Chapter 134 Overture
Chapter 134 Overture
On Monday morning, when the police brought the first batch of 35 people who might be infected with the "psychological virus" to Zhiwei Technology, Wei Hongsi had already made the necessary arrangements. As soon as they arrived, the staff immediately began monitoring and diagnosing them.
In the initial stages of this work, the original CDU project team will still be in charge. Subsequently, Wei Hongsi will arrange for new project team members to join and gradually take over until the personnel change is completed.
However, not everyone will be replaced. Several members of the original team have been selected by Wei Hongsi as new members of the project team. With these "veterans" leading the way, the personnel transition will be smoother and will not affect the normal operation of the project team.
The only new member is Yuan Zhenhui. However, Wei Hongsi plans to involve him more in data analysis work; his assignment to the monitoring room is only temporary.
Seeing that the monitoring and diagnostic work was proceeding in an orderly manner, Wei Hongsi returned to his office and began to talk to the personnel seconded from the Second Department one by one.
This is not an interview. When a new member joins, they always need to meet with the supervisor to get to know each other.
By meeting these individuals in person, Wei Hongsi can form a concrete impression and match it with the photos and resumes in their profiles. When introducing the job content and assignments, he can also understand their thoughts and reactions, which cannot be obtained from the documents alone.
Everyone who came in was taken aback when they saw Wei Hongsi. Although their reactions varied, their feelings were all pretty much the same.
At Zhiwei Technology, it's not exactly unheard of for someone to become a manager at the age of 23 or 24, but they are extremely rare.
After all, both education and work experience take a lot of time to develop. Without these two things, what makes you a manager?
Moreover, several people had seen Wei Hongsi before. Although there were nearly three hundred people in the Second Department, Wei Hongsi had been sitting in the hall for more than two months, so some people who had seen him more often would have an impression of him.
However, although these people were very surprised, they did not raise any questions to his face.
The secondment notice was sent directly to them by the department director, and they did not come to the wrong office, so there could not have been any mistake.
Furthermore, they still held some expectations for this temporary transfer.
Some people are like Yuan Zhenhui, who have had enough of their original team and would be happy to change their environment; others are tired of repetitive work and want to try new challenges in a new field.
Some people think that someone so young can become a manager, either because they have exceptional talent or because they have connections. They believe that following such a leader should lead to a promising future.
Of course, as long as they can be retained, they will receive a salary increase of no less than 10%, and the driving effect this brings to them cannot be ignored.
But not questioning doesn't mean there are no doubts.
People in technical fields are often a bit arrogant. Taking advantage of the opportunity to learn about the work, these people raised some technical questions, some of which were quite tricky.
This secondment is a two-way selection process. Wei Hongsi can choose these people, and these people also have the right to refuse.
Skipping this step or rushing through it could not only lead to some people leaving and requiring a re-selection, but also impact subsequent work. For a team to function efficiently, the trust of its members in its leader is crucial.
Therefore, Wei Hongsi cannot simply deal with them; he must at least dispel their most basic doubts.
Due to limited work experience, if he encounters a case he has never faced before, he may not be able to answer it before fully understanding it.
Fortunately, these people weren't too outrageous; they only raised questions based on the job responsibilities of their new positions, which made it easy to handle them with ease.
Such meetings and communications are quite time-consuming; it took more than two hours for all seven people to meet.
Wei Hongsi was about to check the diagnoses of the people the police had brought when a message popped up on his WD, instructing him to come to the president's office, 2801, immediately.
Wei Hongsi replied "Received," locked his phone, and left the office.
He guessed that the head of the task force was with Director Dai. It was almost noon, and the details of the cooperation between the two parties should have been discussed long ago. Anything else to be discussed, and that he was asked to attend, was probably related to the case.
When they took the elevator to the 28th floor, Liu Zhifeng was still waiting in the elevator lobby.
Wei Hongsi followed him into the president's office. Upon entering the work area, he glanced at everyone present. Last time, he was unfamiliar with the environment and hadn't paid enough attention; this time, he wouldn't be so careless.
On the sofa in the reception area, Dai Songquan sat at the head of the table, with Ji Yongsheng and Gu Shiming to his left. Three people sat on the guest side: Director Liang and Director Shi in the center, and Yu Zhen to the side. It was unexpected that all three leaders had come.
Wei Hongsi first nodded to Dai Songquan and other company leaders, and then greeted the three leaders of the special task force.
Director Liang stood up, shook hands with Wei Hongsi, and said with a smile, "Professor Wei, it's a pleasure to be here on your home turf today."
Then Director Shi shook hands with Wei Hongsi and exchanged a few pleasantries.
When shaking hands, Yu Zhen patted Wei Hongsi's upper arm, showing great intimacy.
Upon seeing Director Liang stand up, Dai Songquan and the other two also stood up, watching this scene with smiles, their hearts filled with surprise.
They knew that Wei Hongsi was assisting the police with some work, and that it was likely quite effective. In previous conversations, although the details of the case were few, several police leaders had spoken highly of Wei Hongsi.
But they hadn't expected these leaders to treat Wei Hongsi with such courtesy. Given Director Liang's rank and age, Director Shi could have easily treated Wei Hongsi as a junior, seated him properly, and greeted him respectfully.
They took the initiative to stand up and shake hands with Wei Hongsi, indicating that the help he provided to the police was very important, and that he had earned this treatment through his abilities.
After everyone sat down again, Wei Hongsi sat next to Gu Shiming.
Director Shi said, "Besides commissioning the diagnosis and treatment of 'psychological virus,' we have another very important collaboration to discuss with Director Dai."
Dai Songquan nodded and said, "Director Shi, please speak."
Director Shi said, "As I just mentioned, this case was planned by a transnational criminal organization. It has now been determined that the organization's attack on Zhiwei's AI system was premeditated, and your company is the victim in this case."
Dai Songquan nodded. Ji Yongsheng and Gu Shiming felt the pressure on their shoulders ease considerably.
As the saying goes, "You can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days." If you're targeted by a transnational criminal organization, while it's not impossible to defend against, at least the responsibility they bear is very small, or even nonexistent.
Director Shi added, "Your company began research on the prevention and treatment of 'psychological viruses' at the early stages of the case, which provided us with a great deal of assistance. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to find a suitable client for this case."
