Chapter 182: Debt of Conscience
There was an eerie silence in the office, and Ye Junya pondered and deliberated before speaking: "Dad thinks that your management itself may be a little negligent, and the scale now is different from when you first took over, and it has more than doubled in terms of the number of branches and staffing over the years, right?" As far as I know, it's still up to you, and when this happens, it's inevitable that you'll be overwhelmed, so ......"
Ye Shucheng held the smoke in his mouth, and his eyes narrowed to look at Ye Junya, that gaze was like a sharp knife, making her unable to speak.
He took off his cigarette and smiled coldly.
Ye Junya's words were tactful, and she went around for a long time.
"So what?" He asked slowly.
Ye Junya twisted her eyebrows, her heart was crossed, and she looked at him, "So you may need help." ”
"I'm not alone in management, and when I need help, I naturally turn to other executives for help."
"Really?" Ye Junya couldn't help it, "You and I both know that you are not the kind of person who will ask others for help at all, and I heard that Yang Yan, the general manager of Media Asia, is about to leave, what is he, is he to blame for leaving after the information leakage?" You can't approve this kind of resignation, or you'll ......"
"He's not taking the blame for leaving," he frowned, "for other reasons." ”
Ye Junya was a little surprised, "Didn't the information leak out of him?" ”
Ye Shucheng lowered his head, "No. ”
Ye Junya was a little incredulous, "Why aren't you in a hurry at all, did you call the police to file a case?" ”
"The information is hanging on the dark web, even if it is called to the police, it is difficult to trace the source," he looked out of his cigarette, "At present, I have found a channel to buy all the information to reduce the impact in the later stage, and now the first is crisis public relations to deal with customer questions." ”
"How to deal with it?" Ye Junyan's voice became sharp, "What the hell do you think, customer information leakage is just that, hanging it on the dark web for sale is clearly a financial crime!" Are you just letting the culprits go unpunished? ”
Ye Shucheng lowered his head and pressed his eyebrows, "I think we should deal with the current crisis first, what if we call the police?" It's just a formality, the cases involved in the dark web, not to mention financial crimes, even bloody live broadcasts and buying homicides, the police are helpless, and it is just a waste of time to pursue them now. ”
"You ......" Ye Jun was speechless angrily.
Although there are some facts in what Ye Shucheng said that it must be admitted that dark web crimes are indeed difficult to trace, but his composure still makes her feel unbelievable, shouldn't she call the police first when this kind of thing happens?
It took a few seconds for her to speak, "The way you deal with the problem itself is problematic, normal people will call the police as soon as possible in this case, and at the same time do crisis public relations, so as to give an explanation to the customers who came to make trouble, I think Yang Yan resigned, you probably can't do this, Shucheng ......"
She clenched her fists and softened her tone, "Let me help you, Yang Yan is gone, you are alone now, you can't resist, I can help you deal with this crisis." ”
The corners of Ye Shucheng's lips twitched, and his expression showed a little boring.
Every time, Ye Junya is like this, if there is any trouble, she immediately runs over, alternating between cold and hot faces, either going around the bend to accuse him of poor management, or bitterly saying that she wants to help.
He said, "There's no need, I can handle it myself." ”
Ye Junya was stunned for a moment, she said that there were so many things, and she was unwilling to be blocked back by him with a simple single sentence.
The relationship between Ye Shucheng and her family has never eased, and the relationship with her has always been complicated and embarrassing, resulting in some things she wants to say and can't say them unscrupulously.
He is very annoying, cold-blooded, and arrogant, but he is also the one who has allowed her to survive so far.
