Zhao Mian frowned when she heard that, but she was helpless. She couldn’t understand codes, so she instructed Chen Fang, the director of the technical department who was good at computing, to check the log.

Chen Fang and Zhou Liu discussed intensely for half an hour before finally reaching an agreement. Then, as if no one was around, they began to repair the loopholes and find the database that had been hacked by the three of them. As they modified the data, they strengthened the firewall.

When the two of them finished their work and looked up from the computer screen, they realized it was already past two in the morning.

Zhao Mian knew that what happened next was confidential, so she asked Zhou Liu to go back and rest first before listening to Chen Fang report the situation to them.

Chen Fang praised Zhou Liu, “This young man is much more talented than me! If he hadn’t discovered these loopholes in time, the company might have suffered even greater losses!”

Chen Fang reported the loss of some data and secret files to Zhao Mian. Yuan Shu knew very little about technology, so she was confused.

It was only after Zhao Mian finished dealing with the problem and asked the other two to go home that she said to Yuan Shu, “Madam, fortunately, you were vigilant and dealt with this problem in time. Otherwise, most of Yuan An’s internal secrets would have been leaked.”

Yuan Shu heaved a sigh of relief. She didn’t expect that even though she was very careful, those people were still trying to find loopholes. Li Ci probably noticed something and wanted to take one’s share of the loot, so he gave himself away in front of Yuan Shu.

“Secretary Zhao, it’s already so late. You should go back and rest. I’ll have to trouble you to take care of the rest,” Yuan Shu said. Based on her judgment, she felt that Zhou Liu was a useful talent. Most importantly, he was loyal.

“Secretary Zhao, I think Zhou Liu is worth paying attention to, but it’s easy for young people to be arrogant, so don’t let him be promoted too quickly. Something might happen if he gets in over his head. Moreover, if we reward him with great fanfare, it will only attract more attention. Then, it might be a hindrance to his future monitoring of the data.”

Zhao Mian nodded in agreement. Initially, she wanted to raise Zhou Liu’s salary tomorrow, but after hearing Yuan Shu’s words, she realized that she had not thought it through. She immediately extinguished this thought.

At two or three in the morning, the streets were deserted and there was only the bleak sound of the wind.

In March, the temperature difference between day and night was still huge. When Yuan Shu went out in the afternoon, the sun was still high, so she only wore a white top and white suit pants with a black suit jacket.

It was stylish, but not warm enough.

As she and Zhao Mian stood downstairs of Yuan An’s company building, a gust of wind blew past. Yuan Shu felt chilly and tightened her jacket.

Yuan Shu called a cab for Zhao Mian first. After ensuring that Zhao Mian got into the car safely, Yuan Shu sat in the back seat of her own car.

After a long day, Yuan Shu was really tired. She fell asleep in the back seat of the car. The chauffeur only woke her up when he reached the entrance of the ancestral home.

Yuan Shu got out of the car groggily. There was still a lamp left on for her in the ancestral home. When she opened the door, she realized how thoughtful the design of the ancestral home was.

Footlights were installed half a meter above the ground in every corridor. They were not too dazzling, so it was convenient for one to see the way clearly and not hit anything when walking at night.

As Yuan Shu rubbed her sore neck and walked towards the room, she bumped into Wu Yan, who had woken up.

When Wu Yan saw that Yuan Shu had just returned, she hurriedly went over and whispered, “Madam, do you need me to help run a bath for you to wash up?”

Yuan Shu was tired, sleepy, and hungry. Although she wanted to take a hot shower to relieve her fatigue, she was too exhausted.

She shook her head and said, “Go to bed. Don’t worry about me.”

Wu Yan could tell that she was very tired, so she prepared a basin of hot water for her and brought it to her room. Then, she dipped a towel in hot water and wiped Yuan Shu’s face.

After Yuan Shu lay on the soft blanket, she only had time to think about the labor laws that Liu Lan had taught her before she completely fell asleep..
