I Became a Genius Engineer

An angry Lee Cheol-woo (6)

Chicken fat began to grow all over Jeong Ho-nam’s body.

‘A Korean IP was discovered?’

You know best that you are not guilty. Then, it can be assumed that the culprit is a Korean.

One person who comes to mind with that estimate.

‘Lee Cheol-woo?’

He reminded me of Lee Cheol-woo.

One of the ways to infer the culprit is to think of the person who benefited the most from the incident.

And no matter how much I think about it, Lee Cheol-woo was the only person who benefited the most from the C* Algorithm Disclosure Case.

He even believed in himself for no reason.

There is only one reason, because I know the real culprit.

‘Did you try to destroy Ditisa and sell your algorithm at the highest price?’

In reality, Lee Chul-woo had no intention of doing so, but Jeong Ho-nam had no choice but to think so.

If C*’s algorithm is leaked, there will be confusion in China’s navigation market. In the meantime, algorithms that are better than C* algorithms have unrivaled value.

In fact, the C** algorithm created by Cheol-Woo Lee was so great that Chen Chen, a competitor of DT, took a 28% stake.

‘Did you plan all this to sell C**?’

Jeong Ho-nam started to get goosebumps.

‘He hacked DITSA first.’

If that’s true, Lee Cheol-woo must be crazy.

He does it for his own benefit. In other words, we hacked DTSA to get the C* algorithm.

‘How dare you have so much guts? Didn’t you ever think that it would take?’

how much? Can you do that if you are confident? If you get caught, you’ll be embroiled in a huge international lawsuit.

‘But in the end no physical evidence came out.’

I thought I had skills as much as I had guts. In the end, physical evidence has not yet come out, and it is unlikely that it will come out in the future.

‘As a result, Ditisa was smashed.’

As a result, DT had difficulty investing in Series A, which was a huge opportunity for competitors.

It was a game-changing event in the Chinese navigation market.

‘Take advantage of that opportunity, use me to destroy Ditisa and become the largest shareholder of Chenchen.’

And Chen Chen will become the number one player in the Chinese navigation market with the C** algorithm, and then 28% of Chen Chen’s share will be beyond imagination.

maybe… … . If I had sold the C** algorithm to DT, it would have been only 10%.

I got goosebumps when I guessed this much.

‘Who the hell is Lee Cheol-woo?’

For his own benefit, he destroyed Ditisa and used himself to easily become the majority shareholder of Chenchen.

And it was all planned and realized.

Jeong Ho-nam had goosebumps all over his body.

‘… … . Is he the devil?’

If his guess is correct, Lee Cheol-woo was the devil himself.

It’s also an incredibly vicious demon.

‘never… … . Even if I die, I won’t make them enemies.’

Even if he was taken advantage of, as a result he is now the executive director of Chen Chen.

He thought that if he rebelled against that vicious ability, he would immediately run away.

‘Rather, let’s become Lee Cheol-woo’s dog.’

He thought rationally.

That it would be much more profitable to become a dog than to rebel against the demonic talent of Lee Cheol-woo.

‘And even if Ditisa perishes, it’s cheap.’

Even if he was the victim of Cheol-woo’s plan, the actual place that caused the damage in the end was Ditisa.

Jeong Ho-nam still had no choice but to hate Ditisa.

‘Lee Cheol-woo… … . What kind of person is he? Was it a person?’

He was even awed by Lee Cheol-woo.

International Criminal Police Organization. Interpol

Team leader Cho Hyuk had been dispatched to Interpol for a long time after completing the dispatch of the Cyber Command.

“Sangcheol-ah.”

“Yes. Chief.”

And Sang-cheol, who was Lee Cheol-woo’s successor, accepted Jo Hyuk’s scout offer and worked together.

“Did you see this incident?”

“What incident are you talking about?”

“We received an investigation request from China’s DTS. They stole their technology from Korea.”

“Really? Do we have to investigate that? How many technologies did the Chinese steal?”

“Well, I’m just pretending to investigate formally. How do you catch it?”

Interpol’s Cyber Investigation Unit did not move much unless it was a special case.

It was a big incident from Ditisa’s point of view, but from a global perspective, it was nothing more than a normal incident.

In addition, in fact, it was difficult to find the culprit in the case of technology leakage due to hacking.

“So what technology was leaked?”

“Is it a C* algorithm? It’s a wayfinding algorithm. It must be a key technology for creating navigation.”

“Oh, I’ve heard of that. Isn’t that the algorithm published on the TopCoder site?”

“Really? I haven’t heard that far.”

“Ah… that’s right it was leaked from Ditisa.”

“I know?”

“Oh, someone on Topcoder claimed for a while that it was leaked from DT.”

“Yeah, I guess that’s right. Seeing that we’ve been asked to investigate.”

“Then, does that mean that we received an investigation request, that it was recorded as a Korean IP?”

“Right. Look at this.”

Team leader Cho Hyuk gave Sang-cheol a document.

“It’s an IP record.”

“Uh, these are records of IP access to the internal network of DT.”

“Internal network?”

“Uh. The hacking method is a mask attack on NAC.”

“……? A NAC attack?”

“Isn’t there something that comes to mind?”

“hahahaha, it reminds me of when I was in the army. Lee Cheol-woo, how did that guy find a vulnerability?”

“Hey, how long has it been since you were discharged from the army?”

“It’s been over half a year now.”

