As soon as Cheng Liu arrived in G City, she began to have people look into the director she had been dealing with before. At the time, she hadn’t noticed anything wrong when interacting with him. Either the person was a good actor, or he didn’t know anything about it.

Cheng Liu preferred the latter to be true, but everything depended on the results of the investigation.

Of course, this was not the only thing being investigated.

“Compile all the evidence for now.” Cheng Liu was standing in front of the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel’s high-rise suite. She said to He Bai behind her, “Tomorrow, we will see what their true purpose is.”

He Bai agreed and then reminded, “Senior sister, please take a rest first.”

They met with several people today, and Cheng Liu stayed at the company all night last night without rest.

Cheng Liu turned around and went to get the laptop, “You also go to sleep for a while, I’ll take another look.”

He Bai responded, “Okay, I’ll wake you up you tomorrow.”

Cheng Liu nodded casually and looked at the information on the computer expressionlessly. When she finally lay on the bed, she looked at the time and saw that it was already two-thirty in the morning.

Cheng Liu pressed a hand on her forehead and finally put down her phone. She did not send a message to Ji Chaozhou for fear of disturbing his sleep.

When He Bai came in the next day Cheng Liu was already awake and talking to someone on the phone.

“President Cheng, breakfast.” He Bai went to the restaurant and got two simple breakfast meals for them. He enjoyed the atmosphere between them for a moment; it was as if they had returned to the time when they were busy and fighting together side by side.

Cheng Liu took the package, took out a piece of toast from it, and ate it in several bites, “It seems the director I was dealing with really had no idea. He’s since been moved to another department to work, and his subordinate was directly appointed to the car company’s headquarters.”

Cheng Liu only met the that director’s subordinate once at the beginning and didn’t notice anything unusual at the time.

“There is also news from my sister, it seems that there are internal disagreements within the company,” He Bai said. “The department responsible for the newly launched system and the department we were cooperating with before are in a competitive relationship. It is very likely that they obtained our technology by talking with the employees that we have been talking with.”

Cheng Liu had no reaction. The employees of Shenyin Technology worked overtime the night before last to crack the new system launched by the car company and found that some of the bug fixes in it were ones they modified themselves.

“Let’s go.” Cheng Liu wiped her hands and threw the tissue into the trash can. “It’s time to meet their boss.”

On the way, Cheng Liu finally had a moment of quiet, and she took out her mobile phone to send a WeChat message to Ji Chaozhou.

Cheng Liu: [Good morning! Young President Cheng climbs the wall.gif]

The emoticons she had previously collected from Director Li Dong came in handy.

Cheng Liu even carefully added a rose to this wall-climbing animation, making it look like she was jumping over the wall with a rose stem in her mouth.

She didn’t tell Ji Chaozhou that she was busy here because she didn’t want him to worry.

Ji Chaozhou didn’t reply; Cheng Liu didn’t mind.

“The Executive Director and the Director in charge of the online system are in two factions.” He Bai said, “Maybe they can be divided later.”

Cheng Liu put away her cell phone, “Two factions? They are one company. We will know their purpose later.”

The car parked outside the headquarters of Mingtai Automobile Company in G City. Cheng Liu got out of the car and walked inside, with He Bai following behind.

“We made an appointment yesterday.” After entering the headquarters lobby, He Bai came forward to deal with the front desk, and then the two of them entered the elevator together.

“Young President Cheng.” The Executive Director of Mingtai was already waiting outside the elevator. When he saw Cheng Liu, he immediately stepped forward to shake hands warmly.

“Director Wu, long time no see.” Cheng Liu shook his hand, smiled as well, and went straight to the topic, “I came today to talk about some breaches of contract by your company.”

“I’ve heard about it,” the Mingtai Executive Director said with an ugly face. “I didn’t expect them to be so bold. Late last night, we notified the people in that department to wait for processing. We were just meeting as to how to deal with them. We will definitely give Young President Cheng a satisfactory answer.”

Cheng Liu’s eyes fell on the face of Executive Chairman Mingtai, and she said calmly, “Oh, what is the result?”

“All the people in that department have been fired. The director originally responsible for communicating with Young President Cheng, we must hold him accountable.” Mingtai Executive Director said with anger on his face, “This has ruined the reputation of our company.”

“What about the newly launched system?” Cheng Liu glanced at Mingtai Executive Chairman, “How is Director Wu going to deal with it?”

“It must go offline.” Executive Chairman of Mingtai asked Cheng Liu to sit down, “Don’t worry, Young President Cheng, we will remove the new system for download tomorrow.”

Cheng Liu was noncommittal and sat back on her chair, seeming a little relaxed.

“However, many car owners have already updated their systems. We can prompt that there are problems with the new system,” Mingtai Executive Director said with some distress, “but I just don’t know if they will replace it. Young President Cheng, as you know, even us, we cannot be people to revert to the old system.”

Cheng Liu lowered her gaze and played with her fingers, echoing, “Director Wu is right.”
