Jiang Chen had just finished a meeting when he received the call from the He family.
Through this period of working together, most of the researchers in the Yangtze River Project have become familiar with each other. Jiang Chen is young, but his scientific research ability is obvious to all. Everyone usually respects him, but this time the development of the network has been ups and downs, and everyone is very curious.
After walking out of the conference room for a while, someone finally couldn't hold it in anymore and turned to ask Jiang Chen who was talking to Professor Zhang Zhizhou: "Boss, did you know that the Internet has reversed it?"
During the previous war of words, someone in the team was about to take action to hack those posts immediately. C was the most ruthless. He went through the backdoors of those portal websites as if he was visiting his own garden. He joined forces with Shi Fengyue to plant viruses one by one. Just when they were about to black out the entire network, they were discovered by Jiang Chen, and all their attacks had to be withdrawn.
Everyone was puzzled at the time, but who would have thought that within a day, Hua Yan and the research institute would speak out at the same time. The online public opinion immediately reversed. Everyone was happy for Jiang Chen, but they also knew that there was definitely someone behind this matter.
——Of course, it’s not the reversal that was manipulated by someone, but the previous public opinion.
For a group of computer geeks, finding evidence on the Internet is as easy as taking something out of a bag. As early as when the water army was first formed, they had already stripped the other party of everything. Not only did they sort out their IP addresses, but they also packaged up all the contacts, accounts, and addresses and sent them to the right places.
Now that I think about it, everyone who should have received the compressed package should have received it. If not, they wouldn't mind helping him open the gifts, such as popping up evidence when he opens his computer and not allowing him to close it until he has finished reading it.
Jiang Chen had no idea how protective these colleagues, whose average age was nearly ten years older than him, were of their shortcomings, and he had no idea that they had secretly planned countless ways to vent his anger, and had even implemented many of them.
He smiled and replied, "I saw it before the meeting. Thanks to Hua Yan's statement and our institute's announcement, especially the announcement on our institute's official website, I didn't expect there was a way to directly post the paper."
“That was put there when he was a kid.” A relatively young man in the crowd laughed and said, “We didn’t expect he had this trick.”
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment and glanced at Shi Fengyue who was sorting out the data. Shi Fengyue glanced at him slightly, then looked away and continued to look through the data.
"By the way, I saw a statement from Yanda University saying that you can ignore the attendance rate during school. So, boss, are you going to the military training?"
Jiang Chen came back to his senses, thought for a moment and said, "I'll go if the schedule of our project is relatively relaxed."
A few people nodded, and just as they were about to say more, Jiang Chen's cell phone rang.
With a slight gesture, he left the crowd, walked to another secluded corridor and answered the phone.
The caller was He Yanfeng. He gave a brief account of what happened on the Internet, and then told Jiang Chen that he had received an email containing evidence that He Qianjian had paid an army of internet trolls to discredit him. Not only him, but almost everyone in the He family had received this email, including He Qianyang who was traveling abroad.
"Did you send this email?" He Yanfeng asked.
Jiang Chen: “No.”
He Yanfeng believed it without asking any more questions: "He Qianjian's behavior is not illegal, but it is very bad. Now your grandfather and others know about it and have called him to the old house. If you have time today, come back."
Jiang Chen didn't want to waste time on He Qianjian's affairs, and frowned slightly: "Today I..."
"Come back." He Yanfeng said, "Your grandfather has something to tell you."
Jiang Chen paused and agreed.
The He family’s old house.
As soon as Jiang Chen entered the door, He Qianyang, who had flown back at some point, pulled him aside. He hooked his arm around his neck and raised his camera: "Come and take a few photos with your brother. Your sister-in-law wants photos of us."
"sister in law?"
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, and with a confused look on his face, He Qianyang, who had already posed, took a lot of photos of him.
He Qianyang glanced at his handsome self in the camera, rubbed his chin with satisfaction, put away the camera and said, "You've seen him before, on my birthday."
Jiang Chen recalled for a moment and matched the person, but he was still puzzled: "Why does she want our photos?"
"You don't know how popular you are now." He Qianyang raised his eyebrows and said, "As soon as your photo came out, everyone who knew me knew that you were my brother. Now they all asked me for your contact information, and some even asked me to get your autograph. The same goes for your sister-in-law."
Jiang Chen didn't expect such a thing to happen, but when he thought about the alliance in his previous life, whenever he appeared in public places, he would be secretly photographed everywhere, and he was immediately relieved.
"By the way, He Qianjian is in grandpa's study with my dad and your dad." He Qianyang led Jiang Chen inside: "He's probably in training, do you want to go and take a look?"
Jiang Chen showed little interest. He took his hand away and sat down on the sofa. He opened the computer bag he was carrying and said, "I still have to work. If you want to watch it, go ahead and read it yourself."
He Qianyang clicked his tongue and said, "He Qianjian wanted to get rid of you. Now I believe it. That email was definitely not sent by you."
