"What a mess their project team made! Every sentence in their summary statement for today's bidding process hit Liujin's boss's sore spots. I have no idea who did this!"
He scanned everyone: "Nobody admits it, so do you expect me to take responsibility? I put you all in charge of developing this plan, and this is the mess you've made!"
Shang Wu had been listening in silence until now before speaking: "Since we've lost the project and there's no way to salvage it, let's find a new partner. I'll handle this."
"You, you can find someone to take over?" Zhou Yanci asked, somewhat taken aback.
Even he couldn't think of a good candidate for the time being, let alone Shang Wu.
Shang Wu smiled and said, "I can't guarantee that we can find it immediately, but we can try. It's no use scolding them now. I'll take them back and come up with a backup plan within two days and contact the partner again. Is that okay?"
Her voice was gentle, her emotions were stable, and the way she spoke was inexplicably reassuring.
It was like a stabilizing force, directly suppressing Zhou Yanci's anger and preventing him from continuing his outburst.
Zhou Yanci pinched the bridge of his nose. It felt incredibly good to have someone who could back him up in a critical moment.
He nodded, finally revealing a slight smile: "Alright, Awu, I trust you to handle this matter."
Everyone relaxed without prior arrangement.
Shang Wu gave them a wink, signaling them to leave first.
Everyone was eager to escape.
Shang Wu went around behind Zhou Yanci again and rubbed his forehead.
"Don't worry, this is for the best. The CEO of Liujin is petty and will refuse to cooperate if he says the wrong thing. Even if we win the bid, there may be a lot of trouble. It's better to choose another partner."
With her reassurance, Zhou Yanci's emotions finally stabilized.
He took Shang Wu's hand and kneaded her smooth, soft fingertips.
"Awu, what will I do without you? What will happen to Chengzhou Group?"
A cold glint flashed in Shang Wu's eyes, and she said softly, "Then you'd better never offend me, because I hold grudges."
Zhou Yanci smiled with her eyes closed, taking it as a joke, and showed a relieved smile.
"Of course, I will stay with you, love you and spoil you."
Shang Wu withdrew her hand and said calmly, "Then you rest first, I'm leaving."
Zhou Yanci leaned against the table, looking at her with satisfaction: "Tomorrow night is your birthday, how do you want to spend it?"
Shang Wu paused for a moment: "The company has been busy lately, I don't have time to celebrate my birthday. Let's forget about it."
"No, I want to celebrate your birthday."
Zhou Yanci stood up and said with a light laugh, "You choose the restaurant and the gift, and I'll take you out to eat later."
Shang Wu felt a sense of repulsion; the thought of having dinner with this hypocritical enemy made her feel nauseous.
She nodded reluctantly and left the president's office.
As soon as she stepped outside, Shang Wu received a phone call.
She didn't see clearly and answered with a less-than-friendly tone: "Who is it? What's up?"
The other person paused for a moment: "What have I done to offend you recently?"
Shang Wu was taken aback. She held the phone away from her eyes and realized it was Lu Rang.
She composed herself and said, "No, I'm just a little upset. Is something wrong?"
"Madam Li entrusted me to help Li Chengzhang with his lawsuit. Li Chengzhang asked me to try my best to meet with you no matter what. Do you want to meet him?" Lu Rang asked.
Shang Wu almost forgot about it for a moment.
Li Chengzhang, that despicable man, is probably so wronged he wants to die. He also knows that she was the one who set this up from beginning to end, which is why he can't wait to meet her.
Shang Wu scoffed, "If he wants to see me, I'll grant his wish. See you in an hour."
Just as she was about to hang up the phone, Aying, who was walking towards her, ran over excitedly.
"Director Shang, I'm taking tomorrow off. This is a birthday gift I prepared in advance for you!"
Shang Wu glanced at the gift box tied with a bow in her hand, casually hung up the phone, took it, and smiled.
"You remembered that it's my birthday tomorrow. That's so thoughtful of you."
"What I'm doing is nothing, just a small token of my appreciation. Unlike you, Director Shang, who gave me a day off on my birthday and arranged a seven-day trip abroad for me."
Aying pouted, and as she spoke, she seemed about to cry. She grabbed Shang Wu's hand and shook it.
"Director Shang, you're so kind. I'll definitely follow you from now on."
Shang Wu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take you with me wherever I go."
She chatted and laughed with Aying for a bit, then returned to her office and opened the gift box.
It is a perfume.
The combination of Damask rose and a hint of cool wood creates a unique scent that is both rich and refreshing.
Shang Wu sprayed the cigarette twice, rubbed his wrists, finished the publicity work for the jewelry department, and immediately rushed to the detention center.
It's time to meet with Li Chengzhang and lay our cards on the table.
Lu Rang was waiting outside the door.
He nodded slightly when he saw her coming.
Shang Wu followed him inside: "What's Li Chengzhang's situation now?"
“They sent someone to hurt you, and there’s a recording as evidence. Plus, there’s the existing debt dispute, so you could be sentenced to prison.”
Lu Rang briefly explained the current situation and opened the interrogation room door for her.
Shang Wu turned around.
Before she could say anything, Lu Rang nodded slightly.
"I'll stay here and guard the place; no one will bother me."
Shang Wu relaxed and walked into the interrogation room.
