Firstly, Tu Long and Lan Xing have been in contact with people from Jin Huan Film Industry recently, so the person in charge of Lan Xing came to Tu Long to explain the situation. He also brought his own laptop, which was then connected to Tu Long's WIFI.
Then, according to work regulations, Benjamin needed to inspect this electronic device.
But not only did he run the detection program, he was also quite curious about the purpose of the person in charge of Blue Star, so he used his privileges to secretly take a look at the document being detected.
He obviously couldn't open encrypted files, but that didn't stop him from seeing the title of one of the files—
[Several key details regarding the collaboration between the new project "Assassin" and player Odin].
Wow, that's exciting!
Benjamin was just a young man in his twenties. He had a nephew named Harry who was in high school and also loved playing games. The two of them often played online together.
That evening, while they were playing together, his nephew, as usual, tried to get information out of him, saying, "There haven't been any new games for Dragon Slayer in ages, and even my forum's popularity has dropped! Uncle, are you guys about to lose your jobs?"
Children speak without thinking, but Benjamin was quite angry when he heard it.
Benjamin said, "What do you mean there aren't any projects? It's just that the projects are still in the confidential stage. We might be collaborating with Earth again. Do you know how awesome the new project is? We're in talks with the Great Demon King Odin!"
"Wow!" My nephew's eyes lit up. "Uncle, you're so amazing!"
Under his adoring gaze, Benjamin smugly tossed his hair.
...At the time, he didn't realize how serious the problem was.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Benjamin's nephew is just like him; he loves to show off...
He showed off and got into trouble.
Blue Star has always maintained excellent secrecy; even when players come to visit, they can hardly see the staff's screens.
Information about the new project "Assassin" has been kept secret for several months and has been in the stage of secret development.
To everyone's surprise, despite all the precautions, it was hard to guard against a traitor within the family; in the end, the secret was leaked by someone who wasn't even an insider.
...
At the end of December, Mingyan finally made it back from Central Star Province.
By this time, Blue Star Studio had recovered, and everyone continued working in an orderly manner without panicking due to the exposure of the information.
Although reporters have started to stake out the area outside the Blue Star Building on a regular basis.
These reporters weren't even comfortable with AI-powered aerial photography; they insisted on having human staff stake out the area, afraid of missing any opportunity to catch a glimpse of people.
Whether it's meeting Chief Strategist Ming from Blue Star or the Great Demon King Odin, it's a deal that's guaranteed to make you rich!
With such a huge amount of traffic and attention, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this news is worth tens of thousands!
After returning to the studio, Mingyan calmly placed the two trophies he had received onto the display shelf.
Many companies choose to set aside a dedicated hall of honor to display trophies and other awards, and to protect them well.
But Blue Star is different. Mingyan believes that the Hall of Fame belongs to all members of the studio, so why should it be so troublesome for everyone to see their own trophies?
Therefore, he likes to place the trophies directly on the display shelf.
The display rack is placed right in the middle of the workstation, so every employee can come over and take a look when they're bored, or just breathe on it to wipe it clean.
When Mingyan returned, the employees surrounded him, laughing all around.
"The boss is back, and he's got a new trophy!"
"Boss, what's for dinner tonight?"
Ming said, "Um, let's all have hot pot together tonight. Approved for eating all night. Just fill in what you want in the logistics system and let the AI do the statistics."
"Yay! Long live the boss!"
"I want to touch your trophy!"
"Is Horace back? There's a bug here that needs his attention."
Horace immediately cursed, "Go to hell! How come when the boss comes back it's all good food, but when I come back it's all a bug? This is just too real!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Amidst the commotion, Mingyan put down his things, called his secretary, and personally went to the Dragon Slayer Sword Studio.
The atmosphere on Tu Long's side was much more somber. Everyone knew they had messed up and offended the God of Wealth behind the scenes, so they sat motionless at their workstations, trembling with fear.
Inside the meeting room, Benjamin, the employee who caused the incident, was already seated in a row, along with the two responsible persons involved in the incident, the head of human resources, and the laptop that caused the trouble, which was placed in the middle...
Mingyan had a general understanding of what had happened.
Benjamin was a security test engineer who had worked at the Dragon Slayer Studio for two years. He was supposed to be responsible for security issues including information leaks, but he instead embezzled.
Sitting in his office, he was sweating profusely, especially after seeing Mingyan in person.
—Even Chief Engineer Ming from Blue Star is here! This is definitely a three-way trial!
Mingyan's presence seemed to have more intimidating power than the police.
He said, "You leaked important trade secrets of Blue Star Studio, spied on our employees' computer files without permission, and also committed dereliction of duty at Dragon Slayer Studio. Now that the evidence is conclusive, we intend to report the case to the police. Do you have anything else to say?"
Benjamin's tears welled up instantly, and he said, "I'm so sorry, Chief Engineer Ming, I really didn't expect the consequences to be so serious. I only read a dozen or so words..."
Mingyan shook his head and said, "You caused Blue Star Studio millions of yuan in publicity losses. It's useless to talk to me about this. Now you can consult a lawyer about the approximate level of sentencing."
