Chapter 413: Slap in the Face! The Real Dr. CC! (9)
"Boss, if you step in, this won’t just be a simple case of technical plagiarism, but commercial infringement, which will directly affect Qin Technology Group’s reputation and all of its collaborative projects. Even if you want to protect Miss Ji, you can’t do it in a way that pains friends and pleases foes..."
The assistant, having been by Qin Nanyu’s side for some time, noticed that Qin Nanyu was hesitating to make a decision, and surmised what he might be thinking, urgently reminded him.
Before the assistant could finish, Qin Nanyu glared at him.
He believed in Ji Weitian, and he was willing to take the risk as long as he could protect her.
His hesitation wasn’t due to anything else, but because he knew better than anyone whether Ji Weitian was actually at the scene or not.
With her character, the moment she saw Luo Xinyan appear backstage, she should have realized it was a trap.
A well-prepared trap.
Luo Xinyan had seized upon their new product’s core technology resembling Dr. CC’s patent and the suspicion of technological theft, positioning herself on the moral high ground.
Ji Weitian’s delay in appearing probably wasn’t due to fear, but because she was thinking of a way to solve the problem.
If his guess wasn’t wrong, what he should be doing right now wasn’t to go out and admit guilt for her, but to buy her time...
But the problem was that, in the current situation, after completing the technical analysis, Qin Nanyu simply couldn’t think of a solution.
How could he prove they hadn’t plagiarized when the two technologies were so similar?
Ji Weitian... how could she break this predicament?
Qin Nanyu raised his head, his gaze slowly moving towards the direction of the resting area.
He said nothing, simply waiting quietly.
Until Luo Xinyan sensed something and deliberately had reporters come to inquire how Qin Technology Group viewed the alleged plagiarism in the experiment.
Did Qin Technology Group know all along?
Not only was Qin Nanyu surrounded by reporters, but the others in the laboratory were not spared either, all being pressed for their views on the incident and whether it was solely Ji Weitian’s act or if it had anything to do with them.
Just as the situation was about to spiral out of control—
A slender figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the venue, and her crisp voice, cutting through the crowd, resonated throughout the place.
"Qin Technology Group leads technological innovation and respects intellectual property rights, and would absolutely never plagiarize someone else’s technology or infringe upon their legal rights!"
Her voice wasn’t loud.
In the noisy venue, it could have easily been overlooked.
Yet, inexplicably, everyone heard it.
Almost simultaneously, they quieted down and turned their gazes towards the entrance of the venue.
Seeing that it was Ji Weitian who had appeared, reporters hastily raised their cameras, frantically snapping photos.
Ji Weitian advanced step by step against the flashing lights.
Her resolute steps, just like the words she had just spoken, were filled with confidence in Qin Technology Group.
As if sensing something, Ji Weitian instinctively lifted her head to look in Qin Nanyu’s direction, and as their eyes met, she gave him a reassuring smile.
"Miss Ji, you just said that Qin Technology Group would not plagiarize someone else’s technology, so are you admitting that this incident was entirely your own doing?"
"You plagiarized Dr. CC’s patented technology and have caused a negative influence on the industry’s ethics. Shouldn’t you apologize to the public?"
"There are rumors that you have a close relationship with President Qin. Did you do this to impress him, and did you ever consider the consequences of being discovered?"
Sharp questions followed one after another.
