A few days later, several media outlets suddenly published negative reports about Qihang Technology.

"Qihang Technology's chips have serious security vulnerabilities!"

"Qihang Technology is suspected of false advertising and deceiving consumers!"

"Qihang Technology has evaded taxes and violated national laws and regulations!"

These reports immediately caused a huge uproar upon publication.

"What's going on?" Lin Fan frowned upon seeing these reports. "These are all baseless rumors!"

"It's obvious that this is something our competitors are doing behind our backs," Ye Yuyan calmly analyzed. "They're trying to smear us and damage our reputation through this method."

"We must take immediate action to clarify the facts and eliminate the negative impact," Lin Fan said decisively. "Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Qihang Technology quickly held a press conference.

"Dear media friends and members of the public," Lin Fan's voice was calm and powerful, "Recently, some media outlets have published negative reports about Qihang Technology. These reports are completely fabricated and malicious slander!"

"We have gathered sufficient evidence to prove the falsehood of these reports," Lin Fan said, pointing to the large screen behind him. "We will pursue legal action against the media outlets that spread these rumors!"

"We at Qihang Technology have always adhered to the principle of honest operation and will never do anything that harms the interests of consumers!" Lin Fan's voice was firm and powerful. "We welcome supervision from all sectors of society, but we will never tolerate any form of defamation or slander!"

The atmosphere at the press conference was solemn and serious. Reporters raised their hands to ask questions, and Lin Fan and Ye Yuyan answered them one by one, their attitudes frank and their arguments well-reasoned.

At the same time, Qihang Technology's legal team also took action.

“Attorney Li, we have gathered enough evidence to prove that these negative reports were orchestrated by our competitors.”

“Okay!” Attorney Li nodded. “Initiate litigation proceedings immediately and file a full lawsuit against the competitor!”

"You guys surnamed Jin, you've finally met your match!" Li Ming, the chief lawyer of Qihang Technology, slammed a thick stack of litigation documents in front of the competitor's legal representative. The documents scattered all over the floor like white snowflakes, or perhaps a silent mockery of the competitor.

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses turned pale and then flushed. He adjusted his glasses, trying to hide his inner turmoil, but found his hands trembling slightly. He took a deep breath and forced a calm expression, saying, "Attorney Li, you can't just say whatever you want! We are a legitimate company, and your accusations are completely fabricated!"

"Complete fabrication?" Li Ming sneered, pointing to the documents scattered on the ground. "These are all evidence! You maliciously spread rumors, defamed our reputation, and stole our trade secrets. Every single one of these acts is irrefutable! You still want to deny it?"

Sweat began to bead on the forehead of the man with the gold-rimmed glasses. His eyes darted around, avoiding Li Ming's sharp gaze. "Attorney Li, there... there must be some misunderstanding..." he stammered, his voice growing softer and softer, his confidence clearly waning.

"A misunderstanding?" Li Ming pressed on. "Fine, then produce the relevant evidence, and we'll see who's right in court! Let's see if it's a misunderstanding or if you're just guilty!"

The man with the wire-rimmed glasses looked even more grim. He knew that once in court, these things wouldn't stand up to scrutiny. He tried to change the subject: "Attorney Li, we're in the same profession, we'll see each other all the time, why make things so tense? How about... how about we settle this privately?"

"Reconciliation?" Li Ming seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. "Do you think the losses you've caused us can be erased by the word 'reconciliation'? Let me tell you, this time, Qihang Technology will not tolerate this! We will make you pay the price you deserve!"

Li Ming turned and left, leaving behind a resounding statement: "Be prepared to face the punishment of the law!"

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses slumped in his chair, his face deathly pale. He knew that this time, they were really in deep trouble.

Meanwhile, within Qihang Technology, a silent war is quietly underway.

"Mr. Lin, the company's stock price has dropped by 5%!" The CFO rushed into Lin Fan's office, his face anxious. "Moreover, I heard that some minority shareholders have already started selling their shares!"

Lin Fan frowned. He knew this was a chain reaction caused by negative reports from competitors. Once market confidence wavered, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Hold on!" Lin Fan's voice was deep and powerful. "Notify all shareholders to convene an emergency shareholders' meeting!"

Ye Yuyan walked in, her expression equally grave. "I've also received many calls from customers who have raised questions about our products."

“I know,” Lin Fan nodded. “This is a challenge we must face.”

"What should we do?" Ye Yuyan looked at Lin Fan, her eyes filled with worry.

"We'll meet force with force, and we'll dam water with water!" Lin Fan's eyes were firm. "We can't afford to lose our composure. On the one hand, we need to reassure shareholders and stabilize market confidence; on the other hand, we need to strengthen communication with customers and ensure product quality and service."

The atmosphere at the emergency shareholders' meeting was tense and oppressive. The minority shareholders were whispering amongst themselves, their faces filled with anxiety and unease.

"President Lin, what exactly happened? Why has the company's stock price plummeted like this?"

"Yes, are those negative reports true? Will our money be wasted?"

"I...I'm a little scared, I'm thinking of selling my stocks..."

Faced with the shareholders' doubts and panic, Lin Fan stepped onto the stage, his voice loud and firm: "Shareholders, please be quiet!"

"I know that some recent negative reports have caused concern about the company. But please believe me, these reports are malicious slanders from our competitors, and they are complete lies!"

"We at Qihang Technology have always adhered to the principle of honest operation, and the quality of our products is absolutely top-notch! We will never do anything that harms the interests of our shareholders!"

Lin Fan's gaze swept across the room, his eyes filled with power: "We have already filed a lawsuit against our competitors, and we believe the law will give us a fair judgment!"

"The company may face some difficulties during this period, but I believe that as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to overcome them!"

"I, Lin Fan, guarantee with my personal reputation that Qihang Technology will never let you down!"

Lin Fan's words acted like a stabilizing force, calming the shareholders' emotions.

Ye Yuyan also stepped forward, saying gently but firmly, "Shareholders, please believe in us! We will definitely prove our innocence and our strength with our actions!"

"We will strengthen communication with our customers and promise to guarantee product quality and service so that everyone can rest assured!"

"We will also increase our investment in public welfare, give back to society with practical actions, and shoulder our due responsibilities!"

Ye Yuyan's words brought warmth and hope to the shareholders.

After the meeting, Lin Fan and Ye Yuyan immediately convened the marketing and R&D departments to formulate a series of countermeasures.

"Marketing department, immediately launch a series of marketing activities!" Lin Fan said to the head of the marketing department. "Through a combination of online and offline methods, showcase the true performance and advantages of our 'Morning Star' chip, and let consumers experience the product's reliability firsthand!"

"We want consumers to see that our products can withstand the test!"
