Xie Yuansheng sat beside her to have his meal. He smiled and peeled prawns for her. He would neatly peel them and keep them in her bowl. She just gobbled them up.
"Xinying, the way you are eating, I feel you are pregnant. Are you pregnant?" asked Xie Yuansheng with a broad smile, feeling happy that perhaps she was pregnant. He started dreaming of little Feng Xinyings jumping around him, some pulling his hair while some hugging his legs as he walked around the house.
Feng Xinying rolled her eyes for the second time during the day. "Xie Yuansheng, you have started thinking too wildly today. I am just too hungry." Xie Yuansheng"s dream bubble burst and his face fell.
Feng Xinying finished her last prawn and wiped her face with a napkin.
"Have you called Xie Shengjun to find out about the hacker?" she asked as she folded the napkin and kept it on the table.
Xie Yuansheng replied with a dejected mood, "Yes… I have already asked. There are too many hackers who can do a simple job like this. So it might take some time before we zero in on the person who has done it."
Feng Xinying looked in the s.p.a.ce as if pondering on what he spoke. Then she said, "But I have a doubt. To attack a big company like Feng Conglomerate, the person who has done it would not be a rookie. He or she must be a professional and intelligent enough to even think of attacking the company"s server."
Xie Yuansheng looked at his wife with a startle and in admiration. Surely the person had to be a professional to even think of hacking the servers of the Feng Conglomerate. He picked his phone and called Xie Shengjun. "Check only the professionals of the country who have a reputation of hacking large companies or who are big names in the world of hacking. Leave the rookies."
"Why brother? It is possible that a new hacker is in town. You cannot just rule out that possibility," replied Xie Shengjun.
"Brother, talk to Xinying," said Xie Yuansheng and gave the phone to Feng Xinying. When she heard him she said, "The person who is behind this cannot just be a plain hacker. There is someone else who is above him, overseeing all this. Why would a hacker simply delete one file and leave the rest of them? It just doesn"t add up. What would he or she gain from deleting one file? Obviously we are looking for someone who has enmity with me or with the company. Now I don"t think that an enemy of the company would do something as small as this. So the person has enmity with me. Moreover, a professional hacker would rather go a step forward and lock our website and servers down and hold ransom for it if he or she has to show their talent to us."
All of a sudden Feng Xinying looked at Xie Yuansheng and said, "Call the IT guys and ask them if they have received any ransom calls."
Xie Yuansheng called them immediately but there was no such call.
Feng Xinying was now extremely sure that there was someone else behind the entire operation. "Xie Shengjun, since we haven"t received any ransom calls, it is surely an act of malice. Please go around looking for a professional in this case as the person behind all this mess would hire someone experienced, who won"t leave an online footprint."
"Okay Feng Xinying," replied Xie Shengjun understanding her logic.
"Somehow I feel that the person behind it is someone with a lot of money because professional hackers don"t come cheap. At least this is what the IT guys have told me…" added Feng Xinying. "However, right now we have to find the guy who deleted the file. We will go after the main person once we have him or her in our hands."
"Sure Feng Xinying," said Xie Yuansheng and disconnected the call. He called his IT unit to only focus on a few of the reputed hackers.
Feng Xinying gave the phone back to Xie Yuansheng and started going out of the office. "Where are you going? At least let me finish my food. You have no manners Feng Xinying," cried Xie Yuansheng wanting her to stay back long.
Feng Xinying looked at him with narrowed eyes and then crossed her arms across her chest. "Mr. CEO, you should be more productive. I am seeing that you are slacking in your work because of a woman."
"You see I have just one bird in my hand, whom I have to take care of. After all one bird is worth two in the bush."
"What do you mean "Two in a bush"? Are there two more hidden somewhere?" she asked curling her little hands in fists ready to hit him.
"There aren"t any for now!" he answered with a chuckle. "I am just saying an idiom."
Feng Xinying gritted her teeth. "Stop wasting my time Xie Yuansheng," she said and stomped outside the room.
Xie Yuansheng laughed at his lady love and then called his main shooter. "Be ready. I will send my instructions soon."
