Chapter 293 Technology
Days passed by and the news about Angler Tech slowly died down. However, that did not mean the situation behind the scenes was the same.
On the outside, Wang Empire seemed calm... too calm. They did not give any interviews nor reacted to the fact that many people, who were working for them, transferred to Angler Tech. But on the inside, Jiang Yue was doing her best to finish her ’colossus’ project as soon as possible and use it on Li Qiang.
However, who would have known that Angler Tech would have the audacity to provoke Jiang Yue after the things that they had done? Who would have known that they would have the courage to actually knock on Jiang Yue’s door and cause troubles?
At least, that was what Qin Fen was doing right then. She marched into Wang Empire building without an appointment, and asked to see Jiang Yue to talk about the stolen trade secrets. Qin Fen deliberately said it in a way that the people near her would be able to hear her words alongside the front desk officer. She wanted everyone to wrongly assume that she was here because Jiang Yue had stolen some secrets from their company.
Because of this, the front desk officer panicked and immediately called Shen Rong. In response, Shen Rong personally came to fetch Qin Fen and led her into Jiang Yue’s office.
For Qin Fen this was a sign that Jiang Yue was afraid of her. She must have feared that Qin Fen would reveal that to the media, right? Even though it was clearly Angler Tech, who had stolen the codes from Wang Empire, news like this was bound to affect the stocks of the company.
If Qin Fen released that news, investors would still pull out their shares, to avoid being dragged down by Wang Empire. After all, the business world was like that. People would only support someone, who would give them benefits and would leave them once they were deemed useless...
In the world of business, profit was the only important thing. People would gladly even forget about their conscience and friendships for it.
That was the harsh truth from which even geniuses suffered from time to time.
"Glad that you agreed to meet me." Qin Fen arrogantly said as she took a seat across Jiang Yue.
"I was not that busy," she answered. Of course, she would make some time for this woman. "Why are you here?"
"Angler Tech is planning to sue your company for stealing corporate secrets," she stated.
Jiang Yue instantly curled her lips into a smirk. "So?"
"So... I am here to tell you that our CEO wants to schedule a meeting, to talk about that," she answered. She could already see the fear in Jiang Yue’s eyes, so she was very confident that Jiang Yue would agree with that meeting. "I suggest you agree to the meeting... talk to our CEO, so we can settle for a compensation amount, and we will not release this news," she threatened.
"Miss Qin... you are an engineer yourself." Jiang Yue said. "You should know that there are ways to know if something was indeed stolen or not, right? Now... I have proof that our technology was stolen."
"Do you have one?" Jiang Yue added.
"I..." Qin Fen widened her eyes at Jiang Yue. Why was she aware of that? Did she really have proof? But she made sure to check the file... she was sure that it did not have anything that would spy the one, who had stolen it nor any malware that could have damaged the code when using it. So what was Jiang Yue talking about?
"Of course we do," Qin Fen blurted out, confident that her words would scare Jiang Yue.
"Great! Then I will be waiting for your lawyers." Jiang Yue smiled at her. "I mean... I heard that the M Country is about to ask tech companies to send their proposals for their military technology renewal. I’m sure this lawsuit will not affect our chance to join it, right?"
"What? Who told you that?" she asked. M Country was the most advanced country in terms of military technology. Every tech company wanted to become a part of this country to level up their prestige. So, why hadn’t she hear about this?
"Oh... don’t tell me... they haven’t informed you?"
Qin Fen was forced to swallow all her questions when she saw the mockery in Jiang Yue’s eyes. Were they informed about this? Apparently, she did not know. She was just the head of the research department in the company and not the CEO or someone, who had a high position. "Well... I guess our CEO has received the same invitation. Or else, why would he send me here? He must have known that someone had also stolen your encrypted files, and wanted to keep that information a secret. After all, our company has also lost secret files."
Qin Fen thought that she could convince Jiang Yue easily. So, who would have thought that Jiang Yue would be the one, who unknowingly convinced her to spit some pieces of information that would verify Angler Tech as the one responsible for the stealing incident?
"Tsk... Tsk... Miss Qin, I wonder how did you know that we have also lost an encrypted file? When have I told you that TECHNOLOGY was stolen from Wang Empire?"
