I tampered with the bid
Tao Xingye's company has a very grand name - WuXi Pharma, but the company is not large. Including Lin Yu and himself, there are only 26 people in total.
On the day Lin Yu started, her immediate supervisor, Zhang Songge, assigned her the job. Zhang Songge was tall and thin, with the rationality and elegance of a science student. At 32, his eyes were still bright.
Zhang Songge was holding a cup of soy milk. Behind his black glasses, his eyes were fixed on the data in his other hand with a sharp gaze. He walked towards Lin Yu with a scent of laundry detergent. When he saw Lin Yu, he smiled first, then quickly lowered his head, muttering some numbers.
Lin Yu didn't want to disturb the other person's thoughts, so he stood quietly by the side.
After about ten minutes, Zhang Songge suddenly stood up as if awakened. "You must be the new employee, right? Mr. Tao told me last night that you were very smart when you were in school."
Zhang Songge took out a few folders from the drawer and handed them to Lin Yu, adjusting his glasses. "Xiaoyu, organize these data first. We'll need them for a test in three days. 3D printing, these data are of paramount importance, you know."
She muttered the numbers on her hand again, sat back down, and stood up again in a few seconds. "Oops, I forgot to assign you a workstation. Xiaoyu, you sit across from me. We'll lead this bone implant project together. You can follow me first."
As the director of the technical department, Zhang Songge's project is naturally the top priority among all the company's projects. Lin Yu's ability to work under her must have been arranged by Tao Xingye.
She didn't want Zhang Songge to think that she was a relative, so she worked until ten o'clock that night. Not only did she process all the data, she even used sticky notes to mark out the special data.
"That should be it," Lin Yu muttered as she glanced through the paper again. She had been sitting there all afternoon, and every part of her body was sore. Suddenly, a faint laugh echoed through the quiet surroundings, and Lin Yu subconsciously turned around.
Tao Xingye was seen leaning against the doorway wearing a flamboyant red baseball jacket, his hands folded across his chest, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes curved.
"Let's go." Tao Xingye stood up straight and winked at Lin Yu, "Electricity is free in my company, why are you staying so late?" He frowned and pursed his lips, looking very dissatisfied.
"You!" Lin Yu didn't know what to say. She was clearly working overtime for his company, so how could he say that to her?
"What do you mean by 'I'? Just call me Xingye." Tao Xingye liked the look on Lin Yu's face when she was annoyed by him, and he threw a coquettish glance at Lin Yu in a good mood.
He turned off the light casually, and the office fell into darkness. Only the computer screen in front of Lin Yu's workstation was still lit.
Tao Xingye walked over and took Lin Yu's hand without saying anything. Feeling Lin Yu's struggle, he was a little displeased, "Don't move." He leaned over to turn off the computer for Lin Yu, fearing that she would take advantage of this opportunity to run away.
The two of them entered the elevator together. Tao Xingye hummed an unknown tune, pressed the button for the basement floor, and said seductively, "It's already so late, can you get back to school in time for the curfew?" Why not just stay at his house for one night.
"I can catch up." Lin Yu pressed a button.
That week, all the work Zhang Songge assigned to her were miscellaneous tasks such as data processing. In order to keep up with the project progress as quickly as possible, Lin Yu would process the data at the company every night and then carry a large pile of information back to the dormitory to continue reading.
Ever since they exposed Hu Yuxin that day, the three of them had become even colder towards her, even starting to feel a bit isolated. But Lin Yu wouldn't be uncomfortable with this. After all, she had experienced even more severe isolation.
That night, Lin Yu sat downstairs with a small desk lamp on as usual, reading some information. The other three people were gossiping, and their voices were so loud that she couldn't even drown them out with her headphones.
Lin Yu's mother suddenly called. Lin Yu took the phone and went out. It was about her brother Lin Sen's medical expenses.
"Your father and I are strapped for cash... We haven't found a suitable kidney donor yet, and you still have to stay in the hospital..."
"I'll transfer the money to you." Lin Yu hung up the phone, not wanting to say another word to her mother. Just as she was about to enter the door, she heard a commotion inside. Realizing what they were doing, Lin Yu's hand on the door handle froze, and a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes.
She leaned against the door and didn't push it open until ten minutes later.
The dormitory was quiet and the three of them went to bed again.
Compared to last time, this time their hands and feet were much cleaner and neater, and no traces could be found unless you looked carefully.
Lin Yu stretched, stuffed the information back into his bag, climbed onto the bed, and began to build a new bone and joint model in his mind.
There are not many domestic medical device companies. In the Central China region where Jincheng is located, there is only one company with independent R&D capabilities that is on the same track as WuXi Jiansheng - Ruian
Ruian has a market share of up to 45%, and Hu Yuxin and others are interning at Ruian.
Lin Yu couldn't be sure about the other two people, but he was sure about Hu Yuxin. This girl who even stole business cards and kept them secretly would never treat the opponent's plan as just study material.
The data leak was her fault.
Now that she was wrong, she had to do everything in her power to make amends.
Lin Yu unconsciously rubbed the scar on her left hand. Tao Xingye had always been arrogant towards her back then, but looking back, he wasn't that annoying.
This decision can be regarded as a return gift for the New Year gift he gave me during the Spring Festival that year.
Anyway, they were destined never to see each other again.
In the following month, Lin Yu came home later and later every night. He would still read materials in the dormitory and would still talk outside for nearly half an hour after answering the phone.
The bone implant project model selected was the version that Lin Yu initially saw, which was also the version that Hu Yuxin and others might take to bid with Ryan.
The bid documents were given to Lin Yu to prepare. Zhang Songge trusted her very much. When Lin Yu replaced the model, her hands were shaking.
