My Billionaire Exhusband Grovels Me After Divorce

Chapter 504: The Eastern Empire Group Lost

Dongfang Mu also believed Lu Lingche to be despicable: “He’s a madman. To snatch away my project, he even bought the patent for an eco-friendly material yesterday morning, renegotiated terms with the head of the environmental bureau in the afternoon, and signed the contract by evening!”

“He got married yesterday. I thought he’d be too busy with his wedding, I even attended. I really don’t know when he managed to carry out all of this.”

“This is my oversight, my responsibility. It’s unfortunate you’ve been dragged into this hectic ordeal.”

Qiao Yin shook her head: “I’m Young Master Mu’s assistant. Work is to be expected, there’s no burdening or not. However, they’ve already signed the contract, do we still have a chance to get it back?”

“That’s why I need your help to think of a way. Whether there are any loopholes in their contract, I’ve already asked the legal department to check. As for the qualifications, whether Shengling Group surpasses us, I’d like you to verify this for me.”

“How do I verify it?”

“I refuse to believe Shengling Group’s smart wastewater treatment system could be superior to ours. Our Corporation has always been industry leaders in this aspect. How could Shengling Group suddenly surpass us? You help me check if their system is really as strong as they claim.”

“Alright, no problem, Young Master Mu.”

Qiao Yin agreed immediately and then started work.

However, even till evening, she couldn’t find any issues with Shengling Group’s smart wastewater treatment system. On the contrary, during the comparison process, she found several small flaws in the Eastern Empire Group’s system.

Regrettably, Qiao Yin could only tell Dongfang Mu: “Young Master Mu, Shengling Group’s system is indeed more advanced than the Eastern Empire system, and is also more perfect.”

“This system seems to have recently been upgraded, and I suspect that Lu Lingche himself was likely involved in the upgrade.”

“Other than him, I can’t think of anyone else in their Corporation who could have crafted such a flawless system.”

She had previously dealt with a bunch of engineers from Shengling Group, none of them had impressed her. Now that the system was done so well, without any bugs, it clearly wasn’t made by the previous group.

At the same time, the head of the legal department came to report to Dongfang Mu. They also couldn’t find any loopholes in the contract. The agreement between Shengling Group and the environmental department was legally valid, officially effective, and could not be revoked.

After the report, the head of the legal department left.

Dongfang Mu sat on the sofa, his face not looking too good: “From the contract to the system, Lu Lingche must have been involved personally. He is determined to win this project. It seems I have angered him by snatching away his two projects.”

Qiao Yin replied calmly: “Win some, lose some, it’s normal. We’ll just go for Shengling Group’s projects next time.”

But Dongfang Mu shook his head: “This isn’t just about the project. You don’t understand, government projects have always been monopolised by Eastern Empire, nobody else has been able to sway it. Lu Lingche is the first person to snatch a government project away from Eastern Empire; moreover, this project was originally mine. Now that I’ve lost it, it will significantly impact me.”

Just as Qiao Yin was about to console him, their office door was knocked.

The next second, the door was pushed open, and Dongfang Qi walked in.

Seeing Qiao Yin there too, he paused momentarily.

Ever since he last saw Qiao Yin at Dongfang Mu’s place, he had sought out several excuses to come over but hasn’t seen her since.

He thought Dongfang Mu had grown tired of her and moved on – Dongfang Mu was known to change women rather quickly, sometimes once every month.

He didn’t expect to see Qiao Yin again though.

But Dongfang Qi quickly redirected his gaze towards Dongfang Mu, saying: “Cousin, I heard one of our big projects was taken away by Shengling Group?”
