Financial success and romantic happiness

Lin Chuan immediately looked curious, but he quickly closed the door and then walked to Zhao Peiling's desk, looking at her curiously.

Zhao Peiling smiled and said, "Lin Chuan, you've only been with the company for two days, right?"

Lin Chuan nodded: "Yes, Mr. Zhao!"

A cold glint flashed in Zhao Peiling's eyes, then she said calmly, "Have you heard that there is one or more moles in Workshop 1 who have been colluding with outsiders, leaking the company's production technology and related information, and that someone is stealing precious metals from the company's scrap for resale? Have you heard about these things?"

Lin Chuan immediately shook his head, saying helplessly, "President Zhao, I've only been working at the company for two days. How could I have heard of such things?"

Zhao Peiling continued calmly, "But no matter what, we can't let this continue. So, I want you to secretly investigate who's been leaking the company's production technology and information, and who's secretly trading precious metals? Are they all in cahoots?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan's eyes widened, and he asked, "President Zhao, you've chosen me?"

Zhao Peiling laughed and said, "What? You're not afraid to accept such a challenge, are you?"

Lin Chuan said, "However, I've only been with the company for two days. I'm worried that if I mess up such an important matter, it will affect your reputation."

Zhao Peiling chuckled and said, "I don't think so. After all, you haven't been with the company for long. First of all, you're very clean. Secondly, those who do bad things are less wary of you. Also, you're the workshop statistician, and you'll be in contact with many people in the workshop. So, it's best to have you do the investigation."

"Of course, I won't let you work for me for nothing. First of all, if you work for the company for three months, the company will give out quarterly bonuses. At that time, I will apply for an extra 20% for you, which is ten or twenty thousand."

"Also, if you do this job well, you will have done a great service for the company. I will put in a good word for you with the higher-ups, and you might get a promotion."

"Most importantly, you're working for me, which will strengthen our alliance. You wouldn't want to do something big with me, would you?"

Lin Chuan took a deep breath.

He quickly analyzed in his mind that Zhao Peiling had promised him a monetary reward followed by a position reward, which was quite generous.

Furthermore, Lin Chuan also had a feeling that the person who leaked the technology and filled the place with precious metals might be the duo of Chen Qiang and Zhang Mingde.

After all, Chen Qiang was the production team leader of Workshop No. 1, and Zhang Mingde was the head of the statistics department. He had access to some of the company's waste materials, and it was not impossible that he could use Chen Qiang to remove the precious metals from the waste materials and then sell them.

Lin Chuan understood that this was a golden opportunity for him to climb the social ladder, so he smiled and said, "Since there's such a good opportunity, why wouldn't I seize it? I just don't know if what President Zhao is offering me is just empty promises, and whether he'll actually deliver on them?"

Zhao Peiling gave Lin Chuan a reassuring look: "Lin Chuan, you are really careful and cautious. This is one of the reasons why I wanted you to investigate. You'll find out whether it's a big deal or not when the time comes. Besides, you have something on me. If it really is a big deal, you can retaliate against me."

Lin Chuan said, "Alright, Mr. Zhao, cooperating with you and forming an alliance will definitely not be bad for me."

Zhao Peiling smiled and said, "Yes, you must hide yourself when you are investigating. You must not alert the enemy. The other party is very cunning. I secretly checked the surveillance footage but couldn't find anything. So you must be careful in everything you do."

Lin Chuan said, "I understand, don't worry."

Zhao Peiling smiled and said, "Well, if you encounter any difficulties at work later, just tell me. You're working for me now, so I won't let you suffer any losses."

Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Peiling's eyes lit up with anticipation: "Then I'll wait for your good news, wait for your triumphant return!"

Lin Chuan nodded and said, "President Zhao, I will be careful."

Zhao Peiling nodded approvingly: "Okay, you can go ahead and get busy. You can keep in touch with me anytime. Remember, be careful and cautious."

Lin Chuan nodded and then walked out of Zhao Peiling's office.

But when he returned to the workshop, he encountered a problem.

