Just a few days after the New Year holiday, the Chen family started to go back to work one after another after the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. Chen Qizhao originally planned to stay at home until school started, but when he returned to work on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Shiming woke him up early in the morning and asked him to go to the company.
By the time he got in the car, Chen Qizhao was still grumpy from waking up, and felt a little dazed. He has been looking at the information of the parking lot these past two days. Just looking at it is not enough, he also asked someone to check the social experience of the parking lot masters. However, after checking the social relationships of those people, he did not find out who has any relationship with Lin Shizhong and his relatives. It can be said that he gained nothing.
Chen Qizhao made eye contact with Assistant Xu in the front seat, then looked back at Chen Shiming, who started reading documents as soon as he got in the car: "What do you have to do with me when you go to work?"
"I've discussed this with my dad, and Feihong is going to hand over all of his power to you." Chen Shiming didn't even raise his head, "So you have to come to the headquarters after the New Year."
Chen Qizhao was puzzled: "Then why don't I go to Feihong?"
Chen Shiming: "The Feihong Rongguang project is a key project for the new quarter. You will have to go to the headquarters frequently. I asked Xiao Xu to vacate an office for you at the headquarters. There is the first meeting of the year today. You can go there and meet some people."
Chen Qizhao paused when he heard this. Chen Jianhong had told him before that he should go to the headquarters for training, but after thinking it over, he felt that going to the headquarters too quickly would make him appear too big a target, which would not be conducive to his private actions. He originally planned to wait and see.
But Chen Shiming's actions gave him a suitable reason to enter and leave the group headquarters...
Chen Qizhao thought for a moment, "Focus on building it? Have you considered the smart home issue?"
Chen Shiming glanced sideways. He thought Chen Qizhao would ask more questions, but he didn't expect him to change the subject so quickly. "Yes, we have already confirmed the partner. After that, we will ask you to sign the contract."
After he finished speaking, he observed Chen Qizhao carefully and found that the latter tilted his head to look out the window, as if he was just asking these questions and then passing them by.
In fact, he had considered this matter carefully before making the suggestion to Chen Jianhong. He did not completely think that the signing of Nie Chenxiao at that time was a coincidence, especially the consequences after Fu Yanyu's affair was exposed, which always made him feel confused. However, when he checked carefully, he could not find any connection between Chen Qizhao and Fu Yanyu's incident. One coincidence can be said to be luck, but too many coincidences cannot be said to be luck.
He felt like Chen Qizhao seemed to know something, but he had no evidence.
Soon, the car arrived at the company.
Chen Shiming still had to go to the office to prepare for the meeting, so Chen Qizhao came to his new office under the guidance of Special Assistant Xu.
"Second Master, if you have any other questions, call me."
Chen Qizhao didn't say anything, but just looked around the office. The privacy was good and there was no surveillance installed.
But just because there is no monitoring equipment on the surface doesn’t mean that someone else may have secretly installed monitoring equipment in the office.
Although it is not on the same floor as Chen Shiming and Chen Jianhong, the administrative office area can be seen outside the glass wall of this place. For Chen Qizhao, such an office location is indeed convenient for him to recognize people. Chen Shiming prepared this place carefully, and it was obviously prepared specially for him.
However, he did not ask directly but instead tried to probe everywhere, which showed that Chen Shiming was just suspicious without any evidence.
Chen Qizhao pondered for a moment, but another idea came to his mind.
As a keen potential teammate, what he should think about is how to take advantage of the current good opportunity to catch Jiang Yuze.
Jiang Yuze was so good at hiding that even Yu Jie, who had a close relationship with him, failed to drag him into the water. It can only be said that this person is very cautious in everything he does and never does it himself when he can use others. Chen Qizhao had noticed the announcement issued by the group some time ago. Many people were implicated in the Feihong incident. Taking into account the internal rectification of the Ruizhen Electronics incident, some of the names he was familiar with had been dealt with by the swift and decisive Chen Shiming.
There were also some people who had nothing to do with Lin Shizhong but affected the interests of the group and were cleared out.
After checking the remaining personnel list in the group, Jiang Yuze is still the biggest hidden danger.
