I saw that Long Xiaoxi didn't pay attention to Zhuang Yuting, but said to Lu Menglei, "Director Ling's team has not been established for a long time, and they are all selected from Xi and the existing designers, of course she is worried that there will be undercover agents inside, so she has to test it." Jian Anyun's matter, she deliberately revealed to Director Lu that it was Tian Zhi's secret, the purpose of which was to provoke Director Lu's suspicion of the people around her, and the undercover person was the one who was most likely to be suspected. So, in the following monthly competition briefing, Director Ling misled all her team members, saying that the topic of the monthly competition was stored in that USB flash drive, just to see if anyone told Director Lu about it. As a result, not only I was fooled, but even Director Lu was fooled, and in order to test my loyalty, he assigned me to steal the USB flash drive. Saying that, Long Xiaoxi glanced at Lu Menglei with great grievance, and then continued, "Fortunately, when I stole the USB flash drive, it was quite neat, and the USB flash drive was handled in a timely manner, and the time witness was arranged, otherwise I would have been taken down by Ling Anxun just now." This audio is not to prove my innocence, but to tell Director Lu that Jian Anyun's matter was indeed leaked by Tian Zhi, and Ling Anxun just used Tian Zhi to sow the seeds of doubt in Director Lu's heart. ”

Long Xiaoxi's explanation of the whole paragraph is conclusive and logical, even if a hypocritical person like Zhuang Yuting has been convinced, not to mention Lu Menglei, who has long been in love with Ling Anxun. She pondered for a while, and her thoughts were really said by Long Xiaoxi one by one, it seems that she has long fallen into Ling Anxun's thinking trap, and Long Xiaoxi is quite smart, found Tian Zhi's evidence, and saw through Ling Anxun's tricks, but is she trustworthy in this way?

Long Xiaoxi saw that Lu Menglei didn't speak, knowing that she didn't fully trust herself, so she said aggrievedly, "Director Lu, if you don't believe me, I'll immediately find a reason to withdraw from Director Ling's group, so as not to provoke this commotion." ”

"Don't, aren't you quitting now?" Zhuang Yuting shouted.

"So what do you say I should do? It's a thankless job for me to do undercover work and still don't believe me. Long Xiaoxi was also not polite, and replied to Zhuang Yuting.

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Lu Menglei finally stood up and spoke out, "Actually, it's not that I don't fully believe you, but in this situation, if you are me, can you believe it?" ”

Long Xiaoxi was not asked by Lu Menglei's words, but refuted, "Anyway, I believe in one, that is, there is no suspicion in employing people, and no suspicion is needed." ”

Lu Menglei snorted lightly and said, "It's a good 'don't doubt the use of people, don't use suspicious people'." It's not hard for me to believe you, you just need to be more positive. ”

"What's the positive method?" Long Xiaoxi stared at Lu Menglei, right now, she was really like Ling Anxun said, and she had become a person who could negotiate with Lu Menglei on an equal footing.

"It's simple, it's that I ask you to report to me every move of Ling Anxun every day." Lu Menglei said and wrote down a note to Long Xiaoxi, "This is a private email address for me, from today onwards, you will send an email every day, which will record what Ling Anxun does, and everything must be detailed." ”

Long Xiaoxi stretched out his hand to take the note in Lu Menglei's hand, looked at it, and then said, "Okay, then what, what else do I need to do?" ”

Lu Menglei waved her hand and said, "Not for the time being, you can go down first." ”

Long Xiaoxi put the note close to him, then bowed respectfully to Lu Menglei, glanced at Zhuang Yuting when he got up, and exited Lu Menglei's office without saying a word. Seeing Long Xiaoxi leaving, Zhuang Yuting said to Lu Menglei a little impatiently, "Director, do you believe her?" I think this Long Xiaoxi is very problematic. ”

Lu Menglei said unhurriedly, "Don't worry, I've thought about it." If she had been bought by Ling Anxun, she would not be so arrogant, taking a step back, even if she was turned against by Ling Anxun, then we also know where to beware, it is easier than beware of everyone around her. ”

Zhuang Yuting listened to Lu Menglei's high opinion, nodded again and again, and said, "It's still the director, you stand high and see far, I have to learn more from you." ”

Lu Menglei looked at Zhuang Yuting's appearance, smiled and said, "Okay, don't talk about this." Go, bring Ji'an and Xin Ran in, we have to discuss the matter of the monthly competition. ”

After a while, Bei Jian and Hong Xinran followed Zhuang Yuting into Lu Menglei's office. After Lu Menglei watched the three of them come in, they each lowered their eyes, looking unenergetic, and her heart was angry. The few people around her are usually quite able to show off their might in good times, why do they shrink aside and keep silent in adversity?

Lu Menglei first took a sip of water, then put the cup on the table and said, "Don't say a word, what's the matter, is this scared by Ling Anxun?" ”

"Of course not, it's just ......" Bergian wanted to say that he was not afraid, but he was short of words for a while, and he didn't know what to do.

