Chapter 155: Chapter 155 Teaching a Lesson to the Toad (5)

"Some say she has the guts of a leopard. Some say she’s a toad lusting after a swan," Minister Meng spun his computer chair, revealing a trace of contemplation, "But indeed, when she presented this suggestion to the chairman before, the chairman didn’t seem very angry, and even had her write a report."

"Minister, are you suggesting that—"

"Perhaps, the chairman is well aware that the Mingyue project is very likely a losing business. Thus, the chairman was just looking for a way out. After all, the chairman has always been a shrewd businessman; otherwise, he couldn’t have grown Changda so big."

Upon hearing Minister Meng’s words, a few people in the office immediately fell into deep thought.

"Minister—" After a while, Group Leader Jiang shared his inner thoughts, "Maybe, the chairman really wants to use this newcomer. Otherwise, how could he let her write a report when he knew her idea? She indeed wrote such a report, which for a newcomer, is somewhat—"

This was why they started paying attention to Gu Nuan’s report. Gu Nuan was new, and the fact that she had served tea to Chen Jiaming indicated some scheming; she couldn’t be so reckless as to be unaware like some newcomers who blindly run into a wall.

It could only mean that Gu Nuan dared to write this report because she had received guidance from some highly skilled person.

Who could be instructing Gu Nuan to be so bold? Who was backing Gu Nuan up?

Fang Yongxing?

No, Fang Yongxing didn’t have the capability. At best, Fang Yongxing was just a group leader, although he excelled at work, his status was always there.

Then who else could it be?

In the Investment Department, there wasn’t anyone else who was close enough to Gu Nuan to do such a thing.

Chen Jiaming, as far as they knew, was simply not the kind of person to do such a thing.

So the person behind Gu Nuan must be—none other than the chairman himself, Xiao Jianming.

Now, the more everyone thought about it, the more they were convinced this reasoning was correct.

The old fox Xiao Jianming, how easy it would be for him to use a newcomer.

Xu Zhilin saw the minister and group leader exchanging mysterious glances and couldn’t help but wonder.

Why were these two so concerned about the Mingyue project?

Because Group Leader Jiang once took on the project, and they didn’t want Group Three to succeed? But now the issue with this project was no longer whether Group Three could be successful; it had become a high-level decision on the project’s viability, following this logic.

There seemed to be some deeper, more enigmatic matters at play.

Suddenly, Minister Meng grabbed the telephone receiver on the desk and gestured to Xu Zhilin, who was standing opposite him, to step out.

Xu Zhilin knew the other party was asking him to leave, so he turned and walked out. When he reached the office door, he heard Minister Meng’s call connecting to the other party, and a voice saying, "Mr. Lin—"

Who is this?

Xu Zhilin thought hard but couldn’t figure out who in the company went by Mr. Lin.

Moreover, there definitely were many customers with the surname Lin; it was too confusing to differentiate.

Xu Zhilin couldn’t make heads or tails of it and pushed open the office door to leave. After walking a few steps, the elite from University B suddenly had a lightbulb moment—a reflection of his intelligence being from University B.

Soon, he seemed to understand what was going on.

The Mingyue project appeared to be fraught with obstacles, but he had read the material since Mingyue was a project of Group One; some records remained with Group One. From what he could tell of the original plan, Mingyue was, in fact, a very good investment project.