Other senior executives have external contacts, but they are not bold enough in their actions. Lin Shizhong can only arrange a limited number of people, and Jiang Yuze may not have so many people. More often, he borrows interests or other means to incite others to do things for him, and quietly uses others to achieve his own goals. There may be many links in the middle, but in the final analysis, the biggest problem lies with Jiang Yuze.
Sooner or later, Chen Shiming will find out other problems and will pay attention to those who are targeting him within the group.
It is difficult to guard against external invaders. As long as Chen recruits people from outside, it is impossible for there to be no omissions, but it is difficult for these invaders to defeat Chen in a short period of time. In his previous life, Lin Shizhong's method of bringing down Chen was nothing more than creating multiple man-made project accidents in a short period of time, cutting off Chen's supply of goods, and thus putting Chen's capital chain into trouble. At that time, Chen Jianhong passed away, Chen Shiming was paralyzed, and the Chen family was surrounded by external traitors and internal traitors causing trouble, which led to their collapse so quickly.
But in the current situation, Lin Shizhong has lost a few years of planning, and some potential risks have been exposed...
After all, the most important person is only Jiang Yuze.
It was no secret that Chen Qizhao had entered the headquarters, and people within the company started discussing it that day. Chen Jianhong has only two sons. It has long been rumored that the former is excellent and the latter is a waste. Now the little tyrant of the Chen family has landed in the group headquarters, and there are external rumors that the brothers are not getting along. Originally, most people were watching. However, since the Feihong Rongguang project won a great victory last year, some people have begun to make plans.
Most of the senior executives did not think that Chen Qizhao played much of a role in the Rongguang project. In addition, there was also Chen Shiming in the Rongguang project and there was pressure from the conference room at the time. They believed that this matter could only achieve a perfect result with Chen Shiming's manipulation. As a good-for-nothing, Chen Qizhao's success in one project was mostly due to luck.
But no matter whether Chen Qizhao was lucky or had some ability, when he came to the headquarters, there were so many people welcoming him.
Chen Shiming's actions were too big. There were few people in the senior management who dared to say that they were completely clean. Although he did not collude with others at the expense of the interests of the group, he had done some things for personal gain. Chen Shiming has been in charge of the company for a long time, and it would be a lie for him to say that he is not uncomfortable. Now that Chen Qizhao has come, they are eager to see the two brothers quarreling and use Chen Qizhao to restrain Chen Shiming, so that Chen Shiming will have too much time to investigate this and that.
The meeting was held at 10 o'clock in the morning. Chen Qizhao entered the meeting room with others and met many people who greeted him along the way. He raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the enthusiasm of these people, sat in the back row of the conference room thoughtfully, and observed them one by one.
Of course there are many familiar faces, but looking at it from this angle, it is really a bit strange.
Chen Qizhao thought back to the days when he struggled after bankruptcy in his previous life. The Chen Group went bankrupt too quickly, and some people did divide the profits and ran away, but some of Chen Jianhong and Chen Shiming's old subordinates stayed to help him. Unfortunately, he was really hopeless in the early days, and he recognized a thief as his father, wasting some people's efforts... Now think about it, there is a reason why Chen Shiming was disappointed in him later.
But this life should be different...
Chen Shiming has come to this point, as long as Jiang Yuze is caught...
The routine meeting at the beginning of the year is nothing more than summing up the past and looking forward to the future. Chen Qizhao feels that his trip today is not in vain. At least some of the key construction projects within the group this year have been mentioned more or less in this meeting, which will facilitate his future planning, which projects to pay attention to and which projects can be promoted. It is also convenient for him to see what Jiang Yuze is doing.
After listening to several projects, Chen Qizhao ruled them out one by one, and he couldn't help but look in the direction of Jiang Yuze.
If his memory is correct, several projects should have started to be prepared at this time, and those projects were also among the projects that Lin Shizhong later operated...Except that some departments lost some pieces due to Chen Shiming's investigation, Lin Shizhong did not dare to make any arrangements. There are two other departments that have not been affected yet and are easy for Lin Shizhong to handle, but Lin Shizhong still has not made any arrangements.
Lin Shizhong became cautious.
He didn't dare to make large-scale deployments at this time.
