Chapter 7: The Hidden Master
Zhao Zhijie came to the appointed place, a quiet open-air café. Graceful jazz music floated in the air, and a few people sat in the café, leisurely drinking coffee.
The communication with the "Black Widow" last night was quite smooth, Zhao Zhijie thought that he was going to go far this time, but what he didn't expect was that the "Black Widow" was also in Mingcheng.
The Internet is really a magical thing, the end of the world is turned into the end of the world, and strangers who don't know each other can become the most familiar friends.
Zhao Zhijie didn't expect that "Black Widow" could agree to meet him so happily, and he only revealed his identity as a police officer to "Black Widow" for the first time yesterday. He was mentally prepared to lose this friend, after all, one is black and the other is white, if the "black widow" chooses to disappear after knowing that he is a policeman, it is also human nature, he can understand.
But "Black Widow" is very indifferent to his identity, as if he has known it for a long time. Zhao Zhijie recalled carefully for a long time, he didn't remember that he had told "Black Widow" that he was a policeman before, and he didn't think that he had exposed his identity when he was playing with "Black Widow" before. Zhao Zhijie didn't understand why "Black Widow" was so calm, he felt that maybe "Black Widow" didn't know his identity in advance, but he just didn't care about his identity as a policeman.
Zhao Zhijie shook his head: "Don't think about it so much, we're going to meet soon, just ask him directly when the time comes, it seems that the attack level of 'Black Widow' is even better than I imagined." Old friend, I'm coming!"
The two of them only agreed on the place and time of meeting yesterday, but did not agree on the dress when they met, "Black Widow" said to Zhao Zhijie that everyone is so fateful, they will immediately recognize each other when they see each other, but Zhao Zhijie looked around, and for a while he still couldn't identify which one was the "Black Widow".
It's already the appointed time, Zhao Zhijie feels that "Black Widow" shouldn't miss the appointment, he should already be here. Zhao Zhijie looked around, he thought to himself: "Is it the one in front of me who wears black-rimmed glasses and uses an Apple computer to surf the Internet?" Not quite like that, looking at the web he is browsing is more like doing finance, and the female companion next to him also shows that he can't be a 'black widow'." ”
"Is that the bald man on the left drinking coffee? The image is in line with the public impression of an IT man, but looking at the indifferent woman opposite him, he is more like he is here for a blind date. The 'Black Widow' should have come alone, and those who come in groups of three or two can be eliminated first. That's basically out of the scope of consideration now. ”
Zhao Zhijie was a little distressed, why didn't he make an appointment in advance to meet and dress? After all, they had never met, and it was really difficult to meet by fate.
Zhao Zhijie glanced back and forth, but did not recognize which one was the "black widow". Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a man sitting in the corner, alone there drinking coffee.
Zhao Zhijie walked straight over and sat down opposite the person.
Looking at the fair-skinned woman in front of him in a black dress, Zhao Zhijie showed a pleasant smile, he didn't expect the answer to be so simple, Zhao Zhijie still thought too much about himself. He smiled and said to the woman: "Hello 'Black Widow', I am Zhao Zhijie, please take care of me when we meet for the first time." ”
The woman in black looked down at her dress, raised her head to look at Zhao Zhijie and said, "I just got divorced, not widowed, but I just treat him as dead." So there's nothing wrong with you calling me 'Black Widow'. The way you greet each other is very special, have you always accosted girls like this before? ”
Zhao Zhijie was a little confused, could it be that he recognized the wrong person? He calmed down for a moment and continued to say to the woman: "I originally thought you were a man, but I didn't expect you to be really a woman, or a beauty, as the name suggests, you are really a 'black widow'!"
The woman in black looked at Zhao Zhijie, and then said to him with a sullen face: "Is there something wrong with your brain?" After speaking, she stood up and turned her head to leave, leaving Zhao Zhijie with a confused face sitting there stupidly.
Zhao Zhijie didn't understand why she was so angry all of a sudden, could it really be that she had recognized the wrong person? But there was no one else here who could be a "black widow".
Zhao Zhijie was still in a daze, when he suddenly felt someone tap him on the shoulder, turned his head, and a figure shook in front of him, and a young girl in a red floral pleated skirt sat opposite him.
The girl hooked Zhao Zhijie with provocative eyes, and said with a smile: "The vision is good, it's beautiful, it's a beauty, it's just that your pick-up skills are too poor, and you ran away from popularity without two sentences, seeing that you are not too young, won't you still be single?" After speaking, the woman laughed happily in the seat.
