After the meeting, Xiao Xun took the materials back to hold a meeting for the department manager and team leaders. The small conference room next door made meetings much more convenient than before.
Because the cooperation with Jingji Group this time aroused the jealousy of several domestic peers, the company would definitely be attacked in the media.
Therefore, the Guan Gong Department became busy recently. The entire team began to collect materials, especially the daily work of the technical department, to prepare for 'bragging' and controlling public opinion.
Just as they were talking about a strong alliance, others began to resist 'foreign goods' and not be slavish to foreigners. While some said that technology had made a qualitative leap, others began to give domestic products a chance and simultaneously criticize Sentinel Roman's 'traitorous' behavior.
Sentinel Roman and major domestic technology companies engaged in a 'war of words' on various forums and internet media, with netizens narrating it all into a grand drama.
However, Sentinel Roman's popularity increased significantly. To prevent being stifled by other technology companies.
The COO of the parent company proposed that Sentinel Roman should build its own mobile phone.
With mature assembly lines for hardware processing and assembly, a dedicated software development department, and the latest chips from Jingji Group combined with the refined Cloud System based on the Cloud Map System, the concept product received widespread acclaim, ranking first in expectations among phones in the same price range.
After the meeting, Xiao Xun returned to his workstation. Guan Jiawen was cleaning up, and her meticulousness in her work was evident. "Where is Lei Wenxiu?"
Xiao Xun casually asked as he opened his computer. Guan Jiawen shook her head, "I don't know."
Xiao Xun shook his head, lamenting the assistant's lack of presence.
At this moment, the high secretary from the President's Office walked over, carrying a briefcase.
"Director Xiao, the President asked me to give this to you."
After speaking, she opened the briefcase and took out a file bag, inside which were two solid-state drives in plastic packaging.
Xiao Xun recognized them as the hard drives from the two computers that had fallen that night.
"Thank you, just put it there!"
He didn't want to have too much interaction with Secretary Gao, knowing the saying 'it's easy to deal with the devil but hard to deal with minor spirits.' Although he lived with Mu Jiahe, he couldn't guarantee that this person wouldn't gossip.
Secretary Gao suspected that Xiao Xun and Mu Jiahe were in a romantic relationship, so she tried her best to please him. "Director Xiao, are you free tonight? I'd like to invite you to dinner."
Xiao Xun was busy writing materials and didn't notice that Secretary Gao hadn't left.
It was Guan Jiawen who gently kicked Xiao Xun's foot, then glanced at Secretary Gao before turning to look at her.
"Secretary Gao, do you need anything else?"
Secretary Gao, unsure if it was intentional or deliberate, suppressed her anger and smiled. "Director Xiao, I'd like to invite you to dinner tonight."
"No need for dinner, I have quite a few people meeting me tonight. If you have something to say, just say it directly! We're all adults, there's nothing to be shy about."
Secretary Gao found it difficult to explain the reason. With so many eyes watching, if she said something casually that reached the President's ears, who knew how it would be twisted?
If it was rumored that she was competing with the President for a man, she wouldn't have to come to work tomorrow.
With that thought, she waved her hand, "Since you're busy, we'll have to postpone it. Let's try another day!" She then left as if escaping for her life.
The old employees around had never seen the arrogant and overbearing Secretary Gao like this, and they secretly sighed at the new director's strong backing.
Since the technical department used Linux systems, most people couldn't understand them, as they looked like garbled text.
No matter when Secretary Gao visited, their computer interfaces always looked like that, and they seemed idle, so she always felt that the technical department was slacking off and had been repeatedly suggesting to Mu Jiahe that the technical department be streamlined.
However, after Xiao Xun arrived, she dared not say anything more. In the past, her suggestions might have offended her husband at most, but now, saying them might jeopardize her own livelihood.
It was almost noon, and Xiao Xun saved the half-written materials, preparing to get up for lunch.
Just then, a department manager suddenly stood up. "Director Xiao, something's wrong! The company network is under a DDoS attack, and the firewall cannot intercept it effectively."
Xiao Xun was furious. "They really know how to pick their timing. Don't these people eat?"
"Lunchtime is when user traffic is highest, and it's also when our firewall defense is weakest. It seems the attacker is a master."
The entire technical department immediately became flustered.
Xiao Xun immediately switched his computer to the Linux system and asked, "How much longer until the system completely collapses?"
One of the department managers said, "The core memory has exceeded its peak daily value and is approaching its limit."
Xiao Xun's hands flew across the keyboard. "I have already created a new isolation system. You screen the whitelist users and temporarily move them into the isolation system."
Several teams began frantically moving users with higher privileges and activity. Time ticked by second by second.
Xiao Xun's hands were almost cramping. "Now, start establishing a screening mechanism. All users who have sent specific spam messages and have 'bot' identifiers will be blocked outside the firewall."
At this moment, another team leader stood up and shouted, "Director Xiao, the attack volume is too high, our main server can't take it anymore!"
Xiao Xun stood up. "Quick, go to the server room and pull the network cables!"
Everyone present was stunned. Xiao Xun slammed the table and shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up!"
Several teams quickly rushed towards the server room.
Just then, Xiao Xun's phone rang. It was Wang Sucheng calling.
Xiao Xun answered the phone, tilting his head and holding it between his shoulder and ear, while his hands furiously typed on the keyboard.
Before Wang Sucheng could speak, he said into the microphone, "Mr. Wang, the company is under a 'hacker' attack. I'm leading all the technicians to defend against it. I know no application can be accessed right now. If you have nothing else to do, could you please help me call the police!" After saying this, he turned his head forward, letting the phone fall onto the desk.
Suddenly, the network went down, indicating that the server's network cable had been pulled.
Xiao Xun stood up. "Everyone, you have only half an hour. After half an hour, restart the server. You must use this precious half hour to re-architect the firewall, thoroughly check the data traffic of major clients, open green channels, and implement the 'small black room' mechanism."
After speaking, Xiao Xun sat down and continued typing on the computer. "Remember, we only have half an hour."
The entire technical department was filled with the sound of keyboards clicking. The various teams had clear divisions of labor, and soon, the first line of defense was established. Except for the data of major clients, all data caches were formatted.
As everyone was methodically carrying out their tasks, all the computers, except Xiao Xun's, displayed a blue screen and then restarted.
