Chapter 166: Theft

“The R & D Department has recently made some new progress in perspective panoramic screen technology. If everything goes well, they can apply it to our high-end flagship products next year. However, these breakthrough results are the efforts of the R & D Department’s nonstop work. Ning Yu caught wind of the issue and took it away.”

After listening to Ning Chen’s explanation, Qin Yu couldn’t sit still at all. Although she wasn’t in the technology business, she was well aware of the importance of technological breakthroughs for a product or even a company’s continuous innovation. The reason why many small and medium-sized enterprises found it difficult to grow and become strong was that they didn’t have enough investment in R & D. However, a truly large company would definitely allocate a higher budget to the R & D Team.

Innovation and breakthrough were what made a company sustainable.

With Ning Chen spending so much money to support the R & D Team and only achieved a breakthrough after several months of research, was Ning Yu allowed to take all of the efforts away?

Ning Yu was not a technician, so he definitely could not understand the data parameters. The department he worked in also had nothing to do with the R & D department, so it was impossible for him to take it away and leave it on.

“How can you let him take away such an important thing?” Qin Yu’s said anxiously. “These are trade secrets of the company. If they were leaked, all efforts and money spent are wasted!”

Seeing his wife getting anxious over the news, Ning Chen comforted, “Don’t worry, Xiao Yu. It’s the end of the year now, and the employees are all rushing to achieve their KPIs. Ning Yu caused such a big incident last time, so he naturally wants to perform well in front of Ning Jie. In that case, let’s give him a chance.”

When Qin Yu heard Ning Chen’s words, her gaze fell on Ning Chen’s usual expression. After staring at him for a while, she said in a puzzled tone, “Did you do it on purpose? Is the data fake?”

“It’s true,” Ning Chen’s tone was indifferent.

“You –“Qin Yu almost leaped into the air.

When did her husband become such a generous man? !

Just as Ning Chen had said, Ning Yu sent the experimental data to his father’s technical staff. They studied it for an entire afternoon and then called to say that the data was indeed obtained through actual experiments and was completely reliable — very valuable data!

Hearing this news, Ning Yu was in disbelief. He had originally thought that there might be a problem with the data. After all, he took it so easily from Ning Chen’s R & D Department, which made him a little suspicious.

“You did well this time. I’ve been thinking about applying this technology to our new product, but Ning Chen’s R & D Department was built with his own investment. I don’t want to spend so much money on R & D. After all, when it comes to R & D, you can’t just throw money at something and see a return. Sometimes, you have to depend on luck. If you’re lucky, you’ll succeed. If you’re unlucky, all the money you put in will go down the drain. This time, we received such an important research result for free, so we can use it off the shelf. No matter what Ning Chen thinks, we’re really taking advantage of his research.”

Ning Jie’s approval greatly encouraged Ning Yu, and he sat straightened his back.

With the R & D data stolen from Ning Chen’s company, Ning Jie asked the technicians in his employment to analyze and come up with a design proposal before New Year and apply the technology to their prototype and production after New Year.

Ning Yu returned to Ning Chen’s company proudly and continued working.

In less than two days, the manager of the product department suddenly resigned.

During this period of time in Ning Chen’s company, many employees resigned. After all, the employees had no power or influence. Rather than being bullied by Ning Yu, it was better to look for other opportunities. At the very least, they had some work experience in a big company like Ning Corporation, so it would not be too difficult for them to find a new job.

However, the resignation of the head of a department never happened.

Once the news spread, all sorts of theories and explanations surfaced. Some said that Ning Yu had secretly used a trick to force the head of department away. Some said that the company was already on the verge of collapse and the head of department resigned after receiving insider news, there would definitely be more people leaving the company in the future. There were also people saying the head of department left for greener pastures.

No matter what they said, it was a good thing for Ning Yu.

Now was the perfect chance for him to get promoted.

Ning Yu did not expect the sheer luck he had. After obtaining the research data, that annoying supervisor of his was now gone.

Although there was only a one-word difference between a manager and an assistant manager, in a company with clear hierarchy, the divide was prominent.

Ning Yu was the only assistant manager in the department right now. There was no reason for Ning Chen to promote somebody else over him, right?

Thinking of this, a proud and arrogant smile appeared on Ning Yu’s lips.

Two days later, the new head of deparment was announced.
