The President's Lover is a Fighter

Chapter 93 - The Stolen Proposal

Since Global China's headquarters was not based in Beijing, they had booked a conference room at the Sheraton where the presentations would be held. Rather than visiting each company that offered partnership, they invited the presenters in one grand location scheduling them at different times.

Andrea had already prepared her proposal a night before and all she needed to do was take them as they would head out from the office. Today, they were supposed to present two project proposals. One prepared by Mian and the other by Andrea.

Andrea noticed that the steel cabinet below Go Bolin's desk was a little out of place, but unfortunately, she did not take it seriously and just went to grab the folders inside. She was about to review the contents when Shen Mian called out, "I just got a call saying that the presenters before us had canceled which meant our schedule has been moved earlier. We need to leave now."

The truth was, Mian was already aware of the changes a day before and making them rush to the venue was part of her plan. Today she plans to prove that she is better than Andrea by stealing her proposal and presenting it as if it were her own. Lu Wei would be there during the meeting and Mian thought she could put on a good show shaming the woman who stole her man.

Arriving at the Sheraton Hotel, a secretary welcomed the representatives of Lu-Wei Enterprises. "Good morning ladies and gentlemen, president Pie is waiting for you inside the Majestic Hall, please follow me."

As always, Lu Fang walked beside Andrea with a hand on her waist and as they entered the room, Mr. Pie Wang was on the phone turning his back from the crowd. Before they could get a chance to greet Global China's CEO, one of the secretaries informed them to prepare their presentation while their president was on the phone.

Andrea was to start first, so she flipped through the folders only to find several pages missing! Seeing her reaction, Mian immediately asked her, "Is there a problem?"

"Several pages are missing in each folder. I was sure to prepare them yesterday."

Mian was surprised by how calm she was despite knowing her presentation was lacking. Regardless, she needed to stick to the plan leading her to probe, "Do you have the soft copy of your presentation? There is a business center just one floor down where you can have it printed. I can start with my proposal instead."

"Okay. Let me do that." She then turned to Lu Fang to let him know what happened before leaving.

The business center was exactly where Mian said it would be and just outside a well-built man in a hotel uniform was standing on watch. "Can I help you, miss?"

"Yes, I need to print a few copies of my document."

"Sure, let me help you! Give it here and I'll have it printed in no time. You may follow me." The hotel staff said as he walked further away from the business center.

Andrea wondered where he was headed and could not help but ask, "Isn't the printer inside?" She was pointing out to the room where the set computers were found.

"The printer is not working from there, Miss. We need to use the one at the back office. Please follow me."

Andrea did not suspect a thing and when they finally arrived at the room nearby, the man said, "After you, miss." As she stepped inside, she saw some computers, photocopy machines, and printers. She turned to give the man the flash drive when the door shut behind her.

"Hmmm… dammit, looks like I'm a trap." She placed both her hands to her waist and pursed her lips together. "Gotta hand it to you, Mian. You still managed to get me into this situation."

The man outside was holding on to the doorknob for dear life. He was expecting the woman to shout, bang at the door and forcefully kick or slam at the door open, but she was extremely quiet. After 15 minutes, he realized there was something wrong.

Inside, Andrea had pulled a chair and took out her phone to text the man. "Hey babe, Mian got me into a trap. Just play along with her presentation. I'll be up in a few minutes."

Lu Fang: "Okay. Love you, babe."

Andrea: "Love you, too. Kisses."

Another 15 minutes passed and the man outside the door was beginning to think that the woman inside might already be dead. He stood up and loosen the hold on the knob and waited another 5 minutes. Still, there was no reaction, no violence, and no screams whatsoever. So he finally decided to open the door.

"Four times of what Shen Mian had paid you, I will pay you back… Four times more." Andrea then smiled while she placed back her phone inside the pocket.

Inside the Majestic Hall, the first presentation of Lu-Wei Enterprises had just been completed. The executives of Global China were impressed. The same could be said by Lu Wei's approving grin. Shen Mian's smile was from ear to ear, proud of her stolen idea. She then looked at President Pie hoping to hear words of praises when a thundering sound was heard.

THUD!

President Pie slammed both his hands against the table, looked into Shen Mian and screamed, "Lu-Wei Enterprises! How dare you infiltrate on our project data! You are thieves!" He then turned to his assistant then instructed, "Call the police right this very moment!"

He turned to Lu-Wei and Lu Fang with disappointment and said, "I never expected this from the great Lu Wei and his son! What you have included in the presentation were private information that could only be known to shareholders of the company. How despicable of you to have resorted to theft!"

Lu Wei then turned to the presenter and questioned her, "Mian! Explain yourself! Is this how you had planned to realize the partnership?"

"No! I didn't! I'm sorry, Mr. Pie…"

"I did not do it! This is just a misunderstanding!"

Right at that very moment, the doors swung open and then came Andrea.

"It was her! She did it!" Shen Mian was pointing at Andrea while screaming at the top of her lungs. Her eyes were already filled with tears fearing the consequences of her actions.

Lu Fang stood from his seat and clarified, "What exactly did you mean, Mian?"

She was contemplating on telling the truth. Either way, she would be in trouble but putting the blame on Andrea is much better than going to prison. "Andrea made the proposal! I just stole them! I wanted to present and impress everyone so I stole her presentation!"

While the exchange of words was heating up between the Lus and Shen Mian, Mr. Pie Wang looked up to Andrea then smiled. "Andy, my child. This proposal was your doing?"

She then walked towards his direction and gave the old man a peck on the cheek before responding, "Yes uncle Pie, I made this to help my boyfriend."

Shen Mian,'Uncle Pie?'
