Yamada's plot to have him assassinated fell through, leaving him furious and stretching his face thin—having one scheme fail, he immediately devised another. High-Ren's "Chinese Martial Arts" game was thriving in Japan, and the company now needed a batch of computers for the game designers' offices, so they had to source them locally. Meiji, who had an in-depth understanding of Japanese computers, was entrusted with this task. "Husband! This high-end computer was specially manufactured for you by Tanu Computer Co., Ltd.!" Meiji pointed to a newly delivered model. "Oh! Wife! That's excellent, really excellent!" High-Ren immediately liked it. "Of course! To ensure the quality of these company computers, my wife personally visited the manufacturing plant and made several trips—far surpassing the computers used in my father's original Nintendo game company!" Meiji said with genuine pride. Gao Liang is a computer whiz, having graduated from China's Coastal University of Science and Technology with a major in Computer Science and Technology, furthered his studies in computer technology at Stanford University in the U.S., and accumulated substantial professional experience. When Mei Ji was particularly pleased, Gao Liang was calmly operating on the computer software, smiling contentedly. Seeing her husband smile, Mei Ji returned a playful one and said, "Husband, I'm a bit tired today—can you stay with me?" She then pouted, for heaven's sake, her little wife now wanted him to actively accompany her—what a delightful turn! When Mei Ji was especially proud, Gao Liang's facial muscles were tightly contracted. He pounded the table, declaring, "There's a problem with these computers! We absolutely can't use them!" "What? What?" Mei Ji couldn't believe what she was hearing. "It's a hardware issue. Inside the CPU, there's an embedded chip—about the size of a grain of rice!" Meiji couldn't believe it—seeing the CPU through the chassis was already incredible, let alone being able to see inside the CPU itself. She firmly refused to believe it. After sending someone to remove the CPU from the chassis, Meiji immediately used tools to snap the CPU in half, but Gao Huang stopped her and said, "You must call the computer company right away—we demand immediate return of the product!" Meiji followed through, and soon the manager from Tiansu Computer Co., Ltd. arrived. Holding the CPU, he shook his head and said, "Mr. Gao, I'm responsible for producing this model. I guarantee that the CPU will not have any abnormal issues. On behalf of Tiansu Computer Co., Ltd., I solemnly commit to you that our company never produces substandard products—especially not those that don't satisfy customers." Gao Huang immediately asked Meiji to snap the CPU in half, and the manager was stunned, exclaiming, "This is impossible! This is impossible! Someone must have tampered with it!" "Who?" Gao Huang asked urgently. The manager patted his head and finally had it: "After this batch of goods was shipped, Yamada also expressed interest—he sent someone to inspect them in great detail. We made a point of being thorough ourselves, precisely to secure this major client. Yet, after the inspection, they suddenly said they no longer wanted this batch. And yet, precisely this batch is the one Miss Misugi has chosen!" "Alright, I won't press this matter—just make sure to provide the original factory CPUs!" High-light's words gave the manager a great sense of relief, as the major client was finally secured. The replacement was arranged smoothly. "Husband, your keen eye is truly remarkable—you managed to spot Yamada's scheme right away!" Misugi said this with a tone of praise, after glancing around to make sure no one was listening. "Actually, I only felt something unusual—I didn't realize the impact was so severe. It was *The Lucky Formula* that helped me. Yesterday, while browsing the official website of *Chinese Martial Arts*, I accidentally intercepted a hacker program. Using *The Lucky Formula*, I managed to decrypt it. It's a software specifically designed to remotely monitor game designers' office computers—very sophisticated, capable of even embedding itself deep within the CPU to cause subtle damage. Just now, while using a completely unrelated software, I noticed remote monitoring activity. After thorough analysis, based on the decryption from *The Lucky Formula*, I confirmed the monitoring originated from the CPU. What a scare! Once the hackers gain access, all our hard work as game designers will be completely wasted. Our *Chinese Martial Arts* game company's