"Fine! You said it!"
A hint of smugness flashed in Zhao Fei's eyes.
"But what if it's not a problem with Phytium Technology?"
"If it's not a problem with Phytium Technology..."
Lin Fan smiled slightly, "Then I'll kowtow to you three times in front of everyone!"
"Alright! It's a deal!" Zhao Fei laughed heartily. "Everyone heard that, Lin Fan, don't you dare go back on your word!"
"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond!" Lin Fan said coldly.
Zhao Fei waved his hand triumphantly, signaling the staff to come forward and inspect the equipment.
"Hmph, let's see how you make a fool of yourself!" Zhao Fei gloated from the side.
He had already arranged for people to tamper with Qihang Technology's equipment.
However, Zhao Fei did not expect that Lin Fan had anticipated his move.
"Wait!" Just as the Phytium Technology staff were about to take action, Lin Fan suddenly spoke up to stop them.
"What, Mr. Lin, are you scared?" Zhao Fei looked at Lin Fan with a mocking expression.
"Fear? I, Lin Fan, have never known what fear is!" Lin Fan sneered. "It's just that I don't trust the people at Feiteng Technology. I'm going to have a third-party organization inspect the equipment!"
"A third-party organization?" Zhao Fei's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected Lin Fan to make such a request.
"What, Mr. Zhao, are you afraid?" Lin Fan pressed on relentlessly.
"What's there to be afraid of?" Zhao Fei tried to remain calm. "But the people from the third-party organization can't come anytime soon!"
"No need for Mr. Zhao to trouble himself." Lin Fan smiled slightly, took out his phone, and dialed a number. "Hello, Director Wang, it's me, Lin Fan... Yes, I'm at the science and technology exhibition... Um, something came up... Okay, I'll wait for you."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Fan looked at Zhao Fei and said calmly, "I have already contacted Director Wang of the Municipal Bureau of Technical Supervision. He will be here soon."
Zhao Fei's face immediately turned ugly. He hadn't expected Lin Fan to actually bring people from the Technical Supervision Bureau!
"Hmph, you win!" Zhao Fei said through gritted teeth.
The atmosphere in the exhibition hall grew even more tense as they waited. All eyes were fixed on Lin Fan and Zhao Fei.
"This is going to be interesting!"
"I wonder who will win?"
"I think it's Phytium Technology; they came prepared!"
"Not necessarily, Lin Fan isn't someone to be trifled with!"
...
Various voices of discussion rose and fell among the crowd.
About half an hour later, a middle-aged man in uniform, with a burly build, entered the exhibition hall with several staff members.
"Director Wang, you've arrived." Lin Fan hurriedly went to greet him.
"President Lin, what's going on?" Director Wang asked.
"Director Wang, it's like this..." Lin Fan briefly recounted the events to Director Wang.
"Yes, I understand." Director Wang nodded, then looked at Zhao Fei, "Mr. Zhao, is there anything you'd like to say?"
"I...I have nothing to say." Zhao Fei's eyes darted around. "I believe Director Wang will handle this impartially."
"Okay." Director Wang nodded, then signaled to the staff to begin checking the equipment.
The inspection process was thorough and lengthy. Everyone's hearts were in their throats.
"Found it!" a staff member suddenly shouted. "A data cable here has been cut!"
"What?!"
"The data cable was cut?"
"What...what's going on?"
...
The crowd erupted in uproar.
"Zhao Fei, what else do you have to say?" Lin Fan looked at Zhao Fei coldly.
Zhao Fei's face had turned deathly pale. He knew he was completely finished this time!
"I...I don't know..." Zhao Fei was still trying to deny it, "Someone must be framing Phytium Technology!"
"Framed? Mr. Zhao, do you think anyone would believe that?" Lin Fan sneered. "The surveillance footage will prove everything!"
Zhao Fei's body went limp instantly. He knew he was finished.
"Lin Fan...I...I was wrong..." Zhao Fei lowered his head, his voice trembling, "I...I shouldn't have gone against you..."
"Now you know you were wrong? Too late!" Lin Fan said mercilessly, "I will pursue legal action against Phytium Technology!"
"No...no..." Zhao Fei pleaded desperately, "Lin Fan, please, let me go...I...I'll kowtow to you..."
As he spoke, Zhao Fei actually knelt down, preparing to kowtow to Lin Fan.
"No need," Lin Fan interrupted him coldly. "I don't accept your apology. You should save your energy for the police."
After saying that, Lin Fan turned and left the exhibition hall.
"President Lin, wait for me!" Ye Yuyan quickly chased after him.
In the exhibition hall, only Zhao Fei remained, kneeling on the ground, utterly dejected.
"Alas, you reap what you sow!"
"This is what happens when you go against Lin Fan!"
"Qihang Technology has narrowly escaped disaster this time!"
...
Amidst the crowd, a cacophony of voices engulfed Zhao Fei like a tidal wave.
The booth of Qihang Technology was in a mess. The once bright and beautiful booth now looked dilapidated.
However, this did not affect Qihang Technology's reputation. On the contrary, Qihang Technology's image has become even more impressive after this incident.
"Lin Fan, you're amazing!" Ye Yuyan looked at Lin Fan with admiration in her eyes. "How did you know they would make a move?"
“That’s not hard to guess.” Lin Fan smiled slightly. “Zhao Fei is a narrow-minded and vindictive person. He must be resentful to see how well Qihang Technology is developing. So, he will definitely try to create trouble for us.”
"Then how did you know they would tamper with the data cable?" Ye Yuyan continued to ask.
“That’s quite simple,” Lin Fan explained. “The most important part of a chip demonstration is data transmission. If there’s a problem with the data transmission, the entire demonstration will fail. So, the most likely place they would tamper with is the data cable.”
"I see." Ye Yuyan suddenly realized. "Lin Fan, you're so smart!"
"You flatter me," Lin Fan said modestly. "However, this incident has served as a wake-up call for us. We must strengthen our security measures to prevent similar incidents from happening again."
"Okay." Ye Yuyan nodded. "I will arrange for security to be strengthened."
Lin Fan and Ye Yuyan walked out of the exhibition hall side by side.
On the day of the engagement banquet, the sunlight shone on the manor, making it look as if it were plated with gold.
The Ye family villa was decorated in a festive and lively style, both inside and out.
Ye Zhengxiong was dressed in a sharp suit, his face glowing with health and full of energy.
He stood at the door, personally greeting the guests.
"Congratulations, Mr. Ye! What a fine son-in-law!"
