"Ye Yuyan, do you really believe Lin Fan's explanation?" Netizens turned their criticism towards Ye Yuyan.

“I believe,” Ye Yuyan said firmly. “I believe in Lin Fan, just as I believe in myself.”

"However, there are many negative messages about you online, saying that your marriage is for mutual benefit and that you have no feelings for each other at all..."

"Those are all rumors!" Ye Yuyan raised her voice. "Lin Fan and I came together because of love! Our relationship can withstand any test!"

Lin Fan and Ye Yuyan's sincerity touched many netizens.

"I believe them! They really seem to be in love!"

"Lin Fan is a good brother! He would give up everything for his sister!"

"Ye Yuyan is also a good woman! She has always supported Lin Fan and never abandoned him!"

...

Public opinion began to shift gradually.

At Phytium Technology's headquarters, Zhao Fei was looking smugly at the sales figures for the "Polaris" chip.

"Haha! 'Polaris' is selling like hotcakes! Qihang Technology, what can you do against me?" Zhao Fei laughed heartily. "Keep up the advertising! I'm going to make 'Polaris' the undisputed king of the chip market!"

"Mr. Zhao, our cash flow is very tight..." the CFO cautiously reminded him.

"What's there to be afraid of? As long as 'Polaris' can defeat 'Morning Star,' we can get funding, and then we'll have as much money as we want," Zhao Fei said dismissively.

At Qihang Technology, Lin Fan is calling a meeting with all employees.

"Brothers, I know you've all been working very hard lately, and the company is facing great difficulties," Lin Fan's voice was a little hoarse. "But we can't give up! 'Morning Star' is our last hope!"

"President Lin, we're not afraid of hardship! We support you!" an employee shouted.

"Yes! We're not afraid of hardship! We'll live and die with the company!" Other employees echoed.

“But…our wages…” a young employee said softly.

"Salary?" Lin Fan was stunned for a moment before he remembered that the company had been in arrears with its employees' salaries for a month.

"I'm sorry, brothers, I'm so sorry!" Lin Fan's eyes welled up with tears. "I promise, once 'Morning Star' goes public, I will definitely make up for everyone's wages!"

"Mr. Lin, no need!" A long-time employee stood up. "We trust you! We are willing to weather this storm together with the company!"

"Yes! We are willing to weather this storm together with the company!"

"We voluntarily postpone receiving our wages!"

"We believe that 'Morning Star' will definitely succeed!"

...

The voices of the employees converged into a powerful force that deeply moved Lin Fan.

"Thank you everyone! Thank you everyone!" Lin Fan's voice choked with emotion. "I, Lin Fan, am so grateful to have brothers like you in this life! It's all worth it!"

"Charge! Brothers!"

Lin Fan stood in Qihang Technology's R&D center, his eyes burning with fierce fire, his voice hoarse yet full of power, like a wounded lion roaring. Before him stood a group of engineers, equally exhausted, but with the same light shining in their eyes.

"'Morning Star' is our last hope! It is also our only chance to fight back! We cannot back down, and we cannot fail!"

His fists were clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, as if he wanted to crush all the pressure and resentment.

"We have no way out!" Lin Fan's voice was deep and powerful, each word like a nail, striking everyone's heart hard. "Feiteng Technology, Zhao Fei, they stole our technology and trampled on our dignity! They think they can defeat us like this? They're dreaming!"

He suddenly waved his hand, like a general commanding a vast army: "Now, I order you all to enter Level One combat readiness! At all costs, accelerate the research and development process! We must make 'Morning Star' shine with the most dazzling light in the shortest possible time!"

"Yes, Mr. Lin!" the engineers shouted in unison, their voices deafening, as if they were about to overturn the entire R&D center.

"We will never admit defeat!"

"We want to make 'Morning Star' a legend!"

"Kill Feiteng Technology!"

Various slogans rose and fell, converging into a powerful torrent that echoed throughout the research and development center.

The engineers, like a group of tireless machines, frantically typed on their keyboards, lines of code flowing rapidly across the screen like a waterfall. Their eyes were bloodshot, their faces etched with exhaustion, but their fingers remained nimble and powerful, as if possessing inexhaustible energy.

Lin Fan wasn't idle either. He moved among the engineers, sometimes offering guidance, sometimes encouraging them, and sometimes helping them solve problems. His brain was like a high-speed computer, rapidly analyzing various data and searching for the best solution.

His shirt was soaked with sweat, clinging tightly to his body and outlining his lean, powerful physique. His hair was disheveled, his beard unkempt, and he looked utterly wretched, but he didn't seem to care.

He knew that now, every minute and every second was crucial.

Time is flying by.

One day, two days, three days...

The development of the "Morning Star" chip is progressing at an astonishing pace.

One technical challenge after another was overcome; one technical target after another was achieved.

"President Lin, the core module test passed!" an engineer shouted excitedly.

"General Manager Lin, the image processing unit's performance meets the standards!" another engineer excitedly reported.

"President Lin, the overall power consumption is within the expected range!"

Good news kept coming in, like a shot of adrenaline, injecting everyone into their bodies and filling them with even more fighting spirit.

"Great!" A smile finally appeared on Lin Fan's face, but his eyes remained firm. "Keep up the good work! We're only one step away from success!"

The legal department of Qihang Technology was brightly lit.

The legal department staff, like a pack of hunting dogs, were meticulously searching for every possible clue. Their desks were piled high with all sorts of documents and materials, like small mountains.

"Found it!" a young lawyer suddenly shouted excitedly, "I've found crucial evidence that Phytium Technology stole 'Morning Star' technology!"

He held up a document in his hand and said excitedly, "This is the internal email record of Phytium Technology! It clearly shows that Zhao Fei repeatedly instructed his subordinates to obtain Qihang Technology's 'Morning Star' chip technology information through various means!"

"Great!" The legal manager slammed his hand on the table excitedly. "Now we have enough evidence to sue Phytium Technology!"

He immediately picked up the phone and dialed Lin Fan's number: "Mr. Lin, we've found crucial evidence that Phytium Technology stole 'Morning Star' technology! We can sue them now!"

"Good! Well done!" Lin Fan's voice was full of praise. "Prepare the indictment materials immediately! We'll make Phytium Technology pay a heavy price!"
