After doing all this, she quickly put the folder back in place, retrieved her phone, and lay back on the rear seat, continuing to feign difficulty breathing.
At the same time, the driver rushed back with a paper cup full of hot water. Moments later, the special assistant also returned, sweating profusely.
They helped Yan Xia sit up, and according to the doctor's instructions, assisted her in taking the anti - allergy medicine. Then they nervously observed her condition.
The driver said anxiously, "Miss Lu... Maybe we should take you to the hospital."
Yan Xia replied, "No need. I'll be fine after taking the anti - allergy medicine. If we go to the hospital, it will surely bother Third Brother. He's been so busy lately. We can't let him be distracted by such trivial matters. None of you are allowed to tell him about today's incident. Do you understand?"
The main reason was to prevent Lu Qianzhou from getting suspicious.
The special assistant and the driver naturally agreed. Everyone knew that Lu Sheng was Lu Qianzhou's most beloved younger sister. They were actually worried that if Lu Qianzhou found out, he might take his anger out on them. So it was better not to tell him.
The driver drove her back to the villa. She endured the discomfort all over her body and got out of the car. After the driver left, her first thing to do was to quicken her pace and go back to export the photos from her phone.
Uncle Fu had been waiting for her for a while. When he saw the red dots all over her body caused by the allergy, he couldn't help but exclaim.
"Second Miss, why do you have so many red dots on your body? Are you allergic? Did you eat mangoes?" Uncle Fu was very familiar with her constitution.
Yan Xia waved her hand and said, "I've taken the anti - allergy medicine. It's not a big deal. Don't worry."
She quickly went to the study, imported all the photos from her phone to the computer, and zoomed in to view them. It was much clearer this way. She had obtained the entire bid plan of Changling.
With this, if Fang Jiangyi could create an upgraded version of the Changling plan, winning the bid would be a certainty.
And her becoming the vice - general manager would also be a sure thing.
Uncle Fu followed her into the study uneasily. "Second Miss, you'd better go to the hospital. Judging from the red dots on your body, this situation seems quite serious."
Yan Xia said, "I'm really fine, Uncle Fu. I know my own condition. You don't need to worry."
Seeing her so stubborn, Uncle Fu couldn't persuade her and had no choice but to let her be.
He glanced at Yan Xia's impatient look and asked, "What's going on? You came back in such a hurry. Is there something urgent?"
"I've obtained the bid plan of Changling for the Xinghai Bay project." Yan Xia flipped through the photos one by one. "I'm afraid there might be some problems, so I need to confirm it first and then give it to Fang Jiangyi."
Uncle Fu walked around to the back of the desk and looked at the content of the document with her for a while.
Uncle Fu hesitated, and finally said worriedly, "Second Miss, you obtained this plan without Lu Qianzhou's knowledge, right? If he finds out what you've done, you'll be in great danger."
They all knew Lu Qianzhou's temperament well.
This man seemed harmless on the surface, but in fact, he was extremely poisonous. If someone touched his vital point, his weakness, or crossed his bottom line, it would be like the poison taking effect.
"I've already done it. There's no turning back. Moreover, this is my only chance, so of course I have to seize it." She was silent for a moment and then said, "Lu Qianzhou is no different. He just wants to use me to achieve his own goals."
She remained firm.
After she sorted out the document into a booklet, she noticed that Uncle Fu was still waiting for her, so she asked.
"Uncle Fu, do you have something to tell me?"
Uncle Fu said, "Yes. The person I bribed revealed that recently, Mr. Lu met with the assistant who accused the old master in a private conversation. I don't know what they talked about."
Yan Xia stopped what she was doing.
What was Lu Qianzhou doing meeting that assistant? Logically speaking, he had no reason to meet him. On the contrary, he should know that Yan Xia was looking for him, as she needed the assistant's testimony more than anyone else.
"What on earth is Lu Qianzhou up to?"
Uncle Fu said, "He is a man with deep thoughts and far - reaching plans. We can't guess what he's thinking. But Second Miss, we'd better stay away from him. Apart from relying on him, don't let our own plans be too entangled with his."
He knew what was what.
Just like Lu Qianzhou's current actions, he might be harboring some other hidden motives.
Yan Xia didn't reply. She only felt that things were getting more and more complicated. She felt like she was being dragged into an abyss of no return.
The next day, she took the printed document and went straight to Fang Jiangyi's office. She pushed the file towards him.
"This is Changling's bid plan."
Fang Jiangyi looked down at the neatly arranged documents. He seemed a bit incredulous that Yan Xia had obtained the plan so efficiently. Then he looked up at Yan Xia for a long time.
He said with a smile, "Didn't Lu Qianzhou skin you alive?"
"Mr. Fang, you're not being very kind. I've gone to great lengths for our cooperation, but you're actually making fun of me and even hoping that I'll be skinned alive." She propped her hands on the table. "This plan contains all the confidential information of Changling, including the detailed bid plan, promotion plan, and implementation plan."
Fang Jiangyi nodded. "You've done a great job."
Yan Xia said, "I've done what you asked me to do. When will Mr. Fang fulfill his promise to me?"
She was referring to getting a promotion and becoming his girlfriend.
Fang Jiangyi didn't even look up and continued to look through the documents.
"What I want is for the Xinghai Bay project to fall into the hands of Shengshi. Now we've only completed half of the task. Miss Lu seems to be a bit too impatient."
Yan Xia suddenly had a feeling of being played.
But she wasn't impatient. She just said, "But by doing this, I can at least prove my sincerity and dispel Mr. Fang's doubts about me."
Fang Jiangyi suddenly laughed. "Manager Lu is joking. When have I ever doubted you?"
He was really impressed with Yan Xia. In his opinion, Lu Sheng and Lu Qianzhou had a very good relationship. Even though the elders of their two families had such a feud, their relationship didn't seem to be affected at all.
He thought that Lu Sheng wouldn't be cruel enough to do something that would harm Changling's interests. But unexpectedly, she had really done it.
To some extent, Lu Sheng was really suitable to be a ruthless businessperson.
In the business world, things were sometimes dirtier than in the underworld.
She was only interested in profit and only cared about her own interests. She didn't even hesitate to hurt her own relatives. Maybe she was really trustworthy.
After giving the plan to Fang Jiangyi, Yan Xia was still a bit nervous. She sent several messages to Lu Qianzhou to test him, but Lu Qianzhou's attitude remained the same. Obviously, he hadn't noticed anything strange.
She heaved a sigh of relief.
Now, what she needed to focus on was using Shangguan Yao, an available spiritual medium, to get close to Wang Keding and obtain the reclamation approval document.
However, this old fox seemed very vigilant and wouldn't take the bait no matter what.
Shangguan Yao often created opportunities for her, invited her to meet, and tried to get on familiar terms with Wang Keding. He was like a persistent suitor, pestering him relentlessly.
The purpose was obvious. With Shangguan Yao by her side, Yan Xia wasn't worried that Wang Keding would do anything out of line.
After all, in front of his son, he would surely restrain himself.