Jiang Chen didn't even raise his head, his fingers tapped on the computer, and lines of code appeared.
"Is this your new project?" He Qianyang stuck his head out.
Jiang Chen hummed, his fingers moving non-stop.
He Qianyang was curious: "I heard that your project is classified as confidential. What is it researching?"
"Since it's a confidential project." A voice interrupted and said coldly: "Why are you asking so many questions?"
"Aunt." He Qianyang said with a smile, "I'm just curious. The person who is most likely to win the International Young Scientist Award is my younger brother. When he wins the award, I, as his older brother, can't be ignorant of everything."
He Yanya tapped his head and walked over to sit opposite Jiang Chen.
“I heard that your project has already started.”
Jiang Chen raised his head, "Yes."
"Come on, do a good job."
Jiang Chen paused, smiled, and nodded gently: "Okay."
He Yanya also smiled, and the look in her eyes softened.
Seeing that He Yanya had nothing else to say, Jiang Chen continued to work.
After an unknown amount of time, there was movement upstairs.
He Yanjun was the first to come down. Seeing Jiang Chen concentrating on his work, he slowed down his pace, glared at He Qianyang who was playing games on the side, and sat down next to him.
Jiang Chen seemed to have sensed something. He looked up and saw He Yanjun sitting opposite him. He nodded and said, "Uncle."
He Yanjun nodded gently, and Mr. He and He Yanfeng also went downstairs. The last one to walk was He Qianjian - Mrs. He was supporting him and seemed to be injured.
Jiang Chen took a quick glance and turned his attention back to his work. He had modified this code several times but failed to get it right. He just discussed it in the team group and got some inspiration. He wanted to find time to finish the modification.
While Jiang Chen was working, no one spoke in the living room, only the sound of his fingers tapping on the keyboard.
Jiang Chen is always focused when doing things, and he tends to ignore time when he is fully engaged. When he finally wrote a satisfactory code, Yang Yun and He Qianmin, who went to pick up He Qianyu after class, had already returned, and dinner was ready in the restaurant.
Seeing that everyone was waiting for him, Jiang Chen paused slightly and said apologetically: "Sorry, I was so engrossed in my work just now that I didn't notice that everyone was waiting for me."
"What are you apologizing for?" He Qianyang said, "It was my dad who forbade you to quarrel with him, so he should be the one apologizing."
He Yanjun glanced at him and said, "You little bastard deserves a beating, right?"
He Qianyang stood up and stretched his shoulders. When Jiang Chen looked at him, he hinted in a certain direction with his eyes.
Jiang Chen followed his gaze and saw He Qianjian standing behind the sofa of Mr. and Mrs. He, with his head lowered. Perhaps noticing his gaze, He Qianjian raised his head, made eye contact with him for a brief moment, and then immediately retracted his gaze.
Mr. He coughed softly, and Jiang Chen looked over to see He Qianjian staggering out from behind the sofa. The way he walked seemed like he had a back injury.
"Xiao Chen." Mr. He said, "We have all heard about what happened on the Internet recently. The person behind the scenes is He Qianjian. Your father and uncle taught him a lesson. Now let him apologize to you here."
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at He Qianjian whose face turned pale, and couldn't imagine how he would look when he apologized.
However, He Qianjian apologized very straightforwardly, and his words were sincere, his expression was apologetic, and his attitude was extremely humble.
"My college entrance exam results were so bad this time. I was impulsive and couldn't accept the difference between your scores and mine, so I wanted to create some public opinion online to cause trouble for you. So I hired some Internet trolls and people from the freshman newspaper to spread the news that you chose Hua University, hoping that both schools would have a bad impression of you. Now I know I was wrong and I regret it. I hope you can forgive me and give me a chance to make amends. I'm sorry."
Jiang Chen looked at He Qianjian who was bowing 90 degrees in front of him. Although it was unexpected, he felt no emotion in his heart. He knew from the very beginning that it was He Qianjian who was behind it, but he did not take it to heart because he knew very well that it would not affect him in any way.
Later, Yan University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and the Military Research Institute spoke out one after another, instantly reversing the remarks. He Qianjian's conspiracy was resolved almost as soon as it began. Jiang Chen would not pay any special attention to this matter. At this time, He Qianjian's apology seemed completely unnecessary to him.
Because no matter what attitude He Qianjian makes, or whether he really repents and feels guilty, he doesn't care. These will not change the plan he has already started, nor will they affect his determination to destroy the system.
"You don't need to apologize." Jiang Chen said calmly, "Although I didn't send that email, it must have been sent by one of my people."
He Qianjian raised his head and looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief. He had thought that Jiang Chen would respond to his apology in countless ways, which naturally included rejection. He had already prepared a response in his mind, and was just waiting for Jiang Chen to finish speaking so that he could respond in the way that would be most beneficial to him.
However, he didn't expect Jiang Chen to directly admit that the email was sent by his people. What was he doing? How should he answer this?