Since she couldn't directly enter the management system, she could only continue to detour around the corner, was silent for a moment, and then spoke: "I understand that you are wary of me, I don't embarrass you, after all, it is our Ye family business, and I can't sit idly by, so let's do it, you continue to do crisis public relations, I will coordinate with the police, file a case for investigation as soon as possible, and give the customer a clear explanation." ”
Ye Shucheng frowned and lowered his head, his stomach ached faintly, he pressed it with his hand, and replied: "You know that customers don't care about how information is leaked now, they are only worried about whether it will cause other impacts on their company, so the first task is to cut off the source of information leakage and make up for their losses." ”
Ye Junyan stared at him directly, her tone confused, "You just don't want to call the police to investigate...... Why? ”
He looked up at her deeply, "I just don't think there's any need to do something meaningless." ”
"How could it be pointless? After you figure it out, you can prevent similar situations from happening, otherwise how do you explain it to the customer? ”
He looked a little anxious, and Ye Junya was very difficult.
"It's not going to happen again." He said decisively, "At present, I am explaining the re-establishment of the firewall of the entire group's customer management system on the grounds of system vulnerabilities and hacking. ”
Ye Jun looked at him fixedly, for a few seconds, and then inferred: "You know how the information was leaked. ”
He pressed his eyebrows and did not speak.
Ye Junya asked, "What are you doing?" Do you know how serious it is this time? ”
"I know better than you do."
Ye Junyan's expression turned cold, "What the hell did you have in mind?" ”
He remained silent.
"Are you sure you don't want me to help?"
He finally had a reaction, "No. ”
"You'll regret it."
Leaving these words, Ye Junyan walked out angrily, and just opened the door and bumped into someone, An Ziyan was looking outside, as if he was about to raise his hand and knock on the door.
She was annoyed, where did she still have the heart to say hello, and she passed by An Ziyan without turning her face.
An Ziyan pursed his lips, didn't care too much, took the door and went straight to Ye Shucheng, sat down on the chair on the side of the desk, and sighed lightly: "The Ye family is too anxious, how long has it been, and it has already come to the door?" Faster than I thought. ”
Ye Shucheng gently rubbed his stomach with his hand and took a deep breath, "It's Ye Junya who can't hold her breath, and Ye Jin and Ye Xian put too much pressure on her, so she always runs the fastest, but in the end she's just an errand runner." ”
An Ziyan scratched her head, "What did she just say?" ”
"It's the same old way, saying that I don't manage it well," Ye Shucheng paused, still seemed uncomfortable, picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip, "Ask me how to solve it, and enthusiastically suggest that she can help and be responsible for the investigation of information leakage." ”
An Ziyan nodded "oh", her eyes rolled, "What does she mean, she wants you to call the police?" ”
Ye Shucheng didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.
"I originally wanted to suggest it...... " An Ziyan said, bumped into Ye Shucheng's gaze, and smiled, "But I know it's nonsense, and you definitely won't do it." ”
"No, I'll call the police."
An Ziyan was stunned, thinking that he had misheard, "What did you say?" ”
"Even if Ye Junya doesn't make trouble, I will call the police," he said in a deep voice, as if he had already made a plan, "If you don't call the police, someone will be suspicious, and the dark web crime police is just a formality, and there are very few results from the investigation, and Hengyi's people will not be stupid enough to expose themselves, the reason why I don't let Ye Junya do this, but because I'm just annoying her, I don't plan to let the Ye family interfere, come." ”
An Ziyan was amazed, "Go around such a big circle to protect Su Nian, the three young ......"
After a pause, he continued, "I really doubt that one day Su Nian will do something to kill people and set fires, and you will have to block her in front." ”
Ye Shucheng didn't speak, his eyebrows furrowed, as if he was thinking.
And An Ziyan still couldn't help but talk more, "Even if you want to help Hengyi deal with you, you can grab the order after taking the information to modify their policies and agreements, and hang it directly on the dark web, she did it this time, and she didn't care about your life or death at all, I think you should still think more about yourself, her kind of woman who is full of scheming in the city government will be a disaster for thousands of years, and you don't have to hide it for ......her at all."
Before he finished speaking, Ye Shucheng had already glared at him.
An Ziyan stuck out his tongue and shut up.
