"What are you looking at?" Linna noticed me staring and shot me a discontented glance. I couldn't help but laugh. "What do you mean, what am I looking at? Of course, I'm looking at my woman. Go on, keep talking; I'm in no rush to eat."
I chuckled, "Didn't we agree? I help Linna, and Linna becomes my girlfriend. At this moment, I feel like this arrangement is worth it—it's quite a sight! Men usually get a bit restless when they see a beauty like her; it's what you might call a tantalizing feeling, and I enjoy that sensation."
Linna's face flushed, but she didn't argue with me. Instead, she shot me another glare and plopped down on the sofa, asking, "So, how's the weather?"
"Not much to report. Just discovered a secret that could make me the general manager," I replied while changing my shoes with a grin. I admitted that I was showing off a bit, but sometimes putting on airs just brightens the mood.
"What?" Linna exclaimed in surprise, jumping up. "You found something that could make you the general manager? What is it? Tell me!"
Seeing Linna's excited and anxious expression made me smile. Showing off has its art; I settled into the sofa, crossed my legs, and said, "I'm a bit tired; can we talk about it later?"
I looked at Linna with a mischievous grin that was clearly suggestive. Her expression darkened slightly as she took a deep breath and then put on a bright smile as she moved closer to me, starting to massage my legs with her small fists.
"Is this better? Can we talk now?" Linna asked cheerfully. I chuckled again and replied, "It still feels like it's not quite enough."
"What else do you want?" she continued to ask with a smile. I took a deep breath as if contemplating and said, "Well, if someone could give me a kiss, I think that would relieve quite a bit of my fatigue."
"Ah! What are you doing?" As soon as I finished speaking, Linna slammed her fist onto my leg with surprising force, making my entire leg go numb!
"Xiang Dong, are you trying to show off? Do you believe I'll call your mother right now?" Linna squinted at me coldly.
I thought to myself: Fine! I've discovered that Tianchi is selling counterfeit liquor. I'm sure that's prohibited in your Tian Ye Group, right? I've only been investigating and gathered some evidence—definitely something that can be used as leverage against someone.
I honestly realized from Linna's threat how crucial it is to have a solid piece of leverage.
What? Fake alcohol?
Linna was taken aback, and I nodded. Lin Tianfeng despises deceit and has always held high standards for the quality of his company's products. It was no surprise that Linna would feel shocked and angry upon hearing this news.
This is outrageous!
Linna gritted her teeth and said to me, "Your discovery is significant, but this matter certainly isn't something that lower-level employees could decide. It must have been the General Manager of Tianchi who made this call. You can threaten them, but you should know your limits. Don't expose this matter; otherwise, you'll find yourself in serious trouble and won't be able to continue working at Tian Ye Group."
What do you mean? I don’t understand.
After being threatened by Linna, I felt a bit annoyed. Of course, I knew what she was saying—if this situation wasn't handled properly, it would lead to me offending Tian Ye Group, resulting in the consequences she mentioned.
Don't argue with me! Tomorrow, investigate a bit. You can do it this way: I estimate that every level of their hierarchy has its own little tricks, skimming off some benefits for themselves. You should look for evidence of them taking cuts and pocketing money; that way, you can blackmail each level.
Linna said this, and I raised an eyebrow. This girl actually thought along the same lines as me!
My guess was similar to Linna's; since these people love money, it’s only natural they would take a slice of it when it passes through their hands. But such matters are most feared by superiors finding out.
Although selling fake alcohol was likely a decision made by the General Manager, there were certainly others involved in the process. The Hall Manager at Tianchi plays a supervisory role and would definitely be involved. If I could gather evidence of him skimming off profits, I could use that to blackmail him into giving me a supervisory position!
Alright, you've got some skills.
I told Linna, genuinely surprised that this twenty-two-year-old girl could keep up with someone like me who had attended police academy and worked undercover.
Linna chuckled at my compliment and replied, "Don't think you're the only one who's studied criminal investigation; the school I attended is far superior to your little police academy!"
With that, she got up to cook, leaving me stunned.
She studied criminal investigation? Impressive!
But how could such an impressive woman spend her days cleaning and cooking for me? Wasn't I even more remarkable?
However, after finishing the meal Linna prepared, I felt a pang of disappointment—how could such an amazing woman cook so poorly? It was truly frustrating.
The next day, I arrived at Tianchi for work as usual, half an hour early. I figured Xiao Dao would also arrive early since he had just been fined for being late yesterday; I remembered how pained he looked when he received that penalty.
Sure enough, Xiao Huang hadn’t arrived yet when Xiao Dao did. Since there weren’t many waitstaff around at that time, I decided to hang out with Xiao Dao.
Hey bro, do you know where our alcohol comes from?
After greeting Xiao Dao, I directly asked him. He paused for a moment before shaking his head and saying he didn’t know; the delivery person came every day without him knowing where it came from.
I continued to ask if the matter of the wine was managed by Manager Wang Meng. Xiao Dao nodded and confirmed that generally, everything in Tianchi was under the purview of Wang Meng, the Hall Manager. Kong Jian was the supervisor among the waitstaff, while Wang Meng was in charge of the entire Tianchi.
After hearing this, I nodded in agreement. This meant my previous speculation was correct; Wang Meng was indeed involved in this matter. Linna had described Wang Meng as greedy, lecherous, and timid. If Wang Meng truly met these three criteria, then he would be quite easy to control.
As I tidied up, it wasn't long before the delivery vehicle arrived. Naturally, Xiao Dao was the one handling the wine delivery. I hadn’t paid much attention when they delivered yesterday, but today I had to take notice.
The person delivering the wine was a stunning woman accompanied by a driver. She appeared to be in her thirties, with an alluring figure. After the delivery truck parked, she got out with a receipt and headed upstairs.
She must be going to settle the bill! Aside from the bar, there was no accounting office in Tianchi; she was definitely heading to Wang Meng's office. At this time, the general manager hadn’t arrived yet.
I immediately pretended to have a stomachache, set down my work, and went up to the second floor. Since the restroom on the first floor was being cleaned, no one paid me any mind as I followed her up.
Sure enough, I saw that woman enter Wang Meng's office. I waited for five minutes; when she still hadn't come out, I knew something was going on! If it were just a simple reimbursement, five minutes would have been more than enough. The fact that she hadn’t emerged meant she wouldn’t be out anytime soon.
Sighing to myself early in the morning, I rolled my eyes and pulled out a cigarette to smoke. First, I needed to figure out if there were any discrepancies in the accounts with Wang Meng.
About twenty minutes later, that woman emerged from the office, adjusting her clothing and holding a thick wad of cash along with those receipts. I rushed out and clumsily bumped into her at the corner of the stairs! The documents and money fell from her hands and scattered on the ground.
“Ouch! Are you blind?” she yelled angrily.
I quickly apologized and began picking up her things while discreetly glancing at those receipts stamped with red seals.
Three hundred cases of beer? A total amount of fifteen thousand? But there was definitely not fifteen thousand scattered on the ground; my rough estimate put it around thirteen thousand.
What’s going on here?
Hearing the woman's shouting, Wang Meng stepped out and looked at me crouched on the ground picking up money. When she saw him coming, she stopped helping me gather her things, giving me an even better opportunity to check the cash—yes, it was thirteen thousand!
There was a two-thousand discrepancy in Wang Meng's accounts!
“Brother Wang, how can your waitstaff be so careless? You scared me!”
The woman spoke in a sweet, coaxing tone. I quickly organized the receipt and the money, handing them to her with an apologetic expression, repeatedly saying I was sorry.
