The resignation procedure was like a cold slap in my face. Rena's voice was filled with endless disappointment and anger: "I handed the company over to you with peace of mind, is this how you repay me? Jason, you disappoint me so much!"
"This turmoil caused the company's market value to evaporate by one billion yuan, all because of the impact of your proposal!" Her words were like a sharp sword, piercing my heart.
I didn't argue like I did before, but just nodded calmly. "If you don't believe me, I have nothing to say, I'll just leave." My words revealed helplessness and determination.
She didn't try to persuade me to stay, but just frowned and sighed. However, as soon as I walked out of the company, Rena called me. "Jason, are you really going to leave this mess behind? Can you have a sense of responsibility? Leave the detailed handover content, future plans, and the plans for all projects in my office tomorrow morning!"
"From now on, just focus on taking care of your son at home. You don't have to worry about the company's affairs." I hung up the phone in silence, but when I looked up, I saw Bowen walking towards me with my son in his hand.
When my son saw me, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes. "Dad, you are so mean. You have ruined Mom's company! If it weren't for Uncle Bowen 's help, it would have been ruined!" His words pierced my heart like a needle. Before he finished speaking, he muttered in a low voice: "You always force me to study. Dad, you are so stupid yourself, you are not worthy of teaching me!"
Bowen pretended to be angry and said, "Ethan, don't talk about Dad like that. Apologize to Dad." But Ethan snorted indifferently and turned to Bowen and said, "Uncle Bowen, I'm standing up for you. Dad caused this trouble, and now you have to bear the consequences."
Bowen shook his head helplessly, looked at me and said, "Jason, children only say things without restraint, don't take them to heart." I smiled at myself. The two of them looked more like a pair of real father and son.
" It's okay, I don't care." I said lightly. Ethan rolled his eyes at me and pulled Bowen away. I didn't look back and strode away.
Three months ago, Rena handed over the AI technology that I had worked so hard to plan to Bowen without my consent . After he took over, I was kicked out of the project team. Two months later, Bowen officially launched the AI tool, but due to its immature training, it caused a variety of negative political effects, causing the entire company to fall into a public opinion storm.
Rena 's first reaction was to find me. "You knew there was a hidden danger, why didn't you tell me in advance? Do you know that this problem can completely bring down the company?" she questioned. At that time, I had been sidelined for two months, and I had almost no idea what happened in the company. But all the mistakes were still pushed onto me.
At the apology press conference, I was pushed to the forefront. Rena and Bowen just looked at me coldly from the audience, and the reporters' indignant questioning left me with no way out. I could only cope with it reluctantly, answering those sharp questions with the most official words without any loopholes. But I actually don't know the truth.
Finally, I only made a general promise: "Qiyun Technology will definitely give everyone a satisfactory answer." But after the press conference, Rena questioned me: "Can you afford this answer?" Even my son pointed at me and said with contempt: "Dad is useless, everyone hates him."
I was stunned for a long time until Rena sighed and said in a hoarse voice: "This turmoil is ultimately due to the influence of your AI project. In order to suppress public opinion, you can only be sacrificed. You should resign and go home first. The company has me and Bowen . When the heat has died down, we will see what to do in the future."
I said in a deep voice: "The AI project will be taken over by others. Why should I take the blame if something goes wrong?" Rena said impatiently: "You can't tell who is right and who is wrong. The most important thing now is to keep the company."
I argued with her and had countless arguments. The evidence was clearly placed in front of her, but she ignored it all. Until that day, Ethan pouted and said to me: "Dad, you have to admit it if you do something wrong. Uncle Bowen is such a gentle person, he will never lie. Mom told me that Uncle Bowen is a doctor and you are just an undergraduate. You can't be better than him. If he is wrong, it must be your fault."
My heart suddenly turned cold. It turns out that right and wrong cannot be determined by words, and right and wrong are determined by the judge's heart. And Rena, she never wanted me to win.
