Chapter 533 - Chapter 533: Chapter 330: Who is scheming against whom?_2 (2/2)
Squirrel had already become something of a confidant for him, and being not far from Chairman Zhao’s office when he was notified, he immediately put down his work and rushed over.
“Chairman Zhao, you wanted to see me.” Squirrel entered the office, greeting Chairman Zhao.
“`
Chairman Zhao nodded, raised his eyes to look at Squirrel, and asked, “Young man, the disguise you put on that IP address last night, really, no one but you could see through it?”
Squirrel didn’t know why Chairman Zhao was asking, but he nodded confidently, “Absolutely certain!”
Chairman Zhao didn’t say anything, his eyes rolling around.
He had already had people investigate Squirrel’s deceptive protection program after receiving Big Tiger’s firsthand report last night. It was truly ingeniously impenetrable. The difficulty for Lin Chuan to figure out the protection program and quietly get past it was extremely high.
Asking this question this morning was just for peace of mind.
He didn’t want Squirrel, with his half-hearted commitment, to drop the ball at a critical moment or to hide something, which would be an insult to him!
Intolerable!
Fortunately, Squirrel’s language and demeanor provided him with a definitive answer.
Chairman Zhao reassured, “My man, you are indeed the most effective!”
“Chairman Zhao has countless capable people under him…”
Squirrel flattered Chairman Zhao, who took great pleasure in the praise, grinning with creases forming on his chubby face.
Then.
Chairman Zhao pretended to be disheartened, sighed, and said, “Alas, they say I have countless capable people, but in reality, very few can be used. Let’s talk about the cybersecurity sector you’re in charge of; besides you, who else is there?”
Squirrel’s heart skipped a beat.
This…
Wouldn’t continuing this discussion be the task ‘Falcon’ sent last night?
How could Falcon predict Chairman Zhao’s thoughts with such precision?
Squirrel bowed his head, said nothing.
Quietly waiting for Chairman Zhao to speak again.
After a long pause.
Chairman Zhao sighed again, “How do you feel about the Hacker team you’re leading now?”
“This…”
Squirrel hemmed and hawed.
“But speak freely,” Chairman Zhao added.
Squirrel contemplated, “The skills are inconsistent; on the whole, they’re slightly inferior and can’t really compare with the top Hacker teams.”
Chairman Zhao nodded slightly, “Then let’s enhance the Hacker team.”
Squirrel appeared slightly startled, thinking to himself how Falcon really had accurately predicted Chairman Zhao’s move.
Amazing!
But, to throw out the goal given by Falcon directly would be too obvious.
So Squirrel solemnly said, “Chairman Zhao, please give me some time; I will train the Hacker team well and strive to become a top-tier Hacker team!”
Chairman Zhao dismissed the idea, “There’s no time.”
Squirrel, “Then…”
“Recruit directly, do you have any good suggestions?” Chairman Zhao obviously trusted Squirrel.
Indeed, Squirrel was now the strongest Hacker under Chairman Zhao.
After a long thought, Squirrel said, “Chairman Zhao, if we’re to recruit directly, I personally think recruiting Hackers formerly from AW would be more straightforward.”
“Recruiting Hackers formerly from AW?”
Chairman Zhao first pondered with furrowed brows, then lifted his eyes to look at Squirrel.
Squirrel then shared the argument he had pondered all night, “Here’s what I think: Lin Chuan recently dismantled AW, leaving many Hackers essentially homeless, AW can’t provide them with what they deserve anymore; if we offer them an olive branch, they should be quite willing to serve Chairman Zhao.”
Chairman Zhao’s eyes lit up.
Not because they would be willing to work for him, but because of the mention that ‘Lin Chuan has dismantled AW.’
The enemy of my enemy is my friend!
Besides, AW and Lin Chuan were already irreconcilable.
Now to absorb some of AW’s Hackers into his fold and tell them that the person he wanted to overturn was Lin Chuan, what would they do?
It goes without saying!
“This matter, you take charge!” Chairman Zhao’s mood had cleared considerably that morning.
Once he recruited some of AW’s Hackers and added Squirrel, his capable lieutenant, to suppress Lin Chuan’s dominance in the cyber sector, then capturing him in real life would be ever closer to secrecy, without any possibility of leakage!
Perfect!
Squirrel shook his head and said, “Chairman Zhao, I have just arrived, it would not look good taking charge of recruitment so quickly.”
In reality, this was Lin Chuan advising him to avoid suspicion.
As long as the people weren’t recruited by Squirrel, then even if there were problems, they couldn’t be blamed on Squirrel.
Chairman Zhao considered for a moment, his jowls quivering, and grinned, “You’re right, I will use my connections to carry out this task!”
