12: What happens if a beautiful woman loses a bet?
President's Office.
Chen Yang slowly sipped his tea.
"Because the real reason for the leak is that your company has an internal mole."
Han Feixue suddenly stood up, her chest heaving violently.
"Impossible!"
"After the leak occurred, we conducted a thorough internal investigation. There were only 4 people who knew the final plan."
"Besides me, the other 3 are department directors who started the company with me and have made huge contributions to its growth."
"They couldn't possibly betray the company; it wouldn't be in their best interest."
Chen Yang continued to drink tea, as calm as ever.
"It's hard to gauge people's hearts. Are you sure they would never betray you?"
Han Feixue was very agitated, glaring fiercely at Chen Yang.
"Every single one of them was handpicked by me from countless others, and their abilities and character have passed numerous tests."
"Especially after they joined me, I put a lot of effort into them."
"Every one of them, every one of their families, has received immense help from me."
"Many times, in extremely difficult situations, I lent a helping hand to get them through."
"It can be said that without me, they wouldn't have their current happy lives."
"Do you think they would still betray me?"
Chen Yang glanced at Han Feixue, composed and unhurried.
"Are you so agitated because there's still a one-in-a-million chance? After all, the human heart is like the sea, and greed is like an abyss!"
Han Feixue bit her lip, stubbornly saying:
"I don't believe it, unless you can provide evidence!"
Chen Yang picked up his teacup and took a small sip.
He said calmly:
"Evidence? Yes, I can."
"But if I find the evidence, what will you say then?"
Han Feixue had always been strong-willed and naturally wouldn't admit defeat.
"If you can find the evidence and uncover the mole, I will apologize to you and give you a thank-you fee. How about it?"
Chen Yang nodded.
"Alright."
Han Feixue turned the tables.
"What if you can't find the evidence?"
Chen Yang hesitated a little.
"I'm here to help you, and I still have to make a bet?"
Han Feixue was unwilling to be at a disadvantage, saying teasingly:
"No, you must! How about this: if you lose, you return the 30,000 yuan I gave you. What do you say?"
Chen Yang felt a pang in his wallet.
"Okay..."
He muttered to himself: You're such a big CEO, yet you're haggling with me over every penny. That's so petty, isn't it?
At this moment.
It was just past quitting time.
After everyone in the company had left work.
Chen Yang personally went to the offices of the three informed individuals to install hidden cameras, the kind with voice recorders that transmit sound and images simultaneously.
Back in the President's Office, Chen Yang instructed:
"Wait for me tomorrow, and you'll proceed as planned."
Han Feixue nodded.
But in her heart, she was dismissive. If you can't find the mole tomorrow, let's see what you'll do.
Back at the hospital.
His parents were doing well.
"Mom, I'll stay with Dad tonight. You go rest! This hospitalization will probably last at least a week, so you need to take care of yourself!"
Chen Yang booked a room at a nearby hotel for his mother, Yang Aihua, to rest.
He stayed alone in the ward, keeping watch through the night.
Fortunately, Bai Yuyan had already made arrangements; this was a VIP ward with only one bed.
Before leaving work, she also brought a folding bed.
Lying on the folding bed, Chen Yang actually slept very soundly.
Waking up the next day, Chen Yang went downstairs to buy breakfast.
He checked the daily intelligence update.
"Ding! Today's intelligence refresh!"
"Intelligence 1: Lilac will make a bad investment today, losing 100,000 yuan."
"Intelligence 2: Bai Yuyan is being harassed by a male colleague, Gao Fei, and is very troubled."
"Intelligence 3: Parents worry that the surgery will not be successful, Father regrets, Mother worries."
Chen Yang felt a wave of disappointment.
Today's intelligence contained no opportunities to make money.
However.
Seeing his parents' information, Chen Yang still checked the details immediately.
In the scene.
His father lay in the hospital bed, holding his mother's hand.
"My surgery isn't an ordinary one. I've prepared myself mentally for everything. My only regret is not being able to walk with you to the end. The days ahead will be hard for you!"
His mother's tears flowed uncontrollably.
"No... it's okay, you don't have to worry about me. You... just relax, the surgery will definitely be successful!"
Chen Yang walked quickly upstairs and entered the ward.
He handed breakfast to his mother.
He whispered to his parents:
"Dad, Mom, don't worry, the surgery will definitely be successful! Bai Yuyan is an Associate Chief Physician with a doctorate. She has performed many similar surgeries, and without exception, all have been successful."
"Moreover, she's also a good friend of mine, so she'll definitely give it her all. The surgery will definitely be a success!"
Chen Yang wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Once Dad recovers, I'll send you back to our hometown to live a good life."
"We'll renovate the old house and build a big one."
"With a yard in front and a garden in the back. If you want to plant vegetables, flowers, or trees, you can."
"Your son has money now, and he'll make even more in the future."
"Our lives will definitely get better and better!"