Chen Qizhao seemed to be thinking, is Chen Shiming's move so big?
The old fox was so scared that he tucked his tail between his legs. That would be a difficult situation. If Jiang Yuze doesn’t take action, how can he find evidence…?
At this time, the PPT on the screen jumped to the next page.
A familiar name appeared in front of Chen Qizhao.
Chen Qizhao's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes stared straight at the project - "Shengming".
The Shengming Project is a transformation plan launched by Chen after acquiring Shengming Company. As a company that started out in real estate, Chen will face the impact of market factors and other factors in the future. Seeking transformation and expanding business has always been Chen’s development goal. Shengming is one of them, but this project is a big plan by Lin Shizhong. The preparation period of this plan is the longest. Since the time when Chen acquired Shengming, Lin Shizhong has been planning it, and it was detonated at the right time in the end.
The speaker of the meeting was still explaining, but Chen Qizhao's heart sank. Something was wrong. According to the timeline, the Sheng Ming project should be mentioned and arranged two years later... not now. Lin Shizhong launched this project plan after he had spread a large network within Chen's organization. Now that his pawns in Chen's organization have been torn apart, why would Lin Shizhong suddenly want to use this?
Chen Qizhao rolled his eyes and looked around, noticing that Chen Jianhong was looking at Sheng Ming.
Shengming is indeed a good opportunity for Chen's business expansion. Chen Jianhong originally had this plan, but acquiring Shengming now requires more money and energy than two years later. It is not easy to successfully acquire it. If he didn't want to use Sheng Ming to do something in the future... Lin Shizhong's idea of proposing this plan at this time should be to consume Chen.
Sure enough, after Sheng Ming, there were several more acquisition targets on the PPT.
Chen Qizhao became more certain of Lin Shizhong's plan. He did not dare to attack Chen directly, but instead threw several good hooks to Chen to consume him... so as to seek other opportunities for himself. After all, the more projects were carried out and the more mixed the personnel were, the easier it would be for him to place people there.
The meeting was still going on and several plans were mentioned one after another.
While the speaker was speaking, Jiang Yuze quietly looked towards Chen Qizhao's position. The latter was very careless. Even in such an occasion, he was only wearing casual clothes. His attention was not kept on the screen, and his eyes were darting around. It was unclear what he was looking at, and it seemed that he was distracted.
When he thought about his next arrangements at Chen's, he couldn't help but glance at Chen Qizhao.
Qin Xingfeng and Yu Jie fell on Chen Qizhao's side one after another. There are other things to do later. No matter what Chen Qizhao's character is, it is more appropriate to keep this person under his nose.
At this time, the Feihong Rongguang project appeared on the screen.
Jiang Yuze suddenly saw the name of the person in charge of the project, and his pupils shrank slightly.
"The preliminary draft of the Rongguang smart home plan is a key construction project for this quarter. The responsible party for this project is Feihong Electric, and the main person in charge will be handed over from Chen Shiming to Chen Qizhao."
As soon as the speaker finished speaking, many people in the conference room started discussing and all looked at Chen Qizhao who was sitting at the back of the conference room.
Chen Qizhao didn't even open the notebook in front of him, let alone the pen on the conference table. He was wearing clothes that were out of place in the conference room, and there were two holes in his coat, looking very unserious. At this time, facing the gazes of others, he was not at all restrained, and even opened a bottle of mineral water, as if this project had nothing to do with him.
Several senior executives frowned when they saw this, as they had never expected Chen Shiming to give this project to Chen Qizhao.
"There is nothing wrong with Rongguang's plan overall, but do we have enough technical reserves?" a senior executive raised the opinion.
At this time, Chen Shiming stood up and said, "Don't worry about this. Feihong Electric will cooperate with Shen's, and we will work together to solve the technical problems..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cough was suddenly heard in the conference room.
Chen Qizhao was choked by the water. After he recovered, he noticed the gazes of other people in the meeting room and glanced at Chen Shiming who was still standing.
"I choked accidentally."
Chen Shiming: "Are you done coughing?"
Chen Qizhao: "It's okay, just continue."
Chen Shiming: “…”
Some people looked at Chen Shiming, and seeing his furrowed brows, they became more certain of the rumors that the two were not getting along.
