Chapter 214 Protecting the Company's Interests
The light of crystal chandeliers was shining, people were well-dressed, and glasses were clinking. To celebrate the successful elimination of the spy threat, the Gu Group held a grand celebration banquet in one of its five-star hotels.
Men and women in gorgeous clothes walked around, chatting and laughing, looking very happy. Su Li, holding Gu Jinyan's arm, was wearing a champagne-colored dress, looking elegant and generous, with a gentle smile on her face, greeting the guests.
"Mr. Gu, Ms. Su, congratulations!" The security director came over with a bottle of champagne, his face filled with joy. "Thanks to you, we were able to find the traitor in time and resolve the crisis."
"This is the result of everyone's joint efforts." Gu Jinyan raised his glass and gently clinked it with his. His deep eyes swept across the banquet hall, and he said calmly, "By the way, is R&D Personnel A here today?"
The security director was stunned for a moment, then reacted and lowered his voice and said, "He's here, sitting in the corner over there. Ever since the last incident was exposed, he has been hiding from people and doesn't talk much..."
Gu Jinyan nodded slightly and looked in the direction of his gaze. Sure enough, he saw R&D Staff A sitting alone in the corner, holding a wine glass with a lonely look on his face.
A small stage was temporarily built in the center of the banquet hall. The host's enthusiastic voice sounded, announcing the official start of the celebration banquet. Amid warm applause, Gu Jinyan and Su Li walked onto the stage hand in hand.
"Thank you all for coming. Tonight is a day worth remembering for our Gu Group..." Gu Jinyan took the microphone, and his steady voice echoed in the banquet hall. "During this period, we have experienced unprecedented challenges, but we united as one and finally overcame the difficulties."
He turned to look at Su Li, his eyes full of tenderness: "I want to especially thank my wife, Su Li. It was with her extraordinary wisdom and courage that she helped us see through the enemy's conspiracy and safeguard the interests of the company."
Su Li took the microphone with a shy smile on her face: "I just did what I should do. All this is inseparable from the joint efforts of everyone. I believe that as long as we are united, no difficulties can stop us from moving forward!"
The audience applauded for a long time. Su Li looked at the faces filled with joy and hope, and was moved. This celebration banquet was not only to celebrate the victory, but also to unite people and lay a more solid foundation for the future development of the company.
At this moment, R&D Staff A, who had been silent in the corner, suddenly stood up, holding a wine glass, and walked towards the stage...
R&D staff member A staggered to the bottom of the stage. The light shone on his face, reflecting guilt and regret. He raised his glass and said loudly: "Mr. Gu, Ms. Su, I'm sorry! I'm deeply sorry for what I did before!"
His voice was particularly abrupt in the noisy banquet hall. The guests who were originally chatting and laughing fell silent and looked at him in confusion. Gu Jinyan and Su Li were also a little surprised. They stopped talking and turned their eyes to the bottom of the stage.
"I was bewildered and blinded by profit, and did something that was unfair to the company and you..." R&D Staff A's voice choked. He took a deep breath and tried hard to hold back tears. "I know I was wrong. I am willing to accept any punishment from the company, and I hope to make up for my mistakes with my actual actions."
His words were sincere and earnest, and many people were moved. Su Li looked at the man in front of him who had made a mistake before but now bravely stood up to admit his mistake, and felt mixed emotions.
Gu Jinyan's face was calm. He took the glass of champagne handed to him by the waiter, walked up to R&D Personnel A, and gently clinked glasses with him: "It is a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. I believe you will prove yourself with practical actions."
R&D Staff A looked at Gu Jinyan gratefully, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass. Then, he bowed deeply to Su Li, turned around and walked off the stage.
In order to ease the atmosphere, the host quickly led the topic to other aspects. The security expert and the security director also received special recognition from the company for their outstanding performance in this incident. They walked onto the stage and accepted congratulations from the company and colleagues.
"Lao Li, Lao Wang, thanks to you, we were able to solve the problem so quickly this time." Gu Jinyan patted their shoulders, his tone full of gratitude.
"This is what we should do," the security director said with a smile. "It is our unshirkable responsibility to protect the company's security."
The banquet continued, and the atmosphere gradually returned to its previous enthusiasm. Su Li looked at the scenes in front of him, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart. After the storm, the rainbow is more gorgeous. This celebration banquet is not only a summary of the past, but also a look forward to the future.
Gu Jinyan gently held Su Li's hand, stared at her with deep eyes, and opened his thin lips: "Su Li..."
"Su Li..." Gu Jinyan's voice was low and gentle, with a barely perceptible tremor. Su Li's heartbeat quickened slightly, and she raised her head to meet his deep gaze.
"What's wrong?" Su Li asked softly. The noise in the banquet hall seemed to be blocked by a veil. Only he and she reflected the truest emotions in each other's eyes.
