Soon it was the day for project bidding.

Wen Yu came to Chen Yuan's office and invited her to go to the bidding site. As the three of them arrived at the door, they happened to meet Xi Yan getting out of the car.

"Boss Wen, Boss Shen." Xi Yan smiled and looked at the two of them, his eyes full of meaning, "We meet again."

"Mr. Xi."

Wen Yu stretched out his hand and shook hands with Xi Yan, knowing that Xi Yan was here today to bid for the project.

Then they are competitors.

Xi Yan nodded slightly at him, then looked at Chen Yuan again, with a smile in his tone, "Boss Chen, can I have a word with you for a moment?"

Shen Yuan pursed her lips slightly and looked at Wen Yu, who nodded at her, "Then I'll go in first."

He brought Nan Jia in first, leaving only Chen Yuan and Xi Yan at the door.

"What are you going to say?" A hint of alert flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes, and he followed Xi Yan to the corner.

"Of course it's about what happened before. What have you thought about it?" Xi Yan said straight to the point. "The Wen family is here today, presumably for the project. I just don't know what leverage the Wen family has..."

He said this very directly. Shen Yuan looked up at him and said softly, "I have no comment on the project. We both rely on our own abilities."

"If you're alright, I'll go in first."

Chen Yuan smiled faintly and left first, not noticing Xi Yan's inquiring gaze behind him.

Xi Yan also came in.

Wen's was determined to win the bid for this project, but unexpectedly someone showed up and the bid finally went to Xi's.

When the results were announced, both Chen Yuan and Wen Yu were shocked, but they remained expressionless.

Only Nan Jia, who was just a small assistant after all, was so frightened that she could hardly control her facial expressions.

"Boss Wen, Boss Shen, what kind of bottom price did Xi Group use? They actually took the project away at the critical moment!"

As she spoke, she looked towards Xi Yan curiously, but saw that Xi Yan had just looked over at her, and she was so scared that she didn't dare to look anymore.

She quietly reminded, "Boss Shen, Boss Xi seems to be looking at us."

Hearing this, Chen Yuan looked in the direction where Xi Yan was sitting. As expected, she met his smiling eyes, but there was a light hidden in those eyes that she could not understand.

Wen Yu, on the other hand, was much more open-minded. He stood up and said, "Let's go. It doesn't matter if we lose the project. In business, there are gains and losses."

Chen Yuan nodded and stood up. The three were about to leave when they were stopped by Xi Yan and his group.

"Mr. Wen, I won this bid, but the cooperation between Xi's and Wen's won't end. I plan to work with Wen's on this project. What do you think, Mr. Wen?"

Xi Yan has extended an olive branch, so there is no need to worry that Wen Yu will not accept it.

Wen Yu pondered for a moment and decided, "Tomorrow I will go to Xi's to discuss cooperation with President Xi in detail."

This project is already beneficial to the Wen family, and now that the Xi family has taken the initiative to propose cooperation, there is no reason for him to refuse.

"Then I look forward to Mr. Wen's arrival tomorrow." Xi Yan said as his eyes fell on Shen Yuan, who was quietly but unbearably quiet beside him. He suddenly smiled and said, "Is Mr. Chen coming too?"

Chen Yuan said in a businesslike manner, "It would be disrespectful to refuse Mr. Xi's invitation."

"Yeah." Xi Yan smiled and left with a full load. "See you tomorrow."

Shen Yuan and his group returned to Wen's company. Not long after they sat down, they were told that a high-level meeting would be held.

Wen Yu also received the news that the news that they failed to grab the project had spread in the Wen family. Many people used this to attack Chen Yuan, saying that she was a traitor.

Because of the unclear relationship between her and Xi Yan.

Nan Jia was a little anxious and ran over to remind Chen Yuan, "Boss Chen, everyone in the company said that you leaked the bottom bid price for Boss Xi, which allowed Boss Xi to intercept you halfway. Now the senior management and company employees are very dissatisfied with you. Please wait..."

"The innocent will be innocent. I won't do anything like leaking the bottom price." Chen Yuan straightened his back and spoke clearly, "Nan Jia, we can't start doubting ourselves just because someone else questioned us. Let's go prepare for the meeting first."

To be fair, Nan Jia didn't have the same strong mentality as Chen Yuan. She couldn't hold it in when she heard someone in the company talking about Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan is such a good person that he would give her the chance to be with Wen Yu.

It's not fair for such a good person to suffer so much unfair treatment.

As soon as Shen Yuan arrived at the conference room, she received questioning looks from all sides. She pretended not to know and stepped into the conference room.

"Mr. Shen, are you still embarrassed to come?"

Someone made a sarcastic remark.

Shen Yuan gave her a strange look and asked, "Why are you embarrassed to come? This is a high-level company meeting. As a member of the company, it is reasonable for me to attend the meeting."

"Tsk." The female CEO rolled her eyes. "Don't think the company doesn't know what you've done. This project was lost because of you. You have no right to sit here anymore."

"Yes! This project is very important to the Wen family, but you let it fall into the hands of the Xi family. Now the Xi family is suppressing us. How do you do things?"

"If you really were having an affair with Xi Yan, you could have just resigned from the Wen Corporation and joined the Xi Corporation. There's no need to be a double agent here."

"Chen Yuan, you disappoint us so much."

…

Where someone takes the lead, others will follow.

For a moment, the conference room was full of questions about Shen Yuan. They all disliked her and believed that the reason they did not win the bid for this project was because of her.

Without any reason, all the responsibility was put on her.

Chen Yuan listened to what everyone said, and the corners of his lips curved slightly in sarcasm. "I didn't do anything to betray the Wen family, and I won't go to the Xi family. I have nothing to do with the Xi family. Please stop talking nonsense."

"Who would believe that? You and Xi Yan were photographed at the entrance to the bidding fair, and you two were even trying to avoid talking to President Wen."

"Chen Yuan, if you know what's best for you, resign and leave the Wen family. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"

"Why bother talking to her? The higher-ups are suspending you now. Go back and don't come to Wen's anymore."

Everyone was talking at once, not hearing what Shen Yuan said at all, and made the decision on their own.

"You have no right to suspend me." Chen Yuan looked at everyone coldly, feeling inexplicably like he had no way to defend himself.

They wouldn't take anything she said seriously.

One of the more senior executives looked at Chen Yuan and said forcefully, "This is a notice. You have been suspended. Please leave the meeting room now."

Shen Yuan took a deep breath and was about to speak when Wen Yu, who had arrived late, chimed in, "There's no such thing as a pre-determined bid for a project. It's not Director Shen's fault that we didn't get the bid. Please don't look at this with prejudice."

Wen Yu is a real member of the Wen family, and his words are much more effective than Chen Yuan's.

He spoke up for Shen Yuan, and everyone lowered their voices. "Boss Wen, you can't deny that Shen Yuan and Xi Yan are having an affair, right? The Wen family won't want another traitor as their head anyway."
