Chapter 257: Chapter 257 ‘Failed to Pretend to be…’_l

“Boss, I have to report something. ‘Huge Ocean’ company has already transferred the 60 million down payment to us.”

Huge Ocean was the company that had set a trap for Dotdot Special Effects Company.

From the name of their company alone, you could tell their ambition.

Huge Ocean could devour everything.

“Heh heh,” Jiang Xu couldn’t help but sneer: “Sending money in the middle of the night. They were a bit eager. Carry on with the plan then.”

“Yes, boss.”

“Oh right, there’s another thing. You could you investigate someone named Dongfang Dasun for me, a man in his early twenties and very conceited…”

He still had to investigate the other side.

If there were any hidden risks, he could also get rid of it in time.

“Okay, I will do it personally.”

At the top floor of a building in Jiang City.

A man in a casual suit was holding a cup of coffee.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, he looked down at the traffic below.

He was the mastermind of Huge Ocean Investment Group, Lu Yi.

His secretary came in from outside.

“Mr. Lu, the money has already been transferred to Dotdot Special Effects Company.”

“Hmm,” said Lu Yi, without turning back: “After taking over ‘Dotdot’, we should set our sights on the next city.”

His style of operation always carried an element of caution with a domineering approach.

Take over a company with the force of Thunder, and then rapidly changing the battlefield.

This way, he could avoid arousing the hostility of local large enterprises.

By swallowing one or two enterprises in each city.

Huge Ocean’s current assets have already surpassed 5 billion.

As Lu Yi looked at the dazzling lights outside, his eyes were filled with ambitious light.

Time flew by quickly.

Before they knew it, it was already June 8th.

There was only one week left until the college entrance examination.

As soon as the college entrance examination ended, Jiang Xu could submit his application for admission to An Nuonuo.

The thought made him happy.

Even though the schedule was really tight, Jiang Xu still found some time to come to Dotdot Company alone.

He gathered all the employees together and held a meeting.

“The purpose of calling you all here today is…”

Jiang Xu sat in the boss’s seat, elongating his speech, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.

Liu Dahai sat on his left, his gaze also fixed on each individual.

The curiosity of all the employees was on high alert.

Jiang Xu continued: “You’ve all worked hard this period. The super large orders have already been completed, tonight we will all go out to celebrate together. Additionally, next month everyone will receive a bonus of an extra 5000 yuan.”

With these words, everyone began to discuss vigorously.

“Boss, hasn’t the project been completed yet?”

“Yeah, the progress is only about 90 percent.”

“Does the boss have it wrong?”

Jiang Xu laughed: “No mistake, for the later part of the order, I got another team to help out with the production. So, it’s a lot faster than expected.”

This was Jiang Xu’s solution.

At the start of this project, he had Liu Dahai do two things.

One was to copy the results of the work done each day and give it to Jiang Xu.

The other was to secretly find a capable but inexpensive special effects company to outsource some of the content to.

This way, he could ensure that the order would be completed within the time limit set by ‘Huge Ocean’.

And with the backup in Jiang Xu’s hands, he didn’t need to worry about any surprises.

As Jiang Xu spoke, he watched the employees closely.

There was definitely a mole within the company.

But Liu Dahai had not found any leads over this period of time.

Everything was now settled, Jiang Xu purposely announced this in public, hoping to see any abnormal reactions.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t catch anyone.

He didn’t spot any issues with anyone.

The traitor was hidden well.

Liu Dahai subtly shook his head at Jiang Xu.

He didn’t notice any problems either.

Jiang Xu didn’t believe they could keep up the act forever.

He had asked Liu Dahai to invite the person in charge from Huge Ocean over.

It was time for the inspection.

“You have it ready?”

When Liu Hui, the person in charge of Huge Ocean, came to ‘Dotdot’ and heard the news, he was shocked on the spot. He subconsciously looked at a specific employee.

The employee subtly shook her head indicating that she was unaware of this.

This time, Jiang Xu caught it clearly.

Such a subconscious action couldn’t be faked.

The person was the deputy director of the company, a single mother in her thirties.

Jiang Xu laughed: “Yes, in gratitude for your company’s large order. We put in all our effort and finished half a month ahead of schedule.”

Because of this, Huge Ocean’s mole in Dotdot hadn’t even had a chance to act before everything was over.

After Liu Hui reviewed the content submitted by Jiang Xu, his face turned particularly ugly.

This wasn’t the result he had wanted!

The value of this task was at most 10 million.

The reason why Huge Ocean paid such a high price was for Dotdot’s compensation and company shares!

Now, all that money was essentially wasted.

Liu Hui was full of rage.

But it was not the time to vent.

He couldn’t just simply sign off on it.

He was nitpicking and finding fault with everything.

However, Jiang Xu had anticipated this.

All the issues the other party could think of were already prepared for in advance.

As soon as Liu Hui mentioned a problem, they would solve it on the spot.

Liu Hui:

He was upset, very upset.

He had overseen a lot of these takeover projects.

Some of them involved people who had been fighting in the business world for decades.

But dealing with them was easier than dealing with Jiang Xu.

In the end, Liu Hui simply couldn’t find any flaws.

Jiang Xu said with a smile: “If there are no problems, please settle the balance.”

Jiang Xu had specifically asked Liu Dahai to add a clause in the contract when it was signed.

The clause stated that the balance had to be paid in person after confirming there were no problems.

This was to prevent the other party from going back on their word.

At the time, Liu Hui was very confident and didn’t care about this clause, so he agreed.

Now, it had become a ‘curse’.

Liu Hui wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, stood up and said to Jiang Xu: “Alright, I’ll call the company now, just wait a bit.”

After saying this, he stood up and went to the side to make a call.

Jiang Xu locked his gaze on the deputy director, his eyes deep.

The moment she met his gaze, she instinctively lowered her head and dared not look at him.

She had already sensed something.

Elsewhere, Liu Hui was reporting to Lu Yi.

“Boss, what should we do now?”

After he finished speaking, Liu Hui was somewhat anxious.

He was responsible for this matter.

There was silence on Lu Yi’s end for a few seconds before he said: “We’ve met an opponent. Settle the balance.”

Liu Hui unwillingly asked: “So we’re just admitting defeat?”

They had been invincible before this after all.

Lu Yi calmly said: “Of course we can’t just consider this a defeat. Give him the phone, I want to speak with him.”

“Yes, boss.”

Liu Hui handed the phone to Jiang Xu: “My boss wishes to speak with Mr.

Jiang.”

Jiang Xu took the phone: “Hello, this is Jiang Xu.”

Lu Yi: “How did you figure it out?”