"Thank you for this time." Gu Jinyan took a deep breath and tightened his grip on Su Li's hand unconsciously, "Thank you for always being with me. Thank you for your understanding and support." His eyes were affectionate, as if he wanted to suck Su Li in.
Su Li's cheeks flushed slightly. She wanted to say something but was interrupted by Gu Jinyan's next words.
"I know that I did a lot of things wrongly in the past, and I made you suffer a lot." Gu Jinyan's tone was filled with a hint of guilt, "But I want to tell you that my feelings for you have always been true."
His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by Su Li and some of the guests around. Everyone cast curious glances at them, but they were all forced back by Gu Jinyan's sharp eyes.
"Su Li, I love you." Gu Jinyan gazed at Su Li affectionately and said word by word. His voice was firm and powerful, as if he was declaring some important oath.
Su Li's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She had never thought that Gu Jinyan would confess his love to her in front of so many people on such an occasion. Her eyes were slightly moist, and she felt an indescribable emotion in her heart.
"I..." Su Li opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she didn't know what to say. Thousands of words finally turned into a happy smile.
Gu Jinyan gently held her in his arms. His embrace was warm and strong, as if it could shield her from all the wind and rain. Su Li leaned her head on his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, her heart filled with happiness and sweetness.
There was a warm applause in the banquet hall, and everyone cast their blessing eyes towards them. In a joyful and peaceful atmosphere, the celebration banquet ended successfully. Gu's company ushered in new development opportunities, and the love between Su Li and Gu Jinyan was as gorgeous as a rainbow after the rain.
When leaving the banquet hall, Gu Jinyan held Su Li's hand tightly. His palm was warm and dry, as if it could dispel all her anxiety and fear. Su Li looked up at him. The moonlight sprinkled on his profile, outlining his sharp outlines, making her want to get closer...
"Su Li," Gu Jinyan stopped and looked down at her, with a gentle light in his eyes, "We..."
"We..." Gu Jinyan paused, his deep eyes reflecting Su Li's beautiful face, the moonlight pouring down like silver yarn, coating the two of them with a layer of blurred halo. "Let's go home." He said gently, holding Su Li's hand, and walked towards the black car parked on the side of the road.
The lights in the Gu family villa were on, as if waiting for the owner's return. Su Li snuggled in Gu Jinyan's arms, feeling his body temperature, her heart at peace. Gu Jinyan gently stroked her hair, his eyes full of pampering.
"Su Li," he called her name softly, his voice low and magnetic, "Thank you, thank you for everything you have done for me."
Su Li raised her head and looked into his deep eyes, with a sweet smile on her lips. "Me too, Jin Yan, thank you for always being by my side."
The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
That night, Gu Jinyan and Su Li both slept soundly, as if all their troubles had vanished. However, beneath the calm surface, there was an undercurrent.
The next morning, Gu Jinyan received a call from a security expert and learned that confidential files of the R&D department had shown signs of being leaked again.
"I have already identified several suspects," the security expert said solemnly, "including R&D Personnel A. His recent behavior is very abnormal."
Gu Jinyan frowned. He personally promoted R&D Personnel A, whose ability and loyalty were beyond doubt. How could he suddenly leak confidential documents? "Continue the investigation and make sure to find out who is behind this." His tone was cold, revealing unquestionable majesty.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Jinyan immediately summoned the security director and Su Li and told them the whole story.
"The confidential documents leaked this time are related to our company's development strategy for the next few years," Gu Jinyan said in a deep voice, "If they fall into the hands of competitors, the consequences will be disastrous."
Su Li's face was also filled with worry. She knew the seriousness of this incident and the pressure on Gu Jinyan's shoulders. "Jinyan, what should we do?"
"I have contacted security experts," Gu Jinyan held Su Li's hand, a gleam in his eyes, "We must find the leaker as soon as possible and bring him to justice."
After the security experts arrived, the three immediately discussed countermeasures. After some discussion, they decided to develop a trap plan to lure the spy leader to a specific location and then catch him in one fell swoop.
"I have prepared a special USB flash drive," the security expert took out a black USB flash drive and handed it to Gu Jinyan, "It contains the false intelligence we deliberately leaked. As long as the spy leader takes the bait, we can track his location."
Gu Jinyan took the USB drive and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Next..." The security expert lowered his voice and explained the details of the plan.
Su Li was listening at the side, and couldn't help but secretly admire the security expert's meticulous thinking.
"Let's execute this plan," Gu Jinyan finally decided. "Remember, make sure everything goes well."
"Understood!" The security director and Su Li said in unison.
Everything is ready, and the trapping plan is officially launched. With the help of security experts, Su Li and Gu Jinyan set up a dragnet, waiting for the spy leader to fall into the trap...
