"Give her a promotion... Are you really sure? Aunt Ning was not surprised by this decision, but asked very calmly as usual.

Although at the banquet the prosthetic spokesperson who had been arranged for a long time was desperately drunk, the reason given was only for the so-called test experiment...

At this point, it is indeed the negligence and negligence of the other party.

If Li Heng did not commit a rebellious act at the press conference, but completed the endorsement work in accordance with the rehearsal plan in an orderly manner, then Li Heng, who had been poured so much wine before, would inevitably make a fool of himself during the performance.

After all, this is a live broadcast to the whole world, and any mistake on the way will cause the reputation of Kangtao to be affected!

Ms. Xu Wanxue's "drinking" behavior should logically be punished.

However, who would have thought that Li Heng would suddenly make a move at the press conference... In this way, the woman mistakenly turned the "fault" into a "credit".

In addition, Xu Wanxue is also a member of the Xu family, although it is only a side branch, but there is also a little kinship in it.

So Aunt Ning didn't think there was anything wrong with Xu Wanmeng's decision at this time.

It's Wanmeng's tone... Why is there a little reluctance?

"She saved my life, and also controlled the accident at the press conference, and developed Qiantai 5 in such a short period of time, which is reasonable, and her credit is not small." Xu Wanmeng calmly analyzed, but there was a bit of helplessness in her tone.

At the end of the day, it happened by too much coincidence... She thought.

If there was a choice, Xu Wanmeng would rather believe that all this was deliberately arranged behind someone's back.

It's a pity that according to the current intelligence, this distant relative named Xu Wanxue commutes to and from work in the company on time almost every day, which can be described as a standard model for the company's workers, and it seems that there is no reason or time to plan this "accident".

However, looking at this accident, the biggest beneficiary seems to be this Ms. Xu Wanxue.

If there was really a mysterious person who planned all this, the other party would definitely calculate that Xu Wanxue would be rewarded after this.

This vaguely calculating feeling is not pleasant.

In fact, if you use special means against this sister, you must be able to pry her mouth open, and then it will be clear whether she has a relationship with a mysterious person... Xu Wanmeng thought to herself.

But there was no way she could do that.

Taking 10,000 steps back, if Xu Wanxue really has someone behind her to support her, her offense to her will undoubtedly anger the people behind her.

So the best way...

"Now that she has researched all the Qiantai 5, the later Yinglong project doesn't have to be carried out on Shenyang's side, and then give her a directive, let her return to where she should go in a few days, where she should be able to complete this work better." Xu Wanmeng stroked her forehead and thought for a while and said.

At present, it is not sure whether there is someone standing behind the other party, so it is a good idea to take the person away first, and then according to Xu Wanxue's reaction at that time, it is not bad to judge whether she is really hiding something.

"Are you talking about Night City?" Aunt Ning asked hesitantly.

She doesn't understand this kind of operation, as soon as someone else has made a contribution, you just took someone else's away?

"Yes, but it's not a mandatory order, it's up to her to decide if she wants to go back then, and if she doesn't accept the assignment, then we can give her other rewards." Xu Wan said dreamily.

"What about the position?" Aunt Ning asked.

Xu Wanmeng pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "Just the chief technology officer, let her be in charge of all the technology, R&D and equipment departments of the branch over there..."

Compared with the position of vice president of Qiantai, the position of CTO of Kangtao Division will be several grades higher in the company's power structure.

The former position is a position in Qiantai Company after all, with a formal president above and ministers of various departments below, who do not have much power and low power to speak.

However, the latter position is not only a real position in power, managing several departments within the company, but also the CTO of Kangtao Company, which is much better than the branch of Qiantai on the surface.

In any case, Xu Wanxue is a member of the Xu family after all, and with such a relationship, she will always have a certain sense of belonging to Kangtao Company.

The location of Night City was so important that the water in that place, according to Grandpa, was quite deep.

If Xu Wanxue really has a mysterious person behind her, then the higher her status in Night City, the more convenient it will be for the mysterious person to move.

In this way, Kangtao will benefit to a certain extent.

If Xu Wanxue refuses to accept the appointment, it means that she has other purposes for staying in Shenyang, and the matter of "someone instructing her" is almost certain.

"Okay, I'll let her know about your arrangements through the company's intranet." Aunt Ning nodded.

"I don't have anything else to say, let's talk about it here tonight, I'm a little tired." Xu Wanmeng waved her hand and said tiredly.

"Have a good night's sleep." Aunt Ning smiled softly, and her image disappeared from the table silently.

Seeing that the assistant had left, Xu Wanmeng finally got up from the chair and walked slowly to her bed.

