Chapter 85 You Can't Fire Me

Lu Fengqing almost spat out her milk tea.

The only bad thing she ever did in her life was paying a bald-headed tiger to release Lu Yuhan's indecent photos.

However, although the photos were messy, they didn't show anything explicit. Lu Yuhan still had something on her that Lu Yuhan couldn't afford to call the police and cause her trouble...

So what do the police want with her?

"Yes, that's me." Lu Fengqing stood up. "May I ask what happened?"

The two police officers were quite reasonable. "We received a report from your company that your server room was attacked by unidentified large-scale DDoS attacks early the day before yesterday and this morning. According to your company's technical staff, Ms. Lu has recently been attacking and intruding into the company's security system. We ask Ms. Lu to cooperate with our investigation."

"..."

No wonder I vaguely heard people talking about how the company's office software kept going offline this morning during lunch; it turns out that's why.

What does the attack on the Ke Gu's computer room have to do with her?

Lu Fengqing threw the unfinished milk tea into the trash can, turned off the computer, and planned to go with the police.

She has nothing to fear; she did nothing wrong and has nothing to be afraid of being investigated.

As Lu Fengqing walked to the door, she saw Assistant Fang standing outside, with a middle-aged man in a black suit and his hair neatly combed behind him.

Assistant Fang nodded to her when she saw her. "This is Attorney Sun from the Legal Department. President Gu is busy and asked us to accompany you."

Lu Fengqing's anxiety subsided.

Many employees had heard that the police had come to the company, and when they saw the police take away the new assistant, Lu, they were surprised but didn't forget to gossip among themselves.

"What's going on? Why are the police here?"

"I don't know, I heard it's because of the office software going offline this morning. Didn't she spend a few days in the tech department last week? I heard she's the one who created that turtle on our computers. Do you think she was the one who did that this morning too? It affected the whole group's work, think of how much they'll lose... Isn't that illegal?"

"I wouldn't know that. But speaking of which, she's someone Mr. Gu brought with him, right? I've heard that Mr. Gu has been eating with her these past few days, and they're together at work and after get off work. A lot of people suspect that she and Mr. Gu have that kind of relationship..."

Two junior employees were chatting enthusiastically when a cold voice came from behind them, "What are you standing there for? If you don't want to work, go to the HR department and submit your resignation."

The two junior employees were startled. When they turned around and saw Huo Yao and Secretary Liu, they turned pale with fright, quickly apologized, and returned to their work.

Huo Yao asked, "What happened?"

Secretary Liu then explained the situation: "General Manager Gu is in the technical department, and Assistant Fang went with Assistant Lu."

Huo Yao gave a curt reply and turned back to her office to continue working.

-

Everyone in the technical department got busy, not only taking countermeasures but also increasing defenses and collecting evidence of the attack to submit to the relevant departments.

After handing over all the necessary instructions, Wei Gao returned to his office. Looking at the man sitting in his seat, he looked troubled. "Mr. Gu, I've found out that it was Guo Jie who mentioned Ms. Lu to the police..."

Having worked under him for many years, Wei Gao couldn't help but add, "Guo Jie didn't know that an agreement had been signed beforehand, she..."

Gu Suixing had no patience for this nonsense. "Let her in."

Wei Gao immediately fell silent and resignedly went out to call for help.

Guo Jie, who was working diligently at her seat, heard Wei Gao call her name and got up to go over.

Wei Gao looked at her, hesitated, and finally just sighed, "Go in, Mr. Gu is looking for you."

There's no way to save him now. He'll have to go to the company's legal department later, and the next few days won't be easy, so he won't have time to deal with these things.

For some reason, Guo Jie suddenly felt uneasy.

In the WeChat group that the company employees privately created, the women would talk about Mr. Gu every few days, praising him as if he were free. Besides praising his abilities and background, they would also praise his looks, saying that if they married him, they would never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. Even if they couldn't marry him, they would still be happy to have a one-night stand with him.

Everyone has dreamed of climbing the social ladder and becoming a phoenix, and she was no exception; she just dared to think about it but not act on it. Not only her, but no one else dared either. Ever since CEO Gu fired a scantily clad secretary who tried to seduce him in the office, no one in the entire company dared to harbor any improper thoughts.

Guo Jie walked into the office with a nervous heart, "Mr. Gu."

Gu Suixing held the information about Guo Jie sent by the HR department, as well as the personal information that Guo Jie filled out when she joined the company, and asked in a low voice, "Guo Jie?"

Guo Jie quickly looked up at Gu Suixing, then immediately lowered her head, her ears slightly red. "Yes."

This was the second time she had seen this young CEO Gu up close.

She used to think that this young Mr. Gu was very handsome from afar, but now that she's up close, she not only doesn't find any flaws in him, but she thinks he's even more handsome.

Gu Suixing: "Someone complained to me that you were telling everyone that I had some kind of shady relationship with Assistant Lu?"

Guo Jie instinctively denied it: "I didn't..."

Gu Suixing: "Want to listen to the recording?"

Guo Jie suddenly lost her voice.

Gu Suixing casually tossed the documents in her hand onto Wei Gao's desk, saying, "Go to the HR department to settle your salary."

Guo Jie's expression changed, and she said in a hoarse voice, "I have not made any mistakes at work, you cannot fire me."

Gu Suixing raised her eyes, her gaze icy. "Half of the workday is spent watching dramas, playing on your phone, and eating snacks. Your work attitude is perfunctory, and you're neglecting your duties. Is that reason enough? Or do you want to go to the monitoring room and see the surveillance footage firsthand, to witness the so-called 'serious drama' with your own eyes?"

“But I’m not the only one like this, everyone else is too…” As she spoke, Guo Jie’s voice trailed off, and her face turned ashen.

Gu Suixing smiled faintly, "While I still have time, go out and call anyone else with the same work attitude as you, and I'll fire them all."

Almost everyone in the technical department, except for Wei Gao, was like this. Guo Jie knew this perfectly well, but she didn't dare to actually call the rest of the department in. Firing her was her own business, but if it led to everyone else being fired, she would be the culprit, which would offend people.

"No, that's all," Guo Jie said softly, standing still.

Gu Suixing raised his eyelids slightly. "Is there anything else?"

Guo Jie bit her lower lip and mustered her courage to ask, "Did you fire me because of Miss Lu?"
