In this chapter, we learn that the protagonist's plan is to hack into the office of the president, who is also the manager of the company. The president wants to know if the protagonist can use his plan to gain access to the company's secrets. The protagonist tells the president that he can use the plan to spy on the manager, and that he has a bug in his office that will allow the protagonist to get to the manager immediately if necessary. He also tells the manager that the plan is based on the president's opinion, which means that he doesn't need to change the plan at all. After the president leaves, the protagonist tries to plug in a usb to his office's network, but the manager is already aware of the plan. He asks the protagonist if he's still trying to argue about the contents of the usb, and the protagonist tells him that he'll have to listen up.
