Chapter 97 Jealousy Think carefully...
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Qi Hanmu is the one who is most likely to help her and help her the best.
But after seeing him, Xia Yiqing did not dial the number immediately. Her fingers froze for a moment, and then she slowly scrolled down to the letter "h".
"Happy".
Xia Yiqing finally dialed the number.
Su Huanhuan was probably busy, as the call lasted almost half a minute before she answered. Her voice didn't sound tired, but rather a bit excited. "What's the matter, Qingqing? Did you have some contact with that person last night, and are you continuing your contact today?"
Knowing that her words were pouring cold water on others, Xia Yiqing had no choice but to speak anyway.
"Huanhuan, this is what's going on. We're having some issues with our partnership with the Chen Group. Do you have anyone you can speak to at the Chen Group?"
When it came to business, Su Huanhuan softened her casual demeanor, becoming more serious and capable. After all, she was the only daughter of the Su family. "Of course, no problem. I'm a little busy here. I'll give you the person's contact information. You can contact him, okay?"
Xia Yiqing was already a little embarrassed about taking up Su Huanhuan's time, so she naturally wouldn't refuse. "Okay."
After receiving this call, the team members were in an uproar.
Because they were at Chen's place, they were too embarrassed to make a fuss. Everyone was like an angry goldfish, with drooping eyes and downturned mouth corners, like a lost dog.
"Why do everyone have such expressions?" Su Huanhuan said that she had a say, which meant she could directly decide Chen's decision. This project was not a big deal for Chen, so Xia Yiqing felt relieved.
"Hasn't Chen signed a contract with anyone else yet? Then we still have a chance. The most urgent thing is,
"We first need to find out who submitted the proposal and why there is suddenly a proposal that doesn't belong to us."
Xia Yiqing speaks with reason and logic, and her voice is like a spring breeze, alluring and pleasant, which can unconsciously make people let down their guard.
A young man said sadly, "Boss Xia, they already despise us, how can we possibly sign a contract?"
Only one person complained, and the rest of the complaints poured down like a flood that had been released from a dam, and it was almost out of control.
This time, Xia Yiqing did not stop like she did before. She kept a smile on her face and waited quietly until everyone had finished speaking before she spoke slowly.
"I know everyone has complaints. This plan is the result of everyone working overtime. No one wants to see this result.
"Then we should find out who caused this consequence, so that he won't succeed again even if there is a next opportunity."
Fang Yue heard the hidden meaning and was surprised. "Boss Xia, do you have someone who can speak with you over there?"
"This matter is still uncertain, but there may still be a chance," Xia Yiqing never liked to say anything absolute.
"I will find an opportunity to submit this plan again. Now, can anyone tell me who was responsible for delivering the documents at that time?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a moment of silence at the scene. Fang Yue was swept by Xia Yiqing's sharp eyes. He frowned and looked a little embarrassed, but he still said it after all.
"Mr. Xia, it's Lao Luo."
Lao Luo is the oldest member of Fang Yue's team. It's not that he is very old, but he has stayed in this ancestral clan the longest and has a lot of experience. He is considered an elder in the Xia family.
If we were to ask who would do something that would damage the company's reputation, Lao Luo would probably be the first one to be excluded.
It would not be a good thing to cause unpleasantness on someone else's territory. Xia Yiqing waved her hand and asked everyone to return to the Xia family and make the final decision on this matter.
The ride back was even more depressing than the ride there. The driver, who was in charge of the pick-up and drop-off, saw that each of them was more depressed than the last, so he didn't dare to respond and could only drive seriously.
Back in the conference room, Xia Yiqing pulled out chairs and asked everyone to sit down. She put her right leg on top of her left leg and leaned back. Her whole aura increased and her words became more convincing.
"Lao Luo," Xia Yiqing lowered her voice. Although she didn't mean to accuse him, it made people feel a little scared.
"Tell me about what happened that day. I think everyone is eager to hear it."
Lao Luo is worthy of being an old employee. Even though everyone cast suspicious eyes on him, he did not cast a resentful look at Fang Yue, but stood up calmly.
"Boss Xia, it was indeed my oversight. I left the plan at my workstation after receiving it that day. After returning from lunch, I sent it to Chen's without checking it."
Everyone was very quiet, the conference room was so still that you could hear a pin drop, but everyone was looking at Lao Luo with dark eyes, not knowing whether they were accusing him or wanting a result.
Xia Yiqing did not give others the opportunity to misunderstand Lao Luo, or give Lao Luo more opportunities to quibble.
She simply waved her hand and asked Fang Yue to go to the security department to retrieve the surveillance video from the workstation at that time.
After all, many things can be revealed by checking the surveillance footage. Of course, you can't just retrieve the security department's surveillance footage whenever you want. If you don't have the guarantee of the president or someone above you, the security department will never give you the footage even if they kill you, because too much privacy is involved.
As for whose privacy it is, it is unknown.
