Huo Jinyao put his phone away and said, "Qiao Hong, you're a smart man. I admit that you've contributed a lot to this project. I'll give you two million today. Take the money and give me the stuff. As for going back to Tianyu, don't even think about it. After you get the money, you're not allowed to work in the same industry for two years. "
"Why should I trust you?"
"You have no choice but to trust me now." Huo Jinyao's voice was extremely cold. "If I want to ban you now, believe it or not, you won't be able to find a job in the whole of China."
Qiao Hong remained silent. He knew that Huo Jinyao was capable of doing that. He struggled to make his last request. "I want a bank transfer, not a check."
"Okay. I'll transfer one million to you now. I'll give you the rest after you give me the stuff. Let's go now. "
Without further ado, Huo Jinyao made Qiao Hong agree to his conditions with a few words, half threatening and half tempting.
Neither Yang Wenchang nor Ding Qing had a chance to say anything since he started talking.
Yang Wenchang was fine. He had worked for Huo Jinyao for a long time, and he had seen Huo Jinyao's fierce side before.
However, this was the first time that Ding Qing had seen Huo Jinyao like this. She sat next to Huo Jinyao and had a strange feeling in her heart.
She no longer came to Tianyu for some purpose.
She was simply Huo Jinyao's subordinate now. She saw a completely different side of her boss.
She looked at Huo Jinyao deeply, and her heart was filled with emotions that even she couldn't suppress.
She clearly knew that the emotional change could be called a heartbeat.
When they returned to the company, it was already past midnight.
They had followed Qiao Hong to the place he told them to take out the stuff.
They didn't expect Qiao Hong to be so bold as to put the stuff in the safe box of a suite in a four-star hotel.
Huo Jinyao didn't search Qiao Hong's home, nor did he send people to the hotel to look for him. He probably didn't expect Qiao Hong to be so bold.
However, he didn't register under his own name. Even if he sent people to search all the hotels in Rong City, they wouldn't know which hotel Qiao Hong was staying in.
Now that the stuff was back, Huo Jinyao kept it safe again.
He turned around and looked at his two subordinates. There was no need to mention Yang Wenchang. After following him for so many years, he was experienced in everything he did. He knew what he was thinking the most.
Whatever it was, it had already been done before the order had been given.
As for Ding Qing, although she hadn't been here for long, she had been doing well in the past few days.
"You've all worked hard today. Go back and rest early."
Huo Jinyao rubbed the space between his eyebrows. He felt that things had been solved too easily.
Qiao Hong's compromise was within his expectations. He had already blocked all of Qiao Hong's escape routes.
Two million was nothing to him. But to him, this matter had been solved too easily, and it felt surreal.
Yang Wenchang stood there, not in a hurry to leave. Huo Jinyao glanced at him, then turned to look at Ding Qing.
"Secretary Ding, you can go back and rest first."
"Alright." Ding Qing knew that Yang Wenchang had something to say, so she didn't linger. She lowered her head and quickly left.
However, after she left, she did not leave immediately. Closing the door, she pressed her ear against the door.
The soundproofing in Huo Jinyao's office was so good that she couldn't hear anything. In the end, she had no choice but to leave.
In the office, Yang Wenchang sat across from Huo Jinyao. Neither of them had rested well for the past few days, and neither of them looked well.
"President Huo, I have a feeling that something is wrong with this matter."
"Tell me about it." Huo Jinyao had the same feeling, but he also wanted to hear Yang Wenchang's opinion.
"I just feel that it's too simple."
Yang Wenchang didn't believe that Qiao Hong had gone through all this trouble just for two million. They both knew the value of this document.
More importantly, if Qiao Hong had really sold it to a rival company, even if they went to court and sued the rival company, Tianyu Group would still suffer a great loss.
"Also, it's too easy to solve."
Today, Qiao Hong had agreed to the terms without much struggle. On the surface, it seemed that he had done so under Huo Jinyao's pressure, but in fact, it felt weird.
Huo Jinyao looked at Yang Wenchang. Yang Wenchang was indeed his most valued assistant.
"Go and find out who Qiao Hong has been in contact with before. Or, apart from the two million I gave him, if there was any other unknown income in his bank account. "
"It doesn't have to be the bank account. There are other accounts as well. Check them all."
"Yes." Yang Wenchang nodded and turned to leave. Huo Jinyao stopped him.
"You don't have to do it now. It's the same tomorrow. One more thing. Not only do we have to investigate him, but we also have to investigate his family. "
Qiao Hong wasn't stupid. He might not use his own account to do something like that.
Yang Wenchang immediately understood what he meant. Huo Jinyao waved his hand. "Alright, go back to sleep. Don't come tomorrow morning. Have a good rest at home. "
Looking into Huo Jinyao's tired eyes, Yang Wenchang knew that he was the most tired one.
"President Huo. I don't need to rest tomorrow. You, on the other hand, have a tough battle to fight tomorrow. "
"Don't worry. I know." Huo Jinyao sat up straight. His eyes were sharp. "Those people want to see me make a fool of myself. I'll make a fool of myself first."
Yang Wenchang lowered his eyes. Only then did he feel relieved. He quickly walked out.
Huo Jinyao stayed in the office. He didn't rush home. He was still thinking about all the problems he had encountered during this period of time.
Then, he connected the dots one by one and found the key point.
… …
Su Qingsang walked out of the airport and tightened her coat. It was the end of spring, but the weather in Rong City was still a bit cold.
Compared with the warm Lin City, it was much colder here.
She didn't rush to the taxi lane. Huo Jinyao said that he would send someone to pick her up. Su Qingsang just had to wait here.
She called Huo Jinyao before she got on the plane. Huo Jinyao asked her why she didn't stay in Lin City for a few more days.
Not only him, but Shi Mengwan and the Li family also wanted her to stay for a few more days.
She wanted to stay too, but the thought of Huo Jinyao going to a nightclub with another woman made her feel very uncomfortable.
Plus, she had something to do at the hospital, so she refused their invitation to stay. She only said that she would fly back to Lin City to visit them when she had time. She took the earliest flight of the day back to Rong City.
However, as soon as she pushed her luggage out of the ramp, she saw someone who shouldn't be there.
