Chapter 130: In the midst of a struggle: emotions well up
The expert's expression suddenly grew serious. He picked up the microphone, scanned the room, and slowly began, "Everyone, just now, we received news that the proposal your company submitted..." He paused, his gaze darting towards Wu Xinyan, "is highly similar to that of another company. We have reason to suspect plagiarism."
"What?!" Wu Xinyan felt as if a basin of cold water was poured over her head, and she stood there in a daze.
The audience began to whisper, and questioning eyes pierced Wu Xinyan and her team like needles.
Wang's team members turned pale and couldn't help but grumble in a low voice: "I said...we..."
Zheng's smiling face suddenly darkened. He stood up abruptly, pointed at Wu Xinyan, and asked sternly, "Ms. Wu, I hope you can give us a reasonable explanation!"
"That's impossible!" Wu Xinyan reacted and immediately retorted, "Our proposal was painstakingly crafted by all our team members, word for word. How could it be plagiarized?!"
"But the facts are right in front of you. What else can you say?" Partner Zheng pressed aggressively. "I'll give you ten minutes to give me a reasonable explanation immediately. Otherwise..." He sneered, "We have no choice but to terminate our cooperation!"
"Ten minutes..." Wu Xinyan felt dizzy and her heart was beating violently.
"Xinyan..." Luo Yichen's voice suddenly came from outside the door, with a hint of imperceptible anxiety.
Luo Yichen's arrival undoubtedly dropped a bombshell in the already tense atmosphere.
Everyone knows that Luo Yichen rarely asks about the company's specific projects. His appearance this time is enough to prove the seriousness of the situation.
However, at this moment, Luo Yichen was trapped in the office by a pile of urgent documents and was extremely worried.
He could only hurriedly send a few messages to Wu Xinyan after finishing a document. Although they were just a few words, they were full of trust and encouragement.
Wu Xinyan looked at the words flashing on the phone screen, feeling mixed emotions. A warm feeling surged in her heart, but was instantly replaced by the cold reality.
He was not around, and she had to face it all alone.
Taking a deep breath, Wu Xinyan forced herself to calm down.
Her eyes were like torches, sweeping across everyone present, and she said in a firm tone: "Ten minutes is enough! Team member Wang, you are responsible for organizing all the original data of our plan, including design drawings, data models, meeting minutes, everything!" Team member Wang was stunned for a moment and nodded in panic.
"Engineer Zhang, please contact Expert Liu immediately. We need his professional advice!"
"Assistant Li, you go..."
Wu Xinyan spoke quickly and assigned tasks with clear thinking, like a general who was commanding her soldiers to prepare for this sudden and tough battle.
Under her leadership, the team, which was originally in a panic, gradually restored order and began to act in an orderly manner.
"Ten minutes, start!" Wu Xinyan glanced at her watch, her tone firm, her eyes flashing with determination.
Time passed minute by minute, and the conference room was so quiet that only the rustling of papers and rapid breathing could be heard.
Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Wu Xinyan's forehead, but she had no time to wipe them off. Her eyes were fixed on the documents in her hands, and her brain was working rapidly, integrating and analyzing the information submitted by various groups.
"Xinyan, what's wrong?" Wang's team member couldn't help but ask, with a hint of trembling in his tone.
"Don't panic, we can do it." Wu Xinyan raised her head and gave him a firm look.
Her gaze swept over everyone, her tone calm yet powerful. "I believe everyone on our team has a clear conscience. Only we ourselves know how much effort we've put in. Now, all we have to do is showcase these efforts and silence those who doubt us!"
Her voice was not loud, but it was like beating a war drum in everyone's heart, and the originally depressed atmosphere was instantly ignited.
Everyone encouraged each other, and the light of hope was rekindled in their eyes.
Finally, when the ten-minute deadline was about to expire, Wu Xinyan closed the document in her hand, took a deep breath, and slowly stood up.
She walked to the conference table, looked at Zheng's partner calmly, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone:
"Mr. Zheng, we've found relevant evidence proving our proposal is original. Our team conducted extensive market research and technical analysis at the beginning of the design process, and based on this..."
Wu Xinyan clearly explained their design concept, technical route and the differences from other companies' solutions. Every piece of data and every chart was carefully considered and verified.
She used irrefutable facts to prove the innocence of their team and also demonstrated her extraordinary professionalism and strong aura.
Zheng's expression gradually relaxed, and his originally furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
He listened carefully to every word Wu Xinyan said, with appreciation in his eyes.
At this moment, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open and Luo Yichen strode in.
He walked straight to Wu Xinyan, his eyes full of affection and guilt: "I'm sorry, I'm late."
When Wu Xinyan saw him, her tense nerves finally relaxed, the grievances in her heart suddenly surged up, and her eyes turned slightly red.
Luo Yichen gently held her hand and said in a voice that only they could hear: "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
The two looked at each other, and an ambiguous atmosphere flowed in the air.
However, before they could say anything more, Tendering Officer Wu suddenly stood up, swept his eyes across the room, and said in a serious tone, "Everyone, I have one more announcement to make about this project..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a ringing cell phone. It was Luo Yichen's phone. He picked up the call and his face instantly became solemn.
