It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

When he met her gaze, Xu Shi seemed quite calm, and did not look like his plan had failed.

He just gave Tang Shuang a look, then gently pressed his hand, signaling her not to be anxious.

It was at this time that an inappropriate voice was heard not far away.

"What about me? Am I qualified enough to take this old bastard away?"

Chapter 40 This is the knife I borrowed

Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.

The person who was speaking had a lot of energy, and when he appeared in front of everyone, he looked quite elegant.

He was wearing an exquisite tuxedo and white gloves, had a weathered and resolute face, and had his hair combed neatly back.

He was the only person who came, but Su Lin was there to guide him personally.

This was a treatment that Tang Shuang had never enjoyed, and it was enough to show that Xu Shi had great respect for this middle-aged man.

Seeing him coming, Xu Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Wenhua and Jiang Fengshan on the side were a little confused and even showed a little nervousness.

"You are... Mr. Ning Wei, the secretary of the chairman of the "Quillen" Group?"

Tang Shuang was equally curious and pointed out the identity of the visitor.

"It's me, nice to meet you all."

The man named Ning Wei bowed slightly and greeted everyone, "Excuse me."

"Quillen", one of the six major financial groups.

He is also a very special existence among them.

Among the six major conglomerates, "Snake Ring" and "Shark Tooth" are both top military-industrial enterprises, and "Prism" stands out in the field of biomedicine.

"Imaginary Numbers" controls all kinds of media, while "Dragon City" is the behind-the-scenes overlord of Sin City.

It can be said that these five consortiums have encompassed every aspect of people’s lives in Night Crime City.

Compared with them, "Quillen" is much more low-key, so much so that many people can't remember for a moment when taking inventory, who is that other company?

The industry they are engaged in is equally special - since the establishment of this consortium, it has been committed to preserving various types of documentary materials in various fields, covering everything from ancient times to the present.

Therefore, they possess the largest information database in Night Sin City, and even the smallest things can be found here.

They also have a number of foundations under their jurisdiction to encourage talents who have made outstanding contributions in this area.

This kind of incentive is not differentiated by wealth or status. Even if one comes from a poor family, if one can provide meaningful literature or publish valuable academic research, he or she may be able to soar to the sky and become a phoenix.

This can be said to be very people-friendly, and it is also the only hope for many people at the bottom of society who want to get ahead.

"Oh, this is really lively, huh?"

Xu Shi pretended to be surprised, "First it was the Inspection Bureau, and now it's the "Quill Pen"... Secretary Ning, what are you doing here?"

"That's right, Chairman Xu."

Ning Wei looked at him and said respectfully and calmly, "Some time ago, our company received a report that Mr. Jiang Fengshan, the head of your company's engineering department, was suspected of committing fraud in a foundation under our company, with a total amount of about four million."

"Director Wen was very angry when he heard about this, so he sent me to negotiate with you. I hope you can remain fair and hand him over to us for disposal without partiality."

"Of course, we will follow the formal procedures and have filed a lawsuit with the Inspection Bureau and the Tribunal, so please don't worry."

Hearing this, Jiang Fengshan's face changed, and he finally remembered that he had done something similar in order to make extra money.

"Is that so?"

Xu Shi paused after hearing this, then glanced at Tang Shuang and Ning Wei with an annoyed look, "No, first it was the Inspection Bureau, and then it was you guys... Hey, how come Jiang Fengshan alone brought up so many things for me?"

"I'm so annoyed. If you want to take it, just take it away. I don't care anymore!"

After saying that, he fell down in the boss chair angrily, looking unhappy as if he was being held hostage.

But in fact, he was already very happy.

Naturally, he was the one who contacted the people from "Feather Pen" because he knew early on that if he relied on Tang Shuang alone, it would definitely not be enough to bring down Jiang Fengshan.

Lin Wenhua could tolerate himself dealing with Xu Anbang, but he could not tolerate himself killing Jiang Fengshan.

After all, the importance of these two people is different, and he will definitely try his best to protect him.

What just happened was just as he guessed. When someone puts pressure on him, the director will definitely be constrained.

Fortunately, when Xu Shi checked with Jiang Chengcheng before, she noticed that Jiang Fengshan did not seem to report all the research materials that he had snatched from her to the company.

So where did the missing part go?

Following the clues, he finally found out the clue - it turned out that the old man had given it to the "Feather Pen" in order to earn the reward money set up by the other party, and it was even such a large amount.

Needless to say, the chip Jiang Chengcheng gave him was enough to expose his crimes in this regard.

"Quillen" may not care about Jiang Fengshan's character, nor will it pay attention to his abuse of Jiang Chengcheng.

But they could not tolerate Jiang Fengshan's deception of them.

If this gets out, not only will they be laughed at, but their credibility will also be affected.

So, they may work harder than the Audit Bureau.

"Thank you very much for your understanding, Chairman Xu."

Ning Wei nodded and looked at Tang Shuang on the side. "I came here in a hurry today and didn't bring anyone with me. So I'd like to ask Director Tang to help me?"

"……Ok, no problem."

Tang Shuang came back to his senses and nodded vigorously.