Since the other party is acting so discreetly, where should we begin our investigation?

Or should we use statistics as a cover to observe everyone and see who has the tendency to be a mole?

Lin Chuan was sitting in his chair deep in thought when Wu Min suddenly walked into the office from outside, smiling, "Lin Chuan, where did you go? I didn't see you in the office."

Lin Chuan quickly replied, "Oh, my stomach was hurting a bit, so I went to the restroom. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Wu Min shook her head and smiled, "It's nothing, I was just asking randomly."

Lin Chuan smiled and didn't say anything more.

Wu Min couldn't say anything about him being an inside agent investigator.

No one can tell anyone about this.

In the afternoon, Lin Chuan continued to follow Wu Min to various workshops to collect statistics. Before they knew it, they arrived at the warehouse in Workshop No. 3, which was used to store some production waste.

The warehouse is huge, about the size of a football field.

Among the scrap materials scattered everywhere, you can see some precious metals such as copper wire and tungsten wire.

Moreover, only two cameras were installed in the huge warehouse, leaving many blind spots that the cameras could not capture.

While Wu Min was tallying up the newly arrived waste materials, she explained to Lin Chuan that once new waste materials arrived in the warehouse, they had to be tallied immediately and then reported to Manager Zhang for registration.

In addition, you must come in pairs; otherwise, if there is any unexplained reduction in waste materials, having multiple people together will provide some assistance in proving it.

Lin Chuan memorized everything Wu Min said.

Wu Min continued, explaining that in addition to Manager Zhang Mingde having a key to the warehouse, each workshop's production team leader also had a key. The purpose was to ensure that production waste from each workshop could be transported to the warehouse in a timely manner. Therefore, if any issues arose with the waste, the team leader of each workshop would be the primary person responsible.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan fell into deep thought.

So, if Zhang Mingde and Chen Qiang both have the warehouse keys, how did they manage to keep it a secret from everyone if they really were reselling precious metals?

After Lin Chuan and Wu Min finished their statistics, on the way back, Wu Min frowned and said, "Ugh, we've been running around all day, we're exhausted. Let's find a place to rest. We can't let Manager Zhang see us, or he'll make us work again."

Lin Chuan nodded, and he and Wu Min found a shady spot and sat down by the roadside. But they hadn't rested for long when Lin Chuan suddenly saw Chen Qiang leading two people, looking a little anxious as they walked in through the back door of Workshop No. 3. Chen Qiang's brows were furrowed, as if he had a lot on his mind.

If it weren't for Zhao Peiling asking him to investigate the mole, Lin Chuan would never have spoken to someone like Chen Qiang.

However, at this moment he wanted to test Chen Qiang, so he called out with a smile, "Hey, Team Leader Chen."

Chen Qiang immediately looked over at them.

Because the position where he and Wu Min were sitting was blocked by a pile of steel, Chen Qiang couldn't see them unless he looked carefully, but Lin Chuan could see the three of them.

Chen Qiang spotted Lin Chuan and Wu Min and asked, "Hey you two? What's going on? Slacking off again?"

Wu Min immediately retorted, displeased, "Team Leader Chen, what are you saying? We've been doing warehouse statistics for over an hour, we're tired, can't we even take a break?"

Chen Qiang grinned lewdly: "Look, even just joking, you're in such a hurry."

Wu Min turned her head away unhappily and ignored Chen Qiang.

Lin Chuan then asked, "Team Leader Chen, why aren't you busy at Workshop 1 headquarters? What are you doing here at Workshop 3?"

A hint of wariness flashed in Chen Qiang's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, replaced by a smile like a tiger: "No, I just came here on business. Okay, I'm not going to chat with you anymore, I'm leaving."

Chen Qiang was about to head into Workshop 3 when, unexpectedly, Hong Guangfu suddenly emerged from the back door of Workshop 3. Upon seeing Chen Qiang, he said without any politeness, "Oh, Team Leader Chen, another high-ranking official visiting the warehouse?"