……
Su Nian was in a trance for the rest of the time, and after crying, she went to the bathroom to wash her face with cold water, and then returned to the office, Qiao Ye saw that her eyes were red, and asked cautiously: "Sister Su...... What happened to you? ”
"It's fine." She shook her head, looked at the pile of assessment forms on the desk, and said tiredly, "Can you put the assessment first?" I'm tired and I want to take a break. ”
"But these must be done before Mr. Yu comes back......"
Su Nian grabbed a handful of hair irritably.
There wasn't even a little time left for her to indulge her weakness, and she picked up the assessment form, "Then go on, next." ”
The later assessment was basically Qiao Ye helping her ask questions, her mind was always in chaos, and she finally coped with it, and she didn't eat at noon, so she sat on the chair in a daze and looked out the window.
She slowly recalled in her mind the time she had spent with Ye Shucheng in those days, and she couldn't remember when he found out about her attempt.
In fact, even she herself didn't make up her mind to do this kind of thing at first, after all, she was cornered by this means, she was too anxious, and wanted to solve Hengyi's embarrassing situation as soon as possible, it happened that Ye Shucheng took the initiative to come to the door, so she listened to Meng Yiping, everything for her, except for her own inner struggle, everything else came naturally.
She didn't even waste much effort.
She originally thought that even if she brought the information, it would only be to adjust Hengyi's policies and contracts according to the internal situation of Media Asia, so as to achieve the purpose of signing the contract, but she never expected that Meng Yiping would want Media Asia to be unable to turn over.
However, it's not just Huanya, she feels that she can't turn over anymore.
The information is used in a low-key manner, and it is completely different from being hung on the Internet, stealing information is a crime, and Meng Yiping is expanding her crime to a level where she can't deal with the aftermath at all.
If Ye Shucheng was willing to call the police and tell the truth, she didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be.
She lowered her head, and her eyes touched the small silver lighter in her palm, the birthday gift that Ye Shucheng had given her in advance.
She remembered that the night he had lingered again, he had called her back, and he said that he would forgive her whatever she had done.
She clenched the lighter in her hand, her vision became hazy again, and she quickly closed it.
In the afternoon, Su Nian went to the airport with Meng Yiping to pick up Yu Kun according to the original plan.
Meng Yiping was driving in front, she bought a bottle of ice water and lay weakly in the back seat, applying ice water to her eyes.
Meng Yiping glanced in the rearview mirror of the car, and after a while, he spoke: "If you continue to look like this, Yu will always be suspicious." ”
After a pause, "You also know Mr. Yu's style, he is more conservative, if he knows about this kind of radical method, it will be very troublesome, and he regards you as a treasure in the palm of his hand, if he knows that you did it, I'm afraid it will ......"
Su Nian moved slightly, for a few seconds, and then spoke up: "Meng Yiping, you don't think it's too much to do this kind of thing?" You're clearly using me. ”
Meng Yiping was stunned for a moment, and then, the corners of his lips hooked up a mocking arc, "Now you want to fight?" ”
"I know that taking the information itself is a crime, and I cooperate with you because I want to help Hengyi, but you put the information on the Internet, what if the police come to the door?"
"I said the hacker I was looking for was reliable, it wouldn't be dangerous, and what kind of place was the dark web? Have the police cracked cases on the dark web for so many years? ”
"But don't forget, Ye Shucheng knows that I used his computer."
"He's a man, the president, as far as I know, it's impossible for someone like him to pull down his face and tell the police that a woman took the information from him, both clues are broken, eve, you are safe."
"No......" she took a deep breath, "I can't escape the debt of conscience, he watched me take the information, he ......"
Meng Yiping said: "This is a good thing, it seems that he still has feelings for you, so it is even more impossible to provide clues to the police." ”
Su Nian was silent for a few seconds, "Meng Yiping, you only have interests in your eyes, don't you have a heart?" ”
The car stopped in front of the red light, he frowned and glanced at the rearview mirror, and said lightly: "Probably not." ”
"Have you ever liked someone?"
"I don't know what liking is."
