One of the executives said angrily, "It seems that Supervisor Lu still doesn't know what's going on. The project plan you were in charge of has been leaked. The project for the international high - school is almost snatched away by others. How did you do your job?"
Yan Xia's heart skipped a beat.
She had been following up on the international high - school project in the morning. It was said that it had been snatched away at this time, and she hadn't received any hint at all. How could it be possible!
She frowned and said, "I've been following up on the international high - school project. How come I don't know that someone has snatched it away?"
"Supervisor Lu didn't take this project to heart at all, right? I think you did it on purpose."
"Everyone has made so much effort. But today, someone took an upgraded version of our plan and went to the SN Group, directly snatching this project away. I wonder how Supervisor Lu, as the person in charge of this project, is going to solve this problem and give an explanation to everyone in the company!"
The scolding never stopped.
Most of the people in the meeting room were veterans of the company. She had even contacted several of them when she was Cheng Yanxia.
Yan Xia understood the reason. Someone could take an upgraded version of their plan to snatch the project, which meant there was a mole in the company.
Yan Xia calmed her emotions and looked at them coldly. "The truth of the matter hasn't been investigated clearly yet. Do you all mean that I'm the mole?"
Her eyes swept over the expressions of everyone present. She just noticed that a person in the corner looked a bit strange.
Another person said firmly, "Even if Supervisor Lu isn't the mole, as the person in charge of the project, you're definitely responsible for the leakage of the plan! Can you bear the responsibility for losing this project?"
No one spoke up for her.
"Okay. Since everyone suspects me, I'll find out what happened and give you all an explanation."
Someone sneered, "Supervisor Lu, please be more practical. Can this project still be saved? If it can't be saved, how are you going to give us an explanation? Will you resign voluntarily? President Fang, say something. What should we do about this matter now?"
This remark successfully shifted everyone's attention to Fang Jiangyi.
Fang Jiangyi was very calm. He just lowered his head and looked at the documents.
"I believe Supervisor Lu has already figured out what to do, right, Supervisor Lu?" The way he said "Supervisor Lu" sounded more like a mockery.
Her intuition told her that if she couldn't handle this matter properly, she might really have to leave Shengshi.
Yan Xia said, "Okay. Then please give me some time. I'll handle this matter. If I can't do it, I'll resign voluntarily. At the same time, I'll compensate for all the losses of this project in my personal capacity."
After saying this, she turned around and left the meeting room, ignoring the uproar in the room.
Back in her office, Yan Xia called the person in charge of SN who had always been in contact with her. Although the other party answered the call, they also regretfully said that they had already made a decision and found a more suitable partner.
Seeing that the situation seemed to be a foregone conclusion and irreversible, Yan Xia had no choice but to call Lu Qianzhou. The call was transferred to him by his assistant.
"Third brother..."
"Miss Cheng, how can I serve you?"
This was the first time Yan Xia had taken the initiative to call him for help.
Yan Xia briefly said, "The SN project has been snatched away. The plan has been leaked. Someone took an upgraded version of our plan and went to cooperate with them. I need you to help me terminate their cooperation. Also, help me arrest a person."
Lu Qianzhou didn't ask about the process. He just hung up the phone directly.
It was originally thought that Yan Xia would surely have to work overtime in the company this time to urgently deal with the matter of the international high - school project being snatched away, find out the mole and give everyone an explanation. But unexpectedly, she still left work on time.
As soon as it was time to get off work, she immediately left the office and took the company car away.
On the 22nd floor, in the president's office, Manager Yang was reporting the situation to Fang Jiangyi.
Standing in front of the fully transparent floor - to - ceiling window, Fang Jiangyi just saw Yan Xia's back as she got into the company car and left.
Manager Yang hesitated and said, "President Fang, there's something I don't know if I should say about Supervisor Lu."
Fang Jiangyi stood in front of the window without turning back. "Since you've already asked."
Manager Yang understood. "It seems that Supervisor Lu doesn't really care about Shengshi. Such a big thing has happened, but she doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all. She can still leave work on time. I think even if she can't come up with a solution, she must have a thousand and one ways out."
Fang Jiangyi lowered his eyelids, remembering how she had vowed that she hoped to make a name for herself without relying on the Lu family's background.
If Lu Qianzhou and she had reached some kind of agreement and she entered Shengshi for some purpose, it was surely not just to fool them with one project. Or maybe Lu Sheng was just playing around. The truth of the matter was still uncertain.
After Yan Xia got in the car, Wen Liang took her directly to a certain place.
"Has the person I asked Third Brother to arrest been caught?"
Wen Liang replied, "That's where I'm taking you to meet him now."
Fang Jiangyi was really efficient.
Unexpectedly, the place where Lu Qianzhou was located was his underground casino. There were hundreds of large and small casinos in the capital, and most of them belonged to the Lu family.
She strode through the chaotic venue. It was filled with smoke. There were people gambling bare - chested everywhere, counting money quickly. Seeing such a chaotic scene, Yan Xia wasn't flustered. She walked with Wen Liang into a clean and spacious private room inside.
Lu Qianzhou was sitting in the innermost part, holding a cigarette between his fingertips. His face was in the hazy smoke, fatally alluring.
"Third brother." Yan Xia quickly glanced at the situation in the private room. The respectful people beside him should be Lu Qianzhou's lackeys.
A lackey flattered, "The younger sister of President Lu is really as beautiful as President Lu. She's simply stunning. Hello, Miss Lu!"
Lu Qianzhou reached out and flicked the ash off his cigarette, lowering his eyebrows.
"Come and sit down."
Yan Xia obediently walked over, and the lackey beside her made way.
Only then did she see a man kneeling behind the table. There were several blue and purple wounds on his face. His hands were tied behind his back, and his mouth was sealed with tape. The tape was tied so tightly that it made the flesh on his face bulge on both sides.
Seeing Yan Xia, the man immediately became excited and struggled desperately, as if he wanted to say something.
Lu Qianzhou smiled indulgently. Suddenly, he reached out and placed his palm on Yan Xia's head, saying, "The person you wanted has been brought here. You can handle him however you want."
This was the person who had avoided eye contact in the meeting room today and finally snickered gloatingly.
Every move of his had been noticed by Yan Xia. She remembered this person. He was the assistant beside Manager Yang. Even if he wasn't the mole, he must know something.
Yan Xia motioned for others to let him speak.
As soon as the tape was torn off, the man immediately burst into tears and kowtowed to Yan Xia on the ground, thumping his head.
"Supervisor Lu... It's not my fault. I don't know anything. Please let me go. I beg you. I really don't know anything..."
