Entering the study on the second floor, Luke saw Jenny standing in front of the window.
This villa was worth three million at most. Naturally, it didn't have a good view.
In fact, the window in Jenny's study could only see dozens of meters away. It wasn't grand at all, but it was very quiet.
Luke coughed and said, "Hi! Good evening, beautiful Miss Gwyneth. "
Jenny slowly turned around and stared at him. A moment later, she charged at him.
Luke raised his hands. "Wait, listen to me … huh?"
The passionate entanglement of tongues and lips lasted for a long time before Jenny let go of him, panting, but she still hung her whole body on him.
She exclaimed quickly, "How did you do it? It's unbelievable! Darling, did you use some kind of witchcraft on Miss Beth? "
Luke scratched his head and could only carry her to a chair. "Fine, calm down. You can talk slowly. We have a lot of time tonight. "
Jenny finally calmed down a little. Looking at his expression and recalling his habits, she suddenly realized something. "You don't care about financial news or technology news at all, do you?"
Luke chuckled. "No, you know I don't know anything about that."
Jenny touched his forehead and asked, "Are you sick? This is very important news about whether or not the phone company can make a fortune. Aren't you going to take a look at it? "
Luke exerted a little force to calm the agitated lady. "I like hearing you tell me this news. It makes me feel more satisfied."
Jenny hit him in frustration. "Damn it, don't lie to me like that … Forget it, you have to say things like that more in the future. I'll feel happier that way."
Luke was amused. Most people always wanted to hear what they liked, whether it was true or not.
Only then did Jenny talk about the "great news" about the phone company.
Island Dragon Electronics suddenly announced this morning that because of a serious accident at one of their production bases, their chip production plans for the second half of the year would be affected, but the orders for major customers would still be fulfilled within the contract period.
Luke didn't understand what was so happy about at all. "Does this mean that the production of our phone chips will also be delayed?"
Jenny, however, looked at him strangely for a long time. She couldn't help but press him down and kiss him again. "That's what the newspaper said. However, I received a notice from Island Dragon at noon today, asking me to discuss the adjustment of the chip production plan. "
Luke didn't say anything and continued listening.
"In the end, I met Beth Patrick Thompson in person and even finalized a supplementary agreement with her to supply chips in advance," Jenny said.
Luke was puzzled. "Wait, there's a serious accident at Island Dragon's production base. On one hand, they say that they have to delay the delivery of certain customers, but on the other hand, they want to help us supply chips in advance. What's going on?"
Jenny smiled. "On the surface, it's probably because there's a problem with the production base. We can't let a large number of workers sit around and get paid for nothing. Before resuming the supply of chips to a certain major customer, these workers will prioritize processing the chips of other customers. They will only be transferred back after the production base's problems are resolved. "
Luke slapped his forehead. "Wait, you can use their workers like that?"
He wasn't a brick-mover, so he didn't need to move anywhere! No matter how he thought about it, it sounded ridiculous.
Jenny laughed again, but this time, there was a hint of mockery in her voice. "Do you know which company was delayed until the deadline of the contract?"
Luke rolled his eyes and suddenly asked, "The Thompson family's NTC phone company?"
Stunned for a moment, Jenny said in surprise, "How do you know … Oh, you actually read the news before, but you pretended not to know to tease me?"
Luke shook his head and said with a smile, "You asked me to guess, but you didn't say it directly. That answer is probably one of the most unreasonable. What could be more unreasonable than a daughter refusing to supply chips to her father's phone company? I don't think that's often the case. "
Jenny sighed in admiration. "Alright, Detective Luke, you did guess … part of it. Island Dragon is blocking the supply of chips to NTC and part of the Thompson family's electronics industry. Don't tell me you've guessed the reason? "
Luke asked, "A family conflict over property?"
Jenny nodded. "I just pretended to inadvertently mention our visit to her father's house, and her expression didn't look right."
At that point, she sighed. "Also, she couldn't hide her state from me. Disappointment, pain, anger, conflict … "
Luke hugged her. "Wait, I actually lied just now, just a little bit."
Jenny was just reminiscing when Luke interrupted her emotional buildup. She asked curiously, "What lie?"
Luke said, "I have a rough idea why Miss Beth is dissatisfied with her family. When I went to Poland to investigate, I only saw her own security team looking for her, not her family's team. "
Jenny was a little suspicious. "You don't know who the Thompson family sent to investigate."
Luke said, "I've investigated a few key people near the hotel where Beth disappeared. They're the most likely witnesses to provide clues. I spent a little more money, and learned from them that only one group of people came to investigate. They were Beth's personal security guards. "
Jenny was confused. "Maybe they haven't found anything yet?"
"Miss Beth's net worth is at least tens of billions. Would her father send such an unprofessional investigation team when such an important family member is missing?" Luke sighed. "Forget about the lack of manpower and time. The Thompson family is powerful and influential. If they really wanted to investigate, this wouldn't have happened."
Jenny immediately understood.
It was just like how it wouldn't be a coincidence if there were too many coincidences.
The problem with the Thompson family regarding Beth's disappearance could only be that someone "wanted" her to have a problem.
Looking at her expression, Luke comforted her. "Beth's family might have some dirty thoughts. Your father and brother, on the other hand, don't have such thoughts. You have enough time to think about how to get along with your father's new family in the future. You have the initiative. "
Jenny was silent for a long time. Leaning against his shoulder, she said, "Yes, I still have a lot of time and opportunities."
A moment later, she raised her head. "Let's get down to business."
Luke was amused. "That's business too. The CEO's mood is the barometer for the phone company. If you enter the company with a dark face, won't the employees tremble in fear like chicks? "
