After a satisfying meal, Lin Feng's cooking astonished both Dong Jie and He Ting. When the two beautiful women asked Lin Feng how he became such a good cook, Lin Feng shrugged and proudly replied, "It's nothing, just a bit of talent."
Lin Feng's smug expression naturally annoyed Dong Jie and He Ting. What did he mean by having talent? Did that imply they had less talent?
Although in some sense, Dong Jie and He Ting's skills couldn't quite compare to Lin Feng's after being influenced by Cui Lian from Forbidden Spring, the comparison was one thing; Lin Feng stating it outright was another. As a result, the two women scolded Lin Feng, making him hesitant to speak freely again.
Later that evening, knowing that Lin Feng had to work the next day, Dong Jie and He Ting decided not to stay longer. He Ting offered to take Dong Jie home, which reassured Lin Feng since it was He Ting who was driving.
The next morning, Lin Feng woke up early and went to Lin Family Manor to drop off Lin Mei at work.
Upon arriving at the company, Lin Feng saw Li Shuzhen waiting in the reception area of Lin Mei's office, clearly having been there for a while.
Little Pepper, serving as Secretary, had also arrived early and was currently accompanying Li Shuzhen.
"Lin Dong, you finally made it," Li Shuzhen said as soon as she saw Lin Mei enter.
"Oh, Li Zhong, let's discuss this in the office," Lin Mei replied. Noticing that Li Shuzhen had been waiting for her, she assumed it must be urgent.
Li Shuzhen was accustomed to Lin Mei's efficient way of handling matters and followed her into the office without hesitation.
However, just as they entered the office, Li Shuzhen glanced at Lin Feng with a meaningful look.
Lin Feng understood what Li Shuzhen meant but felt it wasn't appropriate to respond in this situation. He pretended not to notice and returned to his own office to continue his work—playing a small game.
Meanwhile, in Lin Mei's office, after Li Shuzhen closed the door behind them, Lin Mei asked, "Li Zhong, you seem anxious; is there something urgent?"
"Lin Dong, this matter is quite serious, so I came here early this morning. I hope I am not being too forward; I should have given you a call first." Li Shuzhen's profession? She is a Public Relations Manager. Although there is a reason for this meeting, it is still necessary to exchange some pleasantries, especially since she and Lin Mei are in a superior-subordinate relationship.
"Director Li, just get straight to the point. I believe you know my working style," Lin Mei clearly did not want to engage in any small talk with Li Shuzhen; she preferred to be direct and address matters head-on.
"Here's the thing: we have a significant issue. There is a corporate spy in our company, and they have infiltrated quite deeply." Seeing Lin Mei's straightforwardness, Li Shuzhen decided to be direct as well.
"Oh? Who?" Upon hearing this, a flash of surprise crossed Lin Mei's eyes before she asked. Clearly, while surprised, she knew that it was essential to first confirm whether this information was accurate.
"Wang Jin. Another manager from the Public Relations Department." At this point, Li Shuzhen did not hold back. Ever since Lin Feng handed her the information, she had thought about it all night and ultimately decided it was best to discuss it with Lin Mei first.
"Oh, since Director Li says so, I assume you have evidence?" Upon hearing that it was Wang Jin, Lin Mei let out a sigh of relief. Earlier, when Li Shuzhen mentioned that the corporate spy had infiltrated deeply into the company, Lin Mei had worried it might be someone high up who controlled the company's core operations. However, upon learning it was Wang Jin, her worries eased considerably.
After all, while both Wang Jin and Li Shuzhen managed departments and could be considered legitimate managers, they did not possess much control over resources related to the Golden Dragon Group. In fact, the information and resources that reached them were generally public knowledge and not confidential.
Nevertheless, Lin Mei would not show any signs of relief. She understood that sitting across from her was another Public Relations Manager. If she were too dismissive of Wang Jin, it would likely reflect poorly on Li Shuzhen as well; after all, they were both of the same managerial nature.
Moreover, even if Wang Jin were just an insignificant minor character, as long as he was a corporate spy, Lin Mei could not afford to ignore him.
Termites can destroy levees; how much more serious is it when a department manager betrays?
While this incident might not shake the foundations of the Golden Dragon Group, it would certainly have repercussions. In any case, this matter warranted Lin Mei's careful handling.
"I have evidence; here it is. Wang Jin's actions are truly disheartening." Seeing that Lin Mei wanted proof, Li Shuzhen directly presented the evidence that Lin Feng had given her and handed it over to Lin Mei.
What she referred to as evidence was essentially just a USB drive. Of course, upon receiving the evidence, Lin Mei immediately plugged the USB drive into her office computer and began quietly reviewing the so-called evidence.
