It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

"……Um?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him at once.

Personnel changes?

Where do the personnel changes come from?

Haven’t you heard of it before?

"Come to think of it, is this Director Xu's first time attending a board meeting?"

Lin Wenhua paused, then smiled and replied, "If it's an ordinary employee joining the company, there's no need to tell me here, just make your own decision."

"Of course it's not that simple."

Xu Shi shook his head and gave Su Lin a look.

The other party understood what he meant and uploaded a document to the screen in front of everyone present.

"After discussion with the personnel department, it has been decided to remove Xu Anbang, the director of the group's cybersecurity technology department, from his original position and transfer him to an ordinary clerk."

!

"...Why?"

Upon hearing the news, the bald man at the end of the seat could no longer sit still and started shouting in a higher voice.

"Excuse me, Mr. Xu, what did I do wrong that you suddenly fired me?"

"Don't you know what you did wrong?"

Xu Shi looked at him calmly, "Director Xu, you should still remember the hacker attack two weeks ago, right? Do you think you are still qualified to sit in this position?"

……

Xu Anbang was speechless when he heard this.

indeed.

The technical department was his small territory, but he was helpless when faced with the aggressive hacker invasion.

If there hadn't been news that the problem had been solved, who knows how long he would have had this headache.

"You can't even handle the hacker attacks by the Sin City gangs, and you dare to ask me why?"

Xu Shi tapped the table with his fingers and continued, "If I hadn't personally taken action to resolve this matter, do you know how serious the consequences would be?"

"They are targeting the transaction between the group and Prism... If they succeed, who will bear the loss of 50 million credit points?"

After hearing this, others also started to think.

Of course they all knew about the attack, and they all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that it was a close call.

But thinking back, Xu Anbang's crime was still not small.

After all, if the transaction fails, it will be the interests of these shareholders that will be lost.

"...Okay, I admit that I am not perfect in this matter, but are you going to dismiss me just for this?"

Xu Anbang felt a little guilty, but still refused to accept it, "Besides, if you remove me, who will Mr. Xu find to take my place?"

"You don't have to worry about that."

Xu Shi smiled and said, "However, I was just about to introduce to you the new head of the technical department, Ms. Gu Yi."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Lin walked in with Gu Yi.

This undoubtedly surprised everyone.

That's it?

Just this little girl?

She doesn’t look that good either… Is she an adult?

In fact, Miss Black Rabbit is already nineteen years old, but her development is indeed a little delayed, and she looks much younger than she actually is.

She also looked very nervous, and it was obvious that she couldn't adapt well to crowded environments because she had been alone for a long time.

"She is the successor that Director Xu has chosen?"

Xu Anbang was even more unconvinced, "Does she have any advantages... or has Mr. Xu changed his taste recently?"

He subconsciously felt that this little girl must have bewitched Xu Shi in some way, after all, that's just the kind of person he is.

"She has a much greater advantage than you."

Xu Shi sneered, "In fact, Miss Gu Yi was also involved in the previous intrusion incident... As the intruder, it took her less than an hour to hack into the database and get what she wanted."

"Of course, with good communication between us, she also voluntarily chose to join the Snake Ring."

"Ms. Gu Yi also played an important role in the recent security system upgrade and the elimination of the electronic kidnappers in Sin City."

"In view of such outstanding performance, I plan to promote her as an exception and let her replace you."

Xu Anbang opened his mouth, but no words came out.

He couldn't quite believe it... He had only heard about recent events in the technical department but didn't really understand them.

After all, Xu Shi had never told him these things.

"…But she's a thief! Does Director Xu want to let a criminal who once hacked into the company be the head of the technical department?"

This made him even more unable to accept the fact, "Who can feel at ease letting such a person be in charge of the technical department?"

"I would feel even more uneasy if a piece of trash like you were in charge."

Xu Shi stared at him and said seriously, "I value her ability... As for whether she has a criminal record, isn't it just a matter of one word from the Inspection Bureau?"

"So, can we vote now?"

"Everyone!"

Seeing the hesitation on the faces of the people around him, Xu Anbang felt something was wrong.

This is the fact, no matter how close you are to each other on a daily basis, when it comes to their own interests, these guys will not show any mercy to you.

There was no hope of relying on them... He could only look to Lin Wenhua, who was frowning, for help.

