Chapter 503: Zuo Xianyu Is Completely Done, the Real Business Genius (1)

The project was indeed challenging, which is why he had opened it up for bids, welcoming talents from all quarters.

As long as a qualified proposal was presented, it didn’t matter who it came from.

Otherwise, the Zuo family wouldn’t even qualify to collaborate with the Lin family.

Recently, Lin Bojian had been plagued with headaches over the project. Regrettably, his only son, Lin Qingchen, lacked business acumen and couldn’t take over his mantle.

He was more than happy to send Lin Qingchen abroad for further studies since a career in medicine was also promising, but he couldn’t just abandon the Lin family’s traditional business.

Lin Bojian had worried so much about this that he had lost quite a bit of hair.

The Zuo family wasn’t the only competitor for the project in Sijiu City. The LI family and the Lu family were also in the fray.

It wasn’t until a week ago that Lin Bojian received an email from Lin Qingchen containing a flawless proposal.

He learned that it was written by a friend of Lin Qingchen who had heard about the Lin family’s predicament and decided to help.

With such a perfect proposal in hand, Lin Bojian approached today’s meeting with the Zuo Corporation with a casual attitude, never expecting to witness a plagiarist brazenly stealing.

Upon his accusation, not only Zuo Xianyu but also Elder Feng and other shareholders from both the Zuo and Lin families were stunned.

“It’s imDossible!” Zuo Xianvu’s hand trembled, but she firmlv denied, “I wrote it myself, though I might have consulted others during the process. The polishing and proofreading were all done by me alone.”

Elder Feng also chimed in hastily, “Exactly, Chairman Lin, Xianyu is a business genius. It must be someone else who stole her idea.”

“Fine, still denying it at this point,” Lin Bojian nodded coldly. “Here, then take a look at the timestamp of this email!”

He had his secretary project the inbox page onto the big screen.

The email, received on August 2nd at 7:43 PM, contained the proposal, identical to the one Zuo Xianyu had submitted, without a single discrepancy.

“Take a good look!” Lin Bojian slammed the table. “You wrote this?”

This time, Zuo Xianyu completely lost her composure, “This can’t be!” Elder Feng had given her the project materials after August 2nd.

It took another day before she passed it to the deputy manager.

And the proposal was written by a temp worker of the Zuo family. How could Lin Bojian have received an identical proposal so early?

Yet, the timestamp didn’t lie.

In front of this email, Zuo Xianyu’s claims of “repeated polishing” and “overnight revisions” turned into a joke.

Under the scrutiny of many, Zuo Xianyu’s ears buzzed, and her vision darkened in waves.

She knew she didn’t have the capability to complete a proposal on her own, but she never expected to be exposed like this.

Whats going on?!

“Not written by you, but stolen?” Elder Feng was incredulous. “But this proposal is in your style. It wasn’t written by you?!”

Over the years, Zuo Xianyu had been responsible for the Zuo Corporation’s major projects, and Elder Feng was well aware of her style.

So, when Zuo Xianyu submitted this proposal, he didn’t suspect it was ghostwritten but was rather impressed by her significant improvement.

To think it was actually her stealing someone else’s idea?

And to steal the proposal written by Lin Qingchen’s friend?

That was practically sabotaging his own and the Zuo familys future prospects.

“Foolish!” Elder Feng, unable to contain his anger, stepped forward and slapped Zuo Xianyu hard across the face, “You’re completely foolish!”

Zuo Xianyu’s head was slapped to the side, leaving a clear imprint on her right cheek.

But she didn’t react, standing there dazed and dispirited.

“So, you’re saying this has always been her style?” Lin Bojian suddenly spoke again. “Does that mean, aside from this proposal, the previous projects by the Zuo family were also stolen?”

Zuo Xianyu’s complexion turned paler as she hurriedly looked up, “I, I didn’t, I haven’t…”

But she had no strong evidence to argue her case.

Only then did Zuo Xianyu realize that she had always had an easy time writing proposals.

It was as if the ideas were being fed directly into her mind, requiring no thought on her part.

But how could a talent vanish into thin air?

Where did her business acumen go?

“It seems your title as a business prodigy was also stolen, and you haven’t shown any remorse!” Lin Bojian’s eyes were sharp, detecting Zuo Xianyu’s panic.. He scoffed heavily, “1 gave you so many chances to admit it was not your solo work, yet you remained defiant!”
