I think you, He Yubing, are the one who's suspicious!
Listening to Zhou Cheng's blatant insults, Qiu Yuwei's face was filled with shock.
She hadn't expected that even after presenting materials on Xingchen Technology Company's latest product that was about to be released, the Zhou Cheng before her still didn't show the slightest hint of worry or fear!
It was as if he wasn't worried at all about her selling the information or starting her own company based on it!
He was even still using words to humiliate and mock her!
"Zhou Cheng! You will definitely regret this!" Qiu Yuwei gritted her teeth.
But hearing this, Zhou Cheng only looked at Qiu Yuwei with contempt.
Zhou Cheng didn't know what he would have to regret.
Just based on these materials of Qiu Yuwei's?
These things were indeed identical in appearance and design to the Bionic Mechanical Arm Xingchen Technology was about to release, but that was only the appearance!
Xingchen Technology's Bionic Mechanical Arm was currently the top product in the world, developed by hundreds of top engineers! The most core technical part was the sensing chip within the mechanical arm and the program running inside that chip.
These things—even if Qiu Yuwei was a Rebirth and had seen the design drawings for this product, or even the list of supplier companies for every part of the Bionic Mechanical Arm, enabling her to buy and assemble all the components...
...it would still be nothing more than a pile of junk.
Only the chip and the program were the core technologies!
"Regret? The word 'regret' doesn't exist in my, Zhou Cheng's, dictionary."
"Qiu Yuwei, if you called me here today just to talk about this, then let's leave it at that!"
Zhou Cheng said casually and indifferently.
This indifferent attitude infuriated Qiu Yuwei. She was a Chosen One, a Top Student and a Genius, and she possessed all sorts of experience from the future.
She had her own pride; how could Zhou Cheng still be so disrespectful to her!
She glared at Zhou Cheng and threw out a "Just you wait."
Then she grabbed her things and slammed the door as she left!
Manager Wu watched Qiu Yuwei leave, muttering to himself that he probably didn't need to go out and buy Six Walnuts now!
Zhou Cheng didn't care about any of Qiu Yuwei's actions. After she left, he turned and walked toward the private room on the second floor.
If it weren't for the fact that these materials were created using Qiu Yuwei's Rebirth memories, making it impossible to find evidence of her stealing Xingchen Technology Company's technology!
Qiu Yuwei wouldn't even be thinking about leaving right now! Zhou Cheng would have definitely arrested her and sent her back in!
[Host has suppressed Qiu Yuwei. Reward: police force value +1000]
Not bad. Although a thousand police force value wasn't much, as long as this trip wasn't in vain, it was fine.
Besides, he could just have a meal here.
Zhou Cheng walked indifferently toward the second floor, while He Yubing followed behind him, looking preoccupied.
Her brow was furrowed as she kept thinking about the materials Qiu Yuwei had produced!
Arriving at the second-floor private room, the dishes Zhou Cheng had ordered were brought out one by one. The five dishes were all very luxurious and extravagant.
Zhou Cheng sat down directly and picked up his chopsticks, ready to start eating.
This afternoon, he had drunk a stomach full of tea at the Liu Family's house and hadn't even eaten, so he was quite hungry now.
As for He Yubing, she sat beside Zhou Cheng with a heavy heart.
Her appearance caught Zhou Cheng's attention. He turned his head, about to ask her what was wrong.
But before he could speak, He Yubing felt Zhou Cheng's gaze and spoke first:
"Second Young Master, I don't know how Qiu Yuwei got those materials, but I definitely didn't give them to her! I've never even spoken to her about anything regarding Xingchen Technology Company! I can swear to heaven!"
He Yubing said despondently. She had been racking her brain just now but couldn't figure out why Qiu Yuwei would have those materials!
Those were Xingchen Technology Company's top-secret documents!
She had been analyzing and thinking just now; those materials were only known to Xingchen Technology Company, herself, and Second Young Master Zhou.
The people at Xingchen Technology Company didn't know Qiu Yuwei, so they certainly wouldn't have given her the materials. Although the Second Young Master knew her, they had a conflict during their first meeting last time, so he definitely wouldn't have either!
After going through it like that, she was the one under the most suspicion.
Because she had the best relationship with Qiu Yuwei and had even strongly recommended her to the Second Young Master before.
So everything pointed to her... but she remembered clearly that she hadn't given them to her, nor had she even talked to Qiu Yuwei about the Bionic Mechanical Arm.
Now, she really couldn't clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
He Yubing was melancholy. She had just sent many photos to the Second Young Master to build some trust.
How did Qiu Yuwei come up with this trick now?
Isn't this just making things miserable for me!
Now the Second Young Master must suspect me the most!
Zhou Cheng listened to He Yubing's words and thought for a moment.
He knew Qiu Yuwei was a Rebirth, so he knew that her producing those materials had nothing to do with He Yubing.
But on He Yubing's end, she didn't know this, so she definitely felt she was under the most suspicion, and consequently, she would surely think he didn't trust her anymore.
She would surely think he was going to suspect her.
"I know. I have no intention of doubting you; her producing those materials definitely has nothing to do with you," Zhou Cheng said immediately, instilling his trust in He Yubing.
He told her not to overthink it.
"Second Young Master, I..." He Yubing frowned.
"Alright, don't overthink it. Those things might have been obtained from other channels. I'll have Xingchen Technology Company strengthen its defenses against espionage and such. Don't doubt my trust in you."
Just as He Yubing wanted to speak again, Zhou Cheng interrupted her directly.
"Eat first. I'll take you home later."
"Second Young Master..."
"I said, eat first!" Zhou Cheng frowned. He had already made himself clear; why did He Yubing still think he didn't trust her?
Had he scared her back at the Board of Directors meeting?
Zhou Cheng thought to himself, but he didn't bother with it further and decided to eat first.
"Oh," He Yubing nodded and uttered a soft response.
Although she stopped speaking, her brow remained furrowed.
Clearly, even though Zhou Cheng had said so, she still couldn't understand where Qiu Yuwei's materials had come from.
Even hearing Zhou Cheng's somewhat cold words at the end, she felt that although he said it was fine and told her not to overthink, in reality, he might be suspecting her in his heart!
After all, she was the prime suspect! At the same time, the Second Young Master was like a formidable leader—a suspicious person!
Thinking this, He Yubing immediately set a Trust Rank for herself in Zhou Cheng's mind.
From Hang to Hit Rock Bottom, there were five Ranks in total. From highest to lowest, they were: Hang, Top-tier, Superior, NPC, and Hit Rock Bottom.
Before this—specifically, before this morning—the Second Young Master's Trust Rank for her should have been at the 'Superior' level.
Then this morning, after sending many 'leverages' to the Second Young Master, the Trust Rank had risen to 'Top-tier.' But after what just happened—especially something like this, a major leak of commercial secrets...
...the Second Young Master must be extremely suspicious of her right now!
Therefore, the Trust Rank had dropped directly to 'NPC'!
It was definitely dangerous!
At this moment, a brainstorm was raging in He Yubing's mind. In fact, if she were facing other men or dealing with Group business, He Yubing wouldn't be so hesitant, let alone overthink things like this.
Only when facing Zhou Cheng did she always think about these things, deeply worried that he didn't trust her.
Meanwhile, Zhou Cheng was busy devouring his food, completely unaware of what was going on in He Yubing's mind.
If he knew, he would definitely give He Yubing a speechless, deathly glare.
You keep calling me suspicious, but I think you're the one who's paranoid, He Yubing!
My trust in you has always been at the 'Hang' level, okay?!
