Chapter 72 How could she forget this? She wouldn't believe it.
Chapter 72 How could she forget this? She wouldn't believe it.
Chen Mo hung up the phone, and a weight was finally lifted from his heart.
He just called Lin Wei directly and briefly explained that the software had been copied and that the company suspected there was a mole within the company.
Without wasting any time, I directly asked her if she had done it.
Lin Wei was silent for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, then asked, "Chen Mo, do you think I would do such a thing?"
Her voice was calm, revealing no emotion.
"I have no idea."
Chen Mo truthfully replied, "I believe you in my heart, which is why I didn't ask you anything."
"It wasn't me."
Lin Wei denied it readily, her tone tinged with helplessness.
"Although I resigned, I would never resort to such means to retaliate against the company, much less... betray the people I love."
"..."
As Chen Mo listened to her words, the inexplicable irritation in his heart dissipated considerably.
"Okay, I understand."
He said.
"Thanks."
Lin Wei paused, then added, "However, this matter is indeed strange. You'd better find out the truth, otherwise even if this is over, there will be trouble in the future."
"I know."
Chen Mo said, "I will investigate thoroughly. From your perspective, who do you think is the most suspicious?"
"It's hard to say."
Lin Wei thought for a moment and said, "I think anyone is a possibility."
"Okay, that's settled for now. I'll talk to you again after I've dealt with this."
Putting down his phone, Chen Mo leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh of relief.
It wasn't Lin Wei.
For some reason, knowing the answer made him feel much more relaxed.
Since it wasn't Lin Wei, then the mole must still be in the project team.
Chen Mo turned on his computer and pulled up all the project's core code, design documents, requirements specifications, and other materials.
Because of the improvement in his intelligence attribute, his thinking is now exceptionally clear, and he can see things much faster.
He secretly modified several modules within this code, but left no comments in the modification log.
This is not in accordance with the regulations.
Normally, after a programmer modifies code, they will explain the reason and content of the modification in the comments.
But this was his own precaution, a way to guard against others.
Especially Manager Li!
I never expected it to actually come in handy.
These modifications, ostensibly for performance optimization, actually left some very subtle vulnerabilities.
You wouldn't notice it at all if you didn't look closely.
However, once it is running, these vulnerabilities can lead to data errors or even system crashes.
But he didn't tell Shen Qingyue about this yesterday.
Chen Mo narrowed his eyes, having made up his mind.
Then I started thinking of countermeasures.
Several feasible options flashed through his mind quickly, and he finally chose one.
Although it's a bit risky, time is of the essence, so we have no choice but to give it a try.
We'll try anything, no matter what.
He picked up his phone and sent a WeChat message to Shen Qingyue.
[Chen Mo]: Sister Qingyue, I've thought of a way. Let's try it at the meeting tomorrow.
Shen Qingyue replied very quickly.
[Shen Qingyue]: What method?
[Chen Mo]: It's hard to explain over the phone than to meet in person.
[Shen Qingyue]: Okay, come to my office before the meeting tomorrow.
[Chen Mo]: Hmm.
Putting down his phone, Chen Mo continued organizing the materials, determined to ensure tomorrow's meeting would proceed flawlessly.
……
Nine o'clock the next morning.
Chen Mo arrived at the company on time and went straight to Shen Qingyue's office.
I knocked on the door, and Shen Qingyue's voice came from inside.
"Come in."
Chen Mo pushed open the door and went in, and saw Shen Qingyue already sitting behind her desk, looking at documents.
She wore a dark blue business suit today, with her hair tied in a low ponytail, looking both capable and serious.
"President Shen."
Chen Mo greeted him.
"sit."
Shen Qingyue raised her head and pointed to the chair opposite her.
Chen Mo sat down, handed her the documents he had prepared the night before, and explained, "These are some tricks I deliberately added to the code."
Shen Qingyue took the documents and quickly glanced through them.
"These modules... are all core functions."
She looked up at Chen Mo.
"You mean you deliberately left a vulnerability to cause product problems?"
"Yes, before the final delivery, I actually took precautions."
Chen Mo sighed, "Sigh, I didn't expect things to actually go wrong in the end."
Why didn't you say so yesterday?
"I forgot."
Chen Mo lied and said, "I suddenly remembered it last night when I was organizing the documents."
"..."
How could she forget that? She wouldn't believe it.
But now is not the time to dwell on this!
Shen Qingyue: "If they take this software over, will it still work?"
"If you insist on using it, you can, but the system will be unstable, which is like a crippled version."
"oh."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyue felt slightly better, put down the documents, and continued to ask, "So what's your method?"
"That's how it is..."
So, Chen Mo explained his plan.
After listening, Shen Qingyue remained silent for a few seconds.
"Okay, let's use your method... There's no better way now, we have to take a gamble."
Shen Qingyue looked at Chen Mo, nodded, and her eyes were complicated.
She knew Chen Mo was right.
Time was of the essence; the client had only given them two days, and they had to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
"it is good."
Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
"but……"
Shen Qingyue suddenly changed the subject, saying coldly, "After this matter is over, no matter who the mole is, they must be severely punished."
"I know."
Chen Mo nodded.
The two discussed some more details and then went to the conference room together.
……
All the project team members were already present in the meeting room.
Minister Huang also arrived and sat next to the head of the table, his expression not very pleasant.
Clearly, he already knew about the problems with the project.
Shen Qingyue and Chen Mo walked in and sat down in their respective seats.
"Everyone's here, let's begin."
Shen Qingyue got straight to the point, explaining that her software had been copied and that her client was going to breach the contract.
For a moment, the conference room was completely silent.
Everyone was stunned, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.
"This...how is this possible?"
Wang Qing was the last to join the group, but the first to speak, her voice filled with disbelief.
"Our code and design are confidential, how could they have been leaked?"
"Yes, this is so sudden."
Another team member chimed in, "What did the client say? Are they really going to breach the contract and abandon this project?"
"If we breach the contract, wouldn't all our work on this project have been for nothing?"
Everyone started talking at once, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Shen Qingyue and Chen Mo silently observed everyone's expressions.
Shock, surprise, worry, doubt...
I felt a variety of emotions, but not a guilty conscience or panic.
The mole had excellent mental fortitude.
Chen Mo thought to himself, but remained outwardly calm.
"Everyone, please be quiet."
Shen Qingyue tapped on the table, and the conference room immediately fell silent.
"Now is not the time to discuss penalties for breach of contract. The most urgent task is to find out what the problem is and stabilize the customer."
She paused, then looked at Minister Huang.
"Minister Huang, what's your opinion?"
Minister Huang pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "This matter is indeed very serious, but..."
He then changed the subject.
"I think the problem might lie with the departing employees."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Chen Mo.
"Team Leader Chen, I remember Lin Wei was in charge of the early development and testing of this project before she left, right?"
"..."
Chen Mo's heart sank.
As expected, Lin Wei was the first to be suspected and was brought out to draw attention!
