WARNING! Tsundere President

Chapter 397: You Get What You Deserve III

She was caught off guard by the comment. After awhile, she tried to reply casually, “It doesn’t have to be like that. You can always cook instead while I sit around and wait.”

“Please don’t. Even I don’t trust my own cooking.”

He had never done any kitchen work since the day he was born.

For once, the couple enjoyed a moment of peace.

They savoured the comfort of each other’s company and also the action in bed later that night.

…

The next day, Lu Zhaoyang was engrossed in her work when someone opened the door to her office.

She looked up and saw Xiang Jinxi, who had been away for some time. Behind him, Assistant Qin An was carrying a bag.

“President, how can I help you?” She stood up and greeted him.

Xiang Jinxi said without much expression, “I bought a little something for you while I was away.”

Qin An placed the bag on her desk.

“Thank you.”

Xiang Jinxi nodded and then asked, “Is there anything urgent that I need to know about operations?”

“Nothing. All our projects are going smoothly.”

His concern for the company made her feel a little unsettled.

“How is our collaboration with Thunderbolt Corp going?”

“It’s all good. We have no issues.”

Xiang Jinxi seemed to be scanning his surroundings idly, but his attention never left Lu Zhaoyang.

If she sent the email, she would not be so calm.

It seemed that someone was trying to use her.

The document was secured with Thunderbolt Corp’s proprietary encryption technology. It took him a long time to decrypt it. All these suggested to him that the document was genuine.

Since she knew nothing about this, he should just take advantage of the situation.

If he succeeded, he would be able to deliver a blow to Huo Yunting and sabotage his relationship with Lu Zhaoyang.

It did not matter if he failed. It was just a tender. He had his sights set higher than this.

“Bring me the documents that I need to sign.” Xiang Jinxi left after the reminder.

“Okay.”

Lu Zhaoyang was perplexed by his visit. She stowed away the gift and began to compile the papers.

What a strange day today…

…

A few days later, in Thunderbolt Corp’s internal meeting room.

“We spent so much effort to secure the project in the Golden Territory, and now it was awarded to some no-name company. What was it called, Ge Yu? What the hell, they tendered with only one percentage point lower in costs compared to us. Anyone can see that they were competing directly with us!”

“We must launch a thorough investigation into this matter!”

“President, our company has been collaborating with Ge Yu recently. It is suspicious that such a small company could win a tender that we have been gearing for. Something is definitely up. This concerns the company’s interests. We ask that you uncover the truth behind this!”

The higher-ups were all worked up as they demanded Huo Yunting to investigate.

Sitting at the end of the table with his eyes half-closed, Huo Yunting stared at the document lying in front of him. It was their proposal that lost against Ge Yu.

Even if the board did not request it, he would investigate this incident.

The people around him spoke louder and louder. He looked up at them and said, “What’s the rush? It is only a project. Thunderbolt Corp is still here.”

One of the higher-ups said, “This is more about a spy within the company than the project. The project at the Golden Territory was supposed to be our main project this year, but now it is awarded to someone else. We have to consider the morale of our staff and more importantly, the future of this company. The spy must be found and removed from the company!”
