Chapter 294 Layout
"It's the third day." Ji Wan looked at the crack on the hospital ceiling, which vaguely resembled a dormant snake.
Over the past two days, the public opinion storm has not subsided but has intensified.
Sun Tian pushed the door open, the folder in her hand bulging like a belly about to give birth.
Her steps were unsteady, she could barely keep her feet on the ground, and her panic was almost overflowing.
"Sister Wan, there are reporters everywhere!" She lowered her voice and glanced out the window. "I was almost stuck in the elevator just now. I had to go around to the fire escape to get up."
Ji Wan nodded slightly, but a barely perceptible smile appeared on his face, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, like a spring breeze blowing across a calm lake.
"You've come just in time, Tiantian. Have you finished those fake accounts?"
Sun Tian worked hard to pull out a stack of documents from the pile of files. The friction between the papers made a slight sound, as if telling some secret.
Ji Wan flipped through the pages, his eyes falling on the lines of fabricated data.
The radiator suddenly made a "hissing" sound, as if agreeing with her plan.
In the corridor outside, the wheels of the nurse's cart squeaked like a chaotic ballad.
"Let it go. Just do as we say." Ji Wan said softly, tapping the red mark with his fingertips. "Just say our company is going bankrupt and we're looking for investors everywhere. We urgently need financing."
"Okay." Sun Tian bit her lower lip, frowning slightly. "How much real news should I mix in?"
Ji Wan chuckled, a sharp arc appearing at the corner of his eyes. "Let's just say that there were indeed problems with the factories in Songjiang. The workers had been making trouble, and the production lines were also very old."
"That's true." Sun Tian sighed, a hint of worry in her eyes, "Then how do we tell who the traitor is?"
Ji Wan didn't answer immediately. His fingers gently slid across the metal armrest of the bed, making a slight sound, like the late autumn wind blowing through the dry grass leaves.
"Let's see who takes action first." Ji Wan finally spoke, his voice low and firm. "The traitor is so anxious to make a contribution, his hands will definitely tremble."
Sun Tian nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly raised her eyes and asked, "What should we do if we find them?"
Ji Wan shook his head, a meaningful arc appeared on the corner of his lips, "No rush, let them continue to be our mouthpiece."
In the afternoon, Ji Wan's cell phone vibrated, and on the screen was a message from Sun Tian: Found it!
Next are a few photos: Wang Ming from the Marketing Department, Chen Jing from the Finance Department, and Li Qiang from the Planning Department.
The three of them were each talking on the phone in a corner, looking nervously and looking around.
Ji Wan slid his fingers lightly across the screen, flipping through the photos one by one.
Her eyes narrowed, like the sunlight in the cold winter, sharp but without warmth.
In the third photo, Li Qiang's tie was crooked and sweat was dripping from his forehead, wetting the collar of his shirt.
Ji Wan looked at the dark water stain, as if he could smell the scent of betrayal.
The ringing of the phone broke the silence in the ward.
Ji Wan picked up the phone, and Sun Tian's voice came from the other end: "Sister Wan, it's absolutely correct. After the three of them answered the phone, they immediately went to the archives and secretly filmed the fake project plan we deliberately placed there!"
"Very good." Ji Wan said in a steady voice, "Now, proceed according to the plan."
After hanging up the phone, Ji Wan walked to the window. The sunlight shone on her face, outlining a resolute profile.
…
The conference room was so quiet that you could hear the rustling of papers.
Sun Tian sat at the front of the long table, her eyes sweeping over the seven people in front of her, including the three traitors.
"Boss Ji specifically instructed that these projects should only be known within this small circle." She lowered her voice, her eyes filled with nervousness and anticipation. "This is our company's chance to turn things around..."
With shaking fingers, she pushed several documents past.
The edges of the paper were slightly curled, as if soaked with sweat.
Even with the air conditioner blasting, the conference room was still extremely hot and stuffy.
"The East Bay Resort project, Nanshan Mineral Development, and Western New Energy projects are our last straw." Sun Tian bit her lower lip. "Once we get them, at least they can solve our urgent needs."
Wang Ming lowered his head as he flipped through the documents, his eyes behind his lenses flashing with a strange light.
Chen Jing coughed twice unnaturally and rubbed her fingers back and forth at the footer of the document.
Li Qiang simply picked up his mobile phone and pretended to get some water, but in fact he was secretly taking pictures of the contents of the document.
Sun Tian ignored him and continued, "Mr. Ji has already discussed most of these projects and is just short of signing the contract. Everyone must keep it confidential. This is our lifeline!"
The lights in the conference room flickered, as if silently mocking this dramatic deception.
…
In the Chi family mansion, Chi Lin sat in the study, a cup of tea gradually cooling down beside him, with a thin layer of tea stains floating on the surface.
He had just finished an important phone call with an inspection team sent by several factories in Songjiang, who confirmed that Ji's company was indeed facing the crisis of bankruptcy.
His cell phone rang again.
When he picked it up, he saw that it was his spy planted in Ji's family, who sent him detailed information on three projects.
Chi Lin's brows relaxed, and a determined smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
When the call was connected, he gave the order directly: "Win all three projects at any cost."
…
A week later, Ji Wan returned to the company.
She was wearing a dark suit and her steps were steady and firm.
The smell of the hospital had not yet completely dissipated from her, but it could not conceal the sharp light in her eyes.
Sun Tian stepped forward and whispered, "The Chi Group took over all three projects. They sent several teams and won them at almost any cost."
Ji Wan just nodded slightly, a faint smile on his lips, "How much deposit did they pay?"
"Donghai Bay's 60 million, Nanshan Mine's 38 million, and Western New Energy's 42 million." Sun Tian's voice was filled with unconcealed joy. "These are all upfront investments, non-refundable."
Ji Wan chuckled, a sound like a ray of winter sunshine, cold and clear. "They'll soon discover that the East Bay area has long been designated a protected area, the exploration rights of the Nanshan Mine are disputed, and that so-called new energy technology in the west..."
"It doesn't exist at all." Sun Tian took over the conversation with a cunning gleam in her eyes.
…
In the study of the Chi family mansion, the furious roar shook the calligraphy and paintings on the wall.
"Waste! All waste!"
Chi Lin threw the teacup heavily to the ground, and the fragments flew everywhere, like his shattered expectations.
"That piece of land in Donghai Bay cannot be developed at all! The exploration rights of the Nanshan Mine have long been taken away for litigation! The so-called Western New Energy Technology is just an empty shell!"
In front of him stood several pale-faced subordinates, not daring to breathe, their eyes cast towards the ground.
Chi Lin's chest heaved violently, and his fingers tapped out a chaotic rhythm on the table.
"One hundred and forty million! It's all gone down the drain!" Chi Lin gritted his teeth, bloodshot eyes crawling up his cheeks. "That woman Ji Wan, how dare she play tricks on me!"
The servant walked by outside the door and heard the sound of cups and plates breaking in the study, so he couldn't help but slow down his footsteps.
Chi Lin stood up suddenly, his body trembling slightly with anger.
The sun was shining brightly outside the window, shining ironically on his gloomy face.
"Revenge! I'll make Ji Wan pay!" Chi Lin gritted his teeth, digging his nails into his palms, veins bulging like a coiled snake. His eyes were sinister, like a drawn dagger, gleaming coldly.
The secretary approached cautiously and handed over an urgent report.
Chi Lin took a quick look and his face turned even darker. The Chi Group's stock price had already dropped three points after the news of these projects came out.
"Investigate it for me. You must find out exactly what tricks Ji Wan used!" Chi Lin gritted his teeth and said, "Also, find out who leaked the information and let us be fooled so easily!"
