Super God-Level Top Student

Four years ago, Satya Nadella not only was re-elected as CEO but also took up the position of chairman. It's clear how strong this big shot of Indian descent is.

Any video that warrants special validation from this big shot must be really interesting.

Soon, the computer screen displayed the same webpage. As Walker Adams clicked on the first video, he felt quite relaxed initially. But halfway through the video, his expression gradually became serious, and at the end, seeing nothing but the hull number left him stunned.

All the way to the second, third...

Walker Adams instinctively began to swallow hard.

Although his department was merely the logistics department in the building, he had genuinely served in the military. With experience in maritime operations, he naturally understood what these videos represented if they were real.

Undoubtedly embedded deeply, filming boldly at this level could only be personal promotion, unless it's a promotional video shot by one's own team?

Being a mid-level cadre in the building, while his authority didn't allow him to track the real-time positions of these ships, he did have permission to check the general region.

After watching the videos, Walker Adams quickly checked the hull numbers, filming time, and coordinates that appeared in the videos. He roughly matched them.

By now, he roughly understood what the other party meant. Luckily, it was Microsoft.

So he quickly dialed the other party.

"Mr. Goodhue, this matter is very important, I hope to know where Microsoft obtained these videos from."

"Do you mean these videos are authentic?"

"No, I'm not confident enough to confirm that, since this isn't something I'm typically exposed to, but I think it's necessary to know the source of these videos."

"Really? Well, according to Mr. Nadella, the website was directly sent to him by a Huaxia friend, and that Huaxia friend actively suggested that he show it to friends in Arlington."

"Huaxia friend?"

"Yes, Mr. Nadella mentioned it. I don't know the situation more specifically."

"Phew, alright, thank you very much, Mr. Goodhue."

"You're welcome, by the way, if there's further news..."

"I understand."

After hanging up, Walker Adams felt his heartbeat noticeably speeding up, and his previous good mood suddenly vanished.

If this stuff is real, it surely isn't pretty.

He sat in his place pondering for a moment, then Walker Adams opened the internal email and began editing the content. He downloaded all of the videos along with the website and sent them out.

After completing all of that, he made a call.

This is about all he could do.

As for informing the other party if there's some news, that's a joke.

Walker Adams was very clear that once this was reported, it had nothing to do with him.

He might be called in for questioning, but whether the video content is genuine and how it was filmed, generally wouldn't concern him anymore. However, he could roughly interpret from the subsequent reactions.

Working in this building, his information was somewhat more well-informed than those outside.

If these videos are genuine, he found it necessary to inform his family members.

Any information, even if it's bad, can be leveraged.

At least it could help his family avoid some uncontrollable risks and even make targeted investments or adjustments to various plans.

For example, Walker Adams originally felt that the wealth he had accumulated was pretty decent. But now he felt it might not be enough; given the future uncertainties, he needed more wealth to handle them.

Moreover, the investments should be more cautious and diverse so as not to put all the bread and eggs in one basket. This way, more flexible contingency measures could be available in the future.

One must not insist on sinking with the ship, right? Isn't that what fools do? He isn't at the helm!

...

The development of events went somewhat differently from what Walker Adams had anticipated, but not excessively.

For instance, by the afternoon, he was invited to 1900 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington to answer a few questions.

The transportation back then was still a helicopter.

Viewing this point: spending a bit more is actually quite normal, as everyone knows that flying is naturally more expensive than taking a taxi, not only does it consume more fuel, but the training fees for the pilot are also vastly more costly.

After completing the report, the matter no longer concerned him, and he was again sent back to Arlington by helicopter.

It's just that his home doesn't have a helipad; otherwise, being dropped off home would be nice. After all, by the time he returned, he had already finished work.

Although throughout the entire process, the interrogators did not disclose any information to him, and he did not ask, these operations already indicated many issues.

Judging by the level and detail of the interrogators, those videos weren't joking around. They likely weren't self-made promotional videos filmed by his own people. The coordinates and locations marked in the video mostly matched up. Plus, no one knows anything yet.

In other words, having an exclusive photographer in his family is something that nobody knows about yet.

Next, someone might need to take responsibility or perhaps not.

From Satya Nadella's perspective, Philip Goodhue's efficiency was very high because he received an invitation that evening to go to Washington.

This unexpected invitation also gave Satya Nadella some insights.
