Chapter 56: Jiang Tianxiang Peed His Pants
Xiao Ling cried, as if the emotions she had suppressed for six years were finally released… Her shoulders trembled, and she sobbed.
Lin Banxia looked at her with disgust, listening to her tearful confession. Her own heart, riddled with holes, ached so badly she couldn’t breathe, and her tears finally broke the dam.
The next day, Jiang Corporation.
In the president’s office, Jiang Tianxiang hadn’t arrived yet. The early-arriving assistant had just turned on his computer when he noticed something strange.
His eyes widened! He held his breath!
The three important project cooperation plans that were supposed to be discussed with a major client today, the documents were blank! This was half a year’s worth of hard work!
He bent over at the table, his legs almost buckling under him.
His trembling fingers gripped the mouse, his eyes wide, “This is impossible!!” His head buzzed.
“What’s impossible?” Just then, Jiang Tianxiang walked in, oblivious to what had happened. “Get ready, Zhang is arriving soon. Once we sign the contract with him, our Jiang Corporation will be able to earn tens of millions.”
The assistant closed the document and tried to open it again, but it was still blank. His legs gave way, and he slumped into the office chair.
Jiang Tianxiang stopped and looked at him, “What’s wrong with you?” He then walked towards him, noticing his pale face and the look of terror in his eyes.
“Jiang… General Manager, it’s not good! Before I left work yesterday, I checked the cooperation project with Zhang! But now, all the plans we’ve been working on for months are gone!” The assistant searched in disbelief.
Jiang Tianxiang, upon hearing this, didn’t believe it at first. He hurried over to take a look at the screen, “Look again!” He thought it was impossible for them to be lost.
“Okay…” The assistant suppressed his panic, but his hand holding the mouse was trembling.
He didn’t look, but as soon as he did… he found that several important documents were all blank! How could so much information be lost at once?
“Lost, lost, all lost, General Manager, all the important information is lost!” The assistant, a tall and imposing man, was sweating profusely from anxiety.
Jiang Tianxiang, who had just sat down at his desk, looked up at him, “…” His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door and entered, “General Manager, Zhang has arrived and is waiting for you in the conference room.” After reporting, he turned and left.
“No backup?” Jiang Tianxiang looked at the assistant, slammed his hand on the table, and glared at him, his face contorted with anger at his stunned expression.
“Jiang… Jiang… General Manager, the backup… also… also… lost.”
Jiang Tianxiang’s legs went weak, and he slumped back into his chair, his eyes wide with disbelief.
After a while, someone else came in to report, “General Manager, Zhang has arrived, you…”
“Get out!” Jiang Tianxiang was in agony. All that lost information was money! Now, with nothing to show him, it was clear that they had no sincerity.
In the current market, people wouldn’t be so forgiving of Jiang Corporation and simply agree to a deal without any information.
That day, Jiang Tianxiang was furious, but his assistant was truly innocent. Finally, he found a tiny clue.
His heart sank, and he dared to speak up, “Mr. Jiang, our system has been hacked… Check your computer, have you lost any important data?”
“Hackers?” Jiang Tianxiang was like he’d heard a new word.
Reminded by his assistant, he quickly checked his computer. 80% of the documents were blank!
“This…” He panicked. “Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”
At this moment, a letter suddenly popped up on the assistant’s computer screen. The content startled him!
“Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang, we have a letter! The hacker sent a letter!” He quickly brought the computer to the president’s desk.
Before Jiang Tianxiang could turn his head, the same letter popped up on his computer! White background, black text, no design, pure provocation –
【Be honest and kind, or I’ll hack your financial system! Transfer all the money to charity! I’ll make you poor!】
These blunt and provocative words almost scared Jiang Tianxiang, an old hand at the game, to pee his pants. He believed the hacker could do it.
“Investigate, investigate for me!” He spoke with the most panicked tone, the most resolute words.
“Yes…” The assistant agreed, but where could he even start?
Around noon, they saw a news article –
The competitor’s company had partnered with the large company they were trying to collaborate with! And according to the leaked information, they were using the plan that Jiang’s Group had been working on for half a year!
“This… This is impossible!” The assistant’s eyes were wider than a bull’s, he couldn’t believe it. “Wanchuan is a small company, how could they have such a powerful hacker? This is theft!”
“Investigate!” Jiang Tianxiang wanted to kill someone.
Soon, more news came out, all about the competitor’s company partnering with their partners, using the plans that Jiang’s Group had painstakingly developed!
Three different companies, so the blame was unclear.
“Did all three companies hire the same hacker?” Jiang Tianxiang was in the open, the enemy in the dark, which made him uneasy. “This matter must be investigated thoroughly. Go abroad and hire the best technicians!”
He was worried that if they couldn’t find the hacker, they might easily transfer the company’s account money in the future.
Then Jiang’s Group would go bankrupt in a matter of minutes.
“Mr. Jiang, hiring technicians abroad, the cost… is not low.” The assistant regained a bit of his sanity.
Jiang Tianxiang could only grit his teeth, “The cost is high, but it’s better than having them transfer the money in our account later!”
“Yes…” The assistant could only quickly arrange to hire technicians abroad.
For the entire day, Jiang Tianxiang was restless, unable to even eat, his appetite completely gone.
At the Yuzhu Villa, Mrs. Zhou (Zhou Auntie) arranged a room for Xiao Ling and confiscated her phone the night before.
Xiao Ling sat in her bedroom for the entire morning. Banxia didn’t come to see her, and no one came in to scold her. She felt a little uncomfortable.
Was she going to be… imprisoned here forever?
Downstairs in the living room.
Banxia wrote a menu and handed it to the Butler Shen. “These are all the dishes Xiao Ling used to love. Make a whole table full for her at lunch.”
“Yes, Madam.” The Butler took the menu and turned to go and prepare.
Banxia was also very considerate. She wanted to give Xiao Ling enough time to think, hoping to persuade her and eventually bring her to her side.
Soon, it was lunchtime. Mrs. Zhou went upstairs to knock on the door and call Xiao Ling down for lunch.
Downstairs in the dining room, Lin Banxia was already sitting at the table waiting. Xiao Ling walked towards her after entering the room. “Miss, hello.” She greeted her softly.
“Sit down.” Banxia’s voice was gentle. She personally served her rice but didn’t look at her.
The steamed osmanthus fish, French caramel pudding on the table were all Xiao Ling’s favorites. Old Mrs. Lin would always have people make some for her.
During the meal, Banxia didn’t say anything else to her. They only talked about the food on the table, hoping she would eat more.
“Thank you, Miss.” Xiao Ling was quite touched. After all these years, Miss Lin still remembered the preferences of a servant like her.
“You’re welcome.” Banxia also picked up her chopsticks. “After you finish, I’ll take you to meet someone.”
Xiao Ling’s fingers holding the chopsticks paused slightly. Her back stiffened slightly, inexplicably feeling a little anxious.
