I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

“Then… we’ll sue him,” Lu Keke said. “Everyone signed a confidentiality agreement when they joined the company.”

Chen Ya shook his head.

Confidentiality agreements can only prevent general leaks.

If the other party has a competitor standing behind them, even if you sue them, it can only be said that it teaches the mole a lesson and serves as a warning to others.

The amount of money the other party paid in compensation wasn't even a fraction of my own losses.

"Most importantly, the company's critical information must not be leaked," Chen Ya said. "Even if we get rid of this person, there will be another mole, and we will never know what information he stole or who he passed it on to."

Lu Keke frowned and asked nervously, "Then what should we do?"

Chen Ya thought for a moment and said, "I have a way, but I need your cooperation."

"What?"

"Come here, I'll tell you."

Chapter 370 Killing Three Birds with One Stone

Chen Ya whispered something in Lu Keke's ear, and Lu Keke listened with growing interest and her eyes becoming brighter.

After saying that, Chen Ya asked, "Understand?"

"Understood!"

"Then, you proceed according to the plan. I'll start preparing the database right away."

"Ok!"

Lu Keke nodded heavily but firmly.

Wonderful, wonderful!

She had never imagined that someone could be so ruthless.

From this perspective, Chen Ya is actually quite a ruthless character.

I shouldn't provoke him so easily in the future.

……

After lunch, it's time for employees to eat and rest. They can do anything during this time, but nobody wants to work.

Except for one oddball.

"Hey, you there." Lu Keke waved to someone not far away, and the unremarkable employee in the technical team turned around.

"you call me?"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's you." Lu Keke said impatiently, "Come here, come here."

No one dared disobey the orders of the company's "Goddess of Geeks".

An ordinary-looking employee came running over eagerly.

Who would have thought that this seemingly ordinary-looking guy would actually be a mole lurking inside the company?

Lu Keke thought to herself, "You can't judge a book by its cover," but her expression remained unchanged as she continued:

"Sorry, I gave the character draft you asked me to give you last time to the art team. I forgot to ask if I could give it to you. Sorry."

The mole's lips twitched, and he waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I was just looking around casually. It doesn't matter if I don't have any."

Although that's what he said, he was inwardly rolling his eyes to the heavens.

Oh right, you're the office goddess, nobody dares to offend you. We ordinary employees are just lowly Shudras, not worth your attention.

If he didn't have to stay undercover at this company for a while longer, who would want to talk to her? He could only be humble and insincere.

Once things are settled here, there are 72 goddesses of otaku waiting in line at the E-factory. What will Ayane be then?

It's just a single hair on the body of nine oxen!

Lu Keke seemed completely unaware of his inner thoughts, casually tossing her hair, looking dazzling in the sunlight.

“Hey, I’ve been seeing you running around like that, it seems kind of weird,” Lu Keke said. “You don’t seem very bright.”

"??"

Enraged by this sudden insult, the man nearly broke off all ties with Lu Keke on the spot.

Fortunately, he managed to hold back.

"...Goddess, what are you saying? I may not be very smart, but I'm willing to learn!"

"No, that's exactly what I meant by your question," Lu Keke said. "The company has a shared database, so why run around asking for materials?"

"A shared database?" The mole was dumbfounded. "There's such a thing?"

"Yes, didn't your team leader tell you?" Lu Keke looked at him as if he were a country bumpkin. "Oh right, I remember now, you're in the technical team, so you don't usually need to use it."

The mole panicked and hurriedly said, "Goddess, tell me, what is this shared database? I really don't know anything about it."

"It's on the local area network, everyone uses it. To facilitate communication between different groups, the company usually just throws the copywriting and art materials directly into the library. I thought everyone knew that."

Upon hearing this, the mole became envious.

Goodness, I was inefficiently searching for information everywhere, but there's a ready-made database right here, why bother with all that work!

"Goddess, Goddess, how do I access the shared database? Can you tell me?" the mole asked urgently.

Lu Keke narrowed her eyes and said, "Beg me!"

"I beg you!"

The mole almost knelt down before her.

He thought to himself that he should bow his head for now; a true man can bend and stretch. The 72 beauties at the Hubei factory are still waiting for him.

Lu Keke's eyes darted around, and a sly smile crept across her lips: "Just begging? Then you have to show some appreciation, right?"

Let me treat you to dinner!

“No need for a meal,” Lu Keke said. “Treat me to a milk tea… No, since we’ve done such a big favor, shouldn’t everyone in our group treat us to a milk tea?”

This is price gouging. A group of seven or eight people, each with a cup of milk tea, would have to spend over a hundred yuan.

The mole gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement. Even though he knew it was extortion, he couldn't resist and could only try to convince himself again by mentioning the 72 beautiful female colleagues at the factory.

Under Lu Keke's blackmail, the mole obediently served milk tea to everyone in his group, and only then did Lu Keke finally take pity on him and tell him how to access the shared database.

