Chapter 91 - Neigui

The assistant bent down to show her goodwill. He took out a small notebook from the pocket of his suit jacket and started to read out the details of the day. "These are about the few things that need to be done today, because some of our business partners have free time in the morning. I've already helped you push back the time until tomorrow morning."

Yu Cen Ran patted the assistant's shoulder and said, "Very good."

Next, Yu Cen Ran quickly walked up the stairs with her assistant following closely behind her. She started to mutter to herself and began to explain the things she needed to pay attention to during the meeting, and Yu Cen Ran would sometimes nod to indicate that she had heard it.

Very quickly, the two of them arrived at the 22nd floor. Unlike the 23rd floor of the CEO's office, the 22nd floor was filled with conference rooms. Yu Cen Ran stood at the door, pinched the corner of his shirt, glanced at his tie, and then pushed the door open.

In the middle of the meeting room, there was a huge conference table, with the two sides of the table already seated, with the main seat in the middle as the center. The two sides were arranged according to their positions, and the manager of the investment department was seated on the fourth seat on the left.

Yu Cen Ran sat down and casually rolled up his sleeves, revealing a small, muscular arm. Yu Cen Ran said coldly, "Everyone, I believe you should know the purpose of this meeting."

Everyone nodded their heads. The meeting officially began on Yu Cen Ran's right hand side. One by one, they stood up to express their opinions. The assistant sat beside Yu Cen Ran as the pen in his hand was rotating rapidly to record the meeting's contents.

After finishing, Yu Cen Ran suddenly said, "Alright, let's talk about the overseas expansion project here. Our corporation has bigger issues to discuss and settle."

Pausing for a moment, Yu Cen Ran's eyes were sharp as he looked at the investment department's manager. "About the matter of the investment department's investment planning plan being leaked, investment department's manager, do you have something to say to everyone here?"

The department head was so scared that he almost fell off his chair and onto the ground. From the moment Yu Cen Ran said that his plan had been leaked, the department head knew that something bad was going to happen.

Although the netizens' public opinion had gradually calmed down, the media did not catch any footage of the South Bridge, nor did they receive any latest news. With the help of Yu Cen Ran's PR Department, things gradually calmed down.

And today's meeting's main purpose was to rectify the loophole of this public relations crisis. If he was not careful, he would face a personnel transfer or even worse outcome.

Trembling as he spoke, the department manager's answer was obviously unsatisfactory. Yu Cen Ran raised her head with one hand against her temple as a trace of impatience flashed across her eyes. "If something happens, you're just going to be perfunctory, right?"

The department manager's legs suddenly went soft as he stuttered. His expression became even more nervous. The confusion in his words was completely illogical, making it impossible to hear what was being said.

Yu Cen Ran knocked on the table with her long fingers and a cold light flashed in her eyes. She said with dissatisfaction, "How did you manage to enter the Yu Group with your ability?"

His heart skipped a beat. He had clearly been sentenced to death.

The department manager's face was ashen. He was prepared to pack up and leave when Yu Cen Ran spoke again, "Do you remember what I told you to do?"

Yu Cen Ran asked the department manager to think about what he had done. On the day of the leak, Yu Cen Ran personally drove to the investment department for the first time, and asked him to find out who it was.

With so many people in the Internal Affairs Bureau, it was not easy to uncover a spy. Everyone had seen the scheme, and anyone could be a spy. At such a critical time, who would be so stupid as to reveal themselves?

No one wants to ruin their own future.

The department manager's mind raced. He decided to push the scapegoat out and temporarily hold onto his position, "It's Chen Yilin. The traitor is her. She leaked the secret to the Huo Group."

Hearing this, Yu Cen Ran didn't even raise her eyes. Her thin lips moved as she spat out two words, "Reason."

"Chen Yilin and the CEO's wife are at odds. Everyone in the investment department knows about this matter. The two of them are always at odds with each other in private. Chen Yilin has the motive of selling out the investment department."

The department manager was very satisfied with his excuse, thinking that he could finally get away with it. However, in the next second, Yu Cen Ran's hand slapped the table and a crisp "Pa" sound rang out, scaring everyone.

Yu Cen Ran raised her eyebrows as she placed both hands on the table and said in an unfriendly tone, "Trash!"

Yu Cen Ran's sharp gaze shot straight at the department manager. The latter almost kneeled down on the spot. "This is your way of doing things. Carry on using force and don't tell the truth!"

The moment Yu Cen Ran's words came out, the department manager knew that there was no hope for him to stay any longer. He had climbed his way through the Yu Group for so many years, and had finally gotten his current position.

A highly qualified manager was kicked out of the Yu Group. This meant that there was no place for him in A City.

