After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it
Chapter 96 Undercurrent
Yan Jin tightly grasped the letter in her hand, her fingertips turning white. Although the content of this anonymous letter was brief, it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples. Who wrote this letter? Was it a kind reminder or a malicious slander? Countless thoughts flashed through Yan Jin's mind, but none of them could answer her doubts.
She decided to find out the source of the letter first. After returning to the company, Yan Jin immediately asked her assistant to retrieve all the surveillance videos near the company, trying to find any suspicious people or vehicles. At the same time, she also secretly investigated the competitor company, trying to find some clues.
Hard work pays off. After some investigation, Yan Jin discovered that a manager named Liu from a rival company had met with a suspicious person in a cafe the day before the bidding meeting, and that suspicious person was the one who delivered the anonymous letter to the Xiang Group.
Things seemed to become clear. Could it be that the rival company deliberately created panic in order to get the project and wanted Xiang Group to back down? But if that was the case, why did they send a warning to Xiang Yu at the same time?
Just when Yan Jin was puzzled, Xiang Yu suddenly came to her office. With a serious face, he handed a document to Yan Jin and said in a deep voice: "I also received a warning."
Yan Jin took the document and found that it was an anonymous letter with almost the same content as the one she had received, except that the envelope sent to Xiang Yu did not use any handwriting or logo related to the competitor company.
Two anonymous letters with the same content, but two different destinations. What secrets are hidden in them? Yan Jin and Xiang Yu both realized that this matter was more complicated and more dangerous than they had imagined...
"It seems that we have all underestimated the risks behind this cooperation..." Xiang Yu's voice was low and his eyes were deep. It seemed that he had a thousand words in his voice, but it turned into a sigh the moment he opened his mouth. "Someone doesn't want us to win this project smoothly."
Before Yan Jin could ask in detail, there was a knock on the office door, and the assistant's voice came from outside the door: "Boss Yan, Chairman Zhao is here and wants to talk to you alone."
Chairman Zhao walked into Yan Jin's office alone. He looked a little tired, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes seemed to have deepened a little. Yan Jin signaled the assistant to pour tea, and then asked Chairman Zhao to sit on the sofa.
"Mr. Yan, I'm sorry to come here this time because I want to talk to you alone about something." Chairman Zhao took the teacup, but did not drink it. He just stroked the wall of the cup with his hand, with a hint of hesitation in his tone.
Yan Jin observed Chairman Zhao's expression calmly, and had already guessed something in his heart. "Chairman Zhao, please tell me, is there anything that cannot be discussed between us?"
Chairman Zhao sighed and said in a low voice, "Regarding this project, there is actually some...sensitive information that has not been made public." He paused, as if organizing his words, "This information is of great importance. Once leaked, it may cause great trouble, so..."
"So, you are worried that our Xiang Group cannot guarantee the safety of the project?" Yan Jin took over his words, his tone calm but with a hidden edge.
"No, of course not!" Chairman Zhao waved his hands hurriedly, "I believe in the strength of Xiang Group, but..." He hesitated to speak, and finally did not break the window paper.
Yan Jin did not ask further questions. She knew that everyone had their own difficulties, and Chairman Zhao was taking a big risk by being willing to reveal these things in private.
"I understand." Yan Jin nodded gently, "Chairman Zhao, rest assured, I will handle this matter carefully and ensure the smooth progress of the project."
After seeing Chairman Zhao off, Yan Jin immediately contacted Xiang Yu and relayed Chairman Zhao's words to him.
"It seems that this pool of water is deeper than we thought." Xiang Yu frowned after listening to Yan Jin's story, "We must find out as soon as possible what secrets are hidden behind this."
"I've asked my assistant to check Chairman Zhao's recent schedule and the people he's been in contact with, hoping to find some clues." Yan Jin analyzed calmly, "Also, we can't ignore our competitors. Since they were able to send us anonymous letters at the same time, it means they know everything about our actions."
"You mean, there may be one of our people among them?" Xiang Yu's eyes became sharp.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Yan Jin nodded, "Leave this matter to me, I will find out as soon as possible."
As night fell, Yan Jin sat alone in the office, with Chairman Zhao's recent itinerary displayed on the computer screen. Suddenly, an inconspicuous record caught her attention: three days ago, Chairman Zhao had a phone call with an unfamiliar number, and the call lasted for an hour.
