When Fang Yuan finally reached the company, she breathed a sigh of relief. Upon spotting Wang Ning, she calmly issued instructions, “Call Manager Jia from the production department and the team leaders of Line 4 and 5 to my office.”

Wang Ning replied, “Yes,” and proceeded to make the calls. As he did, the employees in the office couldn’t help but indulge in gossip.

Ever since Fang Yuan had taken charge of the company, if anyone was summoned to her office, it never boded well. This time, she had specifically asked for Manager Jia from the production department and the team leaders of Line 4 and 5, which only deepened the intrigue.

Many employees curiously followed the summoned trio, speculating about the seriousness of the situation.

“President Fang, did you want to see us?” Manager Jia, a slender man in his forties with a somewhat malnourished appearance, walked in with a glint of cunning in his eyes.

The other two team leaders seemed uneasy, but they tried to maintain a polite demeanor and greeted her with, “Good morning, President Fang.”

Fang Yuan didn’t waste any time, promptly tossing her phone onto the table and playing a recorded audio.

[Sun, as the team leader of Line 4, how could you lead the rebellion? Whether you agree or not, you have no room for negotiation!]

[Manager Jia, President Zhao promised us hope. While we may not soar, well live without worries!]

Upon hearing the recording, Manager Jia and Sun Peng, the team leader of Line 4, turned pale. The realization that their private conversation from the corridor had been so meticulously recorded left them stunned. How was this possible? This was an off-the-record discussion. Could there be a bug planted in the building? Or did Fang Yuan eavesdrop on their conversation yesterday?

Manager Jia stammered in disbelief, struggling to find an explanation for the situation.

Manager Jia’s mind raced with frantic thoughts. He had confirmed that no one had entered or left the company premises the previous night, and the surveillance cameras showed no signs of deleted footage. The security measures were sound. If anyone had been present, they would have been recorded. Was it possible that someone had the ability to turn invisible? Or was the most plausible explanation that a bug had been planted?

However, Fang Yuan didn’t push for an immediate explanation and instead played another recording.

[Manager Jia, what if President Fang indeed visits the company and discovers our product?]

[According to President Fang’s ongoing investigation, it’s only a matter of time before ail our secrets are unveiled!]

[Do you think we might lose our jobs because of this?]

[If President Fang uncovers this, it won’t just cost him his job; he might even face criminal charges!]

[In the worst-case scenario, if someone were to meet with an accident to and from work, it wouldn’t be our responsibility… Just chalk it up to her bad luck.]

The room fell into silence as the gravity of the situation weighed on Manager Jia and Sun Peng.

Manager Jia was scared out of his wits. He was the one who said the last sentence. Now that Fang Yuan was released in front of him, his face was as pale as paper. He felt as if the sky had collapsed!

The other two team leaders’ legs were also weak and they could not stand steadily. They could not believe that everything they said in the warehouse last night had been completely recorded! They did not have the chance to quibble at all! It turned out that Manager Jia was not thinking too much yesterday. At that time, there was really the sound of a phone vibrating. Someone was hiding in the warehouse! But who was it? Where was he hiding? They had searched the warehouse several times. Not to mention people, even a fly could not fly out of their sight! How did they get this recording?

Manager Jia could not figure it out either. When he left, he deliberately changed the password. If there was someone in the warehouse, how did that person leave from the warehouse? How did that person crack such a high-end password system? However, if there was no one, what was with the recording in the warehouse? Could it be that there was a bug in the warehouse? The warehouse manager betrayed them!

“Wang Ning, call the warehouse manager over.” Fang Yuan’s words made the three of them even more uneasy. The onlookers outside the office who were eavesdropping were also shocked. Could it be that there was a problem with the warehouse manager? Oh my god, why was the management of the company so messy? No wonder the company had been running for more than a year and had not improved at all… It turned out that they had raised so many parasites and were drinking the company’s blood!

The warehouse manager looked to be in his twenties. She wore black-framed glasses and looked like a gentle girl. She did not look like she was in cahoots with them.

When she was called over by Wang Ning, she knew that she could not hide it anymore. Her voice was filled with tears as she shouted with a trembling voice, “President Fang…”

She appeared noticeably older than Fang Yuan, her demeanor betraying her unease in the presence of Fang Yuan’s formidable aura. Her legs trembled, rendering her unable to meet Fang Yuan’s gaze.

Fang Yuan observed the four individuals before her, idly drumming her slender fingers against the table’s surface. “Incidentally, one of our colleagues is conspicuously absent. Please summon the head of the procurement department.”

A hushed sense of astonishment rippled through the observers outside the door. Even the involvement of the head of the procurement department left them questioning whether any integrity remained within the management.

With all the relevant individuals assembled, Fang Yuan proceeded deliberately, “Now that we’re all here, please share the details of your collaborative efforts..”