To be honest, she didn't expect that things would turn out so well after reaching this point.

Was this also Xu Shi’s arrangement... She pursed her lips, still a little unhappy.

After all, in this case, it would not be considered that she brought Jiang Fengshan to justice, but more because of the interference of the "Feather Pen".

But the result was the same, so she stopped worrying about it.

"Mr. Jiang, would you mind going with us?"

"……Wait a moment!"

At this moment, Lin Wenhua slammed the table and stood up, obviously he had just figured out what was going on.

"Hmm? Does Mr. Lin have any opinions?"

Ning Wei looked at him coldly, stretched out his hand and took out a badge from his bosom, "I might as well tell you that this is an order from Director Wen himself."

"I am calling you 'old bastard' to convey Director Wen's attitude... I wonder if Mr. Lin has any other advice for you?"

"I……"

When Lin Wenhua saw the badge representing his personal presence, he was instantly speechless.

To be honest, he doesn't necessarily take Tang Shuang or Ning Wei seriously.

But if it is Wen Shengkui, the chairman of "Feather Pen", it would be different.

Although it keeps a low profile on weekdays, the strength of this top consortium is unquestionable... In fact, as a cultural enterprise, the fact that it can stand firm in Night City with such an identity is enough to explain everything.

Not to mention that Wen Shengkui is not a person like Xu Shi, a person in power from whom he could take away half of his territory... Lin Wenhua knew very well that he could not afford to offend him, and the personal connections he had were not enough to compare to him.

So he could only watch Jiang Fengshan being taken away right under his nose, and Jiang Fengshan himself looked as pale as death.

If you can make the other party disregard his image and say vulgar words like "old bastard", you can imagine what kind of end you will face.

It failed, a huge setback.

Jiang Fengshan was taken away in despair.

But when Lin Wenhua sat down in frustration, he happened to meet Xu Shi's slightly smug and sarcastic gaze.

You are killing someone with a borrowed knife, old man.

This is the knife.

The false difference of "Quill Pen": Engage in a different industry from other consortiums

The real difference of "Quill Pen": the three-character company name (doge)

41. Chapter 41: Old man, just explode the gold coins obediently

41.

This turmoil finally ended with Xu Shi's victory.

With something like this happening, the meeting certainly couldn't continue... After the people from the Inspection Bureau left, Lin Wenhua found an excuse and hurried away.

I thought I could hold Xu Shi back today, but I didn't expect that one of my arms would be cut off.

send!

Seeing this, the others also left, and their attitude towards Xu Shi, including their judgment of the situation, also changed further.

Soon, Xu Shi and Su Lin were the only ones left in the meeting room.

Ning Wei didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave and still stood there straight.

"I really have to thank Secretary Ning."

Xu Shi stood up and greeted him politely.

"I am just following Director Wen's orders."

Ning Wei had a blank expression on his face. "Chairman Xu, there is no need to thank me. Instead, we should thank you for your act of sacrificing your own family for the sake of justice."

"What kind of relative is Jiang Fengshan?"

Xu Shi laughed, "Then let's just say we each get what we need... Please ask Secretary Ning to tell Mr. Wen that I will come to thank you another day."

"I'll pass that on for you."

Ning Wei nodded. "But please be prepared to be rejected by Director Wen. As for the reason... I think your father should have told you?"

"…You always have to say thank you."

Xu Shi paused, then brushed off the topic, "Then I won't keep Secretary Ning, and let Su Lin see you off?"

"No need to trouble Director Su. I will take my leave now."

Ning Wei shook his head, bowed, and strode out.

To be honest, although this was the first time he met him in person, he still admired Xu Shi from the bottom of his heart.

This was completely different from what he had investigated before. In his opinion, Xu Shi was clearly a very capable and scheming person.

Not to mention that he dared to use external forces to eliminate dissidents - to be honest, this kind of operation is rare in the consortium. Most of the time, they still prefer to do things behind closed doors and don't want any similar scandals to leak out, for fear of being caught by someone.

What a pity... Thinking of the friction between the two consortiums, he sighed with regret.

Watching Ning Wei go away, Xu Shi actually felt a little regretful.

It can be seen that the person in charge of the "Feather Pen", Mr. Wen Shengkui, does not seem to like himself very much.

But this dislike was not directed at anyone personally like "Prism" Xie Qingyan. To be honest, the two had never even met each other.

But this doesn't mean that there is no relationship between them - in fact, they are even related by blood.

Because Xu Shi's mother is Wen Shengkui's only daughter.

In other words, Mr. Wen is his grandfather.

But this was not a friendly marriage like that of "Snake Ring" and "Prism". On the contrary, it was because the mother was against arranged marriages and insisted on marrying the father that a rift arose between the two families.

At the worst time, Mr. Wen even personally said that he would sever ties with his daughter, not to mention her relationship with her father.

In such a situation, one would naturally be hated by everyone...the so-called bad conduct and being a playboy would be ranked second.

So, when he first took this step, Xu Shi was actually a little worried. If "Feather Pen" had not shown up today, things would never have gone so smoothly.
