Chapter 10 Fixing It

• Facing the pressure and warning from Ronan, Davina felt a wave of deep panic.
• The rumors from outside were indeed true; their CEO was truly ruthless.
• If she were fired today, it would have an irreparable impact on her career.
• In the entire AI industry, perhaps no one would dare to hire her again.
• Her future hinged on her efforts in these past few hours, for better or worse.
• Quickly gathering her thoughts, Davina replied, "Mr. Fenwick, I'm really sorry this issue wasn't caught in time. But I assure you, I'll closely collaborate with the tech team, giving it my all to fix this glitch and ensure the project gets back on track. If we can't solve it today, you won't need to fire me—I'll resign of my own accord."
• Her voice trembled slightly, but her gaze showed determination and resolve.
• In reality, she could have easily shifted blame to the tech department to absolve herself, but she didn't.
• Taking responsibility herself surprised Ronan somewhat.
• Though he didn't show it, he couldn't help but admire her courage and sense of duty.
• "This is your last chance; make the most of it," Ronan said lightly.
• The elevator opened on the 5th floor.
• Davina and Ronan walked out together, heading to the temporary office their company had rented.
• Inside, a group of tech staff were gathered, nervously discussing the issue.
• When Ronan and Davina entered, all eyes turned to them.
• Greetings were exchanged before they resumed their discussion.
• Charlie hurried over, briefing them on the current progress of the repairs. "We haven't pinpointed the root cause yet, but don't worry—we have a general direction and believe we'll soon identify the issue and fix it."
• A hint of displeasure flashed across Ronan's face as he prepared to address the team, but Davina suddenly stepped forward.
• She turned to Charlie and said, "Gather everyone in the conference room, bring the program's code and data. I'll discuss it with everyone. Within two hours, we must find the program flaw and solve this problem!"
• "That's great. With you on the case, I believe we'll soon identify the program loophole."
• Charlie responded, understanding Davina's intention perfectly. He turned and immediately got to work.
• Ronan raised an eyebrow. "You understand programming?"
• Davina nodded. "Yes, Mr. Fenwick. You can trust me; I'll handle this."
• She didn't waste words, heading straight into the conference room without even sparing Ronan a glance.
• Ronan watched Davina expressionlessly, maintaining a reserved attitude towards her computer skills.
• Inside the conference room, the technical staff had gathered, their faces showing anxiety and tension.
• Davina walked up to the whiteboard, standing before everyone with a firm voice. "Let's all calm down. We're facing a serious technical issue, but if we work together, I believe we can solve it."
• She began a detailed analysis of the system's algorithms and data, proposing many constructive ideas and solutions.
• Beyond theory, she personally led the team through a series of experiments and analyses, gradually narrowing down the problem.
• Under Davina's guidance, everyone exchanged ideas, collided with each other's thoughts, and continuously iterated and improved their ideas. This created a harmonious and positive work atmosphere within the entire team, significantly boosting productivity.
• After repeated tests and trials, Davina finally pinpointed a potential issue.
• She quickly analyzed the relevant code based on this issue and proposed a modification plan.
• The tech team implemented her plan and conducted comprehensive testing.
• This time, the system resumed normal operation.
• Davina's solution was validated, and the loophole was fixed.
• They succeeded!
• In an instant, the entire conference room erupted in cheers and thunderous applause.
• Everyone expressed their appreciation and gratitude to Davina, acknowledging her crucial contribution during this critical moment.
• Davina breathed a slight sigh of relief, feeling a bit exhausted as she sat down in her chair.
• In reality, she had pushed forward driven by sheer determination, without absolute certainty of solving the problem.
• But she knew deep down that she had to resolve it no matter what, because she needed to earn money and couldn't afford to lose this job.
• At the doorway of the conference room, Ronan stood quietly, observing everything.
• He acknowledged that Davina's leadership skills were quite impressive, and she had remarkable achievements in the technical field.
• Especially her spirit of not giving up and facing challenges head-on, this attitude touched him.
• He walked over to Davina, saying calmly, "Well done."
• With Ronan's approval, Davina felt a slight relief. "Thank you, Mr. Fenwick."
• "We'll continue to work hard to ensure the project's stability," she continued politely and professionally.
• Ronan responded with a brief "Hmm," then turned his gaze sternly towards the others in the room.
• "This technical failure happened due to your negligence and lack of diligence in your work. Therefore, there will be no bonuses for any of you this month. Everyone is to submit a self-criticism report to me before leaving for the holidays!"
• Ronan's voice was cold as he concluded, then swiftly left the conference room.
• Everyone exchanged glances, feeling a bit aggrieved, and began to grumble about Ronan's severity.
• Watching the team's dissatisfaction, Davina calmly spoke up, "Everyone, compared to losing our jobs, losing bonuses and writing self-criticism reports are relatively lenient punishments. I understand you may have grievances, but this technical failure was indeed caused by our negligence. Mr. Fenwick's strict demands are meant to urge us to reflect, improve, and prevent similar mistakes in the future."
• Her voice was firm and steady, aiming to calm the team's discontent.
• As they heard Davina's words, everyone gradually calmed down, realizing the truth in what she said.
• Seeing that complaints had ceased, Davina's lips curved slightly upwards. She stood up and said, "Alright, the problem is solved, and everyone has worked hard. Tonight, let's go to Vermilion District for barbecue, my treat!"
• Her proposal brightened everyone's mood instantly, filling the conference room with a relaxed atmosphere.
• Unnoticed by anyone, Ronan stood expressionless at the doorway.
• He had returned to assign some tasks and overheard the employees complaining about him behind his back.
• Known for his strictness and exacting nature, he wasn't surprised by their dissatisfaction.
• However, he hadn't expected Davina to defend him, and a subtle mix of emotions surged within him.
• There was surprise and gratitude, intertwined in a complex way.
• At the same time, Davina's balanced approach of firmness and gentleness towards her subordinates also gave him some insights.
• He realized that occasionally listening to employees' needs and fostering good communication with them was also important.
• With these thoughts, he suddenly walked back into the conference room.
