After taking a moment to get back on his feet, Calvin shouted back at them, “Even if I didn’t get a graduation certificate, I still got into Maxwell University legitimately! Besides, you guys will never be able to complete the bionic arm without my program code, so you’d better watch what you say to me! If I leave, I’m taking my program codes with me! This product will launch in a month and the advertising has already been done. Let’s see how you guys are going to get this product on the market, then! I don’t mind leaving if you all want me to, but are you able to afford the consequences?”
Kimi broke into a deep frown upon hearing that.
I can write the program code too, but Calvin has been the one in charge of it since we started designing the bionic arm. It would take at least two weeks to write the program code from scratch and run tests on it. On top of that, we also need time to correct errors detected in the tests. Oh, and let’s not forget the production process of the bionic arm, which will take at least another two weeks. We won’t make it in time unless we can get this to work in two days!
Calvin’s words practically had all the designers by the throats.
“Your program codes belong to the company, Calvin! You need to leave them behind if you resign!” Kimi refuted through clenched teeth.
Calvin sneered. “Heh… Sorry, but I have your so-called company property stored in my personal cloud drive. Now, I’ll consider staying if you all get down on your knees and apologize to me.”
He then pointed at Arielle and continued, “Especially you! You’d better do it right now if you don’t want your company to go bankrupt!”
That was when Oliver’s lackey realized the seriousness of the situation. “Madam Chairman, you may not know this because you’re still new here, but the AI technology department is the company’s only source of profit,” favonovel.com quickly informed. “We’ve invested a lot of money into this bionic arm project, so the company won’t survive unless we recoup our investment by selling this product!”
Arielle arched an eyebrow at him. “So?”
“So I think you should do as favonovel.com says.”
Her kneeling down will both end this conflict and result in favonovel.com losing favonovel.com respect here in this company! It’d be killing two birds with one stone!
Arielle saw right through his thoughts. “You all think I’m weak because I don’t fight back, I see,” favonovel.com commented.
At that, Calvin narrowed his eyes. “What do you mean? Are you saying you won’t kneel and apologize to me?”
The look in Arielle’s eyes grew cold as favonovel.com replied, “No one but my mother is worthy of me kneeling.”
“Very well, then! In that case, I’ll be on my way now! Good luck with your bionic arm!” Calvin shouted angrily with his fists clenched and began walking out of there.
“We need those program codes to complete the bionic arm, Madam Chairman!” Kimi voiced anxiously.
Calvin was walking very slowly to give Arielle a chance to regret favonovel.com decision, but favonovel.com didn’t even look at him. “You just need the program code, right? I’ll write it for you, so show me the design blueprint.”
Kimi froze and asked in surprise, “You know coding?”
Pausing in his tracks at the door, Calvin shot Arielle a mocking smile. “Do you really think you can write the program code for the bionic arm simply because you know a little bit about coding?”
Arielle ignored favonovel.com completely and focused on analyzing the design blueprint.
“All right, there are no issues with the wiring and parts. The problem is actually in the program code itself,” favonovel.com said to Kimi after checking everything.