Looking at the already dark night sky outside the window, she pursed her lips, shrunk into the quilt, and twisted her body in the quilt a few times with some uneasiness.

Perhaps because it was rare to stay up late tonight, as the bedroom became quieter, her heart became more and more low, haggard and worried.

Thinking back to what happened today, she still felt a little afraid.

She feels like a clown actor walking on a tightrope now, and the AI behind the scenes is like a spectator sitting in the audience, using all kinds of means to make her fall from a height.

This kind of feeling of being remembered all the time is really uncomfortable, especially when the other party still wants to turn you into a data consciousness of the same kind, and become yourself who is no longer yourself...

If it weren't for being rescued by others these two times, AI Xu Shiming's conspiracy would probably have succeeded.

It is precisely because AI Xu Shiming's conspiracy was foiled one by one that she didn't want to believe that this time was also a coincidence.

The game-breaker still hasn't appeared... She sighed softly in her heart

... With the gradual relaxation of her spirit, Xu Wanmeng finally fell asleep.

And in the haze of consciousness, she still had a question in her heart.

The attacker was so sure that the person who sabotaged his plan was Xu Wanxue, but if his confession was wrong, then how did the person who actually did something to him not let himself leave an impression in his mind?

......

......

"It's a simple question, because in his eyes, I'm just a person who rushes to the toilet." Lin Mo replied suddenly.

On the 63rd floor of the apartment building, in Xu Wanxue's bedroom, Lin Mo sat on the computer chair and answered his sister's questions gracefully.

Xu Wanxue sat on her bed, holding the quilt in her hand, and said with a sudden realization:

"You used Sänwestein when you ran into him?"

"That's right." Lin Mo couldn't help but show a smug smile:

"People's memory is not very reliable, even if there is a cognitive implant now, we will still be easy to ignore some things, when Li Heng and I collided at the door of the toilet, it was less than a few seconds in total, and then I used Chidai 5 to put the shock on the inside of his suit belt, and the whole process left him with only a glimpse."

"Compared to me, a passer-by, you deliberately poured him into drinking, and this suspicious behavior is more likely to make him believe that you ruined his good deeds... Once he has this way of thinking, then the merit of saving Xu Wanmeng will definitely be indispensable to you..."

"You're really a scheming little fox..."Xu Wanxue sighed.

"Well, it's not perfect, because the whole process seems to be too coincidental." Lin Mo sighed:

"If Xu Wanmeng has the heart to investigate, she will definitely be able to find out my existence, in case she is suspicious by nature, maybe she will put the object of suspicion on me, of course, this probability is very low."

Previously, he concealed his identity and appeared in front of Xu Wanmeng, leaving her with the impression that he was probably a mysterious and powerful master.

If Xu Wanmeng really suspected him, as soon as the follow-up investigation results came out, she might wonder if she had made a mistake.

After all, a minor, who has worked in Kangtao Company and is good at prosthetic research, has recently temporarily quit the company due to academic problems, and all kinds of factors add up to make his image more likely to be a prodigy in the future, rather than a decisive master.

As for the previous Qiandi 5 prototype product test, Xu Wanxue and Liu Ruoying also helped him keep it secret.

All of the test data has been mixed up with the data of other test subjects, and the probability of falsifying the test data like this is very low, and he is not worried about exposing it.

After all, even if it is falsified data, it is still real and useful data.

"By the way, who do you think wants to murder Xu Wanmeng?" Xu Wanxue suddenly asked, she still didn't understand this question until now.

Lin Mo touched his chin and said uncertainly, "It's probably AI." ”

“ai？ Those dangerous and uncontrolled flow of AI? Xu Wanxue's face changed.

Compared with the more "comfortable" environment in China, she has been in Night City for so many years, so she naturally understands the danger of wandering AI.

"Yes." Lin Mo nodded:

"But this is just a guess, there is too little information at present, I can't analyze it, but I can have the means to poison the CEO of Kangtao Company, and I don't worry about being settled after the autumn, except for AI, I can't find any other suspects, even if it is the other two giant companies, they may not be able to have this means."

After this "press conference" attack, he can basically conclude that the person behind the last refinery explosion should be the same person.

"You'll be okay then, will you?" Xu Wanxue looked at Lin Mo with concern.

Lin Mo's heart warmed, but he still said helplessly: "Instead of worrying about me, it's better to worry about yourself... Sister, now you are the one who sabotaged the other party's plan on the surface, and the probability of AI finding me is not high, but you may not be. ”

Xu Wanxue smiled: "Since you have expected this, you will definitely protect me." ”

"That's for sure." Lin Mo leaned back on the computer chair and leisurely controlled the chair to turn in circles:

"Although this plan is a bit risky, the rewards are also great, and without this accident, it will take you a few years to be successfully promoted to a position."

