Chapter 237: Lagging behind, everything will be too late

Gu Shangyou's face was as deep as a cold pool. He looked at Sun Quan and confirmed again: "Where did you get the news? Is it accurate?"

For project secrets like this, Jiang Group should wait until the new products go online before announcing them. How could he hear the wind?

Sun Quan quickly explained: "It's like this, Chairman. I was having a meal with a few classmates from the same department at my alma mater after the New Year. An old classmate who is in the Jiang Group's artificial intelligence project team got drunk and told me about this unintentionally."

"According to the timeline he explained, it basically coincides with the time you arranged for the technical Group 1 of Hao Peng to meet with the other party. If the project is to undergo code testing, our Group 3 must participate in it, but we didn't receive any news, so I judged that Hao Peng didn't contact the other party's people at all, which led to the loss of the cutting-edge program."

"Technical Department Supervisor Li is Hao Peng's brother-in-law. I was afraid that if I reported this to Supervisor Li, he would find a way to suppress it, so I dared to come directly to report this to you."

Gu Shangyou's face was already terribly black after hearing Sun Quan's words.

Mainly because when he handed this matter to Hao Peng of the technical Group 1, he specifically added a sentence: "If the project doesn't meet Gu Group's standards, reject it directly. If there is no follow-up cooperation, there is no need to explain the details and results to me."

How long has it been?

There was no follow-up news about this matter, so he thought the things made by Shen Ci's team weren't good enough to enter Gu Group's eyes, so the cooperation had already ended.

After all, from the beginning, he didn't look favorably on this "grassroots team" composed of a few fresh graduates.

But not looking favorably was just his psychological expectation, which didn't mean the other party was really no good, and even less did it mean that the employees he ordered could be so slack, or even not do it at all!

This is dereliction of duty!

And it is very likely to cause huge losses to the company!

Gu Shangyou immediately called the technical department, and Technical Department Supervisor Li Xiaofeng and technical Group 1 Leader Hao Peng were called to the chairman's office by name.

"You go back to work first."

Gu Shangyou sent Sun Quan away first, so as not to be bumped into by the other party and know that he was the one who informed, as competition in large companies is fierce, and it is inevitable that disputes will arise.

Sun Quan nodded, exited the office, and closed the door behind him.

Gu Shangyou's blood surged, and he got up and paced back and forth in the office.

Although Jiang Group has just entered the field of artificial intelligence and has a not-small gap with Gu Group, the industry leader, Jiang Group is financially strong, and almost all the fields they have entered have not stumbled.

They can take a fancy to Shen Ci's project, which is enough to see that the things made by Shen Ci's team are definitely not mediocre, and there must be something to be learned from them.

Gu Shangyou knows clearly what the update and iteration of artificial intelligence means to the industry. There is no eternal leader in this field, and the so-called leading position is nothing more than a false title swaying in the wind and rain, because once other groups develop new technology, Gu Group's position can be replaced at any time.

The worry in Gu Shangyou's heart at this moment is exactly what Shen Ci said to Luo back then: "The most feared thing in this industry is lagging behind!"

Lagging behind others means lagging behind wealth.

By then, everything will be too late!

And what makes Gu Shangyou even more puzzled is that it was clearly agreed upon back then, so why didn't the two sides meet?

Did Shen Ci break her promise and defect to Jiang Group, or did some changes happen in the middle?

Gu Shangyou didn't quite believe that Shen Ci was untrustworthy. After all, he was moved by her sincerity back then, but the cooperation wasn't promoted, and Shen Ci didn't come to him a second time to seek a solution, and even Lianxing didn't reveal a hint of news.

This made him mistakenly think that the project itself wasn't good, so the cooperation wasn't reached!

Thinking of this, Gu Shangyou quickly picked up the phone on the table and dialed his daughter.

Driving school, Gu Lianxing was concentrating on operating the car. Because her sense of direction was very poor, driving was actually a very difficult thing for her. If she wasn't careful, it was easy to make mistakes.

On the entire practice field, the car crawling like a turtle was Gu Lianxing's.

The next second, because the speed was too slow and the driving school car was a bit old, the car stalled directly.

"Eh?" Gu Lianxing looked around in confusion: "Coach, the car is broken!"

The coach in the passenger seat took a deep breath when he saw this, looking speechless and having to be patient, only to see him pat the key and say: "The car stalled, restart!"

"Ah? It was driving fine, why did it stall? This car is too broken."

"It's because you are driving too slowly. When will you get your driver's license if you learn to drive like this?"

Gu Lianxing blinked innocently: "Safety first. This field is so small, it's easy to have an accident if you drive too fast."

Coach: "..."

Gu Lianxing was about to restart the fire when Jiang Lingchuan suddenly walked over and knocked on her window.

She slowly rolled down the car window, and before she could speak, Jiang Lingchuan had already handed the phone to her: "Uncle Gu's call."

Gu Lianxing was slightly stunned and answered subconsciously: "Dad?"

"Lianxing." Gu Shangyou didn't have time to talk nonsense and asked directly: "Dad asks you, why didn't the project team Shen Ci wanted to cooperate with Gu Group meet with the people Dad arranged? Did she mention it to you?"

Gu Lianxing thought about it when she heard this and replied seriously: "That's not right, she went!"

Gu Lianxing had a very deep impression of this matter, because the day Shen Ci took the team to contact and meet with Gu Group happened to be the day Teacher Li's divorce lawsuit was heard.

So Shen Ci didn't go to court that day, but went to Gu Group for the team!

After she told these things to her father, she subconsciously wondered: "Dad, wouldn't it be that Gu Group's people deliberately neglected Shen Ci, which led to her refusing to cooperate with Gu Group?"

Since it could be determined that Shen Ci went, then if she didn't see anyone, it must be Gu Group's reason. Lianxing's guess was very reasonable.

Gu Shangyou took a deep breath: "Dad knows. Dad will handle some things here first."

"Dad, I know Shen Ci. She doesn't ask for help easily. She was willing to ask me to help bridge the gap just to meet you for this project, which is enough to prove her importance to this matter. If this matter is really Gu Group's fault, I hope you can apologize to Shen Ci, because she is my best friend. Even if Gu Group looked down on her, she didn't say a word to me."

Hearing his daughter's words, Gu Shangyou also felt some guilt in his heart.

Because he didn't take this matter to heart originally, which indirectly led to this result. If he had paid more attention, things definitely wouldn't have developed like this.

"Don't worry, Dad will definitely figure out the origin of the matter. If it's Gu Group's fault, Dad can apologize to Shen Ci."

Moving is too tiring, I don't want to move again in this life qaq
