"Damn Lin Fan! He's still standing!"
Su Ming slammed the wine glass in his hand against the wall, the crimson liquid splattering everywhere, just like his twisted heart at that moment.
"Qihang Technology...Qihang Technology..."
He repeated the name through gritted teeth, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with resentment and unwillingness.
"President Su, please calm down."
Secretary Zhang carefully stepped forward and handed over a damp towel.
"Qihang Technology has recovered somewhat, but we are not without opportunities."
Secretary Zhang spoke softly, afraid of angering the enraged Su Ming.
"Opportunity? Tell me, what other opportunities are there?!"
Su Ming suddenly turned around, his eyes bloodshot, staring intently at Secretary Zhang.
"Public opinion has reversed, consumers are starting to buy into their products again, and the stock price has begun to recover... What chance do I have left?!"
His voice was hoarse, carrying an almost desperate madness.
"President Su, you forgot, we still have a backup plan."
Secretary Zhang lowered his voice and said mysteriously.
"If we operate properly, we can definitely make sure that Qihang Technology can never recover!"
A sinister glint flashed in his eyes.
"A backup plan? What backup plan?!"
A glimmer of hope rekindled in Su Ming's eyes.
He pressed for an answer.
"Do you remember those... overseas 'friends' we contacted before?"
Secretary Zhang leaned close to Su Ming's ear and whispered something.
"They are 'very interested' in Qihang Technology's technology..."
He deliberately emphasized the words "very interested," which was quite meaningful.
"You mean..."
Su Ming's eyes lit up instantly.
He understood what Secretary Zhang meant.
"That's right!"
Secretary Zhang nodded.
"We can use them to create even more trouble for Qihang Technology!"
"This time, we're going to make Qihang Technology infamous on the international stage!"
His voice was full of ulterior motives.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Su Ming said "good" three times in a row, and the gloom on his face disappeared.
"Secretary Zhang, I'm leaving this matter to you!"
"I'm going to teach Lin Fan what it feels like to be 'besieged on all sides'!"
His voice regained its previous arrogance and haughtiness.
He could almost see Lin Fan and Qihang Technology completely collapse before his eyes.
Over the next few days, Su Ming and Secretary Zhang secretly made a series of contacts and transactions with those illegal foreign businessmen.
They reached a dirty deal: Su Ming would provide funding and intelligence, while those unscrupulous foreign businessmen would be responsible for smearing and suppressing Qihang Technology internationally.
They want to use international public opinion to put pressure on Qihang Technology, making it impossible for Qihang Technology's products to be sold globally.
"Lin Fan, don't you like technological innovation?"
Su Ming looked out the window and said with a cold smile.
"I'll show you what a 'technological barrier' really tastes like!"
"I will make it impossible for you to move an inch in the international market!"
His voice was full of smugness and pleasure.
Soon, some international media outlets began to publish negative reports about Qihang Technology.
These reports, without exception, all pointed the finger at Qihang Technology's product safety issues.
They claim that Qihang Technology's products have serious security vulnerabilities that threaten the information security of users worldwide.
These reports have no factual basis whatsoever and are purely fabricated.
However, they caused a huge uproar internationally.
Consumers in many countries have begun to question and worry about Qihang Technology's products.
Qihang Technology's overseas markets have been severely affected.
"Mr. Lin, something terrible has happened!"
Li Ming, the public relations director, rushed into Lin Fan's office.
"Internationally, there have been many negative reports about our company's products!"
"They said our product has security vulnerabilities and threatens the information security of users worldwide!"
Li Ming's voice was filled with anxiety and worry.
"What?!"
Lin Fan suddenly stood up from his seat.
He took the documents from Li Ming and quickly scanned them.
"This is completely fabricated!"
Lin Fan's brows furrowed, and his face turned ashen.
"These reports have no factual basis whatsoever; they are pure slander!"
"It must be Su Ming who's behind this!"
His voice was filled with anger.
He immediately realized that this was Su Ming using international public opinion to attack Qihang Technology.
"President Lin, what should we do now?"
Li Ming asked anxiously.
