Zhurong Technology’s core competitiveness lies in their research and development capabilities and innovative abilities.
When Shu Tinglan saw Director Xiao, she saw her chatting with Wang Yan, the CTO of Zhuo Yuan. Seeing Shu Tinglan at the door, she beckoned her over.
“Tinglan, please help arrange the venue for Mr. Wang.”
Wang Yan brought several research personnel from Zhuo Yuan Technology, probably to be judges. Only one female assistant was busy setting up the venue, running around in a hurry. Shu Tinglan hurriedly went over to help.
“Thank you,” the female assistant said with a grateful smile.
“You’re welcome.”
Shu Tinglan once again admired Xiao Director’s abilities with great respect. Unlike other law firms that directly targeted Zhuo Yuan Technology’s headquarters or Zhuo Yu’an himself, he chose to attack from the periphery first. As the head of technology for Zhuo Yuan Technology in China, Wang Yan was Zhuo Yu’an’s trusted general, and his words carried significant weight.
Approaching Wang Yan was the sole purpose of Director Xiao’s trip, and it was a resounding success.
When they returned to Hēnshōuzhōu, Jiājiā bought a lot of local specialties from Qīngníng to give to her colleagues. She was indeed very good at socializing. Shào Zhǔrèn’s mood was also good because his objective had been achieved. He no longer spoke coldly and rudely to them until they boarded the plane. When they parted ways at the airport, he said to the two of them…
“The food critic’s final report, we’ll discuss it at the morning meeting. Please refine it some more.”
This was Shu Tinglan’s first project, and she didn’t dare to be careless. After returning home from the airport, she took a shower and then sat down with her computer, reviewing her investigation from the past few days. She made sure everything was accurate before shutting it down.
The other day, she was on a business trip to Qining. She slept restlessly and hardly got any sleep. Now that she’s had a good night’s sleep until dawn, she feels refreshed and in high spirits.
However, the atmosphere turned somber during the meeting to discuss the due diligence report of the food craftsman.

“This is the trash you showed me after a four-day business trip?”

That was a few hundred pages of due diligence reports done by Jiajia. Besides the parts she wrote herself, there were also various materials provided by Shijian Company, which were very comprehensive.
But obviously, Director Xiao is very unhappy.
Jia Jia was scolded in public, her eyes were red, she silently sorted the files one by one, suddenly looked up at Shu Tinglan, and then said: “Boss, I’m only responsible for collecting and summarizing these materials. The final audit is actually completed by Tinglan.”
She suddenly turned her spear towards Shu Tinglan.
Shu Tinglan immediately realized she had fallen into Jiajia’s trap. That night at the hotel, when she helped Jiajia revise the report out of kindness, Jiajia had been prepared and deliberately asked for her help.
If Director Xiao is satisfied with this due diligence report, Jiajia can take credit for it;
If Director Xiao is not satisfied with this report, she can shift the blame to Shu Tinglan. After all, Shu Tinglan is the one handling the final stage.
The entire conference room held its breath, watching Shu Tinglan. Most of them were there to watch the show.
Mr. Xiao frowned and continued to scold Jiajia for not being dedicated enough to her work, then turned to Shu Tinglan and asked:
“Are these what you’ve approved? Have you considered that everything Shijian Company provides, including sales contracts, purchase contracts, and even their inventory records, could be fabricated? To hand over this unverified data to clients is it responsible?”
Director Xiao’s voice was cold and sharp as he stared at Shu Tinglan. Jiajia also glared at Shu Tinglan, her eyes red with anger. All the lawyers in the group looked at her, as if she couldn’t possibly have made such a low-level mistake.
His eyes seemed to say, “Newcomers are really unreliable. They’re too impetuous and eager for quick success and instant gratification.” No one delved deeper into the matter; Jiajia was the primary person in charge of this portion of the work.
