The scene shifts to Gaojiazhuang Airport, where check-in procedures have already begun. At the security checkpoint, a British man with blonde hair, a high nose bridge, and blue eyes is waving goodbye to several senior officials accompanying him when suddenly a voice speaks up in fluent English: "Mr. Brook, please hold on a moment!" Brook turns around to see a young man and two women rushing toward him, breathless and out of sync, completely unfamiliar to him. They are clearly impatient, saying, "I'm very busy! Please don't interrupt my business trip!" "Highlight stepped forward, speaking in fluent English with clear rhythm and conviction, expressing sincere earnestness: 'Please allow me five minutes of your time. I need to finish what I have to say—this matter is of utmost importance to your company. If you don't listen to the rest, we will have to express our regret, as this directly concerns your company's core interests. The outcome hinges entirely on your decision. I'm sure you don't want the 1 billion yuan in commercial procurement to go to waste, do you?' After speaking, she smiled sincerely and warmly, and gestured for Gao Qingxue to respond. Gao Qingxue was momentarily at a loss, standing still. Brook, who was time-conscious, kept glancing at her watch, clearly growing impatient; Gao Ruolan grew increasingly anxious and found it difficult to interject. She only looked at Gao Liang, who smiled at her confidently, completely at ease and without any signs of hesitation. Indeed, Gao Ruolan noticed Gao Liang quickly signaling to Gao Qingxue, pointing to the document she was holding in her hands. Gao Qingxue suddenly understood and promptly opened it, her eyes lighting up as if a light had been revealed in the darkness. She then spoke fluently and eloquently about the document. Given Gao Qingxue's solid education and her excellent English as well as strong business knowledge, Brook nodded continuously throughout the conversation. Gao Ruolan was also astonished, not merely impressed by Gao Qingxue's fluent English and business acumen, but rather, she felt that all of this was entirely due to Gao Liang's meticulous preparation—something she had never anticipated. Every time Gao Qingxue presented a point, Brook widened his eyes in genuine surprise, then beamed with delight, repeatedly saying, "OK! OK! OK!" and clapping enthusiastically. The senior executives around them showed the same reactions. What was going on? It turned out that Gao Liang had obtained the business materials that had never been sent out, from the housekeeper Chen Jiangliu. Gao Liang himself was a true computer expert, deeply familiar with the company's technology, having been exposed to the company's computer products and software since childhood. Therefore, he could understand these technical documents well; even when he wasn't fully familiar with certain aspects, he could always find answers by consulting the IT database of Lianchuang Group. At first, he thought these technologies were flawless. But a piece of white jade inspired him—picked up accidentally while dancing with Gao Ruolan in the ballroom. From a distance, the jade appeared perfect, but upon close inspection with a magnifying glass, he noticed imperfections. Likewise, the technical documentation had its own flaws. Thus, he decided to identify the shortcomings of this technology and improve upon them, aiming to develop a completely new, more refined proposal. Indeed, driven by his passion for computer technology and his determination to learn and delve deeply, he uncovered ten defects and developed several practical programs. What Gao Qingxue is now presenting to Brook is precisely this list of ten improvement points—where he identified flaws and enhanced the technology. Gao Ruolan was deeply impressed by Gao Qingxue's graceful demeanor and business acumen, even more so by Gao Liang's boldness and outstanding insight. "Why do you know this technology so well? Could it be that you've copied it from Xin Tian Company?" Brook asked, eyes wide with genuine surprise. “NO! NO! NO!” Gao Liang loudly rejected it, indicating to Gao Qingxue to present another set of documents. Wow! Gao Qingxue was stunned, gasping in Mandarin, “Gao Liang, you’re so attentive—your work is truly impeccable!” Gao Ruolan looked over in surprise. When Gao Qingxue finished, she handed several documents to Brook. Brook read them, wide-eyed, nearly collapsing, and angrily exclaimed, “This is utterly shameful! Utterly shameful!” It turned out that Gao Liang had gathered solid evidence of the breach of commercial confidentiality—clearly documenting how Lin Mingjun had sent out confidential information via email. Despite his father, Gao Zhongming, having dispatched the company’s top cybersecurity experts to conduct rigorous monitoring, no specific email content had been found. Yet Gao Liang had successfully recovered the deleted emails. Clearly, Gao Liang’s hacking skills were exceptional—he was truly a hacker god. It was now clear what had happened, yet Brook, after listening, frowned and said, "I'm merely the Executive President of the company. Key matters still need to be reported to the Chairman. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving right away!" With that, he said no more, simply waved goodbye to the several senior executives and proceeded through the security checkpoint, heading to catch his flight. Gao Qingxue watched Brook's retreating figure and sighed, "All that effort was for nothing!" "Qingxue姐! I've gone through today's daily report. They've already signed a memorandum of intent—approved by the Chairman. Brook might be concerned about adhering to commercial protocols," Gao Ruolan interjected. "We've secured the win!" Gao Liang said with confidence. When Gao Liang, Gao Qingxue, Gao Ruolan, and Chen Jiangliu returned home, as soon as they entered the hall, they noticed Gao Zhongming pacing back and forth, clearly anxious. The ashtray on the side table beside them was already packed full of cigarette ends—clearly the result of Dad constantly lighting and then extinguishing his cigarettes again and again. "How did it go?" High Zhongming asked them directly. "Ms. Zhang! Hurry and bring me a glass of water—I'm thirsty!" High Qingxue called out to Ms. Zhang beside her. Ms. Zhang nodded and promptly served a full glass of pure natural mineral water to the lady. At the same time, both High Liang and High Ruolan took their cups of tea and began to drink. "Oh dear! Just received word—tomorrow, New Sky Company and the British PLC will officially sign the agreement at the High-tech Park in Gaojiazhuang! That's the latest news our journalist friend shared with us!" High Zhongming said, his voice heavy with emotion. High Qingxue and High Ruolan exchanged a look of weary smiles and said in unison, "We came all this way today—just to find out it was all for nothing!" "Mom, you really think so?" High Liang asked, turning to the quiet Ms. Dong Lingyun beside him. Dong Lingyun beamed with excitement and said happily, "I've got a secret to share— I drew again. Don't doubt it! It's still the topmost sign, the one that turns everything around!" "Lingyun, don't be self-deceptive—" High Zhongming had just started when his phone rang. On seeing the caller ID, he was surprised—his hands went stiff, clearly stunned. Gao Liang quickly stepped over to help press the answer button, and only after three minutes of conversation did High Zhongming regain his composure. His father’s expression had shifted from astonishment to joyful delight, as if the weather had transformed from continuous rain to bright sunshine. With a joyful exclamation, High Zhongming tossed the phone aside—luckily, Chen Jiangliu caught it, and he kept saying, "Good thing! Good thing! Such a precious phone!" High Zhongming roared, pouring out his enthusiasm: "Lingyun, I’ve lost, but I’m absolutely thrilled!" The chairman of the UK PLC company received Brook's thorough report and, within the shortest possible time, reached a decision with the board members to cancel the agreement with Xin Tian Company. Moreover, upon re-evaluating the qualifications of Lianchuang Group and the comprehensive technical proposal they offered, they found that everything fully met their requirements. Thus, they made an unexpected move—planning to formally sign the agreement with Lianchuang Group tomorrow at the Gaojiazhuang High-Tech Park.