“Anyway, what I want to say is that it hasn’t been a year since Lee Cheol-woo discovered the NAC vulnerability. It’s a lesser-known hacking technique.”

“It is. But all hackers who know more or less know it.”

“Look at this this time.”

Team leader Cho Hyuk handed over another document.

“This……?”

“Yeah, I’ve patterned IP records. Don’t you think I’ve seen this before?”

“……Yes, there is.”

“It’s similar to the IP pattern when the NAC of the Ministry of National Defense was breached, that is, when Lee Cheol-woo wanted to access the Internet and hacked the NAC. No, it’s almost similar.”

“Could it be Cheol-woo?”

“I do have a psychiatric evidence. But as you know, there is no physical evidence.”

“……. What the hell is Lee Cheol-woo doing? Why did he hack D.T.A.?”

“I don’t know. He might not actually be the culprit.”

“Are you going to investigate this?”

Sang-cheol said to team leader Cho Hyuk with a worried expression.

“No.

“Okay. I think the same way.”

“Oh~ Is this where the Beijing International Technology Fair is being held?”

After finishing my personal work, I visited the Beijing International Technology Fair where my club members were.

“Cheolwoo! A little late?”

Minseok saw me and welcomed me.

“hahahaha, I’m sorry. I ended up late.”

“No, actually, I thought I wouldn’t be able to attend the fair. This ended sooner than I thought. How did it work?”

“I think it worked out well. Now it will depend on how Jeong Ho-nam does.”

“Yes. I suffered.”

“No. I’m responsible for what I did.”

“Oh, you’ve gotten a little more reliable lately?”

“Uh… I think I’ve learned a little something.”

I learned a lot from this incident.

“What did you learn?”

“Acts come with responsibility. If I hadn’t done that, Jeong Ho-nam wouldn’t have been like that, and I wouldn’t have had to suffer.”

“hahahahaha, I think I had a good experience. And thanks to you, I heard you ate 28% of Chenchen’s shares?”

“right.”

“Why? Aren’t you happy?”

“I don’t know. It’s complicated.”

Something wasn’t happy.

28% stake in Chenchensa. Even if you convert it to Korean money right now, it was over 28 billion won.

And if you use my algorithm to become the number one player in navigation in China, at least 10 times. 280 billion will pass.

“Why? What’s so complicated?”

“If I hadn’t caused that incident after all, I wouldn’t have gotten that share. I wouldn’t have even made a C** algorithm. It feels like I’ve stolen, how to say.”

Hearing that, Minseok thought for a moment.

“No, Cheolwoo, listen carefully.”

“huh.”

“As you will feel now, you are a tremendous genius. It was only Cheolwu’s ability that made C** possible. You deserved it. You.”

“okay?”

“Yes. Someone could have invented a C** algorithm. Even if you had been introduced to pathfinding algorithms in other cases than this one, you could have created a C** algorithm. But isn’t that your skill? “

“No, it’s mine.”

“Yes. Cheol-woo. You are still a student, but you will be the CEO of a company in the future. As the CEO of the company, you must take care of your profits from now on.”

After hearing that, I thought about it for a while.

Why was I reluctant to take profits?

‘… … . It seems like I made money too easily.’

C** algorithm. It took less than an hour to make it.

What is it like to earn 28 billion won with less than an hour of labor… … . I thought it was like stealing.

There was no reality.

“Can I?”

“Of course you can. That’s your ability and legitimate right.”

I definitely felt it after hearing Minseok’s words.

This is my only ability. no one else can do it but me And that’s just getting a fair price.

“Yes. From now on, I will confidently assert my rights.”

“Yes. It’s finally our Cheolwoo escape from the hukou.”

“hahahahaha! I wasn’t originally a Hogu.”

“Ha ha ha, whatever you like. My friends are waiting inside. Let’s go in quickly.”

“okay.”

Minseok and I entered the hall where the technology fair was in full swing.

“Cheolwoo! Here!”

Wandering around the hall, I met Changsoo first.

“Huh? Hyejeong? Weren’t we together?

“He said he’d come to look over there.”

“Really? Isn’t it dangerous alone…”

“They say they’ll be back soon.”

But who is this person next to Changsoo from earlier? why are you looking at me

“Changsu, but who is the person next to you?”

“Well, let me introduce you. This is my father’s benefactor.”

“Benefactor?”

“Uh, you said you’ve been having some problems at home lately. He’s the person who helped me then. I’ll introduce you. He’s Seo Jeong-ho, the head of the design team at Hyunsung Motors.”

“The Hyunsung Motor I know?”

“Oh. He’s such a great person.”

Hyunsung Motors is the No. 1 conglomerate in domestic automobiles.

If he is the head of the design team of that company, he will definitely be a great person as Changsoo said, and he will have the ability.

“Hello. My name is Chulwoo Lee.”

He politely bowed his head and said hello.

“…”

Even when I said hello, the old man didn’t say anything.

“hello?”

“Ah, hello. I’m Seo Jeong-ho. I’m sorry. I wondered if we were the same person for a while.”

“same person?”

“Yes. Have you ever been in the news as an automated greenhouse before?”

“Oh, yes. I was on LBC News for a while.”

“Are you the one who made the free vector gear?”

Do you know the free vector gear?

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Ah… I really wanted to meet you. Free Vector Gear, you were so innovative. Mr. Cheol-woo… was Chang-soo’s friend. You were so close.”
