A few days later, the group went to the exhibition center. Grace didn't accompany them, but she sent several of the Montgomery family's security personnel to help the Innova Group.Some big international companies organized this cybersecurity conference. The goal was clear: research network security, find talented people, and, most importantly, show the significant influence of these major manufacturers in the field.The Innova Group's equipment was set up, and Andy had his team move it onto the site even before dawn.Usually, these conferences were for a few big international players, but this year, there was an unfamiliar name: the Innova Group.The organizers had every reason to accept their participation. Companies like the Innova Group, eager to break into the industry, were not uncommon for the organizers. Still, in the end, none of them succeeded. They hadn't even heard of the Innova Group, a small company.In the exhibition area, international manufacturers displayed vario

Eric was unaware of Jessica's desire to help him.At present, the Innova Group was occupied with configuring their equipment. While many onlookers surrounded the major corporations' booths, the Innova Group had only its staff present.After lunch, the main event commenced. To demonstrate the security of their equipment, international giants had invited top-notch white hat hackers to target their network facilities, with a primary focus on firewall devices. If the firewall were to be breached, it would jeopardize the entire network.Andy felt somewhat nervous, even though their equipment had passed verification. They were newcomers in the industry, after all."No need to be nervous. It's not a big deal if our firewall is breached. I've checked past event records, and our domestic manufacturers always ranked at the bottom. So, even if we perform poorly, we won't drop any lower," Eric reassured him.Andy forced a smile. "Eric, you have such an optimistic outlook. Our products are lik

The reporters held their microphones right up to Andy's mouth, almost shoving them inside.Andy remained calm and spoke slowly. "It is true that we have referred to the architecture of international manufacturers. But everyone in the industry knows that there's an optimal solution for architecture, and the architectures of the three major manufacturers are quite similar.""Additionally, our device's core algorithms are self-compiled, with complete intellectual property rights."Of course, since the international giants suspect us of plagiarism, they can always buy one of our devices when they are released and study them."Furthermore, if the international giants are accusing us of stealing their technology, why can't they produce a product that is even more reliable than the Innova Group's? Doesn't this seem contradictory?"His final statement completely exposed the facade of the international giants. No matter how great the Innova Group was, it couldn't have possibly stolen the m

As expected, Andy got arrested. Craig demanded money from him, or things would end badly. One of Craig's eyeglasses had broken, and the glass shards had almost hurt his eye. Such incidents could be major or minor.What rendered Elly speechless was Andy's claim that she was his family member, insisting that she pay the money. Elly had no choice but to inform Eric. Up to that point, she didn't even know if Andy had any family in Salt City.-At the police station.Andy greeted Elly with a smirk.A police officer glared at him and said, "You're laughing after hitting someone. I've never seen someone like you.""He provoked me first!" Andy insisted.While they talked, Craig arrived with a black eye."You jerk!" Craig gnashed his teeth, wishing he could devour Andy."Alright, alright," the police officer interjected. "Stop arguing. It won't solve anything. How much money do you want him to pay?"Usually, these issues were resolved privately, and they only had to file a report sinc

After parking the car, Andy entered Elly's nail salon with a cheerful smile. The salon was relatively empty, so their arrival caught Elly's immediate attention."Hmm?" Elly appeared puzzled. "Why's everyone here? It's not the weekend."She knew that the Innova Group had been swamped lately, having just triumphed over three international giants. They must be engrossed in the next phase of development. It was unusual for them to visit during regular working hours.Andy chuckled, retrieving something from his pocket and placing it in front of her.Elly looked down and saw a marriage certificate."Wow!" She exclaimed happily, "Alright, alright! That's the way!"She was actually quite pleased. Andy getting married meant he wouldn't pester her anymore, which was a relief. If Andy continued frequently asking about her well-being, she genuinely feared she wouldn't be able to resist his advances. After all, a single mother, no matter how strong, still needed the care of a partner.She ha
