Hidden truth, intricate love

Chapter 245 Unnamed Draft

The final project acceptance phase proceeded as planned, and Lin Yue's calmness and decisiveness reassured the team. Under her direction, the data tampering issue was quickly resolved, and after the backup plan was activated, the project finally returned to normal. However, the pressure of this incident left Lin Yue even more exhausted.

Meanwhile, Li Hao's guard remained silent but unwavering. He repeatedly tried to approach Lin Yue, but was blocked by her indifference. The emotional rift between them seemed to grow increasingly irreconcilable as time went by. One morning, while Lin Yue was presiding over a project acceptance meeting, the technical lead suddenly received an urgent message.

"Mr. Lin, some team members have reported that their terminal devices have experienced unknown abnormal login behavior." The technical director said in a low voice with a serious expression.

"Unknown login?" Lin Yue frowned slightly. "What's the specific situation?"

"These login attempts seem to be initiated through external channels. It is possible that the project data is being invaded again." The technical director handed her the report.

After quickly flipping through the documents, Lin Yue immediately issued an order: "Immediately cut off all external interfaces and thoroughly investigate all login records. At the same time, strengthen internal network protection and prohibit any unauthorized access."

Her calm leadership quickly calmed the team's anxiety, but she had a vague feeling that this time, things were not simple. After learning that Lin Yue's project had encountered problems again, Li Hao took the initiative to contact her.

"Lin Yue, I heard your system has problems again." Li Hao's tone was full of concern. "Is the situation not good this time?"

"We're already dealing with it." Lin Yue's tone was calm, as if everything was under control.

"Lin Yue, could you please not be so tough all the time?" Li Hao's voice was filled with helplessness. "Sometimes, asking others to help you isn't necessarily a bad thing."

"Thank you for your kindness, but we can resolve this matter." Lin Yue still refused his approach.

"Lin Yue," Li Hao whispered, "You always refuse others from getting close to you, but I don't understand. Is this kind of life really easy for you?"

Lin Yue was silent for a moment, then said, "Mr. Li, my choice has nothing to do with you. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first."

Li Hao took a deep breath, his eyes filled with helplessness. He knew that no matter what he said, Lin Yue's defense would not collapse easily.

While Lin Yue was busy finishing the project, Gu Yao took action again. This time, she tried to directly interfere with the final acceptance of the project through a senior executive within the partner.

"Mr. Lin, we've received news that a senior executive from a partner has raised objections to some of the project's technical specifications," the technical director rushed into the meeting room. "They're demanding a review of all the data, which will significantly delay the acceptance."

Lin Yue's face darkened slightly: "What is the reason for your objection?"

"They think there are some unreasonable parts in our technical indicators, but these doubts do not seem to be entirely valid," the technical director whispered.

Lin Yue immediately contacted the person in charge of the partner and requested a face-to-face meeting. After several hours of negotiation, she successfully rejected the other party's unreasonable demands and ensured that the project acceptance would proceed as planned.

However, she also realized that Gu Yao appeared behind her again this time.

Lin Yue decided to meet Gu Yao in person. The two met in a cafe, and the atmosphere was tense.

"Lin Yue, you are always so aggressive." Gu Yao smiled lightly, with a hint of coldness in her tone, "Aren't you afraid that one day you will be smashed to pieces?"

"Gu Yao, you can try." Lin Yue's tone was calm and firm, "But every time, you will only end up failing."

"Failure?" Gu Yao snorted coldly, "Lin Yue, I'm just one step slower than you, but that doesn't mean I will always fail."

"Gu Yao." Lin Yue's eyes were sharp. "If you think these methods can make me surrender, then you are too naive. This time, the consequences for you may be more serious than you imagine."

The conversation between the two was filled with tension, and the air around them seemed to freeze. Finally, Gu Yao sneered and stood up to leave, while Lin Yue sat quietly in the same place, a hint of coldness in his eyes.
