Chapter 100 - 100 All-round Attack, Cornered
100 All-round Attack, Cornered
“Boss, something major has happened!” Zhao Na knocked on the door and entered Li Chengqian’s office. Her voice was very anxious.
At this moment, a medicinal fragrance wafted over. Zhao Na saw that there was a transparent bottle on Li Chengqian’s table. Only half a bottle of top grade wolfberries were left.
Then, she also noticed that Li Chengqian’s face was flushed, and his body was twitching slightly.
When Zhao Na saw this, she involuntarily took a step back. When she saw that Li Chengqian’s hands were on the computer, she spoke gingerly. The way she looked at Li Chengqian became very strange, and her tone was also very strange. “Boss, are you in the middle of something?”
“What is it?” Li Chengqian didn’t notice Zhao Na’s curious gaze at all. The aftereffects of the Mental Coding skill made his body ache. Even after he stopped using this skill, his body was still twitching habitually. The wolfberries that he had just swallowed were taking effect, making his body heat up and his face flushed.
As Li Chengqian answered, he moved his trembling hands away from the computer. Before moving his hands away, he glanced at the development progress of the Divine Dragon operating system core.
[Divine Dragon Operating System core completion rate: 58.6%!]
After returning from the competition at Tianbao City, Li Chengqian would continue his development of the Divine Dragon Operating System core whenever he could find the time. After eating a large amount of medicinal wolfberries, almost half of this huge system had already been completed.
“Boss, something major has happened!” Zhao Na couldn’t care less and reported the situation.
“Firstly, all the mobile phone manufacturers have updated their mobile phone systems almost at the same time. The new mobile phone system prohibits the installation of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. They have also issued a security risk warning on our App.”
“Secondly, a large number of articles have appeared on the internet accusing us of stealing users. A user claimed he has been scammed of 30,000 yuan because of the App. Another user claimed that her chat with her boyfriend was leaked online because of the App.”
“There are also users who claimed that after they installed the Divine Dragon Optimization App, their personal photos on their phones were posted everywhere on the internet.”
“These articles were widely shared, reposted, read, and commented on.”
“The reputation of our Divine Dragon Optimization App has suffered a huge blow. Almost all of them are negative reviews,” Zhao Na quickly said. Seeing that Li Chengqian’s expression didn’t change at all, she couldn’t help but admire him.
“Boss, Wu Botao, the Vice President of Strategy at Alibaba Corporation, revealed online that you hacked into Tencent Corporation and Baidu Corporation’s servers and planted a virus into all their software. That’s why the two companies are recommending the Divine Dragon Optimization App.”
“Wu Botao also tagged He Hongyan and Li Jinteng. The two of them haven’t responded.”
“Under these circumstances, netizens would conclude that they have tacitly agreed with Wu Botao’s statement.” Zhao Na looked at Li Chengqian worriedly.
Zhao Na witnessed Li Chengqian hack into Baidu’s server with her own eyes. The next day, all of Baidu’s platforms started recommending the Divine Dragon Optimization App.
Thereafter, Tencent Corporation also started recommending the Divine Dragon Optimization App.
This was exactly the same modus operandi.
Zhao Na was 100% confident that Tencent Corporation had been hacked by Li Chengqian.
The news that Wu Botao posted on Weibo was true!
“On the internet, they say that our Divine Dragon Software Company is a virus company and that you’re… a virus manufacturer.”
“There were even a lot of posts requesting to close down the Divine Dragon Software Company, arrest you, and lock you up.”
“Due to the impact of this incident, there was a huge number of un-installations of the Divine Dragon Optimization App. Currently, the installation number is only… 1.03 million! And the installation number is still decreasing.” Zhao Na looked at the data on her phone. In less than 10 minutes, the installation numbers of the App had decreased by about 500,000 again.
At this rate, in a few days, the number of installations of the App would fall below 100,000.
In fact, Zhao Na still had some other updates. The Divine Dragon Software Company’s website was already flooded with netizens’ hate mail.
The situation is the same on its official Weibo page.
“Boss, there’s a more serious situation. Under the lead of trolls, many netizens have already left messages on the website of the Cyberspace Administration Office. They are demanding a thorough investigation of our company!” The Cyberspace Administration Office was an organization that specialized in managing information technology and internet technology. It is a powerful body and any matters that it gets involved in are serious issues.
