Chapter 600: 584

"It's very simple!"

The man smiled: "You work in the Five Star Property branch; you must have some understanding of the internal situation of the Five Star Group. We want you to help us pass on some messages or something."

The man understood very well that things had to be done slowly; one couldn't be in a rush.

At first, he had to let these Five Star Group employees sell some unimportant things.

Then, over time, accumulate constantly.

Once a long time had passed and they had sold too much, these employees wouldn't be able to turn back.

Jiu Jiu Wenlong: "You're asking me to be a traitor..."

The man smiled: "Mr. Wen, we don't ask you to provide anything important. And, think about it, with your current salary, how can you afford your wife and child, how can you afford to buy an apartment?"

Jiu Jiu Wenlong hesitated: "Really unimportant things?"

The man sincerely: "That's for sure; for important things, we will find more important people. To tell you the truth, some high-level management of the Five Star Group have also defected to us."

Jiu Jiu Wenlong was shocked.

The man smiled confidently.

Jiu Jiu Wenlong hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded: "Fine, if it's unimportant, I can provide..."

The man smiled and reached out: "Happy cooperation!"

Jiu Jiu Wenlong reached out: "Happy cooperation!"

The man handed him a business card: "This is my contact number."

Jiu Jiu Wenlong looked at the business card, took a deep breath, and took it. Then he opened the envelope and counted; it was 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.

He put away the business card and money, got out of the car, left quickly, and went home.

The man sat in the driver's seat, looking at Jiu Jiu Wenlong's back, his expression thoughtful.

He wasn't sure if Jiu Jiu Wenlong had really defected or if he was just taking the money on purpose.

However,

As long as Jiu Jiu Wenlong took it, the matter was done.

First: If he defected, let Jiu Jiu Wenlong do things for them.

Second: If he didn't defect, it could still sow discord, making the Five Star Group internally anxious and everyone feeling insecure.

A sure win!

"Heh~~~"

The man drove away.

Jiu Jiu Wenlong returned home, opened the door, and entered.

"Wife, I'm back!"

Because his son (with Ma Jiaohong) was boarding at school, there was only his wife, Teacher Meng, and his daughter who would be a month old soon at home.

Teacher Meng came out of the room, wearing pajamas: "You're back... I made some soup; drink it, I'll get your clothes for a shower now..."

Jiu Jiu Wenlong hugged Teacher Meng: "Thank you, wife. Was our daughter good today?"

Teacher Meng showed a headache: "Feeding is hard, she won't be coaxed to sleep, she cries often..."

This daughter was clearly a demon baby, the kind that was very hard to take care of, so Teacher Meng's face had a lot of fatigue.

"Then I'll hurry and shower, then take care of the baby... And there's one more thing to share with you."

Jiu Jiu Wenlong thought of what had just happened and couldn't help but be happy.

He quickly went to drink the soup, and Teacher Meng had already gotten his clothes ready; Jiu Jiu Wenlong took the clothes and quickly went to shower.

After showering and coming out,

"Where did this money come from? 100,000 Hong Kong dollars is so much..."

Teacher Meng was tidying up the clothes to wash them, but when she turned out the pocket, she found the envelope, opened it out of curiosity, and found a stack of money.

Jiu Jiu Wenlong smiled: "This is exactly what I wanted to tell you... Someone wanted to bribe me, wanting me to be his mole and leak the Five Star Group's secrets."

Teacher Meng was happy when she heard this.

Isn't this just free money?

However, she thought about it and shook her head: "We can't take this money; send it to the Five Star Group tomorrow."

Jiu Jiu Wenlong nodded: "That's what I thought too."

Thinking of this, he called Director Guan Zu; no matter what, he had to report it. Although he believed Brother Zu would trust him, he couldn't take Brother Zu's trust for granted and be negligent.

The call connected.

"Hello..."

"Brother Zu, it's me, Wen Nuoyan."

"Oh, Ah Wen, what's up?"

"It's like this, someone found me today..." Jiu Jiu Wenlong told him the whole story.

Director Guan Zu was relatively casual: "I know. If they want you to be a mole, then do it... You can sell them some unimportant information... As for the money, split it 50-50."

Jiu Jiu Wenlong: "Thank you for your trust, Brother Zu."

Director Guan Zu laughed and scolded: "Bullshit, if you can't even trust your own brother, what's the point of living?"

The word "brother" directly moistened Jiu Jiu Wenlong's eyes.

Such a boss, I swear loyalty to the death!

Jiu Jiu Wenlong gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Zu!"

Director Guan Zu: "Also... don't just focus on work all the time; share the work, let your subordinates get busy... You need to read more and learn more, otherwise how can I dare to give you heavy responsibilities in the future? Now Ah Gang is reading books every day; you need to work hard too."

