The mole, Xu Zixi, had met this person during the interview with Fang Ruiyang. He was one of the interviewers at that time -
Reyk, the deputy general manager of the Pei Group.
And what Reyk was in charge of was the human resources department of the Pei Group.
Actually, Xu Zixi wasn't surprised that the mole was related to the human resources department. As early as when Fang Ruiyang told her that someone had leaked the interview questions to him when he entered the Pei Group, she had cast a suspicious eye on the human resources department.
Moreover, the human resources department was in charge of the entire design competition, and they were also the ones who collected the works. They indeed had the ability to delete all the works of other contestants at the end of the competition. Anyway, the competition was over. Even if someone pursued the matter later, they could just come up with an excuse to fob it off.
The loopholes in the financial reports made her realize that this person must have climbed to a management position in the Pei Group so that he could use his position to do these little tricks conveniently.
The human resources department of the Pei Group had one manager and two deputy managers. Xu Zixi thought that the mole should be one of these three people, but she never expected that it would be him...
At the design competition, Reyk even took Pei Mingyuan's place on stage to present awards to the second - prize winners!
Moreover, Xu Zixi still remembered that after joining the Pei Group, every new employee would receive an employee handbook, which introduced the main management of the Pei Group.
The handbook said that Reyk had been working in the Pei Group for 12 years. When it came to senior employees, he surely counted. Moreover, he was highly trusted by Chairman Pei, Pei Mingyuan's father, and was the first employee in the Pei Group to be given dry - share dividends.
If the mole was really Reyk, then was he planted by the Zhao family from the very beginning, or was he later bribed to turn against them?
Either way was enough to make people feel frightened and chilled!
Not hearing any sound from Xu Zixi and Fang Ruiyang, Yan Yincheng asked, "Have you confirmed it? Who is the mole?"
Xu Zixi said, "Reyk."
"Oh, it's him." Yan Yincheng wasn't as surprised as the two of them. He just said this calmly and then let out a disdainful "tsk".
"Old man Pei's ability to judge people is even worse than his son's. He actually let such a hidden danger lurk beside him for so many years. I wonder if he has nightmares at night."
But what Yan Yincheng wanted to say was that no wonder the Pei Group went bankrupt in the previous life. A high - level executive in charge of such an important department as the human resources department had defected to the Zhao family. The fate of the Pei Group was actually already doomed.
Was it because Zhao Quanjing was too scheming, or was the Pei Group just too useless?
Yan Yincheng fell into deep thought. Right now, even if he could use his status as the major shareholder to help the Pei Group preserve its foundation in Haicheng, without the Zhao family, did the Pei Group have the qualification and ability to continue to enjoy a share of the Haicheng market?
Without the Zhao family, wouldn't there be a Zhang family or a Li family?
While Yan Yincheng was thinking, Xu Zixi and Fang Ruiyang were still closely watching the surveillance camera.
About two hours later, Zhao Quanjing's figure finally appeared in front of the camera again. And half an hour after he left, Reyk also left.
Different from his initial appearance on the screen, Reyk's walking posture seemed strange. He covered his stomach with his hand and limped. It was obvious that he had been severely beaten just now. After noticing this, Xu Zixi was even more certain of Reyk's identity as the mole.
Since they had already gained control of the surveillance camera, Xu Zixi simply asked Fang Ruiyang to make a copy of the surveillance record. Then, she instructed Fang Ruiyang to clean up the traces of his intrusion to ensure that the teahouse wouldn't notice anything unusual.
Next, Xu Zixi instructed Fang Ruiyang to investigate this teahouse, and the results surprised both of them.
This teahouse had nothing to do with Zhao Quanjing, but it was related to Reyk. Because the owner of the teahouse was the older brother of Reyk's brother - in - law.
Digging deeper, they were shocked to find that this teahouse wasn't really a teahouse. It was actually a secret gambling den, and the secret passage was set up to facilitate this illegal activity. Reyk was a regular customer here. The surveillance footage from the past month showed that he came here almost every day.
It could be said that if they hadn't placed a tracking device on Zhao Quanjing and discovered the other secret passage in this teahouse, they would never have noticed any connection between Reyk and Zhao Quanjing. Even if someone saw them both in this place, they could just say that they were here for tea.
Xu Zixi relayed this discovery to Yan Yincheng. Yan Yincheng said, "A gambling den? You can check the relationship network between Zhao Quanjing and the older brother of Reyk's brother - in - law. There might be other discoveries."
Right! Reyk was a senior employee of the Pei Group. He had worked there for so long. He couldn't have been a mole for the Zhao family from the very beginning. Otherwise, the Pei Group would have disappeared from Haicheng long ago, let alone wait until now.
The loopholes in the financial reports had only appeared in the past six months, which meant that the scheme the Zhao family had set against the Pei Group should have started six months ago.
Xu Zixi immediately asked Fang Ruiyang to investigate the relationship between Zhao Quanjing and the teahouse owner, Xu Chengye. Thanks to the search software designed by Xu Zixi, the query results were soon sent to Fang Ruiyang's computer.
The moment he saw Xu Chengye's photo, Fang Ruiyang's face turned pale: "It's him."
"Little apprentice, have you met this person?" Xu Zixi asked.
The man in the photo was middle - aged. He looked kind - faced and wore a pair of rimless glasses. He often dressed in a Tang suit, which was very consistent with his identity as a teahouse owner.
Fang Ruiyang looked at the man's photo and said, "On the day when the Pei Group publicly announced the news about the 'Golden Amber', because I failed to reveal the news to Zhao Quanjing in time, he had me captured and severely beaten in that nightclub. At that time, this person was on the scene, playing mahjong with Zhao Quanjing and several other people. However, I only saw him that one time, and he never appeared again after that."
The connection between Xu Chengye and Zhao Quanjing didn't end there.
The "Rose and Wine" nightclub had two behind - the - scenes bosses. One of them, a wine merchant named Nie Tao, had a trading company that sold high - end tobacco, alcohol, and tea as gifts. This company was a joint venture with Xu Chengye.
Looking at it this way, Zhao Quanjing knew the teahouse owner Xu Chengye, Reyk was related by marriage to Xu Chengye's younger brother, and Reyk came here every day. Coupled with the fact that this teahouse was actually a gambling den behind the scenes...
All the clues were strung together, leading to a conclusion.
"Check Reyk's account changes in the past six months!"
