Chapter 154: Chapter 154 Teaching a Lesson to the Toad (4)

This was simply a Godsent opportunity.

Xu Zhilin rubbed his hands together and immediately used a folder to cover his hands, maneuvering the mouse. In no time, he copied the file Gu Nuan was working on and sent a copy to a group of his own email accounts using the company’s email system. Then, he erased the traces of his operation.

Everything seemed to be seamless.

When he leisurely walked back to his desk, Gu Nuan had returned from outside.

Gu Nuan, who returned to her desk, seemed to notice nothing. She sat down and continued to type earnestly on the keyboard.

Seeing that she hadn’t noticed anything, Xu Zhilin too sat down and immediately opened his email to find the draft file Gu Nuan had written.

At first glance, it was clear that the document was marked as a report to the chairman.

Xu Zhilin felt a sting in his chest and his eyes reddened.

This deaf mute had no real skill, but had managed to brown-nose all the way to the chairman.

The more he thought about it, the more unbearable his anger became.

How could this be? How could she surpass him?

At that moment, Qiu Wenduo gave him a look towards the team leader: It was an opportunity to suck up.

Xu Zhilin straightened his tie at the collar, stood up, and followed Qiu Wenduo to Team Leader Jiang’s desk.

Team Leader Jiang glanced at the two of them, opened the secret file Xu Zhilin had sent to his email. After verifying that it was indeed a file stolen from Gu Nuan, his expression was just as grave as Xu Zhilin’s. Then, he stood up, knocked on the door, and walked into the Minister’s office.

Not long after, Xu Zhilin received a call to go to the Minister’s office to give his account. With this, his heartbeat skipped. Qiu Wenduo was right; his opportunity had finally arrived.

Though it was merely their Investment Department’s Minister’s office, previously, Xu Zhilin didn’t even have a chance to exchange a word with the Minister as he was just a newcomer two days into the company.

Every newcomer was like that, and Xu Zhilin was no exception. Unless, like Gu Nuan, someone was outrageously lucky.

Entering the Minister’s office, Xu Zhilin tried hard to maintain his composure as he glanced at the middle-aged man sitting behind the desk.

He had heard that Minister Meng and Team Leader Fang Yongxing from the third group were contemporaries at the company, both of similar age.

However, clearly, compared to the scruffy-looking Team Leader Fang Yongxing who was still just a team leader, it was obvious at a glance who was faring better: Minister Meng, with his neatly parted hair, dressed in an expensive suit and looking spirited.

Xu Zhilin recalled what Qiu Wu had said before and steeled his inner resolve, calling out, "Minister Meng."

Minister Meng saw the loyal look in his eyes, nodded deeply, and said, "You’ve done a good job with this."

"Thank you for the opportunity, Minister," Xu Zhilin replied with the practiced ease of office lingo.

Minister Meng then turned to Jiang, the team leader, "What do you think?"

Team Leader Jiang raised his hands high, showing an exaggerated look of surprise, "Incredible! How could a newcomer be so impertinent towards the chairman? And to suggest selling Mingyue? Doesn’t she know Mingyue is the chairman’s prized possession?"

Xu Zhilin had briefly looked over the material Gu Nuan had written. Indeed, it listed several reasons why Mingyue should be sold off at a low price, with each point made convincingly and forcefully, employing lots of business operations knowledge. It showed that she was well-prepared and determined to see it through.

Honestly, anyone reading Gu Nuan’s report might indeed start to have doubts about the Mingyue project.

Xu Zhilin couldn’t help but think: This deaf mute truly had some real ability, not just talk.
