Unless she could become a part of the Jun family.

There’s only one way to do it, and that’s to snatch her away from Ye Lu’s grip.

...

The final round of bidding was taken most seriously by all participating companies, sparking numerous business discussions. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

ZA Company, which was particularly hopeful, even held late-night meetings for strategic discussions.

"In the final round, our company has a strong chance of winning the bid given our strength, but victory is not guaranteed. There are two or three companies that are also very strong competitors, including a certain company which is our biggest threat." The General Manager in charge of the project hinted heavily.

The other members scoffed, "Humph, does that certain company really think they can win the bid with ’bedroom techniques’?"

"Unwritten rules exist in every industry, don’t underestimate them."

Bai Sijia didn’t look so good, "I trust that king isn’t the sort to mix personal with business, and besides, that woman doesn’t have the capability to make him risk billions of dollars to please her."

The manager responded, "Until the very last moment, anything can happen. Let’s not mention her relationship with President Jun for now. FSA Company is indeed powerful, and although we are a foreign company that only recently entered the domestic market, they have a deeper understanding of the domestic market due to their earlier entry. What’s more, that woman recently published a paper that’s beneficial to their product. I suspect they will use this as a selling point to gain more attention from Tian Kun."

"What paper?" Bai Sijia was surprised.

The manager handed her a magazine.

After reading carefully, Bai Sijia frowned, "Manager, do you have any more information on this woman? I want to understand our opponent better."

As their competitor, ZA Company of course had relevant information on the personnel from the other party, which they immediately handed over to her.

Bai Sijia looked carefully at the file, her face changed when she saw a photo of Ye Lu with two children. The little girl in the picture was the one she had met at President Jun’s.

Going back to the various subtle actions of Jun Huang towards this woman, she felt less confident. This woman’s relationship with Jun Huang was closer and more complicated than she had originally assumed.

They had a history together, she felt a sour feeling in her heart. Jun Huang had been with Ye Lu, hadn’t he?

She had underestimated her opponent, she thought Ye Lu was just an ordinary woman, but Ye Lu turned out to be very cunning. Ye Lu had even used her daughter to curry favor with Jun Huang, posing as Jun Huang’s daughter.

"Manager, I’d like to take this magazine home." Bai Sijia hurriedly left.

Once home, she found the paper that Ye Lu had published, copied down the data, because she felt the linear fluctuations in the data seemed familiar.

She hastily turned the data into graphs and posted them on an international academic forum. Soon, somebody commented that they were similar to the data of a plant-tissue-culture reagent experiment published by a certain Dr. XX half a year ago.

"Ye Lu, is this a coincidence, or is it plagiarism?"

Her face showed a sardonic smile. She thought the chances of it being a coincidence were slim, it must be plagiarism. There were often cases of paper plagiarism exposed domestically.

"Academia is serious business. If it’s found to be plagiarism, the consequences would be unimaginable. You’d be utterly disgraced. Ye Lu, you really have guts, shameless woman!"

But she also wasn’t planning on alerting her opponent just yet, not until she had proof it was true.
