"Is there a traitor among us?" Seeing that Brother Ma pointed at his nose and spoke, as if accusing Zhang Zhidong of being the traitor, Zhang Zhidong couldn't help but pick up the document. In an instant, he was filled with rage, almost fainting along with Brother Ma.
Indeed, if Zhang Zhidong were Brother Ma, he would also suspect himself of being a traitor.
This was because the document recorded the latest announcement from OO, the main content of which was as follows:
[To enhance the experience of all OO users, OO will launch a brand new Fengshen Bang system, allowing all users to witness their growth firsthand and feel heartfelt joy for their progress.
Specific rules are as follows.
Users who log in daily and remain online for over 1 hour can obtain 100 Xian Yuan. For every subsequent 10 minutes of continuous online time, they can receive 5 Xian Yuan, with no upper limit.
Users' Xian Yuan will automatically increase their cultivation level. Obtaining 100 Xian Yuan allows entry into the Foundation Establishment stage, activating the Foundation Establishment badge and granting 1 Xian Seal. Accumulating 9 Xian Seals allows entry into the Golden Core stage, activating the Golden Core badge. Upon collecting another 9 Xian Seals, users can enter the Nascent Soul stage, activating the Nascent Soul badge. The current cultivation level cap is Nascent Soul Nine Seals; further cultivation levels will be gradually opened. Please explore the specific Xian Yuan required to advance cultivation levels.
Different cultivation levels of users will be directly displayed as badges at their avatar. This display effect cannot be hidden and is visible to everyone.
When users activate different badges, they will gain various special functions.
The Foundation Establishment badge will allow users to unlock the emoji pack function, with OO providing 108 different OO emojis to help you vividly express your moods and emotions.
The Golden Core badge will activate the status display function, allowing users to choose between three different states: Online, Invisible, and Do Not Disturb. In the Invisible state, users will appear offline to everyone. In the Do Not Disturb state, users who chat with you will receive an automatic reply, indicating that you are currently unable to chat.
The Nascent Soul badge will activate the ?? function, stay tuned.

"Could there really be a traitor!" After reading OO's announcement, Zhang Zhidong couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Zhidong, you must investigate thoroughly and see if there is anyone from OO in your team!" Brother Ma had already sobered up and said fiercely while looking at the document in Zhang Zhidong's hand. Zhang Zhidong could even feel a murderous aura emanating from Brother Ma, an aura never before seen from the usually gentle Brother Ma.
It seemed Brother Ma was truly furious.
Of course, Brother Ma firmly believed that Zhang Zhidong had not betrayed him, because Zhang Zhidong had no reason to do so. With his abilities, he could directly work for OO and receive a high salary, there was no need for such underhanded tactics.
Therefore, the problem must lie within Zhang Zhidong's team. Those responsible for this development, as well as the few who knew about this update, were all key suspects.
"Boss, I will investigate!" Zhang Zhidong nodded.
"Forget it, you don't need to investigate!" Brother Ma suddenly shook his head. "It's not that I don't trust you, but you are too kind and cannot understand the wicked intentions of people. I will find professionals to investigate. You just need to make sure your subordinates cooperate. As long as they are not traitors, there will be no problem!"
"Alright!" Zhang Zhidong did not object. The issue was indeed too serious this time. This QQ feature was still under confidential development, and only a very small number of people knew about it, yet OO had released it ahead of schedule.
This was different from QQ Voice. The QQ Voice feature was a planned function that almost everyone at Tengda knew about, and outsiders were also aware that OO had beaten them to it, so it was not surprising.
However, this QQ leveling system was a top-secret matter. The idea had only been conceived less than two months ago, yet not only had OO stolen it, but they had also released it ahead of schedule. This indicated that the leak occurred when Brother Ma announced the development task to the R&D team, and OO had then rushed to develop it.
Thinking of this, Brother Ma couldn't help but resent Zhang Zhidong.
Even if Zhang Zhidong was not a traitor, he certainly had not dedicated himself wholeheartedly to the task or completed it at full speed. Otherwise, why would OO, which was supposed to be a step behind, be able to launch its product earlier?
This must be due to Zhang Zhidong's lack of effort!
"Zhidong, I can't wait three days. You must immediately have someone write the update announcement. The QQ leveling function must be launched tomorrow!" Brother Ma was anxious.
"Yes!" Zhang Zhidong nodded without refusal. He understood that this matter could not be delayed and he had to abandon his plan to sleep tonight and continue to push all the R&D department staff to work overtime.
Of course, the main reason was that the launch work was basically completed, and what remained were various testing and preparation tasks. Even if these tasks were not done, they would not affect the product launch, it would just result in some bugs. But they couldn't afford to worry about that anymore.
"Hmm!" Brother Ma's expression became colder. Zhang Zhidong's easy agreement suggested that one day was perfectly fine, but he had previously said it would take three days. Wasn't this a sign of passive resistance?
QQ's lagging behind was all Zhang Zhidong's fault!!
Brother Ma's mood worsened, but he wouldn't throw a tantrum at Zhang Zhidong at this time, as everything depended on Zhang Zhidong now.
"Perhaps we should recruit more people!" Brother Ma was contemplating when he suddenly heard a concerned voice from behind him asking, "Brother-in-law, you look so unwell. Did something bad happen?"
Brother Ma turned around and saw his sister-in-law looking at him with concern.
"It's nothing!" Brother Ma forced a smile. "I just encountered some shameless thieves. Brother-in-law is fine, but I can't accompany you on a tour of the company. Please let the front desk lady accompany you. Brother-in-law needs to work!"
After speaking, Brother Ma left his sister-in-law behind and returned to his office to contemplate the follow-up matters.
"Sister, who made brother-in-law so angry?" Looking at the front desk lady who came to accompany her, the sister-in-law asked curiously, with a shared sense of indignation.
"It must be Jiangnan Group, it must be that Huang He!" Now everyone at Tengda harbored deep hatred for Huang He, even the front desk lady. She said indignantly, "It seems Huang He has copied our ideas and designs again. He's a shameless scoundrel. Not only does he like to plagiarize our work, but I also heard he seduced his sister-in-law and even ran away with her..."
The front desk lady continued to speak, forgetting that the person beside her was also a sister-in-law.
