Almost every time Mu Xiaoyu returned to the old house, he was unhappy. Just like he had told Mu Xiaoyu before, he didn't have deep feelings for the Li family.
Compared to them, Mu Xiaoyu was naturally much more important. He didn't want to see Mu Xiaoyu return from the old house in such a depressed mood as she was today.
Sure enough, Mu Xiaoyu almost jumped for joy when she heard that she didn't have to go to the old house for the New Year.
She quickly grabbed Li Chenxu's hand, her face beaming with excitement, and said, "If we spend the New Year at home, we can do whatever we want, and there won't be so many rules! But... is that really okay? What will Father say?"
"Don't worry, he won't say anything."
Even if he told her, he wouldn't let Mu Xiaoyu know...
Mu Xiaoyu went to bed late the night before, and when she woke up the next morning, Li Chenxu had already gone to the company. Lin Zhu, who had been given a few days off by Li Chenxu, was finally back by his side.
Perhaps suspecting that Li Chenxu already knew something, Assistant Lin seemed a little more silent than before when he returned.
"Sir, the bidding project we previously collaborated on with the government has now been approved. Construction can begin after the New Year. Please check if there's anything amiss."
In the past, Li Chenxu would usually just glance at these things and then hand them over to Lin Zhu to handle himself.
But this time, he didn't. Hearing Lin Zhu's words, Li Chenxu silently took the relevant documents from Lin Zhu's hand and carefully looked through them.
This document contains a considerable amount of data, and it will take a long time to review it.
Previously, Li Chenxu would never have had the patience to look at these things, but now, his meticulous attention immediately caused Lin Zhu to break out in a cold sweat.
"Sir, is there a problem?"
"Why the rush? I haven't even finished reading it, what problems could I possibly find?"
Li Chenxu remained calm as ever, glancing at Lin Zhu indifferently as he spoke. Although he didn't seem angry at all, for some reason, Lin Zhu felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Li Chenxu's gaze.
Time ticked by, and Assistant Lin remained motionless in front of Li Chenxu's desk, quietly waiting for Li Chenxu to finish reading the document in his hand.
It was unclear how much time had passed before Li Chenxu finally closed the document in his hand.
With a thud, before Lin Zhu could even react, Li Chenxu threw the document heavily at him.
"This is the document you gave me? Lin Qing, how many years have you worked for me? And now you've even made such a basic mistake?"
Li Chenxu did not appear angry on the surface, but the coldness in his eyes sent a chill down Lin Zhu's spine.
His throat tightened, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Sir, what do you mean by that? Where did I go wrong?"
"Where? The project budget looks fine on the surface, but look at that page of the budget. Look at how many problems there are with the procurement of those items!"
Lin Zhu shuddered upon hearing this and quickly picked up the document. He flipped through the pages to find the project procurement section, and finally bowed his head to Li Chenxu to admit his mistake, saying, "Sir, I didn't notice. I'll take it and correct it right away!"
"Lin Qing, you are my most capable assistant. I have entrusted you with almost everything in the past. I have never seen you make such a basic mistake before. This time, I will not pursue the matter. However, if this happens a second time, you don't need to come anymore."
"gentlemen!"
Upon hearing Li Chenxu's words, Assistant Lin immediately looked up in a panic, his face filled with nervousness and unease.
He looked genuinely terrified that Li Chenxu would fire him.
Li Chenxu couldn't help but laugh, but his ambiguous smile made him look even more terrifying than usual.
"What's wrong? Why are you so nervous? Do you think you'll make the same mistake again?"
"No... not..."
The pressure from Li Chenxu was growing stronger and stronger. Faced with Li Chenxu like this, Lin Zhu had no strength to bear it at all, and cold sweat was pouring down his forehead as he lowered his head.
"Alright, you can go now. Take this document back and redo it. This is the last time. If the document you bring back next time still has any problems, don't blame me for not remembering the years you've been by my side."
Li Chenxu spoke again, and this time Assistant Lin felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He quickly nodded in agreement and then left the office.
The moment the office door closed, Li Chenxu's expression turned icy cold.
If it was just suspicion before, now Lin Zhu's reactions and actions all confirm that he has indeed betrayed Li Chenxu.
This bidding process involves cooperation with the government, and the benefits it brings are incomparable to ordinary collaborations. However, higher profits come with higher risks, and if any problems arise during this process, the losses will be far more than just money.
Previously, Li Chenxu trusted Assistant Lin, so he only glanced at most of the documents that Assistant Lin gave him, and in his memory, there were basically no problems.
But now that they had doubts about Assistant Lin, they naturally examined the documents much more carefully than before, and upon closer inspection, they found quite a few problems. On the surface, these seemed like minor issues, but it was precisely these small problems that, if overlooked, could eventually implicate the entire company.
If Li Chenxu hadn't looked carefully today, the whole company would have been finished.
The thought of that possible scenario made Li Chenxu sneer inwardly. His expression grew even colder. Since that was the case, then Lin Qing couldn't blame him for not considering their years of friendship…
Li Chenxu is always quick in his work, but now that Lin Zhu, his capable assistant, is gone, many tasks have become much more complicated than before. It took twice as long as before to arrange the preliminary work before the Lunar New Year.
It was also in the last two days before the holiday that Bai Ye found Li Chenxu.
Just like last time, to avoid attracting attention, Bai Ye brought Bai Luo with him when he came.
It's unclear what Bai Ye discovered, but his expression seemed much more somber when he arrived. After arriving at the villa, he left Bai Luo behind and went straight to the study with Li Chenxu.
Perhaps realizing the seriousness of the situation, Bai Luo and Mu Xiaoyu did not disturb them and stayed quietly downstairs.
"Sister Xiaoyu, do you know what happened? My brother hasn't been in a good mood these past few days, he hasn't smiled once."
