Chapter 400 Don’t Panic
When handing over the materials, the supplier representative said helplessly: "Regarding the adjustment of the construction plan, the new materials you use are expensive and the delivery cycle is long. This is very disadvantageous for our cooperation! Unless you accept a higher supply price."
Song Yang, I and others were stunned for a moment, and our original negotiation strategy was completely disrupted.
Wang Hua pretended to be anxious and whispered: "What's going on? Didn't we prepare well before?"
In fact, he was secretly delighted with his "masterpiece".
Suppliers began to question our construction plan, believing that frequent adjustments would affect the supply cycle and quality of materials, and even hinted that they might cancel the cooperation.
This has made the construction schedule, which had already been delayed due to the discovery of cultural relics, even worse.
The deal was not concluded that day, so we planned to communicate with the supplier again the next day.
In the office, I was holding the email from the supplier in my hand, brows furrowed.
The tone of the email was cold and distant, and the words revealed distrust of us.
I tried to calm myself down. At this moment, Xu Sisi knocked on the door and came in, with a hint of uneasiness on her face.
"Sister Gu, the supplier just called and said that they need to re-evaluate our cooperation and may delay the supply of materials." Xu Sisi's voice sounded a little nervous.
I nodded, saying calmly, "I understand. Go ahead and do your work. I'll take care of it."
After Xu Sisi left, I leaned back in my chair.
When I closed my eyes, all I could think about were recent events, and I gradually became irritated.
The project had already stalled due to the discovery of cultural relics, and now even the suppliers began to waver. This made me feel unprecedented pressure. At this time, I had not yet thought that someone had tampered with it.
"Don't panic, you have to stay calm."
I said to myself, and started to sort them out one by one.
Start thinking carefully about the details of your recent communications with suppliers.
Suddenly, I realized that the supplier seemed to know everything about our construction adjustments, even more than some of the people on our team. This was clearly not right.
Could it be that there are too many people recruited here, and some people who shouldn’t be here have come in?
"Sisi, Xiao Tiantian, come in for a moment."
"good."
Her family then entered the studio and asked, "Don't you think this is too coincidental? Why didn't the supplier even think of raising our price when we were talking today?"
"I have thought about it, but it's generally unlikely." Xiao Tiantian was the first to express her thoughts.
"To be on the safe side, I think it's better to check it thoroughly."
"Yes, I agree." I nodded quickly, agreeing with Xu Sisi's words.
"In that case, is there enough time?"
Xiao Tiantian asked worriedly, "Is it too late? If we don't check it out now, we can't start the work at all."
"Okay, Sister Gu, you said I'll do it. If we manage our time, we will definitely be able to handle it in advance."
"Um."
"Sweetheart, you continue to negotiate with the supplier on my behalf. This way we won't alert the enemy."
"Sisi, check with me."
The three of us looked at each other, speechless.
"Then I'll be out first."
"Me too."
As soon as Sisi and Xiao Tiantian left the office, I called Jiang Yichen and said in a hurried tone: "Yichen, I think there may be a problem within the team."
"The supplier knew too much about our construction plan, and I suspected someone had leaked the information."
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Yichen was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Yes, I have concluded that something is wrong with what happened in the past few days, but don't make it public yet, let's investigate together."
"I understand. I've already arranged for someone to check it out."
"Well, well done."
After hanging up the phone, I immediately pulled up the meeting minutes and email exchanges from recent weeks and carefully checked every possible leak point.
At this moment, Song Yang came to me with a document in his hand.
"This is the background information of the team members I just compiled. Take a look and see if there is anything suspicious."
He handed me the document, his tone steady.
"Sisi told you."
"Well, hurry up!" He handed me the information.
I took the document, quickly glanced through it, and my eyes finally stopped on a name - Wang Hua, a senior engineer of the project team.
The frequency of his recent email exchanges has been unusually high, and the recipients are all the same unfamiliar email address.
"Wang Hua..." I whispered the name and felt a chill in my heart.
He usually behaves conscientiously and can even be said to be one of the most reliable people in the team.
If he really is a spy, then our situation will be even more dangerous.
Song Yang saw my doubts and whispered, "Don't alert him yet. We can use the monitoring system to see if his recent behavior is abnormal."
I nodded and immediately called up the office's surveillance video.
Sure enough, we found that Wang Hua stayed in the office alone late at night and at noon many times.
The time spent on computer operation far exceeds the normal working period.
What's even more suspicious is that he deliberately avoided the camera every time he left.
"It's him." I gritted my teeth, feeling angry and disappointed.
Song Yang pointed at the surveillance camera and said calmly: "Now is not the time to be angry. We must deal with this matter as soon as possible and stabilize the supplier at the same time."
I looked up at him with a firm gaze: "Okay, I'll deal with Wang Hua, you go contact the suppliers and see if you can regain their trust."
Song Yang nodded, turned and left the office.
I called the security department and arranged for them to secretly monitor Wang Hua's every move.
At the same time, I transferred him from the core position on the grounds of project adjustment and temporarily arranged him to an unimportant position.
After dealing with the mole, I immediately called together the core members of the team and held an emergency meeting.
At the meeting, I said in a serious tone: "The project has encountered some difficulties recently, but I hope that everyone will not be affected."
"We will resolve these issues as soon as possible to ensure the smooth progress of the project. At the same time, I also hope that everyone will be vigilant and report any abnormal situations in a timely manner."
After the meeting, I returned to my office feeling a little more at peace.
"Sister Gu, I found out." Xu Sisi pushed the door open with a gust of cold wind. Her fingertips were still shaking as she handed me the tablet. "Wang Hua met with someone from Xinda Building Materials in private last week. The details of the construction plan they wanted... completely match the modification time of the encrypted file in his computer."
"Yes. I just checked the surveillance and found that it was him."
Another figure suddenly appeared in the glass window.
"The supplier has our adjusted concrete mix ratio and even knows the buried depth of the backup pipeline." Song Yang's voice came from behind.
