan will only be persuaded to leave, and the final disposal will probably be delayed until the end of the month.

She didn't say clearly what she had considered and why the processing time was extended.

——I thought the company was going to keep it low-key.

Only two days later, unknown who let it out, the matter began to ferment in the tea rooms on each floor, gradually forming a stench.

The stamina is coming.

BCG didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and they took the opportunity to mention this matter at the conference.Although they focused on information security optimization, inside and outside the words, they all aimed at the Asian department. Together with the various stumbling blocks that Lao Huang gave them in the early stage, now they have to settle the new account and the old account together.

It stands to reason that even if the big boss is not present, Jocelyn should come out and intervene; but she actually acquiesced and even indulged in this behavior.

As we all know, Jocelyn is the vane of the company's dynamics.

There was a time when our department was up and down.

Sarcasm, sarcastic remarks, these are still light, just a few hours of work, how can the difference in treatment be obvious?Many people haven't recovered from it yet. If they feel uncomfortable because of this, it is because they have seen too few storms.Naturally, my mood was not very happy, and the air pressure in the office was also very low: but I knew that this was just a harbinger of a storm, so I didn't dare to let my guard down.

What's behind?

The boss's computer was delivered on Friday.If a colleague from the IT center came to collect the computer in person before, it didn’t attract everyone’s attention, but after this, we were observed with a magnifying glass, and we didn’t explode when we saw something?The matter of the boss being investigated suddenly became convincing, as if they saw who and who took him away for questioning, or they were simply witnesses to illegal information transactions.

In this case, no matter how calm the poker face the boss has, our little threesome meeting at the end of the week is not much more relaxed.No one mentioned it, but Lao Huang put on the crown several times and mispronounced the name of the third party; I was also absent-minded. A word, dare not ask.

The boss didn't confide in us about his troubled plans.

On the one hand, we were considerate and on the other hand, we were self-protecting. We did not gossip, and the meeting ended hastily.

Huang Xiuwen must have an idea.I don’t know if it’s because I greeted him on Monday, or maybe Lao Huang was too scared by this battle. Since then, he really hasn’t asked me anything.I was secretly a little annoyed, I couldn't take the initiative to bring up this kind of thing, if he came to ask, we can discuss it, it's better than being bored.

Since when did I even have to guard against Old Huang?

The closer you are to power, the easier it is for a person to fall into a vacuum.

Human vacuum.

I decided to try to resign from the big boss when I made a routine report next Monday.Going on like this now, my burden is too heavy, and there must always be a priority between my own work and "going deep into the enemy's rear".I know this is going to be difficult: What's not difficult if I have a good meal?

Now the Asian department has clearly become a living target, and under the pressure of the enemy, I can hardly think of the possibility of completing the multiple tasks that I have.It's just that the big boss probably has more to think about. It's not easy to convince him, but also to make sure he gets out.I was ironing the clothes I was going to wear tomorrow, but my heart felt like I was retreating—Now that I am in trouble at home and abroad, where is the time for romance?

Thinking of Miss Pender, I couldn't help but smile, but the smile was very weak, and it faded away after a while.I really wish I could cut myself in half, one for worrying and worrying, and the other for enjoying myself, even if it means being an incomplete person.

However, things in the world are never that simple.I sighed, but it wasn't because I was afraid that the Thunder would be enraged and I would lose everything.

I was afraid that I would fail her.
