There were too many loopholes in Xue Lin’s words. None of them believed her.

Tan Rou said, “My uncle and brother have always been in charge of my family’s company. I won’t be involved in the work. It’s useless for you to beg me. If your project is good, just go and submit the project form. There’s no need to waste your time here.”

Seeing Tan Ron’s attitude soften, Xue Lin felt that she still had hope. She cried, “We also wanted to show the project to President Tao, but he said that we’ve offended you. He will never work with us again.”

Tan Rou didn’t know about this. If Tao Zhi really said that, then he was wrong. No matter what Xue Lin and the others did, work was work. It was not a joke. If Xue Lin’s project was good, the Tao family wouldn’t lose anything by cooperating with them.

“Did my big brother really say that?” Tan Rou didn’t quite believe it. “When did he say that?”

“The day you joined the research team.” Xue Lin said, “That night, Cheng Hu and 1 went to talk to President Tao about the project. However, President Tao knew that we had a misunderstanding with you. He directly rejected our project and said that he would not cooperate with us anymore.”

Tan Rou thought about it seriously for a while. “I’ll talk to my brother about your matter,” she said. “But whether or not this project can succeed depends on your own performance.”

Xue Lin wiped away her tears and hurriedly handed their information to Tan Rou.”Junior Tan Rou, this is our research result. You can show this to President Tao.”

Tan Rou took the documents and said, “Sure, I’ll pass this to Big Brother.”

Xue Lin was a little worried. She added, “Most of them here are confidential data from our research group. You can’t let anyone see them. You shouldn’t open them too just in case anything goes missing. If there are things that goes missing, President Tao may not be able to understand them.”

Tan Rou felt very uncomfortable after hearing Xue Lin’s words. She would never peek at other people’s information. Although Xue Lin’s request was reasonable, her words made her unhappy.

“Ha! You seem persistent. What did Cheng Hu promise you this time?” Shang Jin mocked.

“What does this have to do with you?” Xue Lin’s face darkened.

Shang Jin crossed his arms. “Rourou is kind enough to help you this time. If there’s a next time, she won’t help you even if you cry your heart out.”

Xue Lin gritted her teeth. “I’m not here to beg you. Why are you talking so much nonsense?”

Tan Rou didn’t want to hear them quarrel, so she said, “Leave the things with me. Senior Lin, if you don’t have anything else to do, then go back and do your experiments. We still have things to do so we won’t be inviting you in for tea.”

Xue Lin smiled, “Thank you, Junior Tan Rou. Can I treat you to a meal another day?”

Tan Rou didn’t say anything. She didn’t want to have dinner with Xue Lin. If Xue Lin really invited her to dinner, she would still refuse.

Xue Lin excitedly returned to her research team and shared the good news with Cheng Hu, showing off, “I told you I could handle Tan Rou. You didn’t believe me, but now you believe in my strength, right?”

Cheng Hu was very surprised. He didn’t think that a brainless lady like Xue Lin could really scold Tan Rou. “Really? Then did you give our information to Mr. Tao?”

“Didn’t you ask me to persuade Tan Rou?” Xue Lin said. “I’ve already given the information to Tan Rou. She promised me to give our information to President Tao.”

Hu Cheng didn’t have the confidence to hand over the information to Tao Zhi. He said angrily, “Is this how you work?! Why did you give the information to Tan Rou? Can’t you just give it to President Tao?”

Xue Lin wasn’t like the other students. Other students would only lower their heads and admit their mistakes after being scolded by Cheng Hu. But Xue Lin wasn’t afraid of Cheng Hu, especially after what Jiang Min and the others said. She was a rich lady, how could she let Cheng Hu manipulate her?

“Why are you shouting at me?” Xue Lin retorted, “At that time, you only asked me to convince Tan Rou. You didn’t ask me to give the information to Little President Tao. So this is your problem. Please don’t blame me for it.”

“You said you’d settle this matter. If you don’t, I’ll kick you out of our group,” Hu Cheng said..
