After being laid off, Mr. Lu asked me to interview at his company

Chapter 247 What gift do you want?

A few days later, Xu Yang arranged for someone to adjust the bidding for Project B and the matter came to fruition.

That day, Xu Yang came to the president's office to report the situation to Lu Yanqi.

"Mr. Lu, after investigation, it was found that there was indeed collusion in the bidding of the supplier for Project B. Zhou Xiang, the director of the Business Department, illegally sought personal gain and leaked the bidding information of other suppliers to Zhong, the person in charge of the bidding of Huasheng Holdings. Zhong revised the bidding documents based on this information, so Huasheng Holdings finally won the bid. Later, Zhong helped the boss in the company to negotiate a big deal, but the commission promised by the boss was not fulfilled, and the boss also ridiculed him for not knowing how to be grateful. Zhong left Huasheng Holdings in anger. Zhou Xiang, the director of the Business Department, had not found any violations before, but this time he accepted a huge amount of bribes. After investigation, his wife suffered losses in business and was visited by debt collectors, which may be because of this mistake."

Lu Yanqi frowned slightly and flipped through the investigation materials in his hand. "Then what about the mention of Zhang Xuejing later?"

Xu Yang continued, "According to our investigation, Zhang Xuejing has a relationship with another person from Huasheng Holdings. But I heard from Zhong that she has contact with Director Zhou Xiang. Mr. Lu, do you still remember the last time you asked Yu Nan about the relationship and the slanderous Weibo about your wife? Yu Nan once said that the business director is Zhang Xuejing's uncle."

Lu Yanqi's eyes turned cold. He did remember that incident. He tapped the table with his fingers and said in a steady and firm voice: "No matter what their relationship is, this kind of serious illegal behavior must be dealt with seriously in accordance with relevant regulations."

Xu Yang nodded and said, "I understand, President Lu. We will continue to investigate in depth and not miss any details. At the same time, we will not show any leniency to those involved."

The two continued to chat about some details.

Finally, Lu Yanqi proposed a subsequent management system adjustment plan to ensure that similar incidents would not happen again. He arranged for Xu Yang to immediately organize a meeting of all employees to clarify the company's zero-tolerance policy and strengthen the external audit company's regular inspection of the bidding process to ensure fairness and transparency.

The next step is to deal with the matter of Business Director Zhou Xiang. Xu Yang has arranged for the company’s disciplinary inspection department to conduct further investigation, and he will report to Lu Yanqi at any time.

As for Zhang Xuejing, the responsibility falls on Du Siyuan.

Du Siyuan acted quickly. As soon as he received the notification and looked at all the evidence, he immediately found Zhang Xuejing.

Zhang Xuejing came to Du Siyuan’s office. At first, she did not admit that she had met with the former Huasheng Holdings personnel, but after seeing the evidence, she was completely dumbfounded. Who was so vicious to take photos and record audio?

Last time, she was at her uncle Zhou Xiang's house and used his computer for an urgent matter. She accidentally opened a default-named folder, which turned out to be the bidding documents of the suppliers of a certain project. A friend of hers was also bidding for Lu's project, and her friend was responsible for writing the plan, so she secretly took pictures of these documents.

The next day she invited her friends to meet in a cafe, told them the information, and received a considerable amount of compensation from them.

But what she didn't expect was that her friend and Zhong were in the same company, and they were preparing the bid for Lu's project together. Zhong also had connections with Zhou Xiang.

Now that Zhong has left his original company in anger, Huasheng Holdings now has to compensate Lu for breach of contract because of problems with the goods and services it provided.

As relevant departments intervened in the investigation, the truth of the matter finally came to light.

Zhang Xuejing looked unhappy. She thought this matter would not be discovered, but it was exposed after just over two months.

She also knew that once the matter was exposed, being fired from the company would be the lightest punishment.

Du Siyuan looked at her puzzledly: "Zhang Xuejing, your performance in the design department has always been outstanding, why do you want to do something that violates the company's regulations?"

Zhang Xuejing simply gave up and replied disdainfully: "What's the point of my outstanding performance? Major projects are always taken over by people with good connections."

Du Siyuan understood instantly that this was because he was jealous of the project in City A that Lin Qing had previously taken on.

It seems that it is meaningless to reason with Zhang Xuejing now, not to mention that she has no intention of repenting at all.

