Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 650: The Zhan Family’s Son Comes of Age
"How could this happen? Is someone betraying our company?" Xia Luo asked anxiously.
Yan Yu looked at her anxious expression, which didn’t seem like acting, so he continued to probe, "We don’t know yet. Zhan is already investigating it, hoping to quickly find the traitor. However, very few people had access to this proposal, only the planning department, Zhan, and me, oh, and you. You were also in Zhan’s office. Only we had access, and we don’t know where the problem occurred. If there really is corporate espionage within the company, this is a major issue, something that hasn’t happened to the Zhan Group in decades. Miss Xia, think carefully over the next few days. Have you come into contact with anyone? Did you see me deliver the proposal to Zhan’s office that day?"
"So, you’re suspecting me?" Xia Luo asked with a frown.
Yan Yu didn’t expect her to be so straightforward, and awkwardly said, "I’m not suspecting you. We just don’t know where the problem occurred, so we’re all reviewing. Colleagues in the planning department are also recollecting, including myself. However, Zhan said he absolutely trusts you. I’m only telling you because you asked me. Clarifying these things and clearing suspicions is beneficial for both of us."
"I was indeed present when you delivered the proposal to Xiao, but you deliver so many documents to him every day. How would I know which one was the proposal? I don’t even know what proposal you’re talking about, and I leave for and return from work with Xiao every day without coming into contact with anyone. Believe me or not, I don’t care, and whether Xiao believes me or not, I am innocent. If you still don’t believe me, starting today, I won’t be in the office. I will leave and won’t stay in the office anymore." Xia Luo said angrily, pledging to Yan Yu with determination.
Yan Yu was startled and quickly apologized, "I’m sorry, Miss Xia, I’ve already said that Zhan said he trusts you. If you won’t stay in the office, how can I explain this to Zhan?"
Zhan cared very much for her, he could see it even with his eyes closed.
If his suspicion caused her to leave, Zhan would definitely be furious.
"I won’t tell him it was you who told me these things, but I also can’t continue to stay here. If this kind of situation happens again, I won’t be able to clear my name even if I jump into the Yellow River. I don’t want these matters to affect my relationship with him." Xia Luo declared resolutely.
With that said, she turned and left.
Yan Yu patted his own forehead, thinking about what he’d done.
Sure enough, when Zhan Yunxiao found out Xia Luo was moving out of the office, he urgently asked, "Why?"
Xia Luo gave a bitter smile, "I heard there’s a corporate spy in the company. I know you trust me, but even if you trust me, others within the company don’t. So, to avoid becoming a subject of suspicion, I’m moving out to avoid causing you trouble."
Zhan Yunxiao, with a serious face, said, "I said I trust you, as long as I trust you, that’s enough. Other people’s thoughts aren’t important. Did Yan Yu say something to you? I’ll call him over right away to scold him."
"Don’t call Special Assistant Yan, I thought this myself, it has nothing to do with him." Xia Luo quickly stopped him.
Zhan Yunxiao said, "No matter what, I won’t let you leave. I’ll handle this properly. Luoluo, you don’t have to worry about anything. Stay here and keep studying well, I’ll take care of everything."
Xia Luo frowned, but being forcibly kept there by Zhan Yunxiao, she had no choice but to put her packed things back.
However, the investigation results were not promising.
Not only did they fail to find the person who leaked the proposal, but the newly established Mu Group was also very mysterious.
They weren’t looking for partners, indicating they could handle the project themselves.
And according to Zhan Yunxiao, apart from the Zhan Family in Jiangcheng, no other group could handle the project entirely. This meant the Mu Group was prepared in advance; they might even be the mastermind behind the small company suing them.
That small company was just a shell company.
A shell company with hardly any people in its planning department, how could it possibly produce such a complex proposal?
Zhan Yunxiao himself tried to approach the Mu Group, hoping to meet their boss.
But after visiting in person, he was refused an audience.
The small company kept suing them and even started spouting nonsense in the media, humiliating the Zhan Group. This made the Zhan Group’s shareholders very angry and began questioning Zhan Yunxiao’s capabilities.
Having no other choice, Zhan Hanjue had to step in and return to the company.
Because it was so sudden, he didn’t notify Zhan Yunxiao in advance.
As a result, he found Xia Luo also in the office.
Yan Yu explained desperately, head down, "Zhan, it’s not that I didn’t report to you in advance, I just didn’t expect Mr. Zhan to arrive."
Zhan Hanjue glanced at Xia Luo and then said to Zhan Yunxiao, "I told Yan Yu not to report it. Has she always been in your office?"
"Dad, this matter has nothing to do with Xia Luo. It’s my failure to handle the trouble promptly, it’s my problem," Zhan Yunxiao replied.
Zhan Hanjue said, "Whether it’s your problem or not, I’ll analyze it with you later. However, right now, shareholders are very angry and are beginning to question your capabilities. So, could this young lady please step out for now?"
"Luoluo, you leave with Yan Yu first, I have things to discuss with my dad." Zhan Yunxiao said to Xia Luo.
Xia Luo nodded and glanced at Zhan Hanjue, then left with Yan Yu.
After Xia Luo left, Zhan Hanjue asked Zhan Yunxiao, "Has she always been in your office?"
"Yes, I am tutoring her." Zhan Yunxiao said.
Zhan Hanjue snorted coldly, "I always thought you were smarter than others, mature and reliable, and trusted you thoroughly. I didn’t expect you’d disappoint me like this. Keeping the girl you like in your own office—how can you possibly do your job with this attitude? The company doesn’t have a formal rule against office romances, but every office has unwritten rules to prevent relationships from affecting work quality. Yet you actually arranged for her to stay in your office. Why don’t you just resign and sit at home, dating her every day?"
"Dad, I said this had nothing to do with Xia Luo. It’s my responsibility, and I’ll bear it entirely." Zhan Yunxiao frowned.
Zhan Hanjue took a deep breath.
He was not a stubborn and overbearing patriarch and was willing to give his children enough freedom.
But it seemed that when it comes to love, everyone, without exception, becomes blind.
"I don’t care whether it has anything to do with her, but your work ability is no longer convincing. Starting today, I’ll be returning to the company, and you will follow me. However, this girl can’t stay at the company anymore."
