Chapter 982: That’s Not How You Use "Tiger Watching Its Prey

"Thank you, Director Zhao, for your trust and appreciation."

Chi Wen nodded, speaking seriously:

"I haven’t been with the company for long, but these past few months have been the most valuable and meaningful in my career. I’ve learned a lot here. I’m committed to standing with the company through thick and thin, witnessing its path to glory; how could I possibly dig my own grave at such a critical moment?"

Hmph, how grandiose!

Song Yinyin was furious and was about to point out the inconsistencies, but Lu Jihan stopped her:

"Enough, Yinyin. Although Secretary Chi hasn’t been by my side for long, I’m well aware of his abilities. She’s better than someone who plays tricks behind others’ backs."

"How do you know she’s not someone who plays tricks behind others’ backs? Do you know her that well?"

Song Yinyin was also incensed. Why does everyone believe Chi Wen, but not her?

Just because of that gossip news in the morning?

So now her character is being questioned?!

She gritted her teeth, almost speaking through clenched teeth, "So, are you implying that I’m the one who stole the bidding case?"

"That’s not what I mean."

"Then what do you mean?!"

Song Yinyin’s voice inadvertently rose.

Lu Jihan looked at her, his expression severe, "Yinyin, there are still many doubts in this matter that need to be clarified. Don’t be agitated yet."

"Agitated? How am I agitated? You’re clearly wronging me!"

Song Yinyin was exasperated, her pretty face flushed with anger.

And at this moment, someone added fuel to the fire.

"But President Lu, if we leave it unchecked and can’t catch the mole, what if he makes the next move? What will we do then?"

"Enough, I have my own arrangements!"

Lu Jihan waved his large hand, instructing, "Everyone, leave!"

"But..."

The executives wanted to say something more, but seeing Lu Jihan’s expression, they knew he was on the verge of losing his temper.

No one dared to speak anymore. The executives exchanged glances, nodded, turned, and left.

Chi Wen hesitated for a moment but eventually followed the executives out of the office.

Once everyone else had left the room, and only the two of them remained, Song Yinyin bit her thin lip and looked up at Lu Jihan.

Without outsiders around, she spoke directly.

"Lu Jihan, be honest with me. Do you, like Chi Wen, suspect that I stole the bidding plan for the Yan Family?"

"No, I don’t believe that."

Lu Jihan looked at her with a determined gaze, lifting his hand to cradle her face.

But she brushed it away, annoyed, "Then why did you speak up for Chi Wen earlier? Haven’t you noticed? Chi Wen seems strange!"

"From a work perspective, there’s no issue with her."

Lu Jihan addressed it objectively.

Song Yinyin snorted coldly, "I think he has issues no matter how I look at him!"

He laughed helplessly and asked, "What’s wrong? Tell me."

"Didn’t you see the way he looks at you? It’s unusual. It doesn’t look like a subordinate looking at a boss; more like a hungry woman eyeing a man. His gaze towards you is predatory."

"Silly, ’predatory’ isn’t used like that."

Lu Jihan chuckled and held her face again.

"Besides, it doesn’t matter how she feels about me; what matters is you. Yinyin, I don’t want you to get caught up in company affairs. But since things have happened, I must handle them impartially. After all, this is a company with thousands of people relying on it to live. Each of my decisions determines their future. Do you understand?"