Du Siyuan originally wanted to give her a chance to resign on her own because of her excellent performance in the past two years, but seeing her attitude, Du Siyuan felt there was no need to sympathize with her and directly asked the company's disciplinary inspection department to intervene.

Lin Qing also found out about Zhang Xuejing's affairs two days later.

The moment Zhang Xuejing packed up her things and walked out of the office, she happened to meet Lin Qing entering the office.

She squinted her eyes and said to Lin Qing: "You must be very proud now. You can fire me just by whispering in my ear."

Lin Qing was speechless, she had never known about this before.

Lin Qing said to her calmly: "Why didn't you tell me that I asked you to leak the company's secrets?"

Zhang Xuejing sneered and said, "Let's see how long you can be so proud."

Lin Qing looked at her and shook his head helplessly, "I live with a clear conscience. I will not do anything that harms others or myself because of my own selfish desires."

Zhang Xuejing's face turned even paler. She glared at Lin Qing fiercely, then turned and left.

As time goes by, colleagues in the design department will not stop pursuing wealth just because someone leaves.

Half a month later, Lin Qing and Lu Yanqi's wedding photos were finally released. In the photos, their eyes were full of affection, and each one was filled with a happy smile.

Lin Qing was very satisfied with these photos, so he hung most of them in the Huancui Pavilion villa, selected a large one to hang in the bedroom of Zuizhuyuan's home, and placed several small ones on the dressing table and bedside table.

That night, Lin Qing and Lu Yanqi stayed at Zuizhuyuan's house.

Before going to bed, the two of them leaned against the head of the bed and looked through the negatives of the wedding photos on their mobile phones. There was a difference between the negatives and the refined photos. Lin Qing decided to pick a few photos to process himself later.

Lin Qing couldn't help laughing as he flipped through the negatives: "This one hasn't been retouched. I think it's very real, like our daily life."

Lu Yanqi leaned closer to her and looked at the screen: "Indeed, this natural feeling makes people feel ordinary happiness."

Lin Qing slid through the three photos that he thought looked better, then turned to look at him, "Which one do you think is the best?"

"I like this photo of us holding hands and looking at each other the most," Lu Yanqi pointed at the screen, "Your smile is so bright, like the sunshine."

Lin Qing's heart warmed up and a blush appeared on her face: "You are my sunshine."

Lu Yanqi smiled slightly, pinched her cheek gently, and said lovingly: "Then I will always be your sunshine and brighten your every day."

Lin Qing blinked and raised the corners of his mouth: "You are really good at talking, but I like it."

Lu Yanqi smiled and said, "Since you like me, shouldn't you show it? Hmm?" After saying that, he moved his face close to her lips, his meaning was very clear.

Lin Qing didn't want to follow his wishes at this moment, so she deliberately changed the subject, "I suddenly remembered that you brought me a gift from Hong Kong before, and I said I would give you a gift, but then I forgot. What do you want now?"

Lu Yanqi: "You have already sent it."

Lin Qing: “What?”

Lu Yanqi: “You.”

Lin Qing: “…” These sweet words really came out of his mouth casually.

Lin Qing felt sweet in her heart and her face turned slightly hot. "Then do you want any other gifts?"

Lu Yanqi smiled, his eyes full of affection as he said, "You are the most precious gift. The others don't matter, but as long as it's given by my wife, I will like it."

Lin Qing felt the sincerity in his words, and her heart became even warmer: "You are so good at talking. I feel like I will be spoiled by you in the future."

Lu Yanqi lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently, "Then let me spoil you forever." After that, he hugged Lin Qing tightly in his arms.

Lin Qing leaned on his shoulder, feeling his body temperature and heartbeat, and whispered, "Thank you."

Lu Yanqi smiled and said firmly, "Why thank me? I'm your husband." Then he rested his chin on the top of her head and continued, "I originally thought that I wouldn't be able to get married in the next few years. I never expected that we would get married soon. Now I feel a little unreal."

Lin Qing was amused by his words and said with a smile: "Aren't we already married?"

Lu Yanqi smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, we are already married. But you are so good, you deserve a wedding full of memories."

Lin Qing couldn't stand his affectionate words, so she raised her head and kissed him on the lips. Of course, Lu Yanqi responded enthusiastically.

But as they kissed, they fell on the bed together...
