Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei returned to the whiteboard. Meng Yanchen picked up a pen and circled several key clues on the whiteboard. "Xiaomei, let's start from here and unravel the mystery step by step." Fan Shengmei nodded, her eyes resolute. The two once again immersed themselves in the tense analysis of the clues. The only sounds in the office were their hushed discussions and the sound of pens scratching on the whiteboard. The road ahead remained full of unknowns and challenges.
Meng Yanchen pointed to the clues related to the old forces in the industry association on the whiteboard and spoke first: "Xiaomei, the industry association maintains industry order on the surface, but in reality, some old forces are causing trouble in the dark. Let's start by investigating their relationship with the mysterious investment group." Fan Shengmei frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said: "That's right, these old forces certainly won't help the mysterious investment group for no reason. There must be huge interests driving them behind the scenes."
Meng Yanchen sat back down at his desk, quickly turned on his computer, and his fingers flew across the keyboard as he searched for various documents. Fan Shengmei stood beside the whiteboard, carefully examining each entry, trying to find hidden connections. A tense atmosphere filled the air, broken only by the hum of the computer fan and the occasional whispers between the two.
"Found it!" Meng Yanchen exclaimed excitedly, and Fan Shengmei quickly leaned closer. The computer screen displayed an industry report mentioning several projects that had business dealings with the mysterious investment group, and behind these projects, the shadow of the old guard of the industry associations was faintly visible. Meng Yanchen pointed to the information on the screen and analyzed, "Look, these projects appear to be normal business collaborations on the surface, but the flow of funds is highly suspicious. It's very likely that the old guard of the industry associations is using their influence to provide convenience for the mysterious investment group, thereby obtaining high returns."
Following Meng Yanchen's line of thought, Fan Shengmei added, "Furthermore, they can leverage their position in the industry association to provide industry information to the mysterious investment group, giving them a competitive edge." Meng Yanchen nodded in agreement, "That's right, that's one of their methods of cooperation. But we still need to find more conclusive evidence to prove their collusion."
Over the next few hours, Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei continued to dig deeper into the clues. Meng Yanchen used his connections in the business world to contact people who had previously been in contact with the old guard of the industry association, trying to extract more information from them. Fan Shengmei, on the other hand, focused on analyzing the available materials, integrating all the information related to the industry association and the mysterious investment group.
As the investigation deepened, they uncovered more details. It turned out that the old guard within the industry associations provided the mysterious investment group with industry information and cover, helping it evade regulation. They also exerted influence during the bidding process for key projects, ensuring the mysterious investment group won bids. In return, the mysterious investment group used its funds and resources to help the old guard suppress competitors and consolidate their position within the industry.
“It seems their cooperation has formed a complete chain of interests.” Meng Yanchen leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples, tired but his eyes still firm. Fan Shengmei looked at the clues outlined on the whiteboard, a wave of worry washing over her: “But how can we break this deadlock? Their relationship is so close, finding a breakthrough won’t be easy.”
Just then, Fan Shengmei suddenly remembered her investigation within the company. She returned to her seat, turned on her computer, and reviewed the information she had previously collected about the company's employees. After careful screening and analysis, her focus shifted to Li Qiang, an employee in the marketing department.
Fan Shengmei pointed at the computer screen and said to Meng Yanchen, "Yanchen, look at this Li Qiang. His behavior has been very suspicious lately. He's been frequently contacting outsiders, and his whereabouts have been strange before and after some events related to my identity. I suspect he's involved in the investigation of my identity." Meng Yanchen leaned closer and carefully examined Li Qiang's information, his expression turning serious.
“Based on these clues, he is indeed highly suspicious. But we can’t conclude that he’s the key figure based on these alone. We need to investigate further and collect more evidence,” Meng Yanchen said. Fan Shengmei nodded. “I understand. I’ve already arranged for people to secretly monitor his every move. Let’s see if we can find more clues from him and uncover the truth behind it all.”
Meng Yanchen stood up, walked to the window, and gazed at the bustling city streets outside, lost in thought. Fan Shengmei walked to his side and said softly, "Yanchen, although the situation is complicated right now, I believe we can definitely find a solution." Meng Yanchen turned to look at Fan Shengmei, his eyes filled with trust and encouragement: "Yes, let's work together. As long as we stay calm and unravel the mystery step by step, we will definitely be able to break through the current predicament."
As dusk settled, the office lights shone brightly. Meng Yanchen and Fan Shengmei stood by the window, encouraging each other and gathering their strength for the investigation to come. They both knew that whether the identified employee, Li Qiang, was the key figure, and how to use these discoveries to break through their current predicament, were all still unknowns, waiting for them to uncover the truth.