She suddenly laughed, "Why should I talk nonsense with you ...... stone"
Meng Yiping looked useless, and only continued indifferently: "Eve, you either be a bad person completely, or you should be firm at the beginning, now there is no turning back, you can only torture yourself if you continue to do this, I have already thought about the consequences of this matter, if there is a case that you can say that I did it, you will be fine, but your heart disease needs to be overcome by yourself, I don't want you to drag the company back." ”
Su Nian sneered and didn't say anything.
In the past, some people said that Meng Yiping was like a robot, and she didn't think it was so exaggerated, but now it seems that it is not an exaggeration at all.
After that, neither of them spoke again, and was silent all the way to the airport.
The airport was full of people, and she felt a headache, and her legs and feet were weak when she stood there.
The flight was delayed, and the two of them waited at the exit for more than an hour before they saw Yu Kun from the crowd swarming out of it, Su Nian suppressed his emotions and squeezed out a smile and was about to say hello, but his eyes were fixed on the small figure of Yu Kun's hand.
Mianmian jumped and waved her hands excitedly, "Mom! ”
Su Nian's eyes widened until Yu Kun pulled Mianmian to stop in front of her.
Mianmian suddenly rushed over and hugged her leg and called her mother, and she came back to her senses.
Looking down, the little girl was smiling brightly.
Yu Kun touched his head and explained, "Mianmian is anxious over there, so ...... You see that such a young child is quite pitiful not to be by his mother's side for so long, right? That's why I brought it here......"
Su Nian was incredulous, "Dad, why don't you discuss it with me?" ”
Mianmian tugged at the corners of her clothes, and pitifully raised her head and asked, "Doesn't Mom want me to come and see you?" ”
A pair of big eyes blinked, and the touching appearance made people's hearts soft, Su Nian couldn't say anything hard, and his voice softened, "No, it's ...... What a surprise......"
It's so scary.
Mianmian smirked, "I said I was going to give you a surprise!" Grandpa said that you must be angry, and he didn't want to take me with him! ”
As he spoke, he was a little angry, "You all want to leave me there, how can you take the child?" ”
The appearance of twisting his eyebrows seemed to be blaming, Su Nianhe was stunned, and then he and Yu Kun were amused.
She stroked her hair, "It's not that I refuse to bring you here, I'm afraid you won't be used here." ”
Mianmian looked around, full of curiosity, "This is where you and your grandfather grew up......
Mianmian has never returned to China, was born in the United States, and now it is the first time to come to China, and it is also the first time to come to Jincheng.
On the way back, the little girl kept looking out of the car window, and when she arrived in the city, she began to chatter, saying that the architecture here is different from the United States.
Su Nian's smile was a little stiff, his mind was still messy, even if he saw Mianmian, he still couldn't get rid of those troubles.
Mianmian took her hand, saw that she was absent-minded, and asked, "Mom, are you unhappy?" ”
She shook her head and said bitterly, "No. ”
"You're not happy to see me?"
She was stunned for a moment, and her hand slowly stroked her cheeks.
The baby's fat cheeks were fleshy, and the tip of her nose was astringent, and she looked at the soft face steadily.
is just over three years old, and her facial features have not grown, but there are vague shadows of Ye Shucheng between her eyebrows and eyes, although it is not obvious, but she can distinguish it.
Her lips moved, "No, Mommy was glad to see you." ”
Yu Kun also sensitively sensed that Su Nian's mood was not right, but Mianmian was there, and he didn't ask too much, the group drove back to the house, tossing all the way, Su Nian first settled Mianmian to rest in his bedroom.
After coming out, Yu Kun waited outside, saw her and asked, "Mianmian is asleep?" ”
She nodded.
Yu Kun hesitated, "Are you unhappy because I brought Mianmian back?" ”
She was a little tired and shook her head.
"I saw the news yesterday that something happened to Media Asia."
She took a few steps forward and leaned against the wall, "yes, customer information leaked. ”
"Xiao Meng probably told me about the situation just now."
