Chapter 43: The Ideal Man in Her Heart:
With just a few words, Yun Biao not only accused Yun Bufan of fraud, but also presented himself as heartbroken and solely concerned for the company.
Others followed suit, criticizing Yun Bufan and deeming him unreliable. The cooperating companies were particularly dissatisfied.
"How can such a person be in charge of this project? You better replace him quickly!" They demanded.
Yun Biao feigned helplessness. "Bufan, it's not that Second Uncle doesn't want to help you, but you let us all down. I think you should take a break and let others handle these projects. I'm doing this for the company's sake, not against you personally..."
Yun Biao prattled on while Yun Bufan nonchalantly cleaned his ear.
"Second Uncle, are you done?" Yun Bufan asked. "May I say something?"
Yun Bufan walked over to the materials and tore open the packaging. "Take a good look; these are Grade A materials. As for the Grade B packaging, the supplier explained there was a packaging shortage and informed us in advance. If you don't believe me, feel free to inspect them."
The cooperating companies immediately sent people to check. After a thorough inspection, the professionals confirmed, "That's correct. These are indeed Grade A materials and of the highest quality. It seems the Yun family has shown great sincerity this time!"
With the misunderstanding cleared up, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"CEO Yun, sorry for the misunderstanding earlier!" The executives also apologized to Yun Bufan.
Yun Biao's face looked like he had swallowed a bitter pill.
Yun Bufan smiled pleasantly. "Second Uncle, sorry for not notifying you earlier. But since you're always thinking of the company, you must be glad there was no issue with the materials. Why do you look so upset? Are you feeling unwell? Should I call an ambulance?"
Yun Biao's teeth gnashed audibly, but he had to force a smile. "Second Uncle is pleased!"
Then he turned and left in a huff.
"You played this well," said Shen Qingxin, who had been silent until now.
"You figured it out?" Yun Bufan asked.
Shen Qingxin's clear eyes sparkled. "Yes, it was obvious that Yun Biao wanted to set you up, but you turned the tables by switching the materials in advance."
"Smart wife," Yun Bufan couldn't help but pinch her delicate nose.
Shen Qingxin giggled and clung to his arm. She had to admit, this man was becoming more and more like her ideal man.
Their intimate scene was caught by Su Chen, who muttered angrily, "Damn it! Zhen Xiaoxiao, what are you doing?"
Zhen Xiaoxiao looked aggrieved. "I did exactly what you said!"
Yun Biao's expression darkened. "There must be a mole in the company. I will find out who it is! Whoever betrayed me will pay dearly!"
At that moment, Su Chen received a phone call. "Senior Sister, you're back!"
Qin Bing's icy voice replied, "How is your plan going?"
"Don't even mention it! Senior Sister, the person you sent, Zhen Xiaoxiao, failed! The plan failed!"
Su Chen blamed everything on Zhen Xiaoxiao.
"Have Zhen Xiaoxiao bring Yun Bufan out. I will warn him," Qin Bing ordered before hanging up.
Su Chen was elated. His Senior Sister, the leader of the Assassin Alliance, was formidable. She would surely make Yun Bufan back down, and ideally, break up with Shen Qingxin. Thinking of Shen Qingxin's stunning face and perfect figure, Su Chen drooled.
Zhen Xiaoxiao was filled with resentment and glared at Su Chen. This man blamed her for everything, and her opinion of him plummeted. Compared to Yun Bufan, Su Chen was garbage. No, both men were trash!
Yun Bufan returned to the company and immediately held a meeting.
"Everyone, the smooth start of the bridge project is thanks to your hard work—especially Second Uncle, who has been dedicated and diligent. Your efforts have allowed me to manage the company smoothly. Thank you all!"
Yun Bufan's seemingly sincere words were daggers to Yun Biao's ears. He couldn't say anything and had to swallow his resentment. But Yun Bufan's following words made him snap.
"By the way, there's one more thing. Acting Manager Dai did an excellent job with the procurement this time. Thanks to her efforts, the procurement was completed perfectly. The company will reward her. It seems we still have a vacant vice-president position. For now, you will be the acting vice president."
Yun Bufan looked at Dai Yuan, who was sitting nearby. Dai Yuan, overwhelmed with joy, immediately stood up and thanked him.
"Thank you, CEO Yun, for your trust!" She walked over to Yun Bufan, bowing deeply and provocatively adjusting her collar, revealing more than necessary. "CEO Yun, you've worked the hardest. Please sit down."
Dai Yuan wiggled a bit, her black stockings drawing everyone's attention. The senior executives couldn't help but swallow hard.
"Alright, you can return to your seat," Yun Bufan waved her off.
Feeling triumphant, Dai Yuan returned to her seat next to Shen Qingxin. Shen Qingxin's face was cold as they exchanged a glare.
"Well, I didn't expect you to value Acting Manager Dai so much. Truly surprising!" Yun Biao's face turned green with anger. He couldn't understand how his woman ended up on Yun Bufan's side.
"But Bufan, don't forget the agreement you made with Shen Qingxin. If the subsidiary doesn't earn 10 million yuan in profit in six months, you both will have to leave the company. Don't blame me for being heartless then!"
Yun Biao angrily slammed the table and stormed out of the meeting room.
After the meeting, Yun Bufan returned to his office.
"CEO Yun, don't mind that old man Yun Biao. I believe in you. People say the waves behind push the waves in front; you'll surely beat him," Dai Yuan said, swaying her hips as she entered with a cup of tea. "CEO Yun, you've worked hard. Have some tea."
Just as she was about to hand it to him, she added, "Is it too hot? Let me cool it for you."
Suddenly, a slender hand snatched the cup away.
"Vice-President Dai, you don't need to worry about such things. After all, I'm his wife, and it's better if I do it," Shen Qingxin said with a smile, blowing on the tea and handing it to Yun Bufan.