Thinking of this, the department manager gathered up his courage and asked, "If the CEO thinks that it's not Chen Yilin, then according to your brilliant opinion, who could it be?"

Who could it be? Who was this traitor? The answer to the question captivated everyone. Everyone wanted to see who had the guts to do something right under Yu Cen Ran's nose!

As time passed, everyone held their breath, waiting for the other party to arrive.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was heavy, and the silence in the room was so heavy that one could hear the sound of a needle dropping. Yu Cen Ran's tapping on the table suddenly stopped as her thin lips moved, "He's here."

At this moment, the door to the meeting room was pushed open. A beautiful and elegant lady walked in with a cup of coffee in her hand. She stopped in front of Yu Cen Ran and lowered her head slightly. He turned around and placed the coffee on the table.

The investment department's manager exclaimed, "Julie?"

This lady was Julie from the investment department.

Julie put the coffee down and said softly, "Watch your mouth. Please continue the meeting. I'll take my leave first."

The people in the meeting room looked at each other and whispered to each other. Julie faintly felt abnormal. She bent her body and quickly tried to leave the room. But when she was about to reach the door, the assistant suddenly stepped in front of her and blocked her way: "Miss Julie, you still can't leave."

Julie's hands clenched and unclenched and unclenched, her heart beating faster, and she knew it was bad and she stood there, afraid to sit down.

The assistant stepped forward and handed over a piece of kraft paper. Yu Cen Ran took it and untied it with her sharp fingers. She then took out a stack of photos and spread them on the table.

Everyone extended their necks to take a look. Julie's eyes were downcast as she glanced over. Her eyes suddenly widened as her lips slightly opened in surprise. Her face was as pale as ashes!

Those photos

There were only two people in most of the photos. One was Julie and the other was a man. Yu Cen Ran placed her hands on her knees as she coldly said, "I believe everyone here is aware of who this man is."

The man in the photo didn't look like much, but everyone present was intelligent. After working in the Yu Group for so many years, they had already grasped the interests and connections of their opponents!

— That man was the personal assistant of the president of the Huo Group!

Yu Cen Ran randomly picked up a photo and saw Julie and the man talking. At the same time, she seemed to pass a paper bag into his hands. "Julie, tell me, what's in the paper bag."

Seeing that Julie did not dare to answer, the people in the meeting room became even more restless.

Amidst the din, Yu Cen Ran's sharp eyes pierced deeply into the woman in front of him. "You're not going to speak?"

After pausing for a moment, Yu Cen Ran's voice became even colder. "If you don't explain yourself, then it's your consent. If you don't say anything, then there's no need to say anything else. Get out of my sight."

Julie clenched her lower lip and bowed her head like an ostrich. The investment manager was sweating because Julie was a distant relative of his.

After a long while, Julie slowly raised her eyes, ignoring the way someone kept winking at her and said, "That's right, I sold out the Yu clan, I was greedy and couldn't resist the temptation, I …"

"Bang!" a loud sound was heard, someone exclaimed. It was the manager of the investment department. He was scared stiff and fell unconscious on the ground. The others who were sitting beside him hurriedly pressed on the floor to catch their breath.

Yu Cen Ran didn't even look at her as he stared at Julie and said coldly, "Continue."

Julie hesitated, her lips moving with great difficulty. "Father is terminally ill. All the money in the family has been used up. I have no other way … Miss Xue found me and gave me a huge sum of money. I …"

Yu Cen Ran's expression didn't change when he heard "Miss Xue" from Julie. Without thinking much, he knew it was Xue Yuwei's doing. Yu Cen Ran placed her hand on her chin and raised her head.

Yu Cen Ran swept a glance over the crowd as she parted her lips and said, "The meeting is now over. Let's disperse."

One by one, they stood up and walked out of the door. When the manager of the investment department stood up, Yu Cen Ran suddenly spoke up, "Your performance was very unsatisfactory. I am very unsatisfied."

The manager looked as if he was crying in distress. He hurriedly nodded his head towards Yu Cen Ran before leaving. He knew that the first thing he had to do when he returned to the department was to write a letter of resignation!

Soon, only Yu Cen Ran was left in the meeting room. She cast a glance at the man's fleeing figure before retracting her gaze. She leaned her back against the chair with her loose sleeves showing her man's cleverness.

The assistant walked in, her lips moving as she started to explain the rest of the journey. Yu Cen Ran placed her hands on her lips and suddenly made a stopping gesture. "All activities should be postponed for me."

The assistant was stunned for a moment before nodding, "Ok, CEO."

Yu Cen Ran stood up and grabbed her coat. The image of a beautiful woman's smile appeared in her mind. Yu Cen Ran didn't notice the slight curve of her lips as she strode out of the meeting room.