At the first meeting of the new year, Chen Qizhao interrupted Chen Shiming like this! ?
Others were still speculating about the relationship between the two, talking about the incident where Chen Qizhao interrupted Chen Shiming with a fake cough.
After leaving the meeting room, Chen Qizhao went immediately to Chen Shiming's office.
Several senior executives who followed behind couldn't help but look sideways, as if they had anticipated something exciting to happen in the office.
Jiang Yuze said to someone beside him, "Let's go to Chen Shiming's office and see what they are doing."
Chen Qizhao was choked at first. Who could have thought that for the Feihong Electric Appliance project, Chen Shiming would actually bring out the big Buddha of the Shen family. But he coughed the latter part on purpose. It would be strange if someone didn't suspect anything when the project was transferred from Chen Shiming to him.
He walked to the office and asked, "Why didn't you tell me about cooperating with the Shen family?"
"Isn't this something you knew after taking over the project?"
Chen Shiming said, "Did you not read the document I asked Assistant Xu to put in your office this morning?"
Chen Qizhao said calmly: "I didn't see it."
Chen Shiming: “…”
He sighed and continued to look at the documents, "Have you decided on a driving license instructor?"
Chen Qizhao looked around Chen Shiming's office and found nothing unusual, so he answered casually, "I'm still choosing."
Chen Shiming: "...Chen Qizhao, are you choosing a coach or a wife?"
"It takes you seven days to choose a wife?" Chen Qizhao frowned in disapproval.
Outside the office, Special Assistant Xu's hand that was knocking on the door paused for a moment, and he took two steps back after careful consideration. Instead of discussing with his boss and his boss's brother how many days it would take to choose a wife, he would rather stand there and try his luck.
"Xu Zhu, are you standing in the corner as punishment...?"
Special Assistant Xu: “…”
He saw the person coming, it was Xiao Jiang, one of Brother Jiang's men, and smiled awkwardly: "Well, stand for a while."
Xiao Jiang glanced at the office and heard a slightly louder sound inside. He nodded and said, "Good luck, I'll continue to deliver the documents."
Special Assistant Xu watched Xiao Jiang disappear from his sight. He caught a glimpse of the sympathetic looks of several colleagues at the secretary desk. He moved to the side, trying not to be too conspicuous. Finally, the noise inside seemed to die down. He straightened his appearance and prepared to knock on the door, but it suddenly opened.
When Chen Qizhao came out of the office, he saw Special Assistant Xu. He nodded to him and quickly returned to his office.
On his desk, he did find the plan proposed by Rongguang and the Shen family from a pile of documents, but this still required some preliminary preparation, and it would be difficult to avoid contact with the Shen family during this period.
He was thinking about sending a message to Shen Yuhuai to ask, and just as he opened the chat box, he suddenly saw the words "the other party is typing" appear at the top.
Chen Qizhao stopped typing.
At this time, Shen Yuhuai's message came over -
[In non-macro? ]
[-Zhao: No, Brother Huai, is there something you want to talk to me about? ]
Shen Yuhuai stopped at the door of Chen’s villa. He had just come out from inside, and only Aunt Zhang was at home. He got into the car and was about to type in his inquiry when the other party made a voice call directly.
"Hello?" Chen Qizhao asked, "Brother, are you near Feihong?"
Shen Yuhuai fastened his seat belt: “I originally wanted to see you today, and I thought you were at home, so I came directly over, but Aunt Zhang said you went out to work.”
"I came to the Chen headquarters today." Chen Qizhao paused for a moment and said, "It's in the city."
"So are you busy this afternoon?" Shen Yuhuai asked with a smile.
"I have time." Chen Qizhao glanced at the documents on the desk. He actually didn't have much to do. He came here today mainly for the annual meeting. This trip was not in vain, at least he had decided on the possible targets for Lin Shizhong's subsequent actions. Now he just had to focus on these projects and Jiang Yuze.
He just looked at the schedule on Chen Shiming's desk. They probably had several meetings to attend in the afternoon. There was no reason for him to go to those occasions, and Jiang Yuze would not do anything tricky in those meetings. Instead of wasting time at the company, it is better to go directly to the parking lot to take a look. As for Sheng Ming’s matter, we also need to ask someone to check the current situation in advance.
