The paranoid boss always tries to trick me

Gu Wanran stroked the teacup, her anxious mood gradually calmed down.

She took a sip of tea slowly, and understood: "I can understand your concerns, and I won't force you to tell you right away, I am already surprised that you can see me today."

Deng Linwen was helpless: "You don't hesitate to be deducted points to attract my attention, you try your best to show yourself, and even mix some of your father's ideas into it from time to time... You do this to this level, I will never see you again, it is really a bit inhuman .”

Gu Wanran smiled: "It seems that you haven't thought it through. Mr. Deng, I won't force you. Let's meet again after you have considered whether you want to tell me or not."

This is actually a test. Deng Linwen's default state proves that he really knows something.

Gu Wanran breathed a sigh of relief, took out a notebook from his bag, tore off a page and wrote down a string of numbers, "Mr. Deng, this is my contact information, please accept it, and when you have an answer, whether it is Good or bad, please tell me."

She pushed the thin sheet of paper over, "I won't bother you today, goodbye."

Gu Wanran stood up quickly, bowed to Deng Linwen again, turned and walked towards the door.

"and many more!"

Gu Wanran paused, and Deng Linwen's voice came from behind him: "The judges are indeed targeting you today, and the perfume you submitted... I'm afraid you won't get any points."

"I'm mentally prepared."

Gu Wanran turned her eyes and smiled at Deng Linwen, opened the door and left.

From the moment she was targeted, she already knew what was going on.

The list of the perfume competition was released, and many netizens expressed their surprise. They have never seen a deduction from No.1 to No.8 in a debate competition, but these judges just dared.

Some contestants went out to restore the scene, and the netizens who learned the truth all complained for Gu Wanran.

This competition is different from the previous competition which was only a niche competition in the circle. Because many popular people are involved, many unrelated people are also paying attention to the competition throughout the whole process.

Different from the resentment of netizens, Gu Wanran looked as usual, quietly waiting for the result of the perfume competition.

Three days after the end of the fourth round, the competition team suddenly sent several inspectors to the company and asked to have a private conversation with Gu Wanran.

Shen Shi heard the news and came, seeing the strange atmosphere at the door, he couldn't help frowning.

When I got closer, I heard the procuratorate in the middle say: "Miss Gu, we have already obtained evidence from Ms. Wang Yan on this matter first. She pointed out that you were the one who wanted to take away her semi-finished prescription. At that time, you were colleagues. She was right You were not wary, and exchanged recipes with you in the spirit of communication, but they were stolen and used by you, do you have any excuses for this?"

Gu Wanran raised her eyes and saw Shen Shi coming out of the crowd, she took a step back consciously and gave him the seat.

Shen Shi followed suit and took over the right to speak: "Sir, you must speak with evidence. Is there any evidence for Wang Yan's statement?"

The inspector shook his head: "No, this matter is still under investigation. I will listen to both sides' arguments before conducting investigation and evidence collection. I think this will save a lot of time."

Shen Shi said: "Then our argument is that Wang Yan stole Gu Wanran's semi-finished perfume. At that time, Gu Wanran's perfume was lost, and many people knew about it."

Shen Yunlan immediately said: "Yes, I remember this matter. At that time, the matter was settled, and I thought it was resolved."

Many people followed suit, and the surrounding atmosphere gradually eased.

The prosecutor frowned: "Is there any evidence?"

Shen Shi asked back: "Have you asked Wang Yan about this?"

Inspectors:"……"

Obviously, he never interrogated Wang Yan like this.

Shen Shi sneered: "I can hand over the evidence here. At that time, Gu Wanran searched for a while in the company, and I can provide monitoring here, and the process of forming Gu Wanran's perfume recipe. Most importantly, there is a very The rare flower, named Yuemian, was found by Gu Wanran after searching for a long time, and finally found it under the suggestion of Mr. Shao."

The inspector said: "Wang Yan also mentioned this point, and she said the same. This is the suggestion that Mr. Shao gave her."

"Then you might as well ask Mr. Shao if he told Wang Yan about this flower and its place of origin."

"..."

The inspector looked over him and looked at Gu Wanran: "What do you say?"

Gu Wanran: "..."

She looked at the inspector speechlessly: "Assistant Shen has already said almost what needs to be said, and I have nothing to add."

Shen Shi coldly reminded: "Mr. Jiang doesn't care about the matter that was targeted in the last debate contest. It doesn't mean that he doesn't pay attention to this matter. If you continue to do whatever you want, don't blame us for being rude."

The inspector froze, and his aura suddenly dropped a lot, "We are just conducting a routine investigation. Gu Wanran's and Wang Yan's perfume formulas overlap completely. There must be something wrong with it."

"Then please go and investigate quickly." Shen Shi said with a relaxed tone, "We still have to work, please leave."

The inspector glanced at Gu Wanran hesitantly, seeing that she was hiding behind Shen Shi and refused to come out, so he had no choice but to leave.

Everyone dispersed, Shen Shi called Gu Wanran to stop: "You and I go to the office."

Gu Wanran nodded, and followed Shen Shi into Jiang Yuechen's office.