Su Nianxin mentioned, "What did you say?" ”
"Let's just say that the customers over there are making a lot of noise now,.,," Yu Kun sighed, "their head is not good, and now this kind of thing is happening, financial credit is originally done with reputation, and even this little sense of security cannot be given to customers, and it will be difficult to develop in this industry in the future." ”
Her face turned pale and she bowed her head.
Meng Yiping is quite good at avoiding the important and light.
Yu Kun said again: "Actually, I think so, now we can take advantage of this opportunity, even if you can survive, you will definitely not be able to get up in the next few years, so I want you to stay in Jincheng for a while." ”
Her fingers tightened unconsciously, and she heard Yu Kun continue: "Now Mianmian is also here, and it won't be the same as before, and you still have to worry about Mianmian, we will all stay here and do a good job of the Jincheng branch first." ”
She shook her head, "Dad......"
The voice was weak, and after a while, he said, "I'm very tired now, can you let me take a break?" I really don't want to talk about this right now. ”
Yu Kun saw that her face was pale and frowned, "Are you unwell?" ”
"I ......" she paused, put her hand on her forehead, and took a few steps back, "It's okay, I'm just tired, I want to rest, I want to rest......"
Seeing this, Yu Kun didn't dare to force it anymore, "Okay, then you go and accompany Mianmian." ”
She turned back into the bedroom, lay on the bed but couldn't sleep, and looked at Mianmian.
It's so nice for a child, as soon as I fall asleep, I get rid of my tiredness, and I don't have any worries.
All she could think of was Ye Shucheng's face, and the words he had said echoed in her mind over and over again, she was worried about him, but she didn't even have the courage to call him now.
She closed her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks again.
Meng Yiping's words are right, she is not a good person, but she is not a bad person completely, she can't get rid of the condemnation of her conscience, she can't help but worry about Ye Shucheng.
Mianmian slept well, and only got up at eight o'clock in the evening, shouting that he was hungry, the cook cooked and brought it to the table, and Yu Kun called Meng Yiping to eat together, and the table was finally lively.
Yu Kun has been talking to Meng Yiping about things at work, Su Nian is a little numb, eating mechanically, Mianmian has never seen so many Chinese dishes, one by one to Su Nian, and then making comments while eating.
Su Nian smiled perfunctorily occasionally, but fortunately, Mianmian was a child after all, and she was quite good at entertaining herself, and she didn't seem to care about her reaction.
Su Nian's mobile phone on the table suddenly vibrate, she exhaled, put down the bowl in her hand and took it to take a look, and her face changed.
On the screen is the name of Yeshu City.
She glanced at Yu Kun and Meng Yiping, and stood up, "I'll answer the phone." ”
Yu Kun didn't care too much, only Meng Yiping looked at her back meaningfully and walked away.
She walked all the way to the corner under the porch outside the house, and then pressed the answer with her shaking hand and put the phone to her ear.
Her heart was beating fast, her hands were even shaking, and she heard silence on the other end of the phone.
This time, she spoke first: "...... Speak......"
When the words came out, I found that my voice trembled.
A chuckle overflowed from there, and Ye Shucheng's deep voice came, "I was supposed to ...... Thought you wouldn't pick up. ”
After a pause, "It's good that you're still willing to take it." ”
Her nose was sore, and tears were rolling in her eyes again.
She could hear a deep tiredness in his voice, and she knew he was terrible now.
I used to feel that every time he said sorry, he was pretending, and three words wanted to cover up all the past hurts, how could it be?
So now, the word "I'm sorry" has been brewed thousands of times in her heart, and she can't say it.
"I heard that Mr. Yu is back." He said.
She sniffled, trying to calm her voice, "Hmm. ”
"We can't meet, can I call you?"
Tears were still streaming down her face, and there was an uncontrollable low whimper in her throat.
There was a pause, "Are you crying?" ”
She hurriedly wiped her tears, "No ......"
The two words were exposed, and the voice was full of crying.
"Don't cry......," he got anxious, "crying for what?" ”