Zhao Zhijie said embarrassedly: "I thought it was you, you were late? And why are you wearing red clothes?"
The girl pretended to be angry and said to Zhao Zhijie: "I'm a girl, can't I be a little late?" Besides, it's you who want to see me, and it's not that I want to see you, so it's normal for you to wait. The girl fell back, leaned back in her seat, folded her hands over her chest, and continued: "Who ordered me to wear black?
Looking at the puffing "Black Widow", Zhao Zhijie was also embarrassed and didn't dare to look at it directly, he said to the "Black Widow": "I'm sorry, I'm having a habit of thinking." Don't be angry, I'll give you coffee. ”
"Black Widow" instantly turned cloudy and sunny: "Okay, I want a latte." ”
Zhao Zhijie called the waiter and ordered two lattes.
While drinking coffee, Zhao Zhijie asked "Black Widow": "I've known you for so long, and I still don't know your name, can you tell me?"
"Black Widow" shook her head: "Zhao Zhijie, you really don't know how to deal with people, shouldn't you report your home before asking someone else's name?"
Zhao Zhijie was stunned for a moment, and said again: "I'm sorry, my name is Zhao Zhijie." ”
"Black Widow" replied: "I know, my name is Li Weiwei, please take care of me when we meet for the first time." After speaking, he stretched out his hand to Zhao Zhijie and took the initiative to shake his hand.
Zhao Zhijie looked at Li Weiwei, he felt incredible, the hacker master who has been fighting against him for so many years is actually such a little girl, people can't look like it is really true, just from the appearance, who would associate the brightly dressed and sweet-looking girl in front of him with a hacker?
Li Weiwei looked at Zhao Zhijie staring at herself motionlessly, feeling funny, she shook her hand in front of Zhao Zhijie's eyes: "What do you think? I won't come out to accompany you in a daze, right?" If you have anything to say, please say it. ”
Zhao Zhijie then said: "I called you out today to discuss something with you, I told you yesterday that I am a police officer, and now our team is recruiting people, and we need a skilled hacker, you are the most suitable person I can think of, I hope you can get involved." ”
Li Weiwei said bluntly: "I refuse." ”
Zhao Zhijie asked: "You don't even ask what this team is for, and you can refuse what you need to do? Your skills are very good, and this team is to use your technology to fight crime." ”
Zhao Zhijie paused: "In the group, you can use your abilities reasonably and legally, and you can also contribute to society." ”
"I refuse. Li Weiwei took a sip of coffee and said lightly: "Don't tell me anything about social contributions, you are a policeman, I am not, and I don't like to be tied, I am used to freedom." It's good now, I want to practice and just go to companies that need attack testing, why do you want to be in your group. ”
Zhao Zhijie hurriedly said: "You won't be constrained, this group is different from the usual police department, the people in our group are very interesting, you will be very happy in the group, and our group will not let you work voluntarily, we will pay you a salary." ”
Li Weiwei couldn't help laughing: "Do you think it's appropriate for you to tempt me with your salary? Do you think I'm short of money?"
Zhao Zhijie was a little embarrassed, he knew that Li Weiwei was different from him, and it was indeed inappropriate to say that the salary was inappropriate. Looking at her dress and her high price, you can know that Li Weiwei is not a person who is short of money, and with her technical level, Zhao Zhijie knows that it should be easy for her even if she wants to make money.
Zhao Zhijie continued: "I still hope you think about it, this group is really suitable for you. And fighting crime and getting justice is pretty much to your liking, right? Aren't you a 'black widow'? Superheroes should do justice. ”
Li Weiwei laughed again: "Yo, yes, I've seen the Avengers! You're not the Avengers. ”
Zhao Zhijie said: "It's not the Avengers, but it's the Justice League." Now on behalf of our Justice League, I sincerely extend an invitation to you, and I hope you will join. ”
Li Weiwei smiled even more happily: "You are quite good at naming names, but I am really not interested in the police, I still like my current life." After speaking, Li Weiwei stood up and prepared to leave.
Zhao Zhijie didn't keep Li Weiwei, but he still couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart: "You already knew that I was a policeman, right?
Li Weiwei smiled mischievously at Zhao Zhijie: "Are you very tight on funds?
Zhao Zhijie sat there and watched Li Weiwei's back, he once again felt sorry for not being able to recruit Li Weiwei into the group, and at the same time regretted his carelessness in the technical confrontation.
