Chapter 167 Framed
In the conference room.
"This bidding is very important. Xiao Liu, you guys must be well prepared and must not make any mistakes at any stage!"
Manager Liu was confident in front of Mr. Sun, "There will be absolutely no mistakes, don't worry!"
After the meeting, Manager Liu called Fang Qing to his office and asked her to accompany him to participate in the bidding tomorrow.
Fang Qing knew that this was the company's largest bidding project in the past six months. This project had been ongoing since she started her internship at the company. Now it had finally reached the most critical stage, and Fang Qing was also very nervous.
"Manager Liu, this information is so important, why don't I give it to you for safekeeping..."
Manager Liu glanced at her and said, "Fang Qing, you have been performing very well in the past two months since you came to the company. I am confident in your ability to handle affairs, but you need to be more courageous and don't be timid. There is no timid person in our company. Do you hear me?"
With Manager Liu's encouragement, Fang Qing's anxiety was slightly relieved.
After returning to his seat, Fang Qing carefully transferred all the information for tomorrow's bid into a USB drive, then set a password for his computer before returning home with peace of mind.
But when everyone left, Qiuyu sneaked back and quietly opened Fang Qing's computer.
"Tsk, there's actually a power-on password. Pretty cautious."
But this did not bother her at all. She picked up the phone and called the company's computer technical engineer. "Brother Liu, I'm sorry. I'm working overtime at the company and I encountered some troubles. I want to ask you for help."
Engineer Liu is almost 30 years old, but he is still single, for no other reason than he is ugly. Engineer Liu himself has never been in a relationship, so he always blushes when dealing with female colleagues.
When Qiuyu first joined the company, there was a problem with her computer, and it was this silly engineer who fixed her computer in no time.
Qiuyu thought he looked very funny at the time, and as she had just joined the company she felt a little uncomfortable, but after a few interactions she became familiar with Engineer Liu.
Although Qiuyu knew that Engineer Liu was nice to her only because he was interested in her, Qiuyu had not yet established a firm foothold in the company and could not turn against him at this time. Besides, there was such an honest and obedient big guy for him to use, so why not do it?
Engineer Liu on the other end of the phone was indeed very cooperative. As soon as he heard that there was a problem with the computer, he hurried back.
Qiu Yu quickly stopped him, "No, no, I'm leaving soon. It will be too late to wait for you to come back. Just tell me how to restore the computer's initial startup password. We can talk about the rest tomorrow."
Engineer Liu had never been in a relationship and didn't know how to deal with girls. As for Qiu Yu, the only one who was very kind to him, he almost always agreed to his requests.
Following his instructions, Qiu Yu quickly opened Fang Qing's computer, then said a few perfunctory words and hung up the phone.
"Idiot, if it weren't for your good computer skills, would I really want to talk to you?"
Qiuyu quickly searched for the company's information on Fang Qing's computer and soon found the bidding folder.
"Got it. Thank you, Fang Qing."
Qiuyu quickly turned off the computer and restored everything to its original state, then ran to the front desk, turned on the company's surveillance lines again, and quickly left the company.
In a western restaurant, Qiu Yu handed the information in her hand to another person, and she received a package of money wrapped in brown paper. The man opposite her was wearing a hood and her face could not be seen clearly, but there was a hint of ridicule in his words.
"Miss Qiu, are you really not considering joining us? We are very welcome to talents like you..."
Qiu Yu counted the money in the bag carefully, and sneered when she heard it, "Don't pretend with me. We all know what kind of people we are. After this deal is done, we won't know each other anymore."
Hearing this, the man did not seem surprised. "Ms. Qiu is still so aloof. In that case, I wish us a happy cooperation."
After getting the money, Qiuyu left the western restaurant without stopping. Touching the money in her bag, she felt very relieved. "Now I just have to wait for tomorrow's show."
The next morning, Fang Qing arrived at the bidding site an hour early. After checking the bidding documents with Manager Liu and confirming that all the information was sealed and intact, the two entered the bidding venue ambitiously.
But an hour later, when the bidding prices of each company were displayed on the big screen, Manager Liu and Fang Qing were struck by lightning.
…
“Bang!”
The teacup was thrown hard to the ground, and the broken glass splashed all over the floor.
"Tell me what's going on. Why is Huaxing's bid price only one dollar lower than ours?"
Mr. Sun took off his tie and walked back and forth in the room, throwing things around and cursing his subordinates for their incompetence. Seeing that everyone in the room was silent and kept their heads down, he became even angrier.
"Liu Ming, tell me! Yesterday, your department assured me that everything was absolutely safe! How come today, Huaxing suddenly changed the price, and it was only one dollar lower than ours! Can anyone give me an explanation? What's going on?"
Manager Liu was puzzled. They had learned about the other party's quotation from someone inside Huaxing before, and the information must not be wrong. How could the other party suddenly change the quotation overnight, and this price seemed to be deliberately mocking them.
Manager Liu thought of many possibilities, and the only one that made the most sense was, "Someone in the company leaked our quotation information!"
This one sentence immediately made everyone in the office look up in surprise.
"How is this possible? Huaxing is our rival, how could we possibly leak our offer to them?"
Manager Liu glanced at Xiao Zhang who had just spoken and said, "It's impossible for everyone here, but that doesn't mean it's impossible for others."
Hearing this, Mr. Sun immediately found his target. "Go and investigate! Investigate from top to bottom and find out where the leak came from. You must find it out for me! If we don't find this traitor, we will never be able to defeat Huaxing!"
Fang Qing was also very depressed sitting in front of the computer. Although she came late, she had participated a lot in this project. Now that her work was suddenly snatched away by someone else, she felt very uncomfortable.
She opened the computer and was thinking of looking up some design information, but Manager Liu behind her suddenly called her over.
Seeing Manager Liu's scrutinizing gaze, Fang Qing frowned slightly, "Manager, what did you call me for?"
Manager Liu examined Fang Qing for a long time and felt that this girl didn't look like someone who could do such a thing.
"Fang Qing, think carefully, has anyone asked you about the bidding in the past few days?"
As Fang Qing shook his head, Manager Liu closed his eyes in disappointment, "Fang Qing, this matter is of great importance, you should resign on your own initiative."