She was undoubtedly betting on her own future, betting on Hu Yuxin's evil.
If Hu Yuxin hadn't stolen the idea, Lin Yu would have suffered the consequences, and unsurprisingly, no company would be willing to hire her.
When I took the bid documents to the relevant department for stamping, Tao Xingye, who had not been seen for several days, suddenly showed up.
He looked very tired, his skin was pale, and any dark circles under his eyes were particularly noticeable.
"I'll take you there." Tao Xingye smiled and insisted on pulling Lin Yu into his car. Lin Yu didn't refuse, which surprised him a little. "Have you changed your personality? Then do you want to be my female companion?"
He said it jokingly, but Lin Yu looked at him quietly.
"Okay, it's still the same." Tao Xingye knew that if he continued talking, he would only make himself boring, so he put on a song and started the car.
That song was the title song of Nicholas Tse's album "VIVA" released in the millennium. Why did Lin Yu remember it so clearly? Because when she was a child not too long ago, Jiang Shuang took a guitar, pulled her to sit in the classroom, and played it for her for a long time.
"You still listen to such old songs?" Lin Yu held the tender documents in his arms and, for the first time, took the initiative to recall the days of Tianya Academy. Many things about Jiang Shuang became blurry, but Tao Xingye's memories were still as clear as yesterday.
"These songs were popular when I went abroad. What's wrong with me liking them?" Tao Xingye was concentrating on driving at the time and didn't notice the depression in Lin Yu's tone.
"Lin Xiaomai, your brother is not as fickle as you think. I am still very loyal, okay?" Tao Xingye's voice was particularly frivolous, and the ring on his hand was particularly eye-catching. Lin Yu lowered his head, his heart aching so much that he could hardly breathe.
The song was surprisingly fitting for the occasion, the female singer's voice tearful and lamenting, tinged with regret and a sense of indifference, a willingness to be let down. Perhaps it was Lin Yu's current mood, she wondered, why are Cantonese songs always so sad?
She is twenty years old now, and the word "cowardly" can summarize most of her life.
But at the crucial moment, she was particularly decisive and cruel.
She thought that she was not a rational person.
"Lin Xiaomai, you don't know how important this bidding is to me. If I win against Ryan this time, I might be able to snatch some market share from them." Tao Xingye noticed that Lin Yu's face looked wrong, thinking that he was nervous, and quickly stopped the topic.
"But don't worry too much. The Tao family has given me a lot of assets. Even if this fails, the company can rely on other assets to help it through the difficulties."
Lin Yu didn't say anything, leaning against the window. She held the tender document in her arms and suddenly wanted to replace the model inside. Tao Xingye's family was so wealthy, it was unnecessary for her to take such a big risk for him.
"Stop the car!" Lin Yu's voice was stiff, and Tao Xingye quickly pulled the car over to the side of the road.
"Do you know why I would rather be sent back to the provincial team than tell the truth to the teacher?" A tear rolled down Lin Yu's eye. Tao Xingye bit his lip and wanted to reach out to wipe it for her, but he knew that Lin Yu didn't like his touch.
He didn't take it, but handed it to her with a tissue, but she still didn't want to take it.
"I don't know how to tell the teacher," more and more tears slipped from the corners of Lin Yu's eyes, drop by drop. Tao Xingye couldn't hold it back anymore and reached out to wipe away the tears on her chin.
She seemed to be out of breath, her mouth slightly open, and her tears stopped. "I don't know what to say, Tao Xingye. I don't know why I was angry at that time. I don't know if I was angry about Jiang Shuang's death, or because you lied to me. I don't know."
Lin Yu lowered her head, raised the bid document in her arms, and stroked it back and forth as if reluctantly, "Believe it or not, I tampered with the bid document?" She looked at Tao Xingye with evil eyes.
Tao Xingye's heart was shocked, but he heard Lin Yu's voice again, "You can understand it as I want to deceive you just like you deceived me before. Believe it or not, I won't deliver the bid documents."
"I'll leave it here. You can either send the one I've tampered with, or have Sister Song Ge send a new one herself." Lin Yu unbuckled his seatbelt, opened the car door, and got out. "You choose. I won't accompany you."
Lin Yu lowered her head, her short hair surrounding her palm-sized face. She had never cried so hard before, as if her tears would never stop flowing. However, even so, she still did not make any sound, as she had long been accustomed to crying silently.
"Since you already have a fiancée, we are destined to have no future. Tao Xingye," Lin Yu looked up and met Tao Xingye's surprised gaze, "Let's not see each other anymore in the future."
"What do you think you are to me?" Tao Xingye yelled at her. "I forgot to tell you, I'm tired of you. If I hadn't seen that you were in a bad mood just now, I would have told you a long time ago."
He quickly walked over to Lin Yu, gritting his teeth. "Why do you think I came to you again? I was just trying to get revenge on you! It's never your turn to end our relationship. On behalf of WuXi Jiansheng, I'm here to inform you, Lin Yu, you're fired."
He left with a word and sped away, but after turning a corner, the black car slowly stopped again.
Tao Xingye pounded the steering wheel in frustration. What was Lin Yu? She was just a stinky girl from the country. She was dark, thin, dull and cowardly. He didn't like her at all.
He was just planning to have fun, so why did she call it quits before him? Tao Xingye stared at the tender document on the driver's seat, wanting to fall out of the car, but he couldn't bear it.
Lin Yu said she had tampered with the bid? He didn't believe it! It was just a project worth a few million, he could afford the gamble. He was going to bid using the project that Lin Yu claimed to have tampered with. He didn't believe Lin Yu would betray him!
