Chapter 271 Xiao Yue's Investigation: Preliminary Investigation into Confidential Leaks
Shen Ting stood up suddenly, his face ashen, and squeezed out each word from between his teeth: "Secrets have been leaked, resulting in heavy losses!" The voice on the other end of the phone was buzzing, but it exploded in Xiao Yue's ears like thunder.
The air in the office froze instantly, feeling suffocating.
Xiao Yue's heart sank suddenly, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
She paused flipping through the documents, her eyes falling on the thick stacks of information. The densely packed text seemed to have turned into a huge net, tightly entangling her.
Three months, only three months to recover the losses and find the leaker, which is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Xiao Yue rubbed his aching temples and felt dizzy.
This is not just a simple leak of business secrets, but a conspiracy against the Xiao family, with one link after another and a step-by-step tightening of control.
Xiao Yue took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.
She must act quickly to find out who is behind this, protect the Xiao family, and also protect Shen Ting.
"Director Gao, regarding the leak of confidential information..." Xiao Yue knocked on Director Gao's office door, trying to speak in a calm tone.
However, what greeted her was a disdainful glance and an impatient tone from the senior manager: "Ms. Xiao, are you questioning my ability to do my job? I'm telling you, there's absolutely no chance of leaks in the department I manage!"
"I just want to understand some of the circumstances and cooperate with the investigation..." Xiao Yue explained patiently.
"Investigation? I think you're just looking for trouble!" Director Gao slammed the table, the flesh on his fat face trembling. "It's not your turn to dictate company affairs! Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're close to Mr. Shen!"
A surge of anger surged in Xiao Yue's heart, but she tried to restrain herself, her tone remaining calm: "Director Gao, the leak is of great importance. I hope you can cooperate with me."
"Cooperate? Why should I cooperate with you? What business secrets do you, a little girl, know?" The senior manager snorted disdainfully and ordered her to leave. "Get out! Don't disturb me while I'm working!"
Xiao Yue clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh.
She looked at Director Gao deeply, then turned and left.
The office door slammed shut behind her with a loud bang, as if announcing the difficulty of this investigation.
Back in his office, Xiao Yue leaned weakly on the back of his chair and closed his eyes.
The obstruction from the senior executive is just the beginning. Next, she will face even greater challenges...
"Knock knock knock..." There was a knock on the door. Xiao Yue thought it was the senior manager who had changed his mind, so he forced himself to say, "Come in."
The door opened and the person who came in was Shen Ting.
He was holding an exquisite snack box in his hand, with a barely perceptible tenderness on his face.
"You didn't look well, so I brought you your favorite matcha cake." He placed the snack box on Xiao Yue's desk, his tone as gentle as the spring breeze.
Xiao Yue was stunned for a moment, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
She opened the snack box, and the rich aroma of matcha filled her nose. At the bottom of the box, there was a small note with five powerful words written on it: "Come on, I'm always here." These few short words were like a shot of adrenaline, instantly dispelling the fatigue and powerlessness in her heart.
She raised her head and met Shen Ting's deep gaze.
"Thank you, Shen Ting." Xiao Yue's voice was a little choked.
Shen Ting gently rubbed her hair, gave her an encouraging look, then turned and left the office.
He knew that Xiao Yue needed time and space to process all this.
After Shen Ting left, Xiao Yue immediately cheered up and began to investigate.
She first found Secretary Ma, hoping to get some clues from her.
Secretary Ma is cautious and careful, and knows the company's situation very well.
"Secretary Ma, has there been any unusual situation in the company recently?" Xiao Yue asked straight to the point.
Secretary Ma paused for a moment, then said, "Employee Zhao's behavior has indeed been somewhat unusual recently. He frequently enters and leaves the company outside of working hours, and he's always acting mysteriously."
Employee Zhao?
Xiao Yue's heart moved. She was not unfamiliar with this name.
Employee Zhao is an ordinary employee of the company. His performance is mediocre and there is nothing special about him.
Could it be that he was really the one who leaked the information?
Xiao Yue decided to secretly investigate Zhao employee.
As night fell, Xiao Yue quietly came to the company.
She hid in the dark, observing Employee Zhao's every move.
Employee Zhao came to the company door stealthily, looked around, then took out a note from his pocket and stuffed it into the crack of the door.
After doing all this, he quickly left the company.
Xiao Yue's heartbeat suddenly quickened. She had a premonition that there must be some important clues hidden in this note.
She quickly stepped forward and took out the note. In the dim light, she saw a few words on the note: "See you tomorrow night at the same place."
"The old place?" Xiao Yue muttered to himself, a gleam in his eyes, "Looks like there's going to be something interesting to watch..."
Xiao Yue's movements were as silent as the night. She followed Employee Zhao all the way to a hidden bar.
Under the dim light, Employee Zhao met a figure. Although it was just a flash, Xiao Yue keenly caught the face - Liu Dui!
They were talking in low voices with furtive expressions. Xiao Yue was shocked. It seemed that his guess was correct. Employee Zhao was indeed colluding with competitors!
She did not act rashly, but left the bar calmly.
After returning home, Xiao Yue immediately contacted Detective Huang and informed him of his findings tonight.
Detective Huang was experienced and immediately understood Xiao Yue's intention: "Ms. Xiao, you want to indirectly confirm Zhao's suspicion by investigating the people who have contact with him, right?"
"That's right." Xiao Yue's voice was firm and calm. "I need solid evidence to silence Director Gao."
Detective Huang took the order and left, while Xiao Yue began to sort out the existing clues.
Employee Zhao, opponent Liu, supervisor Gao...
What is the connection between these people?
She always felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.
The next day, Xiao Yue came to the company and started his daily work as if nothing had happened.
However, secretly, she kept a close eye on Employee Zhao's every move.
During the lunch break, employee Zhao received a phone call and hurriedly left the company. Xiao Yue followed him calmly.
Employee Zhao came to a cafe and met a strange man.
Xiao Yue found a secluded place to sit down and listened to their conversation with his ears perked up.
I only heard Employee Zhao lower his voice and say, "How's it going?"
"Don't worry, everything's going well," the stranger replied. "We've already taken care of it with the senior management. No one will suspect you."
Senior Boss!
Xiao Yue's heart trembled. Sure enough, the senior manager was also involved!
She took out her cell phone and secretly recorded their conversation.
At the same time, news came from Detective Huang.
He found out that Zhao had been in frequent contact with people from Liu's rival company recently, and that a large amount of unknown funds had flowed into his account.
unambiguous evidence!
A sneer appeared in Xiao Yue's mouth, Director Gao, let's see what you have to say this time!
At this moment, Director Gao suddenly appeared behind Xiao Yue. He stared at her gloomily with a cold tone, "Xiao Yue, what are you doing?"
Xiao Yue slowly turned around, his gaze sharp as a knife, staring directly into Director Gao's eyes, and said word by word: "Director Gao, I think we need to have a good talk..."
