My Wild Wife in Shanghai

Wang Weiye took a deep breath and explained, "This matter concerning Chen Ye requires following procedures. I can't just dismiss him on my own. You were once a high-ranking executive in the group; don't you understand these things?"

"Oh, I understand!" Jin Taiyu nodded repeatedly: "The disciplinary inspection department needs to make a judgment."

Wang Weiye said, "Our Shanghai Group does not currently have a disciplinary inspection department. Issues involving employees violating laws and regulations are handled part-time by the human resources department."

"So, I've already spoken to the HR department about Chen Ye's matter. They will organize the information, verify the incident, determine its nature, and so on as soon as possible. This will also take time."

"How many days does it typically take for the HR department to complete the process?" Kim Tae-woo asked.

"It would normally take at least three days, but I gave the order that this matter is of great importance and must be judged as soon as possible!" Wang Weiye said, "Now it can be done in one day."

"Oh, oh!" Jin Taiyu counted on his fingers: "Today is Friday, and we're off tomorrow and the day after. So dealing with him won't be until next Monday! That's a three-day gap!"

"That's right!" Wang Weiye said, "However, the personnel department is just doing routine work and there won't be any problems. As long as Ma Qing doesn't recant his testimony, even if he's given thirty days, the outcome will be the same."

"Understood!" Jin Taiyu said, "I will appease Ma Qing and prevent her from causing trouble!"

"Hmm!" Wang Weiye nodded in satisfaction. "Taiyu, you did a great job. Once Chen Ye is gone, I'll immediately apply to the higher-ups to establish a Technical Operations Department, and you'll be the director!"

"Yes, Mr. Wang!" Jin Taiyu replied.

"Oh, right, I have something else to ask you to do!" Wang Weiye said.

"Please speak, Mr. Wang!"

"Today, have Ma Qing send this whistleblower email anonymously again. This time, send it to the entire company, so everyone knows about Chen Ye's 'misdeeds.' Also, deliberately add that Chen Ye was promoted by Chairman Bai, but don't make it too obvious. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand!" Jin Taiyu said, "We need to let everyone know that it was Chairman Bai who made the wrong choice in hiring!"

"Okay!" Wang Weiye nodded, glanced at his watch, and said, "It's almost time. I'll go meet the client with Chairman Bai first. You can go back to work!"

"Okay!"

Jin Taiyu walked out of the office excitedly, found a secluded spot, and dialed Ma Qing's number.

A moment later, Ma Qing answered the phone.

"Hello, Vice President Jin, what's up? Are you here to pay the remaining balance?"

"I'll definitely pay you the balance," Jin Taiyu reassured Ma Qing. "Come to the underground parking garage first, the usual place! I need to talk to you about something!"

"Cough cough cough!" Ma Qing coughed a few times deliberately. "Vice President Jin, I'm sick. I took the day off today and I'm on my way to the hospital!"

"Why did you suddenly get sick?" Jin Taiyu asked in surprise.

"I'm so upset because you haven't paid me the balance!" Ma Qing said. "Last night, loan sharks came to my door harassing me for their debts, and I developed a high fever afterwards! Vice President Jin, when are you going to pay me the balance?"

Ma Qing feared that Jin Taiyu might deliberately keep bringing up the issue of the final payment in order to lull him into a false sense of security.

"Oh dear, you're always so impatient. I said I'd give it to you!" Jin Taiyu mumbled. "I need you to do two more things, and I'll pay you the balance after you're done!"

"Vice President Jin, can I still trust you?"

"What are you saying! How am I not worthy of your trust!" Jin Taiyu said, "I need you to send another email anonymously, this time CC everyone in the group!"

"Huh? Hasn't this blown up?" Ma Qing exclaimed in surprise.

"Just do what I tell you to do! Stop talking so much!" Jin Taiyu said, "Being sick won't stop you from sending another email. It's just a small thing!"

"Alright!" Ma Qing said, "And what's the second thing you want me to do?"

"The second thing, I'll tell you in person when you get better and come back to the company!" Jin Taiyu said.

"good!"

After hanging up the phone, Ma Qing immediately called Chen Ye to report back, explaining what Jin Taiyu had asked him to do.

"Just do as he says, and send the email again. It's fine!" Chen Ye said. "The main thing is your side. You must do whatever I ask you to do perfectly. If you encounter any difficulties or unexpected problems, be sure to tell me immediately!"

"Okay!" Ma Qing said.

She took the high-speed train early in the morning and has now arrived in Hangzhou. She is taking a taxi to the hotel where he and Chen Ye stayed during their last business trip.

"Oh, right!" Chen Ye instructed, "Don't let Jin Taiyu become suspicious. You need to be his loyal 'lackey' so you can infiltrate the enemy!"

"No problem!" Ma Qing smoothed his hair, frowning as he said, "But isn't there another way to address him? 'Lackey' is such an awful term!"

Chen Ye: "... ..."

"You can pick any of these words: underling, henchman, helper, accomplice!" Chen Ye said. "They all mean the same thing!"

"Haha, alright!" Ma Qing said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Chen, I will definitely live up to your expectations and infiltrate the enemy's ranks."

"OK!"

... ...

After hanging up with Ma Qing, Jin Taiyu returned to his office.

I had barely sat down when the phone rang.

Upon closer inspection, it was a call from the "chairman".

Kim Tae-woo locked the office door from the inside, answered the phone, and whispered in Korean, "Hey, Chairman!"

"Any progress?"

"President, don't be in such a hurry, I'm working hard too!" Jin Taiyu said.

"Stop with the empty talk. The Neiyuan Dan is already on the market, and its effects are amazing. If we don't get the formula quickly and produce the same product to fight back, our market share will be rapidly eroded!" The chairman's tone was icy and sharp. "You must understand, our Ermei Group has always been a leader in the skincare industry. Our acne treatment products hold an absolute dominant position in the Chinese market. We will not allow anyone to shake our position!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Jin Taiyu said, "I have gained the trust of the upper management of the Shanghai Group, but there are still some problems in the department. I don't have the authority to view the research and development details of the Inner Yuan Pill."

"Then you'll have to figure something out. We won't give you much time!" the president said coldly.

"Yes, I've come up with a plan! I've trained an assistant, and I'm preparing..."

"I don't need to hear any of this. Give me the results now!" The chairman said, and hung up the phone decisively.

Kim Tae-woo took a deep breath and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

You should know that the "chairman" is a man who has connections in both the legal and illegal worlds. He made a solemn promise that he could get the shares.

If I can't handle it, I'll be in big trouble.

Taking a deep breath, Jin Taiyu calmed himself down and headed to Shen Qingqiu's office.

Each department of the Shanghai-based group is equipped with two separate offices.

One room is for the director, and the other is for the deputy director.

Jin Taiyu knocked on Shen Qingqiu's office door: "President Shen, are you there?"

"Enter!"

Shen Qingqiu said.

Jin Taiyu entered with a smile and said, "President Shen, I have a question I don't understand, so I came here specifically to ask you for advice."

"explain!"

Shen Qingqiu still wore those gold-rimmed glasses, spoke concisely, and maintained a cold, aloof demeanor.

"I am the deputy director of the R&D department. Why don't I have the authority to view the historical R&D records of drugs?" Jin Taiyu asked.

"This is a trade secret!" Shen Qingqiu said. "Even if it were you, I wouldn't be able to see it!"

"Normally, as R&D personnel, we've also signed confidentiality agreements, so we should be able to browse historical product information!" Jin Taiyu said.

"This is company policy. If you have any questions, please contact the company directly!"

Shen Qingqiu ignored him and continued working with her head down.
