Ning Nanxue raised her eyebrows, but the meeting had already entered the main topic, so she put her questioning aside for the time being.
Louis clapped his hands and said, "Since Huayun is interested in joining, then we can form a three-party alliance."
Mr. Li nodded in agreement. "We are very familiar with Howard's methods. It is difficult to resist him alone. Only by uniting can we have a chance of victory."
The projector in the center of the conference room lit up, and the three parties immediately drafted a joint agreement.
Jiang Tingchen is responsible for the technology sharing lock-in terms, Ning Nanxue leads the investment and shareholding ratio, and Louis focuses on the distribution of management decision-making power.
"Any technology transfer must be agreed upon by all three parties, and unilateral operations must be eliminated." Jiang Tingchen highlighted the key points in the document.
Mr. Li pushed the tablet toward the crowd. “Huayun’s achievements in quantum encryption are sufficient to ensure communication security. I recommend integrating it into the existing system.”
Ning Nanxue's eyes lit up: "This is even more perfect than I expected."
Louis raised his glass in greeting: "We need every bit of advantage against Howard."
In the afternoon, Ning Nanxue held a video conference with the domestic technical team.
As data flowed on the screen, she suddenly frowned and tapped her fingers quickly on the keyboard.
"The electronic signature is incorrect. This design drawing was accessed 90 minutes before the meeting." Her voice suddenly became cold.
Jiang Tingchen immediately approached the screen: "Someone inside is leaking information."
"Replace all encryption protocols and implant tracking code." Ning Nanxue ordered decisively, "Let the leaker think he succeeded."
The next day, the three returned to China on a private plane.
The plane slowly descended in the thick fog, just like the situation they were facing - confusing.
After receiving the news that Huayun Group was involved, Fu Chen slammed the folder on the table: "Who leaked the information? Why did the Li family suddenly take action?"
At the same time, in the elevator of Fu's Building, Xu Zhao grabbed Xu Zhiru's wrist and said, "Sister, things are beyond our expectations. We must prepare a way out."
"But Zhao, if Chen knew, he would—"
"Sister, by then, it's good enough if you can protect yourself." Xu Zhao looked at the elevator floor vigilantly.
In Fu Chen's office, Howard's video call popped up: "Mr. Fu, I thought we were allies. How do you explain the involvement of Huayun Group?"
Fu Chen clenched his fists: "I just found out too. Don't worry, I will speed up the collection of internal intelligence."
"That's better, otherwise we'll have to reconsider our cooperation." Howard threatened before hanging up.
After Ning Nanxue returned to the company, she immediately called together the core technical team.
On the projection in the conference room, the structural layers of the Green Light Joint Encryption Protocol were spread out layer by layer.
"From now on, each person can only access the code they are responsible for." She looked around at everyone, "And, pay attention to the parameters here."
Jiang Tingchen understood and cooperated by deliberately entering a wrong number somewhere.
This is the bait they set, waiting for the mouse to take the bait.
"Anyone who dares to betray me, don't blame me for being ruthless." There was a hint of coldness in Ning Nanxue's tone.
Late at night, Jiang Tingchen was alone in the office setting up a monitoring point, and the system screen reflected his focused face.
"I found it. The IP address comes from..." Surprise flashed in his eyes. "Senior technical staff?"
Just as he was about to investigate further, the office door was pushed open.
Ning Nanxue walked in with two cups of coffee.
"I didn't expect you were a night owl too." She placed the coffee on his desk.
"You're the same." Jiang Tingchen took the coffee and pointed at the screen. "Interesting discovery."
Ning Nanxue leaned in to take a closer look. "He's just an ordinary employee. He's in charge of the cooling system. How could he..."
"This is just a superficial phenomenon." Jiang Tingchen opened another window, "The real mastermind behind this should be this person."
The real mastermind behind this should be this person." Jiang Tingchen clicked on the surveillance footage and a figure appeared - Liu Ming, the technical manager.
That night, Fu Chen's new assistant Zhao Lei sneaked into the technical department quietly, and his figure flashed through the blind spot of the corridor surveillance like a ghost.
He skillfully cracked the access control, inserted the customized USB drive, and began to copy the "Joint Encryption Protocol" file.
In the monitoring room, Ning Nanxue and Jiang Tingchen observed all this in real time through infrared cameras.
"It's too obvious. This isn't the work of an ordinary assistant." Ning Nanxue narrowed her eyes, her fingers rapidly tapping on the keyboard. "The evidence is being uploaded to three independent backup locations."
Jiang Tingchen stared at the clear figure on the screen: "Fu Chen is really impatient."
"Let him continue his performance." Ning Nanxue raised the corner of her mouth slightly and turned on another monitor. "The tracking code in the encrypted file has been activated. We can see their every move."
The next morning, Ning Nanxue stood in the middle of the conference room and deliberately raised her voice. "The Greenlight Project is progressing smoothly. Tomorrow night at 8 o'clock, I will confirm the final cooperation plan with Louis via video. At that time, the tripartite agreement will officially take effect."
Her eyes swept over everyone present, and especially lingered on Liu Ming's face for a moment.
"President, what should we do with Howard?" the CFO asked cautiously.
"Howard is no longer under consideration. Catching Fu Chen will give us a chance to get him to leave the Fu Group." Ning Nanxue responded briefly.
As soon as the meeting ended, the surveillance system showed Liu Ming hurriedly entering the server room, this time with a more sophisticated copying device.
"Interesting, they've even upgraded their equipment." Jiang Tingchen leaned back in his chair in the monitoring room.
Ning Nanxue picked up the intercom: "Security Department, give me the surveillance copy."
At six o'clock in the evening, Liu Ming left the technical department with the data and took the elevator directly to the underground garage.
In the surveillance footage, a black luxury car had been waiting for a long time. The window slowly lowered, revealing Fu Chen's gloomy face.
"They really think they're so smart." Ning Nanxue snorted coldly and pressed the intercom button, "Action."
The security personnel rushed out like an arrow and surrounded Liu Ming.
Another group of people quickly stopped Fu Chen's car.
"Mr. Fu, you shouldn't have come here in person." Ning Nanxue walked out of the elevator, her voice calm but with a biting chill.
Fu Chen's face turned pale: "What do you mean?"
"The meaning is very simple." Ning Nanxue shook the tablet in her hand, on which was playing the video call record between Fu Chen and Howard. "Betraying the company and selling out core technology, these crimes are enough to dismiss you."
Ten minutes later, tensions mounted in the board's temporary meeting room.
"This is a complete misunderstanding!" Fu Chen slammed the table and stood up. "I only contacted Howard for the benefit of the company!"
Ning Nanxue said nothing, but just clicked on another video. In the video, Liu Ming was looking for information everywhere.
The directors looked at each other and whispered.
"The evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?" Ning Nanxue's voice was cold.
Fu Chen stared at Jiang Tingchen fiercely: "Jiang Tingchen was able to easily mobilize the Huayun Group. Haven't you ever doubted his identity? This is a bigger conspiracy!"