He regretted it after hearing about the mole. The method was so simple, practically right under his nose; he could have easily discovered it with just a little attention!

Moreover, this database is shared by the entire company; as long as you are on the local area network, you can access and retrieve the data from your own computer!

The mole thought back to how he had begged and pleaded with everyone he knew in order to gather information, only to be met with rejection everywhere he went, and he almost wanted to slap himself.

So stupid!

However, after so many twists and turns, we have finally made a breakthrough today.

The mole returned to his workstation, carefully reviewed all the contents of the database, and then took a deep breath.

I've graduated.

The database contains a full 1TB of files.

Art design, copywriting, modeling, all sorts of random things.

It even has a user agreement.

The little bit of information we found earlier suddenly seemed insignificant in such a massive database.

The more he looked at it, the more he realized that he hadn't really been thinking before.

Oh dear! If I had known this sooner, I would have gone to the Hubei factory long ago to reunite with those 72 beautiful female colleagues. I wouldn't have had to wait until today!

However, on second thought, it's fine as it is now.

If you complete the task too easily, people will think it's too simple. But if you work hard for a while, they might actually think more highly of you.

He looked around and, finding no one paying attention to him, took out his phone and sent a message to the person in his WeChat contacts whose contact was labeled "Lao":

"It's done."

The other party replied quickly: "Let me see."

The mole looked around again and took a picture of the screenshot of the computer folder.

As you can see from the photo, the entire screen is filled with graphic designs and various engineering documents.

Anyone who has worked on projects can see how rich the content of these materials is.

In other words, Zhang Weiqiang wasn't present. If he had been, the mole would have witnessed the big boss gasp in shock.

The other end quickly sent a concise message.

It's a thumbs-up emoji.

Cow.

This expression perfectly encapsulates his current mood.

"There's no time to lose, pack it up and send it over right away."

The mole replied on his phone: "I'm still at the company. The file is too large to transfer easily. I'll bring it over on my hard drive."

"Okay, when should we meet?"

"Brother Qiang, did they really reserve a position for me at the Hubei factory?"

After sending the message, Zhang Weiqiang did not respond for a long time.

The mole knew that he had reached the final stage of negotiation.

If I hand over what I have, I'll truly have no further use to myself. I'll take whatever I can get my hands on now.

After a long pause, the other end finally replied, "I've already urged HR, but you have to understand, I'm not the boss, and HR might not listen to me. This isn't something I'm arranging."

A while later, another message came from the other end: "But don't worry, I guarantee you will receive the treatment you are entitled to, I'll do my best to ensure it's all right, okay?"

"And regarding the money, I also applied to you, but because this kind of funding is not easy to disclose publicly or fill out forms for, the application has not been approved yet."

"Here's what I'll do: I'll transfer a few thousand dollars to you in my personal capacity as a reward for your contributions and as a guarantee. You should give me the hard drive first, so that I can use it to apply for funding from the boss once I have the results."

Immediately afterwards, the other party transferred 3 yuan to them. The mole immediately accepted it.

Although the other party said so much, but ultimately failed to deliver on any of the promised conditions, the mole felt that the other party had already shown great sincerity.

"Okay, Brother Qiang, I've always trusted you. I'm really touched by what you've told me. Let's meet up tonight, at the usual place."

While the mole was engrossed in writing, in a nearby office, through the gaps in the blinds, a pair of eyes were watching him.

"Snapped."

Chen Ya released his grip, and the blinds quickly closed. He turned around, picked up his teacup, and said succinctly, "They've taken the bait."

Luan Qingying asked nervously, "Won't they discover a problem?"

“The easiest part to be exposed was the part with Ayane, but it’s unlikely to be exposed now,” Chen Ya laughed. “He gave out the information, and he’s already in a difficult position. If it turns out to be fake, he won’t be able to back down.”

Luan Qingying asked, "What if the E'chang factory discovers... something amiss?"

"Unless they can actually break into our database and compare the data carefully," Chen Ya said.

Luan Qingying nodded and said, "I think that's a brilliant move, killing three birds with one stone."

"Three birds? What other bird is there?" Chen Ya asked with a smile.

Luan Qingying said, "It can also cause the Hubei factory to misjudge us."

Chen Ya thought for a moment and said, "Indeed. This point is perhaps more crucial than the other two birds."

In reality, the "shared database" that Lu Keke mentioned is fake.

Beichen Company has never had this, neither before nor now.

This database was created solely for the purpose of the mole.

The items stored in the warehouse were actually things that Chen Ya, Ishikawa Dong, Luan Qingying, and Ge Zhang made as practice when they were still at Peking University before Beichen was even established.

When Eagle's Nest was first established, Chen Ya only had a plan, but no money or technology, as did Ishikawa Takashi and the other two.

At the time, the code written by Ishikawa Tō was a complete mess, practically a pile of crap. However, after Hokushin was officially established, this code was long since optimized.
