Catching the Mole

"I spoke too much. Don't get too excited. You will get a headache soon." Lu Ping could tell that Li Yan was already drunk. He checked the time on his phone and realized that there was very little time left before his plane took off. He still had a project to deal with.

"Oh, where's your phone? Let me call your driver to take you back," Lu Ping searched Li Yan's body but heard him muttering, "Ningning… Ningning…"

Lu Ping also understood that he wanted to see Ning Zhi. Lu Ping reluctantly called her.

Ning Zhi was in the middle of presenting to Wan Feng. Lu Ping tried several times, but there was no answer.

Li Yan's phone suddenly lit up in the corner, catching Lu Ping's attention.

Lu Ping picked it up and realized that the caller was Lu Yue. It took him a while to remember who Lu Yue was. Wasn't she the new substitute that Li Yan had been with him recently? He had seen her before, and she bore a ninety percent resemblance to Su Heng.

To catch the flight, Lu Ping didn't care who she was. He quickly informed Lu Yue of Li Yan's whereabouts. Surprisingly, Lu Yue promptly arrived with a driver.

Ning Zhi and Sha Lan rushed back to the company. As soon as they got out of the car, Ning Zhi called for a meeting with the entire sales department.

Sha Lan was unwilling to acknowledge it, but it seemed that this mole could be found among them.

"What's the matter? It's almost time to get off work. Don't delay me from going home!"

Complaints filled the conference room. After all, they had worked hard for so long to secure the project, only to have it ruined due to Ning Zhi's negligence. Anyone would be frustrated, especially when they knew that Ning Zhi was the one calling the meeting.

"Everyone, calm down. I have something to announce." Sha Lan took control of the situation for a while before the room hushed up.

"Why is she here? We wouldn't have suffered such a huge loss if it wasn't for her!" The person who spoke was He Tong, the one who had bad-mouthed Ning Zhi in the restroom earlier.

He Tong's words sparked the discussions among them again. The annoying noise started once again.

"That's what I want to talk about. We should thank Special Assistant Ning. If it weren't for her…" Sha Lan was interrupted by He Tong.

"Thank her for what? For ruining our project!"

Ning Zhi looked up and glared at He Tong, scaring her into silence.

He Tong did not expect Ning Zhi to have transformed. She felt like Ning Zhi had a sense of contempt for everything.

"Everyone, listen to me!" Seeing that nobody else was talking, Sha Lan continued again. "We have to thank Special Assistant Ning this time. If she hadn't turned the tide around, our project would have failed."

"What do you mean?" Some of them did not understand.

Ning Zhi continued, "It means that I managed to salvage Director Wan's project. The contract has been signed. You can continue to execute it."

Ning Zhi placed the contract on the table.

"It's signed here, in black and white. Don't worry, the final results will still be credited to your sales department." Her words echoed through the room that had gone unusually quiet.

Then, a loud revelry drowned the room. The subordinates were discussing where to hold a celebratory feast, while He Tong's expression was not good.

"Quiet… quiet!" Ning Zhi tried her best to shout at the top of her lungs and managed to silence the room.

"The celebration and dinner can wait until tonight. There's something more important for us to do now." Ning Zhi scanned everyone in the meeting room.

They suddenly realized that Special Assistant Ning was not to be trifled with. She was completely different from the previous easygoing Special Assistant.

"Everyone knows that we had to redo this project because someone tampered with the documents. So now, it's time to find out who is the culprit."

The people in the room looked at each other, not knowing who the mole could be.

"Elder Brother Li… Elder Brother Li?"

Li Yan felt like his head was about to explode. The effects of the alcohol had lessened, but he still had a terrible headache. He opened his tired eyes and realized that he was in the car. Lu Yue's voice was extremely sweet like it was oversaturated with glucose.

"Where am I?" Li Yan asked, his voice sounded harsh.

"Elder Brother Li, you were drinking with CEO Lu just now. Then, he rushed to catch a plane, so I picked you up."

Lu Yue's voice made Li Yan even more uncomfortable. He raised his hand and signaled her to help him up.
