Chapter 511 - Chapter 511: Chapter 317: The Mysterious Person (2/2)
Her speech was fast and clear.
Lucas blinked, frowning slightly, “What news?”
“About the data of our group, the subsidiary has given feedback.”
Moli’s face was smiling, seemingly delighted to have received the feedback.
“Feedback already?”
Lucas showed a bit of hesitation at first, “Positive feedback, or…?”
Moli nodded emphatically, “Positive feedback, the subsidiary has completed the task, successfully breached AW’s server, and snatched back the data about us from Lin Chuan’s hands that AW had.”
“What?!”
Lucas’s eyes widened, three furrows forming on his forehead.
This scenario was beyond his wildest expectations!
Was it a case of serendipity?
Or, could it be that there was an expert hidden among the ordinary?
He didn’t know.
A wave of disbelief washed over him, while at the same time, a glimmer of hope began to slowly ignite upon a patch of dry grass.
“General Manager?” Moli called softly when Lucas didn’t respond.
Lucas snapped out of his trance, his face lighting up with joy, “Good! Good! Nicely done, tell me the details immediately, who completed the task!”
At that moment.
Excitement and elation replaced the confusion and disbelief on Lucas’s face.
Moli presented the feedback from the subsidiary to Lucas, “General Manager, the subsidiary reports that in the IT security team, a young man known as Squirrel has performed outstandingly in this mission. Here is his operation flow under screen surveillance.”
A tablet was handed over to Lucas.
The screen was showing Squirrel ‘operating’ the computer, typing codes, running programs, and other cool maneuvers as he seamlessly infiltrated AW’s crippled server, scoured for a long time, and finally secured the desired data.
Along the way, he also snagged a good deal of other data.
“Nice!”
Lucas exclaimed as he watched.
He felt like a destitute clan leader who suddenly took in a potential genius.
The taste of that moment was indescribable.
On the tablet, the video scrolled to the end.
Moli lightly tapped, pulling up a document, “General Manager, this is the data he retrieved.”
“Good, good, good!”
Lucas exclaimed in approval.
Suddenly!
He paused for a moment.
It seemed… this person called Squirrel was the same mysterious individual who had taken a piece of the cake from Lin Chuan!
Hiss!
Lucas’s eyes shone even brighter!
That’s right!
It was him, it was him, it was definitely him!
In the Hacker circles, there was talk only of a mysterious individual.
His own subordinate had also retrieved data from AW’s server.
So…
Squirrel = that mysterious individual!
Searching for him through thousands of miles, I turned around unexpectedly, and there he was where the lights were dim!
Absolutely brilliant!
Lucas’s mood shifted from lament to invigoration and excitement, he picked up the red wine and glass, poured a generous cup, and without savoring the wine, drank a big gulp as if it were a beverage.
He let out a contented sigh!
With the red wine in his belly, Lucas’s head cleared up quite a bit, and he immediately ordered his secretary, “Moli, immediately transfer this hero to the headquarters, I want to see him tonight!”
Moli was startled and nodded hastily, “Okay, got it!”
Immediately, she began to contact the HR department, the subsidiary, and all the way to Squirrel.
The setting sun’s afterglow faded over the vast expanse of the sea.
In the twilight sky, stars sparkled like scattered gems upon dark silk, and the gentle sea breeze caressed the face, feeling incredibly soft to Lucas.
He had never felt such a comfortable sea breeze before.
The subtle sounds of nature, at this moment, also seemed exceptionally enchanting, like the tender whispers of a first love, like strings and flutes.
January in Southeast Asia was not cold, just a touch cool.
Lucas wrapped himself in a light coat and paced in his office, looking towards the door from time to time to see if Moli was bringing someone in.
It was around nine in the evening when interlaced footsteps sounded outside the door.
Lucas’s eyes brightened, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose as he turned his head to look towards the door.
As expected.
Following behind Moli was a young man.
This young man was Squirrel!
Squirrel seemed to be around twenty-five or twenty-six, with an intense gaze and a thirst for power in his eyes. Lucas could even tell that Squirrel had a strong desire for this place.
Lucas immediately stood up to greet him, with a broad smile on his face.
“General Manager, this is Squirrel,” the secretary, Moli, introduced.
Lucas eyed Squirrel up and down, nodding continuously, then raised his hand and patted Squirrel’s shoulder, affirming, “Squirrel, you did a very good job!”
Squirrel nodded in response, “General Manager, I can do even better.”
Lucas heard this and was even more reassured!
Such a subordinate, if guided and nurtured properly, would definitely grow into a Fierce General!
In the past few hours, he had Moli pull up Squirrel’s profile.
After joining the subsidiary, Squirrel had shown good conduct, settling in for quite some time with nothing suspicious.
Thus, Lucas felt very confident about Squirrel.
“Very good, very good!”
Lucas became more and more satisfied as he watched, gesturing for Squirrel to sit down, “You have been through a long period at the subsidiary, and now, I’m assigning you here to take up the position of IT Department Manager. Are you interested?”
Squirrel pondered for a moment, “I’m more interested in the role of IT Director!”
Lucas laughed heartily, feeling even more pleased, “No problem, as long as you perform well enough and have the ability, what’s IT Director, right?”
As the head of a group division, he had led countless people; he never feared ambition in his subordinates.
If they didn’t have ambition, that was the real cause for suspicion.
Either they were incompetent or deceitful!
Neither could be relied upon!
This Squirrel, strong and ambitious, that is the person I’m looking for!— Lucas thought to himself.
“Moli, pour some wine!”
Lucas then ordered Moli to pour red wine for Squirrel, and then, he raised his glass, clinking it lightly with Squirrel’s, “As long as you follow me, whatever you want, is yours for the asking!”
“General Manager, as long as you can give me what I want, my loyalty to you will be absolute!” Squirrel stated with determination.
“What do you want?” Lucas was confident he could manage Squirrel.
“Money, beauty, power!”
Squirrel stated his desires without hesitation.
Lucas laughed loudly, “No problem, all these I can satisfy for you!”