entire market presence in Japan will be ruined." Hengli explained in detail to Miki, who couldn't help but clapping her hands excitedly, saying, "Husband, you're absolutely amazing!" At the headquarters of Toyota Motor Corporation in Japan, Mr. Yoshino, International Sales Manager, smiled warmly at Gao Liang and said, "I've got all the vehicle models you need ready!" Gao Liang was very busy—during this period, he had devoted nearly 99% of his energy to market expansion and sales activities for China's Guo Fu Games Company in Japan, so he simply couldn't take the time to personally inspect each of the vehicles about to be purchased. Gao Liang asked, "Is there any quality issue?" "Li! No problem at all! I've checked it myself—there really isn't!" A familiar voice came through. Gao Liang looked up and saw—oh, good—there was his friend Liu Qingsong there. The two exchanged smiles and greeted each other warmly. At that moment, Liu Qingsong's phone rang. Upon answering, it was Zhang Shijie, general manager of China Binhai Good Speed Automotive Sales Company, on the line. Liu nodded enthusiastically and then transferred the call to Gao Liang. As soon as Gao picked up, Zhang's voice was urgent: "Our customers are pressing for delivery—they need the goods by the afternoon of tomorrow in Binhai! Otherwise, a major deal will be lost." "Got it! I'll do my best to secure high-quality inventory," Gao said, which gave Zhang great reassurance. "Liu Qingsong isn't as experienced as you are—especially in technical matters. You'll have to work extra hard. When the time comes, I'll double your salary!" "Great! Great!" Gao was delighted to hear that Zhang was proactively offering a salary increase. It wasn't about the financial impact on his lifestyle—it was about a sense of achievement. Indeed! The true identity of the old colleague remained a secret even in front of them—Dong Mengyao herself didn’t know it. The old colleague wasn’t just the CEO of two international companies; he was also a senior office worker! Who’s the real boss? Me! Who’s the office worker? Me! I’m a one-in-two role—what a great combo! Highlight and Liu Qingsong carefully inspected the car together, and here’s a little incident: During the test drive, Liu made a mistake. Unfamiliar with the new Toyota model, he accidentally pressed the wrong button, causing the car to shudder throughout, then emit a thunderous roar—very frightening. Then, the car suddenly surged forward like a wild lion out of control. "Liu! Quickly shift into forward gear, press the back brake firmly, and press all three green buttons at once—then adjust the switch below!" Under Highlight’s careful instructions, Liu followed every step. To everyone’s surprise, the car came to a sudden stop, and then smoothly advanced 50 meters before halting completely. Liu Qingsong broke into a cold sweat, as his car was just half a meter away from plunging off the roadside cliff. Good thing! It was actually his colleague Gao Liang who saved him. Gao Liang got onto the car with grace, checked it carefully, and then simply said something that surprised Liu Qingsong: "This car is不合格—no, I remember now, none of this batch is合格!" "What? That can't be right! I've reviewed the vehicle test reports; all the data are perfectly normal. On what grounds do you say it's不合格?" Liu Qingsong looked utterly puzzled. "Gao Liang, we've implemented the strictest quality controls! You can't claim we haven't put quality at the heart of everything—we Japanese treat quality as life!" said Yoshino, stepping forward with confidence. "Yoshino, come here and take a look! What is this?" Gao Liang pointed to the electronic control panel. "No way! It looks perfectly normal!" "Yoshino stared intently at the electronic control panel, her eyes wide open, but after a long while couldn't identify any issues. "Is it here?" High light carefully removed the control panel while simultaneously observing it with Liu Qingsong and Yoshino. Unexpectedly, upon closer inspection, he was stunned. It turned out that there were over ten exploded capacitors on the electronic circuit board, with electrolyte spilling all over the place. High light picked up one capacitor and gently twisted it between his fingers—now it had turned into a fine powder. "This... this... this can't be possible!" When Liu Qingsong was speechless with astonishment, Yoshino simply couldn't believe it was true—or perhaps her eyes were playing tricks on her! "Go check the other vehicles!" Under High light's suggestion, Yoshino rushed frantically to the next vehicle, checking the results.