The moment the surveillance video started playing, Lu Guangzong in the corner turned pale, his lips trembled, his fingers nervously bent back and forth, and his knuckles were bent back hard.
With a "crack", Lu Guangzong's fingers made a strange sound, but no one paid much attention to it. Instead, they stared at the figure on the surveillance camera.
When Xia Yiqing saw Lu Guangzong's face flash by, she found that she was not too surprised.
It was just like a few things in my head suddenly connected together.
Before the plan was finalized, Lu Guangzong's disdainful expression, and after the plan was finalized, the way he intentionally or unintentionally belittled Fang Yue's plan, actually indicated one thing.
This person is dissatisfied with the plan and does not agree with the decision to use it.
The team members had worked with Lu Guangzong for a long time, so they naturally recognized him. When they discovered that the trouble was caused by internal strife, some people slammed the table in anger.
"Lu Guangzong, you've gone too far! We didn't guard against you because we thought you were a newcomer. I never thought you would do this secretly!"
The usually timid Lu Guangzong suddenly seemed to have transformed into some kind of man-eating monster, baring his bloody fangs to everyone, "Yes, it's me. How can a woman like her stand in that position? That position originally belonged to me!"
The man who questioned Lu Guangzong was stunned. "What are you talking about? We are talking about you adding a plan!"
Seeing that the man didn't understand, Lu Guangzong became even more furious.
When people get angry, they lose their rationality. In his rage, Lu Guangzong fully demonstrated his patriarchal ideology from the countryside, "Why did that woman Fang Yue steal my position as team leader?
"Her proposal is obviously not better than mine. Why did you vote for her? It should have been my proposal that was signed. You are the ones holding me back!"
After Lu Guangzong finished speaking, the conference room fell silent. Only Xia Yiqing retained her rationality and asked the security guard to come and ask this person who symbolized glory to be asked to leave.
Even after being pulled out of the meeting room, his voice still echoed outside, as if to call on his fellow “compatriots”, “Women shouldn’t be in high positions. Why should you submit to women…”
The employees who remained in the conference room became visibly more depressed, and Xia Yiqing stood up.
"If you are so easily influenced, then go with him," she shook her phone, and the pearl earrings did not move at all, like two pendants that could calm people's hearts.
"It's strange that you can trust what this kind of person says - well, everyone go do your own thing."
Like lambs hearing the shepherd's instructions, everyone scattered again, like stars scattered around, returned to their workstations, and became ordinary people again.
Xia Yiqing contacted someone from the Chen Group and found out that she knew the person on the other end.
Chen Wen, the president of Chen Group and the only son of the chairman, was actually the one who answered his call at Quanshanju not long ago, a friend of Su Huanhuan.
He asked to talk to Xia Yiqing alone and told her not to be too formal. He made an appointment with Xia Yiqing to meet at a Western restaurant.
When Xia Yiqing received Qi Hanmu's call, she had just added Chen Wen on WeChat and was about to talk in detail.
"Hello," Xia Yiqing answered the call despite seeing it was Qi Hanmu. Her voice didn't express any emotion, but the voice on the other end hinted at a hint of anticipation.
"When will you be back tonight? I'll ask Luo Miao to pick you up."
Qi Hanmu was so excited that Xia Yiqing answered the call that his hands were still shaking unconsciously. However, he was sitting at his desk and didn't notice much. His heart was just beating fast, as if he was expecting something.
Having said that he would not disturb Xia Yiqing's life, Qi Hanmu really did not send anyone to follow Xia Yiqing, so naturally he had no idea what she had experienced in the afternoon.
So before making this call, Qi Hanmu was certain that even if Xia Yi didn't answer, she would come back for dinner tonight.
Unfortunately, Xia Yiqing was silent for a long time before replying in a tired tone.
"I'm sorry, I have a work dinner tonight and can't go home to eat with you. Eat a little by yourself. If you can't eat more, don't force yourself."
Xia Yiqing's voice was still so gentle, and even the meaning revealed in his words was that he was thinking about Qi Hanmu.
But Qi Hanmu's heartbeat suddenly thumped and he was confused.
A work dinner?
Why hadn't he heard of it? And why didn't Xia Yiqing tell him in advance?
If Xia Yiqing had told him in advance, he would not be like this, sitting at home foolishly waiting for her to come back.
Qi Hanmu tried his best to suppress his temper, warning himself that if he continued to be in a bad mood, Xia Yiqing would only dislike him even more. "Are you all going to dinner together as a company? Where are you going?"
This was a bit too private, so Xia Yiqing frowned slightly.
If it were someone else, she would probably reply, "Are you free?"
But the person opposite him was Qi Hanmu.
The nature of this is different.
Xia Yiqing didn't know what was different about this matter, but her intuition told her that Qi Hanmu might just want her to coax him.
Thinking about it, she really had ignored him the whole afternoon. Although it was work, Xia Yiqing decided to soften her attitude first. "I'm not eating at the company, I'm eating with the person in charge of another company."
"Both men and women."