He had already chosen a side a long time ago, so if the other party is willing to protect him, there is still a chance of being saved.

However, what he didn't expect was that after hesitating for a moment, Lin Wenhua was the first to raise his hand.

“I agree with this decision.”

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 18 It is not advisable to judge others by yourself!

Lin Wenhua's attitude caught everyone present by surprise.

At least they didn't expect him to compromise so quickly, and he was even the first to agree with Xu Shi's attitude.

Are you really not going to play around anymore?

But now is not the time to dwell on these things. Seeing Lin Wenhua express his opinion, others no longer hesitated and raised their hands.

"It seems that everyone has no objection."

Xu Shiqian smiled and clapped his hands, "Then let us once again welcome the new head of the technical department, Miss Gu Yi."

As he spoke, he pulled Gu Yi to his side, acting very intimately.

Miss Black Rabbit was still confused and at a loss as to what to do with her smile.

Seeing this, others also gave some indifferent congratulations.

"Thank you so much for your support, Uncle Lin."

Accompanied by applause, Xu Shi turned and looked at Lin Wenhua.

"President Xu is so concerned about the group, of course I have to support him wholeheartedly."

Lin Wenhua said calmly, "If your father could see this, he would be very pleased."

"Sparrow food."

Xu Shi responded and ignored him, instead greeting Jiang Fengshan who was absent-minded on the other side, "Manager Jiang, you'll get better soon."

“…Ah, yes, yes.”

Jiang Fengshan came back to his senses and quickly smiled and said, "Medical technology is very advanced nowadays."

"That's right, you're old now, you need to take care of your health."

Xu Shi nodded. "Otherwise, if one day... don't blame me for being harsh, but if you're gone, what will the group do, right?"

Giving him a meaningful look, he stood up and left.

……

"Why...why?"

Gu Yi was still dizzy until she left the company and sat in Xu Shi's car.

"what why?"

Xu Shi asked knowingly.

"It's you... Why did you ask me to do this, the head of the technical department?"

Miss Black Rabbit shook her head, her words full of disbelief.

When Xu the Bastard asked her to attend the meeting, her first reaction was that this guy was going to humiliate her completely in front of everyone.

After all, in her opinion, this was in line with Xu Shi's usual style... She had been worried about this for several days.

But I didn't expect things to turn out like this. This was a completely unexpected development.

Does this mean that I have become... one of the top executives of a top financial group?

Although the weight of the technical department may not be that great, it is still a height that ordinary people cannot reach in their entire lives.

At least she had never had such a dream - if someone had told her such a thing two weeks ago, she would probably have laughed at the other person all day long.

This made Gu Yi feel like he was walking on cotton, with a vague sense of unreality.

"I said, ability is what I value."

Xu Shi laughed and said, "And I have to admit that you are the most skilled hacker I have ever seen."

Not to mention that he is an "Upgrader" hacker with specialized superpowers.

Of course, Gu Yi's abilities had been passed on to him a long time ago, and they were exactly the same as in the original novel.

"Data supercomputing" - specifically manifested in the extraordinary learning ability in information technology and a high degree of personal concentration.

In other words, a born genius hacker.

In fact, she had awakened her special powers several years ago. Otherwise, she would not have been able to make most of the companies in Night City go around in circles by herself.

However, she herself was not aware of this, and due to the pursuit by the Inspection Bureau, her abilities grew relatively slowly.

But for now, it’s enough.

And if I remember correctly, after experiencing "re-upgrade" in the middle of the plot, she alone was enough to fight against more than a dozen AI programs with super high computing power.

"But...are you really confident in leaving this matter to me?"

Miss Black Rabbit blinked and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will do something bad behind your back?"

"I'm sure you won't do that."

As soon as these words came out, the playfulness on Xu Shi's face suddenly disappeared, and he became serious and earnest, "Or do you really want to stay in the gutter for the rest of your life as a wanted criminal?"

……

Gu Yi fell silent after hearing this. These words really touched her heart.

The days before were quite exciting, but hiding from the Inspection Bureau’s raids was not a big deal.

She has to be careful in everything she does, and everyone looks like a plainclothes officer... That's how she got her fear of crowds.

And she suddenly realized one thing - about her identity as "Black Rabbit", Xu Shi seemed to have never mentioned it to outsiders.
