She’s Hard to Get - C231 purge interior
Ning Caier’s finger gently pressed on his shoulder, not saying another word, because he knew how much Ouyang Jue valued his family, even if it was her father he disliked, he would still do her best to help. It was probably because Qin Lang threatened him again after he was released from prison that caused him to be so worried.
“I also thought the same, but how could he compromise so easily after resisting for so long? Someone must have sent him a message.”
Ouyang Jue kept on comforting himself not to believe Qin Lang’s words, but he was very clear in his heart that such a man would not think for others even on the day of his death. However, he had investigated Qin Lang’s recent situation and no one had seen him these past few days. He also did not have any contact with the outside world and the information was not sent in through formal means.
The most inconspicuous way to send a message in the police station was to rely on the officers to rely on the others. After Qin Lang went in, he had such an accurate grasp of what was happening outside the house.
Ouyang Jue suddenly felt that he had been played by someone. So it turned out that all of the arrangements he made in the police station were done right under Ling Tian’s nose, no wonder that man was even a step ahead of him in everything he did.
No matter who reported to him, his first reaction was that this person was not Ling Tian’s man. The people he sent to investigate did not give him any feedback, the only thing that gave him was a kind of fear, because according to what they said, Ling Tian’s power was everywhere, and almost every business company had one or two of his own.
It was very likely that he had placed his own people in the TiaoAo Group a few years ago, and was constantly monitoring the operation of the people here as well as the use of their funds. That was why Ouyang Jue’s eyes had always been scanning the place, hoping to find out the spies in the group as soon as possible so that he could live a stable life.
“Haven’t you planted this kind of person in other companies before? As long as we are careful not to let one of them take control of all the business secrets, it should be fine.”
saw that Ouyang Jue was extremely worried about this matter and couldn’t help but think that it was because of him. He had Commercial Spy in many large enterprises and in order to be able to stay in an invincible position, everyone wanted to ask about news on other people’s families. That was the reason why he started this profession.
It was just that it was not easy for some people to have access to the secrets of the business. Some people no longer wanted to be a Commercial Spy after reaching such a high level, and obediently pledged their allegiance to their hidden company. Perhaps Tian Ao’s current situation was the same as well, as they did not want to go back for a long time.
“You really do know how to comfort others. However, the other party is not inferior to our large corporation. Furthermore, that person has a lot of skills. It’s not strange for him to invite some high-tech hackers to act like pigs and eat tigers.”
Ouyang Jue was unable to find any information on the higher ups of his own company, and then he could only find out the relationship between them and Ling Tian through the management of various departments. However, the other party’s background seemed to be very deep, and even though he wasn’t able to find anything related to Ling Tian, he was able to find out quite a few small fishes and small prawns.
Some of these fish and prawns had stolen the money, some of them had joined up with others to steal Tian Ao’s technology, although they only managed to take a fraction of the money, Ouyang Jue still put them in a safe place, to prevent the company from committing another crime.
He did not expect that there would be these worms in his company. He thought that TianAo’s welfare would always be high enough for the family, but he did not expect that they would be so greedy that they would even dare to pocket it for one or two thousand yuan.
If the matter was not serious, most of the agreements they made would be to automatically resign. As for the serious matters, other than returning the money, they would also have to leave the city to live and not engage in related businesses, otherwise, the TiaoAo Group would sue them at any time.
The people of TiaoAo Group did not understand what was happening. Even though the company was in good working condition, there were still people constantly leaving, and the day where the decapitated sword would fall at any moment caused everyone to tremble with fear. The finished product was not as good as before, and very quickly, the news of the job cuts spread throughout the TiaoAo Group, sending everyone into a new round of panic.
“Director Ning, has the list of job cuts been set? My family’s burden is heavy, please don’t judge me!”
The company’s teahouse was the place that Ning Caier did not want to go the most, because there were people who would come to her every day to plead with her, hoping that Ouyang Jue could eliminate him from the list of downsizing. This caused Ning Caier to not know whether to laugh or cry.
“The company doesn’t plan to cut jobs at all. They just found out that someone was using the company’s resources to gain self-interest, so they eliminated a few bugs. Now that TianAo’s share price has risen greatly, everyone will get a bonus if they continue working until the end of the year.”
Ning Caier stirred the coffee in her cup, she had the appearance of the boss now, trying her best to dispel everyone’s suspicions, hoping that they would maintain a warm working attitude. However, she knew that her words did not have much power, because even her Design Department had people who left, and she was an assistant designer with no background.
