Chapter 981: Questioning Her

Listening to her words, Chi Wen snorted disdainfully.

"Fine, even if it wasn’t stolen at that time, but you’ve been with President Lu day and night for so long, finding a suitable opportunity to locate that document should be quite easy, right?"

Facing Chi Wen’s doubts, Song Yinyin suppressed her anger and replied as calmly as possible:

"Yes, I’ve been together with him 24 hours a day, but I have never been disloyal or unfaithful to him! I would never do something like stealing the bidding proposal!"

"Then how do you explain meeting the Yan Group’s president at the same café early this morning?"

Chi Wen pressed on aggressively.

"We just happened to run into each other!"

"Was it really just a simple coincidence?"

Chi Wen smiled coldly and retorted, "Wasn’t it a secret handoff?"

"You!"

Song Yinyin was furious, nearly bursting out with profanity.

But she still kept her anger in check, saying, "If I really stole the bidding proposal, why would I get caught in photos having coffee with Yan Kejun? That’s just asking to be caught, isn’t it?!"

"Well, who knows? But no matter what, Madam President, you can’t separate yourself from the theft of the bidding proposal."

While speaking, she turned to Lu Jihan, speaking methodically:

"Mr. Lu, you’ve always been someone who distinguishes between personal and professional matters. Even though the bidding proposal theft is over and we won the project, I believe you should treat everyone equally. This way you’ll provide a convincing response to the entire company and all employees."

"Yes, yes."

A few executives nodded in agreement.

Lu Jihan’s hands, hanging by his sides, were clenched tightly.

One executive, known for fairness and impartiality, was frank despite Lu Jihan and Song Yinyin’s status:

"Mr. Lu, since this matter involves Madam President, shouldn’t it be thoroughly investigated? There are many doubts, and already rumors are spreading about an insider in our company. I’m concerned if these get out to our partners, it could affect your reputation as well as the Mainland Group’s."

Chi Wen snorted coldly upon hearing this.

"Mr. Lu, Director Zhao is quite right. If we leave this unchecked, this matter could slowly ferment; what company would dare cooperate with us afterwards? Please, Mr. Lu, be impartial."

Others added their support.

"Mr. Lu, this matter cannot be taken lightly."

"Yes, Mr. Lu."

Those words seemed to mark Song Yinyin with a ’traitor’ label.

She panicked and defended herself:

"I’ve said it wasn’t me, why don’t you believe me?! Just because I’ve been to Jinhan’s office and broke his computer, you suspect me? What about Chi Wen? She goes in and out of his office every day, why don’t you suspect her?!"

Song Yinyin angrily pointed at Chi Wen, biting her lower lip hard.

However, Director Zhao defended Chi Wen, saying, "Although Secretary Chi has been with the Mainland Group for less than six months, she was vetted by a headhunting firm, ensuring no background issues or past offenses.

Recently, she helped our company adjust a few cases by spotting tiny deficiencies, allowing related departments to make necessary changes and successfully land several projects.

For Mainland Group, Secretary Chi is a rare talent. I believe she wouldn’t do anything detrimental to the company."

After speaking, Director Zhao glanced at Chi Wen with appreciation, nodding slightly.
