nd it funny that you're asking me this"Jian Ningyi bit her lip, her voice laced with a hint of resentment, as if a mixture of anger and relief. "Six years ago, if you had agreed to be with me, none of..."Does that company still make jewelry And aren't you and [he/she] already divorced How come you're still helping Xiaoxixi." Nan Hanchuan raised an eyebrow, immediately becoming interested. "You wouldn't be... still harboring feelings for her!"

"What nonsense are you talking about I'm only considering letting them join because of Luo Ningxi's mother, Shen Wanru's influence."

"Shen Wanru hasn't passed away many years ago, has she..."

Just as Nan Hanchuan was about to start digging deeper, Mo Yao knocked and walked in.

He held a file in his hand, his face unusually serious.

"Mr. Li, there's something that needs your attention."

Nán Hánchuan was startled.

Mo Yao is a steady person, he rarely sees such an expression on his face.

Li Bochen, however, remained unfazed, calmly opening his mouth and asking, "What's the matter"

Mo Yao handed over the document in his hand, his voice solemn, "President Li, the bidding for that piece of land in West City was unsuccessful."

This piece of land has been a project that the Shengshi Group has been keeping an eye on for a long time. It was specifically approved by the higher-ups and is intended for the construction of recreational facilities.

Originally, Shengshi was determined to win this bid. How could it suddenly fail!

Li Bohan's eyes flashed a moment of anger, "This project has always been progressing smoothly, hasn't it If we can't even get this done, what are the people in the project department doing!"

Nan Hanchuan heard the news and was even more astonished, jumping up from the sofa. "Didn't that piece of land already get approved for Shengshi The bidding was just a formality, how come it suddenly changed now"

Mo Yao steadied himself, he thought he had misheard when he heard the news.

Shengshi was determined to win this project, but it was intercepted at the last moment!

Nan Hanchuan craned his neck to look at the document in Li Bochen's hand. "Let me see, which company is so impressive"

At the sound of Nan Hanchuan's question, Mo Yao's face grew even darker.

"Jinghua Group"

Li Boche looked at the name on the document, his thin lips pursed into a straight line, and threw the document onto the table. "I've never heard of this group. What's their background"

Mo Yao spoke in a low voice, "It's an insider trading operation. I found that someone in this group bribed the bidding committee members, Mr. Li, should we submit the evidence"

"The Essence Group, how come that name sounds so familiar!" Nan Hanchuan glanced over the document, his fingertips rubbing against his jawline, thoughtfully. "They've been getting quite close to the Luo Group lately."

Li Bochen's cold eyes were filled with a sinister glint, his gaze sweeping over Mo Yao.

Keep an eye on this company, and also the Luo Group. Report any problems to me immediately.

"Yes."

……

The Lu Family Group.

Luo Ningxi had just arrived at the company and was about to go to the design department to urge for the progress of the new design drawings, when she saw Luo Yi walking towards the elevator entrance with a beaming smile.

Since the last board meeting where things went sour, the father and daughter have had no contact.

Luo Ningxi turned her face cold and was about to return to the office, but she was suddenly called back by Luo Yi behind her.

"Ningxi, I have something to tell you." Luo Yi quickly walked a few steps to Luo Ningxi's side, without the slightest bit of impatience he had displayed at the board meeting that day.

Luoningxi frowned in confusion, “What Are we talking about promoting Luo Zhiqin to a managerial position again”

"I was careless about this. I should have talked to you before making the decision. It won't happen again." Luo Yi let out a light sigh.

"Zhiqin is still pregnant and doesn't have the energy to deal with the company's affairs. Besides, Luo Shi Group was founded by your mother, and I'm getting old. After a while, I'll give you the projects that are due, and you can also buy back the shares."

Lo Ningxi couldn't believe it.

Luo Yi, is this because the board members have all switched sides and been beaten into submission

Still playing the family card to relax your guard, intentionally

"Alright, Ningxi, you go busy first. I have something to take care of and will be out for a while."

Luo Yi saw that Luo Ningxi didn't speak, smiled and patted her shoulder, then walked into the elevator.

Something's definitely wrong!

Luo Ningxi pondered to herself, immediately returning to her office, intending to call a private investigator to inquire about Luo Yi's recent whereabouts.

Assistant Xiao Jin pushed the door open and walked in from outside.

Xiao Jin is a top student recently admitted to Luoningxi. He is handsome and tall, and more importantly, his mother used to be an elder in the Luo Group.

After the death of Luo Ningxi's mother, Xiao Jin's mother also resigned.

"Luo Manager, I just went to the finance department and found that General Luo transferred a large sum of public funds the day before yesterday."

"What was he doing using public funds He's so bold!" Luo Ningxi thought again of Luo Yi's hypocritical act just now, and a sense of foreboding instantly arose in her heart!

Xiao Jin immediately explained, "It wasn't a personal requisition. It was President Luo's side investing in a project under the company's name."

"What project is worth investing so much money in And such a big decision, he made it all by himself" Luo Ningxi always felt that something was wrong.

In her contemplation, the smartphone in her palm suddenly vibrated, interrupting her train of thought.

The caller ID showed a familiar string of numbers —

Li Bochen!

It's him!

Since the last time she transferred money from the bank, she hadn't seen him for a long time.

What's the point of calling this timelace as being incredibly beautiful."All preparations for this project have been completed, and it can definitely be finished within a year. Moreover, the workers' workload is also very light."Luningxi...
