The night Chi Yuan and Qi Wang consummated their relationship, Qi Wang, as an illegitimate child, had just been acknowledged by the Qi family.

At that time, the Chi family was at its peak, an...

Chapter 50 What else do you want

Chi Yuan picked up the phone and looked at it. There were not only the two of them calling, but also several unfamiliar numbers, including her father.

The messages kept coming in, and Chi Yuan felt very annoyed for a moment. He turned on the Do Not Disturb function and almost smashed his phone on the table.

"He stole the fruits of his labor and ended up stealing them from me. Do you really think I can't find him?"

Chi Yuan thought he could handle it calmly.

Even though she wasn't that surprised, she couldn't suppress the anger in her heart.

She never thought there would be a mole in the R&D department.

"Don't worry. They're only holding a semi-finished product. We have the evidence. Let's just wait and see. We can continue working on our project."

He Yuanshan was much calmer.

He was a professor after all, so what kind of storms had he not seen in his research? He had seen plenty of cases of plagiarism.

Even he himself has experienced it.

Therefore, he knew very well how to solve the problem and how to make the other party lose more.

"That's what I said, but I'm really panicking." Chi Yuan sat down opposite him. "It feels terrible to be betrayed by your own people."

Just like back then, she trusted Qi Ye very much, but he left her.

Chi Yuan didn't want to see him as the instigator of that incident, but four years had passed and it was time for her to face it.

That's betrayal.

"I understand how it feels, it's terrible, but it's very common. It's okay to feel bad, but you have to learn to accept it."

He Yuanshan's expression was rare and serious. "The most important thing now isn't to be sad, nor to find the traitor. Instead, it's to finish our work as quickly as possible, fix all the vulnerabilities, and release the new search engine on time."

"If we give up here, it will just be what our opponents want because they have delayed their plans."

He guided her slowly and steadily, his serious tone tinged with gentleness, gradually soothing Chi Yuan's anxiety.

She wasn't discouraged, she just felt irritated and nauseous, as if she had eaten a fly.

Even though she knew she couldn't delay her work because of this, she still couldn't help but be affected.

Especially after seeing the call from Qi Wang...she would doubt herself even more.

Chi Yuan looked up, feeling as if a huge stone had been lifted from his heart.

"H, thank goodness you're here, otherwise I would have lost my composure."

He Yuanshan smiled reassuringly, "Don't worry. I've already checked out the company that released the unfinished product. It's just a small company with less than 10 people. They didn't even make any changes to the search engine they used. Their capabilities are just so-so, and they're no match for us."

Chi Yuan nodded, looked at the remaining work, and regained his enthusiasm.

After thinking about it, she picked up her phone and planned to reply to several missed calls.

Of course, she would ignore unfamiliar calls.

As an investor, it was normal for Mr. Bai to be concerned about the results. Chi Yuan didn't explain too much, only saying, "It won't be affected."

Her father called because he was more worried about her.

"Yuanyuan, it's normal to encounter problems in a project. Don't blame yourself too much. The company really needs to conduct a major review. Ultimately, it's my fault."

Chi Yuan's eyes were red again.

He has been through so much in the past few months that it's normal for his father to not be able to take care of him.

The ones who are wrong are those who betray their own people.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. There's no need to rush to deal with the traitor. Once this is over, the traitors in the company will naturally emerge."

The person Chi Yuan least wants to pay attention to is Qi Wang.

He also sent a message.

After the phone call, there was only a simple sentence.

"Give me an explanation."

The commanding tone is so uncomfortable!

Therefore, her reply was also full of anger.

"There's nothing to explain, believe it or not."

Qi Wang could also speak more pleasantly, and Chi Yuan could also have a better way of responding.

One is accustomed to speaking this way, and the other has prejudice in his heart.

Misunderstandings arose as a result of this conversation.

Putting down his phone, Chi Yuan continued to work.

No matter who sent her the message that day, she pretended not to see it.

But she had already worked all day and all night, and the remaining investigation work would require more energy. Before she had started working for long, Chi Yuan felt dizzy.

He Yuanshan noticed that she was not in a good state and said with concern: "You should get some sleep first, and I will take care of the rest of the finishing work."

"But you haven't slept all night, how can I leave the work to you alone?"

Chi Yuan would never do such a thing.

What's more, she was the one who invited He Yuanshan to come to Qi's, but she just fell asleep when she couldn't hold on any longer. What kind of thing is that?

He Yuanshan smiled helplessly: "Why should we both argue so much? Besides, you just started working again not long ago. It's normal for your body to be unable to handle such an all-nighter. I'm used to it. This last bit of work is nothing to me. Don't worry."

Hearing this, Chi Yuan felt relieved. Plus, she was so sleepy that she fell asleep on the table.

She fell asleep quickly and soundly, and even the noise outside could not disturb her.

I actually slept for the entire afternoon.

When she woke up again, the sun was about to set. He Yuanshan was still sitting at her desk in the same position as before she fell asleep.

"how's it going?"

Chi Yuan stood up in a daze and walked to He Yuanshan, his eyes a little blurry.

"It's done."

She stared at the computer screen for a while before realizing that Heyuan Mountain was in trial operation.

After completing the operation, he snapped his fingers with satisfaction.

"Perfect! If you're in a hurry, we can release it tonight!"

Chi Yuan instantly became much more sober.

"The original release date was the day after tomorrow. If there were no leaks, the earliest it would have been released would have been tomorrow."

But now... in order to avoid further leaks, do we have to release it on the spot?

Chi Yuan couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

Generally speaking, new technologies are not released at the end of the working day.

The amount of information released at this time is not as large as in the morning.

"I think it's all right. It won't affect the spread. Besides, they just released it this morning, and we rushed to release it in the evening. We will definitely be accused of riding on the popularity. With all the traffic, why not take advantage of it?"

Chi Yuan was amused by him: "You are right, but let me think about it."

The search engine was completely perfected, and Chi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief again.

She was about to walk back to her workstation when she suddenly felt dizzy, perhaps because she had just woken up.

Chi Yuan held onto the edge of the table and almost fell to the ground. He Yuanshan was quick to grab her wrist.

"Are you okay? Didn't you get enough rest? I'll take you home to rest."

Chi Yuan rubbed his temples and shook his head gently: "It's okay, I just woke up and felt a little dizzy, I'll be fine after eating something."

There seemed to be steady footsteps outside the door.

Chi Yuan thought that it was already past the working hours, and since she had not asked for overtime, there should be no one in the outer office.

When she came to her senses, the office door had been pushed open.

The person who came was actually Qi Wang.

His eyes fell squarely on her held wrist.