His father, Chen Zhongshi, finally showed a relieved smile on his face.
His mother, Yang Aihua, couldn't help but remind him:
"Yang Zi, there's one more important thing, and that's to marry a virtuous wife and have a good grandson."
Chen Yang scratched his head, feeling a bit troubled.
This task isn't so easy to complete!
"Ding! Gained 10 points, current accumulated points: 70 points. Keep up the good work!"
Another 10 points!
Chen Yang was very pleased.
Then, looking at the first piece of intelligence, Chen Yang felt a bit conflicted.
He had only met Lilac once. Would it be too abrupt if he suddenly warned her?
Miss Ding was like a fairy.
After much thought, Chen Yang still pulled out his phone.
Never mind, points are the most important!
"Miss Ding, be careful when buying antiques today to avoid making a bad investment."
Sending such a message after only meeting once was indeed a bit abnormal.
Chen Yang didn't expect Lilac to reply at all.
Perhaps she would block him?
Ding-dong!
A message notification sound rang out.
Chen Yang opened it and saw that it was Lilac's reply.
"What do you mean?"
Lilac had just arrived at the Treasure Pavilion and was about to start work.
She didn't expect to receive a message so early in the morning, telling her not to make a bad investment.
This wasn't a good omen.
Especially for people in the antique business, the phrase "making a bad investment" was particularly taboo.
Chen Yang thought for a moment, then typed a reply.
"I often hear people say that those in the antique business are most prone to making bad investments, so I just wanted to remind you. No other meaning."
Lilac glanced at the message and casually replied.
"Thanks!"
Then she tossed her phone aside.
As a top beauty, she encountered various attempts at flirting every day, and messages like this were simply countless.
The slight curiosity and good impression she had of Chen Yang also faded a bit.
She didn't expect him to be such a common person.
How boring!
"Ding! Gained 10 points, current accumulated points: 80 points. Keep up the good work!"
Awesome!
Earning points like this was too easy!
When he had more points, should he consider drawing a prize or upgrading?
Always earning points, never spending them.
He felt a bit stifled!
Was he afraid of being poor?
Only taking in, never giving out, only earning, never spending. How could he enjoy life?
He wasn't poor anymore!
He had to change his mindset!
Around 10 AM, Chen Yang arrived at Linjiang Feixue Advertising Company.
He quietly snuck into the President's Office and hid in the changing room behind it.
Everything proceeded according to plan.
It started at 10:10.
Han Feixue successively called the three directors, the potential leakers, into her office.
"The proposal we submitted for the bid earlier was just a smokescreen."
"The real plan is all hidden in this USB drive."
"I've already contacted Party A. This morning, we'll personally visit them to make one last effort. We must win this big project!"
"Now, go back and prepare. We'll leave in ten minutes."
Han Feixue repeated the same words, the same routine, three times.
Then she dismissed them.
Ten minutes was enough time to do many things.
If someone was an internal mole, he would immediately notify the mastermind to prevent the project from being lost.
After the last person left, Han Feixue also walked into the changing room.
Chen Yang had already made thorough preparations.
The two sat on the sofa, drinking tea and watching the show.
On the table was a display screen.
It showed three screens, corresponding to the offices of the three directors.
The picture was clear, the sound was distinct, even footsteps made a "da-da" sound.
The changing room was small, and the sofa was cramped.
Chen Yang and Han Feixue sat close together, pretending not to care, focusing on the screen.
Each other's breathing was faintly audible.
A faint fragrance wafted in the air.
Soon.
The three directors successively returned to their offices.
The first director.
He was a middle-aged man.
His expression was a bit surprised.
He paced back and forth in the office, seemingly thinking about something.
After all, Han Feixue's approach was indeed a bit bizarre and illogical.
However.
From beginning to end, he did not contact the outside world.
Han Feixue's heart settled slightly.
She looked at Chen Yang with a hint of smugness.
See?
My people are fine, aren't they?
The second director.
She was a seductive young woman.
She sat at her desk, writing and drawing.
Sometimes she frowned, sometimes she was invigorated.
After a moment, she got up.
She closed the doors and windows, then stood up to change clothes.
Her jacket came off... "Don't look!"
Han Feixue suddenly stopped Chen Yang, covering his eyes with her hand... The result was fortunate: this beautiful young woman also did not contact the outside world.
Han Feixue was very excited.
Her people were fine.
This was a huge encouragement to her.
The next second.
She looked at Chen Yang with a challenging gaze.
"I said there's no mole, and there isn't!"
"You'd better get ready to give me back the 30,000 yuan!"
Chen Yang felt his wallet was in danger.
What was going on?
Was there really no mole?
Impossible!
The system couldn't be wrong!
So, I was wrong, and this mole doesn't want to tip them off?
If that were true.
His 30,000 yuan would probably be gone!
Damn!
Wasn't this cutting into his flesh?
