Chapter 36: Welcome to Your Post

After transferring seven million to his father, Su Xin called his mother to exchange pleasantries, then transferred the remaining one million to her.

It was not that he was biased, but because major family matters were usually decided by his father, who also managed the large sums of money; therefore, money for buying houses and cars would come from his father, while this one million for his mother was for daily expenses.

Afterward, Su Xin called several teachers he was familiar with to chat.

While on the phone with his homeroom teacher, Teacher Wang mentioned something to him.

"These past few days, the admissions office directors of several top universities have come to the school, including the five major universities hosting the Qianlong Cup, as well as other top-tier universities. They all want to specially recruit you for early admission and have offered very good terms, but I heard you previously rejected the special recruitment from the five major universities, so I didn't go out of my way to disturb you."

"No need for special recruitment; I am going to take the college entrance exam."

Su Xin refused decisively.

How could he possibly pass up such a great opportunity to show off and gain publicity as the national top scorer of the college entrance exam?

Even if every top university in the world offered the best conditions, it would be impossible to make him give up his plan to take the college entrance exam.

"Alright, since you refuse, I will call them back and decline. After all, a few people have been lurking nearby, and sometimes they even take the initiative to say all sorts of nice things to your mother."

"Mm, please help me decline them, Teacher."

After hanging up the phone, Su Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

Family matters were considered handled, and he had one less thing on his mind; next, he could focus on the company's development until he returned to take the college entrance exam in half a month.

He checked the time.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening, and outside the wide, bright floor-to-ceiling windows, one could already see a magnificent night view.

Su Xin locked his computer in the safe as usual and asked casually:

"Tianwei, has everyone left work?"

"There is still one new employee named Xu Xiangru in the second office area."

"Hm?"

Su Xin frowned, got up to leave the office, locked the main door behind him, and headed to the second office area, where he indeed saw someone still clattering away at a keyboard.

"Ahem!"

After Su Xin gave a light cough to remind the other person, he said, "Why haven't you left work yet?"

Xu Xiangru was a petite, cute girl, and she said somewhat nervously:

"Boss, I have some work I haven't finished yet, so I wanted to stay and work overtime for a while."

"If it's not finished, forget it; leave work first and we'll talk about it tomorrow," Su Xin nodded and said.

"Okay!"

Xu Xiangru replied obediently.

She quickly tidied up the things on her desk, stood up to leave her workstation, and as she passed by Su Xin, she said in a low voice:

"Boss, I'm leaving now."

A faint, youthful fragrance drifted past him, and Su Xin said indifferently:

"Mm, goodbye."

Then, as if remembering something, he added, "By the way, I remember I set a rule that unless there are special circumstances approved by someone at the manager level or above, overtime is not allowed, not even if it's voluntary. Don't work so hard next time."

Xu Xiangru's expression stiffened slightly as if her little thoughts had been seen through, and she said in a low voice, "Okay."

After saying that, she fled as if escaping.

Su Xin left shortly after.

Late at night.

In the hotel, while Su Xin was fast asleep, he was suddenly woken up by the ringing of his phone.

He picked up the phone and looked; the voice of the Tianwei Butler immediately came through: "Warning! Someone is preparing to illegally break into the company."

At the same time, the phone screen automatically switched to the surveillance footage of the company's main entrance.

He saw two figures dressed in black at the company entrance; one was busily acting suspiciously, clearly picking the lock, while the other was looking around from time to time, clearly acting as a lookout.

"Sure enough, someone really used such despicable means."

Su Xin's eyes turned cold, and he immediately ordered: "Tianwei, sound the alarm."

"Understood, the alarm has been sounded."

The next moment, a piercing alarm sound rang out in the video, and the two men in black panicked and hurriedly fled along the emergency exit.

Su Xin picked up his phone, dialed the number for the security manager of the Yonghui Building, and said sternly:

"I am Su Xin from Tianqi Technology. Someone just tried to break into my company and almost caused me serious losses. I demand that this matter be handled seriously. Once the thieves are caught, please call the police immediately."

"Understood! Please rest assured, Mr. Su Xin! I have already arranged for people to carry out an arrest. Once caught, we will definitely handle it seriously, and we will never allow such a thing to happen again!"

The security manager hurriedly gave his assurance.

After hanging up the phone, Su Xin's expression remained grave.

He knew that the security personnel of the building were, after all, just ordinary guards and could not completely defend against omnipresent corporate spies.

Perhaps the people behind the scenes had only sent some incompetent petty thieves for now, but in the future, as Tianqi Technology's influence grew, there might be international master thieves like those in movies, with extraordinary methods and all kinds of professional equipment, who would take action.

"Relying on those guards is definitely not enough."

"The Tianwei Butler currently only has a monitoring function and no defensive capabilities; furthermore, monitoring methods are easily cracked by certain professional equipment, so I really cannot be careless."

Su Xin pondered thoughtfully for a moment.

"Perhaps I can develop a compression encryption technology to encrypt all data before leaving work every day and decrypt it the next day when I start work."

"But to prevent the company server from being destroyed, or my office computer from being taken away after the safe is pried open, I must also store the data on a cloud server. That way, if the computer is stolen, I can just automatically destroy the data."

"As long as the data is not stolen, the other items in the company are not worth anything at all."

"However, profit moves people's hearts; when it comes to huge profits, I'm afraid third-party cloud servers cannot guarantee absolute security either."

When Su Xin was reading in the library before, he had read quite a few history books and classic business war cases, and he understood the cruelty of the human heart.

Therefore, he knew he absolutely could not fully trust any third party; after all, as his reputation grew larger and larger, the development data on his computer would also become increasingly attractive to others.

When everyone firmly believed that the data on his personal computer was worth tens of billions, countless forces, whether white or black, might be tempted, and at that time, there would certainly be people who would try every possible means to steal his development data.

Even the cloud server lessor might risk ruining their reputation to steal the data.

Su Xin had to take precautions in advance.

Early the next morning, Su Xin was the first to arrive at the company to clock in, and then he entered his office to research compression and encryption technology.

Around eight-thirty.

A familiar yet unfamiliar figure appeared in Su Xin's office.

"Boss, long time no see!"

Liu Qingli was wearing a black professional suit, greeting him with a smile as bright as a flower.

Su Xin stood up, walked out from behind his desk, and smiled as he extended his right hand: "Welcome to your official post, my great CEO!"