If you don't read, you'll be a gangster for life.

That man was right about one thing: others who have a good relationship with Director Guan Zu all hold high positions, while Jiu Jiu Wenlong has known Director Guan Zu for a long time but is only middle-level.

Why?

Because Jiu Jiu Wenlong's management level is poor; it's impossible to give him heavy responsibilities.

Jiu Jiu Wenlong quickly: "Yes, I will definitely study hard."

Director Guan Zu: "By the way, the little niece will be a month old soon; when the banquet is held, I'll come over to celebrate for her."

Jiu Jiu Wenlong gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Zu!"

On Director Guan Zu's side,

He was lying on the sofa at home, watching the first episode of the TV series "My Date with a Vampire" with Ruan Mei and Fang Ting.

That's right,

"My Date with a Vampire" had already been filmed by ATV in advance.

The female lead was still the long-legged Wan Qiwen.

The story of the first episode was during the War of Resistance, and then it came to the modern era. Innovative, fantasy, the content was still quite attractive.

However, Director Guan Zu's mind wasn't on this TV series, but on the phone.

Jiu Jiu Wenlong's call was already the 21st call he had received.

All of them said someone was trying to bribe them, intending to obtain intelligence from the inside.

There must be a force behind it carefully planning, and this force was clearly not coming with good intentions.

And everyone offered 30,000, 50,000, 100,000 Hong Kong dollars; this added up to over a million, which definitely couldn't be done by an ordinary force.

"Who could it be?"

Faces of competitors flashed through his mind,

Finally, it settled on HSBC.

During this period, Five Star Bank had repeatedly made HSBC suffer, causing heavy losses, so the motive for revenge was the greatest.

I have to say, this method was indeed powerful enough.

It easily caused the boss to suspect his subordinates, and mutual suspicion among internal employees, the united atmosphere would be destroyed, team cohesion would decline, and work efficiency would be greatly reduced.

Of course, for an ordinary boss, that's the case.

But for Director Guan Zu, it was just a small problem.

However, not returning a favor is not polite; since HSBC had made a move, wouldn't it be too unfair to himself if he didn't fight back?

Director Guan Zu called Da Tou and gave instructions.

A new day,

Director Guan Zu went downstairs.

"Eh, Brother Zu, morning~~~"

"Ah Zu, last night's 'My Date with a Vampire' was good..."

"That's right, I watched it too, it was good!"

"What's the name of the actress who played the female lead?"

"What do you want? Just watch the TV series, why ask what the actress's name is."

"Just asking~~"

Many neighbors greeted Director Guan Zu.

At this time, Ah Xing was complaining to Gao Gang: "Why? Tell me why? I'm at least Brother Zu's driver, and they only offered me 30,000 Hong Kong dollars; are they looking down on me?!"

Gao Gang held a book, his face cold, like Tian Tian Yangsheng: "That's right, they are looking down on you."

Ah Xing: "............"

That's not the answer I wanted!

Ah Xing saw Director Guan Zu and ran over quickly: "Brother Zu, I'm loyal to you; they only offered 30,000 to bribe me, they really look down on people... Brother Zu, why don't you make up the 70,000 for me?"

Director Guan Zu had a black line on his forehead and kicked him.

Ah Xing dodged.

Director Guan Zu: "Hand over 15,000 later!"

Ah Xing: "............"

A face full of bitterness.

Director Guan Zu came to the newsstand: "Uncle Chen, any news today?"

Uncle Chen: "Yes, related to the Five Star Group."

Director Guan Zu: "Hm?"

He took the newspaper from Uncle Chen,

Front page headline: "Shocking: Five Star Group senior management suffered large-scale infiltration!"

Content: "According to information revealed by unknown persons, the Five Star Group's rival company spent over 10 million to bribe employees at all levels of the Five Star Group..."

"This means that the Five Star Group's strategic planning, business layout, and even customer information are facing a huge risk of being leaked..."

Director Guan Zu took a look and couldn't help but bare his teeth.

An open conspiracy!

Well done, HSBC, you really kill without seeing blood, right?

Once this newspaper comes out, it will inevitably make the Five Star Group internally anxious.

Director Guan Zu didn't say a word and called Wu Lianqian: "Xiao Qian, notify everyone above department manager level in the group; at 10 o'clock later, meeting in the No. 1 large conference room of the Five Star Group building."

Wu Lianqian: "Okay Brother Zu, I'll call and give instructions now."

Hung up the phone,

Director Guan Zu waved his hand: "Let's go, back to the company!"

Soon, the three arrived at the Five Star Group building.

"Boss~~"

"Brother Zu~~"

"Boss, did you see the newspaper?"

Employees looked at Director Guan Zu worriedly.

Director Guan Zu had already felt that atmosphere.