"Then send me the address and I'll come pick you up." Shen Yuhuai asked again: "Have you had lunch?"
"Not yet." Chen Qizhao noticed that it was already past one o'clock. The morning meeting lasted too long and it had come to this point.
Shen Yuhuai paused for a moment, then said, “That’s perfect.”
-*
After Chen Qizhao left, Chen Shiming continued to work.
There were a lot of files piled up on the desk. When Chen Shiming put the files away, he suddenly saw a folder. When he saw the words on it, his eyes suddenly changed and he immediately called in the person in charge of investigating the matter.
"What's going on?" Chen Shiming pointed at the words above, "Fang Chengjie? How did the investigation lead to this person?"
"Boss, Fang Chengjie is a detail we discovered when we were investigating Yicheng, mainly in Fu Yanyu." The assistant in charge of the investigation said, "Fang Chengjie is Fu Yanyu's financial sponsor, and has a part of the entertainment industry. He has a high status in the entertainment industry. But he quickly distanced himself from Fu Yanyu after the incident... We found out about this because Yicheng has been chasing Fang Chengjie recently. We followed Fang Chengjie's lead and found that Fang Chengjie was taken away for investigation because of suspected drug smuggling."
Chen Shiming frowned: "Drug smuggling?"
"Yes." The assistant continued, "It is said that the police found Fang Chengjie through investigating Fu Yanyu's drug use. Although Fang Chengjie cleared the evidence immediately, a lot of evidence was still found from Fu Yanyu's agent. Through Fang Chengjie, the drug-taking artist in the circle was identified. This matter was partly due to Yicheng's hand..."
Chen Shiming lowered his eyes and continued to look at the details in the information, and saw a familiar drug name on some of the drugs that Fang Chengjie was suspected of smuggling.
His eyes widened, and he searched for information about the drug online. The first word that popped up was "hallucinogenic."
This drug was the one that the attending physician had mentioned as an ingestible drug when Chen Qizhao was previously hospitalized.
But now I see it in the drugs smuggled by Fang Chengjie...
Chen Shiming asked: "You said Yicheng was behind this? Are they suspecting that Fang Chengjie and Fu Yanyu are plotting against them?"
"We are still investigating the specific reasons." The assistant thought for a moment and said, "But during the investigation, we heard a little news that Yicheng will confront Fang Chengjie. It was mainly because of the incident with Fu Yanyu that Yicheng's senior management received email information about Fang Chengjie."
The assistant finished speaking and noticed Chen Shiming's silence.
She stood for a while and asked, "Boss, do you have any other questions?"
Chen Shiming waved his hand and the assistant went out quickly.
He sat in deep thought for a long time, and finally left the office and went directly to Chen Jianhong.
Chen Jianhong had just finished a remote video conversation and when he saw Chen Shiming come in, he dismissed everyone else.
"Why are you in such a hurry? What happened?" Chen Jianhong asked.
Chen Shiming handed Fang Chengjie's part of the information to Chen Jianhong, who frowned slightly after reading it and also noticed the similar drug names. Chen Jianhong will always remember that Chen Qizhao was drugged at the charity dinner. The police have not stopped investigating since that incident, and the final result given was only the waiter's personal problem. The only answer seems to be the actions of the business competitor Yicheng mentioned by his good friend Lin Shizhong.
During this period, he did not miss any news about Yicheng.
It wasn't until he saw the information that he had another idea in his mind. His eyes darkened a little: "Have the police taken any action? Where are the people related to Fang Chengjie?"
"It is still under investigation and no other news has been released."
Chen Shiming continued: "Fang Chengjie did not disclose the relevant buyers of the smuggled drugs. The buyer would not be Yicheng. If it was Yicheng, they would not have anything to do with Fang Chengjie at this critical juncture, let alone assist the police..."
"Buyer." Chen Jianhong stared at the information. Thinking of Yicheng's recent actions, a terrible guess emerged in his mind. He closed his eyes slightly, but did not dare to think about the result. Veins popped out of his hand holding the folder.
After a while, he said, "It could also be Lin's..."
