Chapter 711


    The proposal presented by Nanshi Corporation was entirely different from what Ouyang Li and the


    others had heard from eavesdropping.


    This proposal sounded more sophisticated, intricate, and logical.


    When they talked about Serenity Street''s promising future, they even received cheers from the


    audience.


    After everyone had presented their proposal, the next step was to wait for the expert panel''s discussion


    and announcement of the results in the afternoon.


    Even though the results had not yet been announced, everyone already knew that Nanshi Corporation


    would win.


    Ouyang Li red at Yu Xiang, and thetter''s face turned pale.


    She seemed to know what went wrong, but she was not certain.


    Initially, Ouyang Li wanted to mock Nan Chen after winning the bid, but given how things had turned


    out, she would no longer have the chance to do so.


    Nan Chen ignored her the entire time and did not show even the tiniest hint ofcency.


    He seemed to have gone there solely to watch a show and was unconcerned about the oue.


    Or maybe there was no surprise or expectation because he already knew what would happen. He was


    confident that his team could manage everything.


    Hence, when the event was over, he shook hands with the authorities present and left.


    Ouyang Li stood up but almost lost her bnce. Seeing that, Yu Xiang quickly reached out to support


    her boss.


    Yet, Ouyang Li pped Yu Xiang''s hand away and stared at her with hatred in her eyes.


    As Ouyang Li walked out of the door, a man in ck ran into her and swiftly stuffed a small listening


    device into her bag.


    ording to the original n, Ouyang Li was supposed to eat lunch with Yu Xiang during the lunch


    break and find a ce to rest for a while before returning to the venue to await the result


    announcement.


    Then, she would be interviewed by reporters as the winner to prove that she had solidified her position


    within thepany.


    Unfortunately, things were bad for her now.


    It was highly likely that Nanshi Corporation would be selected for the project, despite the fact that the


    results had not yet been made public.


    It would be pointless to be interviewed if she were the loser.


    Nobody wanted to be pped in the face, and she was not a masochist.


    “Ms. Ouyang, I find this to be quite odd,” stated Yu Xiang weakly.


    “What''s so strange? The n you got was fake! Didn''t you say you took care of Jiang Zhe? Didn''t you


    say you had total control over his actions? In reality, you have no control over his actions. Instead, they


    haveplete control over your actions! They deceived you with a fake n, and you still have the


    audacity to speak?” Ouyang Li bellowed.


    Yu Xiang dared not say anything in response to Ouyang Li''s criticism.

    However, even if she remained silent, Ouyang Li would not let this go.


    “Since you''re in charge of this matter, you''re ountable for it. Go back to Archulea. No. Go to


    Alendor. Stay as far away from me as you can. Also, there will be no year-end bonus for you. You''re


    free to resign if you''re not satisfied!”


    Ouyang Li was still enraged and continued to yell at Yu Xiang.


    Yu Xiang was also exasperated, but she could not do anything.


    Although she had never intended this to happen, she was ultimately to me.


    “Ms. Ouyang, even if we weren''t sessful in getting this project, there are still other projects that are


    waiting for us. Furthermore, we''re still unsure of the cause of this. I think it''s unfair that I have to take on


    this responsibility before we find out the truth,” Yu Xiang remarked.


    Ouyang Li became even angrier when she heard that. “Unfair? Tell me then. What do you think I should


    do to be fair? Should I not hold you ountable for this? Should I just give you a promotion and even


    increase your pay? You were the one who imed you had control over Jiang Zhe, but now that things


    have turned out this way, you''re not willing to take responsibility?”


    Yu Xiang quickly shook her head in resignation. “Of course, I''m willing to take responsibility if Jiang Zhe


    is the problem, but what if that''s not the case?”


    “If it''s not your fault, who do you believe should be med? Is it my fault?” Ouyang Li questioned.


    “It''s possible that Nanshi Corporation learned about our n and revised their proposal at thest


    minute. If so, who on earth would have leaked our n? Could there be spies among us?” asked Yu


    Xiang.


    “You''re still trying to make excuses, huh?” Ouyang Li grew angrier.


    “Ms. Ouyang, please calm down. I''m not making any excuses. I''m perfectly fine with it if you want to fire


    me. After all, I do have to take responsibility for this situation. However, if there''s a spy on our team,


    your movements will most likely be known to your opponents in the future. Your business ns may


    also be exposed. Isn''t that horrifying? Furthermore, you''ve said that Mr. Ouyang became that way


    because the Nan family nted a spy around him. What if the Nan family has more than one spy? Is


    there really no chance of that happening?”


    Yu Xiang''s words enlightened Ouyang Li. After some consideration, she concluded that what Yu Xiang


    said made sense.


    “What should we do then?” Ouyang Li inquired.


    “Please give me some time to investigate this matter,” replied Yu Xiang.


    “How are you going to conduct your investigation? Are you nning to meet everyone in thepany


    and go over each one individually?”


    “That''s not necessary. I think—”


    Before Yu Xiang could finish speaking, Ouyang Li''s phone rang.


    Ouyang Li reached into her bag and felt something hard that was shaped like a button.


    There should not be such a thing in her bag, so she took it out.


    Yu Xiang recognized the object and immediately eximed, “This is a listening device!”


    Hearing that, Ouyang Li was shocked. “A listening device?”


    “Yes! This must be a listening device!”mented Yu Xiang.


    “Who put this inside my bag? When was it ced?”


    “It''s hard to say. If it was ced inside your bag a long time ago, the other party must have heard the


    details of our meeting,” Yu Xiang hurriedly responded.


    Ouyang Li was not stupid. Naturally, she understood what Yu Xiang was trying to say.


    “Are you implying that I''m the one who leaked the n? So I''m to me?”


    “That''s not what I mean, but we can''t rule that possibility out. At the very least, it shows that there''s a


    spy in our team, and the Nan family sent the spy. If we don''t figure out who the spy is, we''ll never be


    able to win against the Nan family. We don''t even know how many listening devices have been ced


    around you. It''s also possible that they''re spying on your personal life, and that is terrifying!”


    Ouyang Li fell silent.


    Although she was a strong-minded woman, she was the type to question her abilities when she felt


    defeated.


    People who were doubting themselves were the easiest to fool, and Yu Xiang happened to be a master


    at tricking.


    She knew she had to persuade Ouyang Li to continue trusting her.


    As a woman, she had an advantage over men when it came to getting close to Ouyang Li. Therefore, it


    was easier for her to win Ouyang Li''s trust.


    Now that things were in a mess, she needed to find a way to fix it as soon as possible to ensure that


    she could get closer to the core of Sunshine Corporation.


    “Don''t worry, Ms. Ouyang. I''ll get to the bottom of this,” Yu Xiang promised.


    “Fine. I''ll give you another chance.” In the end, Ouyang Li was persuaded.
