Half an hour later, Pei Mingyuan, who had finished reading all the documents, sat on the sofa in silence for a long time.
He should have thought of it earlier. As early as when Yan Yincheng had hinted to him, he had already guessed that the problem lay in the Human Resources Department. But he never imagined that the person who had harmed the Pei Corporation was actually Lei Ke!
This was an old employee of the Pei Corporation! The system he had implemented had created over ten million in profits for the company, and for this reason, he had won the deep trust of Pei Mingyuan's father.
For this, his father had specially given Lei Ke a share of the dry - stock dividends! He was the first employee of the Pei Corporation to receive such dividends!
His father had never treated Lei Ke badly. But just to pay off his gambling debts, Lei Ke had actually betrayed his conscience, submitted to the Zhao Corporation, sold all the Pei Corporation's secrets to them, and even become a blade in the hands of the Zhao Corporation, striking at the Pei Corporation!
The human heart was indeed the most unfathomable thing in the world.
Pei Mingyuan was extremely grateful that he was now in power at the Pei Corporation. If his father had known all this, he was afraid that his father would have to be rushed to the ICU again!
At this moment, Pei Mingyuan also understood the intention of the Yan Corporation's sudden "break - up" with the Pei Corporation, demanding that the Pei Corporation withdraw from the "City of Hope" project and return the equity.
It was all a game.
In fact, Yan Yincheng had not given up on the Pei Corporation. He was using his own way to save the Pei Corporation and send a warning to them —
Their top - level management had been infiltrated, and it had even affected the financial reports. If they didn't make changes, they wouldn't be able to protect the foundation of the Pei Corporation. And the Pei Corporation was doomed to decline.
Supporting his forehead, Pei Mingyuan laughed silently. He had misjudged Yan Yincheng with a petty heart. He had thought...
This was the reason why he had completely lost to the other party. The gap between him and Mr. Yan was not only in financial resources, knowledge, and strategy, but also in vision...
Everything he did was always for himself. No matter how many years he cultivated, he could never have the other party's magnanimity and bearing.
Since that was the case, then he would cooperate with the other party to finish this play.
Lei Ke and the Zhao Corporation! He would never let them off easily!
After finding out the mole, Pei Mingyuan transferred 20 million to the account left by the hacker as agreed.
After rushing back to the Pei Corporation without a moment's rest, he immediately called a meeting of all employees.
At the meeting, he first announced the fact that he had become the major shareholder of the Pei Corporation. Then he officially announced to everyone that the Yan Corporation had terminated its cooperation with the Pei Corporation, the Pei Corporation had completely withdrawn from the "City of Hope" project, and the Pei Corporation's attempt to enter the tourism industry had failed.
Now, the Pei Corporation only had two industries left: the hospital and the shopping mall. But both industries had been severely hit, and the future of the Pei Corporation was actually not optimistic. He hoped that everyone could unite and accompany the Pei Corporation through this difficult time. Those who were willing to stay would have their salaries tripled.
Of course, if anyone had a better offer, they could submit their resignation reports immediately. The Pei Corporation would not only process them immediately but also pay compensation.
As soon as he finished speaking, the discussion in the meeting hall almost blew the roof off.
Pei Mingyuan had been observing Lei Ke. He noticed that Lei Ke's first reaction upon hearing this news was to let out a sigh of relief. Pei Mingyuan sneered inwardly.
He stood on the stage. When the discussion among the people subsided a bit, he said, "In addition, based on the clues, we have found out that the crisis of the Pei Corporation this time was purely man - made. Moreover, we have obtained the key evidence and clearly know the identity of that person."
After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment. He saw Lei Ke start to wipe the sweat off his forehead.
"I hope that the person who betrayed the Pei Corporation can take the initiative to stand up, admit his mistakes to me, and stop the loss in time. Otherwise, I will hand over the evidence to the police and make sure he spends the rest of his life in prison."
When Lei Ke heard the words "hand over to the police", his eyes involuntarily shifted to the side.
The others sat up straight even more and didn't even dare to whisper, for fear of being suspected.
After the meeting ended, Pei Mingyuan stopped Lei Ke, who was about to leave in a hurry. "Uncle Lei, I have something to talk to you about. Please come to my office with me."
Lei Ke was already feeling guilty because of what Pei Mingyuan had said just now. Now that Pei Mingyuan had specifically asked him to stay alone, did it mean that the Pei Corporation already knew about his secret collusion with the Zhao Corporation?
Lei Ke didn't respond for a long time. The people who hadn't left the meeting room were pointing at him from behind. He even heard someone say, "Could that mole be Manager Lei?"
Lei Ke shivered all over and quickly replied to Pei Mingyuan, "Okay, President Pei."
As he followed Pei Mingyuan towards the president's office, Lei Ke was constantly breaking out in cold sweat. Pei Mingyuan looked back inadvertently and, seeing Lei Ke's appearance, asked in surprise,
"Uncle Lei, why do you look so pale? Didn't you sleep well last night? I heard that looking pale and sweating easily is a sign of kidney deficiency. You'd better ask Auntie to cook you some medicinal food to replenish your energy."
Lei Ke didn't know what Pei Mingyuan was up to, so he could only reply with a bitter face, "Okay, okay. I'll ask her to cook it when I get back."
After entering the president's office, Pei Mingyuan casually said, "Uncle Lei, remember to lock the door after you come in."
Lei Ke swallowed hard and trembled as he locked the door as Pei Mingyuan said. At the same time, he thought to himself: Maybe I should just confess. Maybe I can still get a chance of redemption. If they really have the evidence and find me out, I'm afraid I'll spend my whole life in prison.
Taking a deep breath, he turned around, clenched his fists, and met Pei Mingyuan's deep gaze.
For a moment, Lei Ke almost wanted to kneel down in front of Pei Mingyuan. But the next second, Pei Mingyuan, with a worried look on his face, said to Lei Ke, "Uncle Lei, I called you here to ask you to think of a way for me."
After saying that, he sighed.
Lei Ke's legs were trembling. He asked, "What? What way?" More and more sweat was flowing down his forehead.
"Uncle Lei, your body is so weak! Please sit down." Pei Mingyuan said and then turned around to pour a glass of water for Lei Ke. Lei Ke had no choice but to grit his teeth and sit down on the sofa.
Putting the glass of water in front of Lei Ke, Pei Mingyuan sat down beside him and said in a solemn tone, "Uncle Lei, you know that my father had a sudden illness and is still in the hospital. All the affairs of the Pei Corporation, big and small, have now fallen on my shoulders. I'm so stressed that I can't sleep at night."
"To be honest with you, we had noticed a problem with the financial reports of the Pei Corporation before. After a detailed investigation, we confirmed that there was a mole inside the Pei Corporation. Before Dad was hospitalized, the two of us had also discussed it privately and agreed that this crisis of the Pei Corporation was caused by that mole."
After saying that, Pei Mingyuan deliberately paused. Lei Ke felt dizzy and subconsciously blurted out, "Yes..."
"Uncle Lei also thinks so, right?" Pei Mingyuan interrupted him in time and continued, "Actually, what I said at the meeting just now was false. We don't have any evidence. But I know that the mole is inside. I said that to force him to show his true colors."
