Chapter 166 Why don't you dare say you're completely innocent with Duan Yiheng?

Xu Yu frowned upon hearing this. She was asking Chen Jingyi, so naturally she hoped Chen Jingyi would give her an answer as soon as possible, rather than waiting for her to ask further questions down the chain of command.

Although Lin Xi was not Chen Jingyi's subordinate, they were in the same project team. Since she lacked Chen Jingyi's experience, she was naturally looked down upon by Chen Jingyi.

Xu Yu saw all of this.

But Lin Xi was Duan Yiheng's person after all, so even he wouldn't give her a hard time.

Chen Jingyi's gaze towards Lin Xi was suspicious; she seemed to be targeting him at every turn.

However, she was also curious about how Lin Xi would handle it.

Most of the others looked at Lin Xi out of curiosity.

Lin Xi smiled and said calmly, "Excuse me, Director Xu, the document you're holding seems to be mine."

"Hmm?" Xu Yu closed the file; Lin Xi's name was indeed on the cover.

"I'm sorry, it was my oversight." Lin Xi handed the document in her hand to Xu Yu. "This is your document."

Xu Yu glanced at the page with the error, her gaze pausing slightly: "What's going on? This one is correct."

Chen Jingyi's expression changed.

Xu Yu took Chen Liangyi's documents and compared them. Chen Liangyi was so stunned that she couldn't stop him.

After reading it, Xu Yu's face darkened, and he said, "Team Leader Li, let me take a look at your document."

Li Ke suspiciously handed his documents to Xu Yu, and sure enough, they were all correct.

Xu Yu glanced at Chen Liangyi without leaving a trace, and then gave Lin Xi a technical solution that contained outdated parameters.

Chen Jingyi was at a loss for words, but unfortunately, she had just told Xu Yu that Lin Xi had checked it.

The others in the meeting room were puzzled by Xu Yu's silence.

Just as she was about to speak, Lin Xi said, "Yesterday, Manager Chen gave me the technical solution needed for the client's meeting. When I checked it, I found that an outdated version of the parameters was mixed in. When I found it, I contacted Xiao Zhou in the technical department, and I have the call record as proof."

As she spoke, she took out her phone, which showed a conversation between Lin Xi and a technician—

Lin Xi explained the reason and asked the other party to confirm.

Xiao Zhou said, "Secretary Lin, the parameters have indeed been updated. Who gave you the file? If we hadn't discovered it, wouldn't this have led to a major disaster?"

Lin Xi smiled and said, "I remember I was busy until very late at the time. President Duan was working overtime, so I told him the truth. Since it was my first time participating in the project, I was extra careful, so I left a voice message."

Suddenly, someone from the technical department said, "But my data is correct."

Lin Xi feigned surprise: "Huh? Is it only me who's wrong?"

The meeting room was completely silent, but everyone's eyes quietly turned to Chen Jingyi.

Chen Jingyi gave a dry laugh: "Maybe I took the wrong one."

"Snapped--"

Xu Yu threw the documents in front of her: "How could a manager like you make mistakes with project information? Are you even capable? If you're not, then get out."

Chen Jingyi gritted her teeth and said, "I'm sorry, I accept the punishment."

Xu Yu glared at her: "Internal reprimand."

Chen Jingyi broke out in a cold sweat, lowered her head and responded, then looked at Lin Xi with an extremely deep gaze.

Lin Xi didn't take her seriously and said, "To ensure that everyone has the same documents, I have uploaded the latest version of the plan to the cloud and generated a unique version number. You can view it through the link."

The projector displays the file's version number and modification history.

Xu Yu smiled with satisfaction, and her gaze towards Lin Xi softened considerably.

After the meeting ended, only Chen Jingyi and Lin Xi remained inside.

Lin Xi, while collecting the documents, spoke to Chen Liangyi for the first time, saying, "You're being too hasty. Haste makes waste. You've only just become a manager, and you already dare to sabotage my projects. Do you think anyone else will protect you like Zheng Jizhong?"

Chen Jingyi was consumed by inner demons, wishing she could tear Lin Xi's face apart.

“Our experiences are similar, but I wasn’t abandoned. That shouldn’t be your reason to target me.” Lin Xi’s gaze held a hint of sarcasm. “Even now, I have never told anyone your secret. Perhaps that’s the difference between us.”

"I don't need your fake kindness," Chen Jingyi said sharply. "I'm not as good at acting as you are. You pretended to be weak and made the two brothers fight over you. Are you very proud of yourself?"

Lin Xi's face darkened: "Watch your mouth. Duan Mingxuan and I are completely innocent."

Chen Jingyi sneered: "Why don't you dare say that you and Duan Yiheng are completely innocent?"

Lin Xi bit her lower lip, unsure how to retort.

Chen Jingyi still remembered that this was a conference room, and Lin Xi had Duan Yiheng backing her up, so she didn't dare to launch another attack.

Seeing Lin Xi speechless, she felt a little better.

Lin Xi only breathed a sigh of relief after she left.

However, she felt a tightness in her chest; Chen Jingyi was right, but she dared not speak.

Around 5 p.m., Duan Yiheng brought Qin Yang back to his office.

As I passed by Lin Xi's door, I casually knocked: "Come in and report on the morning's meeting."

Lin Xi immediately got up and followed.

He recounted the events of the morning to Duan Yiheng, who showed no surprise.

In fact, Xu Yu had already told him.

"It was handled alright," Duan Yiheng said. "Over time, you'll find that these are all minor issues."

Lin Xi nodded: "I understand."

"Tomorrow is Saturday, are you busy?" Duan Yiheng suddenly asked.

Lin Xi shook her head: "Go see Grandpa."

"Let's go to the old man's place tonight," Duan Yiheng said. "I'll take you to the store to pick out a dress during the day."

Lin Xi was taken aback: "What dress?"

Duan Yiheng said, "The dress I wore to the charity gala in early March."

"No need," Lin Xi said. "There are still many clothes in the closet that I haven't worn yet."

Duan Yiheng said, "Just consider it as going out for a walk to clear your head."

Lin Xi: "Is it just the two of us?"

Duan Yiheng nodded: "These are all private, exclusive services. What are you afraid of? My calendar shows that my aunt's birthday is in half a month. Can you help me see what a suitable birthday gift to give her? Every year, whatever I give her gets her complaints."

Lin Xi had met Meng Huaishan's mother many years ago. Her only impression of her was that she had a bad temper and would chase after Meng Huaishan to beat him.

"Is it okay or not?" Duan Yiheng looked at her. "Give me a straight answer. If it's not okay, I'll give Qin Yang a card and let him buy according to the budget on the card."

Lin Xi stopped him: "Never mind, I'll go with you. Brother Meng helped me terminate the adoption, and I was going to treat him to a meal, but he kept declining, saying he was too busy."

Then let's give his mother a belated birthday gift.

Duan Yiheng replied, "Then I'll be waiting for you downstairs at Tiandu Yuxi at ten o'clock tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

Duan Yiheng was always punctual; he was already there when Lin Xi came downstairs at 9:50.

Lin Xi saw his car in the distance and instinctively jogged over, like a light butterfly.
