The truth is revealed

How could Zhang Yan, with her lack of social experience, possibly figure out the reason?

Lin Yuan decided not to keep her in suspense.

“Because Good Group has other intentions.

This whole thing is actually a smoke bomb intentionally released by Good Group.”

Zhang Yan was very confused, “Then what are they after?”

“I don’t know either. I’m racking my brain over this. The work clearly looks like it failed, but I haven’t lost a single cent of my pay. . .”

“Isn’t that great?”

“But I still want to ask the company for an advance on my salary. If I don’t understand the whole story, I’m a bit hesitant to ask. Sigh, I’m afraid of accidentally stepping into a pit and incurring public wrath. After all, it’s asking for an advance when the company is in a difficult situation.”

“Do you need money, Senior Brother?”

“Yes.” Lin Yuan admitted directly.

“How much do you need? I’ll lend it to you.”

“One million.”

“One million?” Zhang Yan thought for a moment and quickly connected it to Song Xiaoxiao’s situation, as she knew the total amount of compensation and fines for Song Xiaoxiao’s incident.

“Senior Brother, you’re too loyal. To be so devoted for your girlfriend’s best friend.”

“I owe a favor, there’s no other way.”

“To go to such lengths just to help your girlfriend repay a favor. Senior Brother, you’re a real man.” Zhang Yan stood up and gave Lin Yuan a thumbs-up.

Lin Yuan smiled bitterly, “Did you forget? Who was Song Xiaoxiao arrested because of? I’m repaying more than just Xia Ye’s favor. Forget it, let’s not talk about it.”

“In short, Senior Brother is very manly and responsible.

So, according to you, Senior Brother, this wave of public opinion caused by Good Group isn’t a big deal, right?”

Lin Yuan nodded, “Bingo!”

“But you don’t know Good Group’s specific intention?”

“Bingo again!”

Zhang Yan was amused by Lin Yuan’s mix of Chinese and English, “Senior Brother, cheer up. How about I lend you one million?”

Lin Yuan was stunned, “You have one million?”

Zhang Yan immediately covered her mouth in panic, even looking towards the door in fright, “Uh, hehe. . . that, that, I, I, Senior, Senior Brother, you wouldn’t, go around talking, would you?”

How could Lin Yuan not understand? For a young person like Zhang Yan, who just started working, to casually offer to lend one million, the problem was significant. This was not something to be casually investigated.

“Junior Sister, look, I’m willing to get such a headache for Song Xiaoxiao. Do you think I would talk carelessly? Besides, one million isn’t much for a benevolent family these days.”

“You’re right. I trust Senior Brother one hundred and twenty percent.”

“Senior Brother won’t borrow money from you.”

“It’s okay, me lending you one hundred thousand is still reasonable.”

“Really okay?”

“It’s okay~~” Zhang Yan almost patted her chest.

Lin Yuan thumped his own chest, “I get it. If I really can’t scrape it together, I’ll borrow from you then.”

“Senior Brother, don’t be polite with me. Just ask if you need it. I can transfer it to you now.”

“Not for now. If I figure out Good Group’s true intention, I can time it right and ask for an advance on my salary. The problem will be solved then.

But that’s a problem I need to worry about.

Your trip here can end now.

Just organize the report as I just told you.

In short, just leave everything to time.”

Lin Yuan said, getting up, “By the way, you haven’t had breakfast, have you? What do you want to eat?”

“Whatever Senior Brother eats, I’ll eat.”

Lin Yuan felt a lump in his throat, because that was the treatment only Xia Ye received. “How about, two steamed buns or an egg pancake for you?”

Zhang Yan understood the expression on Lin Yuan’s face, “Tsk~~, not even married yet and already so stingy. I’m not eating.”

But then Zhang Yan immediately said, “I want a hand-grabbed pancake, no lettuce, and just a tiny, tiny bit spicy.”

So Lin Yuan called Xia Ye, “Come back quickly. Bring her a hand-grabbed pancake, no spicy, no lettuce. For mine, just buy whatever you think is good.”

Then Lin Yuan hung up the phone.

Zhang Yan pouted angrily, “I said I wanted it just a tiny, tiny bit spicy.”

“Who knows what ‘a tiny, tiny bit spicy’ means? Don’t even think about ordering my wife around.” Then Lin Yuan pointed to the kitchen, “There’s chili sauce in there, you can add it yourself later.”

“But you’re my Senior Brother.” Zhang Yan put away the case files and stomped her foot.

“Half-baked Senior Brother.”

“Senior Brother, both your first blood and second blood were taken by me. What do you mean ‘half-baked Senior Brother’? That’s going too far.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan almost blurted out, “What the heck? My first blood is clearly still there.”

“Your first time being caught and your second time being caught, weren’t they both by me?” Zhang Yan said seriously.

“Alright, so that’s what you meant.

Alright, comrade, please show your professional demeanor. After you get the hand-grabbed pancake, go straight back home.”

But Zhang Yan still seemed reluctant, “Can you tell me more about Good Group’s situation this time?”

“Didn’t I tell you? That’s all I know.”

“Then if you have any new discoveries in the future, remember to tell me immediately.”

“Xia Ye will be back soon, let’s not talk about these things.”

“Oh, I forgot.”

“What?”

“I forgot to record just now. How can I remember what you said?”

“It’s okay, I’ll email it to you later. Send me your email address on WeChat.”

“Alright then.” But Zhang Yan was still uneasy. She picked up the case files again to check for omissions, to see if there were any other details Lin Yuan hadn’t told her.

“By the way, Senior Brother, how should I write this part?”

Lin Yuan glanced at the time on his phone and whispered, “Xia Ye could be back any moment, don’t call me Senior Brother. You are now Officer Zhang, and I am the party involved in your previous case.”

Zhang Yan rolled her eyes, then enunciated clearly, “Lin Yuan, this part, what do you say?”

Lin Yuan just wanted to quickly send this plague god away. He followed her finger to look.

And sure enough, there was a place he had missed.

[Economic Investigation Analysis: Empty]

“Economic investigation didn’t write anything, how am I supposed to make something up?”

“Why didn’t they write anything?”

“Because economic investigation said: Good Group doesn’t issue shares in the mainland, so this matter doesn’t require their involvement. So the content of this section of the report has to be forced onto me to write.”

Lin Yuan mumbled, “Shares? My options might see a decrease in dividends due to this incident.”

Lin Yuan knew in his mind that Good Group was listed in HK. And stock price fluctuations would naturally affect option dividends.

“Stock price fluctuations?” Lin Yuan was inspired by his own mumbling, “I finally get it.”

“That’s right.” Lin Yuan’s face darkened, which made Zhang Yan a little flustered.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Lin Yuan immediately pulled out his phone to check. Soon, he said in a low voice, “These damn bastards. So this was the whole reason.”

On his phone was a recent stock price fluctuation chart of Good Group’s shares listed in HK.

Hao Tuan Company’s stock had been fluctuating downwards for several consecutive days. The relevant news pages clearly listed news related to the turmoil caused by the Purple Gold City takeout algorithm update.

“They are deliberately discrediting themselves. Discrediting themselves to suppress the stock price, and then finding the right time to release the algorithm.

As expected of a large company with a capital background.”

Lin Yuan recalled Dean Li’s words: Since you have nothing for them to exploit, they must be using you to exploit others.

Isn’t this it?

Even as Ignorance as Zhang Yan was beside him, she understood Lin Yuan’s summary. “Senior Brother, your analysis is amazing.”

“Don’t write this part.”

“Ah? Why?”

“Why would you write this part into the report?”

Just then, the doorknob turned.

Xia Ye returned with breakfast.
