Chapter 109: Be My Concubine!

  "What happened afterwards? Why wasn't the X Plan, which was almost complete, finished?" Wu Tian asked Zhuo Wenjun. Although he appeared very calm on the surface, his heart was already surging with turbulent waves, eager to know the reason. After all, it was only one side of the story from Zhuo Wenjun, and he couldn't fully believe what she said either. He still had many questions that needed answers from her.

  Later, due to Wan Qing's decline and financial problems, the plan was forced to be suspended. Professor Huo Zhenlin had found Wan Gongzi, who was then the general manager, several times, even going to prison to take advantage of the opportunity to visit Chairman Wan, to request that the experiment be continued, but it all came to nothing. In a fit of anxiety, Professor Huo fell seriously ill and was hospitalized. When he left the hospital, Wan Qing had already been reduced to a mere shell...! After finishing speaking, Zhuo Wenjun's face revealed an expression of regret.

  "You came here just to look for experimental records, right?" Wu Tian asked.

  "Yes." Zhuo Wenjun nodded. At this point, it was pointless to deny being caught red-handed.

  "Professor Huo Zhenlin died a year ago, what have you been doing in this past year? Why did you only think of taking action now?" Wu Tianmu stared at Zhuo Wenjun without blinking, not hiding his suspicion towards her one bit. He wanted the other party to know who was really in charge now! So when he asked the question, his tone was stern and even had a hint of interrogation.

  "That's because the X plan was too secretive, and very few people knew about it. Moreover, except for Old Huo, several other main persons in charge also passed away one after another in these years. The remaining researchers who participated in the X plan also kept their mouths shut. Our Donghua spent a lot of effort on them, but only got some intelligence, but they didn't know the specific details and key parts of the plan either."

  Zhuo Wenjun didn't mind Wu Tian's tone, or rather, she was very clear about the meaning of the phrase "when under someone else's roof, one must lower their head". She continued, "As for why we're taking action now, it's because many people are paying attention to the Wanjing Building, and there are many forces inside. I'm afraid that if we act rashly, we'll become the target of public criticism, so I've been hesitant to take action all along. Now that you've bought the Wanjing Building, those who have been watching from the shadows for a long time know it's difficult to do anything, and Wenjun thought she could take this opportunity to come in and investigate, but everything has escaped Mr. Wu's eyes."

  "Finished?" Wu Tian asked.

  "En!" Zhuo Wenjun nodded.

  Wu Tian smiled and slowly looked at Zhuo Wenjun, saying, "Miss Zhuo, now that things have come to this point, do you still want to hide from me? Why did you ask me to join Donghua in the first place, don't you want to say?"

  Zhuo Wenjun slightly paused, then let out a sigh and looked at Wu Tian with a bitter smile. "Mr. Wu, it seems we can't hide anything from you after all. To be honest, after learning about the X Plan, our R&D department at Donghua secretly formed a research team consisting of experts in cancer research." Zhuo Wenjun paused for a moment, seemingly hesitant to continue speaking, but when she saw Wu Tian's piercing gaze, she reluctantly went on. "Later, we coincidentally discovered that Shengtian Pharmaceutical had an A Project, also researching cancer cells and attempting to find new compound entities. When we learned that the person in charge of the A Project was Mr. Wu, we began investigating you. Due to your background, we hesitated to contact you. After receiving news that Mr. Wu resigned from Shengtian, I took the initiative to invite you, hoping you could join us at Donghua and collaborate on our research for the X Plan. Who would have thought that the mastermind behind buying out Wanqing was also Mr. Wu? It's truly a twist of fate."

  What a thoughtful woman! Wu Tian sighed in his heart. Zhuo Wenjun was quite frank and said everything she should say. In fact, when Wu Tian learned about the content of Project X, he had already vaguely felt that Zhuo Wenjun's invitation for him to join Donghua University had another purpose. As expected, while investigating the whereabouts of the experimental records, she also invited various experts to prepare for Project X. And as someone with consistent project content, he naturally became one of Zhuo Wenjun's invitees.

  Wu Tian was very angry, but he wasn't mad at Zhuo Wenjun for playing these tricks on him. Instead, he was furious with someone on the other side, who had leaked the content of his A project. This person must be from the R&D department, but definitely not a member of his team. It's simple: people outside the R&D department don't know what the A project represents. And his team members knew too much, Zhuo Wenjun hadn't pestered him to death, precisely because she didn't understand the progress of his project, only knowing what the A project represented.

  "I didn't expect Miss Zhuo to have eyes and ears in Shengtian, impressive! Impressive!" Wu Tian said to Zhuo Wenjun, his heart involuntarily worrying about Chen Chen. That woman, not even having figured out the internal situation of Shengtian, only knew how to develop the market externally, but ignored too many things, no wonder Zhuo Wenjun didn't consider her a rival. Seeing Zhuo Wenjun was about to deny it, Wu Tian waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm not with Shengtian anymore, won't say more."

  Upon hearing Wu Tian's words, Zhuo Wenjun nodded and said, "Know yourself and know your enemy, then you can win every battle." With a suspicious gaze, Zhuo Wenjun looked at Wu Tian and asked, "Mr. Wu, did you already know about this X plan?"

