Chapter 204 Gu Hui
"Hi!"
After his enlightenment, Eric greeted Gu Hui calmly and then smiled with an angelic smile that would make even angels jealous. He said, "How long are you going to stand there before you come to your senses?"
He turned his chair in a playful manner, looking at him with interest. "I guess since you're here, you must have something to say, right?"
He gestured gentlemanly to the chair opposite him. "Please, have a seat!"
Gu Hui collected his thoughts and remembered. He had a purpose in coming here today. He stepped out of the elevator with long strides and stopped in front of Eric's desk.
"Sorry. I know this visit may be a bit abrupt, but..." Gu Hui propped his right hand on the desk and leaned forward. "May I see the Chairman of Ling Yan Group?"
"What is it that you want?" Eric frowned slightly.
Gu Hui looked very serious. "I have something very important to discuss with him. Can you arrange for me to see him?"
Eric smiled, "I don't need to arrange anything; you can just speak to me."
Gu Hui looked at Eric with some surprise, and said seriously, "Young man, I really have something important to tell your chairman..."
Eric pointed to himself and said, "Haven't you noticed that I've been sitting here reviewing documents for half the day? Kid, don't you know that you're in the chairman's exclusive office?"
Gu Hui was taken aback for a moment, then smiled. "Don't joke with me. Young man, please call your dad or grandpa..."
Eric shook his head helplessly, operated on the computer, and then turned the monitor towards Gu Hui.
Gu Hui looked at the screen with some confusion, only to see a news article with a large photo and a big headline—"The Most Handsome Chairman in History!"
"You?" Gu Hui almost exclaimed. He had not expected that the impeccably dressed and perfect-looking boy in front of him, who seemed to be only eighteen or nineteen years old and exuded an air of nobility, would actually be the Chairman of Ling Yan Group, Uncle Liu's boss!
But he was only surprised for a moment. After all, there is nothing impossible in this world. Even Country A could become the "world's policeman," so what else could not happen in this world?
Gu Hui snapped out of his daze and realized that it was important to get down to business. However, his attitude was not as friendly as before. Gu Hui quickly composed himself, and with accusing eyes, he said to Eric, "Since you are the Chairman of Ling Yan Group, I think you should know Liu Tianhua, right?"
"Liu Tianhua?" Eric raised his eyebrows at the name. "He is the Minister of Information Department of Ling Yan Group. What about him?"
"I am his nephew, and my name is Gu Hui." This was the identity Gu Hui and Liu Tianhua had agreed to use publicly. He stared at Eric earnestly and said, "Perhaps to you, my Uncle Liu is just a small figure, but that's not important. What's important is that my Uncle Liu has been framed! Although I don't know who is trying to frame him, I believe he is innocent! Regardless, give me three days to prove to you that he is definitely not a traitor."
Eric, sitting in his place, looked at the boy who was about the same age as his current appearance, and showed a hint of appreciation for his calmness and composure. After all, not everyone could talk calmly under his mental "pressure"!
Playing with the gold pen in his hand, Eric smiled gently. "So you are Liu Tianhua's nephew. Your uncle stole the company's secrets, causing significant losses to our Ling Yan Group. He was dismissed, but we considered his past merits and efforts. For his crime, even if he is charged, it is not a big deal. I think you should know this, right?"
He stared at Gu Hui, who had a somewhat aloof and untamed face, "Privately, he is just your uncle; publicly, I am just his boss. And between you and me, there is nothing. Kid, under what qualifications and conditions do you demand that I give you three days?"
"I know I have no qualifications, but don't you want to know who the real 'thief' is? Moreover, my Uncle Liu has always been upright, loyal to Ling Yan Group. How could he betray the company and ruin his reputation?" Gu Hui looked at Eric confidently.
Eric nodded in agreement. "Perhaps you're not wrong, but there were not many people who knew about the secret, and he was the only one who had the opportunity. How do you explain that? Sometimes you have to admit that money can easily lead an honest person to crime. Are you sure you really understand your uncle?"
Gu Hui's anger had risen to his chest by this point, but he restrained himself from exploding due to their positions. With a forced smile, he said, "It seems you have already decided that my Uncle Liu is a traitor and have no intention of giving me any chance to prove otherwise, right?"
Eric looked at his face, hiding his anger, very coldly. "I don't think three days will be enough for you to prove your uncle's innocence..."
"If you're willing to give me the time!" Gu Hui looked at him without backing down. "I will prove it to you."
Eric chuckled, amused. "Alright, if you can prove Liu Tianhua's innocence within three days, I will continue to employ him as the Minister of the Information Department, as if nothing happened. However, if after these three days, you still can't find the 'real culprit,' don't blame me for being ruthless! This is a business game, and if you want to play, you have to be able to lose."
"Thank you." Gu Hui breathed a sigh of relief at these words. He looked confidently at Eric and said, "I will definitely not lose! But I have one request!"
Eric raised an eyebrow. "Go on."
"If it is really proven that my Uncle Liu is innocent, then I hope you can personally invite him back to work and restore his reputation..."
Eric nodded without hesitation. "No problem!"
Gu Hui was slightly stunned. Obviously, he had not expected the chairman to be so straightforward. However, he was very satisfied with this and his expression softened a bit. "I'm sorry to bother you. I'll come back in three days, and no matter what the outcome, I will give you an explanation." With that, he turned and walked into the elevator, leaving the place.
Eric smiled as he watched the figure leave.
Gu Hui! Lonely soul! A very individual name, and the owner of this name is also a very characterful boy! Looking at his confident appearance, maybe he can really find the 'black hand' behind the scenes! Let him try. It saves him trouble!
To help Liu Tianhua clear his name as a spy, Gu Hui returned to his single apartment and began to investigate.
As Eric thought, Gu Hui was also called "Lonely Soul"! However, that was his online name! And this name had a high reputation in the world of hackers, known as one of the world's top ten hackers.
Gu Hui was also an esper, but he was a relatively rare type of esper, a psychic. However, his esper ability was somewhat "useless"; it was neither an attacking type nor an assisting type, but it kept his mind always excited, meaning his brain never got tired.
Because of this unusual ability, Gu Hui left the orphanage at a young age and refused to live with others because he didn't want others to see him, who never needed to sleep, as a "monster" like those little kids!
Of course, this "useless" esper ability was still somewhat useful. It at least doubled Gu Hui's study time, and his memory and reaction were also very fast, which was very helpful for him as a "hacker"!
Gu Hui easily hacked into the internal system of Ling Yan Group, and after a few taps on the keyboard, the screen immediately displayed the words "decoding successful," followed by three hours of intensive work.
The truth was revealed.
The real thief was a middle-aged man in his forties. He had secretly installed video surveillance equipment in Liu Tianhua's office in advance. When Liu Tianhua stored documents or viewed information, he secretly filmed the password sequence. Then, he used a U disk to steal the confidential documents at a time when no one was around.
All of his actions were recorded by the surveillance video in the company, but no one knew because someone had deleted the footage!
Gu Hui had a way to recover these "deleted files," and he also confirmed the identity of the middle-aged man through the company's personnel information.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Copying the recovered video materials onto a U disk, Gu Hui stretched and said triumphantly, "Uncle Liu, I will make sure that the Chairman of Ling Yan Group personally invites you back to work!"
