Chapter 399: 399
Isn’t that the tender Thunderbolt Corp was aiming for?!
She definitely did not send an email of any kind to Xiang Jinxi . It was almost impossible for Ge Yu to win the tender . She had studied the project earlier and judged that their company could not hope to compete with Thunderbolt Corp .
However… it seemed that Ge Yu had actually been awarded with the project!
Clearly, someone was trying to frame her .
“There seems to be a misunderstanding here . ” Lu Zhaoyang looked into Xiang Jinxi’s eyes and said . “I sent you some information about the project in the Golden Territory quite a while ago, basically explaining that it is very unlikely for Ge Yu to get the project and not to waste time on it . As for winning the bid, I believe I was framed . ”
Xiang Jinxi put down his glass and said calmly, “Even so, Ge Yu has been awarded with the Golden Territory project . Just do your best with the project and leave the rest to me . ”
“Understood . ” She hardly tasted the food she swallowed that night and felt deeply unsettled .
Lu Zhaoyang returned to her apartment after dinner without enjoying even a sip of her red wine . She had just reached her apartment block when she noticed Huo Yunting’s car behind her .
Huo Yunting had been visiting every day recently . He would have dinner with her, but also have her for supper too .
She parked her car and walked to him . He looked like his usual nonchalant self, but still she asked carefully, “You had a bad day?”
Huo Yunting put an arm around her waist and gave her a light peck on the lips .
What the… I’m being serious here…
“The project at the Golden Territory… I didn’t do it . ” She did not know if he would believe her .
The smile on Huo Yunting’s face was in direct contrast to her nervousness, but it comforted her like a view of the ocean .
After a while, he murmured quietly, “I believe you . ”

Having known her for years, Huo Yunting knew exactly the kind of person she was .
This was not her doing .
She had not even offered an explanation, and yet he believed her . She felt touched .
“I assure you that I will get to the bottom of this . ” There was no way she would allow someone to invade her computer and get away with it .
“You just focus on your job . I will take care of it . ” He guided her back to her apartment . “Any news from Lu Bai?”
“Why are you suddenly asking about him? He didn’t do this . ” She shook her head and said confidently .
“You have only known him recently . You should not trust strangers so easily . ”

“It is not always about how long you know someone . First impression is also very important . Besides, if he really visited Thunderbolt Corp knowing that you are in charge there, isn’t that just asking for trouble?” She found it hard to believe that Lu Bai was the culprit . “I haven’t heard from him still . Do you think something happened to him?”
Huo Yunting replied solemnly, “Maybe . ”
Lu Zhaoyang elbowed him in frustration . “Don’t joke around . I think of him as a friend . ”
“Stop making friends with other men . ” Huo Yunting took out the keys to her apartment . “I’ll be mad if you do . ”
Lu Zhaoyang was feeling down during her drive back home, but simply chatting with him lightened her mood .
Perhaps it was because of his unquestioning trust in her .
“Lu Bai is like a little brother . ”

He grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms . “I’m a man, I should know men better than you . ”
Lu Zhaoyang struggled free and pinched his cheeks . “You . Don’t . Anyway, I’m going to shower now . ”
“Let’s shower together . ”
Lu Zhaoyang sprinted to the bathroom and was about to close the door when Huo Yunting stopped her and easily stepped inside .
