Chapter 685: The Lu Family’s Business is Extensive
I was dumbfounded. I knew Lu Yuanqing was no ordinary person, but I didn't expect the Lu family's business to be so extensive.
I thought about COLLIN's upcoming design competition. The winners could join COLLIN's head office and receive public training abroad. I started to feel hesitant about reminding others.
While I was struggling with this, Xiao Shiqiu and Captain Feng had already reached a tacit understanding of cooperation. Captain Feng kept a close eye on Lu Yuanqing's actions in the country, while Xiao Shiqiu used his overseas resources to investigate the Lu family's overseas movements.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Shiqiu turned to look at me. Seeing my troubled expression, he came over, rubbed my head, and asked, "What's wrong? You look like you're constipated."
I slapped his hand away and said unhappily, "I'll give you a chance to reframe your words."
He smoothly switched to caring and affectionate mode. "What's wrong, baby? You look worried."
I rolled my eyes at him, but still expressed my concerns: "The winners of COLLIN's design competition can join the headquarters and can also go abroad for training at public expense. My classmates in the department regard it as a super promotion channel.
Now that I know the Lu family may be involved in illegal activities, I'm wondering if I should warn them?"
Xiao Shiqiu was silent for a few seconds, then shook his head: "Now is not the time. We don't have solid evidence, and rashly reminding them might alert the enemy.
Besides, since Lu Yuanqing dared to hold such an event in China, it means he has made all kinds of preparations. If we rashly tell others that his family might be involved in human trafficking, whether they believe it or not is another matter, but the Lu family will definitely sue you for defamation."
"What should I do? Just watch everyone get fooled?" I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, as if a stone was pressing on my heart.
Xiao Shiqiu comforted me, "Don't worry, we are just suspicious right now, not sure. This competition you mentioned is not the first one.
When I asked someone to investigate Lu Yuanqing, I also discovered some unusual situations in their company."
He pulled up a file on his phone and said, "Look, this is COLLIN's North American employee turnover data for the past three years.
I've had someone check and found that 25% of the talent they recruit through design competitions every year are transferred to their European branch within six months of joining them.
70% of these people’s social media accounts changed to updating them once a month after going to Europe, and after six months, this changed to updating them once every three months.”
I can hear something unusual here. It's not strange for a person to behave like this, but if everything is in the same rhythm, it will seem fake.
"Won't this arouse my family's suspicion? Also, why a designer? Does human trafficking also depend on professional qualifications?"
Xiao Shiqiu was speechless. "Do you think it's reasonable for a company to send its migrant workers abroad for training?"
Indeed, if this were placed in a recruitment description, people would be able to tell at a glance that it was a scam company.
"The reason they have been able to do this until now is indeed because they are cautious enough."
Xiao Shiqiu told me that some of the people arranged by the Lu family to go to Europe for training have returned home after the training.
In the eyes of these people, there was no problem with the entire European training process, and they were unable to stay because of their own abilities and skills that were not as good as others.
Those who are capable stayed with high salaries. According to the information we have learned, most of those who stayed in Europe left after a year and were poached by their peers with high salaries.
As for various accidents that occur after leaving the company, such as car accidents, drowning, sudden death, etc., they have nothing to do with COLLIN.
Even COLLIN felt aggrieved because they had trained talented people, but they ended up jumping ship.
So which companies did those who left join go to? No one knows, and even less so, how much money they earned. God knows how difficult it is to defend your rights across borders.
Xiao Shiqiu said solemnly, "Actually, what struck me as unusual about COLLIN at first was their recruitment physical examination system."
Generally, companies go through the recruitment process first and only ask the other party to undergo a physical examination after confirming the employment.
The Lu family’s company must first go to a designated institution for a physical examination before it is eligible to register.
Even the competitions they organize require a physical examination before participating, because they are worried about sudden illness during the competition.
Since the company paid for it, everyone thought the free physical examination was a benefit, so no one cared about this detail.
I didn't expect the Lu family's methods to be so meticulous that they almost blocked all possible loopholes.
My face turned pale when I heard that. "It's over. When we registered for the competition, we all went for physical examinations and had our blood drawn."
"Don't worry, I'll discuss this with Captain Feng. We can't just sit there and watch them continue to harm people. We..."
Before Xiao Shiqiu could finish his words, the doorbell rang.
"Cousin, open the door~" Tang Yi's voice came from outside the door.
It goes without saying that this guy must have discovered that not only was Huang Tianyi not there, but he had also moved all his things away, so he came to me to ask for information.
Xiao Shiqiu looked at me, and when he saw me nod at him, he walked over slowly to open the door.
Tang Yi rushed in with an anxious look on his face, holding a cell phone in his hand. The phone showed that he was calling Huang Tianyi's number, but no one answered.
After he entered the room, he didn't even glance at Xiao Shiqiu. He asked me anxiously, "Sister-in-law, where did Xiaoyi move to? Why did she block me?"
I glared at him with dismay and said unhappily, "How dare you come back? You went to Country M on a business trip and you're almost settling down there. You already have a wife and kids, and all you need is a warm bed."
Tang Yi was so anxious that he almost stuttered, "Sister-in-law, nothing happened between Su Yao and me..."
Xiao Shiqiu also spoke coldly: "What's the point of you saying this now? Your girlfriend has moved away, what were you doing before?"
Tang Yi stamped his feet anxiously, his eyes red. "I was really wrong. I shouldn't have listened to my mother and stayed with Su Yao. I only found out after the rumors spread online. Alas, I clearly explained to her that nothing happened between Su Yao and me, so why didn't she believe me?"
I still looked at him with a cold face, "Why should I believe you? You said nothing happened, so it didn't happen? Then how did Su Yao get pregnant?" I remembered what Huang Tianyi said about his "remote seeding", but I was embarrassed to say it.
But he still argued with Huang Tianyi, "Su Yao got pregnant with Jesus just by lying with you all night?"
Tang Yi said angrily: "What coconut and peach pastry? Su Yao is not pregnant at all. She is just pretending and teamed up with my mother to trick me into submission.
It's really unlucky. Don't mention the word "Su" to me anymore. It gives me a headache just hearing it."
Xiao Shiqiu added coldly: "Talk to Su Yi about this."
