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

Before Eric could reply, Jessica continued. "If I had known this was your company, I would have arranged a top-notch booth for you. Hang on, I'll set it up right now.""That's not necessary," Eric said as Jessica took a step. "This location is fine."Jessica felt a little embarrassed. Eric was the first person to turn her down, not just once. She glanced at Sylvia, feeling like she was out of her league. Did Eric love Sylvia for her looks?Jessica couldn't be sure. To ease the awkwardness, she asked, "What's your equipment for?"Eric didn't respond, but Andy was eager to explain. Finally, someone was showing interest in their products."This is the Innova Group's first product, a network firewall. It's essential for big corporations and network operators," Andy quickly clarified."Oh," Jessica replied, realizing she didn't understand this stuff."Perhaps our company could use it. If you launch your products, let me know. We could give them a try," she suggested.Andy was thrill

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

Reporters quickly approached the Innova Group, marking the start of their public attention. This was a success for the Innova Group as they hadn't been the first to face a breach, and their firewall remained untouched, affirming its security.This was the first time a domestic company had achieved such results. Before the reporters could conduct interviews, news had already spread online. It hinted at a domestic firm's emergence as a competitor to international giants, whether in the context of global expansion or rivalry.Soon after, a second international manufacturer fell victim to cyberattacks, causing widespread unease.Among the international giants, someone questioned, "Where did their technology originate?"At that point, benchmarking was crucial, and the fact that two major international manufacturers were compromised before others was quite embarrassing. They had always boasted about their advanced and secure equipment.However, the Innova Group used this moment to chall

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

Javier seethed upon seeing the comments about the Innova Group in the news. They claimed the Innova Group would dominate the domestic industry, breaking the international manufacturers' monopoly. There were also analyses of the domestic market, which was valued at tens of billions.This stirred envy in Javier. Could the Innova Group become a massive empire? A formidable one? Javier dared not imagine such a future. He was determined not to give the Innova Group the time and space to flourish.-On the flip side, Andy contained his excitement. He had expected the Innova Group to succeed, but not to this extent.With hard metrics surpassing those of international giants, everything else could be standardized. Mass production and market deployment would commence once all the test facility data was available and some improvements made. Perhaps they would also move forward by segmenting product models and defining price ranges.The Innova Group's employees packed their equipment overnig

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

Andy was furious and exclaimed, "That jerk claimed that Elly knows him inside out, and he knows Elly just as well. How can I tolerate him? If he ever says such things in front of me again, I'll punch him, no doubt!"Elly said, "When you see him, just stay away."Andy didn't grasp Elly's point. "Why should I avoid him? Why should I hide? That guy is upset because things are going well between us!"Hmph! He suddenly realized your worth and wants to return after a divorce? No way!""Whatever," Elly casually replied.She knew Craig and was certain that Andy would ultimately face significant losses because of him. Since Craig was almost broke, he would undoubtedly target Andy after receiving 3,000 dollars as compensation.Elly didn't say much. After all, it wasn't her money.-When Eric dropped her off at the nail salon, she realized it was time to pick up the boys from school.Andy chuckled in the car.Eric asked, "What's so funny?""I thought Elly would ignore me. But when she
