Chapter 20 The project is handed over to Li Ruochu
Li Ruochu has always known that Gu Qiuying and Shen Yubai's mother Lin Yin have a very close relationship. After all, the Gu family has been very kind to Shen Yubai.
If Gu Qiuying hadn't been abroad all these years, given Lin Yin's love for her, Shen Yubai and herself would probably never have been able to get married.
Now that Gu Qiuying is back, Lin Yin is naturally delighted and is trying to find a way to bring them together.
This time, in order to please Lin Yin, Gu Qiuying took the initiative to use materials from her mother's family.
She was immersed in the fantasy of pleasing her elders and did not consider at all that this project was of utmost importance and concerned the reputation of the three companies.
If any mistakes are made, the reputations accumulated by the three companies over the years will be destroyed.
Gu Qiuying's stupid behavior undoubtedly made Shen Yubai lose face.
Just as he was thinking, Chen Chen hurried over with a cautious look, stood in front of Li Ruochu, bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "Madam, Mr. Shen asks you to go to his place."
When Chu Xi heard this, her eyes lit up instantly, like the stars that suddenly twinkled in the night sky, and she said excitedly: "Sister, look, isn't the project here?"
Chen Chen glanced at Chu Xi, then turned his gaze to Li Ruochu, hesitated for a moment, and still couldn't help but remind her: "Madam, Mr. Shen's face doesn't look good, you should be careful when you go in!"
When Li Ruochu heard this, he snorted with disdain, with a hint of sarcasm: "I didn't offend him, why is he angry with me? What a moron!"
After saying that, she walked outside with brisk yet somewhat stubborn steps.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Ruochu walked to the door of Shen Yubai's office, he saw Gu Qiuying walking out.
Gu Qiuying's eyes were red and tears were welling up in her eyes, like a flood that could burst the dam at any time.
As soon as she saw Li Ruochu, a flash of anger flashed across her eyes, and her eyes seemed to be able to spit fire. She said viciously: "Li Ruochu, you are so proud now, the project will be given to you soon, you just came here to laugh at me, right!"
Li Ruochu showed no weakness, his chin slightly raised, a smug smile on his face, his tone full of sarcasm: "Yes, you are right, I am very proud, I just came to see your joke, who told you to cut corners, you deserve it!"
In the construction industry, cutting corners is the most taboo thing. Once it is exposed, even if there is only a small problem, the company's reputation will drop sharply.
By then, who would dare to work for their company?
"You!" Gu Qiuying was so angry that her face turned red, her chest heaving violently, her hands clenched into fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh.
She opened her mouth, but was choked and unable to speak. She could only glare at Li Ruchu fiercely.
Then he shook his head and walked away angrily.
Li Ruochu raised his hand and gently pushed open the office door. In an instant, a suffocating low pressure hit him in the face.
She was slightly startled, then took a deep breath, quickly put on a standard professional smile on her face and walked into the office, her voice clear and respectful: “Boss Shen, you are looking for me.”
At this moment, her back was straight, and her eyes were distant and polite, as if she and Shen Yubai were just ordinary superiors and subordinates.
Shen Yubai sat behind a large desk, his brows furrowed, his face as gloomy as the sky before a storm.
He raised his eyes to look at Li Ruochu, his lips moved slightly, and his voice was low and suppressed: "From now on, you will take over Gu Qiuying's project."
When Li Ruochu heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, secretly complaining: Chen Yubai only knows how to throw this mess to me to clean up.
But she still maintained that innocent look on her face, pretending to show a puzzled expression, tilting her head and asking: "Isn't Miss Gu doing well? Why did you give it to me? Is Mr. Shen trying to make me hate you?"
Shen Yubai's brows furrowed even deeper, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and his tone became heavier, as if he was trying his best to suppress his inner anger: "She is not suitable for this project. I will arrange other work for her. This project is left to you. Don't let me down."
His voice was like a cold command, echoing in the quiet office.
At this time, Feng Yizhou, who had been sitting on the sofa beside him, moved slightly. He raised his head slightly and said, "Secretary Li, I was wrong before. Gu Qiuying is indeed not suitable for this project. I wonder if Secretary Li is willing to pay for my mistake?"
When he spoke, he had a seemingly decent smile on his face, but behind that smile, there seemed to be a hidden deeper meaning.
Li Ruochu looked at Feng Yizhou, his eyes slightly focused.
She stared into Feng Yizhou's eyes, a complex emotion welling up in her heart.
At this moment, no matter how simple and naive she was, she could see the clues from Feng Yizhou's words and actions. This man's previous actions were clearly intentional.
He seemed to have anticipated the current situation and was waiting for Shen Yubai to hand the project over to her personally.
Li Ruochu couldn't help but secretly marvel in his heart: Can this man predict so far? Or is it that all the things that happened before were controlled by Feng Yizhou behind the scenes?
Just as Li Ruochu was lost in thought, Chu Yanzhen stood up, cleared his throat slightly, looked at Li Ruochu with a meaningful smile on his face and said, "Is Secretary Li so happy that he has gone crazy? I hope we can cooperate well in the future!"
He paused slightly, glanced at Shen Yubai, and continued, "My brother is not sensible, so please ask Secretary Li to take care of him more. However, I promise that he will not make any principled mistakes."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Yubai's face instantly became even gloomier, and he was obviously very angry about Chu Yanzhen's words.
Li Ruochu was secretly happy, and she couldn't help but praise Chu Yanzhen's sharp tongue in her heart.
But she quickly calmed down and said at the right time: "Since the three CEOs think highly of me, I will give it a try."
"In that case, we'll leave first!" Feng Yizhou stood up slowly. His movements were elegant and calm. His long legs took each step steadily and powerfully, and he walked quickly towards the door.
Chu Yanzhen nodded slightly to Shen Yubai, still with that polite smile on his face, and then followed Feng Yizhou out.
For a moment, only Shen Yubai and Li Ruochu were left in the office.
In the quiet and somewhat strange atmosphere, Li Ruochu coughed awkwardly.
She turned slightly and said to Shen Yubai, "Mr. Shen, if there is nothing else, I will leave first!" After that, she was ready to turn around and leave.
"Wait!" Just as Li Ruochu turned around, Shen Yubai suddenly called her loudly.
His voice seemed particularly abrupt in this quiet space, and scared Li Ruochu.
Then, Shen Yubai slowly stood up, his steps were a little heavy, and he walked towards Li Ruochu step by step.
When he walked behind Li Ruochu, he suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged Li Ruochu tightly from behind.
Li Ruochu was frightened by this sudden action and trembled all over. His eyes widened instantly and his face was full of fear and surprise.
She struggled subconsciously, using both hands to pry Shen Yubai's arms, and shouted loudly: "Shen Yubai, what are you crazy about!"
