Chapter 505: My adopted sister returned to her hometown to farm (3)
Song Yucheng cast his gaze towards the people in Lin Man's team, and a sense of déjà vu suddenly arose in his heart.
However, he changed his mind and thought that maybe they had just met once on some other occasion, so he did not take it too seriously.
"Well, let me take a look first! But I may not be able to give much advice." As he said that, Song Yucheng picked up the basic information on the tables of these people and started to read it.
After just a few glances, he couldn't help but ask, "Where did you get these things from?"
As he read deeper, Song Yucheng's brows gradually furrowed, like two tightly twisted knots.
Especially when he turned to a certain page of key data, his expression became extremely ugly, so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out.
Lin Man, who was standing aside, saw Song Yucheng's reaction and her heart began to beat fast. She felt guilty for no reason.
The reason was simple, it was because she had secretly taken this project out from Song Yucheng's study before.
At the beginning, the information was just some preliminary ideas and some scattered data, but fortunately, those data played a vital role.
So, she had an idea and found a smaller research institute and asked them to further improve the information and follow up.
Most of the team members who appeared here at this moment came from that research institute.
In fact, unless it was absolutely necessary, Lin Man would never bring these things up in front of the real owner.
But Lin Man had already signed an investment intention contract with a company.
If she fails to complete the project within the stipulated time, in addition to paying a considerable amount of liquidated damages, she will also have to give up her previous career plans and go home to get married.
"Xiao Cheng, I'm sorry, I was too impatient!" Lin Man said with some guilt, "I know it's wrong to take the files from your room, but I really need a big project to prove myself."
"But this project is a false proposition!" Song Yucheng sighed, "That document looks very valuable for research, but in fact it is a project that we have eliminated.
Otherwise, why do you think I could bring these things back home? I just felt that I spent too much time on them, so I brought these materials back as a souvenir.
By the way, it is also to remind myself that no matter what happens in the future, I should stop the loss in time! "
"I just said that the steps are obviously the same, why has the experiment always failed? It turns out that the research direction of this project was wrong from the beginning." A member of Lin Man's team suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Man's face turned pale in an instant.
But this matter has nothing to do with Song Yucheng.
In the final analysis, it was because she had read the documents in Song Yucheng's study and developed an inappropriate greed.
"Then I..." Lin Man's legs softened and she sat on the sofa, "What should I do about the penalty?"
Song Yucheng also said with some regret: "Sister Man, it's okay. When you signed the contract, there should have been a clause stating that the experiment would have the risk of failure!"
Lin Man's contract did indeed include these things, but she was too confident at the time, so the exemption part was not...
Several members who quit the team were recruited employees, so the issue of liquidated damages really had nothing to do with them.
In fact, when the project started to spend money, some people wanted to share in the profits. If Lin Man agreed, she wouldn't have to bear the debt alone.
But now everyone present feels that they are extremely lucky.
Then a few people exchanged glances and stood up to leave.
"Xiao Cheng, please help me again!" Lin Man waited until all the people left before she came back to her senses. "I really can't come up with such a large sum of money in a short time!"
Song Yucheng's expression was full of confusion. The families in the Lin family compound who had been doing business earlier should have better financial conditions than the Song family, otherwise they would not have the money to send Lin Man abroad.
"Sister Man, I don't understand what you mean!" Song Yucheng asked in disbelief, "This penalty shouldn't be very high! If it doesn't work, you can ask Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin to make up for it!"
Lin Man smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Cheng, you only saw me going abroad, but you don't know that in fact, my living expenses and tuition fees abroad were paid by my own part-time jobs over the years.
We have a younger brother, and as you know, most of the money in the family was left to him by my parents."
Having said this, Lin Man began to talk about some of the inner stories hidden under this seemingly glamorous life.
The Lin family’s preference for boys over girls has always existed, but not many people can see it.
They all live in the compound, so Lin’s parents can’t do anything too excessive.
But there is one thing that many parents know but children don’t.
That is, in fact, Lin Man's younger brother Lin Yang was an unplanned birth child. In that era when family planning was strictly controlled, as a national government employee, he could still have a second child.
The most effective way is to get a disability certificate for the eldest daughter Lin Man.
