As soon as the words left my mouth, enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience.
I smiled slightly, preparing to step down from the stage.
However, at that moment, a sudden voice rang out, "Wait a minute!"
I was taken aback and turned to see who it was.
To my surprise, it was none other than Pei Zhihao, the owner of Haoran Technology!
He was sitting in the front row, glaring at me with a sullen expression.
A sense of unease washed over me, but I maintained my smile and asked, "Is there anything else you would like to ask?"
Pei Zhihao stood up, his gaze icy as he replied, "I have a question!"
I furrowed my brow. "What is your question?"
Pei Zhihao coldly stated, "Isn't your Ze Feng Technology's office app's Cai Cai system stolen from our Haoran Technology's Financial System Plugin?"
At his words, the entire room fell into silence.
Everyone turned to look at me in unison, seemingly waiting for my response.
I was taken aback for a moment, then replied calmly, "Sir, I think you might be mistaken."
Pei Zhihao coldly retorted, "You know very well whether I’m mistaken or not!"
"Your Cai Cai system is clearly my Financial System Plugin! On what grounds do you claim it as your own?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd erupted in an uproar.
"What’s going on? Is the Ze Feng Technology office app actually a copy?"
"No way! Isn’t Ze Feng Technology known for its innovation? How could they resort to plagiarism?"
"That’s not certain! Which company these days isn’t trying to steal someone else’s work?"
"Exactly! I remember there was a company that stole a programmer's code and shamelessly claimed it as their own! How disgraceful!"
The audience buzzed with discussions, all debating whether the Ze Feng Technology office app had indeed plagiarized.
Standing on stage, facing the crowd's doubts and accusations, I felt a wave of panic rise within me.
But I knew this was not the time to panic!
I had to calm myself down in order to find a solution to the problem.
With that thought, I took a deep breath and smiled at Pei Zhihao.
"Sir, on what grounds do you claim that my Cai Cai system belongs to you?"
Pei Zhihao replied coldly, "Because I am the owner of Haoran Technology! You used to be an employee of my company! Your Cai Cai system is our property!"
At his words, the crowd erupted in murmurs once again.
I frowned and looked at him coldly. "Sir, are you serious?"
Pei Zhihao retorted icily, "I never joke around!"
I sighed. "Well, since you say so, there's nothing I can do."
Pei Zhihao sneered, "What? Are you scared? Let me tell you, today you must clarify this matter! Otherwise, I will sue you for intellectual property infringement! You'll never recover from it!"
At this declaration, the room fell into a sudden silence.
Everyone was looking at me, seemingly waiting for my response.
I smiled slightly and said, "Alright, I'll tell you now."
"My Cai Cai system is something I developed independently."
"Although I did show you some code before, I never fully handed it over to you."
"So my Cai Cai system has nothing to do with your Financial System Plugin."
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd erupted in murmurs once again.
Pei Zhihao stared at me coldly. "Are you still trying to argue?"
I smiled faintly. "You know very well whether I'm arguing or not."
Pei Zhihao's face turned ashen with anger. "You..."
But just then, a voice suddenly rang out, "Yu Wan is right."
We turned towards the voice and found that it belonged to none other than Cheng Mingshan, the owner of Ze Feng Technology!