As soon as Li Weiwei returned to her office, Secretary Zhou came and knocked on the door.
"Mr. Li, this is our company's performance appraisal this month, please sign it. ”
"Oh, okay. ”
"There's also a list of personnel adjustments for this month, you can take a look. ”
"Oh, okay. ”
"You still have a group meeting to attend this afternoon, the time is 16:00, I will come over to remind you then, Manager Liu of the personnel department wants to talk to you about the new team building, I will arrange it for you to 15:00, Manager Zhao of the internal audit department wants to discuss with you this year's audit matters, I arranged it at 15:30, Manager Zhang of the marketing department wants to talk to you about the budget of the marketing department this year, I am scheduled at 17:30, do you need to adjust?"
"No need. ”
"Then I'll go out first, and then you can call me if you have something. ”
"Oh, okay. ”
As the general manager of a department store, "oh", "okay", and "no need" are the three words that Li Weiwei says the most every day.
Li Weiwei studied business administration in college, but she was not interested in business administration, she liked computers, and when she was in college, she was typing code, writing programs, and looking for loopholes in the dormitory every day, or she went to the computer school to take classes, and business administration became her minor subject.
When she first graduated, she went to work as a test engineer in a foreign-funded software company in Tanghua City. But the family is not satisfied with her choice, as the pearl of the family, her father, mother, brother, and sister don't want her to go so far away, and they urge her to go back to Mingcheng every once in a while, so they often quarrel over the phone.
A year ago, she couldn't withstand the persuasion of her family and finally returned to Mingcheng from Tanghua. Her father Li Shaoxian is the chairman of a large group in Mingcheng, as soon as she returns to Mingcheng, her father will arrange for her to work in the group's subsidiary, she has no objection, although she is not interested in inheriting her father's business at all, but since she has returned to Mingcheng, she has no other ideas.
Since her return, she has rotated three subsidiaries, all of which have been appointed as general managers. Nominally the general manager, in fact, it's just a rag doll, which is placed there as a decoration. The specific things are all done by her subordinates, and the family doesn't expect her to do much work, so she is assigned a right-hand man every time, all she has to do is to familiarize herself with the company's business situation and listen to the bigwigs of those departments to preach and teach her.
But Li Weiwei is not happy, it is not a position she can hold, her daily itinerary is full of arrangements by her secretary, she is like a marionette, she is arranged to go and go, and there is no room for her own choice. Only the evening time is the happiest for her, she can continue to do what she loves, to be a hacker who comes and goes without a trace, and find her own freedom.
She has invaded every company in the group, many companies in Mingcheng, and even some large companies in Jinghua have been hacked by her, and she often goes to participate in attack tests organized by some network security companies, but this kind of opportunity is still too few for her. She wasn't trying to steal any data or do any damage, she just wanted to enjoy the pleasure of being free to come and go.
Zhao Zhijie can be regarded as Li Weiwei's old friend, when she was a test engineer, she liked to have a technical confrontation with this friend she met on the Internet, she attacked, and Zhao Zhijie defended and traced the source. She thinks that Zhao Zhijie's security precautions are very bad, although the level of technicians in some companies is much higher, but compared to her, it is stretched, and she is often broken by her in an hour or two, but Zhao Zhijie's traceability technology is first-class, no matter how he hides, he can always find traces of his invasion, fortunately, his attack ability is average, and he often knows how to lock his final position between words, but he can't even break through the first line of defense.
Li Weiwei spent the whole afternoon in a muddy nightmare, and what Zhao Zhijie said to herself has been lingering in Li Weiwei's mind.
"Justice League?" Li Weiwei couldn't help but think, "It should be fun, just like a superhero." Although he doesn't have the sharpness of 'Black Widow', he is more powerful than 'Black Widow' in the online world. ”
Li Weiwei's absent-minded appearance was seen by Secretary Zhou, an old subordinate of the Li family, and an old friend. She loves and hates this new general manager. Hate because of her arrival, her original position as general manager is gone, and she has become a secretary instead.
In Li Shaoxian's words, she is called a secretary, but she is actually a manager. Just help him bring Vivi. But she still suffered a lot of grievances. In the past, everyone called her "Mr. Zhou" when she went out to negotiate business, but now she has become "Secretary Zhou", and the title is full of ridicule; the subordinates who nodded before are gone, and instead many people secretly say that she is the old lover of the boss who was beaten into the cold palace, and she has been replaced by a little lover; even those department managers have begun to raise their eyebrows against her.
