During this period, Xiao Yuan even brought his own luggage to the Bai family and lived and ate with Bai Qingzhi.
The family didn't think there was anything wrong with the two living together, after all, he was already the son-in-law they had already decided on.
Xiao Yuan took great care of Bai Qingzhi, and with the support of her family and fiancé, Bai Qingzhi, who had been extremely thin, gradually gained some weight back.
With her headache gone, Bai Qingzhi's mood improved completely, and she was all smiles every day.
Bai Qingzhi had just finished breakfast and was sitting on the sofa watching TV when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside. Then a woman stumbled in.
"Sister, what's wrong?" The person who came was Xiaodie, but her face was pale.
Since Xiaodie joined the Wang Group, she has practically lived at the company. From a junior assistant to the current board secretary, it only took her half a year.
Of course, the Bai family and the Wang family are still enemies. Most people don't understand why Xiaodie, as an adopted daughter of the Bai family, would enter the Wang family, and even use her status to help the Wang family obtain considerable profits in several competitions.
Her family never blamed her and often told her to stick to her principles.
But rumors had already spread.
It's been almost a month since Xiaodie last came back. Every time she calls, she says she's busy with work. The only time she came back was when Bai Qingzhi had just finished surgery and she only glanced at her briefly.
Xiao Yuan knew a little about Xiao Die's situation, and seeing her obviously anxious steps, his brows slowly furrowed.
If he remembered correctly, the Wang family was supposed to be holding a bidding event this afternoon. Although the Xiao family wasn't his competitor, he knew that today's event was very important to the Wang family.
This project has attracted a lot of attention, not only from City A, but also from teams that have come from other major cities.
Xiaodie's return at this time, as the board secretary, is somewhat intriguing.
"Qingzhi, where is your older brother?" Xiaodie stepped forward and gently patted Bai Qingzhi's head as she asked.
"My older brother went on a business trip this morning and it seems he won't be back for four or five days," Bai Qingzhi replied obediently.
She noticed dark circles under her sister's eyes, clearly indicating that she hadn't had a proper rest in a long time.
"Sister, is the work at Wang's so tiring? If you can't take it, take a break." Bai Qingzhi said with concern, holding Xiaodie's hand.
"My sister is still the best." Xiao Die smiled and then looked at Xiao Yuan.
Since my elder brother is away on a business trip, this thing should have the same effect on Xiao Yuan.
Thinking of this, Xiaodie took out a USB drive from her bag and handed it to Xiao Yuan, then hurriedly said goodbye.
She can't stay out for too long.
Before leaving, she turned back and gave Bai Qingzhi a gentle look, telling her to get some rest.
Xiao Yuan looked at the USB drive without hesitation, picked up his computer, and plugged it in.
This computer is specifically for Zhizhi to watch TV; it doesn't have any work-related functions.
The USB drive was clean, with only one folder. Xiao Yuan clicked on it, and the next second his brows furrowed.
"This is not..."
Bai Qingzhi's eyes widened in surprise.
Xiao Yuan's expression also turned serious. He walked to the side, took out his phone, dialed his assistant's number, and gave him a few brief instructions.
Xiaodie had already returned to the company by this time. The entire company was on high alert for the bidding meeting that afternoon, and everyone looked tense.
I took a deep breath and pushed open the door to the board's office. Sure enough, I saw several people sitting inside discussing something.
"Xiao Die, I heard that the management of this bidding event has some connections with the Bai family." Boss Wang spoke in broken Mandarin, his eyes gleaming with shrewdness.
"I understand, I'll contact you now." Xiaodie nodded, turned around, and walked out.
Only after she could no longer see his back did the other man speak up and ask:
"Don't you have a grudge against the Bai family? How dare you keep her by your side?"
Mr. Wang sneered.
"Keeping her as a pet is pointless; she doesn't have access to the core. On the contrary, her presence makes others more cautious, which makes things much easier for me."
Aren't you afraid she'll stab you in the back?
Mr. Wang seemed to have heard something very funny and laughed out loud twice.
"Her? She's a complete idiot, no education, no experience, and she even betrayed me? I wish I could borrow two of her brains!"
After Boss Wang finished speaking, the others in the room also laughed mockingly. No one noticed that Xiao Die at the door hadn't left at all.
With a kind smile on her lips, Xiaodie called the person in charge of the bidding meeting.
The Wang family had been preparing for this bidding event for a long time, so they arrived at the venue half an hour before it was scheduled to begin.
But this isn't the first one.
Watching Boss Wang hypocritically greet others, Xiaodie lowered her eyes slightly, her gaze unfathomable.
Just as she was idly waiting for the time to pass, she inadvertently caught sight of a woman sitting in the corner, and upon closer inspection, she realized it was Bai Qinghuan.
With a question in her eyes, Xiaodie hadn't even reacted when she saw Bai Qinghuan walk towards the bathroom and give her a hand gesture.
When Xiaodie successfully met Bai Qinghuan after avoiding everyone, she discovered that it wasn't just Bai Qinghuan who had come.
Xiaodie was still a little confused when she saw Bai Qingzhi's face.
"Why are you here? You're not fully recovered and you're already running around outside!" Xiaodie stepped forward and touched her younger sister's hand, finding it a little cold.
"Sister, why didn't you tell us you were doing this?" Bai Qingzhi asked.
"It's nothing serious, no need to worry," Xiaodie waved her hand dismissively.
Bai Qingzhi didn't say anything more, but a pang of heartache rose in her heart.
"You're doing this to avenge Qingzhi, aren't you?" From the moment Xiaodie joined the Wang family, Bai Qinghuan had guessed her purpose.
Xiaodie wanted to argue, but looking at Bai Qinghuan's confident face, she swallowed her words.
“The plan has been changed now, so you don’t need to worry about what happens next, sister.” Bai Qingzhi felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
Seeing the two of them, Xiaodie finally nodded in agreement.
Back at the venue, Xiaodie excused herself from feeling unwell and left. Boss Wang didn't think much of it, since the arrangements had already been made and Xiaodie's role had been fulfilled.
The bidding process went smoothly, and the Wang family made thorough preparations, often adding to the base price of other competitors.
As the gavel was about to fall, even the corners of Mr. Wang's mouth curled up into a smile.
The large screen was originally displaying a brief introduction to the bidding process, but just as the gavel fell, the screen suddenly flickered a few times.
The next second, Boss Wang appeared among them.
It's just not today's.
The camera was shaky, suggesting it was being filmed secretly. Inside, Boss Wang was chatting with a man, who was someone everyone recognized as an official managing the market in City A.
The content of their conversation was then relayed.
It was about the Wang family acquiring a market in the south of the city a while back.
At the time, there were several strong competitors, and the Wang family was at a disadvantage in this area.
