Chapter 394 Reputation Collapse
"I just received a notice that the review team asked us to add a detailed analysis report on the social benefits of the project," he put the document on the table, his tone calm but with a sense of urgency, "Time is tight, it must be submitted before the day after tomorrow morning."
I frowned, feeling a little stressed, but nodded: "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to start preparing right away."
Jiang Yichen walked up to me and whispered, "Thank you for your hard work. I know everyone is tired, but this is the last hurdle and we have to make it through."
I looked up at him and forced a smile: "Don't worry, we won't let you down at this time."
For the next two days, the team worked almost non-stop.
Jiang Yichen and I took turns to ensure that every piece of data and every document was double-checked. The whiteboard in the conference room was filled with to-do items, and every time we completed an item, we would cross it out, as if we were getting closer to the finish line of victory.
Finally, late at night the next day, we finished all the supplementary materials. I bound the last document and handed it to Jiang Yichen: "All the materials are ready, take a look at it again."
Jiang Yichen took the document, read it carefully, and then nodded: "No problem, you can submit it."
I let out a long sigh and slumped down in the chair, as if all my strength had been drained away at this moment. Jiang Yichen walked over to me and patted my shoulder gently: "Well done."
I looked up at him, with the corners of my mouth slightly raised: "This is the result of the efforts of all of us."
He nodded, with a hint of approval in his eyes: "Yes, everyone in the team should be proud of it."
The sky outside the window was already slightly bright, and my body was exhausted.
"I feel a little dizzy." I stood up suddenly, holding on to the stool next to me.
"Are you okay? You must have a good rest today." Jiang Yichen said in a commanding tone.
"Yes, Sister Mo, Xiao Tiantian, Lin Xiaoxia and the others are here with me, so don't worry."
Xu Sisi, who was sitting not far away, heard the noise and hurried over, speaking worriedly.
"Let's go," Jiang Yichen picked up his coat and said in a relaxed tone, "You go to sleep first, I'll call you when you wake up."
I stood up and nodded, feeling that my body really couldn't take it anymore: "Okay, let's go."
The moment I walked out of the office, the wind was cool, but it also made me feel extremely clear-headed.
When I woke up the next day, I found that Jiang Yichen had left early. During this period, he was not only busy with company matters, but also with project matters. I opened my phone and found that he had left me a message early.
"Wife, remember to eat breakfast. I'll come over when I'm free in the afternoon. Song Yang's problem will be solved soon."
This guy is quite attentive, but Song Yang’s brother is indeed not easy to deal with. While thinking about this, I prepared myself and arrived at the office early.
"Sister Mo, you are here."
Xu Sisi was looking at the computer and stretched her head to greet me from afar.
"Yes, how's the progress?" Xu Sisi didn't continue speaking.
I feel the mood in the office is getting low today.
I turned around and asked someone else, and unexpectedly he took out his cell phone and gave me the card, which contained news about the demolition.
"how so."
Suddenly, my mind went blank. The sound of typing could be heard and no one dared to speak at this time.
Suddenly, Song Yang came into my sight. He came here to solve this matter today.
"Have you seen this news?" I asked with a questioning and angry look.
"Look, don't rush. He has no evidence. Now it's just the netizens' suspicions that are louder. Our core interests have not been actually damaged. What about the government documents?"
I pointed to the information in front of me and responded calmly: "It's all here, but there's still one thing that hasn't been processed yet."
"It's okay. I found a few people I trust today. There will be no problem in solving it today."
He rushed to me and handed the information to the remaining few people.
"So what does your brother say?"
"Let's go inside and talk. It's not convenient here right now."
He motioned for us to go into the room and talk.
After arriving at the room, he said, "Eighty percent of the news was released by him, but we cannot rule out the possibility that some people who don't like us did it."
"You're right, but..." I paused, "They are trying to force us to death!"
I gritted my teeth and said, with anger and anxiety in my voice that I couldn't hide. This move was really too cruel. They actually instructed someone to anonymously report our data fraud at the critical moment of the project review.
"So we have to hurry up, otherwise it will be difficult for our people in the government to do their job."
"That's true, but in the end it's up to everyone."
"Gu Mo, I really didn't make a mistake about you."
"Don't worry," he said in a low and calm voice, with a rare calmness, "I have asked someone to investigate. As long as we can prove that the report is a false accusation, the review can continue."
I turned my head and looked at him. Song Yang's face didn't show much expression, but his eyes were deep and firm.
He seemed calm and composed, as if the crisis before him was nothing more than a trivial matter to him.
"But time waits for no one," I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. "Once the review is interrupted, the progress of the project will be slowed down, or even shelved completely. The Song family's move is clearly intended to completely eliminate us."
"I understand. But there's no point in being anxious now. We must respond calmly. I've asked someone to check the source of the report. As long as we find evidence, things will turn around."
In the following days, we worked almost non-stop on the investigation. Song Yang used all his resources to trace the source of the report letter to the whereabouts of the eldest son of the Song family.
I am responsible for keeping the team's emotions stable and ensuring that the project can proceed normally even if the review is interrupted.
Finally, late one night, Song Yang called.
"I found out." There was a hint of fatigue in his voice, but more of it was relief.
I immediately stood up from my chair, my heart beating faster: "How is it?"
"The eldest son of the Song family was indeed behind all this." Song Yang's voice was calm and clear. "He used a middleman to instruct a former employee of the laboratory to anonymously report our data fraud. We have found that employee, and he is willing to come forward to testify."
I breathed a sigh of relief, as if a huge rock pressing on my chest had finally been lifted. "Great! With this evidence, we can prove that the report was a false accusation, and the review can continue."
"Not only that," Song Yang's voice was cold, "I also found out about his improper operations in other projects. He used his family's influence to suppress competitors many times, and was even suspected of bribery and market manipulation. Once this evidence is made public, his reputation will completely collapse."
