Meng Yanchen took a deep breath, turned to look at Fan Shengmei, his eyes filled with determination and resolve: "Xiaomei, no matter how many difficulties lie ahead, we must get to the bottom of this." Fan Shengmei nodded vigorously, her eyes equally firm: "Yes, I believe we can do it. Now, let's proceed according to plan." The two exchanged a glance, as if drawing strength from each other's eyes, before turning away to focus on their new investigation. Only the sound of their hurried footsteps echoed in the office.
Meng Yanchen returned to his office and sat at his large desk, before him lay documents detailing the connection between the mysterious investment group and the industry association. He carefully perused the documents again, trying to find key clues amidst the complex information. The papers rustled as they slid across his fingers, each page carrying his thirst for the truth. After several hours of research, he finally discovered some clues—the mysterious investment group and the industry association seemed to have cleverly exploited ambiguities in industry rules to set a business trap for the Fu Group.
Meng Yanchen frowned, his fingers tapping lightly on the table as he pondered a solution. These loopholes in the rules were like thorns hidden in the shadows, threatening to plunge the Fu Group into trouble if they weren't careful. He knew that to break this deadlock, he needed the help of someone familiar with industry rules and influential. So, he picked up the phone and contacted a highly respected senior figure in the industry, arranging to meet at the person's office.
Meanwhile, Fan Shengmei arrived at the monitoring room of the Fu Group. She stared intently at the monitors, her eyes glued to the screens, which displayed the suspicious individuals she had identified. The monitoring room was filled with the faint smell of electronic devices, and the flickering lights of the surrounding screens reflected on her focused face. Time ticked by, and just as she began to tire, a suspicious employee from the marketing department caught her attention. She saw him furtively leave the company building and meet a man in a suit at a street corner. Fan Shengmei immediately became alert. Using the zoom function on the monitor, she clearly saw the man's face. After checking, she discovered that he was a mid-level manager from a competitor company.
Fan Shengmei's heart skipped a beat. It seemed this suspicious employee had close ties to a competitor and was very likely the mole. She continued to observe and noticed that after a few words, the suspicious employee handed the other person a file folder. Fan Shengmei knew this was crucial evidence and she had to inform Meng Yanchen as soon as possible.
Meng Yanchen arrived at the office of a seasoned industry professional. The office was simply yet elegantly furnished, with bookshelves filled with various industry books and materials. The professional warmly greeted him, and after a few pleasantries, Meng Yanchen got straight to the point, explaining in detail the loopholes in the industry rules he had discovered and the possibility that the mysterious investment group and industry associations were colluding to suppress the Fu Group.
The seasoned professional's expression turned grave upon hearing this. He walked to the bookshelf, retrieved several thick books on industry regulations, and sat down to study them carefully with Meng Yanchen. As he perused the books, he explained the evolution of industry rules and the potential problems they might present. Meng Yanchen listened attentively, occasionally raising his own questions and opinions. After a thorough discussion, they finally found some ideas on how to deal with the industry association's improper practices.
The experienced professional pointed to a passage in the book and said, "Although these rules have loopholes, we can start from here and avoid risks in a reasonable way. At the same time, we can also join forces with other affected companies to put pressure on the industry association, demanding that they re-examine these rules." Hearing this, Meng Yanchen felt a glimmer of hope. He looked at the experienced professional gratefully and said, "Thank you for your guidance. I will do as you say."
Just as Meng Yanchen was discussing countermeasures with senior figures, Fan Shengmei called, telling him that she had discovered a suspicious employee contacting personnel from a competitor and passing document folders between them. Upon hearing this, Meng Yanchen immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. He ended his meeting with the senior figures and rushed back to the Fu Group.
Back at the company, Meng Yanchen met with Fan Shengmei in the conference room. Fan Shengmei laid out screenshots of the surveillance footage and related documents on the table. Meng Yanchen looked at the evidence, his eyes growing increasingly cold. "It seems this mole has already started to act. We can't just sit here and wait to be caught," Meng Yanchen said. Fan Shengmei nodded in agreement: "I think we can lure him out by deliberately releasing some false information to see if the mole will take the bait."
After a moment's thought, Meng Yanchen said, "That's one way, but we need to be careful and not let the other side realize that we already suspect him. Tell me your plan in detail first." Fan Shengmei cleared her throat and began to explain her plan: "We can spread false information within the company about the Fu Group's upcoming major strategic decision. This information needs to be enticing enough for the mole to think it's valuable to pass on to the competitors. Then we'll secretly set up surveillance, and once the mole takes any action, we can catch him red-handed."
After listening, Meng Yanchen felt the plan was feasible, but the details still needed further refinement. The two spent several more hours repeatedly scrutinizing and adjusting every aspect of the plan to ensure it was foolproof.
As night fell, the city's neon lights shimmered with vibrant colors. Meng Yanchen stood before the floor-to-ceiling window of his office, gazing at the bustling streets outside, his mind racing. He knew that the upcoming plan to lure the mole out was a crucial battle. Success would expose the traitor, giving the Fu Group a head start in its counterattack; failure, however, would not only render all previous efforts futile but could also plunge the company into an even more perilous situation. Meanwhile, in the monitoring room, Fan Shengmei double-checked the surveillance equipment, ensuring everything was ready. A hint of tension flickered in her eyes, but more so, determination and confidence.
Will Meng Yanchen be able to find a way to deal with the industry association? Will the plan to lure the enemy out succeed? Everything is still unknown, and they can only forge ahead.