Yan Jin immediately asked her assistant to track the number, but the reply she received was: the number is invalid.
Empty number? How could it be an empty number?
An uneasy premonition surged in Yan Jin's heart. She realized that she and Xiang Yu might have touched upon a huge conspiracy...
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the office door, and a deep voice came from outside the door: "Can I come in?" It was Manager Liu's voice.
Manager Liu had a fake smile on his face, as if his night visit to Yan Jin was just a "friendly exchange" at work. "Boss Yan, you are still busy so late, you must be very tired." He put the exquisite snack gift box on the table, "It's just a small gift, please accept it."
Yan Jin looked at him calmly. Ever since she received the anonymous letter, she had been more cautious about Manager Liu from the competing company. Especially after Chairman Zhao revealed that there might be a hidden story behind the project, she suspected that Manager Liu had something to do with it.
"Manager Liu, you are too polite. It's so late now. Let's talk about it tomorrow." Yan Jin said in a cold tone, and did not mean to invite him to sit down.
"It's like this. I heard that Engineer Guo had some questions about the technical solution recently. I just happened to have some ideas and wanted to discuss them with him." Manager Liu said, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally scanning the documents on Yan Jin's desk, trying to catch some clues.
Yan Jin sneered in his heart. Engineer Guo was dull and focused on technology. He was not good at socializing. Would Manager Liu be so kind as to take the initiative to discuss technical issues with him? I'm afraid he had other intentions.
"I appreciate Manager Liu's kindness. Mr. Guo hasn't been feeling well recently and has asked for leave to rest. If you have any questions, let's talk about it when he comes back." Yan Jin's tone was firm and unquestionable.
Manager Liu was frustrated and his smile was a little hard to maintain, but he quickly concealed it, exchanged a few words of greeting and left.
After watching Manager Liu leave, Yan Jin immediately called Engineer Guo. A weak cough came from the other end of the phone. Engineer Guo told Yan Jin that he had been studying the security of a key technology in the project recently and found some abnormal data. It seemed that someone had tampered with it, but the specific situation needed further investigation.
"Mr. Guo, don't tell anyone about this and don't trust anyone. I will arrange someone to pick you up as soon as possible." Yan Jin's tone was serious. She realized that they were already walking on the edge of a knife. If they were not careful, they would be doomed.
After hanging up the phone, Yan Jin received an encrypted message from Xiang Yu on her phone: See you at the usual place at 10 o'clock tonight...
As night fell and the neon lights of the city flickered, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu sat opposite each other in a secret private club. Under the dim light, both of them looked solemn.
"I have already made arrangements with Engineer Guo. He will provide backups of all abnormal data." Xiang Yu pushed a glass of red wine in front of Yan Jin. "It seems that this pool of water is deeper than we thought."
Yan Jin gently shook the wine glass, and the scarlet liquid swirled in the glass, reflecting her deep eyes. "What's going on with Chairman Zhao?"
"He has arranged for someone to investigate the possible connection between Manager Liu and the project, but you also know that this kind of thing takes time." Xiang Yu's tone revealed a hint of helplessness, "What we can do now is to race against time and get the key evidence before they act."
"I understand." Yan Jin put down his wine glass, his eyes firm, "I have asked the team to analyze the abnormal data provided by Engineer Guo overnight, hoping to find a breakthrough."
"Jin'er, you..." Xiang Yu hesitated as he looked at the calm and self-possessed woman in front of him. He felt mixed emotions. He once thought she was indestructible and didn't need his protection, but now he understood that all her strength was to protect the persistence in his heart.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on." Yan Jin gave him a reassuring look, stood up and walked to the window, overlooking the brightly lit city, "This time, I will not only win, but also make those hiding in the dark pay the price!"
At this moment, Yan Jin's phone vibrated, and a message from Chairman Zhao came into view: The project may be urgently stopped, wait for my call for the details.
Yan Jin's heart suddenly sank, and a bad premonition came to his mind...
"What's wrong?" Xiang Yu noticed her abnormality and walked quickly to her side.
Yan Jin didn't say anything, but handed him the phone. The information on the screen was particularly dazzling in the dim light. Xiang Yu's face instantly became solemn. He grabbed Yan Jin's arm and said in a deep voice: "It seems that we must act in advance..."
