Two days later.
Inside Luoqi's office at Ascension Technology.
Luoqi was browsing through résumés.
Only two days had passed since Lisandra posted the recruitment information, and a large number of résumés had already been submitted.
Originally, Luoqi thought it would take a long time for a brand new company with no history to recruit suitable talent.
But he had underestimated Arasaka's reputation.
As a global corporate giant, countless people tried desperately to join Arasaka every day.
Even though Ascension Technology was just associated with Arasaka as a partner company, it was enough to make countless people eager to join and take a gamble.
After having Lisandra filter out those who were purely trying their luck and lacked qualifications or ability, Luoqi began reviewing the remaining résumés.
"Wow, so many talented people."
Luoqi browsed through them one by one and found that many of these people were quite outstanding, either graduating from well-known academies or having worked in major companies.
Although they weren't top-tier talents, they were more than capable of holding senior positions in most small and medium-sized enterprises.
Clearly, this was highly unusual for a new company; even with the Arasaka connection, it shouldn't attract so many talented individuals rushing to join.
It seemed Ascension Technology had inevitably been targeted by major corporations.
However, Luoqi had anticipated this situation long ago; otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to install Lisandra first.
As long as the company was under her supervision, he didn't need to fear their undercover operations.
And spies are spies, but these companies, in order to quickly infiltrate Ascension Technology, were sending genuinely talented people.
Although this seemed overly obvious, with so many companies coveting Ascension Technology, if the people you sent weren't strong enough and couldn't compete with others, they might not even get through the company door, and the operation would fail before it even began.
So now they could only compete on who could be more patient and lie dormant longer; at the very least, they believed Luoqi wouldn't dare to reject these talented individuals.
Luoqi indeed couldn't give up on these talents.
"Lisandra, arrange interviews for all these people."
...
"Yamamoto Daisho, I've read your résumé. You are a top student who graduated from the State International Academy. Why did you choose to come to our company?"
In the office, Luoqi looked at the Asian face before him and asked.
Facing Luoqi's question, Yamamoto appeared calm, showing a sunny smile as he replied.
"I believe your company has huge potential and good development prospects, and I also happen to need a job, so I came to try it out at your esteemed company."
Luoqi listened to his answer and couldn't find any issues; asking too much was pointless, as long as his abilities were confirmed to be genuine.
Picking up an electronic tablet and handing it to Yamamoto, Luoqi said, "I am very satisfied with you. This is the employment contract. If there are no issues, sign it, and report for duty tomorrow."
Without much hesitation, Yamamoto entered his information into the contract, pressed his fingerprint for authentication, and thus signed the contract.
After signing the contract, Yamamoto was now an employee of his company. Of course, if it was later found that his abilities were insufficient, Luoqi retained the right to terminate him.
"Now connect your link here."
Luoqi pointed to a connection port on the desk and said to Yamamoto.
"Yes."
Following Luoqi's instructions, Yamamoto connected the link port on his hand to the terminal designated by Luoqi.
Soon, the system produced by Lisandra was successfully installed.
As Yamamoto looked at this complete and comprehensive system, a hint of surprise flashed in his heart.
He hadn't expected Ascension Technology, which had just started, to be able to produce a company system of this level. It seemed they were well-prepared.
"Company management, attendance, and notifications are all done within this system. Remember to stay connected at all times.
Alright, you can go now. Remember to be on time for work. The marketing department has a lot of tasks that need to be handled."
Waving his hand, Luoqi indicated that Yamamoto could leave; he had other interviews to conduct.
After seeing Yamamoto off, Lisandra's voice also sounded in Luoqi's ear.
"Employee Yamamoto's information investigation is complete."
Hearing Lisandra's reminder, Luoqi pulled up Yamamoto's file, and sure enough, this guy wasn't so simple.
According to the information Lisandra uncovered through a discreet deep dive into Yamamoto's network, the school Yamamoto graduated from was not a state university at all, but Arasaka Academy.
Furthermore, Lisandra also investigated the connection between Yamamoto and Arasaka; this guy was clearly a spy sent by Arasaka.
Although Luoqi had a cooperative relationship with Arasaka on the surface, it didn't mean they wouldn't send spies.
After all, to obtain the most authentic and reliable intelligence, one had to dig it up themselves.
Arasaka had already seen from their cooperation with Luoqi that if he had anything valuable or any intelligence, he would absolutely not reveal it to Arasaka, so Arasaka needed to use its own power to find valuable information.
Luoqi was just a little curious about who sent this guy. Logically, V was in charge of corporate espionage, so maybe he was the one who arranged it.
However, Luoqi could also understand, after all, V had people watching him, and it was impossible for him to help Luoqi in such a matter.
For an important enterprise like Ascension Technology, Arasaka would not give up on its espionage operations. If V didn't send a spy, perhaps the head of the espionage intelligence team would be replaced.
"Regarding employee Yamamoto, is action required?" Lisandra proactively asked.
As an AI with independent consciousness, she also had her own personality and thoughts.
Now, under the influence of absolute loyalty, Lisandra considered strengthening Ascension Technology a crucial goal, which was why she took the initiative to ask Luoqi for his next instructions.
And Luoqi shook his head.
"There's no need to alert him, or any of the other employees. As for their attempts to steal company intelligence, just disguise information that has no real value and throw it to them."
"At the same time, you must hide yourself well, disguise the company server as an ordinary server, isolate critical information, and let them take whatever is left."
Although Luoqi could have Lisandra make the server defenses airtight, doing so would be more likely to attract the attention of other companies.
Appropriate disguise, leaving unimportant information for them to investigate at will, could create a misdirection and alleviate their concerns.
"Understood," Lisandra replied.
Soon, under Lisandra's operation, a virtual network ICE was set up by her.
As long as someone wanted to invade Ascension Technology's server, they would first have to deal with this ICE, and this ICE was at the level of a normal small enterprise, not difficult to breach.
And after breaching the ICE, they would enter the virtual data fortress prepared by Lisandra, which contained some unimportant information, or information Luoqi wanted them to know.
As for internal employee access, Lisandra would determine in real-time what kind of information should be returned based on their permissions and identified status.
