In the president's office, Lin Xiaotang was so surprised that she almost broke her voice.

How could it be okay? When Zhou Jincheng met her at the Jincheng counter, he was so confident and in a dominant position. She didn't believe him when he said it was okay.

"At least, on the surface, there is no connection at all."

Lin Dengke was also troubled. "So even if we have to file a lawsuit, it will become us vs. Mr. Cheng and Dou Qi."

Mr. Cheng has a wide network of contacts.

If the Lin family puts all their strength into it, they might be able to fight off one or two of them.

But the company's top management may not agree to this as it would risk the entire group being buried with it.

If Lin Xiaotang can hire a top lawyer, Mr. Cheng may be able to do the same.

Mr. Cheng is a very meticulous person. I'm afraid that he was prepared for their counterattack when he started this project.

Lin Xiaotang didn't expect to be tricked by Mr. Cheng so thoroughly.

Finally, Dou Qi, who is Zhou Jincheng's shield.

Everyone knows that Zhou Risheng acquired the Dou family’s assets, and Dou Qi became a part of Risheng.

"The cooperation between Mr. Cheng and Zhou Jincheng really caught me off guard."

She originally wanted to report the matter between Cheng Anqi and Zhou Jincheng to President Cheng, to create some trouble for Zhou Jincheng so that he would have no time to cause trouble for her.

Who knew that this would actually accelerate the merger of their two families!

Lin Xiaotang shot herself in the foot and became angrier the more she thought about it.

But there are no eternal enemies in the business world.

She soon let it go.

I miscalculated that human nature is fickle, and I also overlooked Mr. Cheng's love for his daughter.

She deserved to lose.

Lin Xiaotang thought about the scene in the future where her sons would bring back a daughter-in-law like Zhou Jincheng. She felt that no matter how dissatisfied she was, if her son was determined to marry her, she would be afraid that breaking Sixian and Siqi's legs would be useless, so she could only accept it.

Sixian and Siqi, who were learning fencing with Baldy at home, felt their legs sore and inexplicably weak.

"Don't worry, wait for Aunt Zhao to come, and then we can discuss it."

Lindenko looked worried.

They could ask Chen Rui for help, but if they did that, they would probably never get favorable conditions for cooperation again.

Even in the business world of Mingzhu City, the Lin family is inferior to the Zhou and Cheng families.

We can't take that step unless it's absolutely necessary.

Lin Xiaotang nodded, went back to her office and called Mr. Cheng. She wanted to meet with Mr. Cheng and have a chat to see if there were any other opportunities.

But unexpectedly, Mr. Cheng didn't answer the phone at all.

I called the secretary on the landline, and when I heard it was someone from the Lin Group, he politely and respectfully said that Mr. Cheng was not available.

Even if there are drastic measures, the other party cannot even be seen, and there is nothing you can do.

It's like a punch on cotton.

Lin Xiaotang gritted her teeth. She was forced into a desperate situation by such a group of people!

When she arrived at the factory, what made Lin Xiaotang even more desperate was that the factory director had run away!

The factory director was poached by Dou Qi and went to work in Dou's factory with several core members.

The key is that the factory director has just become familiar with the technical production details of the [Gold Inlaid Jade] process here! Those technicians were trained with great difficulty by her and Li Hang and others! Lin Xiaotang's heart was bleeding.

This dirty trick was definitely planned from the beginning. They just waited until all her staff were trained and their skills were mature, and then they would steal directly.

The strong winter sun made people feel warm, but Lin Xiaotang's heart cooled down little by little.

She was so angry that she laughed.

Now she admires her opponent a little.

She always has the mentality that she has everything under control, and she thinks that as long as she figures out every step and everyone's habits, she can solve all the problems.

It's like solving a math problem. As long as you follow the procedure, you can always solve it.

She analyzes people as if they were a complex problem.

But she forgot that human nature is complicated and cannot allow her to list the steps step by step.

The current situation is as if I have only written a "solution" under the big question and can no longer write any further.

Lin Xiaotang squatted down and used a dry branch to write down the questions she encountered this time: [Known: The technology was used first and publicly listed; Mr. Cheng avoided the meeting and took the lead in building the Jin Yu Liang Yuan brand; there was a traitor who leaked commercial secrets inside and there was no way to verify it; the core technical personnel of the factory were poached.

Question: How to get back the gold-inlaid jade technology? 】

Lin Xiaotang wrote the word "Solution", with a tree branch hanging in the air above the question, and circled a few words: technology, listing, Mr. Cheng, Dou Qi, Zhou Jincheng, brand, traitor, verification, and factory.

Lin Xiaotang squatted on the ground and stared at these words in a daze.

When something is very complicated, the first step is to simplify it.

The product is already on the market, and if you want to stop it, there is no objection, so you have to cross out the listing.

Branding and product launch combined are also crossed out.

The factory serves the brand and product launch, but now it is in disarray and cannot be a top priority, so it is crossed out.

Mr. Cheng didn't want to see her, and she couldn't produce any evidence that Mr. Cheng had directly plagiarized her letter of intent for cooperation after reading it. It would be meaningless to get too involved in a war of words, so she just deleted it.

Mr. Cheng and those two people are in cahoots with each other, so they should be crossed out too.

Now there are only three items left: "technology", "traitor" and "verification".

Verify the technology leak and the identity of the traitor.

This is the new direction.

We can't keep sinking into this big trap.

It is a big taboo to lose your composure!

But Niu Juan and Zhang Yang, even his cousin had hired a private detective, but no useful information came back. How could they investigate? His hand unconsciously wrote the word "no solution".

Lin Xiaotang angrily threw away the branch in her hand.

Some workers who got the news came out and looked at the boss from a distance, not knowing what to do.

The factory manager took his people away and had a high salary waiting for him, but what about the ordinary employees? Will they be angered? What should the workers who support their families do if they suddenly leave the old factory where they have worked for decades? The employees who have been able to work in the Lin Group's factory for decades all have mortgages and car loans, and some are even a few years away from retirement and high pensions.

Some people work in a factory themselves, and their children join the Lin Group after graduation.

As parents, they are very worried about whether their children will be embarrassed by their boss.

Now, everything has become unknown.

Lin Xiaotang looked at those familiar faces and couldn't bear it.

"I know everyone is very uneasy now, but being uneasy cannot change anything. There have been some problems with this project recently, but please be patient and wait for a while. Even if this project fails, everyone can still go back to their original jobs. I will give everyone a holiday, go home to spend time with their families, and prepare for the New Year. The company will pay the minimum salary as usual."

The workers felt a little relieved, but were also worried that they would never be able to come back after leaving.

"After the Chinese New Year, we will go back to work as usual! The new year will be a good start!"

Lin Xiaotang smiled and asked all the employees to go back.