Indeed, there is a big problem in front of them right now, that is, how to deal with the first monthly competition. The purpose of Lu Menglei's side was to keep Xihe from increasing his earnings in order to prevent Wei Yuheng from winning this competition. But now that Ling Anxun is doing this, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will increase Xihe's income because of this, which is contrary to their original intention. It's no wonder that Bergian, who has such a fiery temper, is now dumb and angry. Zhuang Yuting is so clever, and she will not have any constructive suggestions. Now, Lu Menglei can only pin all her hopes on her second apprentice, Hong Xinran.

But Hong Xinran didn't speak, and he didn't know if he was tense or had no idea. So, Lu Menglei walked up to her and asked kindly, "Xin Ran, what do you think about this?" ”

Hong Xinran raised her eyelids, glanced at Lu Menglei, lowered her eyes again, and said slowly, "I have an idea, that is, the lethality is extremely lethal, and I am afraid that I will be rejected as soon as I say it." ”

Lu Menglei was overjoyed when she heard Hong Xinran say that she had an idea, and hurriedly relieved, "You talk about it first, if it's not appropriate, we'll find a way." ”

Hong Xinran listened to Lu Menglei's guarantee, and then said with a little embarrassment, "This time it's a custom dress, according to the rules of the industry, the dress production cycle is long, so you have to pay in advance first, and then pay the full amount after the dress is made." ”

"Do you want to use this to delay the payment of goods? The maximum cycle of our dress is only one month, and even if it is delayed, it cannot exceed this time limit. And Wei Yuheng is going to stay in Xihe for three months, and during his tenure, we still have to deliver. Bergian said.

Hong Xinran couldn't help but let out a sneer after hearing this, and turned to look at Lu Menglei. Obviously, Lu Menglei had thought of what she was going to say next, and was looking at herself with a complex and contradictory look.

Hong Xinran stroked the messy hair in front of his forehead, thinking that this wicked man had to be his own, so he continued, "Then what if there is force majeure that causes us to not be able to deliver?" For example, the supply of raw materials is insufficient or something? ”

"What do you say?! Malicious refusal to deliver? Na Xihe still has a reputation, whether it has credibility or not. "According to Begian's temper, of course, he can't stand such a method, although this can solve the problem of increasing the turnover of Xihe clothing, but Xihe's reputation will definitely be damaged.

Hong Xinran smashed her mouth, she knew that Bei Ji'an would say this, after all, Bei Ji'an had been in Xihe for a long time, even if she wanted to suppress the growth of Xihe clothing because of Lu Menglei now, but she didn't want to hurt Xihe. In Bei Jian's heart, he only wanted to wait for Wei Yuheng to leave, and then help the teacher revive Xihe's majesty. Hong Xinran ignored Beckian's objection, but looked at Lu Menglei.

Lu Menglei didn't want to hurt Xihe in her heart, not because she still wanted Xihe to return to the way he was when he was in his prime, after all, Xihe's clothes had almost been hollowed out by Lu Menglei, she just had some feelings for Xihe in her conscience, and hoped that it would start and end well. However, now it seems that only this method proposed by Hong Xinran can prevent Ling Anxun's plan from succeeding, even if he can't bear it in his heart, he can only do this.

Seeing the hesitation on Lu Menglei's face, Bejian became excited and said, "Teacher, you didn't care about Xihe's reputation just to win. ”

Hearing this, Lu Menglei glared at Bei Ji'an, and that look made Bei Ji'an immediately stop, and Hong Xinran said with a needle, "Senior sister, in fact, you don't have to worry, externally, we are just forced not to deliver, not 'deliberately' not to deliver, so there will be damage to Xihe's reputation, but it will not be so big, as long as the apology afterwards is sincere enough, and then hire an experienced public relations person to deal with the aftermath, people will soon forget about this matter." ”

"However, when the incident happened, Xihe would still be pushed to the forefront, so ......" Bei Ji'an was still arguing with Hong Xinran, but was interrupted by Lu Menglei.

"Just do as Xin Ran says." Lu Menglei made a final decision, and there was no objection, "Or do you have any better way?" ”

"I ......" Although Begian still felt that it was inappropriate, she really had no better way, so she could only keep her mouth shut silently and let her teacher do things that harmed Xihe.

Lu Menglei couldn't help but comfort Bei Ji'an and said, "Ji'an, you also heard Xin Ran say that the impact on Xihe is only temporary, but if you delay Mr. Li's plan, you and I can't afford to be guilty." I know your feelings for Xihe, I have been in Xihe for longer than you, and my feelings for Xihe are deeper. More than the matter of reputation, I hope that Xihe can recover his former glory as soon as possible. You see, if we complete the task assigned by Mr. Li, when the eldest prince of Wei inherits the Dinghong Group, he will definitely be rewarded for his meritorious deeds, and when the time comes, increase investment in Xihe, so that it will be a matter of minutes to improve its overall level? ”

Although Begian felt awkward, he also knew what was wrong, so he nodded to his teacher and agreed. Lu Menglei breathed a sigh of relief and said to the people present, "Okay, then let's skip the design of the monthly competition next." This time, in order to concentrate firepower against Ling Anxun, I plan to temporarily merge our three groups. ”