"We must take immediate action to eliminate the impact of these negative reports!"
"Otherwise, our overseas markets will suffer huge losses!"
His voice was filled with worry.
"Notify the public relations department to hold a press conference immediately!"
Lin Fan said decisively.
"We must clarify the facts to the world and expose the conspiracy behind these reports!"
"We want consumers all over the world to believe that our products are safe!"
His voice was resolute and unwavering.
He has decided to respond to these unfounded accusations with the strongest possible stance.
Meanwhile, some unusual things also happened within Qihang Technology.
Some important data from the R&D center suddenly disappeared.
Some technical documents were also deliberately modified and destroyed.
These anomalies alerted Wang Wei, the technical director.
"President Lin, there might be a 'mole' within our ranks!"
Wang Wei said to Lin Fan with a solemn expression.
"Someone is sabotaging our research and development work!"
"Moreover, this person is extremely knowledgeable about our technology!"
His voice was filled with worry.
"A mole?!"
A cold glint flashed in Lin Fan's eyes.
He immediately realized that someone was working with Su Ming to sabotage Qihang Technology from within.
"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly!"
Lin Fan's voice was cold and stern.
"We must find this 'traitor'!"
"No matter who he is, I will make him pay the price!"
His voice was filled with murderous intent.
He would never allow anyone to sabotage Qihang Technology's research and development efforts.
Wang Wei immediately organized a technical team to launch an internal investigation.
They conducted a comprehensive inspection of the company's network system and database using technical means.
They also conducted background checks and behavioral analyses on all employees.
After a tense investigation, they finally identified a suspect.
This person is an engineer at the research and development center named Zhao Kai.
Zhao Kai has worked at Qihang Technology for many years and has always performed averagely without any abnormalities.
But recently, he has suddenly become somewhat mysterious.
He often works overtime alone until late at night, and he also frequently goes to places he shouldn't be.
"Zhao Kai, why did you do this?!"
Lin Fan looked at Zhao Kai, who had been brought to the office, and asked coldly.
His eyes were filled with disappointment and anger.
He never imagined that the one who betrayed Qihang Technology would be an employee he once trusted.
"Mr. Lin, I...I..."
Zhao Kai lowered his head, not daring to look Lin Fan in the eye.
His body trembled slightly.
"Speak! Who ordered you to do this?!"
Lin Fan's voice rose eight octaves.
He demanded an answer in a stern voice.
"It's...it's Su Ming!"
Zhao Kai finally raised his head, his eyes filled with fear and regret.
"He gave me a sum of money and asked me to... to sabotage the company's research and development data..."
"He also asked me to...steal the company's latest technological achievements..."
His voice grew softer and softer.
"Su Ming! It's Su Ming again!"
Lin Fan clenched his fists tightly.
His eyes burned with raging fury.
"Do you even realize how much damage your actions will cause the company?!"
Lin Fan's voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth.
"Have you lived up to the company's expectations of you?!"
"Did you betray the trust I placed in you?!"
His voice was filled with heartache and disappointment.
"President Lin, I was wrong... I was really wrong..."
Zhao Kai knelt down in front of Lin Fan, weeping bitterly.
"I was confused for a moment and was used by Su Ming..."
"I am willing to accept any punishment from the company..."
His voice was filled with regret.
"Hand him over to the police!"
Lin Fan took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart.
He said coldly.
"We must hold him accountable under the law!"
"At the same time, we must also pursue Su Ming's legal responsibility!"
"He has sabotaged our company time and time again, and we can no longer tolerate him!"
His voice was resolute and unwavering.
He has decided to use legal means to protect Qihang Technology's interests.
Zhao Kai was taken away by the police, and he will face severe legal punishment.
Qihang Technology also quickly took remedial measures.
They recovered the corrupted data.
They also comprehensively upgraded the company's security measures.
"This incident has served as a wake-up call for us."
Lin Fan said seriously at an internal company meeting.
"We must guard against not only external enemies, but also internal 'traitors'."
"We need to strengthen the company's security measures and improve the employee background check system."
"We must ensure that something like this never happens again!"
