Chapter 124 Hot-Blooded Company (12)
Xian Hai pondered Lao Cheng's plan over and over again. No matter how he thought about it, he didn't need to take any risks. Besides, the other party would lend him the props. After thinking about it, he felt that it was a win-win situation. So he nodded quickly, "Okay, I understand."
What Xian Hai didn't know was that Lao Cheng was not stingy with props; what he wanted to save was the number of times they were used.
After all, an item can only be used twice in a dungeon. Asking Xian Hai to help with the item was simply Lao Cheng's way of saving his own item usage for a more crucial moment.
After the two of them prepared for a while, Lao Cheng took Xian Hai to knock on Mr. Wei's office door.
The door quickly opened, and a round-faced man inside looked at the two new interns impatiently and asked, "What's going on?"
Lao Cheng carefully moved his position to block Xian Hai behind him. Xian Hai made sure that the distance for using the props was sufficient and quickly activated the props.
A system prompt sounded in his mind:
[The item has been used successfully, and the copying of all NPC information has begun.]
[Time required for copying: 5 minutes.]
Xian Hai calmly wrote a big "5" on Lao Cheng's back.
Lao Cheng held up his work equipment, swiping the data he had compiled on the projection screen, and said to Mr. Wei, "Mr. Wei, this is the information I have summarized over the past two days. These are the raw material suppliers who are currently qualified to supply us.
"I've discovered that the price offered by the Flame Rice Company, which currently supplies us, is significantly higher than the price of another company's glutinous purple rice..."
Before Lao Cheng could finish, Wei Zong said impatiently, "The raw materials of the Flame Rice Company are of better quality, so of course they are more expensive. If you don't understand, learn from others."
After saying that, he closed the office door, blocking Lao Cheng and the other two outside.
[Transmission interrupted, please reconnect as soon as possible.]
Xian Hai's hand, which was drawing the number "4" on Lao Cheng's back, stopped in mid-air.
He was in a state of panic. What should he do? Only one-fifth of the data had been copied, and he had no idea if there was any information that could be used.
Lao Cheng calmly knocked on the door of the purchasing director's office again.
The round-faced man opened the door again, his golden stomach bulging as if to express his anger: "If you have to fart, fart quickly."
Lao Cheng nodded and said, "I have compared the raw materials of the two companies. The raw materials of Flame Rice are indeed superior to those of Glutinous Purple Rice in all aspects."
Wei Zong crossed his arms: "Then why are you still talking nonsense to me?"
Lao Cheng said slowly, "But the raw materials of Flame Rice have one statistic that is far lower than those of Purple Rice. That is the content of natural cellulose.
"I have carefully read the raw material data requirements provided by the production workshop. Their requirements for natural cellulose are slightly higher than those for Flame Rice's raw materials.
“In other words, although the overall quality of their raw materials is high, they cannot fully match the raw material needs of the production department.
"On the other hand, although the raw materials of Nuojiji Purple Rice are lower than those of Flame Rice in other aspects, the natural cellulose content is higher than the latter, and each indicator is sufficient to meet the needs of the production department..."
After hearing this, Mr. Wei's expression gradually became ugly.
He moved closer to Lao Cheng, lowered his voice, and angrily said, "You want to die?"
Lao Cheng stopped talking and looked at Mr. Wei, whose eyes were full of murderous intent.
The round-faced man continued, "If you say one more word, I'll have HR fire you."
After saying that, the man slammed the door shut. Lao Cheng knew that this man would no longer pay attention to him.
Xian Hai was startled by the sound of the door closing. Seeing Lao Cheng turn around and return to his workstation, he followed him and reported the situation on his side in a panic: "Only 45% of the data was copied..."
Lao Cheng sighed, took the prop from Xian Hai's hand, connected it to his own device, and all the copied data was unfolded.
"If we keep talking nonsense to Mr. Wei, we'll be fired, and then we'll be dead," Lao Cheng said as he checked the data. "We can only see if there's anything useful in this data."
Fortunately, this item does not need to be copied to 100% before it can be viewed. You can also look through the information you have obtained even if you copy less than half of the data.
However, some of the data will be displayed in garbled form because it is only copied halfway.
Lao Cheng searched for understandable data from the pile of garbled codes he copied, and found that there was not much information that could help them.
Xian Hai also noticed that some of the data here didn't show any problems with Mr. Wei, and he murmured with some concern, "Did we waste a prop in vain?"
Lao Cheng curled his lips: "This conversation with Mr. Wei was not completely fruitless."
Xian Hai was puzzled.
Lao Cheng patiently explained, "He could have purchased cheaper raw materials that better met his requirements, but he insisted on purchasing more expensive ones. Why did he choose the expensive ones instead of the right ones?"
Xian Hai was somewhat familiar with this operation, as he had encountered it before at work.
After the purchasing department cooperated with Company A, it could have purchased office green plants from the other party at a unit price of 10 yuan.
In order to get kickbacks, the purchasing department employees helped them raise the purchase price to 12 yuan, allowing Company A to make an extra 1 yuan for each pot of green plants, and they also took a kickback of 1 yuan. In this way, the purchasing department could get a lot of kickbacks by purchasing large quantities of green plants.
They used this method in all the purchases of goods, and could make a lot of money without realizing it.
"Is it that by purchasing raw materials from Flame Rice, the stomach can always get a lot of benefits?" Xian Hai guessed.
