Database deadlock.Connection pool exhaustion.Memory overflow.Gateway timeout.He recognized those terms and generally knew what they meant, but he had absolutely no idea how to fix them.Because the underlying core logic of this entire system had been written entirely by Valerian, and Tristan had never even understood it in the first place.“I... I don’t know how to do this!” Tristan’s voice carried a whimper as he clasped both hands over his head. “The underlying logic is completely messed up! The data format returned by the interface doesn’t match the documentation at all... I can’t find the entry point, I can’t find it…”His voice grew softer and softer, eventually dissolving into meaningless muttering.Nathaniel snapped up from his chair and rushed to the console, pushing Tristan aside with one sharp motion while his fingers flew across the keyboard.He tried to activate the backup failover plan to reroute the traffic, only to discover that all the core interfaces refer

“Is this what you called an ‘industry-leading technical team’?!”He pointed at the metrics on the main display, his hand trembling uncontrollably—not from fear, but from raw fury.“Let me ask you, how long has it been since the sale started? Eleven minutes! Eleven minutes, and every line is completely dead!“Do you have any idea what this means?! An eighty percent user drop-off rate! Eighty percent!”Leonidas’s legs buckled, and he nearly collapsed on the spot. He managed to stay upright only by grabbing onto a nearby server rack for support.He could feel Alexander’s glare scraping across his face like a blade, and he could smell the complex scent radiating from him—a mix of high-end cologne and furious sweat.“Mr. Whitaker, Mr. Whitaker, please let me explain…” Leonidas’s voice was dry and raspy, like coarse sandpaper rubbing together. “It’s just a minor technical glitch. Our engineers are…”“Engineers?” Alexander let out a cold laugh, his gaze sweeping over Tristan huddled in

The phone rang abruptly.I picked it up and looked at the screen—the caller ID showed Adeline Lancaster.I couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.Right now, less than half an hour had passed since the launch of the Mid-Year Mega Sale.Knowing the sheer fragility of Lumina Tech’s system, a traffic surge like that meant guaranteed collapse.For Adeline to call me at a time like this—you didn’t need a brain to figure out what she wanted.I didn’t rush to answer. Instead, I picked up my coffee and took another sip, letting the bitter, lingering sweetness slowly unfold on my tongue.Only then did I press answer and switch it to speakerphone.“Valerian!”Adeline’s voice came through sharp and breathless, like a drowning victim clutching at their last straw.Even so, there was still a condescending edge to her voice, as if reaching out to me was some grand favor she was doing on my behalf.“Consider yourself lucky! Mr. Sterling has decided to let bygones be bygones. If you come back

“Mr. Sterling, let’s trace this back from the very beginning.“Three months ago, I worked until three in the morning to fix a database deadlock. The next day, you gave me a C on my performance review, claiming I ‘wasn’t proactive enough.’“Two months ago, you rejected my algorithm architecture, claiming it ‘didn’t align with company strategy.’ But behind my back, you handed my design drafts to Tristan so he could apply for the internal innovation award.“One month ago, Adeline called me in to say the company was struggling and that my pay would be cut by forty percent.“When I refused, she froze my full-time status, withheld my bonuses, and rallied the entire office to isolate me.“Last week, while I was on leave, you cleared out my workstation, changed my code repository permissions, and even tried to steal the code off my personal laptop using remote scripts.“When I applied to resign, you docked my final month’s salary under the excuse that I ‘maliciously deleted company asset

“Our group’s legal department has already completed the rights verification for his algorithmic model, and we’ve purchased the exclusive rights to use it for one point two million dollars.“If you wish to use it, fine—prepare a licensing fee of three million dollars, bring your corporate credentials and official seal, and go through the proper channels with StarNet’s legal team.”Mr. Thornton paused briefly, his voice turning noticeably colder.“In addition, I forgot to mention that my company’s legal department is currently preparing to file a lawsuit against Lumina Tech for its long-standing unfair business practices and repeated attempts to misappropriate our employee’s trade secrets.”“No... wait... Mr. Thornton, that’s not what we meant…” Leonidas’s voice warped, twisted into a pathetic plea. “Mr. Thornton, please let me explain…”Mr. Thornton gave him no further chance.He hung up the call directly on my behalf, and then—He added the number straight to the blacklist.“We

On the eighth day after the conclusion of the Mid-Year Mega Sale, Lumina Tech officially filed for bankruptcy liquidation.The court notice was posted right on the main doors of the company—stark black text on white paper, stamped with a vibrant red seal.Building management promptly changed the locks.The unpaid wages and severance compensation for over forty employees vanished into thin air.As for Leonidas Sterling, he went from being a Porsche-driving, mansion-dwelling industry heavyweight known as “Mr. Sterling” to a penniless, blacklisted debtor.His Porsche was towed away.His river-view mansion was put up for court auction.His credit cards were canceled.His online payment accounts, social wallets, and bank accounts were frozen solid.Even his daughter was forced to transfer schools after he could no longer afford the thirty-thousand-dollar annual tuition at her private university.Adeline Lancaster’s fate was hardly any better.When a wall crumbles, everyone gives

I sat in the audience in a sharp suit with my tie neatly pressed, the group’s top employee badge pinned to my chest.Up on the main stage, the host called out my name over the microphone.“—The recipient of the Annual Highest Technical Contribution Award goes to our Chief Architect, Valerian Jude Westbrook!”Thunderous applause erupted across the hall.I stood up from my seat, surrounded by the genuine smiles and enthusiastic applause of my colleagues.No one was jealous, no one scoffed, and no one was trying to trip me up from behind the scenes.Because at StarNet Technologies, there was only one single metric used to evaluate a person—pure talent.If you had what it took, you earned your place.If you had what it took, you deserved the recognition.I had what it took, which was why I stood here today.I walked onto the stage and accepted the heavy crystal trophy directly from Mr. Thornton’s hands.The spotlights beamed down on me, almost blinding.The three thousand faces