  "Heh heh, what do you think?" Wu Tian Rang looked at Zhuo Wen Jun with a profound gaze, putting on an air of mystery, making it impossible for Zhuo Wen Jun to discern his true intentions.

  A knowing glance, a hint of understanding, and yet it's unclear how many people have been harmed. Wu Tian also wants to pretend to be mysterious for once. If he hadn't been immune to the confusion, if he hadn't remained vigilant, perhaps the situation would be reversed by now - he would have become the plaything in Zhuo Wenjun's hands. However, this is only natural. The law of the jungle dictates that the weak are preyed upon by the strong. This is a manifestation of strength, where winners and losers are determined by their abilities. If you have a move, use it; if not, then concede defeat. It has nothing to do with being despicable. Win, and you play others. Lose, and you're played. That's all there is to it.

  Wu Tian doesn't like being played with, so he can only go play with others. When it comes to playing with people's feelings, Wu Tian thinks he is absolutely no worse than Zhuo Wenjun.

  Zhuo Wenjun opened her mouth, but still didn't make a sound. She couldn't tell which of the other person's words were true and which were false. Her intuition had failed for the first time.

  "What's Miss Zhuo planning to do next?" Wu Tian asked, seeing that Zhuo Wenjun wasn't speaking up. Things having come to this point, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing. Or rather, he also wanted to get in on the action.

  Zhuo Wenjun gazed at Wu Tian's face for a while, hoping to discern something from the man's expression. However, Wu Tian's poker face made it impossible for her to grasp any emotions, and she had no idea what he was thinking. Zhuo Wenjun let out a sigh in her heart, then puffed out her chest, lifted her head, and said seriously to Wu Tian, "Wenjun wants to cooperate with Mr. Wu."

  "Cooperation? What cooperation?" Wu Tian asked indifferently.

  "Miss Wen hopes to form an alliance with Mr. Wu, jointly searching for all information related to the X Plan," said Zhuo Wenjun, "We can set up a joint R&D team to continue the X Plan. Mr. Wu can be in charge, Donghua will take care of production, and we'll split it 50/50. What do you think?"

  "It sounds very tempting." Wu Tian said after hearing, then smiled and looked at Zhuo Wenjun, asking, "But why should I cooperate with you? Do you think I don't have such strength?"

  "Miss Wen is willing to hand over all the intelligence she has grasped so far to Mr. Wu," said Zhuo Wenjun.

  Wu Tian smiled and stretched out his right index finger, waving it in front of the other person, saying, "So far, you haven't gained anything, so to me, your intelligence is worthless."

  "Mr. Wu has a wide range of connections, and it's easy for him to find out what he wants," said Zhuo Wenjun calmly. "However, Professor Huo Zhenlin's diary contains many records and insights about the X Plan. And this diary just happens to be in my possession."

  "Something so important, left in the hands of a woman like you, is too insecure. Why not hand it over to me for safekeeping, how about that?" Wu Tian said with a benevolent smile, looking just like a wolf in sheep's clothing as he spoke to Zhuo Wenjun.

  "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Wu. But please rest assured, Mr. Wu, that apart from Wen Jun, no one else knows where that diary is kept." Zhuo Wenjun said.

  "So Miss Zhuo doesn't plan on handing over her diary after all?"

  "Mr. Wu is a magnanimous person and will certainly not quarrel with Wenjun over such a trivial matter, right?"

  "I have a better proposal," Wu Tian said, his eyes gleaming with desire as he looked at Zhuo Wenjun. "Why don't you become my concubine? I'll give you a share of the profits, how about it?" His appetite was enormous, not only did he want her diary, but also wanted to take over her company and have her as his own.

  "Mr. Wu laughed and said that Wenjun knew she was plain-looking, how could she be worthy of Mr. Wu?" Zuo Wenjun smiled in response.

  "Are you refusing me?"

  "What does Mr. Wu think?"

  "It seems I've lost my love." Wu Tian put on a sorrowful and regretful expression. Seeing that Zhuo Wenjun was unwilling to hand over her diary, nor herself, Wu Tian leaned back and said, "In that case, let's just rely on our own abilities then. Hopefully someday in the future, you won't regret it."

  "Alright." Zhuo Wenjun replied. Let her unconditionally hand over Huo Zhenlin's diary, she would never do such a foolish thing. Hand over herself? Even more impossible.

  "It seems Miss Zhuo is quite confident," Wu Tian said with a smile, "However, Miss Zhuo should be careful, next time you enter the Tianzheng Building, I think you and your people won't receive this kind of treatment."

  "Remember that," said Zhuo Wenjun, standing up and slightly bowing to Wu Tian, "I've disturbed you late at night, please forgive me, I'll take my leave."

  Wu Tian nodded and suddenly stretched out his palm towards Zhuo Wenjun, asking "Do you see it?"

  Zhuo Wenjun looked at Wu Tian's palm with a hint of confusion, unable to understand why he had suddenly made this move. "What do you see?"

  "There is writing on top."

  "What character?"

  "Zhuo Wenjun, come and have a look around!"

  “……！”