Lin Mei was reviewing the evidence, and Li Shuzhen did not disturb her, quietly sitting in a chair and waiting.
"Good, very good, Li Zhong, you've done a great job this time by uncovering such a worm in the company. By the way, Li Zhong, how did you obtain this evidence?" After confirming that Wang Jin was the traitor from the evidence provided by Li Shuzhen, Lin Mei praised her and then curiously asked.
Although it was framed as curiosity, Li Shuzhen had to answer this question. While Lin Mei could not find any trace of intentional framing in the evidence, she was eager to know just how capable Li Shuzhen was to have obtained such information.
Moreover, with complete evidence, Wang Jin would find it impossible to argue his way out.
These matters made Lin Mei realize the frightening aspects of Li Shuzhen. She knew that the relationship between Li Shuzhen and Wang Jin was tense. In fact, part of the reason for their strained relationship was due to Lin Mei herself, as the position of Public Relations Manager could easily lead to embezzlement if not handled properly. Therefore, she was quite pleased to see the two tigers fighting each other.
However, now she found herself reassessing Li Shuzhen. From what she had seen earlier, the criminal information about Wang Jin that Li Shuzhen provided was collected very thoroughly. Gathering such information to this extent likely took a considerable amount of time, which meant that Li Shuzhen had been working behind the scenes for quite some time to take down Wang Jin. What surprised Lin Mei was that before obtaining this solid evidence against Wang Jin, Li Shuzhen had shown no signs at all.
The barking dog does not bite; the biting dog does not bark. To Lin Mei, it seemed that Li Shuzhen was indeed that kind of biting dog—one that would take half your life with a single bite.
As a Public Relations professional, Li Shuzhen was exceptionally astute. Noticing Lin Mei's expression, she understood that Lin Mei had connected this incident to certain unfavorable matters concerning herself. Therefore, she directly brought up Lin Feng, saying, "I should thank your assistant, Lin Dong, for this. He handed me these materials yesterday."
"Oh, so you mean these materials were given to you by Lin Feng?" Lin Mei was clearly surprised by this answer from Li Shuzhen. She couldn't understand how Lin Feng, having just joined the company for a day, could accomplish such a significant task without intending to inform anyone personally.
"Yes, it was indeed Lin Feng Lin Zhu." With her revelation about Lin Feng, Li Shuzhen no longer held back and confirmed it.
"Alright, I will handle this matter. You go prepare; we will hold an emergency meeting shortly. All managerial level personnel in the company must attend. The Golden Dragon Group will not harbor any worms." Although puzzled by why Lin Feng acted this way, Lin Mei decided to deal with Wang Jin properly and spoke to Li Shuzhen.
"Understood. I will go prepare now. You stay busy, Lin Dong." Seeing that her report had been received well and matching her expectations perfectly, Li Shuzhen did not linger and took her leave.
"Lin Feng, what on earth are you doing?" After Li Shuzhen left the office, Lin Mei gazed out at the scenery beyond the floor-to-ceiling window and murmured to herself.
Not long after, the headquarters of the Golden Dragon Group held an emergency meeting, requiring all managers and above to attend. Lin Feng and Xiao Ya, one an assistant and the other a secretary, also participated in the meeting. According to Xiao Ya, she had always been the recorder for these meetings.
At this moment, Lin Feng vaguely understood that the content of the meeting was likely related to Wang Jin's betrayal of the company; however, he was unaware that he had already been secretly sold out by Li Shuzhen.
Since it was an emergency meeting called by Lin Mei, all senior executives dared not be negligent. By the time Lin Feng and Xiao Ya followed Lin Mei into the conference room, everyone was already seated, and Li Shuzhen and Wang Jin were evidently present as well.
Seeing Wang Jin, Lin Feng even smiled at him.
Once everyone was settled, Lin Mei took her seat at the head of the table and announced the start of the meeting.
"The reason for this emergency meeting is that I received a report indicating that someone occupying a senior position in the company is taking a salary while engaging in treacherous acts against the company. Now I give him a chance to stand up from his seat." Lin Mei was clearly very angry, standing up to look down at everyone as she spoke.
Her words stirred up a wave of tension among the senior executives present. Of course, those who had reached such positions were seasoned veterans; even if they had indeed done something wrong, they would not show any signs on their faces. Instead, they appeared indignant.
Lin Mei seemed to be aware of this outcome. She did not expect that any of these seasoned individuals would confess without evidence. Her actions were merely intended to serve as a deterrent.
In the next moment, however, Lin Mei turned to Wang Jin and said, "Wang Jin, why don't you tell us how the company treats you employees?"
Though it was a question, the authority in Lin Mei's eyes was evident, making Lin Feng secretly admire her: "This woman is not simple!"
