On Sunday afternoon, Jiang Xiaoli and Zong Jia had just finished watching a movie and were about to go out for dinner when Song Guoqiang called.
"President Jiang, if my judgment is correct, it seems I have guessed what Zhao Yuanfang is planning to do next."
Jiang Xiaoli's expression hardened. "Brother Song, let's meet and talk when we get to the company."
After hanging up the phone, Zong Jiayu looked at her expression and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
She took Zong Jiayu's arm and said, "Let's grab a bite at the company cafeteria. Brother Song has news about Zhao Yuanfang."
The three of them arrived at the company around the same time, and instead of going to the office, they ate and chatted in a small private room in the cafeteria.
Song Guoqiang looked at Zong Jiayu, "Boss Zong, are you aware that 'Changliao' is getting a new version update next Wednesday?"
Zong Jia nodded, "I know, but it seems to be just simple product optimization."
"Yes and no," Song Guoqiang shook his head. "According to my information, the new version release conference for 'Changliao' will focus on the technological innovations of 'Changliao'."
"Technological innovation?" Zong Jia frowned. "What major changes can be considered technological innovation?"
Jiang Xiaoli urged, "Brother Song, stop keeping me in suspense and just tell me!"
Song Guoqiang began, "I can't guarantee the accuracy of this news, but I think it's highly credible. 'Changliao' has reportedly strengthened some kind of information encryption technology to better protect users' chat privacy."
Zong Jia hesitated for two seconds, then asked, "You mean they'll use this to undermine our 'SOSO' and climb to the top?"
Jiang Xiaoli said bitterly, "Once this door is opened and 'SOSO' is labeled as unsafe, we'll lose a lot of users, and 'Changliao' will be able to take advantage of the situation."
Song Guoqiang asked, "Boss Zong, I don't understand these technologies. How well does 'SOSO' actually do in this regard? I suspect they might even hire hackers to attack 'SOSO's' servers to confirm this rumor. If customer privacy data is indeed leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Zong Jia tapped his fingers lightly on the table a few times, recalling the entire structure of "SOSO".
"I think SOSO's security measures are quite good. Just to be on the safe side, I'll have someone come back and do a thorough check."
Jiang Xiaoli made the decision, "Hurry up, we need to fix ourselves before 'Changliao' starts smearing us. Ayu, you go ahead and get busy, I'll handle the public relations."
Zong Jia nodded, "I'll go up first."
Now that only the two of them were left in the private room, Jiang Xiaoli asked, "Brother Song, you shouldn't have only found 'Chat', right?"
Song Guoqiang chuckled lightly, "President Jiang, you really understand me better and better now."
He took an envelope out of his bag and handed it to her. "You should be very interested in this."
Jiang Xiaoli opened the envelope, and several photos fell out.
The entire video consists of Zhao Yuanfang criticizing Zhao Zhen'an.
There's even one photo that clearly shows Zhao Yuanfang slapping Zhao Zhen'an.
She was astonished. "Brother Song, what about this father and son?"
Song Guoqiang nodded. "During this period of time, I have noticed that Zhao Yuanfang and his son Zhao Zhen'an are not on good terms, specifically in terms of their differing philosophies."
He took a sip of soup and explained, "The Zhao family's big backer is about to step down, and the infrastructure, medical and mining development projects that 'Huaxin Group' received last year have started to shrink. This is also why Zhao Yuanfang cares so much about 'Yujia Technology'."
However, Zhao Zhen'an held a different view from his father. He believed that even without government projects, with China's rapid development, the "Huaxin Group" could easily survive by simply shifting its focus to areas it excels in, such as developing residential real estate projects or building private hospitals.
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoli nodded. "Zhao Zhenan's thinking is correct."
"Unfortunately, he is not yet the person in charge of 'Huaxin Group'," Song Guoqiang pointed out incisively.
He continued, "Perhaps as next year approaches, Zhao Yuanfang is becoming increasingly anxious. He is eager to switch to a new investment field, and the differences between the father and son are growing."
Jiang Xiaoli raised an eyebrow. "But they are father and son after all."
Song Guoqiang laughed, "President Jiang, throughout history, how many people have tried to seize power, money, and status to usurp the throne?"
"Haha," she chuckled. "This is a new society. He's partnering with his father's rival. Even if he takes over 'Huaxin Group,' he'll have a hard time establishing himself in the company. There are still so many old shareholders."
Song Guoqiang shrugged. "President Jiang, I'm just proposing this plan based on my investigation. Whether to use it and how to use it will be up to you and Boss Zong to discuss and decide."
Jiang Xiaoli smiled, "That's true, thanks, Brother Song."
"I'll include all the thanks in my year-end bonus."
"no problem!"
After Song Guoqiang left, Jiang Xiaoli stayed alone in a small private room in the cafeteria for a long time.
Zong Jiayu was busy with "SOSO" matters, so she drove to the Kyoto University faculty and staff quarters.
"Professor Tan, we have a job to do!"
Tan Xuanyi had just finished eating and was sitting alone in the living room. He asked, somewhat displeased, "What kind of work has come up?"
Jiang Xiaoli raised her chin. "Shall we go to the study and talk about it slowly?"
Tan Xuanyi pouted, "Ever since my wife started earning money from scripts, where would I have a study? The great screenwriter Ran is creating his masterpiece in his study!"
Ran Hui came out when she heard the noise, and greeted Jiang Xiaoli warmly, "Oh, it's Xiaoli! Have you eaten yet?"
Jiang Xiaoli nodded quickly, "I've eaten, I've eaten. I have something to ask Professor Tan about at the company."
Ran Hui glanced at Tan Xuanyi and said with a smile, "Hehe, this old man is angry with me because he thinks I'm taking up the study! Alright, Xiao Li is here, the study is yours today!"
Tan Xuanyi was finally pleased. He got up, took his teacup, and headed towards the study. On the way, he didn't forget to scold Jiang Xiaoli, "Hurry up! Can't you wait until Monday to come see me? Why are you dawdling like this?"
