Chapter 878: Protecting Her Completely Once
Qin Nanyu saw her looking cute and couldn’t help but pinch her cheek, then looked up at Leng Jian.
"If I’m not mistaken, you’re here hoping we would publicly state that Zhang Lingying and the Qin Technology Group were only in a cooperative relationship, and that cooperation already ended when she completed the chip architecture design. Any interactions she has now with anyone are personal and not under the jurisdiction of the Qin Technology Group."
This way, no matter how much the rumors about Zhang Lingying and Lu Jing spread, they wouldn’t affect Zhang Lingying.
After all, if the Qin Technology Group, as the potential ’victim,’ has no issues with Zhang Lingying and even speaks up to support her, any attempts by others to tarnish her name naturally wouldn’t hold.
"You hope the Qin Technology Group will step in to support Zhang Lingying?" Ji Weitian finally came to her senses, looking at Leng Jian with some surprise.
Both she and Qin Nanyu believed in Zhang Lingying’s character and would do whatever was possible to uphold her reputation.
However, Leng Jian’s current actions were more than just simple support...
"Leng Jian, although we all treat Zhang Lingying as a younger sister and I understand your concern for her, she’s not actually your real sister... What I mean is, you have different backgrounds, and if you’re so protective of her, she might misunderstand your feelings for her. Have you thought about that? Moreover, the Qin Technology Group doesn’t belong solely to Qin Nanyu. For us to intervene rashly isn’t appropriate. Shouldn’t we contact Zhang Lingying first, find out her situation, and work together to resolve the issue?"
Leng Jian was never one to act recklessly.
That he was now thinking of taking everything on without contacting Zhang Lingying genuinely startled Ji Weitian.
"That’s not what I meant." Leng Jian lightly parted his lips, his tone fairly calm, and said, "I just hope you agree that if the situation continues to escalate, you’ll allow me to publicize that Zhang Lingying’s contract with the Qin Technology Group has long since ended."
That contract, as soon as Leng Jian agreed to join the lab, Qin Nanyu had already transferred it to him.
No one at the time foresaw such changes happening.
Leng Jian got the contract, unable to successfully send Zhang Lingying abroad for study, but perhaps now he could use it to protect her completely once.
This was why he specifically came to meet Qin Nanyu and Ji Weitian.
"Since it’s a contract I gave you, how you handle it is your freedom, as long as it’s not used to harm Zhang Lingying, I have no objection." Qin Nanyu calmly opened his lips.
Qin Nanyu’s straightforward agreement visibly eased Leng Jian.
But Ji Weitian was still conflicted about whether to interrupt their conversation and shyly raised her hand, saying, "I know you all want to protect Zhang Lingying, but I still think we should ask the person involved about private matters first."
"Alright."
Leng Jian nodded in agreement, "I’ll go find her now."
"I’ll go with you," Ji Weitian hurriedly stood up to follow.
Leng Jian paused in his steps, lightly shaking his head, "If we do announce Zhang Lingying’s early termination with the Qin Technology Group, it might affect the lab, it might be better if you stayed."
Ji Weitian furrowed her brows slightly, not objecting, just advising, "If anything happens, let us know in time."
"Alright." Leng Jian turned and left.