Moreover, the wicked will be punished.
Zhao Na didn’t know if Li Chengqian had done any other wicked things.
However, Zhao Na knew one thing for sure. Li Chengqian had really hacked the servers of two internet giants and controlled their servers.
If the Cyberspace Administration Office stepped in to investigate, Li Chengqian might… be in big trouble!
“Boss, everything else is inconsequential. If the money is gone, we can earn it back. If the company is gone, we can set up a new company again.”
“But the issue with the Cyberspace Administration Office is a serious matter, you need to prioritize this and try to deal with it immediately…”
“Because if you’re not careful, you may be imprisoned. This is no laughing matter,” Zhao Na said extremely solemnly.
This set of actions was a comprehensive and organized attack. From the company, to the products, and even to the boss, they are not letting anyone off the hook.
Divine Dragon Software Company has now been cornered.
This made Zhao Na feel despair.
Because she felt that Divine Dragon Software Company would be completely destroyed in this storm.
“Their methods are even more powerful than I imagined!” Li Chengqian said coldly. In fact, he had long expected that the phone manufacturers were not sitting ducks.
They would definitely take action after they realize that the Divine Dragon Optimization App was getting popular.
That was because once the Divine Dragon Optimization App became popular, it would be a good thing for mobile phone users, they don’t have to keep paying for new phones anymore.
However, this was not a good thing for the mobile phone manufacturers. If their phones could not be sold, they would definitely incur losses.
“Zhao Na, I have understood the situation.”
“Regarding the Divine Dragon Optimization App, send a clarification to all users. Tell them that we didn’t steal any data. You don’t have to do anything else,” Li Chengqian said.
“Coincidentally, I also have something to talk to you about.” Li Chengqian looked at Zhao Na and changed the topic. He didn’t talk about the company anymore.
Zhao Na was shocked by Li Chengqian’s gaze, especially when she thought of Li Chengqian’s strange behavior when she first entered the office. She immediately became nervous. She was afraid that Li Chengqian would make some unreasonable requests.
Li Chengqian said calmly, “I’ve sent you a list of items to procure. Please purchase 100 sets.”
“I’m making a trip to Dragon City tomorrow. It might take a few days.” The Divine Dragon Optimization App has been selected for the National Foundational Improvement Project. The App has already been reviewed by the software experts, I only have to attend the interview. After obtaining the approval of the experts, the Divine Dragon Optimization App would officially be included in the National Foundational Improvement Project.
As long as this step was completed, with the endorsement of the country and the country’s publicity, all the boycotts, slanders, and rumors would be destroyed.
Divine Dragon Software Company would be seen in a positive light again.
Users will no longer have to worry about the Divine Dragon Optimization App stealing data from their phones.
It could be said that this trip to Dragon City was critical.
“After I return from Dragon City, I want to use the things I asked you to buy. This is the first thing, please make sure you get this done properly.” These materials would be used to make the beta brainwave receiver. Li Chengqian had already prioritized the brainwave receiver.
“The second thing you have to remember is that I have never hacked into Tencent Corporation.” Li Chengqian’s voice was very calm, as if he had really never done it.
Zhao Na frowned.
This was a critical juncture for the company. If Li Chengqian didn’t handle the situation properly, the company could be seized and he could be arrested.
It was ridiculous that Li Chengqian actually wanted to go to Dragon City at a time like this.
At this moment, Xiaoli dashed in and said anxiously.
“Boss, the CEO of Baidu Corporation, He Hongyan, and the CEO of Tencent Corporation, Li Jinteng, have come to our company.”
“They said they wanted to talk to you.”
Xiaoli knew about the company’s situation. She felt that this was an opportunity for the Divine Dragon Software Company to turn the tables.
Zhao Na’s eyes lit up, and they were filled with hope. “Boss, if we can get Baidu Corporation and Tencent Corporation to clear our company’s name, our company’s reputation might still be salvaged.”
“Then let’s talk.” Li Chengqian’s voice was calm.
Under the current circumstances, would Baidu Corporation and Tencent Corporation be open to peaceful talks? Definitely not!
However, there were some issues that he should raise. It’s time to show his hand.
