The hand holding the microphone suddenly lost its strength and loosened...
She swallowed, her heart pounding wildly; she didn’t know what Ren Yixuan was going to do... afraid to guess, afraid to think...
His hatred for her, his reluctance, his pain seed to reappear before her eyes.
Was he going to kick her while she was down? Was he going to completely destroy everything she’s been bitterly guarding? Was... he planning to take revenge on her?
"I am here, on behalf of Xuanran Technology, to sincerely propose a cooperation intention to President Su Xiaong of the Yin Group."
"..."
Her heart suddenly seed to stop, and all surrounding sounds disappeared.
Ren Yixuan’s voice was still pleasing, with a mature boy’s tone, but his words were more reassuring than before.
"The electronic chip developed by Yin Technology is considered excellent by Xuanran. It is an extrely creative product. Xuanran Technology wants to cooperate with Yin Technology on this product."
"..."
As soon as Ren Yixuan said this, the scene was greeted by a burst of astonished voices, with dia reporters and businessn seated below all showing bewildered expressions.
"Still too young!"
"Do Ren Yixuan and Su Xiaong know each other?"
"Acting on impulse, even without the test results, he dares to propose cooperation in front of so many people?"
"Mr. Ren, are you joking when you say this?"
A reporter boldly questioned.
"Do I look like I’m joking?"
Ren Yixuan seriously looked at the questioning reporter.
"But Mr. Ren, the quality inspection results of this electronic chip have not yet been presented by President Su. Many companies that reached cooperation agreents with Yin on this electronic chip product are thinking of pulling out, yet you propose cooperation at such a critical point... Can I ask what motivated you to make such a bold decision?"
Su Xiaong’s heart was in turmoil after Ren Yixuan suddenly proposed cooperation.
What does this an?
What is Ren Yixuan really trying to do?
Reaching a cooperation... is this so kind of trap?
Su Xiaong’s mind fleetingly entertained the idea... perhaps, maybe, he ca to help her.
But such thoughts were illogical.
Ren Yixuan seed to notice Su Xiaong’s skeptical and distrustful gaze cast his way. He sensed it from the corner of his eye but refrained from making eye contact.
He turned and whispered sothing to the Yin Group’s secretary standing nearby.
Secretary Luo was visibly surprised, initially wanting to inquire further about Su Xiaong’s thoughts, but only heard Ren Yixuan urging,
"I won’t harm you, carry out this, and do it quickly."
This was a press conference, and all that was happening on stage would be recorded.
Not all Yin Group staff present there were re puppets; Secretary Luo had grown alongside the enterprise, through trials and tribulations.
Secretary Luo did not further consult Su Xiaong’s opinion but relied on his own instincts to make a judgnt.
He prepared what Ren Yixuan instructed.
"Please wait a mont, Mr. Reporter."
Ren Yixuan kindly responded to the reporter who had just questioned him.
"Alright, Mr. Ren."
"Mr. Ren, I understand you hadn’t cooperated with Yin prior to this, why are you here suddenly and—"
"This reporter, you should introspect about your investigative approach."
"..." Ah?
The reporter questioned by Ren Yixuan appeared bewildered.
"As early as three months ago, Xuanran Technology had already reached a cooperation agreent with Yin Group on a network platform startup project."
"..."
Su Xiaong was taken aback.
"Back then, it was Mr. Yin Shixiu himself who signed the cooperation agreent with Xuanran Technology. What I trust is the product developed by the research team led by Mr. Yin Shixiu."
"..."
Su Xiaong’s fists clenched tighter, not due to panic or nervousness, but urging herself to calm down quickly.
She began to hesitate, uncertain...
And she started reconsidering, about Ren Yixuan standing beside her, resolutely proposing cooperation with Yin.
It turns out Shixiu had already interacted with him...
So, at this mont, what is Ren Yixuan, standing here, really thinking...
"Mr. Ren, back when Huayong Technology reached cooperation with Yin, they expressed their confidence in Yin’s products at a press conference."
"However, soon after, Yin’s new product had issues. You’re taking such a big risk to support Yin Group now, isn’t this too irrational?"
Ren Yixuan stared fixedly at the questioning reporter,
"What I think might be irrational, should be Huayong Technology, right?"
"Mr. Ren, why do you say that?"
"The electronic chip developed by Yin Group claid its problems were unrelated even before the quality inspections were released, trying to dodge their product issues, wouldn’t that be overly evasive?"
"Mr. Ren’s comnt implies that the smartphone explosion was due to Huayong Technology’s own product issues and not Yin’s new electronic chip?"
"I didn’t say that, I just think everything should speak by solid evidence."
"But Mr.—"
Just as the reporter was about to continue asking, Secretary Luo reentered the scene with sothing in hand.
Ren Yixuan raised his hand to interrupt the reporter’s questioning.
He accepted the items Secretary Luo presented on a tray: a lighter and... a box of electronic chips.
Each electronic chip was a quarter the size of a palm.
He picked up the lighter. With a "click," a small blue fla ignited.
Ren Yixuan directly picked an electronic chip from the box, covered densely with intricate circuits and patterns.
"What is this for?"
Su Xiaong, slightly frowning, stepped forward and asked, her voice a bit tense.
Ren Yixuan tilted his head, glanced at Su Xiaong, then at the senior executives of Yin present, and said,
"They claim the electronic chip from Yin Group will explode; I find that miraculous, so let’s test and see if this product, as Huayong Technology’s response suggests, explodes upon high temperatures."
"Ren Yixuan, this should be left to the Quality Inspection Bureau, you don’t need to—"
"If you don’t trust your own product, stand further away; if you believe in it, stand here without moving, like ."
"..."
Facing Ren Yixuan’s determined gaze, Su Xiaong’s throat felt blocked, her words stamring and weak.
"Do you... know what you’re doing..."
"More clearly than ever."
"Ren..."
Su Xiaong tried to say more, but saw Ren Yixuan holding the chip in one hand, the lighter in the other, and the chip had already touched the fla.
The audience was almost silent.
The dia were shocked not only by Ren Yixuan’s behavior but by the Yin executives on stage, with the person in charge of this chip developnt leading, all stepping forward together!
Not retreating but advancing!
No hesitation in their hearts, their gaze steadfast.
A product developed over a year, undergone countless failed experints.
They knew this chip better than anyone.
Explode under high temperature?
Utterly ridiculous!
They also knew better than anyone why this chip sparked so many issues, because of intentional manipulation behind the scenes.
The entire incident was.
They also knew, soone had the guts to dare go to this extent because of a change in leadership at Yin Group.
No matter how hard Su Xiaong tried, no one wanted to regard such a young girl seriously.
No matter how high her spirits or how intelligent she was, no one really saw her as a rival.
A tiger down the hill bullied by dogs seems aptly fitting to describe the current state of Yin.
Tiny Huayong Technology...
The Huayong Technology CEO had spent over three months fighting to use this chip.
Back then, bowing low, now... boldly tossing "the responsibility" onto Yin.
If they retreated at this ti...
Even if it was just a small step back, or a slight body tilt backward, it would be captured by the eyes of all present.
After Yin Shixiu passed, they had indeed wondered where Yin would head under the lead of such a young, uninford woman like Su Xiaong...
