Nobody Messes with the Code Master

---- Chapter 6 On the second day after the system collapse, the company's stock price plunged by twenty percent, wiping out nearly fifty million in market value. I sat leisurely at home, sipping freshly brewed tea while watching the flashing red numbers on the financial news. My phone vibrated. Oliver sent an urgent message: [Rex, the company has called an emergency crisis meeting. All the executives are there. Things are crazy!] Ten minutes later, a video call request popped up from Oliver. When I answered, he discreetly aimed his phone toward the conference room.

"You useless piece of trash!" Peter's furious roar came through clearly. "Annual Technology Innovation Award winner? You can't even fix a system failure!" In the frame, Jason hung his head, wilted in the corner like a frostbitten eggplant. "Uncle... I..." "Don't call me that!" Peter thundered. "The whole company is waiting to laugh at us!" The CEO's face was dark, his gaze sharp as a blade. "Jason, you're the project leader. Give me an explanation." Jason suddenly lifted his head, a trace of cunning flashing in his ---- eyes. "T suspect Rex did this!

Before he was fired, he must have planted a backdoor in the system on purpose!" The conference room erupted in an uproar. "Do you have any evidence?" the CEO asked, frowning. Jason jumped to his feet in agitation. "He behaved strangely on the day he left, and the timing of the crash is far too coincidental! He was taking revenge on the company! I suggest we call the police immediately!" I let out a cold laugh and closed the video. Soon after, Oliver sent another message: [The CEO didn't accept Jason's suggestion.

Instead, he formed a team of technical experts to investigate the cause of the failure. When Jason heard the decision, his face went white instantly.) I smiled faintly and continued browsing job listings in my hand. By evening, Oliver sent another video. The head of the expert team was reporting their findings to the executives. "After a thorough inspection, we have determined that the system collapse was caused by severe architectural flaws within the system itself. Under high concurrency, failure was inevitable.

It was not the result of deliberate sabotage." Jason's face turned deathly pale. ---- "That's impossible! It must have been Rex-"" The team leader cut him off. "More importantly, we discovered that Jason had been falsifying system testing reports for a long time, concealing these fatal risks. He held up a stack of documents. "These are the false reports Jason submitted over the past six months. He never conducted any stress testing at all." The room fell into dead silence. Peter's face shifted from red to blue, then from blue to white. "Jason!

You destroyed our company!" The CEO looked at Jason coldly. "The expert team's final conclusion?" 'The team leader answered without hesitation. "If the project's true developer, Rex, had still been here, these issues could have been avoided. Jason lacks even basic technical judgment of risk. That is the fundamental cause of this disaster." On the screen, Jason slumped into his chair like a deflated balloon. Peter turned away, unable to bear the sight of his nephew.

As night fell, I received a text message from the CEO: [Rex, may I have a word with you?) ---- Ismiled slightly and replied: [I'm all ears.]
