Chen Ze sighed upon seeing this: "These employees have no sense of belonging and are very easily bought off by others."
“Boss, the wages and treatment of people at the bottom are too low, so their sense of belonging is low. There’s nothing we can do about it unless…” Zhou Qianqian revealed the truth.
Chen Ze turned to look at her fair face: "Unless you get a raise, right?"
Zhou Qianqian nodded.
"It's Captain Yang's turn to work tonight. Have someone take him under control," Chen Ze said in a deep voice.
"Yes, boss."
After a moment's thought, Chen Ze announced his decision: "From now on, all employees of the Joyful Beauty Cream Company will have their social insurance and housing fund paid. The salary of ordinary employees will be increased to five thousand a month. As for how much per hour, you can arrange that."
Upon hearing this
Zhou Qianqian's mouth dropped open. She hadn't expected her boss to be so generous. She quickly recovered and hurriedly replied:
"Boss, this is a considerable expense. Although our company's current profit situation is not bad, this will greatly reduce the profit margin."
Chen Ze waved his hand, his gaze firm: "Our profits are already very high. A successful company certainly doesn't start by exploiting its employees' meager wages. Have you ever seen any large foreign company do that?"
Seeing the boss's firm tone, she stopped objecting. At the same time, she said with some concern, "Boss, what if other companies say we're raising industry wages? They'll target us."
He said in an unquestionable tone, "Ignore them. We're running a legitimate business. If we're capable, we'll make sure they get a raise too."
That afternoon, Captain Yang, who had come to work, was restrained by several security guards.
Chen Ze interrogated him personally, and at first he tried to deny it.
Seeing that Captain Yang was stubborn, Chen Ze pulled him directly in front of the surveillance video. When Captain Yang saw himself on the monitor, he immediately collapsed to the ground. He thought he had done something perfect, but he never expected that there was a surveillance camera in the monitoring room.
Chen Ze's icy gaze was fixed on the person in front of him, as if trying to see right through him, and he said coldly:
"Captain Yang, now that things have come to this, you'd better tell me honestly who instructed you and how much of a kickback they gave you?"
Captain Yang's forehead was covered in cold sweat, his body trembled slightly, and he stammered as he answered:
"Boss, when he came to see me, his whole face was covered by a pair of big glasses and a thick mask. I really couldn't see what he looked like at all, let alone know who he was."
"He... he just stuffed a wad of cash into my hand, a whole ten thousand yuan, and then asked me to delete a segment of the surveillance video."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ze's face grew even more somber, and his tone became even harsher:
"Hmph, what important video clips did you delete? I'm warning you, you'd better tell me honestly and clearly, without missing a single word, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless and sending you straight to taste that free state prison food."
These words struck Captain Yang like a thunderbolt. He turned ashen-faced, his legs gave way, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud, clutching Chen Ze's legs tightly. His voice trembled with sobs as he pleaded:
"Boss, I was wrong. I'll tell you everything. Please, please have mercy and don't send me to jail! I have elderly and frail parents to support and young, innocent children to raise. What will happen to them if I go to jail?"
Faced with Captain Yang's attempt to gain sympathy by playing the victim, Chen Ze remained unmoved: "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and tell me. As long as you do a good job that satisfies me, I can promise to let you go."
Next, Captain Yang recounted the entire story in detail without holding back.
It turns out that the part of the video that Captain Yang, the security guard, deleted was footage of Huang Nanlin sneakily adding a chemical substance that could cause allergic reactions into ten bottles of beauty cream.
Just then, a rapid cell phone ringtone suddenly sounded. Chen Ze took out his phone and saw the words "Bodyguard Lao Tian" displayed on the screen.
Without hesitation, he quickly pressed the answer button and eagerly asked, "Hey, Lao Tian, how's it going? Have you found any clues?"
Lao Tian's deep and steady voice came from the other end of the phone: "Boss, I just got some information from Huang Nanlin's neighbors. According to them, Huang Nanlin rushed home this time because his wife is getting a divorce."
Chen Ze frowned slightly, then pressed on, "So, have you found out why his wife wants to divorce him?"
Old Tian hesitated slightly before replying, "Reporting to the boss, we haven't been able to find out the specific reason yet. However, I do know that his wife's name is Yan Ya, she is 34 years old this year, and they are raising a son together."
Yan Ya? No way! Isn't that the woman who posted that vehemently criticizing beauty cream on Weibo a while ago?
Could it just be a simple coincidence? Or are they actually the same person? Thinking of this, Chen Ze couldn't help but frown.
He slowly hung up the phone, then reached out and gently rubbed the bridge of his nose, trying to ease his inner turmoil and unease.
He thought to himself: If this Yan Ya is really the same person as the one on Weibo, then this matter is probably not so simple.
Just then, a clear bell rang out, interrupting his thoughts once again.
He quickly picked up his phone, pressed the answer button without hesitation, and asked eagerly, "Hey, Lao Zeng, how's the information I asked you to investigate going? Any new findings?"
