Chapter 829: Everything Is Within His Control
"He had made thorough preparations, including anticipating possible reactions and actions from Lu Xiao, which were all within his expectations. The current predicament of Re Group will be reversed soon."
Qin Nanyu paused, then resumed speaking, "If I’m not mistaken, the experimental project at Re Group has not been affected. Lu Jing just threw us a smoke bomb to make us lower our guard. In reality, their experiments are still proceeding at full throttle, even more aggressively than ours."
Just as he finished speaking, Qin Nanyu’s phone rang again.
He answered the call, and in less than a minute, put the phone on speaker so his assistant could repeat the previous message.
"Re Group has just announced another set of experimental data. Their progress is too fast; they’ve left us far behind. With this news, Re Group’s stock price is comprehensively recovering. Lu Jing was prepared to use this experimental project to smoothly complete the internal reshuffle at Re Group!"
Ji Weitian: "..."
"Bang—"
More shocked than Ji Weitian was Zhang Lingying, who had just arrived at the entrance of the records room and intended to greet Qin Nanyu and Ji Weitian.
She was carrying bubble tea for the lab members, which all fell to the ground at this moment.
On her fair face was a look of obvious astonishment. Meeting the gaze of Qin Nanyu and Ji Weitian, she quickly regained her composure, bent down, and picked up the bubble tea.
"Sorry, I came at a bad time and accidentally overheard... Uh, these are for you." Zhang Lingying stepped forward and placed two cups of bubble tea on the table.
Before anyone could speak, Zhang Lingying turned around with the remaining bubble tea and entered the lab.
"Lingying..."
Ji Weitian took the bubble tea, looked up, and only saw her hurriedly leaving back, stunned.
Beside her, Qin Nanyu watched Zhang Lingying’s silhouette disappear, a hint of dark light appearing in his eyes. Seeing Ji Weitian about to follow her to the lab, he reached out to stop her, "Don’t worry about her now. I have something else to discuss with you."
"Wha-what is it?" Ji Weitian, still thinking about Zhang Lingying’s odd behavior, asked perfunctorily upon hearing Qin Nanyu’s words.
Qin Nanyu narrowed his eyes, "Dr. CC."
Ji Weitian: "..."
-
In the lab.
When Zhang Lingying came in carrying bubble tea, everyone had just received the news from Song Shu about Re Group’s experimental progress, and they were all groaning.
Lei Yunjia slumped directly onto his seat, wailing up at the sky, "I thought this was our chance, but now they tell me it’s the day of impending judgment for us, oh heavens, oh earth!"
Wang Xi, who wasn’t good with words, saw his disheartened look and grabbed the armrest of his chair to shake it, attempting to comfort him, "If we try a little harder, there’s still a chance."
"What chance? A chance to be forever left behind?"
Lei Yunjia slid his chair over to his computer, pointing at the webpage showing the newly announced experimental data from Re Group, "Look at this set and then this one. Although I hate to admit it, Re Group’s current experimental progress is not just ahead of us by a little, it’s a whole chasm!"
The most face-slapping thing is that this experimental project started before Re Group, and now they are being completely crushed.
It would be hard for anyone to accept with equanimity.
Not to mention the straightforward Lei Yunjia, even the usually steady Liu Pan was silent this time.
Zhang Lingying froze at the door, her hand gripping tightly to the bag of bubble tea silently.
