Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2438 - 1816: Pretending for You

The impending termination of Matilda, secretary to Mr. Fiewood, the general manager of Yorko Company, did not elicit much sympathy from Lin Weiwei.

In the professional realm, diligent performance of one's duties is paramount; failure coupled with significant repercussions naturally leads to justifiable consequences, including dismissal. Relying on insufficient rest from working late the previous day as grounds to avoid punishment simply lacks logical foundation. Furthermore, even in the event of termination, compensation is typically provided.

Matilda's self-pity and sense of injustice stemmed solely from her attachment to a favorable position.

Witnessing Matilda's state, Lin Weiwei felt a spark of inspiration.

What if she were to assist Matilda in securing new employment?

In return, Matilda could be persuaded to produce the document mistakenly presented during the conference.

From Lin Weiwei's perspective, while not explicitly stated, they were practically aligned as a group. Bai Xiaosheng and his team held supervisory roles, thus acquiring the document wouldn't constitute corporate espionage.

Moreover, the document's contents focused on an analysis and review of several concluded business collaborations.

Confidentiality? Hardly.

Even if disclosed, its utility would be limited. It would primarily serve as a crucial lead for insiders like themselves who were investigating specific issues.

"Lin, are you truly going to help me find a better position... seriously?"

Matilda expressed a degree of disbelief, her large eyes betraying a flicker of surprise as she regarded Lin Weiwei.

While such an offer might seem hollow from another, originating from this business contingent, it carried significant weight.

Hadn't she observed the prominent city figures accompanying them on this occasion?

"Absolutely!" Lin Weiwei declared with unwavering conviction.

Securing a role comparable or superior to her current one would not be challenging. Although Bai Xiaosheng's team might possess limited local connections, individuals like Lu Yun and Jia Chengshan undoubtedly had business contacts or partners in Lekram. A simple request from Bai Xiaosheng could effortlessly facilitate a suitable placement.

It was this confidence that emboldened Lin Weiwei to make such a promise.

Matilda's eyes suddenly gleamed, the previous distress and indignation replaced by a nascent surge of hope.

"Tell me what you need, and I will do it!" Filled with newfound motivation, Matilda eagerly engaged with Lin Weiwei.

Despite her outward appearance as a professional, "sweet and innocent girl," Matilda was acutely aware that nothing in this world comes without a price.

Especially considering they had just met, with no prior emotional connection to establish a basis for altruism.

"I noticed the document you seemed to misplace while seated in the audience earlier. How did you come into possession of such a thing?" Lin Weiwei inquired calmly.

Matilda hesitated, then mumbled, "You're asking about that? I copied it from Mr. Fiewood's computer. I must have made an error... you see, many of his document identifiers are quite similar, and with my lack of rest yesterday and feeling unwell today, mistakes are bound to happen..."

Matilda continued to offer this explanation for herself.

Lin Weiwei nodded noncommittally; her primary concern wasn't the document's origination with Matilda but its current whereabouts.

"Do you still have it?" Lin Weiwei pressed immediately.

Matilda shook her head. "During the meeting, Mr. Fiewood appeared extremely agitated and furious, and he took back the USB drive directly. The one you observed at the meeting was actually opened from his personal email; it was his own backup."

Upon hearing this, Lin Weiwei's spirits plummeted, her disappointment evident on her face.

Indeed, Mr. Fiewood's intense reaction at the time made it predictable that he would reclaim the document.

"However, I did create a backup copy." Matilda added softly.

These words instantly jolted Lin Weiwei back to full attention.

Matilda rummaged through her bag, producing a small USB drive. However, instead of immediately handing it over, she blinked her large eyes and asked, "Lin, you promised to help me, didn't you?"

"Of course, the offer stands!" Lin Weiwei replied with a hint of excitement. "Come, let me introduce you to someone who can assist you!"

...

The chamber designated for Bai Xiaosheng and his companions to rest had originally served as a conference room. Its standard furnishings had been removed and replaced with plush leather sofas and a bar area, maintaining a spacious ambiance.

A significant portion of the business delegation had already retreated to their lounge accommodations.

Bai Xiaosheng and Lei Ying were seated in a secluded corner, deeply engaged in a discussion regarding their insights from the day's tour.

Bai Xiaosheng intended to compile a comprehensive report covering technology, machinery, operational expertise, and other relevant aspects, forwarding it to Xiahou Qi to ensure the trip yielded tangible benefits.

At this juncture, Lin Weiwei reappeared.

"You were absent for quite some time," Lei Ying observed Lin Weiwei with evident curiosity. "Did you step out to refresh your makeup? It doesn't appear to have become any more refined!"
