Chapter 2108: Chapter 2108: You're Too Raw

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ji Qingyan’s response caused everyone present to gasp in surprise.

Wendevi, speaking from a technical perspective and relying on his seniority and influence, had assumed he could suppress Ji Qingyan. However, he hadn’t expected her to address the issue from an even higher level, completely overshadowing him.

The answer was truly ingenious.

Shen Tianzhuo shared the same sentiment. It was no wonder that President Lin had entrusted the group to Ji Qingyan back then.

With such capability, it seemed that aside from President Lin, no one could surpass her.

“But the essence of this matter ultimately still comes down to the technology.” Wendevi forcibly responded.

“The carbon-based chip technology is immature, so we can’t adopt your suggestion.”

“The so-called immaturity only applies to the technology you possess. Two years ago, our technical team had already mastered the process of carbon-based chips.” Ji Qingyan replied.

“Give us another two years, and we will produce carbon-based chips in the lab. I believe that would be far more useful than the new protocol you’re advocating.”

To develop carbon-based chips within two years!

Hearing this, the technical leaders on stage were all deeply shocked.

This was something they had never even considered before!

If they actually succeeded in developing carbon-based chips, the global semiconductor landscape would be completely rewritten!

The West would no longer hold a dominant position in this field!

And the rise of Huaxia was something they were even more unwilling to see!

“It seems there’s another person to deal with besides Shen Tianzhuo, and that’s this Ji Qingyan from Huaxia.” Bowen remarked.

“Her courage rivals any man here. If she teams up with Shen Tianzhuo, the two of them together could pose a real threat to us.”

“Let me handle it.” Lee Yongchul said with a smile.

“Rather than leaving it to those incompetent police, I might as well take care of her myself. The result will be the same anyway.”

“That’s a matter for later. Right now, Wendevi clearly can’t hold his ground.” Bowen said.

“There are still many major semiconductor companies here. If their confidence wavers, it won’t be good for us.”

Bowen’s thinking was entirely from a capital perspective.

Businesspeople chase profits. What they care about is greater returns. If Lingyun Group actually develops carbon-based chips, these people would vote with their feet.

“Even if you develop them, so what? It would still only be at the experimental stage. Mass production would be a whole other problem.” Wendevi, again focusing on the technical aspect, stabilized his position.

“Besides, don’t think you can use this to deceive us. It’s not a proper solution.”

“At Lingyun Group, we have always conducted business with integrity. Naturally, we wouldn’t resort to such tactics.” Ji Qingyan responded.

“Moreover, according to the plans we discussed earlier, the agreement and architecture for carbon-based chips could be open-source. Everyone can make money together. We wouldn’t act like you, monopolizing every bit of technology you acquire. That’s just too petty.”

Standing on stage, Wendevi found himself at a loss for words. He was silent for a long time, unable to respond.

“Please make way!”

Just as the atmosphere at the party was plunging into silence, a voice suddenly came from the entrance.

Everyone turned to look and saw four police officers rushing in.

Instinctively, the guests at the banquet began to move back, their faces full of confusion.

Why had the police shown up at such an event?

Due to the police’s arrival, the confrontation between Ji Qingyan and Wendevi had to come to a halt.

But at that moment, Ji Qingyan noticed that the four officers were heading straight towards her.

They took out handcuffs and, before Shen Tianzhuo could comprehend what was happening, cuffed him without giving him a chance to react.

Both of them widened their eyes, not expecting such a turn of events.

“What are you doing?!”

Ji Qingyan stood in front of Shen Tianzhuo and demanded.

“His name is Shen Tianzhuo, correct?” The leading white officer asked.

“Yes, that’s me.”

“We suspect that while employed at Microsoft, you leaked commercial secrets. We’re taking you in for questioning.” The white officer stated.

“We have an arrest warrant, and we hope you’ll cooperate. Resisting won’t do you any good.”

“Leaked commercial secrets?!”

Shen Tianzhuo exclaimed, “This is slander! I won’t accept your defamation!”

“According to procedure, we will give you the opportunity to hire a lawyer, and you can file a lawsuit. But for now, you need to come with us.”

“You’re going too far!” Ji Qingyan said emotionally, “This is a frame-up!”

Ji Qingyan understood how vital Shen Tianzhuo was to Lingyun Group.

If he were taken away, all the semiconductor projects at Lingyun Group would come to a standstill!

The core of the company would be finished!

Moreover, she knew very well that once Director Shen was taken away, it would be hard to get him back.

After all, when someone was determined to incriminate you, they’d find a way.

Standing by the stage, Evans nodded discreetly. The timing was just right.

Wendevi could no longer handle this woman.

“Miss, I suggest you not interfere with our work. Otherwise, we will have to arrest you as well.” The white officer warned bluntly.

Ji Qingyan’s beauty had no effect on him.

“Even if you take me away, I won’t let you take Director Shen!”

“Then I’m afraid we’ll have to arrest you too, for obstructing justice.”

With that, the white officer pulled out another pair of handcuffs, preparing to cuff Ji Qingyan.

“Officers, you’re being too rough.”

Just as the officer was about to act, Lee Yongchul, who had been standing on stage, spoke up.

Both Ji Qingyan and Shen Tianzhuo turned to look and recognized who Lee Yongchul was.

The future first-in-line heir of Samsung.

But they hadn’t expected him to step in at this moment.

“Sir, do you have something to say?”

The white officer looked at Lee Yongchul.

“This beautiful lady is simply a bit agitated, but she’s not a criminal.”

“If she doesn’t interfere, we won’t arrest her.”

“Thank you.”

Lee Yongchul smiled and looked at Ji Qingyan.

“Miss Ji, I suddenly feel like having a chat with you about this matter. Could you give me the opportunity for a private conversation?”

“A chat? There’s nothing for us to discuss. Dismiss any unrealistic thoughts you have.”

Ji Qingyan stared coldly at Lee Yongchul and said icily,

“If you really want to talk, have your sister, Lee Yongjin, come to me. You won’t do.”‘
