Chapter 168: Chapter 168 Big Crocodile Eats Small Crocodile (9)

Tang Qingzhong was at a loss for words, "You mean to say, from the very beginning—"

"That day, why do you think the chairman called us in for questioning? It was because he wanted to provoke certain people into speaking out, to reveal their own traces. However, as the questioning unfolded that day, the chairman realized, some people could endure. Simply with that, it was impossible to make them reveal their crimes. Therefore, he bluntly made use of me, letting me write a report, pretending to sell Mingyue, to lure the snake out of its hole. I had no choice but to follow the chairman’s wishes."

Listening to her casual final words, Tang Qingzhong’s forehead had already developed a layer of heavy sweat.

This—she’d never even met Xiao Jianming before, she didn’t even know what problems had arisen within Changda, yet just one meeting with Xiao Jianming in the boardroom, and she immediately grasped his intentions.

How does her mind work?

Tang Qingzhong could only look at her as if she were a visitor from another world.

In hindsight, Gu Nuan thought, that day, she seemed able to understand the gaze of that man seated on the throne. Could it be because that man’s gaze actually resembled her fake husband’s?

Was it the genetic legacy passed down from father to son that allowed her, in an instant, to understand Xiao Jianming’s thoughts?

Director Meng hurried back from outside, soaking wet, and upon entering the office, he took off his jacket, revealing a completely drenched shirt.

Team Leader Jiang followed him into the office, observing his ashen face with trepidation.

"What kind of B-school genius can’t even see through such simple tricks?!" Having closed the office door, Director Meng yelled twice.

Outside, Xu Zhilin seemed to hear the scolding directed at him, his head in a fog, no longer aware of his whereabouts.

Team Leader Jiang whispered, "Director, please calm down. Don’t let the people from Team Three see. Since she has set a trap, it indicates that maybe—the chairman—"

Maybe Xiao Jianming had also known about the shenanigans between them and Lin Jiale.

Director Meng immediately shut his mouth.

Team Leader Jiang said, "Up to now, we still can’t figure out why she was assigned to our Investment Promotion Department. Was it arranged by the chairman?"

"That’s rather unlikely." Director Meng calmed down and said, "I attended the meeting in the Human Resources Department about placing the newcomers that day. Basically, apart from the people personally chosen by Chairman Chen, there was no foul play. She ended up with us because nobody wanted her."

Upon hearing this, Team Leader Jiang finally took a breath of relief.

Thinking about it, if someone deliberately arranged for Gu Nuan to be in their department, it would be terrifying.

That person would be absolutely inscrutable!

It’s clear that this woman is not a simple individual.

However, no matter, since she’s now in their Investment Promotion Department and did something unfavorable to them, with Fang Yongxing being absent, they will have plenty of chances to use their seniority to crush her.

At that moment, Team Leader Jiang had another doubt, "How did the chairman find out? Mr. Lin didn’t come into contact with it himself, did he?"

"It seems that the chairman had already focused on a few people, just waiting for these people to act to gather evidence." Director Meng slumped into his office chair, yanked open the tie around his collar, but his complexion did not lighten for a long time.

God knows, the moment he saw Xiao Jianming’s car just now, he felt like a huge crocodile had opened its mouth in front of him, waiting for him, the smaller one, to run headlong into its jaws.

Pity the kid who went head to head directly with Xiao Jianming.

He must have been scared stiff by Xiao Jianming.

Xiao Jianming truly is no ordinary man! Otherwise, he wouldn’t have become the wealthiest man.

Regrettably, his only son is said to be a wastrel, a prodigal son.

Anyway, Director Meng had been with the company for many years, and he had never seen this silver spoon born son of the wealthiest man, nor did he know what he looked like.

Whether Xiao Family’s wealth can be preserved in the future is uncertain.

For those of us who have joined Changda and entrusted virtually our entire careers to it, of course we need to think ahead about what to do and which master to support for succession.

Lin Jiale is Xiao Family’s third son-in-law, with his own company, and in fact, the Lin Family’s company is not small. It’s said that when Xiao Shuju picked this divorced man, many were skeptical, thinking Xiao Jianming would oppose. But somehow, Xiao Jianming readily agreed to the marriage his daughter had chosen.

Therefore, it has long been rumored that Xiao Jianming intended for Lin Jiale to support his son. After all, Lin Jiale is also a well-known businessman in the business circle.

They had sided with Lin Jiale in this company precisely because they valued this.

Whether Xiao Jianming will use this incident as an opportunity to weed out people like them is uncertain. Because pulling one strand affects the whole web. There must be others in the company who are like them.

If he weeded them out, what would Xiao Jianming do about the others who support different forces? He can’t weed them all out, because then Changda would truly fall apart.

Thinking this, Director Meng’s expression softened, and he signaled to Team Leader Jiang with his eyes, "Call her in."

The chance he had hoped for! Team Leader Jiang immediately went out, and just happened to meet Tang Qingzhong, "Where’s your new recruit?"

"She went to the restroom," Tang Qingzhong said.

Team Leader Jiang didn’t say anything, preferring not to alarm the snake by hitting the grass.

After leaving Team Leader Jiang, Tang Qingzhong immediately sent a covert text message to Gu Nuan, telling her to hide outside for a while.

Considering that if she really collaborated with Xiao Jianming to carry out some actions and offended the people here, these people certainly wouldn’t let the matter rest and would surely start by targeting her first.

Upon receiving the text from Tang Duck, Gu Nuan pondered for a moment, then turned around and headed towards the Design Department across the way.
