After Dasihai, it’s imdiately followed by Lantian Hotel and then Jia Lihua, who is listed last.
While Jia Lihua was midway through her statent, Li Ruhai’s assistant suddenly rushed in flusteredly, quickly approaching Li Ruhai and whispering into his ear.
Li Ruhai’s face imdiately turned ashen.
"What happened?" Gu Qili noticed that sothing was off with Li Ruhai and his assistant, leaning in to quietly ask.
Li Ruhai’s voice trembled as he spoke: "The proposed docunt is missing."
Gu Qili thought he was referring to the one they printed for the upcoming presentation, but seeing Li Ruhai so panicked, she felt things weren’t so simple.
"The printed proposal and the computer have both disappeared." Li Ruhai looked sowhat dazed, but then firmly asked, "Are you sure you’ve searched everywhere?"
The assistant was also nervously sweating profusely. After Li Ruhai and Gu Qili left the lounge, he had stayed to organize the final docunts. Other hotel staff were there too, and suddenly five or six reporter-looking individuals entered, wanting to interview them. In the chaos, soone knocked into soone or stepped on soone, a fight broke out, then security arrived, and everything turned utterly chaotic. By the ti he regained his bearings, the computer and the printed docunts that had been on the table were gone.
"President Li, I truly searched everywhere; no one saw anything." The assistant had been searching for a while now, turning the conference center upside down, otherwise, he wouldn’t have shown up when the presentations from the three hotels were nearly finished.
"President Li, isn’t there still a copy in your inbox?" Gu Qili carefully asked.
Li Ruhai’s eyebrows knitted tightly, as if tangled with unresolved worries. He shook his head: "Since this docunt is highly confidential, I was afraid soone would steal it through the internet, so once it was printed, I had it completely deleted. This has always been the procedure—for confidential docunts, we only keep the original paper version in a secure safe; we don’t store copies on computers. Didn’t I also have you delete your copy previously?"
This ant that the copy they lost was their only version of the proposal.
The assistant, knowing the gravity of what he had lost, looked utterly dejected and didn’t know what to do. After this proposal eting, he could pack up and leave.
"President Li, don’t you find it strange?" Gu Qili thought for a mont, lowering her voice, "Why did reporters suddenly burst into the lounge? And why did a fight break out all of a sudden? Although the computer is worth so money, it’s unnecessary to create such a commotion just to steal a computer."
"You an, soone did this deliberately?" Li Ruhai also sensed sothing was amiss. He glanced at the person from Lantian Hotel who was still presenting, "Lantian Hotel has always been our arch-enemy. Could it be their doing?"
Gu Qili shook her head, "Everyone knows that emails can be saved on computers, even if the computer and the printout were stolen. It wouldn’t be useful; it’d only cause us a little trouble. Does the Lantian Hotel know our rules? The rule about not storing confidential files?"
Li Ruhai shook his head: "They shouldn’t know." After saying this, he suddenly had an epiphany, "Do you suspect..."
Gu Qili t his gaze firmly, nodding: "I suspect it was soone from our side."
Hearing this, the assistant almost knelt down, "President Li, it really wasn’t ."
The presentation on the stage continued; because the microphone was on, the sound was particularly loud, and their quiet whispering did not attract anyone’s attention.
anwhile, in Aus City, soone was wearing sunglasses that almost covered half his face, making it impossible to discern his expression. He, trusted her.
"President Li." Gu Qili suddenly said seriously: "If you trust , can I take over this presentation?" At the airport, Mu Shuoqian had just disembarked from the plane, hurrying through the VIP passage, with Xiao Ran following behind, dragging the suitcase, holding a phone in one hand and making a call.
"Young Master Qian, everything is as you expected." Xiao Ran hung up the phone, quickly catching up, "But I just don’t know what’s next..."
The bridge of Mu Shuoqian’s nose
Li Ruhai was racking his brains for a solution, even thinking that if nothing else worked, he would just have to rely on his mory to make the best presentation possible. Suddenly hearing Gu Qili’s words, he was sowhat dumbfounded, as though he hadn’t imdiately grasped what she ant, and after hesitating for a long while, he uncertainly replied, "Have you do the presentation?"
"Yes." Gu Qili glanced at the competitors still presenting; they had almost all sent their strategic directors, who appeared to be in their thirties or forties, mixing their speech with a bit of Aus City dialect. However, they were experienced, smooth, and adaptable, extrely suitable for such large events.
Li Ruhai solemnly looked at the woman sitting quietly by his side; since learning of the loss of materials, she hadn’t shown any sense of nervousness. Her calmness was much like a particular individual... Yes, just like the CEO he deeply respected. Having been by his side all these years, he had only seen him strategize and look down on the world with majesty and awe, always with wisdom and calm, graceful in his talents. Being by his side, his heart never lacked confidence, as if there were nothing in the world he couldn’t handle.
In this mont, Gu Qili gave him that sa impression. Although she wasn’t as steady and commanding as Mu Shuoqian, she suddenly made him feel at ease.
"Miss Gu, without the script..."
Gu Qili gestured a victory sign to him quietly: "Don’t worry, I can recite that proposal word for word."
Li Ruhai: "..."
The assistant: "..."
A one-hour presentation script, and she said, she could recite it word for word.
