Chen Feng's move indeed struck at my weak point. If he really presents the same design as ours at the Kickoff Meeting, then all our efforts would be in vain. At that moment, Li Ming suddenly turned back and asked, "President Lin, what about Su Wan..." He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you trust her?" I fell silent. Deep down, I had always believed in Su Wan. She was not only my girlfriend but also my most trusted partner. However, this was a critical time. I said in a low voice, "I have my own considerations." "Let's deal with Chen Feng's matter first." "We can discuss other things later." Li Ming nodded and walked out.
At night, the office was brightly lit. Everyone was working overtime to double-check calculations, reviewing design drafts and project details. In the end, we formulated a series of strategies to ensure that the design and dream of the Sky Garden could continue. Everyone's face showed fatigue, but there was a sparkle in each person's eyes.
I stood by the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, the city's neon lights reflecting on my resolute face, creating a kaleidoscope of colors. "President Lin, Chen Feng's Future City not only plagiarized our design concept but also plans to hold the project Kickoff Meeting on the same day." The voice of my assistant Li Ming came through the phone, and my mood became unsettled. "Did Mr. Zhao say anything?" "No." Recalling what Li Ming had told me earlier, I directly dialed Zhao Tianyu's number. Zhao Tianyu was the designer of the Future City project.
The "Sky Garden" is a large green building project that I, as the leader of the design team, am responsible for. From the design concept to the blueprints, our team has put in countless efforts and hard work. Now, however, there are those who want to reap the benefits without contributing.
Zhao Tianyu's call was quickly connected.
"Mr. Zhao, was the modification of the blueprints for 'Future City' your idea?"
"It wasn't my idea, but I know that 'Future City' will surpass 'Sky Garden' and become a true benchmark for green buildings."
Zhao Tianyu's voice was strong and confident. It seemed he was already aware of Chen Feng's plans.
"Mr. Zhao, 'Sky Garden' is the culmination of our team's efforts. If other projects steal it and release it first, it would be extremely unfair to us."
I tried to persuade Zhao Tianyu, but he clearly had no intention of getting involved.
"Lin, business is like a battlefield; if you want to win, you need to come up with a better design proposal."
Zhao Tianyu's words felt like a plunge into an ice pit. But he wasn't entirely wrong. To win, we must present a better design proposal. However, time is tight; how can we quickly optimize our design and win this business battle?
After hanging up, I received an anonymous email from Li Ming. The email contained images and timelines of Su Wan meeting with Chen Feng, as well as the timeline of Chen Feng's private meetings with Wang Qiang, the project leader for "Future City."
These pieces of evidence confirmed my suspicions. Su Wan had been used by Chen Feng. She had become the scapegoat for leaking the blueprints. Since the launch of the "Sky Garden" project, I had been so busy with work that I had neglected her. Yet she had always supported my work without any complaints.
I cannot imagine why she would become an accomplice of Chen Feng. I decided to closely monitor Su Wan's actions and gather more evidence to prepare for the upcoming Kickoff Meeting, where I would expose the truth.
I began to pay close attention to Su Wan's movements and noticed that her meetings with Chen Feng were becoming increasingly frequent. Each time she returned home, she appeared exhausted and evasive. She must be being used by Chen Feng, but I needed to know how he persuaded her.
I decided to dig deeper into the connection between Su Wan and Chen Feng. I reviewed the records of their meetings, trying to find the starting point of their acquaintance. They met at an industry exchange conference, and since then, their interactions had become frequent.
I started collecting their email correspondence, call records, and social media updates in hopes of finding more clues. Su Wan sat alone in a corner of the studio, the canvas in front of her splattered with vibrant colors, yet it could not conceal her chaotic emotions at that moment.
"Su Wan, you are a talented artist; you should have a bigger stage and more resources to support you."
