88 Chapter 88 : New Friendship (2/2)
”I think that's incredibly nice. You should cherish all the blessings while it lasts. You will get that coveted rest once you've saved enough money and have your own business or investments.” Xiulan warmly smiled at Chenguang.
”I know that, I am really thankful! But enough of me. I am more curious. Aren't you already rich? As in super rich? Why are you still working so hard?” Chenguang curiously asked. Actually, it has been bugging her that Xiulan was such a workaholic woman. The Song family is rich, the Xing family is extremely rich and she's personally rich by her own efforts. How come this pretty wife of her boss was so reluctant to leave the hectic and busy life?
Aren't CEOs supposed to just chill? But Xiulan was still very hands-on in her business. Unlike other bratty rich women, they just spend their day partying and spending money.
”I just really like technology and since my business is about technology, I just gotta mix them both. It's a never ending study and everything is interesting when it comes to technology. Also, I wanted to see more women in the IT and CS community. It's not about competing with men. I just want more women to try working in tech. That's why I try to be that leader that will make them love technology.” Xiulan admirably explained to Chenguang. While she was talking, there was a glint of inspiration in her eyes. She really wanted to create a peaceful community for tech women.
Chenguang nodded and gawked at Xiulan's wonderful explanation. She even clapped and gave a standing ovation. Her respect towards Xiulan is now unreal and had gone maximum level. ”You sound like a Miss Universe contestant! Really incredible! My idol!”
Xiulan blushed at Chenguang's comment. ”This rascal. Aren't you supposed to be attending a charity event? Hurry and go. You've been leeching off my British teas.” Xiulan playfully scolded. She got really shy all of a sudden.
”AH! You're right. Thank you for reminding me. I need to go, sister.” Chenguang hurriedly left Xiulan's office. She darted the hallway like she's being chased by something. It'll take two hours to get to the charity venue so she must quickly leave the place.
Xiulan grinned seeing the panicked expression on Chenguang's face. That rascal is so nosy but she doesn't mind at all. It feels like she got a little sister.
Xiulan put her attention back on her laptop and noticed that her Mystery Magic email address received a tons of auto generated notifications from a forum she was currently following. It was a forum that most hackers or tech savvies all over the world posts their random thoughts or inquiries.
”The Mao group is currently looking for new software developers that can rival Song Xiulan's company. It looks like the Mao CEO is furious of the promotional ads of Song Xiulan's company. She got a lot of new employees because of this.” Someone posted in the forum.
”Pretty much she needs new employees since her company is growing. Mao group are just assholes.” Another person commented.
”Mao group's salary is very good but their management is crap. Politics inside the company was also worse like the tech giant in city M. Song's company is the best for female programmers.”
”Hello everyone, I got a chance to receive an invitation and sideline from Mao group. They were eager to pay me so much as long as I try to pirate the other developers inside Song's company. Currently, I'm in trouble since I got kicked out of Song's company because of my shady transactions. They managed to track everything in my email, both personal and work. Now, I lost my sideline with the Mao group because of this. Tracking a person's transaction, is that even legal?” a user named BunnyBao commented in the thread.

Xiulan remembered that she fired someone three days ago because that person had been checking malicious internet contents and kept on checking dark web using the company internet. She also managed to track that this person had been interacting with several companies, not only the Mao group, and exposing some sensitive data from her company that's why she mercilessly kicked her out.
”BunnyBao, they have all the rights to check on whatever you are doing as long as you are connected in their internet. Are you even a tech person? You should know a basic thing like this.” a user named ThousandCodes ridiculed BunnyBao's inquiry.
”Their internet is super-fast unlike my home internet… I didn't know about this.” BunnyBao stupidly commented.
”Idiot. Not only you are an idiot, you might even rot in prison because of your negligence. You should pray that they won't sue you. I can't believe we have someone like you in this elite forum.” ThousandCodes berated BunnyCode continuously.
Xiulan was alarmed that Mao group have this kind of agenda against her and other companies have been sending their lackeys in her territory. She suddenly got nervous but at the same time thrilled. She somewhat felt proud that ter company is certainly in a level now that even rival companies are doing their best to sabotage her.
