Marcus's action was very fast. In less than three days, he used the rest of his time to help Ethan translate and organize all the information. Ethan took the material he organized, and the business department project team submitted the report. Compared to see the end, the heart has a few points of the number. He dialed a phone out and asked people to give him to check a thing. He then began to prepare for the trip to Italy.
He asked someone to check things; the next day, there was a result. He received a phone call when he and Marcus were in the restaurant with dinner. He listened to the other end of the finished. Ethan thanked him and hung up the phone. While giving him food, Marcus casually asked him, " How is it?"
"As expected, there's a problem with the German car."
"What's the problem?"
"Performance requirements in a few places do not meet the new domestic standards, the German manufacturers sent over the English information is not as detailed as the German information, can not see what the problem is, to carefully compare that German information to know, but the business department to me in the report did not mention this, although it is a very detailed place, but so the introduction of their cars, the result is that It's very likely that it won't be able to be launched on the market here at all, I just asked someone to go and double-check that performance standard that was just introduced for me yesterday, and the reply he gave me just now was the same as what I guessed."
Marcus was slightly surprised, "How do those under you work? How could such a mistake be made?"
Ethan shook his head. "This project is handled by William, and that German information is even translated by him personally. Only he and another small employee in the entire project team understand German."
"...He did it on purpose?"
"Before, he didn't take a stance on the surface, but privately, he told his subordinates to recommend this project to me privately. Liam's side also passed it painfully, making it clear that they might have known about this problem from the very beginning."
"If you really signed a contract with the German manufacturer, and afterward this car can't be marketed, then the money invested in it will all go down the drain....How can he say he's also a Lyson person but would even do such a thing?"
"This is nothing unusual," Ethan said," William is my person. Whether intentional or careless mistakes like this, he should wait until the wood is in the boat and bear the responsibility. I can not escape, and I am still the general manager of the company; before the fire thing, I was still the director general of the company; the previous fire has already made the board of directors of the head office have a slight word for me, this time, if the company's investment is lost, not to mention the position of the president, I am afraid that I have to take the blame and resign."
"Then what are you going to do?"
"Anyway, the money has already been allocated. In two days, I will explain. I went to Germany to talk to that side of the contract and then transferred to Italy, the Italian side of the project. I have also asked my assistant and a few beloved ones to follow up privately."
"You're planning to diverge the cooperation project with Italy from Liam's people first? Will that work?"
Ethan smiled, "I'm still the company's head; they can't do anything about it, and that project in Germany doesn't work, so they won't have anything to say when it's revealed."
Marcus thought about it and reminded him, "Even if that's the case when the time comes, it's still William's responsibility alone; Liam is perfectly capable of skimming it off, right?"
"I'm not trying to do anything to him," Ethan said," I need to win over him, and the way things are going, as long as I can successfully take the new project, he doesn't stand a chance."

After finishing his meal, leaving the restaurant, and getting into his car, Marcus remembered another question: "William is the business department manager and the project head. Will he be going to Germany with us?"
Ethan, who was driving the car, turned his head to look at him and smiled, "If he's going, you're not going?"
"I'm not going if he's going," Marcus said honestly. I'm annoyed to see him, so I might as well not see him at all."
"Oh...who was the one who couldn't move from the sight of him before?"
"You think you weren't?"Marcus snorted lightly, "Just half a catty."
For the sake of William, Ethan kept being jealous of Marcus from the beginning. After that, Marcus also gave Ethan a cold shoulder because he threw his face at him. Now, there's no point in bringing up this topic repeatedly. Ethan also knows how to stop. After ruffling the feathers, he immediately saw the good things, smiled, and explained, "He's not going to go."
"He's not going?"
"Those small employees on the project team are easy to fool; if he goes, how am I going to transfer him to Italy on the premise that he doesn't suspect anything and doesn't look for trouble? I transferred him to another project team."
"He didn't get suspicious?"
"LK's yacht project, which is much more important, put him in charge."
"... I think you can take charge of it yourself."
"Where do I get that much time," Ethan smiled and tapped the steering wheel," I'll trouble Marcus to take care of him more in the future."
This is not a big deal. The cooperation between Lyson and LK is already on the right track, and Marcus does not need to be personally involved in the day-to-day affairs. Not to mention that William will probably not be able to stay in Lyson for long before he is swept out of the door, so even if Ethan asked him to be in charge of LK's project, they do not need to meet each other.
