Chapter 41 Leaks

Although what was leaked was only a design drawing and did not involve the core technology of the product, Hengyue still faced the issue of compensation for breach of contract.

The fastest and best solution right now is to negotiate urgently with the customer and try to reach an agreement on a remedial plan.

In the worst case, if an agreement cannot be reached, it is necessary to prepare for a lawsuit.

Of course, Jiang Weiguo and the board of directors couldn't hide the fact that such a big incident happened.

Jiang Weiguo and other important shareholders organized an emergency meeting of various departments to discuss the solution to this matter.

Knowing that internal information has been leaked, the staff in various departments are very nervous.

"It's over, this matter can't be settled, this year is all for nothing." The research and development director complained in a low voice.

"Baigan is not bad. If the company is sued by customers, the responsible person will be held accountable. Can you still stay in the group?" The head of the design department glanced at Jiang Xingyu, and shook his head helplessly at the R&D director. "It's the design drawing that got out! Our department is going to be turned upside down! I don't know if we can clear up the suspicion."

The director of the production department breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it was just a sample, and it has not been put into mass production. Otherwise, this shell will definitely be scrapped. The loss will be even greater."

"But can this matter be settled? I'm afraid we can only fight the tough battle with the legal department?" Jiang Xueyi's former assistant, Xiao Cheng, has been promoted to the legal supervisor after Jiang Xueyi took a part-time job in the sales department. He looked at Jiang Xueyi with a smile At first glance, he wished to take this opportunity to perform well, saying that if he couldn't, he could get a second round of promotion.

Jiang Xueyi didn't say a word, and sat in the venue with a serious expression, squinting back at Xiao Cheng, Xiao Cheng kept silent and stopped talking.

Everyone was still whispering to each other, but after Jiang Weiguo sat down, he coughed twice to clear his throat, and then they calmed down.

"What's going on? You all talk about it." Jiang Weiguo looked unhappy, said "you" on his lips, but nodded his head at Jiang Xingyu.

Now everyone is staring at Jiang Xingyu, because he is the person directly responsible for signing the project with the client, and he is also the one with the most frequent and comprehensive access to information. What's more, the salesman who leaked the picture is also from the sales department, so he naturally bears the brunt of being the The first object of suspicion.

Jiang Xingyu looked around at everyone in the venue, with regret on his face, and self-reflected: "Seeing that the project is about to be completed, but such a thing happened, it is really a pity that everyone's efforts for so long have come to naught. The custom project itself is my responsibility. In the section that we want to vigorously develop this year, we have the successful case of Kexing first, and we can say that we have also accumulated successful experience. Unexpectedly, there was such a big mistake. The colleague who leaked the document was indeed a salesman. Ministry personnel. I am very sorry for this and I am sorry."

Is this the rhythm of pleading guilty...Because of the previous incident, he has already been punished and demoted. If he also confesses to this incident, he will be kicked out of the board of directors, right?It seems that the performance of the sales department this year has finally improved. If the company struggles to lose some money, the income will definitely be worse than last year, and everyone's interests will be affected.

The heads of key departments looked at each other, sweating uncontrollably.

Jiang Xingyu paused, and continued to add seriously: "I have always been very cautious about this project. I hand over information with customers through encrypted emails and sealed paper documents. Every link is strictly in accordance with the company's procedures. The next step is only after approval by the leader. Regarding this point, you can check the signatures on the relevant paper records, as well as the system approval records. In addition, my computer and computer can also be handed over to the IT department for review. There is absolutely no The situation of privately downloading and circulating documents.”

"I also asked the salesman who took this picture to make a presentation plan, and he said that he downloaded this picture from the company's database, but this is undisclosed information, how could it appear in the company's database? ? As the direct person in charge of the project, it is even more impossible for me to give him the picture in private and do such a thing that damages the interests of the entire company."

"Let me make a statement first. I said this not to shirk responsibility. I will do my best to discuss the remedial plan with the customer. Instead, I want to clarify exactly where the problem occurred, so as to avoid such a thing from happening again. Otherwise There is no guarantee that our remediation plan will not be leaked. So we have to find out where the loopholes are."

Zhou Xing was not at the meeting.

The big conference room was separated from the financial office by a wall. When Jiang Xingyu was speaking, he was handing in documents in the financial room.

He could hear Jiang Xingyu's voice, but he couldn't hear exactly what he said, so he could only prick up his ears to distinguish carefully.

"Here...Xiao Zhou, you made a mistake here, you should write a new one." The accountant pointed to his list and called him, but he didn't react for a while.

"Xiao Zhou?" The treasurer called again.

"Oh!" He took the list, his palms were sweaty. "I'll rewrite it and send it back."

Everyone discussed again.

"Right. What if it leaks again?"

"You said you didn't give it, so who can prove it?"

"How did it get out?"

"Every step of new product development must be signed by the superior director to continue to circulate, right? Doesn't he know anything?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone stared at Jiang Xueyi in unison.

Since the approval of the "leadership" has been obtained, Jiang Xueyi is also to blame.

Jiang Xueyi's expression seemed to be at ease, but in order to match the overall atmosphere, he still smiled apologetically: "I was patronizing to develop new business, and I didn't manage the people in my department well, causing everyone trouble. For the salesman who leaked the blueprint , our department will definitely punish him severely."