Love is because this quirky little girl grew up by herself, and when she was young, she followed her every day like a fart, and Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhou called herself every day. Of course, Secretary Zhou has more love for Li Weiwei.
Now seeing Li Weiwei's dejected appearance, Secretary Zhou feels a little sorry for her, she was originally a little girl who laughed every day, but she was not tied to the position of general manager, and she did the work she was reluctant to do and couldn't do every day, and she was like sitting on pins and needles every day.
"Mr. Li, I'm off work, I don't have any other work tonight, we can go home early." Secretary Zhou said to Li Weiwei.
"Oh, okay. Li Weiwei replied absent-mindedly.
"What's wrong with you today, as soon as you come back in the afternoon, you look thoughtful, what's going on?" Secretary Zhou couldn't help but ask.
Seeing that there was no one around, Li Weiwei said to Secretary Zhou: "Aunt Zhou, I went to meet an old friend today, it was very fun, he told me what group he wanted me to join, and he also said that the group was the Justice League, and he wanted to invite me to join and let me be a superhero to do justice, do you think it's fun?"
Secretary Zhou looked at Li Weiwei's radiant appearance, and she felt that Li Weiwei had not been so happy to see her since Tang Hua came back. Secretary Zhou said to Li Weiwei: "Then what are you hesitating about? Miss Superman." ”
Li Weiwei said happily: "Yes, Justice League, it's fun!" In an instant, she became annoyed again: "But can they agree to my father?" It must be denied by them, in their eyes, I am a big lady, and it is only natural to work in the group, and I will not support me when I go to work outside. ”
Secretary Zhou asked again, "Then do you want to go?"
Li Weiwei nodded: "Well, I want to go and see if it's really as interesting as he said." ”
"Then let's go!" Secretary Zhou looked at Li Weiwei gently: "Follow your heart and do it, I will help you hide it from you in your family first, and then you will go and talk to the family by yourself when you really make a decision." ”
"Really, will you really help me? Then I'm really going, and you're going to keep it a secret for me?" Li Weiwei said with a look of anticipation.
"Well, go ahead. Secretary Zhou nodded at Li Weiwei.
Looking at Li Weiwei, who was leaving happily, Secretary Zhou couldn't help but shake his head: "Lao Li, this time you can make this child miserable." ”
Li Weiwei rushed out of the company, stood outside the company and took out her mobile phone. She held back the cheers in her heart and called Zhao Zhijie.
"Hello, who?"
"Zhao Zhijie, I'm Li Weiwei. Li Weiwei pretended to be calm and said, "Is your Justice League really as good as you say, or are you lying to me?"
"I'm not lying to you, our group is really special, it's a pleasure to work with us, and I really hope you'll join us. ”
Li Weiwei still said with certainty: "I didn't promise you to join any group. I've just been free lately, and I'm curious to see if your group is as special as you say. ”
"Okay, as long as you're willing to join, you can say anything, and I'll call our team leader. A voice of joy came from the other end of the phone.
"I'm just saying to check it out, not to join your group, don't get so excited. Li Weiwei heard Zhao Zhijie say that she would immediately call the team leader to tell her about joining, and hurriedly corrected Zhao Zhijie.
"I know, I know, as long as you are willing to come, I am sure that our team leader will be very happy to hear this good news. Wait a minute, I'll give our team leader a call to tell him the good news, and I'll call you later. After speaking, Zhao Zhijie hung up the phone.
Li Weiwei listened to the busy tone on the phone, a little overwhelmed, and then a happy smile appeared on her face again. "I didn't expect him to be an anxious person. Li Weiwei muttered.
After less than ten minutes, Zhao Zhijie called and said: "Li Weiwei, I am Zhao Zhijie, I told our team leader, he sincerely welcomes you to come to our group for inspection, do you have time tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow? Yes, I don't have anything to do. Li Weiwei said.
"Then we'll see you at Mingcheng University at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, see you or leave!" Zhao Zhijie said.
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow then. ”
"Okay, see you tomorrow. ”
Li Weiwei could feel Zhao Zhijie on the other end of the phone excited. She herself was ecstatic. The thought of tomorrow's meeting fills her heart with joy.
Looking at the sky dyed red by the setting sun and the refreshing breeze, Li Weiwei felt extremely happy, this was the first day she was so happy since she returned to Mingcheng. "Today is a good day, and the weather tomorrow should be very good!" Li Weiwei said to herself.
She hummed a melody in her mouth, raised her hands, danced, and left the company in circles.
