Chapter 1022 Formidable Powerhouse Family
Gu Chang and Diao Yijue didn't want to die yet. There was no way that they would reveal the truth when it would mean offending a formidable powerhouse family.
The husband, their big boss Jin Liwei, was a multibillionaire and the head of the country's biggest and wealthiest company.
The wife looked like a harmless female celebrity but was actually more frightening than her husband. Someone who could defend Jin Corporation from a powerful hacker that they were all helpless to fend off and could create mind-blowingly advanced and sophisticated cat AIs that acted like real humans was a great force to be reckoned with.
Finally, the couple's cat AI children Ketchup and Bacon were both impressive hackers as well. The most amazing but also frightening thing about these two AI siblings was their extremely powerful self-learning function. If their mother who was already a powerful hacker herself continued to train them, they might just be able to surpass her one day.
With this kind of formidable members, Gu Chang and Diao Yijue didn't dare to offend such a frightening family. Any one of them had the power to destroy their lives.
Their big boss Jin Liwei was still fine because they had been working for him for quite a number of years now. His wife Iris Long was also alright because she was generally a kind person as long as nobody crossed her.
Gu Chang and Diao Yijue might have had a rough first impression with the couple's AI daughter, Young Miss Ketchup, when she looked down on them after she was just "born", but they were more comfortable with her now after becoming in charge of Jin Corporation's new security system alongside her. She was quite easy to get along and super cute too, just like a real little girl. On one hand, they begun to dote on her like uncles. But on another hand, they admired her exceptional computer skills and treated her like a master even though she still refused to take them in as her disciples.
As for the Young Miss Ketchup's new younger brother, the cat AI Bacon, Gu Chang and Diao Yijue weren't too familiar with him. They only met him a few times when Ketchup brought him to Jin Corporation and showed him around the company's security system. The black cat AI seemed nice and polite.
However, they often heard Ketchup complaining about her younger brother's naughty misdeeds and how their big boss Jin Liwei scolded and punished him time and time again.
Ketchup once warned them, "Changchang and Juejue, whatever you do in your lives, don't offend the cute and mighty Ketchup's naughty little kitty brother Bacon. Ever! Bacon is a super-duper to the highest level big meanie who loves tormenting people he views as enemies! Be careful or you'll regret not listening to Ketchup! Meow~"
Although they hadn't personally witnessed just how dangerous Bacon could be, both Gu Chang and Diao Yijue decided to listen to Ketchup's warning. After all, it was better to be safe than sorry.
After the immensely satisfying three-hour buffet lunch break, the catering service ended and everyone returned to work with big smiles and full stomachs.
Gu Chang and Diao Yijue brought their big boss, Jin Liwei, to the company's restricted security system control room. Ketchup was already waiting for them inside as they respectfully gestured for Jin Liwei to sit down first.
The white cat AI was playing with a ball of yarn in the huge computer monitor but all three of them knew that she was always monitoring everything that was happening in Jin Corporation's extensive computer system, particularly the highly advanced, sophisticated and intricate yet still very robust security system that her mother Iris Long created for the company.
Diao Yijue took it upon himself to prepare hot tea for all of them, serving Jin Liwei first before anyone else. Other than the two of them and of course their big boss Jin Liwei, no other humans were allowed to enter the all-important security system control room.
This place and the server room were the most restricted areas in the company. They contained classified secrets not only pertaining to the company itself but also hardware and software traces of a formidable hacker, namely Iris Long, who installed various modifications during the summer after Eagle's hacking attack.
Jin Liwei sipped tea while gesturing for them to start reporting.
"Sir, the hacking attacks against Jin Corporation have increased in frequency in the last couple of weeks," Gu Chang said.
"Sometimes multiple attacks happen at the same time," Diao Yijue followed up next. "The hacking styles are pretty similar to each other but we suspect that the attacks are done by a group of different people who are working together. They're targeting different points of our security system and trying different tactics to breach it but to no avail."
"Meaning, my wife's security system successfully thwarted them," Jin Liwei concluded.
"That's right, Daddy! Mommy's work is super-duper to the highest level amazing! And with Ketchup overseeing Mommy's awesome security system and Changchang and Juejue providing back-up, those evil poopoo-heads will die of old age first before they can breach our company! So don't worry, macaroni! Jin Corporation will be safe under the cute and mighty Ketchup's watch! Meow~"
"En." Jin Liwei nodded, satisfied at his AI daughter's confidence and of course proud of his wife's top quality work.
Gu Chang and Diao Yijue looked at each other and appeared as if they wanted to say something but were reluctant to do so.
"What is it? Speak."
Gu Chang cleared his throat. "I don't mean to undermine Mrs. Jin and Young Miss Ketchup's obviously superior computer skills but…."
Jin Liwei frowned when the man didn't continue speaking for more than five seconds. "But what?"
"Sir, what he's trying to say is that the hacking attacks have not only been becoming more and more frequent but also becoming more and more forceful. We're also confident with our current security system but if things continue going on like this, those bastards might just be successful in breaching—"
"No way, hairspray! The cute and mighty Ketchup won't allow any breaches to happen under my watch! Hmph! Changchang and Juejue, Ketchup is disappointed in you two! Daddy, please tell these two poopoo-heads that Mommy's system is super-duper the bestest in the whole wide world ever! Meow!"
