Chang An was shocked.
She was going to… the Hacker Competition?
Back at thepetition venue, thepetition was going on smoothly.
All the CEOs and representatives from the participatingpanies were there.
An area was sequestered for the VIPs and WIPs who would asionally nce towards thepetition floor to check out the situation.
Right opposite the VIP area was a giant TV screen.
On it were names of the different security software and the respective time taken by different hackers to hack through them. The veryst column showed each of the software’s time average.
The longer the time average, the better the software because it meant that the hackers needed more time to get through its defense.
By now, most of the software produced by smallerpanies had been eliminated.
This happened every year, the first to go were sacrifices from these modestpanies.
As Hwa Xia’s most famous security software, everyone expected Chui Corps’ product to survive until the end.
Chui Ming was beaming with confidence.
After all, it had been 30 minutes since thepetition started. His product was still undefeated. All the other software had been hacked at least once… with the exception of one!
“CEO Chui, don’t you think there are many hidden experts among this year’s participatingpanies? The obvious increase in technology aside, look at that ‘X PC Manager’, it still hasn’t been hacked yet, it could rival your King Kong Inte Security. Furthermore, I heard that this software was a creation from a brand newpany. Maybe it is time for us old geezers to retire from thisputer scene and hand it over to the youngster.”
A senior CEO who sat beside Chui Ming sighed pointedly.
His hidden message was a new and unknownpany could have your supposedly established software beat.
King Kong Inte Security had been dominating the sales chart for so long, so every single one of Chui Ming’spetitors would love to sneak in a snidement whenever the chance presented itself.
Chui Ming himself had noticed this ‘X PC Manager’.
For some reasons, he had a feeling it had something to do with Xiao Mo.
Chui Ming scanned the crowd and his gaze eventually fell on Xiao Mo who was in the middle of thepetition. His gaze turned sharp and frigid.
“CEO Wang, while it is true that our juniors are quite talented, it doesn’t mean that our established position can be so easily toppled. You might fear them but we, at Chui Corps, don’t mind them one bit,” Chui Ming offered as a retort.
CEO Wong took the verbal hit like a champ and said, “Docs this mean CEO Chui has absolute certainty that his product is unbeatable?”
Chui Ming’s overbearing pride was a known fact within themunity, plus he was truly confident with his own product.
Chui Ming knew CEO Wong was being facetious but he still answered arrogantly, “Of course!”
“Then, I would like to first congratte CEO Chui. After CEO Chui wins the first prize, remember to treat the rest of us to a meal,” CEO Wong said candidly.
“What meal?” The few other CEO who overheard their conversation asked curiously.
CEO Wong turned to exin. Of course, he didn’t forget to sneak in a fewpliments about King Kong Inte Security.
The other CEOs were internally envious of Chui Ming but they too chimed in with the praises. It was as if Chui Corps had already won thepetition.
Chui Ming took thepliments to heart.
After all, he wouldn’t settle for anything less than first ce!
But… the software called ‘X PC Manager’ did nt a single seed of unease in his heart..
