The loud explosion caused an uproar at the scene.
Soon, the automatic fire extinguishers on the roof sprayed out a large amount of foam.
The fire was extinguished, leaving only a pile of charred ashes on the workbench.
The person from the company in the central region had a helpless expression on their face.
Meanwhile, the vice president of MS Company stood aside and whispered to one of them.
"Go quickly and see what happened. How could the battery suddenly explode?"
The other person quickly nodded and went over.
Meanwhile, the judges in the middle began to analyze the cause of the explosion in various ways.
After some testing, it was discovered that the explosion was not caused by unstable current, but by a problem with the battery.
The team members who had been dispatched over there returned to MS, and the company's vice president whispered back in his ear.
"It has just been confirmed that the traces at the scene indicate that the problem lies with the product equipment and is not related to the local current."
After hearing this, the vice president immediately showed a look of astonishment.
"How could something possibly explode out of the blue? We've tested it so many times."
The other person looked up at the vice president and said in a low voice.
“Our product stability has never been very high. Spontaneous combustion has occurred during the initial testing. Although this explosion is the first time, it is almost the same as spontaneous combustion.”
After hearing this, the vice president's face immediately showed a hint of displeasure.
"What do you mean? You're saying our product is bad, and you're slandering it?"
The other person sighed.
"You know what it is like in your heart, there's no need for us to keep it a secret from each other."
The vice president gritted his teeth.
"Forget it, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to go talk to the president about this. You stay here and maintain order."
After finishing his speech, the vice president hurried back to their competition area.
MS Corporation, however, sat in its luxurious offices, waiting for good news to arrive.
At that moment, the phone on the table suddenly rang. After listening to it, the president showed a smug expression and said to a young woman next to him.
"Xiaoqian, believe it or not, ever since that phone call, our company has been completely guaranteed to win this competition."
The young girl gently covered her mouth and smiled.
"Why are you so sure, Mr. Hou? What if it's not true?"
A cryptic smile appeared on the fat CEO's face.
"In that case, how about we have a competition? If I win, you can stay in my private room tonight, how about that?"
The girl called Xiaoqian rolled her eyes dismissively.
"President Hou really knows how to take advantage of people. What if he loses?"
After hearing this, President Hou burst into laughter.
"Haha, Xiaoqian, why aren't you interested in our company's products? You've seen for yourself how good the quality of our MS company's products is, so why would you doubt it?"
Xiaoqian rolled her eyes and continued.
"Then what are you betting with me about? You haven't even finished your studies, so what's the point of betting?"
Mr. Hou laughed heartily, then subtly moved closer to the other party.
"Then tell me what to bet on. Anything I have here, I'll let you gamble on."
Xiaoqian pinched her fair chin and pondered for a moment.
"Since we're going to gamble, let's make it a fair bet. Mr. Hou is interested in tonight, so how about if Mr. Hou loses, he takes a stroll around my father's company?"
Mr. Hou chuckled and gently pinched the other person's chin.
"Little girl, it seems you really are very considerate. You immediately understood what I was thinking."
Xiaoqian wasn't angry after being teased by the other person; she gently opened his hand.
"Then it's settled, no take-backs allowed."
Just as the two were chatting, the phone rang and hung up.
The vice president on the other end of the phone was furious and looked rather annoyed.
"What's going on? I've been calling for so long and he still hasn't answered. He must be out fooling around with some woman again."
After saying that, he dialed the president's number again, but this time the call was answered immediately.
"Xiao Sun, what's up with the call?"
The president's voice carried a hint of a smile, indicating that he was in a very pleasant mood.
However, the vice president's voice was indeed not as loud as usual.
"The CEO is in trouble. The smaller company lost the competition. Our No. 0 battery malfunctioned and exploded on site."
After hearing this, President Hou showed a look of astonishment on his face.
"What's going on? You said the No. 0 battery exploded? How is that possible? Didn't you say this battery was extremely stable?"
At this point, the vice president naturally wouldn't hide anything from the other party anymore, because he would always have to take the blame later.
He needs to explain the situation and tell the other party about the pros and cons in advance, so that he can extricate himself from the situation.
After all, he had embezzled a significant portion of the large sums of money needed to develop the No. 0 battery.
If the other party investigates, I certainly won't be able to escape.
"That's right. Although the battery's stability is already very high, there will always be a margin of error, which is normal."
President Hou, being a boss for so long, naturally sensed something was off from the other person's tone.
