Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

It is not up to man to decide whether it will rain or not; whether a mother will marry or not.

If God wants someone to be unlucky, even drinking cold water will cause his teeth to get stuck.

Lu Jinan had just walked into the office and sat in his boss chair when the phone on the desk rang. His voice was indifferent: "Hello, this is Lu Jinan."

The other party was a government executive: "I have a document from Anxin Solar Energy Company that I just submitted for business registration. They also said they can undertake our solar street light project."

Currently, only Jinxi has these technologies. The only possibility is that the data has been spread. He thought that the data might be lost, but he never thought that the other party would set up a company so blatantly to steal business.

Lu Jinan glanced at the three men who looked like door gods and said, "Our company has just found out that the data in the archives room is missing. It is safest to discuss the project with us."

The other party smiled and said: "As long as it can save money, the government is willing to do so. It doesn't matter who the partner is."

Lu Jinan chuckled over the phone: "If you didn't care about your partner, you wouldn't have called me to let me know."

He pronounced the word "especially" differently, and it was clear that the other party's cooperation intention was still with them, or they were seeking stability, asking who was not concerned about their career.

The other party laughed and said, "Of course there is a difference between a substitute and the real thing, but you only have three days. If you can't produce evidence after three days, we can only agree to their request to apply for a company."

Lu Jinan's brows were filled with majesty: "Don't worry, I will produce evidence within three days."

"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news."

After the phone call was hung up, the office returned to silence, so quiet that one could hear the sound of snow falling outside.

Lu Jinan's face was extremely bad, and he scolded: "Because of your three mistakes, the company's data was lost, and the cooperation we just negotiated is also at risk of being lost. Tell me, is there a traitor in our company?"

Tang Yan's body trembled and he looked at Lu Jinan uncertainly. Could it be that he discovered something?

That shouldn't be possible. The archives room doesn't have the surveillance cameras that appeared in He Xi's office last time. He checked it when he was accessing the files, and there were no signs of any changes.

Xiao Yan looked grim as he looked at Lu Jinan: "It's not me. We were childhood friends. How could I betray you for such a small profit?"

Tang Yan caught the flaw in Xiao Yan's words and began to attack him, saying, "Do you mean that if the other party offers more money, you might agree? Or have you already agreed?"

"You..." Xiao Yan wanted to beat Tang Yan again, "Bullshit, I'm not that kind of person."

"It's not that what you say doesn't count, and what I say doesn't count either. The problem now is that because of your mistake the archive room was not locked overnight, and the data was lost." Tang Ya summarized it very well.

Director Zhou's expression was not much better. He was also responsible for his negligence, and he put forward his own point of view.

"Our people in the archives room have carefully checked the recent in and out records and found that only Team Leader Xiao and Researcher Tang have been in and out frequently, and Team Leader Xiao has even gone in alone."

His words once again narrowed down the suspects, and he directly beat Xiao Yan and Tang Yan to death.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jinan's face darkened and he looked at Director Zhou: "He went in alone? Without your company? The company's rules and regulations are used to restrict me?"

Director Zhou was stunned when he heard this, and immediately said, "No, Mr. Lu, please listen to my explanation. It was Researcher Tang who said that Team Leader Xiao was your childhood friend, and he specifically emphasized that he was your childhood friend, so we thought it was your instruction."

Tang Yan frowned, always remembering Li Dong's words to clear himself. He was eager to refute: "No, Mr. Lu, he always emphasized that he is your childhood friend and is different from us. I didn't think anything, I just listened to him and said it casually."

Xiao Yan stared with eyes wide open as he listened to Tang Yan slandering him. He couldn't even believe it. Why didn't he mention his childhood friend status when he was working? The nasty words he said when he did something wrong were really unpleasant.

The three of them started arguing right in Lu Jinan's office. Lu Jinan felt a little choked up and looked at Assistant Wei beside him: "I need a cup of coffee."

Assistant Wei nodded: "Okay, Mr. Lu." He called He Xi on his way out.

"Hey, ma'am, the company is in trouble."

"You said."

"The core data was lost, and the other party used our data to set up a company and steal our and the government's business."

"Okay, I know. You take good care of him. I'll go take care of some things first. Replace the coffee with juice."

Assistant Wei stopped and admitted his mistake honestly: "Yes, ma'am. I will strictly control Mr. Lu's coffee in the future."

He Xi put down the phone, then picked it up and called Uncle Ning: "Hello Uncle Ning, how is the situation going?"

Ning Ci waved his hand, asking the people in the meeting room to stop talking: "Xi girl, everything is going well, and we have caught a few big fish. We decided to temporarily close the net and replace them with our people."

He Xi held her forehead and said, "You still have time to act so arrogantly. Her husband is going to be so angry: "Can you move faster? The other party has taken our data and wants to set up a company and steal our business, and you are still here to take it easy."

As soon as these words came out, Ning Ci's expression suddenly changed, and he said angrily: "It's impossible, they didn't even submit an application to set up a company."

He Xi had a bolder idea: "Could it be possible that there are also their people among the senior government officials?"

Ning Ci took a deep breath, but did not hang up the phone. He said to the people in the conference room, "Investigate the deputy mayor immediately."

Everyone in the conference room looked at him in surprise. They had suspected it before but ruled it out quickly. This time they were investigating again...

"Yes." He Zhien, Lu Yunshen, and Lu Huaizhi stood up together. They were the ones who would protect the happiness of their younger brothers and sisters.

"Don't worry, I will give you an explanation within three days." Ning Ci assured He Xi on the phone.

Assistant Wei came in with juice. Lu Jinan squinted at the cup in his hand and unbuttoned his suit jacket angrily: "Are you going to make me angry now too?"

Assistant Wei carefully put down the juice and brought up He Xi to pressure Lu Jinan: "My wife told you to drink less coffee."

“You…” Lu Jinan lost his temper instantly.

Lu Jinan drank up a glass of juice, but he still felt a tightness in his chest and his thoughts were not clear.

"Boss Lu, would you like another drink?"

"no need."

Lu Jinan looked at Tang Yan, his voice low and filled with hidden anger: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Tang Yan pretended to be calm and said, "Boss Lu, I suspect there is really a traitor in the company, and it is Team Leader Xiao."

Lu Jinan looked at him and asked, "Why not you?"

Xiao Yan was about to get angry when Lu Jinan directly asked Tang Yan back, and he was happy in his heart.

Tang Yan's breathing was a little unstable. Lu Jinan was too calm. The panic and irritability he had just felt in the previous few minutes were gone now, and he felt more confident.
