Chapter 9 Let’s Make a Bet
Stealing confidential information is a taboo in the circle.
If the charges are proven, Jiang Yao will bear legal responsibility and may even go to jail.
And Li Heng will also be implicated.
At the banquet that night, Xie Hao did not believe what Lu Xuan said.
But today he led his men into Liheng, obviously he was prepared.
Thinking of this, he turned around, picked up the plan and flipped through it. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at Jiang Yao.
"What does Miss Jiang want to do?"
Before Jiang Yao could speak, he was interrupted by Lu Xuan.
There was a sense of pride in the man's eyes as if he was determined to win, but also indifference as he watched her kneeling and begging for mercy.
"Do you have a choice? I've given you many chances, but you've repeatedly emphasized that you don't represent the Lu Group. Jiang Yao, without the Lu Group, are you qualified to discuss cooperation with Li Heng?"
All the explanations got stuck in my throat.
Jiang Yao never intended to embarrass Lu Xuan too much.
She had loved him, and even though she was broken into pieces, she could never forget the hand he extended to her on that most helpless and desperate rainy night.
But this man... is too aggressive and unreasonable.
"Alright, since President Lu is certain of my guilt, do you dare to make a bet with me? If my proposal has nothing to do with Lu's, and if the cooperation between Yunsheng and Liheng is entirely based on our own strength, I want you to... publicly apologize and admit that you are a blind scumbag!"
The final gamble ultimately brought about uncontrollable emotions.
The man was so angry that he laughed.
He brought people from the company instead of the police, which was his last resort for the woman.
You really don't know how to appreciate it!
"Okay, then even if you cry and beg me for forgiveness, I won't save you."
At this moment, Xie Hao glanced at Jiang Yao, a gleam in his eyes, and he suddenly smiled faintly, "Oh, I heard about it too. There was some personal grudge between Miss Jiang and Mr. Lu before, right? But since this concerns the reputation of Li Heng, Mr. Lu doesn't mind my getting involved, right?"
Lu Xuan couldn't ask for more.
He wanted to completely wash away the humiliation of being embarrassed at the banquet that night.
Jiang Yao also needs to know that without him, she will accomplish nothing.
Both sides sent people to intervene and checked every detail of the plan, including the materials used in the later projects, the market direction, etc., in order to summarize the final overlap rate.
As long as there is a certain degree of overlap, plagiarism is a foregone conclusion.
Lu Xuan sat on the chair with a cold and arrogant look, glancing at Jiang Yao.
I thought I would see the woman panicking and embarrassed, but her beautiful little face was still calm and elegant. She even had the mind to chat with Xie Hao in a low voice while sipping tea.
Is that when he's dead?
He turned his face away in anger, but out of the corner of his eye he saw the woman's slender legs wrapped in black stockings under her skirt. The anxiety and boredom that had been accumulating in his chest since last night became more and more intense.
At this time, the assistant came over and whispered, "Mr. Lu, the overlap rate is not enough."
"How is that possible!" The man could no longer suppress his anger and slapped the table, causing the air pressure around him to drop suddenly.
Xie Hao reminded him calmly.
"Mr. Lu, this is Li Heng, please pay attention to your appearance."
Lu Xuan's face was as gloomy as water. He snatched the document from his assistant's hand and became more and more frightened the more he looked at it.
The purpose of this project was clear. Even if Jiang Yao redesigned the plan, it would not be able to deviate from the one prepared by Lu. However, the information before him was completely beyond his expectations.
"This... you wrote it?"
He looked at Jiang Yao in disbelief.
Xie Hao laughed and said, "Boss Lu, since you asked this, could it be that Li Heng provided it?"
The obvious answer hit Lu Xuan in the face like a loud slap.
Just when he was having trouble stepping down, someone from the Supervisory Committee suddenly said, "Mr. Lu, this material is wrong."
Lu Xuan immediately stepped forward, and after repeated comparisons, he slapped the two pages of paper in front of Xie Hao.
"Director Xie, Jiang Yao can even make a mistake in selecting such an important material. Do you still believe that she and Yunsheng can complete this project?"
He stood up and looked down at Jiang Yao.
"You're a space major, sure, but you haven't even earned your diploma. Even if you find someone to draw up a perfect plan, it can't cover up your professional flaws. Once the project launches, Li Heng's losses won't be compensated by the entire Yunsheng."
There was dead silence in the office.
Lu Xuan stood proudly like a victorious rooster.
He waited to see how the woman would explain.
She even had an excited anticipation of how she would beg him when she had no other options.
Just like that year when he picked her up in the heavy rain like a stray dog.
He was the one who raised her, and she should live only for him in this life.
Then, Liheng's technician slowly raised his hand with an awkward yet polite smile on his face.
"Mr. Lu, is there a possibility that the materials provided by Miss Jiang are more advanced and sophisticated?"
Lu Xuan's expression cracked for a moment.
It was as if he was the clown.
Lu also brought relevant personnel and quickly found out the results.
"Mr. Lu, this is LN steel, the most advanced material. We simply can't..."
The truth came like a bolt from the blue.
Xie Hao stood up slowly, his smile ambiguous.
"Mr. Lu, you lost the bet. Li Heng's public relations department is ready to serve you and issue an apology statement at any time."
The man's face turned red.
In Liheng's lobby, there are many people coming and going to do business and seek cooperation.
The door of the reception room was not closed, and the movement inside attracted a lot of people's attention.
The security guard was trying to stop them at first, but after receiving Xie Hao's eye signal, he opened the door to let everyone watch.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man in a neat suit walked out from the crowd, smiling mysteriously.
"Mr. Lu, a man should keep his word. He should not play dirty tricks."
Lu Xuan was already furious, but when he saw the visitor, his expression darkened. "Mr. Cheng, I'm so sorry to have made a fool of myself. We've already prepared the contract renewal. Why did you bother to go to Lu's?"
Cheng Sanchao is a well-known entrepreneur in the city and an important client of Lu's.
His contract just expired this quarter, and he applied for renewal a few days ago. Why did he suddenly appear in Liheng now?
However, at this moment, Cheng Sanchao only smiled contemptuously and said, "I think we should discuss the renewal later."
After saying this, without paying any attention to Lu Xuan's stunned expression, she walked around him and extended her hand towards Jiang Yao with a smile, "Miss Jiang, so you changed jobs? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I agreed on the cooperation with Lu Corporation with you!"
"Mr. Cheng." Jiang Yao was also a little surprised, but he quickly understood that he must have heard the sophisticated technologies mentioned in his proposal just now.
After all, we are all businessmen, and we are all old foxes.
However, this was understandable. She responded politely, knowing her limits perfectly. "I'm so sorry, I've indeed changed jobs. I won't be involved in anything at Lu anymore. Do you want to renew your contract..."
"No, no, no, Miss Jiang misunderstood." Cheng Sanchao quickly waved his hand. "What I meant is, now that you have a new company and new technology, you must guide us at Cheng's!"
