"No, boss, please take another look at my proposal. I have something else to add..."

Sima Yi picked up his proposal and presented it to Xiao Guoqiang once again, firmly believing that his proposal was perfect.

Xiao Guoqiang shook his head, took off his glasses, and refused to look at the proposal again.

The secretary stepped forward and blocked Sima Yi.

"Comrade Sima Yi, you should go back and think about it carefully!"

"This is a shopping mall, not a performance hall."

The secretary spoke calmly to Sima Yi, then pulled him out of Xiao Guoqiang's office, preventing him from harassing Xiao Guoqiang any longer.

"..."

Sima Yi returned to his office dejectedly. Li Liang and the others were not surprised by his failure when they saw him return.

After all, they could tell how much of Sima Yi's claim was exaggerated just by taking a look.

"Why? I did it so perfectly..."

Sima Yi couldn't believe it. He thought his plan was perfect, so how could it not work?

"Did you guys not understand my proposal? My proposal has so many activities, what's wrong with it?"

Sima Yi looked at the people in the office and felt that there must be something wrong with their understanding.

He had a kind of self-admiration that no one knew about, and he felt that he was clearly not on the same level as them.

"Some people are so arrogant, they want to compete with our store manager Xia. Their proposals are so bad that even a dog wouldn't listen to them."

Upon hearing Sima Yi's words, someone immediately laughed disdainfully.

"What did you say!"

Sima Yi slammed his fist on the table and roared angrily.

"I'm telling you, you're aiming too high! You could have done ten events with this much money, what are these? Are you just copying our previous events?"

"Do you want to take a look at what you designed? What kind of design is this? It's just a copy of our previous filings."

"Aren't you ridiculous? Taking someone else's things and pretending they're yours to hand them over?"

"Are you out of your mind?"

The two girls in the office were the first to get angry!

Xia Lan looked up and saw them arguing. She pressed her forehead, calmly took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and continued reading her documents.

"Manager, aren't you going to try to persuade them?"

Li Liang walked up to Xia Lan and asked.

"What's there to advise? Aren't they just telling the truth? Let them argue!"

Xia Lan said calmly.

“You all saw his proposal as soon as it came out. It was a piece of work that you had previously rejected, with some of his own interpretations added. The fact that he had the confidence to put it out proves that he’s not very smart.”

"What's the point of arguing with him? Just compare the activities you did before with the ones he did, and everything will be crystal clear."

"Everyone isn't stupid; they won't fail to recognize their own proposal just because he changed his name."

Xia Lan reminded Li Liang.

Li Liang's eyes lit up, and he immediately walked over to the two girls and whispered something in their ears.

"Okay, since you say you didn't use our solution, why don't you go and show it to the leader?"

Upon hearing Li Liang's words, the girl immediately addressed Sima Yi.

"Fine, I'll go! This is my own idea, how could it be copied from you! What a joke! Let's go! Anyone who doesn't go is a coward!"

Sima Yi snorted coldly and gave them a disdainful look.

"Walk!"

Another girl sneered. The two girls, carrying their previous proposals, went with Sima Yi to see Xiao Guoqiang.

Seeing this, Li Liang and the others all followed.

Xia Lan glanced at them and continued working on her documents.

Damn it, she wanted to go see what was going on too.

But there are still so many documents to approve...

Eek.

Those who resigned themselves to their fate continued to bow their heads and correct the errors.

Xiao Guoqiang looked at Sima Yi speechlessly. It was bad enough that the plan was terrible, but he didn't expect it to be copied.

It's one thing to copy, but to copy a colleague's work is another.

It's one thing to copy a colleague's work, but to actually dare to confidently claim it as their own idea is another.

Xiao Guoqiang glanced at Sima Yi, and, not wanting to miss out on trouble, pulled all the leaders over.

This was their chosen one, their undisputed favorite. They had previously praised Sima Yi to the skies, calling him a talent that was only seen once in a century.

Now, this person's event plan is truly a genius.

It also sparked accusations of plagiarism.

If you're going to copy something, you won't copy a good one. You'll copy all the failures of others, compile them into a thick book, and turn it into your own solution.

He's truly a genius.

"What is it that you specifically asked us to come over for?"

When the group saw Xiao Guoqiang, they raised their eyebrows in confusion. This place was all his territory, so why would he need them?

"Come, come, everyone, come and take a look."

Xiao Guoqiang waved to them warmly and placed Sima Yi's proposal in front of them.

"This is an event proposal submitted by the talent you recommended. I'm sure you've never seen anything like it before! Let me show you how exceptional this talent is..."

Xiao Guoqiang smiled warmly at them.

"...Is that so? I knew Comrade Sima Yi was a talented person..."

One person, upon hearing Xiao Guoqiang's words, thought he genuinely believed Sima Yi was a talented individual and was about to chime in.

He opened up Sima Yi's proposal with one hand, and the initial agreement came to an abrupt halt.

"...What is this thing?"

After reading two pages, he flipped to the back and his expression changed.

The others immediately took the event plan, and after reading a few pages, they fell into a long silence.

"This is really a plan I came up with myself."

Sima Yi quickly explained to his trusted leader.

"Give me a break!"

The leaders pursed their lips. He was the one who rejected the two girls' proposals. He was extremely familiar with these proposals.

If you told me this was Sima Yi's idea, he would laugh.

"I sent this proposal back to them last year and made them rewrite and redo it. How come it's suddenly become yours now?"

"Didn't you see the approval document I wrote back then, which was all show and no substance?"

The group glanced at Sima Yi speechlessly, then Xiao Guoqiang smiled and said to them.

"You guys have such a good eye! This is a rare talent! The work and the plan are both so... 'excellent'!"

Xiao Guoqiang's words sounded reasonable, but to those in the know, they were nothing but blatant mockery and ridicule.

The talents they recommended back then are now slapping them in the face.

At the time, they couldn't see Xia Lan, but Xia Lan gave them an answer that was flawless.

This made Xiao Guoqiang, who had previously gone to great lengths to vouch for her, an unshakeable figure.

Unexpectedly, the tables have turned, and now they're going to overcome all obstacles to recommend and vouch for talented individuals...

It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy.

"Comrade Sima Yi, I understand your feelings, but it's really unacceptable to take someone else's plan, modify it, and turn it into your own."

Xia Lan calmly walked into the office and sat down next to Xiao Guoqiang.
