Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

The proposal presented by Nanshi Corporation was entirely different from what Ouyang Li and the others had

heard from eavesdropping.

This proposal sounded more sophisticated, intricate, and logical.

When they talked about Serenity Street's promising future, they even received cheers from the audience.

After everyone had presented their proposal, the next step was to wait for the expert panel's discussion and

announcement of the results in the afternoon.

Even though the results had not yet been announced, everyone already knew that Nanshi Corporation would win.

Ouyang Li glared at Yu Xiang, and the latter's face turned pale.

She seemed to know what went wrong, but she was not certain.

Initially, Ouyang Li wanted to mock Nan Chen after winning the bid, but given how things had turned out, she would

no longer have the chance to do so.

Nan Chen ignored her the entire time and did not show even the tiniest hint of complacency.

He seemed to have gone there solely to watch a show and was unconcerned about the outcome.

Or maybe there was no surprise or expectation because he already knew what would happen. He was confident

that his team could manage everything.

Hence, when the event was over, he shook hands with the authorities present and left.

Ouyang Li stood up but almost lost her balance. Seeing that, Yu Xiang quickly reached out to support her boss.

Yet, Ouyang Li slapped Yu Xiang's hand away and stared at her with hatred in her eyes.

As Ouyang Li walked out of the door, a man in black ran into her and swiftly stuffed a small listening device into her

bag.

According to the original plan, Ouyang Li was supposed to eat lunch with Yu Xiang during the lunch break and find a

place to rest for a while before returning to the venue to await the result announcement.

Then, she would be interviewed by reporters as the winner to prove that she had solidified her position within the

company.

Unfortunately, things were bad for her now.

It was highly likely that Nanshi Corporation would be selected for the project, despite the fact that the results had

not yet been made public.

It would be pointless to be interviewed if she were the loser.

Nobody wanted to be slapped in the face, and she was not a masochist.

“Ms. Ouyang, I find this to be quite odd,” stated Yu Xiang weakly.

“What's so strange? The plan you got was fake! Didn't you say you took care of Jiang Zhe? Didn't you say you had

total control over his actions? In reality, you have no control over his actions. Instead, they have complete control

over your actions! They deceived you with a fake plan, and you still have the audacity to speak?” Ouyang Li

bellowed.

Yu Xiang dared not say anything in response to Ouyang Li's criticism.

However, even if she remained silent, Ouyang Li would not let this go.

“Since you're in charge of this matter, you're accountable for it. Go back to Archulea. No. Go to Alendor. Stay as far

away from me as you can. Also, there will be no year-end bonus for you. You're free to resign if you're not

satisfied!”

Ouyang Li was still enraged and continued to yell at Yu Xiang.

Yu Xiang was also exasperated, but she could not do anything.

Although she had never intended this to happen, she was ultimately to blame.

“Ms. Ouyang, even if we weren't successful in getting this project, there are still other projects that are waiting for

us. Furthermore, we're still unsure of the cause of this. I think it's unfair that I have to take on this responsibility

before we find out the truth,” Yu Xiang remarked.

Ouyang Li became even angrier when she heard that. “Unfair? Tell me then. What do you think I should do to be

fair? Should I not hold you accountable for this? Should I just give you a promotion and even increase your pay? You

were the one who claimed you had control over Jiang Zhe, but now that things have turned out this way, you're not

willing to take responsibility?”

Yu Xiang quickly shook her head in resignation. “Of course, I'm willing to take responsibility if Jiang Zhe is the

problem, but what if that's not the case?”

“If it's not your fault, who do you believe should be blamed? Is it my fault?” Ouyang Li questioned.

“It's possible that Nanshi Corporation learned about our plan and revised their proposal at the last minute. If so,

who on earth would have leaked our plan? Could there be spies among us?” asked Yu Xiang.

“You're still trying to make excuses, huh?” Ouyang Li grew angrier.

“Ms. Ouyang, please calm down. I'm not making any excuses. I'm perfectly fine with it if you want to fire me. After

all, I do have to take responsibility for this situation. However, if there's a spy on our team, your movements will

most likely be known to your opponents in the future. Your business plans may also be exposed. Isn't that

horrifying? Furthermore, you've said that Mr. Ouyang became that way because the Nan family planted a spy

around him. What if the Nan family has more than one spy? Is there really no chance of that happening?”

Yu Xiang's words enlightened Ouyang Li. After some consideration, she concluded that what Yu Xiang said made

sense.

“What should we do then?” Ouyang Li inquired.

“Please give me some time to investigate this matter,” replied Yu Xiang.

“How are you going to conduct your investigation? Are you planning to meet everyone in the company and go over

each one individually?”

“That's not necessary. I think—”

Before Yu Xiang could finish speaking, Ouyang Li's phone rang.

Ouyang Li reached into her bag and felt something hard that was shaped like a button.

There should not be such a thing in her bag, so she took it out.

Yu Xiang recognized the object and immediately exclaimed, “This is a listening device!”

Hearing that, Ouyang Li was shocked. “A listening device?”

“Yes! This must be a listening device!” commented Yu Xiang.

“Who put this inside my bag? When was it placed?”

“It's hard to say. If it was placed inside your bag a long time ago, the other party must have heard the details of our

meeting,” Yu Xiang hurriedly responded.

Ouyang Li was not stupid. Naturally, she understood what Yu Xiang was trying to say.

“Are you implying that I'm the one who leaked the plan? So I'm to blame?”

“That's not what I mean, but we can't rule that possibility out. At the very least, it shows that there's a spy in our

team, and the Nan family sent the spy. If we don't figure out who the spy is, we'll never be able to win against the

Nan family. We don't even know how many listening devices have been placed around you. It's also possible that

they're spying on your personal life, and that is terrifying!”

Ouyang Li fell silent.

Although she was a strong-minded woman, she was the type to question her abilities when she felt defeated.

People who were doubting themselves were the easiest to fool, and Yu Xiang happened to be a master at tricking.

She knew she had to persuade Ouyang Li to continue trusting her.

As a woman, she had an advantage over men when it came to getting close to Ouyang Li. Therefore, it was easier

for her to win Ouyang Li's trust.

Now that things were in a mess, she needed to find a way to fix it as soon as possible to ensure that she could get

closer to the core of Sunshine Corporation.

“Don't worry, Ms. Ouyang. I'll get to the bottom of this,” Yu Xiang promised.

“Fine. I'll give you another chance.” In the end, Ouyang Li was persuaded.