Xu Wanxue also leaned comfortably on the bed, stretched her waist and said, "You, you are a lucky cat... But looking back on all these years, it seems that you gave me advice from the sidelines... That's why I'm so young and promising now. ”

"I just don't know what position will be assigned to you this promotion." Lin Mo was a little looking forward to it.

Not to mention anything else, just with Xu Wanxue's current position as vice president of Qianli, she can already be called a big man in Night City, and she can provide him with a lot of help.

This time saved Xu Wanmeng's life, with the status of the other party, in ancient times, it also saved the prime minister's life, and with a little operation, it is not difficult to get promoted and make a fortune.

And due to this sudden accident, Xu Wanxue doesn't have to go to work for the time being, and the only thing left now is to stay at home and wait for the follow-up notice.

However, just as Lin Mo was thinking about the future, a planned message was suddenly sent to her communication channel.

"There's news from the company." Xu Wanxue's words immediately attracted Lin Mo's attention.

"How?" Lin Mo looked at Xu Wanxue curiously

Xu Wanxue's expression was a little strange, and she glanced back at Lin Mo silently.

"I'll copy and paste the message to you."

Soon, this announcement was quickly sent to Lin Mo's communicator.

Lin Mo glanced at it carefully, and his expression became a little strange.

"CTO of Night City's Kangtao Branch... This position didn't surprise me... But it's a bit intriguing that the company wants you to go there within three days to make an appointment. ”

Immediately afterwards, the sister and brother looked at each other and said almost at the same time:

"It's a temptation!" x2

If it's just a promotion, why ask employees to be in Night City within three days?

"It seems that our Ms. Xu Wanmeng has become suspicious." Lin Mo speculated, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "But she actually let you make your own choice, which I didn't expect." ”

Xu Wanxue frowned slightly and asked, "So do I want to accept this arrangement?" ”

"Accept, why not?" Lin Mo chuckled, "This is exactly what I want. ”

What you want? Xu Wanxue's heart moved slightly.

She suddenly narrowed her eyes, stared at Lin Mo for a long time, and asked in an unkind tone, "Aren't you going back with me?" ”

Lin Mo's face froze, not expecting that his careful thoughts would be seen through.

"It's not that time yet... But give me a few more days, and when I'm done with one thing, I'll go with you. He admits calmly.

"This has something to do with that AI?" Xu Wanxue asked.

"That's right, the matter on Shenyang's side hasn't been dealt with yet, run back to Night City now, I'm worried that AI will take the opportunity to make trouble here, after all, this is Kangtao's headquarters, if something goes wrong here, it will inevitably spread to Night City..."Lin Mo explained.

However, there was one other thought he didn't say to his face.

If his guess is correct, the person who is making trouble here in Shenyang is estimated to be an AI, and if he can't even solve the AI here, then there is not much point in going back to Night City.

No matter how bad it is, you have to have a little self-protection ability.

......

......

Regarding Lin Mo's decision, Xu Wanxue finally didn't find any reason to refuse, so she had to obediently agree with his idea.

In the middle of the night, Lin Mo did not continue to stay in her room longer, and returned to his room instead.

It was early in the morning, and he had already used the number of simulations before 24 o'clock, and now it was the next day's time slot, so there was no need to use the simulator too early.

Walking back to his desk, Lin Mo did not go back to bed to rest for the first time, but turned on the computer on the desktop and neatly opened the Helping Others app.

In fact, in the past six months, since he raised his intelligence attributes to the limit of human beings, he has been trying to master some hackers' "combat methods" while learning hacking-related knowledge.

And what he wants to learn most is the hacker battle method in cyberspace.

But in order to avoid attracting attention, it is impossible for him to consult other hackers within the Kangtao company, and each hacker's own mastery of the "puppet program" is no less than the "spell" of the mage, and the puppet program on the rotten street can be bought with money, but some of the more rare ones cannot be passed on.

Therefore, Lin Mo thought about it for a long time, and also tried to anonymously post a commission on the Helping Others app, sincerely looking for a hacker teacher within Shenyang.

He paid a lot of money, and he also attracted a lot of company hackers during the period, but these people were not in his consideration.

With his current intellectual attributes, a lot of knowledge about hacking can basically be bypassed and inferred, and the teacher he seeks does not have to be a good teacher, he can take off quickly.

However, in addition to the company's hackers, the city of Shenyang is no better than the City of Night after all, and there are very few "oppositional" hackers here.

But as long as you give more money, hackers will still have it after all.

The list displayed on the computer screen today lists many hacker candidates, including two "oppositional" hackers!
