In the conference room, the atmosphere seemed to be harmonious, and the Mingtai Executive Director was kind, “It’s good that Young President Cheng understands. Give us a week to deal with it.”

“One week is too long.” Cheng Liu changed her posture, leaned her elbows on the armrest, and said with a smile, “Why don’t you do it this way? You can issue a notice to inform users that there are serious bugs in the system. I believe that they will change their car’s system immediately after they see it.”

The Mingtai Executive Director’s face turned stiff, and then he said apologetically, “This is not easy to do; it will make users have a bad impression of us. Moreover, those users who have downloaded the new system have not found any problems. I’m afraid that issuing such a notice will have a negative impact on Mingtai.”

“Will it? Director Wu, there are still many shortcomings in the system made by our Shenyin Technology. Although some people in your company have stolen our technology and modified it, the technology is still not mature at present.” Cheng Liu sat upright and said, “Once something happens, it could lead to fatalities. I hope Mingtai can consider the safety of the car owner and users first. The car users should be our priority.”

The Mingtai Executive Director still had a smile on his face as he did Taichi and said, “I know that Young President Cheng is dissatisfied with Mingtai. It’s really because the company has been a little chaotic recently, which has caused these mistakes, but we will deal with what we should deal with as soon as possible.”

Without waiting for Cheng Liu to make a sound, he said, “In fact, I have always wanted to continue to cooperate with Shenyin Technology, but some shareholders of the company think that the annual R&D funds, plus the high fees paid to Shenyin Technology for the maturation of future technology is too high. If Shenyin Technology is willing to reduce their fees a little, I can ask them to agree to continue to cooperate.

Cheng Liu raised her eyelids and looked at the Executive Director opposite her and suddenly smiled, “Mingtai’s calculations are good.”

“Young President Cheng’s words…” The Mingtai Executive Director was surprised, “I sincerely want to cooperate with Shenyin Technology.”

“You want to master the technology yourself, and yet you still talk about reducing the cost of cooperation with Shenyin.” Cheng Liu stretched out her hands and dusted the nonexistent dust on her sleeves, “Are you sure you can sell this dish?”

After being exposed, the Mingtai Executive Director was not angry. His upper body relaxed and he leaned back into chair. “It was just a suggestion. In fact, Mingtai has now mastered some technology and invested the cooperation expenses in our company’s in-house research and development department. Maybe we can get ahead of Shenyin Technology.”

Cheng Liu got up and said, “Then we will have to wait and see.”

She took two steps, suddenly turned back and said, “For the sake of user safety, Mingtai had better notify users to change the system tomorrow. In addition, regarding this incident, Shenyin Technology will also hold a press conference tomorrow night.”

After Cheng Liu finished speaking, she walked straight out of the conference room, and He Bai followed her silently.

As soon as they left, the face of the Mingtai Executive Director, still sitting on the chair, immediately darkened and he slapped the table hard. “This Cheng Liu, she thinks she’s so great!”

Two people came in immediately through another small door from the other side of the conference room. One of the shareholders came in and said, “How did Cheng Liu know about our new system? We have almost completely dispersed the R&D department she cooperated with, and it has only been online for a few days? “

From the perspective of Mingtai’s senior management, Shenyin Technology has clearly already created the system, but has been reluctant to put it into use. It was obviously to a gambit to delay matters so as to extract high fees.

They started this matter half a year ago, and they kept the whole process secret. Even a considerable number of people in their own company didn’t know. The reason for going online first was to seize the opportunity, and at the same time, they felt that the technology was safe enough.

Logically speaking, by the time the system was rolled out, it would be too late for Shenyin Technology to find out.

“First take down the new system before their press conference.” Executive Chairman Mingtai sneered, “Just as Cheng Liu said, users will be notified later that there are serious vulnerabilities in the system.”

“This…” a shareholder was puzzled, “will leave a bad impression on users.”

The executive chairman looked over, “This system was developed by Shenyin Technology. What does the serious vulnerability have to do with Mingtai? Fortunately, we discovered it early and notified users in time.”

The three people in the conference room looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly smiled in unison.

… …

Cheng Liu didn’t speak again they got into the car, “Were you able to record it?”

He Bai nodded and sent the recording on his mobile phone to Cheng Liu, “Are we holding a press conference for tomorrow night?”

“No.” Cheng Liu looked at the recording file sent to her phone, “Prepare for an emergency press conference tomorrow afternoon.”

“Okay, then I’ll contact the media.” He Bai drove out and turned to ask Cheng Liu, “Will you return to City S now?”

“Let’s go meet someone first,” Cheng Liu gave an address.

An hour later, the two arrived in front of a villa in the suburbs.

The villa was surrounded by a half-person-high fence, and it was full of roses. Cheng Liu walked to the gate and saw through the fence: inside was a middle-aged man watering the flowers. He was a bit on the chubby side and didn’t seem to be too familiar in doing this kind of things, wobbling a little when he bent over.

Cheng Liu stood outside the fence and called out, “Mr. Wang.”

Wang Kunxiao looked up and was surprised when he saw Cheng Liu. “Young President Cheng?”

He was the one who had always been in contact with Cheng Liu during Mingtai’s cooperation with Shenyin.

“I haven’t seen you for a while. I would like to treat Mr. Wang to lunch,” Cheng Liu said with her hands on top of the fence.

Wang Kunxiao looked at Cheng Liu’s expression. She seemed to be no different from before. He put down the watering can in his hand and said with a hearty smile, “When Young President Cheng comes to G City, she is at my, Wang Kunxiao’s, territory. It’s my turn to treat her.”

“Okay, I’m not polite,” Cheng Liu replied, eyebrows raised.

Wang Kunxiao washed his hands from the faucet next to him, walked out, and saw He Bai standing behind Cheng Liu. He took a few more glances and asked, “Is this Mr. He?”

He Bai nodded and stretched out his hand, “Mr. Wang.”

“I’ve heard of Mr. He before, but I’ve never had the chance to see him person,” Wang Kunxiao is also a well-rounded person.

He Bai subconsciously looked at Cheng Liu, thinking that she had mentioned him in front of others.

“I never said anything,” Cheng Liu seemed to know what he was thinking and took the initiative to refute possible rumors.

He Bai: “…”

Wang Kunxiao laughed out loud. “Chief Assistant He is very capable at work. Everyone has heard of this.” 

To have the ability to keep up with Cheng Liu—it was difficult not to attract other people’s attention.
