Chapter 257 Chapter 257: Competition
'The reason I was able to enter Dream Zero ahead of time was thanks to Keyji's wealthy second-generation connections, which allowed me to bridge a connection with the Black Fire Gang and make a "Black Dream" transaction at the Night Charm Bar.'
'Afterward, with 86 cracking the Black Fire Gang's dream terminal, I got not only a "one-time" login anchor for Dream Zero but unexpectedly gathered some intelligence. I myself didn't expect to gain access afterward when 86 had cracked the Black Fire Gang's dream terminal'
These people of the Black Fire Gang really did not have any good intentions. While selling Keyji the Black Dream, they also inserted a backdoor into the dream terminal of Keyji and implanted a virus program. As soon as Keyji wore it, these viruses could creep into his electronic devices.
Then, as long as Keyji gets in Kael Technology again, the Black Fire Gang can rely on the body of Keyji to steal inside Kael Technology especially during the press conference two days later.
From what was decrypted by 86 from the meeting records of the Black Fire Gang, their ultimate purpose is to sabotage this press conference even to snatch the brand on the spot!
Before this, Renji was not so sure to set foot into Dream Zero so early again, thus he temporarily put this intelligence aside.
But now.
"86, can you further specialize these program viruses? Then change the setting such that they are unable to recognize who is the person wearing it."
'Well, I'm just jumping into the wagon since the Black Fire Gang is also targeting the press conference of this case. So, I'm going to assist them by leaking the intelligence of Kael Technology'
'This way, the bigger the commotion Black Fire Gang causes at the press conference, the better for me. I can use them even as my scapegoat to let not just snatch the brand but also open and above board in Kael Technology'
An idea quickly formed in Renji's mind.
Of course.
The main reason why Renji would still instruct 86 to modify the setting "wearer's" was that he doesn't want Keyji to bite on this matter. After all, such a plan was apt to evolve into a shootout later on.
And their intentions were very simple.
"Eh? You are Doctor Renji, yes? Long heard of your great reputation. Your several papers have been a big help to our group's project. I wonder if we could invite you"
"Dr. Renji, it's an honor! Our group has a topic that I think fits you perfectly. What do you think?"
"Please, can I have some of your time Dr. Renji? if you join our project then our minister has promised to give you more 30% resources from the company's highest-level laboratory. His contact is...."
"Doctor Renji is so young! How to go to Night Charm for a drink after work today? I'll invite you, but it's just the two of us alone~. Just want to have some in-depth chat with you "
Eileen glared and scared away the woman who was crazily flirting with Renji, still angry as a tigress. As for the woman? She treated her like air.
This small incident alone completely made clear to Renji that competition inside Kael Technology is severe.
The reason so many people are seeking him out now is definitely not a coincidence.
Apparently, the news of William having successfully poached from Sin City had somehow leaked out and thus this is why most people within the company were waiting in the lobby specifically for scholars like him who joined the company only yesterday.
This class of scholars is normally easy to spot because like Renji, they dress in their own style and hence do not put on company work then go, therefore standing out in the crowd.
Renji remembered that Lena's fake resume for him was modest enough, medium but so many people were rushing out to recruit him in their projects so openly, it shows that this is not a united company. Different factions and even each project are not really friendly at each other.
Where there are interests - in fact, there is competition. The resources and positions in the company are limited, and all of them want to climb up in the company, so open internal strife should be doomed to occur.
'Maybe this may grow into an ace that I could make use of in the future...'
Silently planning to pay more attention to the factional composition inside Kael Technology regarding his activities, Renji finally managed to escape from the crowd and took the main elevator for the research department under William's management.
As soon as Renji put a swipe at the entrance, he heard Professor Einstein considering "an old master" of the ancient academic world of Sin City to be leading far ahead of first assistants and other scholars in a heated discussion about Emperor Ashen.
