"Here's what happened. Boya insisted that Chengbo stole their design plan. They requested an investigation and asked us to change the order and put Boya last in the presentation."
Wang Xiao made a summary.
Xu Yanfeng crossed his long legs and tapped his knees with his fingers: "How did you respond?"
Wang Xiao said: "I promised them that I would investigate thoroughly, but I rejected their request to change the order."
Xu Yanfeng paused and looked up at him.
Wang Xiao didn't quite understand the implicit meaning of this glance, and asked cautiously: "Shouldn't... I cooperate with their investigation?"
"You did nothing wrong." Xu Yanfeng said slowly, "There's no need for the Xu Group to take the risk of cooperating with a company involved in copyright issues. A thorough investigation can avoid some trouble in advance..."
Wang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and straightened his back. However, his boss' next words suddenly took a sharp turn: "Boya's proposal was stolen, so it's understandable to ask for a change in the order of presentations. It's such a small matter, so why not give them a break? It won't hinder other design firms and will also help Xu's reputation."
Wang Xiao immediately lowered his head: "Yes, I know what to do."
"Um."
Xu Yanfeng didn't stay long. After giving his instructions, he got up and left.
Wang Xiao and a group of senior executives saw him off. He said "stay" and opened the door to go out.
After Xu Yanfeng left, Wang Xiao stood by the door, lost in thought. After a few seconds, he asked the others behind him, "Did you hear what Mr. Xu just said?" He answered himself, "He said 'Boya's plan was stolen.' We haven't even started an investigation yet. How can he be so sure?"
Someone replied, "Isn't it obvious? If Boya wasn't the victim, how could he come to us so confidently?"
Wang Xiao murmured, "That's true."

Xia Xi and Lu Mingji returned to the room they had booked earlier. The team members were waiting for news inside. As soon as they saw them show up, they rushed forward one by one to ask about the results.
"How is it? Does the person in charge believe that the plan is ours?"
Lu Mingji's mouth was dry. He sat down and unscrewed a bottle of mineral water. Thinking that Xia Xi had just said more than him, he handed the water to her. Xia Xi took it and drank a few sips without hesitation.
"The person in charge promised us that they would investigate this matter, but for now all we can do is wait for news." Xia Xi's voice was almost smoking, a little hoarse. "Oh, by the way, I will send the manuscript and the drawing process to Vice President Wang's email later."
"Then does that mean we can't participate in the competition this afternoon?"
Xia Xi: "Yes."
"Damn it, I've been busy for so many days, and it's all in vain. I feel like killing someone! I don't know when the investigation results will come out. After the voting is over, if we still can't prove that Cheng Bo stole our design plan, we're doomed."
Xia Xi: "It's not over yet. At least the people in charge of Xu Corporation are aware of this. Even if this plan wins in the end, they won't dare to use it directly. I said, Boya wants to sue Chengbai, so of course they will carefully consider the risks. If we don't have a good time, Chengbai won't get any advantage either."
"After hearing that, I feel a little better, but I'm still very angry."
Xia Xi: "It's really annoying, and I have reason to be angry."
Gao Ge looked at Xia Xi, who was holding a bottle of mineral water in her hand and taking two sips of water before answering a question. She remained calm, rational, composed and peaceful. She was more like the backbone of the company than the boss Lu Mingji.
Gao Ge asked, "You suggested moving our demonstration to the end. Did Xu agree?"
Xia Xi looked at her and shook his head: "I tried my best to get it, but they didn't agree."
Just as he finished speaking, Lu Mingji's phone rang. He took it out and said to the people present, "It's Vice President Wang calling."
Everyone fell silent and stopped chattering and asking Xia Xi questions.
Lu Mingji answered the phone and listened to the person on the other end say a few words. His eyes suddenly lit up and he kept saying thank you: "Thank you very much, thank you very much. I'm sorry to trouble you."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Mingji scanned the faces in front of him and smiled slightly. "Vice President Wang said that Boya's presentation can be moved to the end." He raised an eyebrow at Xia Xi and said, "I think he must have thought it over carefully and was persuaded by you. Xia Xi, who said you don't have management acumen? I think you are very suitable to be a leader."
Xia Xi didn't say anything.
Gao Ge had been harboring a doubt in her heart. She asked Xia Xi, "I don't understand why you're so insistent on changing the order. What plan are we going to present tomorrow afternoon? The same one we presented to Cheng Bai?"
Xia Xi took another sip of water: "Keep it a secret for now."
Before the matter was finalized, she was afraid of any unexpected changes, so she planned to keep it a secret.
Gao Ge: “?”
She didn't know what Xia Xi was up to, but after this incident, she no longer had any prejudice against her. Although she was still a little unsure and felt that things would not turn around, looking at Xia Xi's determined eyes, she felt some hope from her despair.
Hope a miracle happens.
Xia Xi raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. It was now one o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still 28 hours until the deadline for the competition tomorrow afternoon. If he took a gamble, he might be able to turn the tide.
"I'm going to get another room and stay in the hotel from now on. You guys should do what you need to do and don't be so dejected."
Xia Xi said this and left with her bag. As she walked, she called Su Jinru to report that there was a problem at work and she couldn't go back tonight. If everything went well, she would go back for dinner tomorrow.
Having her mother by her side brings peace of mind; she can entrust her children to her and devote herself to her work.

In the blink of an eye, it was the last day of the competition. In the conference room, Zhang Wanli sat in his seat with confidence. He looked around and didn't see any Boya members. He was very proud.