The car drove past the apartment building where Ethan used to live. There was a traffic jam, and it was raining. Ethan slowed the car's speed, almost driving a few steps and stopping for some time. Marcus turned his head and saw a cab parked at the entrance of the apartment building. The person who came down from the car was William, who had one hand holding an umbrella. One hand also had his arm around another person, a very petite, long-haired woman, and the two of them were very close to each other, and their attitudes were very intimate. The two of them were very close, and their attitude was very intimate.
Marcus gestured for Ethan to look. Ethan took a look and said, with some surprise, "He has a girlfriend?"
"Didn't you send someone to check him out?"
"Yes, I did; nothing other than he's seen Liam in private."
The man and woman who came down from the car had already quickly entered the apartment building; Ethan frowned slightly as he watched, "That woman looks a bit familiar."
"When he and Qin Sitong got married, Qin Sitong followed one of her bridesmaids around every inch of the way," Marcus said," It should be her."
He was always good at remembering people; he could almost instantly recognize anyone he had met the next time he saw them again, Marcus said and laughed again, asking Ethan, "Do you think he and this woman got together after he divorced your cousin, or before?"
Ethan said, "I think I need someone to check him out again."
"You're still interested in what happened to him?"
"I want to know how Liam and him hooked up, and my gut tells me this woman should be the key."

A week later, the investigation report Ethan asked for was delivered to him, accompanied by detailed background information and sneak peek photos of the woman he saw that day.
Liu Chen, twenty-six years old and in the middle management of Qin's finance department, returned from studying in the United States three years ago. Qin Sitong's schoolmate met Qin Sitong in the United States several years ago. Also, William's high school classmate dated William in high school and broke up after graduation.
"They have not been separated," Ethan handed the information to Marcus to see:" They are very well disguised; I guess William and Sitong married before the Qin old man also investigated William; otherwise, it would not be possible to rest assured that Sitong to him, but should be done not find William has been with this Liu Chen dating, I previously sent people to check him also did not find the existence of this woman, he is quite able to hide, this time if not this woman to come here on business happened to be bumped into us, will not let us find out."
Marcus looked at the information in his hand. His heart couldn't tell what he felt for a moment. The more he looked at these, the more he felt that his previous thoughts for so many years were simply a big joke.
"Liam's mistress, remember? She's a cousin of this Liu Chen and probably knew about them, so she told Liam."
"But even if he has another woman outside, based on that alone, it's unlikely that Liam would force William and your cousin to divorce and leave Qin for his use or even cheapen himself to please you."Marcus reminded him, "It's just cheating, a kind word to coax. Maybe your cousin won't even count."
"A few months ago, Liu Chen bought a house in the center of the city here with full payment; her family origin is similar to William's; without the family's financial support with her salary income, it's impossible to afford to buy a house with a market price of more than100,000a square meter here, and it's a breath of fresh air to pay it all off., but it was soon sold again to cash in on William's divorce and leaving Qin's after."
Marcus sniffed in surprise,"You mean..."
Ethan nodded:"Although it's just my guess,but since William has already sat in the position of general manager of Qin's,and she is the finance department,Qin's real estate investment projects everywhere in the country,the two people partner,God knows not to realize from which project randomly get a little money,but also may not be someone to find out,but but but probably Liam through his mistress to get the money they lost the public.Mistress got the evidence of their loss of public,after this as blackmail,William had to be from or can only wait to eat lawsuits squatting in jail,I estimate that they sell the house to cash is intended to help Liam do things to get back the handle after immigration."
"...you plan to tell Master Qin?"
"Because of Sitong's divorce he has been angry and sick,now still lying on the hospital bed,it's better not to bother him,after all,it's someone else's company's business,not to mention that it's just my guess,there's no half evidence,where can I intervene,first wait for me to sign up for that project in Italy before saying anything."
After Ethan finished his words,he suddenly reached over and wrapped his hand around Marcus's waist,sticking over and hugging him from behind,lowering his voice:"Marcus,knowing what kind of person he really is,isn't it suffocating?"
"Do you?"
"...expected,from the time he and Sitong got married I guessed,I just didn't realize that the truth is even more unpleasant than I originally thought,I originally thought that after he became the Qin family's son-in-law and got what he wanted he would be at peace,or at least be able to treat Sitong well."
Marcus was silent for a while and said,"It's a pity that you weren't the one I fell for at first glance back then."
Ethan froze,then let out a loud laugh,"That's not bad,we ended up together after going around in circles,it was destined to be our fate."
Marcus turned his head sideways and looked into his eyes for a moment before leaning over and kissing him lightly.