Jiang Weimin said: "For now, you put aside the matter of making money and punishing people, and quickly study our contract with Hua Sheng to see if we have a chance of winning in case of a lawsuit. This is the most practical thing. "

Jiang Xueyi flipped through the documents in his hand, pointed to certain items, and said seriously: "Actually, in the confidentiality agreement between us and Huasheng, the items clearly listed in the confidential content include technology, patents, and channels. , advertising, etc., but the appearance of having a generic template shell is not clearly specified in the fine print."

"That's not very good! Even if we don't go to court, the terms of the contract can be used as a bargaining chip for us to negotiate with our clients." Jiang Weimin said with a smile: "At critical moments, it really is the legal background that can save the day."

"You have to talk to customers like this, and you won't even think about doing business in the future." Jiang Weiguo kept his head down and listened to what they were talking about, and suddenly smiled coldly, and answered with a livid face. "The performance of the sales department has declined this quarter. The internal changes of our Hengyue have been known to our competitors, and they must seize the opportunity to snatch customers. In this way, you don't solve the customer's problem, but you still use the terms of the contract to 'threat' 'Customer, are you going to cut yourself off?!"

Jiang Weimin was speechless and his face was very ugly, but because it was Jiang Weiguo who attacked him, he could only swallow his dissatisfaction and resentment.

"The legal department should be the first to discover the 'loophole' in our contract with Huasheng?" Jiang Xingyu asked, "Since there are loopholes in the contract, why didn't Manager Cheng give me a risk warning before signing the contract? Or, Only you and Brother Yi know about this?" Jiang Xingyu asked.

"Ah?! I don't know." Supervisor Cheng looked confused.

"That's the loophole, Brother Yi was the first to discover it?" Jiang Xingyu looked serious, completely free from the initial bewilderment, and stared at Jiang Xueyi calmly and sharply.

Manager Cheng blinked, and suddenly understood, he interrupted to defend: "What's the matter! This loophole has no effect on Hengyue, as long as we are the favorable party in the contract."

"Because we knew we would win the lawsuit, did we deliberately leak the 'least important' documents?" Jiang Xingyu mused.

In just a split second, the target of the meeting point from Jiang Xingyu to Jiang Xueyi.

"What evidence do you have to prove that I leaked the document? What? Did you spit on people in order to avoid responsibility? Have you done your own business?" Jiang Xueyi frowned and gave him a look, then closed the document in front of him with a "swish" and waved Get out of the leadership position.

"Brother Yi, you really didn't disclose the documents?" Jiang Xingyu met his gaze without flinching.

Jiang Xueyi spread his hands and sneered: "Everyone goes through the same process, and I can also ask the IT department to check my computer. If I haven't saved it privately, I haven't saved it privately."

"Okay. Then we might as well look it up and rule out everyone's suspicions. It will save you effort in the follow-up work. Now let's ask colleagues from the IT department to come over."

"Check and check! You are not afraid of the shadow when you are upright." Jiang Xueyi folded his hands on his chest.

"I need to investigate, but what I want more is a solution!" Jiang Weiguo was a little impatient, "If there is a problem, I don't want to solve it, and each one knows the internal struggle. That's why we can't compete with our competitors!"

"Chairman, please rest assured that a solution is already in place. But in order to maintain the company's information security, the things that need to be investigated must be investigated first, otherwise there will be no way to carry out the subsequent work. If it happens again, the loss will be immeasurable." Jiang Xingyu Stern way.

It was rare for Jiang Xingyu to be so aggressive.This time he was really calm and confident.

Jiang Xueyi quietly stared at Jiang Xingyu's profile, feeling a little flustered in his heart.Did he really have any evidence in his hand?He was momentarily at a loss.

Soon, the IT department sent top engineers to the meeting to check Jiang Xingyu and Jiang Xueyi's laptops on the spot.

"No records of private downloads were found." The engineer reported to Jiang Weiguo.

Jiang Xueyi breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at Jiang Xingyu proudly.

Jiang Xingyu ignored him, but asked the engineer: "Then, has the database been tampered with? If the data system has been hacked, it should be able to be discovered, right?"

"I'll take a look first," said the engineer.

"Can I watch it now? How long will it take? Can I find the IP address?" Jiang Weiguo asked.

"Okay, generally speaking, about ten minutes. But if the other party has done a lot of cover and encryption, it may take longer." The engineer said.He turned to Jiang Xingyu: "Borrow the computer."

"Hacker?! Is it so serious?" Everyone at the scene made incredible guesses.

"The other family hired someone to hack our system, why did they only change this picture secretly?"

"Is it not certain? What if the salesman lied?!"

Jiang Xueyi was expressionless.

He stared intently at the engineer who borrowed Jiang Xingyu's computer for investigation, and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar codes on the screen calmly, scrolling across the screen one after another.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and it seemed that 20 minutes were approaching, and the atmosphere at the scene became anxious again.

Finally, the engineer stopped, adjusted his wide black-rimmed glasses, and said to Jiang Weiguo, "Chairman, I found out. The system has indeed been hacked, and the IP is encrypted by the other party. I haven't cracked it yet. But it should be able to crack it." , I’ll go back and try again.”
