Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

"If you really want to know, stop interrupting me." Li Xiaoyun said coldly.

Zhou Chuanwu pressed his lips tight.

Lin Lingli seized the opportunity and said, "Yes, why don’t you all let Xiao Yun finish speaking first? If you have any comments, you can bring them up later. We’ve only just heard a sentence and don’t know anything yet, so don’t rush to argue."

Thanks to Rui Changhuai, Lin Lingli could be considered a semi-insider.

However, she doesn’t know as much about Zheng Xuelin’s matters as Manager Tang and Li Xiaoyun do.

But she does know that the problem lies with Zheng Xuelin.

If everything is laid bare, Zheng Xuelin would still be the one without a leg to stand on.

Lin Lingli now also understands that because of this issue, Zheng Xuelin can forget about getting a promotion.

Li Xiaoyun’s promotion seems to be a sure thing.

Therefore, Lin Lingli isn’t afraid of offending Zheng Xuelin anymore.

Although she doesn’t know exactly what Zheng Xuelin did wrong.

But for President Changlin to personally propose replacing Zheng Xuelin, it must be no small matter.

When it becomes public, it’s uncertain whether Zheng Xuelin can even stay in the company.

So, Lin Lingli isn’t afraid at all now.

Li Xiaoyun nodded to Lin Lingli, guessing she might know something.

Li Xiaoyun said, "Lingli is right. Once I’ve finished speaking, you can ask any questions you have."

Within the department, there are not only two camps of Li Xiaoyun and Zheng Xuelin.

There are also neutral senior employees.

Brother Chen is one of them.

Brother Chen spoke up to mediate the situation: "Yes, let’s listen to what Xiao Yun has to say first."

"There may be some misunderstandings, it’s better to understand everything clearly first," Brother Chen said.

"Yes, I believe Xiao Yun isn’t the type to snatch business," Sister Li said. "After all, we’ve worked together for so long, we have a certain understanding. No matter how big the previous projects were, we never saw Xiao Yun snatch them."

Zhou Chuanwu snorted and said, "There was never any mention of competing for the manager position before either."

"Zhou Chuanwu, are you done? Do you actually want to listen or not? If not, why come here just to scold people?" Lin Lingli said unceremoniously.

"You!" Zhou Chuanwu’s face turned red with anger, and he took a step toward Lin Lingli.

Brother Chen blocked Zhou Chuanwu, "Alright, alright, we haven’t even finished listening yet, no need to get worked up. If Xiao Yun really did something wrong, it’s not too late to get upset afterward."

Although Brother Chen is waiting for retirement without causing ripples, he isn’t without capabilities.

He’s achieved his fair share of accomplishments.

He’s just been around too long and doesn’t have the drive to compete anymore.

But in the department, Brother Chen’s words carry some weight.

At least for now, Zhou Chuanwu temporarily fell silent.

Li Xiaoyun said, "That’s right, the collaboration with Rui Shi and Changlin led by Zheng Xuelin has indeed been transferred for me to handle."

Before Zhou Chuanwu and Wang Honglin could interrupt, Li Xiaoyun promptly said, "And this decision was made personally by President Lin."

"The reason is that the means Zheng Xuelin used to secure this collaboration were not appropriate. As for what methods Zheng Xuelin used, I know. If someone pushes me too far, I don’t mind exposing them."

"I haven’t said it now because I want to save face for both sides. What’s the extent of the methods that could be severe enough to prompt leadership to replace someone directly?" Li Xiaoyun said.

"You might as well think about that and stop being aggressive toward me, assuming I used some schemes to snatch this deal." Li Xiaoyun said.

"Leaders have their considerations. Although they haven’t talked to me about their thoughts, I figured, they probably worry that if Zheng Xuelin’s tactics are revealed, it could affect the company’s reputation, so they had to replace him."

"Of course, these are just my speculations," Li Xiaoyun said. "I can’t give you an absolutely certain answer on what the leaders were thinking. If you really want to know, you might as well ask them."

"This is a decision made by the leadership; please don’t make things difficult for me." Li Xiaoyun said coolly.

Everyone was stunned, looking at each other.

They couldn’t help but glance toward Zheng Xuelin.

Pondering what exactly Zheng Xuelin did that made the leadership replace him directly?

As they thought further, they realized that before this, Zhao Dingli had already withheld the collaboration contract.

Meaning that even Zhao Dingli was alarmed by Zheng Xuelin’s issue.

They were dumbfounded.

What on earth did Zheng Xuelin do?

"Now, any more questions?" Li Xiaoyun asked coldly.

Zhou Chuanwu and Wang Honglin were also stumped, unable to speak.

Seeing this, Zheng Xuelin said with a gloomy face, "Li Xiaoyun, if you grabbed my business, just admit it. Even if it leaves us at odds, I would still admire your boldness."

"Grabbing the business and slandering me is crossing the line," Zheng Xuelin said. "Don’t think you’ll get off just because you’re a woman, making me take this lying down!"

Zhou Chuanwu realized and quickly responded, "Right! Your words alone don’t count. Why should we believe you? Where’s the evidence?"

"Alright then, how about we go see President Lin together now?" Li Xiaoyun said. "President Lin made the final decision. Let’s go ask him. Ask him whether this business deal was stolen by my manipulation or if Zheng Xuelin’s scheming got caught."

"If you don’t believe President Lin, then who do you believe in? Are you going directly to Vice President Lu at Changlin?" Li Xiaoyun said.

The mention of Vice President Lu totally stunned Zheng Xuelin.

This meant that Li Xiaoyun truly knew.

She probably knew quite a lot!

Now she’s even using Vice President Lu to threaten him.

Others were also startled.

Why did Li Xiaoyun mention no one else but Vice President Lu?

Indeed, previously, President Lin directly connected Zheng Xuelin with Vice President Lu.

It made sense.

At this point, everyone hadn’t thought about any romantic implications.

After all, Vice President Lu was nearly fifty.

With a significant age difference from Zheng Xuelin, and he was married.

So no one could associate it with that.

"What are you all doing?" Manager Tang came out of the office, seeing Li Xiaoyun surrounded by everyone, and spoke up.

Upon hearing the voice, everyone slightly backed off.

Just giving Li Xiaoyun some room to move, but not leaving entirely.

However, Zheng Xuelin and his group, who were loud earlier, fell silent now with Manager Tang present.

Li Xiaoyun then said: "Zheng Xuelin, Zhou Chuanwu, and Wang Honglin think I used tricks to take the collaboration with Changlin from Zheng Xuelin, and they are questioning me."

Manager Tang certainly knew, as she had heard earlier as well.
