Luan Nian refused to admit that he cared about Shang Zhitao, but Tan Mian had already seen through it.In the shared house, Sun Yu was also asking if Luan Nian sent Shang Zhitao back. Sun Yuanzhu quickly answered and said that it was normal to get help from his superiors at work and there was no need to think too much.Shang Zhitao continued to complete the supplier evaluation while dealing with her roommates, and did not let her private embarrassment delay the project.

Liang Xin came to Luan Nian and mentioned that Mr. Lin had gone to the United States to report on his work.Luan Nian knew that regaining Yue Teng was an important achievement of Mr. Lin's trip, but he didn't say much about the rumors that an acting general manager was about to be appointed.Liang Xin reminded him that it was best to stabilize the project now and not rush to overthrow the old rules in supplier cooperation, lest it touch the interests of too many people.Luan Nian heard that someone had complained to her, but thought that since the rectification could save the company's costs, it should be carried out.

While talking, Shang Zhitao sent over the completed plan.Luan Nian was quite satisfied after seeing it, and it was rare for him to praise her in front of Liang Xin for recruiting a good employee.When formally reporting to Yueteng, the evaluation plan was approved by the customer. Luan Nian publicly affirmed the data system built by Shang Zhitao and asked Liang Xin if he could give some actual rewards since he had done a good job.Lu Mi took the opportunity to propose that she be promoted to a senior client for execution. Liang Xin did not object. She was about to discuss who would sign the contract, but was interrupted by a sudden message.

An email involving Luan Nian's personal life is being circulated in the company, distorting his conflict with his ex-girlfriend into a violent scandal.Liang Xin called him into the office, hoping to come up with a solution as soon as possible.Luan Nian was not in a hurry to defend himself and was prepared to check the evidence first.In another office, Zhang Ling was blaming Annie for not doing these things secretly, fearing that she would be harmed in the end.Anne said that if there was a problem, she would try to remove him.

Tianran showed the email to Shang Zhitao, and she immediately went to find Lumi.Lumi knew that his ex-girlfriend had called and pestered her many times, and Shang Zhitao had witnessed the conflict in the hotel with his own eyes. The two wanted to testify for Luan Nian together, but were stopped by Liang Xin.Luan Nian didn't want to involve them in the investigation and had already made an explanation in advance.The headquarters subsequently sent someone to investigate the situation. Although his colleagues admitted that he had a cold temper and was hard-spoken, they spoke highly of his professional abilities.

Luan Nian discovered the flaw from the recipient list of the email.The list was obviously hand-selected by people familiar with the company's structure. It also included employees who had only joined the company in the past year. Since he and his ex-girlfriend had been separated for more than a year, it was impossible for the other party to have this information.This shows that someone inside the company is involved behind the email, and it cannot just be directed at the ex-girlfriend.

He made an appointment with Tan Mian, Song Qiuhan and other friends.Song Qiuhan complained that the bar he had just renovated was stopped by his father. Luan Nian promised to help him find another place and bear the cost of renovating it.But right now, he needs help from his friends to restore the situation in the hotel that day.After checking, Tan Mian found that the power outage was caused by someone deliberately breaking the power line, and he could roughly judge the location of the photo in the email.The store's surveillance system failed due to a power outage. Fortunately, the driving recorder of a nearby car was always on, leaving key footage.

Before the investigation was over, the company suspended Luan Nian's work and replaced him temporarily with Zhang Ling.Shang Zhitao was very worried when he heard the news. When being questioned, he spoke seriously about Luan Nian, whom he knew, and said that although he was not good at expressing himself, he had helped many colleagues.She then rushed to his house and kept ringing the doorbell.Luan Nian was shaving, and when he saw the person coming through the peephole, he got nervous and scratched his chin.After meeting, he deliberately let her see the wound. Shang Zhitao was busy putting on the band-aid, but the more he cared about it, the worse it became.

Luan Nian asked her why she no longer avoided suspicion, and Shang Zhitao said that she was willing to help wherever her efforts were needed.He took her to the hillside to relax, and she advised him not to leave Lingmei like this, and not to give up. Although she was usually mean to others, her words were indeed useful.Seeing that she was cold, Luan Nian opened his coat and hugged her.The two were very close, and he wanted to kiss her, but she was still worried that her impulse would lead to disappointment, so she finally broke away from the hug and said she wanted to go back.

After getting all the videos, Luan Nian did not hand them over directly to the investigation team, but went to Mr. Lin first.Both of them knew that once this matter was deemed to be an infighting within the company, it might lead to accountability from the headquarters and even customers would lose their trust.Mr. Lin said that Zhang Ling did not personally plan it, and Luan Nian did not insist on expanding the problem infinitely.Mr. Lin promised that he would serve as the acting general manager after the storm subsided.

The company eventually issued a clarification confirming that the rumors were untrue.Luan Nian resumed work and took over the responsibilities of acting general manager.Liang Xin brought a large pile of documents and asked him to sign. She also informed him that he could move into Mr. Lin's original office.At the new budget meeting, the 10 million yuan budget reported by Zhang Ling and Anni was significantly reduced to 500,000 yuan.Annie was obviously dissatisfied, but Zhang Ling could only remind her privately that she should pay special attention to her attitude now.
