Chapter 631: Chapter 631: Numb (Recommended to Skip)
"I know, your laziness has flared up again."
Zhou Yaling rolled her eyes while sipping her juice, too lazy to argue back.
Because what her brother said was true.
Candy’s attention wasn’t on the two, but rather on the cake.
After eating the cherries off the cake, Candy’s eyes squinted with delight.
Out of all the fruits, cherries were the best, only rivaled by the tips of strawberries.
"Brother, why is there still cake?"
"There was a particularly large cake at the event tonight, so I brought some back for you two."
As he spoke, Mo Jingchun, holding a bowl and chopsticks, walked out of the kitchen and joined the hotpot feast.
While eating the cake, Candy curiously asked, "Brother, haven’t you already eaten?"
"Oh, don’t mention it, I wasn’t full."
"Were you just pretending to be reserved?" Zhou Yaling interjected.
"You get me so well. This kind of socializing just isn’t for me."
"Hehe, I’m telling you, probably no one at that table got full."
Mo Jingchun said with a somewhat peculiar expression, "I guess it partly had to do with me."
"Because I don’t drink alcohol."
Under the moonlight, Little Grey shivered in the bushes and ran back into the house, leaving a wet patch behind.
Once Little Grey was inside, the villa’s door closed on its own.
It was already late at night, and the villa was quiet.
Back in its nook, Little Grey curled up and was soon fast asleep.
The woman looked at the young man before her, feeling uneasy.
After more than two months of running around and verification through multiple channels, it was confirmed that the videos and photos encrypted by Candy’s algorithm could only be decrypted by the young man in front of her.
This young man was none other than the legendary founder of Candy Technology, Mo Jingchun.
"I’m sorry... I..."
The woman spoke, not Mo Jingchun, who had been silently watching her.
Mo Jingchun couldn’t understand how, after just a nap, Candy Technology suddenly got thrust into the spotlight because of this person.
The small meeting room, only a few square meters in size, had Mo Jingchun, the woman, Xia Xiaomin, and a police officer present.
Standing to the side, Xia Xiaomin looked at the woman with a mix of pity and anger, knowing she had been used by others but still responsible for Candy Technology’s rise in the hot searches.
A phone lay in the middle of the conference table.
Having reviewed the police report, the identity of this... auntie seemed legitimate.
"Auntie, firstly, let me make it clear that the videos and photos on the phone were encrypted by your daughter’s own choice."
"Additionally, while we sympathize with your daughter’s situation, we want you to understand that it has nothing to do with us."
"I know... I know, I just want to recover my daughter’s videos and photos on the phone, and not let the bad guys go free."
When it came to users’ privacy, Mo Jingchun exercised great caution.
If he wasn’t careful, their hard-promoted smart assistants might be pulled from the entire network due to privacy issues.
Mo Jingchun picked up the phone and connected it to a computer via a data cable.
"Zero, connect to the supercomputer for a brute force attack on Candy’s encryption algorithm."
Mo Jingchun stood by the window, watching the departing police and the auntie, his brow furrowed.
Whatever was on the phone, Mo Jingchun didn’t look, and he didn’t want to know.
But one thing was clear: the people behind this had achieved their goal.
Candy’s encryption algorithm wasn’t unbreakable; it was just that outsiders couldn’t crack the key.
Mo Jingchun chuckled coldly. These people thought they could easily break the encryption and acquire the technology. If it were that easy, would he be at ease?
"Stealing my Candy’s pocket money is one thing, but treating me like a pushover?"
Xia Xiaomin, standing behind Mo Jingchun, was momentarily unsure whether to leave or stay. Boss, you could just think this, did you have to say it out loud?
"Suspend all commercial activities with Japan, close the stores, and also notify the regional representatives to halt sales activities in Japan."
Xia Xiaomin hesitated for a moment and cautiously asked, "Including the leukemia special medication?"
Mo Jingchun waved his hand. "Just do it. They want to thrust Candy Technology into the spotlight? I’ll help fan the flames. What a great thing."
"They should be grateful to me."
As Xia Xiaomin discreetly withdrew, she felt a sense of quiet acknowledgment. The boss is still the same, never changing, always taking things to the extreme.
Huawei, using its strength, has dared to confront the Beautiful Country. The boss is planning to follow suit, isn’t he?
No, he’s not planning to; he’s already started.
With the news that the founder of Candy Technology personally cracked the secret algorithm spreading online, some hadn’t been happy for even ten minutes before Candy Technology’s announcement skyrocketed the buzz.
And the hype around the mother and daughter quietly faded from netizens’ view.
In the National Cybersecurity Center, the enormous hall was filled with excited staff watching the announcement from Candy Technology on the big screen.
Sitting in his office chair, Mo Jingchun listened to Xia Xiaomin’s report, a slight smile forming on his lips.
"Since they’re so welcoming, there’s no reason not to go."
"Have Xu Pengfei inform Tokyo’s two managers to take their employees to the Beautiful Country."
The truth is, someone with an extreme personality can be terrifying.
When the employees of Candy Technology in Tokyo boarded the plane to the Beautiful Country, some eventually couldn’t sit still.
White can leave, but the leukemia special medicine is indispensable.
At night, Mo Jingchun had washed up and was ready for bed.
At this moment, the long-awaited call finally came.
Seeing Qin Yuzhu’s call, Mo Jingchun knew that he had won this psychological game.
Not by cleverness, but by the other’s pressure.
"They handed over... um, the little thieves who stole your Candy’s pocket money."
When Qin Yuzhu said that, it felt a bit odd.
"As expected."
The two talked about the events as if having a conversation. After a while, Qin Yuzhu was silent for a moment and asked, "Can the Candy encryption algorithm be cracked?"
Mo Jingchun knew this was something the higher-ups wanted to know, considering the Candy encryption algorithm was already applied in many fields.
"I can, but that doesn’t mean anyone else can."
"You must have tried yourselves, right?"
"Not to brag, but even with AI and supercomputers, it’s impossible in thirty years."
Qin Yuzhu asked, "How did you crack it?"
"Sis, that’s a trade secret; only I know."
The next day, mentions of Candy Technology disappeared from the trending topics on all major platforms.
Candy Technology resumed its commercial interactions with Japan, except for the newly opened White specialty store, which remained closed.
"Brother, you look really happy."
The little one munching on a fried dough stick blinked and looked at her brother with a grin on his face.
"Do I?" Mo Jingchun smiled slightly.
"Someone’s mouth is grinning from ear to ear," Zhou Yaling said with a smirk.
(This Chapter captures a tricky moment, leaving one a bit overwhelmed as this toxic drama plot concludes.)
