Chapter 307: Protecting the Calf
"Indeed," Xiang Shihong couldn’t help but sigh, "when the three of them came to Chengzhou Technology for the support program interview, and we heard the introduction, Pei Jingyuan had only completed a diploma and was just a freshman, yet he had already designed Little Pink Book, we too were very shocked. I thought at the time that it was a pity for Pei Jingyuan. If he could receive a better education, his potential would be limitless."
"Jing University truly deserves its reputation as Hua Country’s top educational institution, willing to make accommodations for exceptional students—it’s no wonder they cultivate so many outstanding students." Xiang Shihong said with a smile as he pulled Shen Yanqing over, "Shen Yanqing is the manager of our Chengzhou Technology R&D department, and he’s also a graduate of Jing University!"
Shen Yanqing said modestly, "Fortunately, I didn’t disgrace Jing University too much."
"At such a young age, to serve as the manager of the R&D department of an industry leader like Chengzhou Technology—isn’t it a bit more than just ’not disgracing’ Jing University?" Professor Zhang said with a smile.
Immediately after, Professor Zhang’s tone turned serious again, "So, can we consider this misunderstanding cleared up then? Whether it’s me or the school, we both know about the Little Pink Book, and it really was developed tirelessly by these two kids."
"Of course!" Xiang Shihong also breathed a sigh of relief and nodded emphatically, "From now on, no one will doubt it. If anyone still has doubts, they should lay out the evidence clearly. One cannot simply slap baseless charges on others because of their whims and suspicions!"
Zhou Xueyi bit his teeth with frustration; these words were directed at him, weren’t they?
Xiang Shihong really didn’t regard him at all!
Professor Zhang slowly said, "You are all successful people, company executives; accusing someone’s children of a crime— even if it turns out to be a misunderstanding later on, you suffer no loss. Your jobs remain unaffected, but for these kids, it’s different; their whole lives would be ruined. In this industry, no one will use them, those hiring companies won’t care about the truth behind the initial incident. There are many available talents, they wouldn’t take the risk to probe into what was true. Even if they start a business again, there will be no one to collaborate with them. If they go to other industries, but with their character in question, who would employ them?"
"Vice President Xiang, do not let your company’s internal strife sacrifice our excellent students!" Professor Zhang’s tone became stern, "It was not easy for them to get into Jing University, nor was it easy for their parents and our school to cultivate them. Pei Jingyuan will soon be one of our Jing University students as well. Their talents must not be destroyed due to your personal interests!"
