Chapter 276 - Cyberattack II
Chapter 276 – Cyberattack II
After Gu Zhang gave her the authority to take the action, Xu Nuan turned to the Head of the IT department and stood up.
She took out a business card from her bag and handed it to him, " You can contact them through their email ID. This is their business card. You can send them mail and wait for the response. If they accept your request, they will revert to you. Otherwise…."
Grandfather Gu frowned and asked, " Xu Nuan, how do you know about this company? You have no reason to get to know a new cybersecurity company."
" I just got to know about them coincidently. However, I don't know much about them either. This business card is all I have with me."
The IT guy stared at the card in his hand and was left speechless. 'The Eagle Eye Cyber Security? What kind of company name is this?' He wondered.
The business card was simple and classy in its own unique way. The matte black card has an eagle made in the middle, while the name of the company was written on the top in golden color.
There wasn't much information about the company on the card, except one email address. He grew worried and was not sure if this company would take on this project or not.
If they don't, then it will become even more difficult for them to deal with this situation. Because no other companies are willing to take this project at the moment.
–
After handing him the card, Xu Nuan turned to Grandfather Gu and said, "Grandfather, I will take my leave now. I don't think there is any need for me to stay here anymore."
The old man nodded at her and allowed her to go. It's not like she can do anything by staying here either. It's better to go and rest.
" Go and take a rest. Don't think much about this issue. Everything will be alright." He said to not make her worry.
However, she could see the distress in his eyes clearly and smiled, " Of course, everything will be fine. You also should go home and rest. Don't take much stress."
–
After bidding him goodbye, she didn't go to the college or office. Instead, she took a taxi to go home.
As soon as she reached home, she changed into comfortable clothes and sat in the living room with her laptop. She put the laptop on charging before checking the mailbox, not her personal one, but for work.
In the mailbox, there was new mail that was waiting for her. Her lips curled up to see an official mail from the Gu Enterprises to take up the project to fight the cyber attack on their system. In the mail, it was written that they can discuss the payment and their main priority right now is to deal with this situation urgently.
Her lips curled up in a smirk before she sent them a reply. After replying to their mail, she stretched her hand and took a sip of her strawberry flavored milk, while waiting for the answer.
–
In the conference room, the Head of the IT department was sitting at the table while staring at his laptop and kept on refreshing, hoping to see a response from the other party.
Gu Zhang was walking back and forth behind him in worry, hoping the man would accept their request as well. " Did he reply?"
The man shook his head disappointedly, " Not yet. I don't know if we should fully depend on this person or not. I think we should-
His employee, who was checking the mailbox as well on his laptop, shouted in excitement, " It's here. He replied."
" Really?"
Gu Zhang looked at the laptop screen and pursed his lips to see an indifferent response from the other party.
[ It will be a hundred thousand dollars for this kind of issue. Since you'll be my first client, I am giving you a heavy discount, otherwise, my fees are higher than this. The payment will be made after the work. Deal or no deal?]
The Head of the IT department was not sure upon reading the 'first client' in the mail. " Sir, what should we do about it? I am not sure if this person can deal with this problem or not."
Gu Zhang pursed his lips and after some consideration, he said, " Go with it. Since the payment will be made only after the work is done, there is no harm in going ahead with it. Let's say yes, for now."
The employee nodded and responded to the mail as Gu Zhang's suggestion.
–
Xu Nuan raised her brows to see their response and was surprised at how quickly they responded. They must be on their toes at this moment.
" Should I get on with the work too?" She stretched her fingers before starting her magic.
The cybersecurity company that she had recommended to Gu Zhang, was the project on which she was working for quite a while.
Since she wanted to fulfill her dream and built an entertainment company where artists can focus on polishing their skills, rather than money-making only, she needed to give them the required sources.
And to that, she will need quite a lot of money. Training the idols or actors is something that requires a lot of patience and investment. She can't be hasty with it and starts an entertainment company randomly.
And the easiest way to earn that money is through investment or doing something to make money. However, along with investments from the investors, she will still have some of her money saved up too.
Since she has incredible skills, why not use them? She registered this cybersecurity company a while ago and was wondering how to promote it so that she will not need to show her face or name to anyone.
However, she wasn't expecting to get a project this soon. And that project will be from Gu enterprises, which was even more surprising to her.
But she is not stupid to let go of this opportunity. Business is business, in no way she will give her services to Gu enterprises for free. Even though they're her family, at least to the real Xu Nuan, they owe her a lot.
Moreover, if they have gotten someone from outside, they would have paid them too. Then why not, she takes the payment and solves the issue for them?
–
A frown appeared on Xu Nuan's forehead as she penetrated through Gu enterprise's security wall easily. " It's quite vulnerable. No doubt their system got hacked like this." she shook her head in disappointment as she checked the condition of the attack.
" Seems like it's gonna take quite a while to solve this issue." she groaned before getting on the real work.
The hours went by as the sun set up and night came in no time, however, the work was still not done.
Her eyes became tired and her body started to feel stiff and tired. " I am tired…" she groaned, " But I have work to do!!" she cried out while her fingers were typing on the laptop.
Although it was quite difficult to work through this laptop only, she doesn't have enough money to arrange a whole professional set-up for herself. It would have been better if she could get a custom-made computer for herself with multiple monitor screens. That will be heaven for her.
She was so engrossed in her work that she didn't notice her ringing doorbell, not the phone that was on the vibration.
–
Han Zihao, who was waiting for her at his place with dinner, frowned when she didn't pick up the call nor responded to him when he rang the doorbell. He tried to unlock the password but it seems like she has changed the password after the last time.
How petty!!
" Why isn't she responding to my calls? Her lights are on so she is definitely at home, then why?" He wondered in worry.
" Is she sleeping?" He thought. Since she has to study and work at the same time, it must be exhausting for her.
" I think I should call her again after some time." He thought before putting the dishes away in the fridge.
–
" Finally!! It's done." Xu Nuan clapped her hands in happiness before stretching her sore body. She drank her 5th cup of cold coffee and sent the mail to the IT department.
–
Gu Zhang was sitting at the table in the conference room tiredly as he looked at the time. It was past 3 am already. However, there is still no news from the other side.
He hasn't left the office and wasn't planning to do so before resolving this issue. The company's future is at stake, how can he go home and relax in this situation.
The whole IT department was like this as they all were waiting and were trying to reduce the harm as much as possible.
The head of the IT department, who was accompanying Gu Zhang in the conference room beamed when he received the mail from the other party, " Sir, we got a new mail."
Gu Zhang, whose eyes were drooping and was tired, his eyes lit up upon hearing his words. He immediately stood up and walked by his side. He looked into his screen and read the mail;
[Mission completed!! The malware has been removed and the bugs have been fixed as well. Your company's security wall is quite weak, no doubt it got hacked so easily. Anyway, the account details are below, send the payment on this account. Good night!!]
Gu Zhang was speechless and glanced at the head of the IT department, " Did he say that the situation is under control now? Go and check the status of the system. Also, how much damage has been done, and if the issue has been resolved, fully?" He hurries the man to go and check the situation.
He thought that it will take a long but it has been resolved sooner than he had expected.
" Yes Sir. I'll go right away."
