Wang Houliang gave a wry smile.
As Qiu Yihe thought, if Jiang Cheng's identity wasn't special,
This phone call wouldn't be a request or communication, but a direct order for Jiang Cheng to attend a meeting.
"Young Master Jiang, please speak," Wang Houliang quickly responded, his attitude quite respectful.
Jiang Cheng paused slightly, then continued, "However, the profits I just mentioned can be set aside in the face of national righteousness."
After he finished speaking, a clear gasp could be heard from the other end of the phone.
And Qiu Yihe's eyes, as she looked at Jiang Cheng, held an indescribable brilliance.
She had heard every word he said during the call clearly.
She had originally thought that someone like Jiang Cheng, who possessed core technologies capable of shaking the global market, would prioritize commercial interests, perhaps even using them as bargaining chips.
But his remark, "in the face of national righteousness, these profits can be set aside," was like a pebble dropped into her heart, stirring ripples.
Jiang Cheng couldn't see Wang Houliang's expression, but he saw Qiu Yihe's expression clearly.
He couldn't help but curve his lips into a smile.
Originally, Jiang Cheng didn't want to put on this act.
He actually agreed with Wang Houliang the moment he said it.
Although Jiang Cheng didn't deny that money still held a certain appeal for him.
He still knew the relative importance of such matters.
But unfortunately, Qiu Yihe happened to return.
Recalling her longing expression when she visited the Security Bureau last time, coupled with Jiang Cheng's understanding of her,
Someone with her sense of national righteousness would definitely be touched if she heard Jiang Cheng was willing to give up his own interests.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Qiu Yihe's favorability value towards Jiang Cheng instantly reached 90 points.
Qiu Yihe: favorability value +2!
Not bad, not bad, this act was done right.
Recalling the pair of red bowls from earlier, Jiang Cheng felt his 'Squeeze' skill was somewhat thirsty.
Wang Houliang responded anxiously: "Young Master Jiang, your meaning is..."
"I agree to technical sharing," Jiang Cheng's voice was steady and powerful, "but on one condition."
Wang Houliang suddenly held his breath and quickly said, "Please tell us! As long as we can do it, we will definitely fulfill it!"
"It must be ensured that all participating personnel will not leak data. Everyone who comes into contact with the core technology must undergo the strictest political review and confidentiality training."
"Everyone involved in the joint technical research and development must sign the highest level confidentiality agreement. Neither core data nor design drawings, not even the parameters of a single component, can be leaked in the slightest. Whoever dares to leak it, I don't care who is behind them or what their background is, they must pay the price."
Qiu Yihe was just raising her water cup when her fingers trembled slightly upon hearing this.
She looked up at Jiang Cheng, her eyes flickering with complex emotions.
As an Anti-drug Police Officer, she understood all too well the choice of sacrificing personal interests for the greater good.
She had disregarded her family's objections, given up a comfortable and stable job opportunity, and insisted on wearing a police uniform, choosing the most dangerous position as an anti-drug officer.
Her family didn't understand, and her friends didn't agree, thinking that as a girl, there was no need for her to risk her life with desperate criminals.
But she knew in her heart that someone always had to stand up to protect the peace of this land, and someone always had to sacrifice something for the words "home and country."
Over the years, she had seen too much life and death, and suffered too many grievances, sometimes feeling tired and lonely.
But at this moment, looking at the man's calm profile, she suddenly felt that she was not fighting alone.
It turned out that there really were people, like her, who gently placed things that others considered incredibly important after the greater good of the nation.
This silent resonance added a warmth she had never felt before to her gaze towards Jiang Cheng.
"This... this is a given!" Wang Houliang's voice rose by an octave with excitement. "The Security Bureau will be fully involved and establish the highest level of confidentiality mechanisms!"
Currently, only a few countries possess this technology.
Now, our Huaxia has finally acquired some core technical data thanks to Jolins.
Once it's leaked, Huaxia's advantage will be diminished.
"Excellent! I'll report this to the higher-ups immediately!" Wang Houliang's voice was filled with joy. "Young Master Jiang, I thank you on behalf of the nation for your righteousness!"
After the call ended, the restaurant fell silent for a moment.
Jiang Cheng picked up the water cup in front of Qiu Yihe, then went to the kitchen to pour her another glass of water.
He pushed it towards Qiu Yihe, his voice much softer than when he was on the phone: "Drink more water after taking the medicine."
Qiu Yihe held the water cup and asked softly, "Are you really willing to share such important technology?"
Jiang Cheng sat opposite her, his gaze profound: "Some things are more important than profit."
He paused, "Just like you chose to be an Anti-drug Police Officer."
These words struck Qiu Yihe's heart like a heavy hammer.
Although this wasn't the first time Jiang Cheng had affirmed her, Qiu Yihe's eyes still felt warm, and she quickly lowered her head to hide her composure.
In this materialistic era, how rare it was to meet someone who also prioritized national righteousness.
