Chapter 523 The Reason Is So Outrageous

She got up and went to the living room, only to find to her surprise that there was no breakfast on the table today.

A question flashed through her mind: Could it be that Qin Ce was angry because she hadn't slept last night, and therefore hadn't left her breakfast?

It has to be said that Qiao Xing is genuinely panicked at this moment.

However, when she went over to take a look, she found that Qin Ce had left her a note that read: "He must not get up until noon again. The food is in the refrigerator."

Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment, then she was moved. She put the note away, put it in the box, and went to the refrigerator to open it.

The vegetables inside were all sealed intact with plastic wrap, and there was also an egg custard, but it wasn't steamed; it was pre-mixed, and she could just take it and steam it for a few minutes herself.

All the other dishes were already prepared and could be eaten after being reheated.

She carried the dishes to the kitchen, and while heating them up, she had nothing to do, so she took out her phone, found Xiao Lin's WeChat, and sent her a message.

I'm asking about the approval process.

Xiao Lin didn't reply. Qiao Xing waited a few minutes, then put her phone away and continued heating the dishes.

When Xiao Lin saw the message, it was 2 PM, during her workday. She frowned slightly and was about to reply to Qiao Xing that He Yu was in charge, but then she paused, remembering something.

Qiao Xing usually wouldn't come to ask her, since she wasn't short of money. Unless there was something important, Qiao Xing wouldn't come directly to her.

So she picked up the intercom on the table and called He Yu over.

"Mr. Xiao, you wanted to see me?"

Xiao Lin hummed in agreement and asked, "How's that app from before coming along?"

He Yu was taken aback. Although she didn't know why Xiao Lin asked this question, she pondered and said, "The first version has been delivered and is currently in trial use, awaiting user feedback."

"How long have you been using it?"

"Half a month."

"What's the feedback like?"

He Yu said, "I will send you the feedback data later."

Xiao Lin waved her hand, "No need, just tell me the feedback."

Thinking of Shen Boyan's attitude towards her, He Yu said, "The feedback so far is so-so. There are quite a few bugs, as well as functional issues. The design is not convenient enough, making it troublesome to use. The software is not smooth enough and often lags and crashes."

"Is it that serious?"

Of course it's not that serious. These comments only apply to a few individual users, but most users are using it without any problems. The Big Bad Wolf team has already fixed some minor bugs.

Xiao Lin pondered for a moment and said, "I understand, you can go now."

He Yu nodded and prepared to leave, but then, as if remembering something, she cautiously asked, "Mr. Xiao, you seem to value this software very much?"

"I value all company projects, so keep a close eye on them and make sure nothing goes wrong."

He Yu couldn't get any information out of her, and she nodded in disappointment as she left.

After He Yu left, Xiao Lin downloaded the software and tried it out herself. Although Qiao Xing had contacted her, she didn't immediately give him an answer, nor did she completely believe He Yu's explanation.

As long as the problem isn't too serious, Xiao Lin won't deliberately hold them back.

But if the problem is really as He Yu said, she feels that public and private matters should still be kept separate.

Otherwise, given the magnitude of the problem, the fact that Qiao Xing would still ask her about it is enough to show that Qiao Xing is unreliable. She only passed their review this time because of their friendship, so Qiao Xing will likely come to her again next time.

Continuing like this will only worsen the relationship between the two parties. It would be better to end the cooperation sooner rather than later and maintain a friendly relationship.

With that thought in mind, the software had already been downloaded.

Xiao Lin tried it herself and didn't find any of the problems He Yu mentioned.

Thinking it was due to the software's instability, she had Yang Han use it again, while she exited and refreshed the page several times over two hours, during which it only lagged once.

Or perhaps it was her phone overheating that caused the lag.

Yang Han also gave feedback, saying there was no problem. He even posted a message showing off that he got two likes as soon as he posted it.

Xiao Lin opened the forum with suspicion. It was in the beta testing phase, so there weren't many posts. She immediately spotted Yang Han's familiar dog avatar.

What Yang Han posted was a bunch of photos with the caption: "The bottles and jars my wife usually uses."

Xiao Lin's lips twitched slightly.

She understood the source of those two likes: one was from him, and the other was from him taking a picture in front of a mirror, showing his own face.

Xiao Lin exited the software, pondered for a while, and then asked He Yu for feedback data.

This request terrified He Yu. If Xiao Lin had asked for feedback data from the beginning, she would have told the truth.

But after she fabricated a story, Xiao Lin came to her again asking for feedback data. Was she trying to kill her?

She could only stall for time, pretending to be busy, and it took her two hours to reply to Xiao Lin.

Two hours was enough time for her to revise the feedback data.

When Xiao Lin received this feedback data showing a staggering 70% negative review rate, her expression turned sour.

She didn't say anything, but cold sweat broke out on He Yu's forehead.

"Mr. Xiao, is there a problem?"

Xiaoling glanced at her and asked, "Is this data accurate?"

He Yu hurriedly replied, "Of course it's real. How could I dare to fool you with something fake? Besides, it's just an application software; I have no need to."

Xiao Lin threw the feedback data on the table. The sound wasn't loud, but the action carried an undeniable sense of pressure.

"He Yu, I'll ask you one more time, is the data accurate?"

He Yu opened her mouth, cold sweat trickling down her forehead and down her temples, washing away the foundation on her face.

"I……"

Since Xiao Lin asked this question, she must know something. She was torn between telling the truth and sticking to her guns.

"He Yu, speak."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao, this data is fake." He Yu chose to confess.

Xiao Lin closed her eyes and sighed in disappointment, "Why?"

"I……"

"What?"

He Yu whispered, "I don't like them."

Xiao Lin had considered many reasons, but she never expected He Yu's reason to be so outrageous.

She stared at He Yu in disbelief, momentarily speechless.

"He Yu, how many years have you been with me?"

"Five years..."

"It's been five years, and you still handle your work based on your personal emotions. If you don't like them, you use false data to deceive your superiors. So, don't I have reason to suspect that you have done other things behind my back without my knowledge?"

He Yu's expression changed drastically. She waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, it's only this once, really only this once, Mr. Xiao, please believe me!"

Xiao Lin was genuinely disappointed. "Because I discovered this time, so it's only this once, right?"

"No!!"

"Forget it, whether it is or not, I will find out for myself. You should handle this matter first. Until I find out the truth, Linda will take over your work."

He Yu stared at her in shock, her eyes wide. "President Xiao, you're going to fire me for such a small thing?"