Lao Cheng nodded. "I think so too. You know, Hot Blood Company gets raw materials from Flame Rice Company in units of hundreds of tons. That's no small amount."
Xian Hai's eyes rolled: "So there's something wrong with your stomach?"
Lao Cheng didn't nod, but continued to carefully browse the data: "This is just our reasonable guess, and we can't be sure yet. We need to find accurate information to support it."
However, even after Lao Cheng finished reading the incomplete 45% of the data, he still couldn't find any strong evidence.
Xian Hai's heart sank.
It seems they have to find another way.
He looked up and saw that Lao Cheng's face was not very depressed.
Then I heard Lao Cheng say, "It's almost confirmed. The information you copied is all data from Mr. Wei's office equipment. This way, my skills are not in vain."
Xian Hai was a little confused: "What? What skill?"
When Lao Cheng knocked on Mr. Wei's office door for the second time, he realized that he might not be able to buy enough time for Xian Hai to use props to copy the data in all of Mr. Wei's electronic devices.
Although he was reluctant, he still activated his innate skill "substituting one thing for another" and replaced Mr. Wei's communication equipment with his own.
At this time, he took out two communication devices from his pocket and said, "These are Mr. Wei's communication devices. If I'm not mistaken, one should be for public use and the other for private use.
"Let's check it together." Lao Cheng handed Xian Hai a device and began to check the contents of another device.
Xian Hai took the equipment and felt the other party's trust in him, and felt a little ashamed for a moment.
Shouldn't he doubt Lao Cheng?
Maybe the other party really wants to cooperate with me and pass the level together?
While Xian Hai was struggling internally, he began to look through the information in the device.
But I got stuck at the first step.
"This... this device has a password..." Xian Hai felt sweaty and a little ashamed.
Lao Cheng turned around and looked at the image projected by the communication device. After a moment of thought, he disconnected the "Full Copy" from his device and returned it to Xian Hai. He said, "Try to see if 'Full Copy' can continue to copy."
Although "Full Disk Copy" is a one-time prop, it can only copy all the information of an object.
But theoretically speaking, the copying was not completed this time, and the communication device in Xian Hai's hand belongs to Mr. Wei, so he should be able to continue copying.
Xian Hai placed the props next to the equipment with some doubt, but he didn't expect that the number above representing the copying progress began to rise rapidly again.
He looked at Lao Cheng in surprise. Lao Cheng smiled back and turned to continue reading the message in his hand.
In fact, Lao Cheng had already given up hope on the communication equipment in his hand.
It has no password and only contains some official messages, so there is probably no secret.
Xian Haijian saw that the value of the item in his hand stopped at 65% and no longer increased, confirming that the copying was complete.
Following Lao Cheng’s previous instructions, he connected the tool to his work equipment and began to check the messages inside.
After looking through it carefully for a while, he was disappointed.
Apart from some family group messages, daily contacts with his wife, and some express delivery information, there is no other useful information in this device.
After confirming all the information on his side, Lao Cheng turned to look at Xian Hai.
Xian Hai wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve and said awkwardly, "I don't seem to have any information here."
The smile on Lao Cheng's face faded.
Xian Hai quickly summarized all the content to him and showed the screen projection in front of Lao Cheng.
Lao Cheng was listening to Xian Hai's summary while looking through historical information, and suddenly paused.
"What's wrong?" Xian Hai asked in confusion.
Lao Cheng scrolled down again, clicked on a few express messages, and said, "There are problems with these messages."
Xian Hai looked at the message content:
【Arterial Express:】
【Your express has been delivered, please check. 】
"What's the problem?" Xian Hai was puzzled.
Lao Cheng clicked on another ordinary courier message and explained, "Look at this message. The sender is a long string of numbers with no remarks. The message content includes the courier pickup code, pickup location, and inquiries contact information."
He then switched back to the message in question. "Not only does this message clearly state the sender is 'Artery Express,' but the content is also overly simplistic, with virtually no useful information."
Xian Hai finally realized something was wrong: "Oh, that's right, this doesn't look like a courier message, it looks more like a secret code."
Lao Cheng quickly recorded the time each text message was received and compared it with the time the purchasing department regularly purchased raw materials in recent months.
He and Xian Hai discovered that every time the purchasing department transferred the money to the Flame Rice Company, this "Arterial Express" would remind Mr. Wei to check the express the next day.
Xian Hai made a reasonable guess: "This is most likely a message from Flame Rice reminding Xian Hai to check the kickbacks received."
Lao Cheng nodded, confirming Xian Hai's guess, and clicked on the specific number under the name of "Artery Express", and found that it was the same string of numbers.
He took out Mr. Wei's public communication device and searched for the number in the address book. He quickly found a contact with "Xiao Gu from Flame Rice Sales Department" clearly written on it.
It was confirmed that this was the Xiao Gu who reminded Mr. Wei to take kickbacks every time he received payment from Rexue Company for purchasing raw materials.
Xian Hai felt his body lighten, and he finally confirmed that there was indeed something wrong with his stomach.
He turned to look at Lao Cheng and said, "Now that Mr. Wei is excluded, the only one left among the six executives is Mr. Skin from the network security department. This means that the only person loyal to this company is Mr. Skin.
"Brother Cheng, what are you going to do?"
Lao Cheng raised the corner of his lips: "Of course it's better to strike first."
