She was caught off guard by the comment . After awhile, she tried to reply casually, “It doesn’t have to be like that . You can always cook instead while I sit around and wait . ”
“Please don’t . Even I don’t trust my own cooking . ”
He had never done any kitchen work since the day he was born .
For once, the couple enjoyed a moment of peace .
They savoured the comfort of each other’s company and also the action in bed later that night .
The next day, Lu Zhaoyang was engrossed in her work when someone opened the door to her office .
She looked up and saw Xiang Jinxi, who had been away for some time . Behind him, Assistant Qin An was carrying a bag .
“President, how can I help you?” She stood up and greeted him .
Xiang Jinxi said without much expression, “I bought a little something for you while I was away . ”
Qin An placed the bag on her desk .
“Thank you . ”
Xiang Jinxi nodded and then asked, “Is there anything urgent that I need to know about operations?”
“Nothing . All our projects are going smoothly . ”
His concern for the company made her feel a little unsettled .
“How is our collaboration with Thunderbolt Corp going?”
“It’s all good . We have no issues . ”
Xiang Jinxi seemed to be scanning his surroundings idly, but his attention never left Lu Zhaoyang .
If she sent the email, she would not be so calm .
It seemed that someone was trying to use her .
The document was secured with Thunderbolt Corp’s proprietary encryption technology . It took him a long time to decrypt it . All these suggested to him that the document was genuine .
Since she knew nothing about this, he should just take advantage of the situation .
If he succeeded, he would be able to deliver a blow to Huo Yunting and sabotage his relationship with Lu Zhaoyang .
It did not matter if he failed . It was just a tender . He had his sights set higher than this .
“Bring me the documents that I need to sign . ” Xiang Jinxi left after the reminder .
“Okay . ”
Lu Zhaoyang was perplexed by his visit . She stowed away the gift and began to compile the papers .
What a strange day today…
A few days later, in Thunderbolt Corp’s internal meeting room .
“We spent so much effort to secure the project in the Golden Territory, and now it was awarded to some no-name company . What was it called, Ge Yu? What the hell, they tendered with only one percentage point lower in costs compared to us . Anyone can see that they were competing directly with us!”
“We must launch a thorough investigation into this matter!”
“President, our company has been collaborating with Ge Yu recently . It is suspicious that such a small company could win a tender that we have been gearing for . Something is definitely up . This concerns the company’s interests . We ask that you uncover the truth behind this!”
The higher-ups were all worked up as they demanded Huo Yunting to investigate .
Sitting at the end of the table with his eyes half-closed, Huo Yunting stared at the document lying in front of him . It was their proposal that lost against Ge Yu .
Even if the board did not request it, he would investigate this incident .
The people around him spoke louder and louder . He looked up at them and said, “What’s the rush? It is only a project . Thunderbolt Corp is still here . ”
One of the higher-ups said, “This is more about a spy within the company than the project . The project at the Golden Territory was supposed to be our main project this year, but now it is awarded to someone else . We have to consider the morale of our staff and more importantly, the future of this company . The spy must be found and removed from the company!”
