Chapter 307: Chapter 307: Protecting the Calf

"Indeed," Xiang Shihong couldn’t help but sigh, "when the three of them came to Chengzhou Technology for the support program interview, and we heard the introduction, Pei Jingyuan had only completed a diploma and was just a freshman, yet he had already designed Little Pink Book, we too were very shocked. I thought at the time that it was a pity for Pei Jingyuan. If he could receive a better education, his potential would be limitless."

"Jing University truly deserves its reputation as Hua Country’s top educational institution, willing to make accommodations for exceptional students—it’s no wonder they cultivate so many outstanding students." Xiang Shihong said with a smile as he pulled Shen Yanqing over, "Shen Yanqing is the manager of our Chengzhou Technology R&D department, and he’s also a graduate of Jing University!"

Shen Yanqing said modestly, "Fortunately, I didn’t disgrace Jing University too much."

"At such a young age, to serve as the manager of the R&D department of an industry leader like Chengzhou Technology—isn’t it a bit more than just ’not disgracing’ Jing University?" Professor Zhang said with a smile.

Immediately after, Professor Zhang’s tone turned serious again, "So, can we consider this misunderstanding cleared up then? Whether it’s me or the school, we both know about the Little Pink Book, and it really was developed tirelessly by these two kids."

"Of course!" Xiang Shihong also breathed a sigh of relief and nodded emphatically, "From now on, no one will doubt it. If anyone still has doubts, they should lay out the evidence clearly. One cannot simply slap baseless charges on others because of their whims and suspicions!"

Zhou Xueyi bit his teeth with frustration; these words were directed at him, weren’t they?

Xiang Shihong really didn’t regard him at all!

Professor Zhang slowly said, "You are all successful people, company executives; accusing someone’s children of a crime— even if it turns out to be a misunderstanding later on, you suffer no loss. Your jobs remain unaffected, but for these kids, it’s different; their whole lives would be ruined. In this industry, no one will use them, those hiring companies won’t care about the truth behind the initial incident. There are many available talents, they wouldn’t take the risk to probe into what was true. Even if they start a business again, there will be no one to collaborate with them. If they go to other industries, but with their character in question, who would employ them?"

"Vice President Xiang, do not let your company’s internal strife sacrifice our excellent students!" Professor Zhang’s tone became stern, "It was not easy for them to get into Jing University, nor was it easy for their parents and our school to cultivate them. Pei Jingyuan will soon be one of our Jing University students as well. Their talents must not be destroyed due to your personal interests!"

"As educators, we take pride in students who dare to venture, to try, and who also achieve results. The school will definitely support our students fully. As our students are now collaborating with your company, we hope you won’t harm our students."

"Vice President Xiang, they are not just a small team of three; they have the backing of Jing University," Professor Zhang said in a grave tone.

"Jing University has had quite a few successful collaborations with Chengzhou, and knowing they’re also collaborating with Chengzhou makes us feel secure. Don’t make us rest assured, entrusting you with our children for collaboration, only to have you ruin our outstanding students."

Xiang Shihong’s head drooped lower and lower as Professor Zhang spoke, and he could only keep saying "yes."

Although Professor Zhang seemed to be speaking to Xiang Shihong, in fact, all these words were aimed at Zhou Xueyi.

"By the way, how did the signing go today?" Professor Zhang asked Lu Youxi.

"We haven’t signed yet," Lu Youxi replied with a smile, "I was thinking it would be better for Chengzhou Technology to feel confident about our collaboration, without any anxiety. So the signing is postponed for now. We’ve come here first to clear things up so both sides can be at ease."

Professor Zhang nodded and then asked, "So, are you still going to sign this agreement?"

Professor Zhang thought for a while, then said, "If it really doesn’t work out, I’ll make contact. I have many students in this industry, and Chengzhou isn’t the only company out there!"

"With Chengzhou having such high standards and wanting to engage in deep collaboration with Little Pink Book, other companies will certainly be willing to work with Little Pink Book as well. I’ll contact a few more of my students, let them talk to their companies, and then you can choose, see which ones offer better terms."

Xiang Shihong: "..."

Shen Yanqing: "..."

Yan Lixu: "..."

Who would have thought that Professor Zhang was so protective of his students.

Now he was backing up the three of them.

Xiang Shihong wasn’t actually worried because being an industry leader for Chengzhou wasn’t just empty talk, it was a level far ahead of other companies in the same industry.

If Little Pink Book had to choose, there would be no better match than Chengzhou.

Nor would any company be able to offer better conditions than Chengzhou.

What Chengzhou offered wasn’t just in terms of money, but the resources of Chengzhou’s products.

The coverage of Chengzhou’s products was far beyond that of other brands.

The benefits it could bring were naturally much greater.

However, Professor Zhang’s words also meant that Little Pink Book had other options beyond just Chengzhou.

Maybe Little Pink Book was just a fledgling company and was nothing compared to Chengzhou, let alone having the luxury of choosing.

But Professor Zhang still gave Lu Youxi and the others the right to choose, letting Chengzhou know they were not indispensable.

Shen Yanqing thought that if this matter really went south, Zhou Shuyan might indeed not spare Zhou Xueyi this time.

Xiang Shihong immediately took a stance, "Professor Zhang, rest assured, this kind of thing will absolutely not happen again. I fully understand the harm that this has done to Lu Youxi and the others. I will report this matter to the CEO upon my return and ensure that Pei Jingyuan and Ji Deyi are not slandered in vain."

"And I can guarantee that no other company will be able to put forth the resources for Little Pink Book that Chengzhou can."

Professor Zhang looked to Lu Youxi, "What do you say?"

Ji Deyi made his stance, "I’ll follow the boss’s lead."

Lu Youxi said to Professor Zhang, "In fact, this time the issue was only with Chairman Zhou and Assistant Cao questioning us. Vice President Xiang, Manager Shen, and Manager Yan believed in us from the beginning. Even before we could prove ourselves, Vice President Xiang insisted on continuing with the contract signing."

"It was me who thought that if this matter wasn’t clarified, Vice President Xiang, Manager Shen, and Manager Yan would have difficulties back at the company, so I came over." Lu Youxi said at a measured pace, "We are collaborating with Chengzhou Technology, not with Chairman Zhou. So, we are still willing to sign a contract with Chengzhou."

"However, the matter with Chairman Zhou must also be settled," Lu Youxi said, his face growing stern and his tone firm, non-negotiable, "This issue isn’t something that can simply be resolved with a quick apology."

Zhou Xueyi sneered, thinking I have no intention of apologizing to you.

Apologize to you?

Who do you think you are?

"Even if I did apologize, once the story gets out, it would cause significant damage to our reputations. Whoever works with us in the future will have to think twice, right?"
