Chapter 322: The project is stuck, villains are causing trouble
After returning home that night, Jiang Yao devoted himself to the research of the new project.
She already has a general direction and will go to the laboratory to discuss it with the team tomorrow.
But the next day, she received bad news from Lan Qiuru.
"What? The project approval process is stuck? It's not allowed to be executed, why?" Jiang Yao was very confused.
"At first, the people above said I needed to submit a security assessment report, but after I completed it, they said there were loopholes in the project... In short, I tried everything, but in the end, I couldn't get it passed."
Lan Qiuru thought about it and felt that someone was deliberately messing with her and didn't want to see them progress smoothly.
Jiang Yao also had the same guess, but... who could it be?
"Aunt, do you know which party is involved in the audit project?" Jiang Yao asked immediately.
"It should be the China National Space Administration and the National Research Institute, but I don't remember offending such big guys." Lan Qiuru was puzzled.
Jiang Yao's heart skipped a beat. "Don't worry, I'll investigate further and give you the results then."
After calming Lan Qiuru down, Jiang Yao thought about it and decided to go to the research institute in person to find out the situation.
Anyway, the first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar.
As a result, when she arrived at her destination and just got out of the car, she saw a familiar figure with one hand in his pocket, leaning lazily against the door outside the research institute.
"Oh, you're here." Zhou Yifei waved at her jokingly.
Jiang Yao rolled his eyes and went in without paying any attention to him.
But the next second, Zhou Yifei asked nonchalantly again: "Why, Miss Jiang, did you come here specially today to ask me for something?"
She suddenly stopped and looked straight at him with a sharp gaze.
"You did it! You blocked the project approval just to make me come to you and apologize for what happened last time?"
"It seems you are really smart." Zhou Yifei walked up to her, an ambiguous smile flashed in his eyes, and suddenly reached out to lift her chin, "But, I don't want you to apologize, I want you as a person..."
Jiang Yao slapped his hand away and said, "Dream on."
Although she knew that Zhou Yifei had an unusual background, she didn't expect that he could even influence the decision-making of the higher-ups.
To try to trip her up and force her to compromise under these circumstances is simply disgusting.
Zhou Yifei wasn't angry when his hand was slapped away. Instead, a wicked smile appeared on his face. "It's okay. I have plenty of patience to waste time with you. But I don't know if the project team can wait forever. I look forward to you giving me a different answer."
Jiang Yao sneered, "Zhou Yifei, has anyone ever scolded you for being such a jerk?"
Zhou Yifei's smile disappeared, and the darkness in his eyes spread like thick ink. "Say it again."
Jiang Yao was not afraid at all: "I said you are a cheapskate. You love to find people who look down on you and keep pestering them. Once I treat you well, you lose interest.
You said you have some masochistic tendencies in your bones. Maybe you had some trauma in your childhood that made you so mentally abnormal."
Something in her words hit Zhou Yifei's sore spot, and the man's face instantly became extremely gloomy.
But after a moment, he actually laughed out loud again, "Very good! Jiang Yao, I just like the way you are stubborn."
He then pulled out a business card from his pocket and stuffed it into her hand. "My address is on it. If you regret it, you can come to me anytime."
Jiang Yao remained calm and tore the photo to pieces in front of him.
Then he threw it hard at him, and the paper fragments covered him.
Zhou Yifei was surrounded by dark energy, and a storm was about to come.
Jiang Yao didn't even look at him and turned away.
However, not long after he walked out, a figure followed him from behind.
She thought it was Zhou Yifei and turned around to punch him, but was blocked by Sui Yunli at the critical moment, "It's me."
Jiang Yao quickly withdrew his hand and was quite surprised to see that he looked fine.
The angry move she had just made was not light.
"You're pretty good."
"Really? Maybe he's practiced it before." Sui Yunli said casually, "You were too bold just now. You're going to offend Zhou Yifei to death. Do you know who he is?"
"He is the king of the world. If he dares to provoke me, I will beat him up." Jiang Yao said unhappily.
Sui Yunli sighed helplessly, "There are many rich people these days, and you must have seen many of them, but he is different. He is from the second generation of power, and his father's status is very high. Even the dean has to respect him. There are many people in the entire institute who dislike him, but no one dares to provoke him easily because of this.
With just one word from him, no matter how rich and powerful you are, or even if you come from a wealthy and aristocratic family, he can still mess with you! So, it's best to admit your mistake to him, otherwise your project may not be able to move forward.
Even if you ask the dean, he may not be able to help you."
This world is so unfair.
Jiang Yao was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then he expressed his gratitude. "Thank you for the reminder, but I have my own pride. There is no way I'll compromise with him."
Sui Yunli sighed silently, as if he had guessed her answer. "So, are you planning to give up on the project just like that?"
"Of course not." Jiang Yao showed a bright smile on his face, as if he had an idea in mind.
Sui Yunli tactfully stopped asking questions and told her to take care of herself, and then they said goodbye to each other.
Admittedly, this matter involves the power of the higher-ups, and others may not be able to do anything to Zhou Yifei.
But she is different.
What Jiang Yao lacks the least is a backer.
Back in the car, she took out her cell phone and found a number she hadn't contacted for a long time.
The call was answered shortly after it rang.
"Hello, Yaoyao?" A cold voice came from the other end of the receiver.
Jiang Yao asked softly, "Third uncle, did I disturb you?"
Because Jiang Yuan chose to go into politics, he was the busiest among his uncles on weekdays and we only saw him a few times throughout the year.
But he cared about her every day and would send her gifts every once in a while.
"Of course not." Jiang Yuan's tone was unusually gentle. "Yaoyao can contact me anytime she wants. Did something happen to you?"
"There is something I would like to ask my third uncle for a favor..." Jiang Yao briefly explained the matter.
Jiang Yuan sneered after hearing this. "The Zhou family is really arrogant. They think they can do whatever they want with the power they hold. Yaoyao, let me handle this matter."
"Thank you, Third Uncle." Jiang Yao smiled gratefully, and then asked about his recent health condition, told him to have a good rest, and then hung up the phone.
Her mood also relaxed.
Some of her connections are right at her fingertips, and they are her closest relatives. If she doesn't use them, it would be really stupid to waste her energy beating around the bush.
I believe it won't be long before she gets a reply.
