I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!
Chapter 599: Testing

Chapter 599: Chapter 599: Testing

"Where did you buy this from? What I want to tell you is that I sent this out, and you’ve actually bought it back. I want to know who exactly leaked my plan. It’s just too ridiculous that you were able to purchase it—maybe even fate doesn’t want to see the plan I’ve worked so hard on get stolen by others. So, it ended up in your hands by some strange twist of luck.

Let’s find this person first. I really want to see who’s bold enough to do such a thing right under everyone’s noses. I’m going to make them pay, and I’m not going to let them off easy. This is going to be quite an interesting challenge. Alright, go and get this sorted out."

After saying this, he let Wang Xiaocong leave. Wang Xiaocong felt utterly confused, not expecting at all to become unwittingly involved in this matter. He felt a bit guilty but quickly collected himself. It wasn’t his doing, so there was nothing to feel guilty about. Just as he was about to leave, suddenly he heard his cell phone ring.

Someone was calling him—at this time, why would Zhang Tao call him? Could it be that the company had already discovered there was a traitor and he was now calling to discuss countermeasures?

It struck Shen Dong that the man was quite vigilant. He immediately answered the call. Wang Xiaocong didn’t know whether he should stay or leave, but when Shen Dong noticed this blockhead trying to leave, he quickly gestured for him to stay and listen. He wanted to see what this was all about.

Shen Dong wanted Wang Xiaocong to judge whether this was the person who sold him the plan. Although he trusted Zhang Tao, it wouldn’t hurt to rule him out. Better safe than sorry—in case it was him.

When Wang Xiaocong saw his boss signal him to stay, he finally decided to do so and just sat down quietly to listen to the other side of the conversation. Shen Dong picked up the call and directly turned on the speakerphone, not mentioning anything about the document he had just received.

He greeted Zhang Tao very politely. Zhang Tao on the other end had hesitated a long time before deciding to make the call.

"Oh, Mr. Shen, there’s something I need to talk to you about. We’ve run into a super tricky problem here that we need to solve immediately. If we don’t get it sorted, I think it’s going to cause problems down the line," Zhang Tao said, waiting for a response from the other end of the line. Shen Dong, looking very sure of himself, nodded and then said, "Alright, tell me what the issue is. If I can help, I definitely will." He showed no sign of anything being out of the ordinary.

He even gave Wang Xiaocong a look, asking him to assess whether the person on the phone was the same one he dealt with. Upon hearing this voice, Wang Xiaocong could immediately tell that this person wasn’t the one he conducted the transaction with, because the person he traded with was clearly a woman, who was very hesitant and not at all decisive.

In addition, she agreed right away when he threatened her a few times—this indicated that she wasn’t accustomed to big scenes. That’s why he dared to bring the document to Shen Dong’s desk. If the other person were tougher or harder to handle, he would not have dared to do it.

This man, whom he had never met but could tell from his tone was a powerful person, likely someone who had control over the bigger picture, was not the kind who would easily disclose anything, let alone sell the plan. Such a person would probably choose to start their own business.

But piecing together what was just said, it should be clear— the plan belonged to the man on the phone, and it was his employee who sold the document to him. Oh my god, he really spent money frivolously, getting caught up in this mess. He also had to find that person and get his money back; he couldn’t afford to waste it.

All these ideas were his boss’s brainchildren—why did he buy them? He was supposed to make money, not spend so much. Fortunately, he wasn’t extorted in the end. He’ll talk to his boss about it after the call; bringing it up now would be out of order. He still had to see what his boss had to say.

"The infrastructure we built before just doesn’t work. We have to start over because the cache is just too high. We can install the basic setup without the beautification, but if we want to add that, we have to dismantle it. I was just thinking, if we take it all apart, it’s probably going to delay the launch.

I was wondering if you have any talents who could come and help. Without a leader, the team is a bit scattered and unsure where to start. If we had an expert to guide them, they could slowly make their way up the ladder. While everyone’s quite skilled, they still need direction.

If it’s too hard for them to climb without guidance, then we might just have to go out and recruit someone else." Zhang Tao said all this very calmly. At first, he wasn’t sure how to put it, but after organizing his thoughts, he explained everything to Shen Dong, who, after listening, thought it didn’t sound like a problem. Sending someone to help would certainly be possible—they weren’t guarding against them or anything.

If there was a profit to be made, then everyone should work on it together. So after thinking for a moment and realizing he didn’t have the necessary talents at hand, Shen Dong decided to rely on Wang Xiaocong to scout someone. After collaborating so many times, Wang Xiaocong understood what his boss’s look meant: go and find someone. Fine then.

After this matter was cleared up, he’d start searching. Shen Dong then conveyed his thoughts, and Zhang Tao breathed a sigh of relief. Actually, Zhang Tao also didn’t know where to find good people—the current team was left over from before and was relatively capable.

Now that the key person was gone, it threw everything into chaos, which was something Zhang Tao didn’t want to see. Now that the issue was resolved, there was nothing else to be said. He planned to exchange a few pleasantries and then hang up. "Alright, then. I’ll leave this matter in your hands, Mr. Shen."
