i Shu had a sense of what was going on. Seeing her so nervous, she deflected with a smile, “What delicious dishes are prepared for dinner?”
Lin He forced a smile, “There are a few dishes you love, but I’m worried that with Mom so angry right now, there might be…”
“Don’t worry,” i Shu interrupted, reaching out to hold her hand. “Relax, I know why she’s so angry. I’ll explain it to her.”
“Really?” Lin He didn’t want to see a day when i Shu and Feng Mo would fall out.
One is a good friend who has saved her from the bottom, with a debt of gratitude.
The other is a mother who sincerely paves the way for her.
But if she really had to choose between them, she would undoubtedly choose i Shu without hesitation.
“Absolutely,” i Shu patted her arm and glanced at Lu Si, “Take care of him for , I’ll go see Ms. Feng, and I’ll be back soon.”
“I’ll escort you up.” Lu Si frowned, staring at her legs until he left her at the study door.
Upstairs.
Feng Mo was sitting at the desk, organizing today’s contestant information. She didn’t even look up at the knocking on the door, just coldly said, “Co in.”
i Shu pushed the door open, first politely greeted Feng Mo, then limped over to the chair opposite her and sat down. “Ms. Feng, I know why you’re angry, it’s because of the batch of machines at the competition venue, right?”
Feng Mo had never been so furious, it was a kind of anger and resentnt at discovering she had been deceived.
She slamd the table, suddenly stood up with fierce eyes, and harshly said, “Then explain to , I clearly told you to use brand new machines, why did you cut corners and use those unreliable old machines, causing such a serious accident at the competition venue?”
i Shu smiled amiably, “Ms. Feng, please calm down first. Even if you don’t trust , don’t you trust Lin He’s judgnt? The fact that she has such a good relationship with is enough to show that I am a trustworthy person.”
Feng Mo snorted coldly, sneering, “People in business like you are the most cunning. Although Lin He is not young, she lacks social experience. There’s no guarantee she won’t be fooled by you!”
i Shu sighed helplessly, “Ms. Feng, you’re really misunderstanding . I understand your prejudice against people in the business world, and I understand why you would think that way. But you have to believe , I, i Shu, am definitely not the kind of person you disdain the most.”
Feng Mo turned her head in anger, then slowly sat down, taking a deep breath. “So what’s the deal with the machines?”
i Shu said, “Indeed, I bought a batch of brand new machines according to your instructions to operate the entire competition venue. But on the day of acceptance, I received news that the machines malfunctioned due to water ingress and were all scrapped.”
“What did you say?” Feng Mo keenly sensed sothing suspicious. “How could perfectly good machines have water ingress? There’s no water source in the control room!”
“That’s the problem,” i Shu nodded earnestly. “But this matter has never been conclusively determined. There were no surveillance caras installed at the competition site at the ti, so there was no way to investigate. However, after tonight’s probing, I have figured out who was behind it.”
Feng Mo frowned, her voice becoming more severe, “I’m asking you, since the batch of new machines purchased initially were unusable, why didn’t you explain all this to and instead took it upon yourself to switch to old machines?”
“Because I couldn’t let the money go to waste,” i Shu said.
“So you substituted inferior machines and got caught red-handed?” Feng Mo’s sarcasm intensified. “i Shu, your unilateral decision-making makes it very hard for to trust you.”
“Ms. Feng, you’re mistaken again,” i Shu said calmly. “I didn’t use old machines to deceive you. In fact, that batch of old machines was just a cover. The real batch of machines was hidden in another control room, where only my secretary and I had the keys.”
“Are you saying you didn’t use that batch of old machines at all?” Feng Mo was completely puzzled.
Things were clearly very different from what she had imagined.
i Shu smiled, “Exactly, but the real mastermind behind the scenes doesn’t know that. Their goal was to force to use old machines for profit, to go against our agreent, and then tamper with them during the competition to deliberately cause problems with the old machines, so that you would discover everything and completely sever our relationship.”
“How can I believe you?” Feng Mo asked cautiously.
i Shu had anticipated she would say that and handed her the invoice for the purchase of the new machines, which she had already prepared as evidence. “It took a lot of effort to procure these new machines. The ti on this invoice is after your inspection, which is enough to prove that everything I said is true. If you still don’t believe , you can go to the manufacturer and ask in person to see if what I said is true.”
Feng Mo glanced at her, then lowered her gaze to inspect the invoice. After confirming its authenticity, the fire in her heart finally subsided.
