Chapter 302: Chapter 302: Listen to the Difference in These Titles

Xiang Shihong was startled, then his face turned serious, and he slowly rose to his feet, saying sternly, "Chairman Zhou, this is a very severe accusation. Are you sure?"

Shen Yanqing also said, "Yeah, Chairman Zhou, you can’t just say things recklessly. If word spreads, it will have a huge impact on President Lu’s team, and even if it’s cleared up, it will still bring them irreparable damage."

Pei Jingyuan’s face turned red, not understanding why Zhou Xueyi would frame them like this.

Angry, Pei Jingyuan stood up, not caring who Zhou Xueyi was at this point, framing their hard work was not acceptable.

"Chairman Zhou, you need evidence to say something like that!" Pei Jingyuan said furiously, "When I was working as an internet café administrator, the owner knew I was interested in software design and development, and had even started dabbling in it, so he got me a separate computer to work on my own developments whenever I had free time."

"Ji Deyi and I were in the same field, and we developed Little Pink Book together. We were both inexperienced, doing this for the first time, relying solely on our enthusiasm and the owner’s support. We also took a lot of detours in the design process. To develop Little Pink Book, we worked tirelessly, nearly living in the internet café every day."

"Yeah, I was better off, I was just assisting, Pei Jingyuan was the main designer," Ji Deyi said. "He was practically on a 24-hour shift, living in the internet café while working on Little Pink Book. When customers needed him, he’d go to work, and when he was free, he worked on Little Pink Book. When tired, he’d nap for a bit, then continue after sleeping for two or three hours."

"I took over his shift, and he would then focus on working on Little Pink Book," Ji Deyi recalled the hard work, the tough days, how difficult it all was.

But Zhou Xueyi wrongfully accused them of not making Little Pink Book.

What did Zhou Xueyi mean by that?

If it wasn’t made by them, did it mean it was stolen by them?

Their product, created through sleepless nights, was accused of being stolen by someone else.

Who could accept that?

"When we finally finished Little Pink Book, do you know how excited we were? We hugged and cried for a long time, do you know that? Even in the beginning, when we were working on Little Pink Book, we never imagined we could actually complete it. The one with the most confidence was actually the owner."

"But when we did finish it, it felt like we were dreaming!" Ji Deyi said, unable to hold back tears.

He used his sleeves to roughly wipe his face.

The rough texture of the sweater caused some irritation to his skin, but he didn’t mind.

"We never thought we could do it, you will never understand that feeling. We don’t expect you to understand, but you can’t smear our reputation, you can’t frame us!"

Lu Youxi’s face turned cold, "If you’re accusing us of not creating Little Pink Book, then who did make it? Also, bring out the evidence!"

"Just because you are a director at Chengzhou, doesn’t mean you can say anything you want," Lu Youxi scoffed mockingly, "A director of Chengzhou doesn’t have that much power either."

Zhou Xueyi snorted, "Nothing but a paper tiger."

Lu Youxi also stood up, showing a rare cold demeanor, "Vice President Xiang, about this matter today with Chairman Zhou..."

"It absolutely does not reflect Chengzhou’s stance!" Xiang Shihong hurriedly interjected.

"This is merely Chairman Zhou’s personal opinion. The people responsible for the in-depth collaboration project with Little Pink Book are myself, Shen Yanqing, and Yan Lixu, it has nothing to do with Chairman Zhou. This meeting was supposed to be just the three of us, it was Chairman Zhou who suddenly wanted to join."

"President Lu." Xiang Shihong always addressed Lu Youxi like this, never belittling her due to her young age or showing disrespect.

Since both parties were in a business collaboration, they deserved mutual respect.

"The statements made by Chairman Zhou here are unrelated to Chengzhou," Xiang Shihong stated solemnly.

"Xiang Shihong, you’ve got quite the nerve, who allowed you to speak on behalf of Chengzhou!" Zhou Xueyi didn’t expect Xiang Shihong to repeatedly disrespect him and genuinely did not regard him highly.

"In this matter of collaboration with Little Pink Book, I can represent Chengzhou," Xiang Shihong said coldly, "Contrarily, Chairman Zhou, you do not represent Chengzhou. Your recent accusations can only represent your personal views."

Xiang Shihong was also irritated by Zhou Xueyi.

He guessed Zhou Xueyi had no good intentions coming here today, but he couldn’t object.

It was just the right opportunity to see what Zhou Xueyi was up to.

Xiang Shihong’s thoughts coincided with those of Lu Youxi when Zhou Xueyi first proposed investing in Little Pink Book.

Instead of constantly guarding against Zhou Xueyi’s hidden agenda, it was better to see what he truly intended to do.

Who would have thought Zhou Xueyi would pull such a big move.

He wanted to sabotage the collaboration between Chengzhou and Little Pink Book!

Xiang Shihong was puzzled. Zhou Xueyi was coveting the CEO position at Chengzhou, but why antagonize Little Pink Book?

Little Pink Book was just a fledgling company; Zhou Xueyi’s actions against them seemed like a waste of his tactics and energy.

Was it simply because he couldn’t stand to see Chengzhou and Little Pink Book getting along?

Clearly, his previous proposal to invest in Little Pink Book was also with ill intentions.

But it was only when he saw that Little Pink Book’s office was actually in an internet café that Zhou Xueyi changed his mind.

Even so, Xiang Shihong still couldn’t figure out why, after changing his mind, he still wanted to destroy Little Pink Book.

Xiang Shihong felt mentally exhausted and rubbed the corners of his eyes.

He trusted the capabilities of Little Pink Book and would not be swayed by Zhou Xueyi’s words.

Moreover, his stance at this moment was particularly crucial.

Any hesitation and the collaboration between Chengzhou and Little Pink Book might collapse.

His hesitation now, while not necessarily meant belief in Zhou Xueyi’s words, could still signify distrust towards Little Pink Book.

Further collaboration would likely not be as harmonious as before.

Although Little Pink Book was a new company, Chengzhou still cared about its reputation.

At this critical moment, they couldn’t have things both ways.

They had to show resolute determination.

When it came to choosing between Lu Youxi and Zhou Xueyi, Xiang Shihong found he didn’t need to hesitate at all.

So, Xiang Shihong said to Lu Youxi, "President Lu, let’s continue with the contract signing."

Ji Deyi and Pei Jingyuan both had red eyes as they looked at Xiang Shihong.

Ji Deyi couldn’t believe what he was hearing and asked, "Vice President Xiang, you... you believe us?"

Listen to the difference in how they addressed him.

They referred to Xiang Shihong as "you."

But as for Zhou Xueyi, it was just "you."

Respect or disrespect, could be discerned just from their words.

He thought that after what Zhou Xueyi said, Xiang Shihong might have some doubts and would wait for Zhou Xueyi to produce evidence before making a decision.

Even so, he wouldn’t blame Xiang Shihong.

"Of course," Xiang Shihong nodded.

Shen Yanqing quickly said, "I also believe."

Yan Lixu looked at Xiang Shihong, then at Shen Yanqing, wondering if Xiang Shihong also knew about Lu Youxi’s identity as CEO, which was why he was quick to take a stand?
