After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

During the material handover, the supplier representative said helplessly, "Regarding the adjustment of the construction plan, the new materials you are using are expensive and have a long delivery cycle, which is very detrimental to our cooperation! Unless you accept a higher supply price."

Song Yang and I were stunned for a moment, and our original negotiation strategy was completely disrupted.

Wang Hua pretended to be anxious and muttered under his breath, "What's going on? Weren't we prepared quite thoroughly before?"

In reality, he was secretly pleased with his "masterpiece".

The supplier questioned our construction plan, arguing that frequent adjustments would affect the material supply cycle and quality, and even hinted that the cooperation might be canceled.

This has made matters worse for the construction schedule that was already delayed due to the discovery of cultural relics.

The deal fell through that day, and we plan to have a second meeting with the supplier the following day.

In my office, I held an email from the supplier in my hand, my brow furrowed.

The email was cold and distant, revealing a lack of trust in us.

I tried to calm myself down. Just then, Xu Sisi knocked on the door and came in, a hint of unease on her face.

"Sister Gu, the supplier just called and said they need to reassess our cooperation, which may delay the supply of materials." Xu Sisi's voice was a little nervous.

I nodded, my tone calm: "I understand. You go ahead and get back to work, I'll handle it."

After Xu Sisi left, I leaned back in my chair.

When I close my eyes, all I can think about are recent events, and I gradually become irritable.

The project had already stalled due to the discovery of cultural relics, and now even the suppliers were starting to waver, which put me under unprecedented pressure. At that point, I hadn't even considered that someone had sabotaged the project.

"Don't panic, stay calm."

I told myself to start sorting through things one by one.

I began to carefully recall the details of my recent communications with the supplier.

Suddenly, I realized that the supplier seemed to know everything about our construction adjustments, even more than some people on our team. This was clearly not right.

Could it be that too many people have been hired here, and some people who shouldn't have been included have entered?

"Sisi, Sweetie, come in here for a moment."

"it is good."

She then went into the studio. "Don't you think it's all too coincidental? Why didn't the supplier ever think of raising our price when we were talking today?"

"I have thought about it, but it's generally unlikely," Little Sweetie was the first to express her opinion.

"Just to be on the safe side, I think it would be better to conduct a thorough investigation."

"Yes, I agree." I nodded quickly, agreeing with Xu Sisi.

"In that case, is there enough time?"

Little Sweetie asked worriedly, "Is it too late? If we don't investigate now, we can't start work at all."

“Okay, Sister Gu, you tell me what to do and I’ll do it. If we keep abreast of the time, we can definitely get it done ahead of schedule.”

"Ah."

"Sweetie, you'll continue negotiating with the suppliers on my behalf. That way, we won't alert them."

"Sisi, you'll investigate with me."

The three of us looked at each other, our unspoken understanding unspoken.

"Then I'll go out first."

"Me too."

As soon as Sisi and Xiaotiantian left the office, I immediately dialed Jiang Yichen's number, my tone urgent: "Yichen, I think there might be a problem within the team."

“The supplier knows too much about our construction plan; I suspect someone leaked the information.”

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Yichen was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Yes, the things that have happened these past few days are indeed strange, but don't tell anyone yet, let's investigate together."

"I understand. I've already arranged for someone to investigate."

"Well, well done."

After hanging up the phone, I immediately pulled up the meeting minutes and emails from the past few weeks and carefully checked every possible leak.

At that moment, Song Yang came up to me with a document in his hand.

"This is the background information I just compiled for the team members. Please take a look and see if there's anything suspicious."

He handed me the document, his tone calm and collected.

"Sisi told you, didn't she?"

"Okay. Let's hurry!" he said, handing me the documents.

I took the document, quickly glanced through it, and my gaze finally settled on a name—Wang Hua, the senior engineer in the project team.

His recent email exchanges have been unusually frequent, and the recipients are all the same unfamiliar email address.

“Wang Hua…” I murmured the name, a chill running through me.

He is usually very conscientious and hardworking, and could even be considered one of the most reliable people in the team.

If he really is the mole, then our situation is even more dangerous.

Song Yang noticed my hesitation and said in a low voice, "Let's not alert him yet. We can use the monitoring system to see if there's anything unusual about his recent behavior."

I nodded and immediately pulled up the office's surveillance footage.

Sure enough, we discovered that Wang Hua often stayed in the office alone late at night and at noon.

The time spent using the computer far exceeded the normal work scope.

Even more suspiciously, he deliberately avoided the cameras every time he left.

"It really was him." I gritted my teeth, feeling both angry and disappointed.

Pointing to the surveillance footage, Song Yang said calmly, "Now is not the time to get angry. We must deal with this as soon as possible and at the same time stabilize the suppliers."

I looked up at him, my eyes firm: "Okay, I'll handle Wang Hua. You go and contact the suppliers and see if you can regain their trust."

Song Yang nodded, turned and left the office.

I then called the security department and arranged for them to secretly monitor Wang Hua's every move.

At the same time, citing project adjustments, I transferred him away from his core position and temporarily assigned him to an unimportant role.

After dealing with the mole, I immediately convened an emergency meeting with the core members of the team.

At the meeting, I said in a serious tone, "The project has recently encountered some difficulties, but I hope that everyone will not be affected."

"We will resolve these issues as soon as possible to ensure the project progresses smoothly. At the same time, I also hope that everyone will remain vigilant and report any unusual situations promptly."

After the meeting, I returned to my office and felt a little more at ease.

"Sister Gu, I found it." Xu Sisi brought a gust of cold wind when she pushed the door open. Her fingertips were still trembling as she handed me the tablet: "Wang Hua met with people from Xinda Building Materials privately last week. The details of the construction plan they asked for... match the modification time of the encrypted file on his computer perfectly."

"Yes. We checked the security footage just now and found it was him."

Suddenly, another figure appeared in the glass window.

“The supplier has our adjusted concrete mix ratio, and even knows the burial depth of the backup pipeline,” Song Yang’s voice came from behind.
