Chapter 71 Press Conference
Chi Yuan went to the outer office to take a look.
Everyone in the department left work on time, and the office was now very quiet.
She heard that more and more companies have started to work overtime recently. However, due to the crisis encountered by Chi's company some time ago, the workload was not large and there was no need for overtime.
Qi Wang's company is on the rise, and he doesn't even ask his employees to work overtime.
However, he often works overtime himself, and his requirement for employees is that they can voluntarily work online and have overtime pay calculated based on workload.
She thought Qi Wang would become an excellent leader.
"Since you're not off work, go eat something first. We'll keep an eye on it together later."
He Yuanshan tapped away occasionally, "Tonight's troubles are indeed greater than the past few days. The people at Yun'an Technology should be getting anxious."
Chi Yuan said nonchalantly, "The employees probably aren't worried. It's their boss and Lin Xiao who are worried."
After all, employees are just doing their job for money, so it is understandable that they cannot find loopholes in the search engine.
I’m afraid they can’t even find out about those two, otherwise why would they be so anxious to attack their computers?
It is almost impossible to crack the final version of the search engine.
"Even a rabbit bites when it's cornered. There's no guarantee those two won't act impulsively."
He Yuanshan shook his head and changed his words: "There are instant noodles in the tea room. Don't go downstairs tonight, just to be safe."
That’s true.
After quickly finishing the instant noodles, Chi Yuan received a call from Qi Wang.
It was almost nine o'clock in the evening.
It just so happened that she also wanted to know what he was doing back at the old house.
When she answered the video call, Chi Yuan was processing her instant noodle bucket.
"Is this what you're having for dinner?"
His dissatisfaction could be sensed through the screen.
"You don't even eat instant noodles when you're in a hurry."
She poured out the soup separately before throwing the instant noodle bucket into the trash can.
"Why are you calling so late?"
It can be seen that the man in the video has returned to the bedroom.
But why is his brow furrowed so deeply?
"It depends on where you stay tonight."
His tone seemed somewhat helpless: "So you're actually working overtime?"
"Tomorrow is the press conference. We can't let our guard down tonight. If someone takes advantage of us, the Chi family will be finished."
If this was just an ordinary project, she might not have to be so anxious.
"He Yuanshan can do it alone. You know his strength best."
Chi Yuan always felt that this was strange.
"But this is a project for both of us, and I have a responsibility to stay."
Is it necessary to argue about right and wrong in such a small matter?
Chi Yuan didn't want to continue this topic with him, so he asked, "What about you? Why did you suddenly come back to the old house? Did Grandpa want to see you for something?"
"Grandpa will be at the press conference tomorrow. He originally wanted me to take you back to the old house."
Qi Wang's expression darkened: "Grandpa already knows about your competition with Lin Xiao."
"What?" Chi Yuan also became serious: "Grandpa asked you?"
Mr. Qi shouldn't know so much.
"It's Qi Yu." Qi Wang smiled meaningfully. "Tomorrow will be very lively. You'd better get enough rest tonight. With so many people staring at you, don't embarrass me."
The content of their conversation was normal... except for his last sentence.
"What does it have to do with you? Even the shame has nothing to do with you."
Chi Yuan couldn't help but murmur, "Don't worry, even if I fail, this matter has nothing to do with your Qi family."
He must be worried about the Qi family.
After all, Mr. Qi was present and invested money in the project, showing his support for her.
If she failed, it would be an indirect slap in the face of the Qi family.
Qi Wang raised his eyes slightly, and there seemed to be a layer of mist in his eyes.
"You think so?"
Am I wrong?
Chi Yuan frowned and asked, "Is there a problem? I am solely responsible for my own actions. My failure has nothing to do with you, the Qi family, or any of our partners."
It's not a disgrace to him.
After failing, it was she and Chi who were accused of patent plagiarism.
Of course, she would never let that happen.
Qi Wang raised the corners of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes.
"You are my wife. If you do something wrong, it will affect my reputation."
Chi Yuan's breath was caught in his throat, and his temples throbbed twice: "Why do I feel like you're being a scoundrel?"
But she had no evidence.
"Hmm? Am I wrong?" Qi Wang snorted coldly: "Husband and wife are one, aren't they? When you are pushed to the forefront, I will naturally be pushed out for criticism as well. Besides, many people have been targeting me recently."
Chi Yuan could not refute this point.
She found out from the online public opinion these days.
Most people were discussing the past and present of Yun'an Technology, but some people took the opportunity to take advantage of the popularity and wanted to dig into her and Qi Wang's private affairs.
The most talked about topics were Qi Wang's identity as an illegitimate child and her ambiguous relationship with Qi Ye back then.
Qi Wang hid it very well. Apart from the fact that he was an illegitimate child, which was easily criticized, there was really nothing else to say.
Because he was protected too well in the past, there was nothing he could do to expose his negative information.
If she fails to handle the patent plagiarism issue perfectly, Chi Yuan's name will be labeled as a plagiarist, and it will be difficult for her to turn things around.
It's ridiculous to think that she wants to prove something she didn't do.
"Okay, I get it. I won't embarrass you."
Chi Yuan responded silently, and suddenly felt that the moon tonight was not beautiful at all.
"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first. I have to get busy."
Qi Wang responded indifferently, as if he didn't care about her.
After returning to the office, Chi Yuan still had a gloomy face, and He Yuanshan immediately realized that something was wrong.
"I made you angry again." He tried to probe: "Why don't you just get a divorce? You always quarrel, maybe you two are not suitable for each other."
Chi Yuan raised his eyes and quickly returned his gaze to the computer screen: "Let's talk about it later. Now I can't leave even if I want to."
"No way, Yuanyuan, have you forgotten what Mr. Bai said, that he can help you? You've been angry every other day. It's not good for your health, among other things. Frequent anger can easily lead to breast nodules..."
"Shut up!"
Chi Yuan rubbed his brows and took a long breath: "H, I'm not in the mood to joke with you right now. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
How could a divorce be that easy? Even if they all agreed, Mr. Qi would not agree.
Qi Wang would not do anything that would bring trouble to himself.
The relationship between the two that has not yet been sorted out is not worth mentioning in the face of these things.
In the early hours of that night, Chi Yuan still took a nap for four hours.
The press conference was held at 10 a.m.
She and He Yuanshan rushed to the scene in advance, and the public relations department was already busy.
Reporters were already waiting on the side, ready to interview at any time.
Mr. Bai and his family have already arrived in the audience seats.
Bai Qingcheng smiled at her, and Chi Yuan's anxious heart calmed down unconsciously.
When everything was ready, more and more people gathered around, and the Qi family also arrived.
However, Qi Wang did not come with Old Man Qi.
