After the meeting, Lu Anning was surrounded by the entire group and congratulated. Upon learning the results, the entire floor was filled with their cheers and exclamations. Lu Anning remained calm despite his joy, occasionally glancing towards Tang Jingyuan's office.
After the meeting, Xiang Yang and Tang Jingyuan went in together. She thought they would be happy too, but she saw deep worry on Xiang Yang's face.
Xiang Yang didn't seem willing to see her win!
A voice brought her back to her senses. Lu Anning turned around and saw the team leader He Xun standing in front of her.
"congratulations!"
"Thank you!" Lu Anning smiled politely, and the two of them shook hands briefly.
"I didn't expect you to be so talented. Your proposal is beautiful. Would you mind adding me on WeChat? We might have a lot of work to discuss in the future, and we could learn from each other."
"Okay." Lu An Ning agreed without thinking too much.
This group was actually Lu Anning's biggest competitor. She had been worried that her colleagues would hold a grudge against her group if they won, but she didn't expect He Xun to be the first to congratulate her and even added her on WeChat.
The two chatted for a long time before He Xun left. As soon as he left, Zhong Ling came over with a smile.
"Team Leader Lu, Team Leader He seems to admire you very much!"
“It’s just colleagues learning from each other. He’s also very good.”
Zhong Ling smiled and said "Oh" in a long voice: "You don't know, He Xun is a gentleman with a scholarly air. He is a hot figure among the young employees in our company. He is a top student and a potential stock. Many female employees like him."
Lu Anning understood what was going on, but pretended not to know: "So?"
"Team Leader He rarely takes the initiative to add members of the opposite sex on WeChat. Could he be... hehe!"
Lu Anning reached out and poked Zhong Ling on the forehead. "Don't talk nonsense! Get back to work. Although our proposal has been selected, it's not time to celebrate yet. I'll treat everyone to a meal after we win the bid."
Lu Anning's words quickly brought the team members back to their senses. The laughter stopped and everyone had to return to their seats to continue working, but they couldn't suppress the joy in their eyes.
In the office, Tang Jingyuan was not surprised by the result, and seemed to be showing off in front of Xiang Yang.
"Now, do you still want to drive them away?"
Xiang Yang frowned: "I'm not as optimistic as you. On the contrary, I'd be more worried if Lu Anning won."
Winning means that the company will use the plan made by their team. If it turns out to be as he imagined, they will be the ones who fall flat on their face at the bidding conference.
"Jing Yuan, in my opinion, we'd better prepare a backup plan. I still don't trust Lu An Ning."
"No."
Tang Jingyuan was firm in his attitude. Xiang Yang didn't want to argue with him about this, so he had to give up. When he came out of the office, his face was even uglier than in the meeting room. He glanced at everyone and his eyes fell on Lu Anning.
Lu Anning looked up and looked at him with a frank expression.
"Lu Anning, come in with me."
Everyone noticed the anger in Xiang Yang's words, and their only joy was instantly diluted.
Could it be that Vice President Xiang couldn't afford to lose? Lu Anning and Vice President Xiang had made a bet, and now that Lu Anning had won, it was understandable that Vice President Xiang looked grim.
Seeing Lu Anning follow Xiang Yang into the office, everyone was worried. With Vice President Xiang's cold and stern demeanor, he didn't think he was going to make things difficult for Lu Anning!
As soon as Lu Anning stepped into the office, Xiang Yang reminded her: "Close the door."
Lu Anning did as he was told, sensing his displeasure, and felt somewhat puzzled. When the results first came out, he was clearly surprised.
Xiang Yang looked at Lu An Ning with a cold face, and said without beating around the bush: "Don't think that you can sit back and relax just because you won this time, Lu An Ning, you'd better not play tricks under my nose. If I find out that you and Pei Chengyi are colluding to plot against Jing Yuan, I don't care what your relationship with Jing Yuan is, I will not let you off easily."
Lu Anning seemed to have heard something incredible. She looked at Xiang Yang frankly, too lazy to explain too much.
"Vice President Xiang doesn't believe me, that's fine. The innocent will be cleared, and time will tell. If there's nothing else, I'll go out and do my work first."
Leaving the office, Lu Anning ignored Xiang Yang's warning, likely because he was still resentful of Lu Zhenghao's appearance. However, since these were personal matters, she didn't need to explain too much.
If it’s fake, it can’t be real.
With the plan completed, the work of the entire team became easier, and everyone was waiting for the tense bidding meeting.
It was at this time that Lu Anning suddenly received a call from Du Man. Her voice was weak on the phone. Although Lu Anning was a little angry about what Du Man had done before, he still couldn't bear to see her when he saw her in person.
"Mom, did Dad scold you again?"
"That's just his temper. He's in a bad mood because of something going on at home. I heard you started working at a new company. Where is it? How about I come over to have lunch with you at noon? It's just me. We haven't eaten alone for a long time."
Lu An Ning was suspicious and agreed, but he couldn't help but think of the times when his adoptive mother came to see him, and his face became solemn.
