Rebirth: Let's Talk About 1984

According to reports, this story begins at an entirely unscientific moment: Zhou Ziye, a designer who rose from creating counterfeit mobile phones, suddenly time-traveled back to the year 1984.

Chapter 788 Technical Equipment

Xing Baohua thought for a moment and said, "Ordinary mobile phones can't be blocked for now; we can only use signal jamming. However, everyone in our company above the senior management level uses encrypted mobile phones."

"What about mine?" Lei Jun said, taking out his phone. He had bought it himself before, but after starting work at DaMi, it seemed that no one had told him that they would provide him with a phone!

Xing Baohua stared at Lei Jun's phone and asked, "You didn't go to pick it up?"

"Nobody told me I could get a phone back."

Xing Baohua took out her phone and called Xie Yingying, telling her to prepare a new phone for Lei Jun. She asked with a hint of accusation, "How long has Lei Jun been with the company? His phone is still being used by someone else. Whoever is responsible should be fired."

This is no joke. If Lei Jun's phone is tapped, some of the things he and Lei Jun say might be overheard.

Of course, the chances of this happening are slim, since office buildings and laboratories have signal shielding devices.

They mostly talked indoors or discussed confidential matters.

Lei Jun honestly recounted the recording, which likely means he was being wiretapped.

The time and those sounds were the sounds he made when he went to the bathroom to rest.

Xing Baohua told him to be more careful in the future, which was just a small consolation; how can you be careful about something like that?

A shielding device needs to be installed in Lei Jun's room, and Xing Baohua has already notified someone to come and install it.

When Xie Yingying arrived at Xing Baohua's office with her phone, she first admitted her mistake, explaining that it was caused by Xiao Zhang, who was in charge of logistics in the office. Instead of firing him, Xie Yingying notified HR to transfer him to another position.

"This is a serious mistake. Is transferring him to another position really going to be the end of it?" As she spoke, she picked up the phone and called HR. Just as she was about to speak, Xie Yingying hurriedly said, "Xiao Zhang is the nephew of Mayor Zhang of the Municipal Government."

“No one’s nephew is of any use. We’re here to work, not to help anyone. Do you know about last night’s operation? It was aimed at him,” Xing Baohua said, pointing at Lei Jun.

Hearing a "hello" from the flashlight brought the HR manager over.

Lei Jun's arrival seemed to be the fuse that ignited internal strife within the rice industry, with signs of factionalism and competition emerging.

Xing Baohua doesn't care who Xiao Zhang is working for for the time being, but it's unacceptable for you to harm rice in order to help the person you support.

Doesn't Xie Yingying bear any responsibility?

Of course there were some, but not many. There was neither a reminder nor an attempt to stop Lei Jun from collecting the relevant security equipment. In fact, it seemed to encourage it. As Xing Baohua's secretary, failing to report this in a timely manner constitutes dereliction of duty.

After the personnel minister arrived, following Xing Baohua's instructions, he immediately fired Xiao Zhang from the office.

The reason is simple: due to a work error, Lei Jun's communication equipment was tapped, which could potentially leak company secrets.

The commotion that night was so big that everyone in the company who needed to know about it already knew, indicating a serious work error.

Even this guy named Xiao Zhang might be investigated. Who told Xiao Zhang to do it?

He simply said he had genuinely forgotten. Plus, with connections in his family, no one really made things difficult for him.

His uncle also called some of Da Mi's acquaintances to see if he could salvage the situation. When he learned that Xing Baohua had personally opened the business, the uncle stopped asking questions.

Xing Baohua's relationship with the city was somewhat delicate; in the eyes of these older folks, he was a troublemaker, and a very stubborn one at that.

But there was nothing they could do; a single grain of rice brought them a lot of revenue, so they had no choice but to treat him like royalty.

Lei Jun went to Xiao Tian's place to continue working.

Only Xie Yingying and Xing Baohua remained in the office. Xie Yingying said, "How chaotic do you want the company to be?"

“I didn’t cause chaos in the company; they messed things up on their own!” Xing Baohua said.

“If you don’t let them get away with it, how can they cause trouble? Secretary Dong has been coming to me a lot lately to ask about things at the Integration Group headquarters. I’ve told her it’s all just talk, but she doesn’t seem to believe it.”

"What do you think of her?" Xing Baohua turned her head and glanced at Xie Yingying before asking.

"Very capable and ambitious. He's only been here a short time, yet he's already eyeing the vice president position."

"It's really a waste of her talent to be a vice president." Xing Baohua was actually telling the truth, but Xie Yingying thought Xing Baohua was being sarcastic or joking.

Xing Baohua then said, "Would you like to go out and take on a position?"

"No, if I don't become your secretary, you'll have to transfer me back, and then I'll come here to serve you." Xie Yingying smiled awkwardly.

Actually, her current situation is a bit awkward. She has a dual identity: she is officially employed in Shanghai, while Lai Dami is nominally on loan.

It's certainly prestigious to be by Xing Baohua's side; if I go back, I'll only get promoted one level at most.

Although having family connections can help me climb the ladder faster, it still takes a lot of hard work!

Once you get used to the glory, it's hard to go back.

Why was Secretary Dong able to approach her? After all, she was the one who came out in the first place. Although the two had a good relationship, seeing Secretary Dong walk towards the vice president made her feel somewhat jealous.

Unless she doesn't want a government job in Shanghai and is determined to stay in the rice field.

The technical reconnaissance team left behind by Captain Han was led by Zheng Haishan, a man in his thirties who had unique skills in communications.

After obtaining the base station box data from the disassembled rice, we started to investigate the signal boxes within a five-kilometer radius, and surprisingly, we actually found two sets of equipment.

It's exactly the same as the one I found before, but unfortunately, the contents inside aren't very valuable.

The equipment within a five-kilometer radius of the rice factory and residential area has been inspected and found to be fine, but a problem has arisen.

A base station box appears every five kilometers, which is a bit far for transmission and reception, as the base station's signal coverage is only about 500 meters.
