"R&D department, work overtime to conduct more rigorous security testing and performance optimization on the chip!" Lin Fan said to the head of R&D. "Release the test results promptly and use data to refute the rumors!"

"We must speak with facts and make those who spread rumors feel ashamed!"

The marketing department acted swiftly, launching a large-scale marketing campaign.

In electronics stores in major cities, Qihang Technology has set up special experience zones, inviting consumers to personally experience the powerful performance of the "Qimingxing" chip.

"Everyone, come and see! This is Qihang Technology's 'Morning Star' chip. It has super performance and is safe and reliable!"

"Don't believe me? No problem, you can experience it for yourself! We have professional engineers to answer any questions you may have!"

"We've also prepared plenty of gifts for you to come and claim!"

Online, Qihang Technology released a series of popular science videos and technical articles about the "Qimingxing" chip through various social media platforms.

"How powerful is the 'Morning Star' chip? Watch this video to find out!"

"Security vulnerabilities? They don't exist! We have state-of-the-art security technology to guarantee your information security!"

"Don't believe rumors, don't spread rumors! Trust science, trust Qihang Technology!"

The R&D department also worked day and night to conduct even more rigorous tests on the "Morning Star" chip.

"The report is out!" The head of the R&D department excitedly rushed into Lin Fan's office with a report in hand. "Our chips fully comply with national standards, and even far exceed them!"

"Great!" Lin Fan said excitedly, "Announce the results immediately!"

Qihang Technology has published a detailed test report on the "Qimingxing" chip on its official website and major media platforms.

"The data speaks for itself! The 'Qimingxing' chip is safe, reliable, and boasts superior performance!"

"Rumors stop with the wise! Please trust science and trust Qihang Technology!"

At the same time, Qihang Technology's public welfare division has also increased its investment in public welfare activities.

"Ms. Ye, we have already contacted several schools and hospitals in impoverished areas," the head of the public welfare department reported to Ye Yuyan. "We will donate a batch of computers and medical equipment to them."

“Very good.” Ye Yuyan nodded. “We should not only help them solve their material difficulties, but also help them establish their own science and technology laboratory and medical aid station.”

"We want more people to feel the power of technology and the warmth of Qihang Technology."

In schools in impoverished areas, computers donated by Qihang Technology are neatly arranged in brand-new classrooms. Children sit around the computers, curiously touching these amazing devices.

"Wow, this is a computer! It's amazing!"

"I want to become a scientist like Uncle Lin Fan when I grow up!"

In hospitals in impoverished areas, medical equipment donated by Qihang Technology is helping doctors save lives.

"Thank you Qihang Technology! Your donation has saved many lives!"

"We will make good use of these devices to provide better medical services to more patients!"

Qihang Technology's public welfare initiatives have once again won praise from all sectors of society.

"Qihang Technology is truly a socially responsible company!"

"Their products are excellent, and their charitable work is also commendable! Such companies deserve our support!"

As the lawsuit progressed, Qihang Technology gradually gained the upper hand. The court demanded that its competitor provide evidence or face legal consequences.

"Gold-rimmed glasses, what else do you have to say?" Li Ming pressed aggressively in court.

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses looked ashen; he knew he had nowhere to retreat.

“We…we…” he stammered, unable to speak.

"Since you can't produce any evidence, then just wait to lose the case!" Li Ming said coldly.

Seeing that things were not going well, competitors began to secretly collude with other unscrupulous forces, attempting to plant spies within Qihang Technology to obtain trade secrets.

"Boss, I've already contacted the right people," the man with the gold-rimmed glasses reported in a low voice to the person on the other end of the phone. "As long as they can get their hands on Qihang Technology's core technology, we still have a chance to turn things around!"

"Very good." The voice on the other end of the phone was cold and smug. "This time, we will definitely bring Qihang Technology down completely!"

However, they underestimated Qihang Technology's security capabilities.

"Mr. Lin, we've discovered someone attempting to infiltrate the company's internal network!" the head of security reported to Lin Fan. "We've stopped them in time and traced their IP address."

"Well done!" Lin Fan said approvingly. "Strengthen internal security, and through technical means and personnel vetting, we must not allow any spies to take advantage of the situation!"

Security personnel used technical means to discover a spy lurking inside the company.

"That's him!" the security guard said, pointing to a man on the surveillance screen. "His recent behavior has been very suspicious; he frequently enters and exits the company's core departments."

"Take control of him immediately!" Lin Fan said decisively.

In a corner of the company, the spy was preparing to send out a confidential document. Suddenly, several security personnel rushed in and tackled him to the ground.

"What are you doing? Let me go!" the spy shouted in terror.

"You are suspected of stealing company secrets. Come with us!" the security guard said coldly.

"Name?"

"Zhang... Zhang Qiang."

"age?"

“3……32”.

In the interrogation room, the lights were stark white. Zhang Qiang had his head down, fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and his hands were handcuffed to the cold interrogation chair, trembling slightly.

"Do you know why we brought you here?" The officer in charge of the interrogation asked in a low voice, his eyes sharp as he stared intently at Zhang Qiang.

Zhang Qiang swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing, his eyes darting around. "I...I don't know..."

"Don't know?" The officer sneered, slamming his hand on the table with a loud bang that startled Zhang Qiang. "Zhang Qiang, you'd better confess! We have evidence that you stole Qihang Technology's trade secrets!"

As he spoke, the officer threw a stack of photos and a document in front of Zhang Qiang. The photos showed Zhang Qiang sneaking in and out of the core department of Qihang Technology, holding a USB drive in his hand; the document clearly recorded Zhang Qiang's contact records and financial transactions with his competitor, "Gold-rimmed Glasses".

"This...this..." Zhang Qiang's face turned ashen, his lips trembled, and he could no longer utter a complete sentence.

"Still trying to deny it?" the officer pressed, "This evidence is enough to prove that you were instructed to infiltrate Qihang Technology and steal confidential information! Tell me! Who instructed you!"

Zhang Qiang's mental defenses completely collapsed. He knew he could no longer hide it, and could only confess in a low voice, "It was...it was the gold-rimmed glasses...they...they made me..."

"Gold-rimmed glasses?" the officer pressed. "Who specifically contacted you? How did you make the deal? Tell me everything you know!"

Faced with overwhelming evidence, Zhang Qiang spilled the beans, recounting in detail how he was bribed by "Gold-rimmed Glasses," how he infiltrated Qihang Technology to steal secrets, and the details of his transaction with the other party.

The atmosphere in Lin Fan's office was heavy.

"Mr. Lin, we've investigated thoroughly." Li Ming handed Lin Fan an interrogation record. "This Zhang Qiang is indeed a spy sent by the man with the gold-rimmed glasses. He has confessed everything."

Lin Fan took the interrogation record, carefully read through it, and his face grew increasingly gloomy.
