"'Morning Star xtreme' is our best choice!"

Orders came in one after another.

"Our international market is expanding rapidly!"

Qihang Technology's overseas market manager reported to Lin Fan.

"Very good!" Lin Fan nodded slightly. "We must make 'Morning Star' shine across the globe!"

"What to do? What to do?"

The CEO of Alpha Technologies is in a terrible predicament.

Our stock has hit its daily limit down!

"Our products are not selling!"

"Our reputation is completely ruined!"

Bad news, one after another.

"We must find a way to turn things around!"

The CEO of Alpha Technologies was unwilling to accept defeat.

"Increase investment in research and development! Develop new products!" he roared.

But... but...

The head of the R&D department looked bitter.

"Our technology is far behind!"

"We can't catch up with Qihang Technology at all!"

Moreover,

"We're having internal problems too!"

"Someone has leaked our research and development plans!"

The CEO of Alpha Technologies suddenly went black.

Both Beta Corporation and Gamma Group are having a tough time.

"We've been ripped off by 'Alpha Technology'!"

The CEO of "Beta Corporation" was devastated.

"We are now like rats crossing the street, hated and beaten by everyone!"

The CEO of Gamma Group sighed and lamented.

Internal strife has begun.

"It's all your fault!"

"Your terrible idea has ruined us!"

"Bullshit! It's clearly you who are greedy and insatiable!"

They blamed each other and shifted responsibility.

Companies like Alpha Technologies fell apart.

"'Morning Star xtreme' is just the beginning."

In Qihang Technology's R&D laboratory, Lin Fan spoke to the R&D team.

"We must continue our efforts to develop more advanced and powerful chips!"

"We want to lead the trend in the entire industry!"

The members of the R&D team were all incredibly excited.

"President Lin, please rest assured!"

"We will certainly live up to everyone's expectations!"

"We are developing the next generation of chips!"

"Its performance will be several times that of 'Morning Star Xtreme'!"

"It will be named, 'Morning Star Nova'!"

"Nova, the rising star!"

"It will be the most dazzling new star in the chip industry!"

The head of the R&D team is full of confidence.

"Good! Very good!" Lin Fan's eyes gleamed. "I believe in you!"

"'Morning Star Nova' will be our next miracle!"

"What? The bank has suddenly tightened its lending to us?"

Lin Fan suddenly stood up from his chair, his brows furrowed.

"Yes, Mr. Lin." The CFO said with a grave expression, "Several major partner banks have postponed loan disbursements for various reasons, and one of them even... directly demanded that we repay part of the loan in advance!"

"That's impossible!" Lin Fan said firmly. "Our financial situation has always been very healthy, with ample cash flow and no risk of default. What gives them the right to do this?"

“They…they said they received instructions from above.” The CFO’s voice trembled slightly. “They don’t know the specific reasons.”

"Higher up?" Lin Fan's eyes sharpened. "Which higher up?"

The CFO hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

"Investigate! Find out the truth!" Lin Fan slammed his fist on the table. "Which link in the chain went wrong?!"

...

"President Lin, something terrible has happened!" The public relations manager rushed into the office. "A lot of negative news about our 'Morning Star' chip has suddenly appeared online!"

"What negative news?" Lin Fan's heart sank.

"They said our chips have serious quality problems, are prone to overheating, crashing, and even... even causing the equipment to explode!" The public relations manager's voice was trembling.

"Bullshit!" Lin Fan roared. "Our 'Morning Star' series chips have undergone rigorous testing, and their performance is stable and their quality is reliable. How could they have these problems?"

"But...but now it's spread online, and many consumers are starting to question our products, and some are even...some are even demanding refunds!" The public relations manager was sweating profusely.

"Release a statement immediately! Clarify the facts!" Lin Fan suppressed his anger. "Put our test reports and customer reviews all online! Let everyone see what the truth is!"

"Yes! Yes! I'll get right on it!" The public relations manager scrambled out of the room.

...

"The cash flow is being secretly pressured, and the product is being maliciously rumored against..." Lin Fan sat in his office, his fingers lightly tapping the table. "This is definitely not a coincidence!"

"Someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes!"

"Moreover, this person has a lot of power!"

He closed his eyes, and a series of possible suspects flashed through his mind.

Who could it be?

"Alpha Technologies? Beta Corporation? Gamma Group?"

"They have already lost; they don't have the ability."

"That is..."

Suddenly, a name flashed through his mind like lightning.

"The Su family!"

...

"Yueyue, how's your internship going?" Lin Fan dialed Lin Yue's number.

"It's great, brother." Lin Yue's voice sounded relaxed. "I've learned a lot."

"Did you encounter any strange people or strange things?" Lin Fan asked tentatively.

"A strange person?" Lin Yue thought for a moment, "It seems...it seems there is one."

"Who?" Lin Fan's heart jumped.

“A new intern in our department named Su Ming,” Lin Yue said. “He…he always asks me questions about the company’s core technologies, and…he often treats me to meals and movies.”

"Su Ming?" Lin Fan's eyes instantly turned icy. "Is he a member of the Su family?"

"Brother, how did you know?" Lin Yue's voice was somewhat surprised.

"It really was them!" Lin Fan took a deep breath. "Yueyue, listen to me, stay away from Su Ming from now on, and don't tell him anything about the company!"

"Okay, I understand, brother," Lin Yue replied obediently.

...

"Mr. Lin, we've found it!" The assistant rushed into the office. "There is indeed someone in our company who is colluding with the Su family!"

"Who?" A cold glint flashed in Lin Fan's eyes.

"It's...it's Wang Qiang, the deputy director of the marketing department!" The assistant's voice trembled slightly.

"Wang Qiang?" Lin Fan clenched his fist tightly. "What is his relationship with the Su family?"

“Wang Qiang’s wife is a daughter from a collateral branch of the Su family,” the assistant replied. “They…they have a lot of financial dealings.”

"Good! Very good!" A cold smile appeared on Lin Fan's face. "I've finally caught you!"

"Prepare all the evidence. I'm going to make this traitor and the Su family pay a heavy price!"

...

"Wang Qiang, do you have anything to explain?"

Lin Fan sat in the main seat of the conference room, coldly looking at Wang Qiang.

Wang Qiang was pale and sweating profusely.

"Mr. Lin... I... I don't know what you're talking about."

"Don't know?" Lin Fan sneered, throwing a stack of documents in front of Wang Qiang. "These are the records of your and your wife's financial transactions with the Su family, and... evidence that you leaked company secrets to the Su family!"

Wang Qiang's body trembled violently, and he slumped into the chair.

"How...how did you know?"
