Chapter 456 Zhou Fengliu: I apologize, I'm too eager to improve... (First update)

Hearing Zhuge Qing's words, Zhou Fengliu nodded to indicate that he understood. He then glanced at Zhuge Qing again and asked:

"Old Qing, how's the workload lately?"

"Okay, Jay Chou, that's awesome..."

Faced with Zhou Fengliu's trap, Zhuge Qing gave a thumbs up, expressing how correct Zhou Fengliu's decision to assign him work was...

Now, his back doesn't ache, his legs don't hurt, and he doesn't even have time to overthink things. His inner demons have no chance to take hold...

Zhuge Qing strongly agreed with Zhou Fengliu's words, saying that he didn't believe Zhou Fengliu could be dissatisfied this time.

After hearing Zhuge Qing's answer, Zhou Fengliu stroked his chin and then said:

"Old Qing, I was worried that I would assign you too much work and was thinking of lightening your load, but since you're so busy... then forget it."

"Work hard... Lao Qing."

Zhou Fengliu patted Zhuge Qing on the shoulder and then walked out of the office.

"?"

Watching Zhou Fengliu leave the office, Zhuge Qing remained silent for a few seconds. As he gazed at Zhou Fengliu's departing figure, he silently sighed inwardly:

sloppy.

...

A moment later.

Zhou Fengliu arrived at Zhao Fangxu's office.

As soon as he entered the office, he saw Zhao Fangxu sitting on the sofa. His expression was unreadable, revealing neither joy nor sorrow, but his overall feeling was that something was amiss...

Something must have happened...

Zhou Fengliu made a rough assessment of the situation and then said, "President Zhao, you wanted to see me?"

"Yes, Xiao Zhou."

Zhao Fangxu snapped out of his daze and beckoned Zhou Fengliu to come and sit down.

"Mr. Zhao, what happened?"

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's question, Zhao Fangxu didn't answer directly. He simply adjusted his glasses and then asked a question that could easily offend someone:

"Xiao Zhou, you've been on the board for a while now. Who do you think is the mole on our board?"

"?"

Upon hearing Zhao Fangxu's question, Zhou Fengliu was taken aback.

Zhao Fangxu would never ask such pointed questions about internal matters.

He was somewhat surprised to hear such a pointed question so suddenly today...

Since the leader can ask such a question that is detrimental to unity, it means that the leader has already made a decision...

Zhou Fengliu paused for a second, then answered:

"Mr. Zhao, although I have only been a member of your board of directors for a short time, I don't know these directors very well. I've also been busy with the Nathan Island project lately, so if you ask me, I really don't know."

Faced with Zhou Fengliu's evasive answer, Zhao Fangxu merely glanced at Zhou Fengliu before continuing:

"Xiao Zhou, you are young, capable, outspoken, and decisive. Most importantly... you have a high level of awareness."

"At my age, I won't be in this position for many more years. I personally have high hopes for you..."

“I know your position is different now than before... When you were at the grassroots level, you dared to lead Zhang Chulan and the others to storm the Wang family... Although it was a bit reckless, you had guts... The company needs people like you who dare to take action.”

“But now I see that the sharpness in you… has been somewhat worn down.” Zhao Fangxu said to Zhou Fengliu.

"?"

Hearing Zhao Fangxu's words today, Zhou Fengliu pondered the unspoken meaning behind Zhao Fangxu's words.

Has its sharpness been worn down?

不 ...

His recent actions, whether it's Nathan Island, the Behemoth incident, or the internal board meeting of Nathan's, have all been within Zhao Fangxu's tolerance range; he's been very assertive...

Reflecting on his recent actions and recalling Zhao Fangxu's words just now, Zhou Fengliu roughly understood what Zhao Fangxu meant.

This is making him the bad guy.

Zhao Fangxu probably had a pretty good idea of ​​who the mole was... but the situation within the board of directors was very complicated, and as the chairman of NaDuTong, Zhao Fangxu couldn't be the one to pull the strings...

From this perspective, the implied meaning of those words becomes quite clear:

Xiao Zhou, the mole on the board, we need you to take him down... We need you to uproot the entire network. You'll handle the mess that will offend people, but I'll protect you afterwards...

Zhou Fengliu understood this point and nodded at Zhao Fangxu:

"Mr. Zhao is right, I admit it... I was too eager to improve."

"..."

Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu's reply, Zhao Fangxu paused for a second.

Too eager to improve?

Do you understand now?

"Wanting to improve is a good thing, but you also need to be careful not to lose sight of the bigger picture... I don't care how you behave outside, but within our company... you need to think of the company first, then yourself..."

"You know we have internal problems. What do we do when we have problems? We just solve them... We can't let them get bigger and bigger."

"Xiao Zhou, you're right, aren't you?"

Hearing that Zhao Fangxu's hints were quite obvious, Zhou Fengliu chimed in, saying:

"Yes, problems need to be solved. President Zhao has already given me so much support, I certainly can't let him down..."

In response to Zhou Fengliu's statement, Zhao Fangxu nodded, then stood up and took out two stacks of documents from his drawer, placing them on the coffee table.

"Xiao Zhou, don't think that I called you here today to criticize you. I'll say it again: I still think highly of you... I hope your future path will be smoother and longer..."

"..."

When Zhou Fengliu came out of Zhao Fangxu's office, he was already carrying two more stacks of documents.

He didn't linger in the company and went straight back to his office.

Zhou Fengliu opened the two folders and glanced at them briefly.

These are two files.

One copy is for the board of directors.

Another document... is also from the board of directors.

Bi Youlong, Huang Boren.

Upon seeing the names of these two directors, Zhou Fengliu pursed his lips.

...

These two are the suspicious directors selected by Zhao Fangxu.

Last night, Zhao Fangxu deliberately created a loophole, and it turned out that the people he sent to follow him had both worked for these two directors... In addition, his investigation over this period of time has narrowed down to these two.

...

Is it Bi Youlong?

Or is it Huang Boren?

After reviewing the confidential files of the two directors, Zhou Fengliu pondered this question.

One of them is a frontline undercover agent who worked his way up from the front lines. The fact that he became a director at this age shows that he is quite capable.

The other one, a thorough researcher, worked in the bunker for a long time before finally standing out and becoming the director in charge of research...

Let's talk about the suspicious points.

Both of them possess these traits and could potentially be brainwashed by Qu Tong, becoming her accomplices.

Because the "Double-Handed" technique modifies memory by changing cognition, it is not a problem for it to withstand the test of the "Wide Bench".

Although the original novel mentions that Qu Tong is an inside man at Na Du Tong, it doesn't reveal who that inside man is...

This forces Zhou Fengliu to devise a way to get the mole to reveal himself...

Chapter 457 Let the Traitor Pose Himself! (Second Update)

How to get the mole to reveal themselves...

This is a very difficult problem. After all, the mole has been hiding within the board of directors for so long without being discovered; they must have some self-control and wouldn't easily slip up...

Just as Zhou Fengliu was pondering, a phone call suddenly came through to his phone, which was far ahead of the others.

It belongs to Sister Ma.

Zhou Fengliu glanced at the caller ID and answered the call.

"Hello, President Qu..."

"..."

When Qu Tong heard Zhou Fengliu address her with such a cold title on the other end of the phone, she immediately lost all interest.

"What did you call me?"

"?"

Hearing Qu Tong's question, Zhou Fengliu glanced at the caller ID again.

Ok.
