After the substitution marriage, I became the CEO's white moonlight

Su Li's voice flowed like a clear spring, and she presented their plan clearly and vividly to everyone. Gu Jinyan stood beside her, following her with his eyes full of appreciation and love.

"The biggest highlight of our plan is..." Su Li spoke fluently, her eyes sweeping across the projection screen. Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat. The page on the screen that should have displayed key data analysis was blank at this moment!

Su Li tried to stay calm, her brain working fast. She and Gu Jinyan had stayed up all night to check this PPT repeatedly, so there was no way such a low-level mistake could have occurred!

"What's wrong?" Gu Jinyan noticed Su Li's abnormality and asked in a low voice.

Su Li took a deep breath, leaned close to Gu Jinyan's ear, and quickly said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "The PPT was tampered with, and the key data is missing!"

Gu Jinyan frowned and swept his sharp eyes over the people below the stage, but could not see any clues.

"Dear experts," Su Li quickly adjusted her mood, still keeping a confident smile on her face, "In order to more intuitively demonstrate the advantages of our solution, we will explain it with actual cases."

She flexibly skipped the missing data pages and used vivid case analysis to fully demonstrate the advantages and feasibility of the plan. Su Li's wit and ability to respond on the spot won unanimous praise from the bid evaluation experts.

However, the executives of the rival company seized this opportunity and asked aggressively: "Ms. Su, why was the data page blank just now? Is there a flaw in your solution that you dare not make public?"

Su Li responded calmly: "All our data is authentic and reliable. We suspect that someone maliciously sabotaged what happened just now! We will thoroughly investigate this matter and reserve the right to hold those responsible accountable!"

Su Li's words were powerful, full of confidence and strength. She knew that at such a time, she couldn't lose her composure.

The representative of the rival company wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by the bid evaluation expert: "Okay, we have learned about the proposals of the two companies, and now we need time for internal discussions."

Su Li and Gu Jinyan looked at each other, then quietly stepped aside, waiting for the final result. The air seemed to freeze, and a tense atmosphere spread between the two of them... The bid evaluation experts looked serious, discussing the proposals of the two companies in a low voice. Some experts frowned and nodded from time to time, obviously being very cautious in their evaluation of the project. Su Li and Gu Jinyan stood aside quietly. They had done everything they could, and now they could only leave everything to fate.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the waiting process seemed particularly long. Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Su Li's palms. Gu Jinyan held her hand and gave her silent encouragement.

"There seems to be something wrong with their data model," said an expert, pointing to the competitor's proposal.

"I also noticed that this parameter was set too high and does not match the actual situation," another expert agreed.

Su Li's heart skipped a beat. She had always thought that the competitor's plan was too perfect, as if it was done on purpose. Now it seemed that there was indeed a problem! She quickly flipped through the information in her hand, her eyes were sharp, and finally, she found a fatal flaw in the cost budget of the other party's plan.

"Dear experts," Su Li's voice rang out in the conference room, and everyone's eyes were focused on her, "I found an obvious error in XX Company's proposal. When they calculated the project cost, they missed..."

Su Li clearly pointed out the mistakes in the competitor's proposal and used accurate data and professional analysis to prove that this mistake would bring huge risks to the project. The evaluation experts nodded frequently and expressed their appreciation for Su Li's keen observation and professionalism.

The executive of the rival company was livid, but he was powerless to refute. He was originally confident of winning, but he never thought that Su Li would find such a fatal flaw in his carefully prepared plan.

"After our careful discussion and evaluation," the leader of the bid evaluation team announced, "the final result is..."

Everyone's eyes were focused on the team leader, their heartbeats accelerated, and they held their breath, waiting for the final verdict... "...Gu Group's proposal is more complete and more feasible. Congratulations to Gu Group for winning the bid!"

Applause broke out in the conference room. Su Li and Gu Jinyan smiled at each other, their eyes full of joy and relief. The hard work over the past few months has finally paid off, and they have successfully won this project that is crucial to the development of the company.

The executive of the rival company looked gloomy and stood up to leave without saying a word. When he reached the door, he stopped, turned around, looked at Su Li and Gu Jinyan with complicated eyes, and forced a smile: "Congratulations, Mr. Gu, Ms. Su, I hope we can have another chance to cooperate."

Gu Jinyan smiled faintly: "Thank you for the compliment, and I hope your company will continue to work hard."

The competitor executive said nothing more and turned away, his back revealing a trace of loneliness and unwillingness. He knew that this failure not only meant that the company lost an important project, but also meant that his reputation in the industry was severely hit.

Su Li looked at the back of the competitor's executive leaving, feeling mixed emotions. She knew that business was like a battlefield, and victory and defeat were common, but seeing her opponent so disappointed, she couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.

"What's wrong?" Gu Jinyan noticed Su Li's mood change and asked softly.

"Nothing, I just feel..." Su Li hesitated and finally shook her head, "Let's go, it's time to celebrate."

Gu Jinyan did not ask any more questions. He knew that Su Li was kind-hearted, but he just couldn't bear to see others fail and look miserable. He gently held Su Li's hand, interlocked their fingers, and led her out of the meeting room.

As we walked out of the conference room, the company's data clerk came up to us and said excitedly, "Secretary Su, President Gu, we succeeded! We succeeded!"

Su Li and Gu Jinyan smiled at each other and were about to speak when they suddenly heard hurried footsteps at the end of the corridor, accompanied by a sharp voice:

"Wait a minute! I have something to say..."

The data clerk turned around and saw a figure running towards them. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the person in charge of the company that lost the bid. His face was flushed and there were beads of sweat on his forehead. It was obvious that he had tried his best to catch up.

"Sir, do you have anything else to say?" Gu Jinyan frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure in his tone. He didn't want to get too entangled with his competitors at this time.

"Mr. Gu, please wait a moment!" The person in charge said breathlessly, "I know it's meaningless to say this now, but... I still want to ask, why? Why did our company lose the bid?"

Before Gu Jinyan could speak, Su Li stepped forward and said calmly, "Sir, the bid evaluation results are out. I believe the bid evaluation experts made their decision after careful consideration. The reason why our company was able to win the bid is that our proposal is more complete and better meets the project requirements. I believe you are well aware of this."

"But..." The person in charge wanted to say something else, but was interrupted coldly by Gu Jinyan.

"Sir, business is like a battlefield, victory and defeat are common. If you lose today, just try harder next time. If you have nothing else to do, we'll take our leave."

After saying that, Gu Jinyan put his arm around Su Li's shoulders and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, the person in charge had a flash of despair in his eyes. He gritted his teeth, seemed to have made a decision, and suddenly raised his voice and said, "Mr. Gu, I have evidence in my hand! Proof that your company violated regulations during this bidding process!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole corridor fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the person in charge. Gu Jinyan and Su Li also stopped and exchanged glances, both seeing a hint of solemnity in each other's eyes.

"What did you say?" Gu Jinyan's voice was low and dangerous, like the calm before a storm.

The person in charge took a deep breath, as if to give himself courage. With trembling hands, he took out a document bag from his briefcase, held it high above his head, and said loudly: "Here is the evidence of your company bribing the bid evaluation experts! If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I will call the police immediately!"

Su Li and Gu Jinyan's faces turned ugly instantly. They never expected that their competitors would resort to such despicable means. If this matter is not handled properly, it will not only affect the company's reputation, but may even put them in jail.

At this moment, steady footsteps were heard from the end of the corridor, and a deep and majestic voice sounded:

"What happened?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall, imposing middle-aged man walking towards them, followed by several followers in suits.

"Chairman..."