Hearts were floating; everyone had seen the newspaper, everyone was worried, everyone was suspecting colleagues.

Director Guan Zu smiled and said to everyone:

"Everyone don't worry..."

"Believe in the cohesion of our Five Star Group."

Soon,

10 o'clock,

The Five Star Group middle-to-high-level meeting was officially held.

The number of people exceeded 50.

These 50-plus people, besides giants like Gao Jin and Ah Hua, also included a dozen of Director Guan Zu's brothers, and the remaining 30 were management talents recruited or acquired through company mergers.

At this time,

The news had already spread among these people; it could be said that everyone felt insecure.

Each looked at others with suspicious eyes.

And feared others looking at themselves with suspicious eyes.

If Director Guan Zu didn't hold a meeting in time, this suspicion would continue to increase, finally affecting the entire company.

"Clang~~~~"

Just then, the conference room door was pushed open.

Director Guan Zu, in a black suit, with Wu Lianqian, walked in.

All eyes looked over,

Once Director Guan Zu arrived, his calm aura radiated, and the unstable hearts of the many middle-to-high-level managers slowly settled down.

"Everyone~~~"

Director Guan Zu sat down,

His gaze slowly scanned every middle-to-high-level manager present,

Loyalty was all greater than 80.

Not bad.

Director Guan Zu's voice was low: "I suppose some people have already received the news."

"Just yesterday, I received a series of calls, all from employees above supervisor level in the Five Star Group."

"There is an unknown force organizing and planning to infiltrate our Five Star Group. They are trying to bribe our employees through money and other means to obtain information about our group from the inside."

A slight sound of discussion erupted in the conference room,

Director Guan Zu raised his hand slightly, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"As of now, 21 employees have reported similar situations to me, and this is likely just the tip of the iceberg. These people first promise to let employees provide some seemingly unimportant information, trying to drag our people into the water step by step..."

"However, everyone don't worry."

"I believe all employees love the Five Star Group."

"Just like everyone here, I believe you will not betray the Five Star Group; I will continue to trust you as always and give you heavy responsibilities."

"Also, if someone finds you and wants to bribe you, don't be polite; take as much money as they give you."

"Then report it to the company and split it 50-50 with the company..."

Director Guan Zu laughed as he spoke.

The executives in the conference room also laughed.

The tense atmosphere relaxed quite a bit.

Soon, the meeting ended.

The anxious management team finally settled down a bit.

Director Guan Zu returned to his office,

Da Tou and Shan Ji walked into the office with a file.

"Brother Zu, the information and whereabouts of HSBC senior management you wanted collected have basically been collected."

After Director Guan Zu gave instructions last night, Da Tou and Shan Ji joined forces to quickly mobilize and check the information of HSBC senior management.

Director Guan Zu waved his hand: "I won't look at it..."

"Directly in these two days, find suitable targets; one isn't enough, get a few more."

"Find the right time, kidnap them..."

Da Tou, Shan Ji: "Yes."

Director Guan Zu: "Pay attention, we've done too many things; don't use our own people this time."

Da Tou understood in a second: "Good!"

Shan Ji: "In the underworld, there are too many people selling their lives for money; it's easy to find them."

Director Guan Zu nodded: "Since they dare to come and provoke our Five Star Group, they must be prepared to pay a heavy price."

On the other side,

A club in Admiralty, brilliant lights, luxurious as a dream.

In one of the private rooms,

The elegant scent of perfume intertwined with the fragrance of fine wine.

Young Master Lin, Lin Jianming, was currently choosing concubines in the club with Young Master Li from the Li family.

Young Master Lin's tie was loosened recklessly, his eyes showing drunkenness.

Beside him, Young Master Li, wearing casual clothes that combined a sense of trend and exaggeration, his hair groomed to be oily and shiny, a smile carrying recklessness.

And in front of them,

Standing in front of a row of beauties, each with a graceful figure and good looks, wearing sexy dresses of various styles, either showing charming style or exuding pure aura, all of them were carefully selected top-tier dishes.

If you had to grade them, those beauties on Portland Street were at most third-rate.

And the beauties here were all top-tier.

Young Master Lin was famous for playing in the flower bushes and felt that the quality of these girls was not bad.

However, Young Master Li yawned with a face full of boredom and said:

"Brother Lin, although these girls are all very beautiful, I find them all very boring..."

"Hm? What does Young Master Li mean?"

Young Master Li: "I remember your Lin family has shares in ATV, right?"

Young Master Lin: "That's right, although most of the shares are in the hands of that Director Guan Zu, our Lin family also has shares."

Young Master Li's mouth carried a cynical smile: "Last night, I watched that 'My Date with a Vampire', the female lead inside, what's her name, Ma Xiaoling, I think she's not bad."