This designer had only been in the job for less than three months, and had not been involved in many jobs either. Ning Caier couldn’t think of anything that violated the rules, but she was still unable to pass the probation period, and on the last day, she was sent out of TiaoAo Group by Ouyang Jue.
The company had quieted down for a few days because of Ning Caier’s words, but not long after, the kind of panic again. This was because Ouyang Jue had become more strict with the company’s rules, and was firing people almost every day at the rate of one person a day.
Gradually, everyone stopped coming to the tea room to beg for mercy. They were all extremely nervous, afraid that the next person in trouble would be them. After all, she and Ouyang Jue slept on the same bed, and it might be worse if they said something to offend the boss.
“Ouyang, haven’t you fired too many people recently? Everyone is worried about losing their jobs.”
Ning Caier could not plead for a single person, so she took the chance to eat dinner to plead for the rest of the employees. Although things like eating kickbacks were not tolerated, but if it was a light situation, could they still remember to take care of it?
“The people I fire are all ordinary employees or small managers. These kinds of people are easily replenished in the market so there’s no need to worry. Furthermore, they dare to be greedy in such small positions. If I don’t expel them, then these people will become more and more greedy.”
Ouyang Jue didn’t think that his actions were wrong. In fact, internal investigations were something that he would frequently do, however, the last time he conducted such an official internal investigation was five years ago. At that time, quite a few people had already been wiped out, causing a burst of fear.
“You don’t need to care about the matter of expelling employees. Everyone who is expelled has substantial evidence. I won’t wrongly accuse others.”
Ouyang Jue wiped his mouth with a napkin. What he had ordered today was a plate of West Cold steak, the meat quality was a little hard, so it took a lot of effort for him to cut the meat, and even the plate made the sound of a knife slicing through it. This kind of disrespectful eating never happened to Ouyang Jue before, but he seemed to not hear this sound at all as he continued to polish the knife on the sliced beef.
“Ouyang, are you alright?” When Ning Caier saw his lifeless eyes, she immediately grabbed onto his hand and stopped him from continuing any further. Recently, he had been absentmindedly wandering more and more, and sometimes he herself wouldn’t even notice it.
“I’m fine. Where did you say?” When Ouyang Jue came back to his senses, he realised that he had been impolite. He rang the bell for the waiter to change to a more naked eye and at the same time, took a big gulp from the white wine on the table.
A few days ago, he heard that Xu Mengyun had returned from a business trip, but he still did not dare meet her, afraid that he would discover some truth that he did not want to know. However, his thoughts would often run to that side, and over time, it would become a knot in his heart.
“When we talked about the job cuts, why did the little girl from Design Department also get fired. I don’t think there’s any problems with her job and I’m not afraid of working overtime, why did you fire her as well?”
In order to stop Ouyang Jue from thinking too much, he kept on chatting with her. At the same time, she wanted to know the reason behind the redundancy.
“Once, when that young lady sneaked into Xiao Ningyuan’s office, she was caught red-handed by the security guards when they grabbed the information. The reason they didn’t send her to Police station was already giving her another chance at her age.”
Ouyang Jue remembered what happened in the Design Department. That intern was sent by a small company, in an attempt to register the models of the products, and get a compensation from them. However, this kind of thief didn’t understand the operation of a large company at all. Real designs couldn’t be placed on a table, and the things she stole were just useless manuscripts.
“How could such a thing happen in the Design Department?” After hearing what Ouyang Jue had to say, Ning Caier put down the trident in her hands. She stayed in the Design Department every day and felt that she understood every single one of the employees.
“As long as it’s an important department, there will always be such people, so the management of Design Department is also the strictest. However, you have never found out about it since the beginning you got the Gold Medallion for Life and Death.”
Ouyang Jue looked at Ning Caier’s shocked expression and laughed faintly. He knew that this grey matter was hard for Ning Caier to digest, but the company was in urgent need of fresh blood, and he had wanted to do this a long time ago, but in the past, due to the face and relationships of the shareholders, he would have to let a few insignificant people in.
“As long as there’s a reason, it’s fine. In the future, I will keep a close eye on them and not let them have an opportunity.”
Ning Caier felt that she should ask Xiao Ningyuan for guidance first, in case she would think of Ouyang Jue as a tyrant and those biting foxes as little white rabbits. Ning Caier strongly blinked her eyes, indicating that she wanted to cultivate the Fiery Eyes of Truth. In the future, whenever someone passed by her, she would know whether that person was loyal or unscrupulous.
