What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Tao Zhongcheng nodded when he heard this, without much expression on his face, or rather he didn't think anything would happen to him.

In commercial companies, similar situations are not very common, but they aren't exactly rare either.

The reality of business warfare is like this: aside from outrageous acts like watering money trees or stealing company stamps, most cases still mainly rely on bribery and pulling people over to your side.

What's the highest level of hacker technology? It's social engineering!

Countless examples prove that humans are the weakest link in any system. No system is unbreachable; just hire someone to plug in a USB, and everything's settled.

However, it's generally difficult to investigate such situations. If a company makes a big fuss about it, it will make all the other employees uneasy.

Thus, Tao Zhongcheng went straight into the conference room.

As soon as he saw Tao Zhongcheng go inside, Huang Zhongyi immediately said, "Go, go, go, everyone to the surveillance room!"

Cui Yuping was stunned for a moment and said, "President Huang, why are we going to the surveillance room?"

Huang Zhongyi glanced around and said, "Of course, to see how Director Tang performs. There are cameras in that conference room."

Ah? Cui Yuping couldn't hold back and said, "So when it's my turn later, you all can watch my answers in the surveillance room too?"

"Why are you worried about this, it's not you going in now, hurry up, call the company's middle management too, let's all go!" Huang Zhongyi said irritably.

What's up with these high-tech people and their brains.

Cui Yuping wanted to ask something else, but seeing the people around him, he shut his mouth.

He only whispered to Cai Jinxu beside him, complaining, "President Huang is doing this, but he himself isn't letting us watch..."

A group of people grandly arrived at the surveillance room, scaring the person in charge of monitoring, who thought something had happened.

Huang Zhongyi directly went forward and said, "Bring up the surveillance of the conference room on the fifth floor, zoom it in here, and turn the volume up."

Soon, the staff had it ready, and although the other company employees didn't quite understand, they stayed there and started watching.

Meanwhile, at this moment, Tao Zhongcheng had already entered the conference room and sat down.

Old Tang smiled and said to Tao Zhongcheng in front of him, "President Tao, don't worry, we're just having a casual chat."

Tao Zhongcheng didn't look too happy, but still said, "Lawyer Tang, ask whatever you need to, I will say whatever I know."

Old Tang smiled again and said, "President Tao, no need to rush, look at the wall, you know there are cameras in this conference room, right?"

Tao Zhongcheng turned his head and looked, saying, "Lawyer Tang, I know that, our company's conference rooms generally have cameras."

"Since you know that, that's good, President Tao, I won't ask you questions, first let me provide you with some legal education."

Old Tang tapped the table and said, "Do you know there is an offense in criminal law called the crime of infringing on trade secrets?"

"The provision of this crime is: theft, bribery, coercion, disclosure, unauthorized use, and other improper means that infringe on trade secrets, causing significant losses to the rights holder of the trade secret."

During his speech, Old Tang's index finger kept tapping the table, while his gaze was locked fiercely on Tao Zhongcheng in front of him.

Tao Zhongcheng's expression didn't change much, he was just there saying, "Lawyer Tang, what do you mean by this, are you implying that you suspect me of leaking?"

Old Tang smiled and said, "President Tao, I told you not to rush, look, the significant loss of this crime has several aspects, such as causing a loss of more than 500,000 to the rights holder, or illegal profits of more than 500,000, or causing the rights holder's bankruptcy..."

"Wait, as long as any one of these conditions is met, it can be prosecuted."

"The maximum sentence can be ten years, and a fine is also imposed."

"Besides this, there's another offense called non-government official bribery, which can be prosecuted if the bribery amount is more than 5,000, also with a maximum of ten years."

"The specific application of these two crimes is like this..."

From start to finish, Old Tang was calmly and steadily conducting legal education, speaking very slowly and in great detail.

Tao Zhongcheng's expression became increasingly grim, while in the surveillance room, Huang Zhongyi and the others were completely confused.

Lawyer Tang's conversation, it was indeed a conversation, can you really get results from talking like this?

However, Cui Yuping finally reacted, whispering, "So Lawyer Tang suspects Old Tao of leaking?"

Next to him, Huang Zhongyi looked helplessly, thinking, brother, you finally realized this, what were you doing for so long just now.

Over there, Old Tang seemed to be getting more excited with his explanation, speaking with great interest.

"The fine is a very interesting thing, the crime of infringing on trade secrets generally adopts an unlimited fine system, President Tao, you know, which means there's no upper limit."

"It will generally be penalized according to the benefits you've obtained. For instance, if you originally received five million, according to regulations, the penalty is generally more than five million, based on the seized assets."

"Of course, if you initially received five million, and later received another two million due to guidance, then it would definitely be seven million as the basis..."

When it came to these amounts, Tao Zhongcheng's face completely changed.

Or rather, now he felt extremely panicked inside, how did Tang Fangjing know about his situation back then!

Was it a coincidence? No way, the first five million might be a coincidence, but what about the latter two million?

But why would the other party know?

After all, Tao Zhongcheng was just a technical inventor by birth, he didn't have strong counter-reconnaissance abilities himself, so he was a bit flustered all of a sudden.