"Have you dealt with it?"

With his back to the door, Jiang Yuechen stood in front of the glass window, with a tall and slender figure.

Shen Shi respectfully said: "The person has already left, and the follow-up progress depends on the choice over there."

Jiang Yuechen gave a faint "hmm": "You go out."

"Yes."

Shen Shi glanced at Gu Wanran, opened the office door and walked out.

In the quiet room, Jiang Yuechen's cold voice sounded again: "What do you think?"

Gu Wanran hesitated and said, "Wang Yan and Song Yunrou should have bought the judges, right? Since last time, I have clearly felt that I am being targeted."

"I don't think you're in any hurry."

Jiang Yuechen turned around clinging to the coffee cup, and leaned against the glass window with a lazy posture, but sharp eyes.

Gu Wanran said softly: "I know this time, Jiang and I will always stand together, I believe you will not stand by, so I am not in a hurry."

Jiang Yuechen raised the corners of his lips, and said without warmth: "Do you think I will help you settle things?"

Gu Wanran looked at him nervously: "Can't you?"

She seemed to be expecting him, relying on him, and cautiously tested.

Jiang Yuechen laughed again, this time with a little sincerity: "Yes, but I suspect that you have other cards in your hand."

"No more..." Gu Wanran looked at him sincerely, "Boss Jiang is my greatest reliance."

Jiang Yuechen was noncommittal, he had seen Gu Wanran's expression so many times, every time he was lying.

It's just that he is curious, what exactly is in Gu Wanran's hands that can make her so calm, even indifferent and...excited?
She seemed to be looking forward to this matter fermenting, looking forward to the tournament team removing her and making Wang Yan No.1.

Jiang Yuechen observed her little by little, as if he wanted to peel off all her camouflage and protective shell.

"Boss Jiang." Gu Wanran said politely and politely, "Can I go back?"

Jiang Yuechen asked without answering, "Did you see Deng Linwen?"

Gu Wanran's heart tightened, he looked at Jiang Yuechen for a moment, and nodded cautiously.

"What are you talking about?" Jiang Yuechen asked.

"Talking about the first time I used tea to make incense, he seemed to be very interested." Gu Wanran spoke with deliberation, "But when I asked, he refused to tell me, only saying that he didn't know anything."

After a pause, "Mr. Jiang, you also asked me about the tea. Is this... special?"

Suddenly, a cold edge shrouded the top of the head, threatening Gu Wanran.

She breathed lightly, didn't dare to look up, and hurriedly said: "I said something wrong, I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious."

After a long time, she finally noticed that the determination in that gaze was fading, and Jiang Yuechen's voice sounded again: "My father used a similar method before."

"So that's how it is..." Gu Wanran forced a smile, "Thank you Mr. Jiang for answering the question for me."

She knew that this hurdle was over, and Jiang Yuechen would not continue her affairs with Deng Linwen.

really--

"Go out." Jiang Yuechen lacked interest, pulled out the office chair and sat down, "It's so irreparable, I won't care about you."

He was referring to incidents of plagiarism.

This matter is related to his interests, so he will protect Wanran, but if there is a big price to pay, he will choose to give it up instead of paying useless efforts.

Gu Wanran nodded: "I understand."

She slowly let go of her clasped palm, a layer of sweat broke out on it.

Leaving the office, she exhaled softly, walked to the corner, pulled out Yuan Xia's chat box, and quickly typed: "The audio and surveillance I gave you earlier, do you still have the files there? I need it urgently."

After sending a message, waiting for 5 minutes, seeing that Yuan Xia didn't reply, Gu Wanran went back to the department.

In the evening, she received a reply from Yuan Xia: "I'm sorry, I transferred everything to Su He, and I deleted it here... I am an actor, and some hackers who want my information will hack my computer from time to time. I dare not keep it." , and at that time I didn't know that you and Su Ho were already together, so I just..."

Gu Wanran could understand her thoughts, and after a few words of comfort, she felt a headache.

... Su He, the last time we met was before the start of the official competition, and it has been several months since the last time she took the initiative to contact.

Want to ask for it?
Gu Wanran still didn't do this in the end, maybe the matter would be suppressed by Jiang Yuechen, she didn't need to disturb Su He, she didn't want to break this state of not seeing each other.

Taking advantage of the weekend rest, Gu Wanran rushed to the hospital and first told Gu Linshan what he knew.

Gu Linshan pondered for a moment: "You did the right thing, it's useless to be anxious now. I have also heard about Deng Linwen's reputation over the years. He is famous for his good temper and timidity. The more you force him, the more effective it will be. not good."

Gu Wanran said: "I think so too. He has a meek temper. If I retreat, he may rush me and even feel guilty towards us. Maybe it will get twice the result with half the effort."

Gu Linshan nodded: "Well, how was the competition? Deng Linwen's matter can be put aside for a while, and the result is only a few days away. Are you sure about your perfume?"

Gu Wanran didn't tell him about the plagiarism, but just asked with a smile: "My perfume is naturally fine, don't you believe me?"
