To be honest, when Jiang Xiaoli heard that "Yujia Technology" had been hacked again, she had the same thought.
She frowned as she recalled her previous encounter with Jonathan in Philadelphia.
Zhong Yuan shoveled a few more mouthfuls of food into his mouth and asked, "Little Pear, what are you thinking? Do you think what I said makes sense?"
She shook her head. "I don't know either. Let's hear what Ayu has to say."
About 20 minutes later, Zong Jiayu came out of the office.
Seeing Jiang Xiaoli outside, he walked over and asked, "Xiaoli, how did the annual meeting go? Why don't you go home and rest?"
"It went smoothly." She skipped over the topic and asked, "What about this hacking attack?"
Zong Jia pulled her down to sit and explained, "It's just the robber logic of some shameless scoundrels. Several senior engineers from 'Vulcan' were introduced to 'SOSO' by Jonathan. They think our search and filtering program is very good, and they want to suppress us first before talking to us about technology patent licensing."
Zhong Yuan cursed directly, "These people are shameless! They're unwilling to license a crappy game, fine, but instead of politely asking for cooperation, they keep attacking us instead of showing some appreciation for our work?"
Zong Jia picked up the soup bowl and took a sip. "That's their logic of the strong. They believe that as long as they are strong enough, they can control the conversation."
Jiang Xiaoli was speechless. "Didn't you fight back against the hacker attack last time? How come they don't have a clear understanding of their own capabilities?"
Zong Jia scoffed, "It's good that they don't want to admit our strength. I'd like to see how long they can keep this up after their repeated defeats."
Zhong Yuan frowned and said, "Brother Zong, they're so despicable, can't we just attack them first?"
"Attack what?" Zong Jiayu glanced at him. "'Vulcan' is currently only operating single-player games, and 'Desperate Assault' only launched in March. Our situations are different."
Jiang Xiaoli nodded and said, "Hacking is illegal, and attacking them in return is tantamount to fighting violence with violence, which is not advisable."
Zhong Yuan was furious. "What are we supposed to do now? It's not the thieves we're afraid of, it's the thieves who have their eyes on us. We can't keep guarding against their attacks every day. The New Year is coming soon, and everyone will be overwhelmed by this workload."
Zong Jia patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, "I've already spoken with Jonathan. I've given him three days. If he can't give me a satisfactory answer, I will directly sue 'Vulcan' Company."
Jiang Xiaoli was a little worried, "This lawsuit won't be easy, will it? It's hard to be sure the other party is someone from 'Vulcan'."
Zong Jia sneered, "They were too confident. They only used simple IP hiding in two consecutive attacks. I already have evidence that these IPs belong to 'Vulcan' Company."
Zhong Yuan became excited, "That's awesome! Let those bastards show off!"
However, he then worried, "But these kinds of cases take a long time to process, don't they?"
Zong Jia smiled faintly. "It doesn't matter if it takes a long time. Their 'Desperate Strike' will be released in March. It's a high-quality game they've been developing for over two years, and there will be a large-scale promotional campaign. I think the media will really enjoy the news that the game company is a hacker base."
Jiang Xiaoli burst out laughing, "Strike the snake at its vital point, Ayu, I think your trick will be surprisingly effective."
He nodded. "Let's wait and see Jonathan's reply."
Zhong Yuan interjected, "Brother Zong, are you saying this Jonathan is clean? I don't believe he can remain untainted by the mud."
Zong Jia picked up her rice bowl and started eating. "Does it matter if he's clean or not? I'm not going to tell him the company's trade secrets. Even if he's in cahoots with his partners, he's still the best mouthpiece to show us our stance."
Jiang Xiaoli smiled slightly, "That's true. We don't have any financial dealings, so it doesn't matter whether he's clean or not."
After finishing their meal, Zong Jia said, "Little Pear, you should go home first. I'm still busy here for a while, so I'll go back later."
After saying that, he turned to Zhong Yuan and said, "You go with Xiao Lizi. There's nothing else going on at the company. Practice that song you prepared for your proposal some more."
On the way home, Jiang Xiaoli gossiped, "Brother Yuan, what song did you prepare this time? Hum a few lines and I'll give it my opinion."
Zhong Yuan didn't hesitate at all, "Then I'll sing!"
You ask me how deep my love for you is?
How much do I love you?
My feelings are true.
My love is true.
The moon represents my heart
..."
Jiang Xiaoli has heard many versions of this love song. Zhong Yuan's version is not very good, but listeners can easily hear his passionate feelings.
Zhong Yuan raised an eyebrow confidently and asked, "Little Pear, how is it? Pretty good, right? I'll go back and give my guitar a nickname, is that all?"
She chuckled softly, nodded, and said, "That's great, keep it up, Yuan-ge."
Zhong Yuan chuckled, "By the way, are you in a hurry to go home? If not, come with me to pick up the diamond ring? It should have been resized by now."
"Okay, let's go."
When they arrived at the store, Zhong Yuan looked at the modified diamond ring with some unease. "Little Pear, come and try it on."
Jiang Xiaoli smiled as she put on the diamond ring and felt it. "Brother Yuan, don't worry, it's fine!"
The sales assistant also said auspicious words, "Mr. Zhong, I wish you a successful proposal and a long and happy marriage with your bride!"
Zhong Yuan was delighted and bought two gold necklaces.
He handed it to Jiang Xiaoli, saying, "Xiaoli, please give this to Chengcheng and Zhiyi for me as a way of thanking them."
She smiled and accepted it without being polite, "Okay, consider it a consolation prize for Chengcheng, she's been holding it in for so long!"
Zhong Yuan laughed heartily, "It's really not easy to get her to keep a secret!"
That evening, Jiang Xiaoli suddenly received a call from Hu Jingxin, "Xiaoli, did you go out with Chengcheng and Zhiyi yesterday, Monday?"
Her heart skipped a beat, and she wondered if Yan Chengcheng had given herself away.
Then she heard Hu Jingxin ask, "Have you noticed anything strange about Chengcheng? I suspect she might be dating someone behind our backs!"
This unexpected turn of events was something she hadn't anticipated.
Jiang Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief. "Well... why do you say that?"
Hu Jingxin recounted in detail, "Today I noticed that Chengcheng was always avoiding me, often secretly smiling to herself. When I asked her what was wrong, she wouldn't say, and she always used Zhiyi as a shield for her!"
She suppressed a laugh and said, "Oh, you're definitely overthinking it. Maybe she found a novel she doesn't want to share with you and is reading it secretly!"
"Is that so?" Hu Jingxin was starting to believe it. "No, I'll go ask her again. I want to see too! Why is she always so secretive? Honestly!"
