58: Call it a day, 40 million!
Su Yue did not wait too long.
With a soft 'beep' sound, Yang Qingmei's work computer screen suddenly lit up, and a brand logo appeared on the screen.
This was a sign that the screen had suddenly received power. And as the computer screen lit up, the lights overhead also came back on.
Due to too many electrical appliances being powered on simultaneously, the power surge was too large, causing these lights to be unstable and flicker.
Su Yue's expression also became serious. The restoration of power was the opportunity he had been waiting for, but at the same time, it meant his time was running out.
Because the sprinklers had definitely been manually stopped, and the administrative department employees who had been driven near the elevator by the sprinklers would soon return.
Coupled with the restored lighting on the entire Third Floor, the probability of Su Yue being discovered would greatly increase!
He did not delay for a second, directly pulling open the door to Lan Zijun's office.
He knew without looking that he was now inevitably under the gaze of those hidden surveillance cameras, but he did not care at all.
The first thing Su Yue saw upon opening the door was four large suitcases placed neatly in the center of the office.
Seeing those four suitcases, a look of excitement appeared on Su Yue's face.
Although these four suitcases looked like ordinary boxes on the outside, anyone with a little experience who had been to the bank a few times could tell that this type of suitcase actually had only one purpose.
That was to hold money!
Although he already had an Intelligence Outpost and seemed destined for the pinnacle of life, at this moment, he was still just a nobody.
An ordinary office worker whose bank card plus System funds totaled less than one hundred thousand.
And now, a huge sum of money was sitting in front of him!
40 million!
It was his, Su Yue's!
Despite his excitement, Su Yue did not waste any time.
He quickly walked two steps to the suitcases and placed his hand on one of them.
The next second, the System's prompt sounded.
【Large amount of cash detected, deposit into System standby fund pool?】
"Yes!"
Su Yue answered without hesitation.
【Cash has been deposited into System space. Currently available funds: ten million and five thousand!】
Su Yue smiled slightly.
President Lan was indeed an honest businesswoman. She might try to set up some obstacles or increase the difficulty as a means of engaging with Su Yue, but regarding the transaction itself, she kept her word.
She said 40 million, so she prepared four boxes, 10 million in each box, not a single cent less.
Such a client was clearly of the highest quality. It seemed that establishing a cooperative relationship with her was not necessarily a bad thing.
Of course, these boxes themselves were also a form of obstacle. Because paper money is very heavy, 10 million in cash, even if all in the largest denomination hundred-yuan bills, has a net weight of about 120 kilograms.
If you add the weight of this specially made drop-proof, waterproof, and fireproof suitcase, as well as the paper used to bundle the bills, the weight is estimated to reach about 130 kilograms.
Four boxes, totaling over 500 kilograms, this is simply not something an average person could transport. After all, there were security guards outside, professional bodyguards, and almost ubiquitous surveillance.
However, Lan Zijun would not have thought that the person she was dealing with had a System!
And this System had a System space. Although Su Yue had not yet found a way to put things into it, money could be stored in the System's fund pool as funds.
If Su Yue wanted to use it, he only needed to transfer the funds to the bank card linked to the fund pool to withdraw cash.
In other words, Su Yue essentially carried a deposit machine with him.
And the deposit speed was much faster than a bank teller machine!
His mind was racing with thoughts, but Su Yue's hands were not slow. In just under four seconds, he had already deposited all 40 million into the System fund pool, leaving the four boxes still in place, not even having been opened.
He quickly scanned Zhou Wei again, confirming that he had left no obvious traces, as he hadn't touched anything. Su Yue exited Lan Zijun's office at the fastest speed.
He glanced outside through the glass of the Confidential Documents Section. There were already people moving in the corridor outside, evidently the employees who had not chosen the elevator area earlier but had hidden in their offices.
Many figures were rushing towards the restroom on one side. The automatic sprinklers overhead had started unexpectedly just now, wetting many people's clothes and hair. They were hurrying to the restroom to dry off with a hairdryer.
Su Yue gently pulled open the door and slipped out. Standing at the doorway, Su Yue smiled with satisfaction.
Cheers of "The power is back on" sounded everywhere. No one paid attention to this side, after all, the ordinary employees had no idea that a large sum of money had been prepared in Lan Zijun's office.
With a smile on his face, Su Yue also walked towards the restroom. The money matter was settled. Next, it was time to execute the next plan.
...
When Su Yue entered the restroom on the Third Floor, in the lounge downstairs, Lan Zijun was already sitting upright.
Having just woken up, Lan Zijun felt refreshed. She looked at Yang Qingmei beside her: "Is everything ready?"
"Mr. Jiang and the others have finished installing the hidden surveillance cameras, and the company entrances and exits have been sealed off," Yang Qingmei said softly.
"However, it seems a small incident happened just now," she said hesitantly.
"What incident?" Lan Zijun's eyebrows twitched.
"I heard there was a fire alarm on the Third Floor just now, and all the automatic sprinklers in the corridor were activated," Yang Qingmei had only heard the commotion outside and inquired about it.
"Why wasn't I informed in time?" Lan Zijun's brows furrowed slightly.
"Mr. Jiang tried to contact you via walkie-talkie earlier, but President Lan, you were resting at the time, so I didn't wake you," Yang Qingmei said, lowering her head.
Lan Zijun nodded slightly. She had indeed been exhausted lately. Yang Qingmei not waking her was also out of good intentions. Anyway, even if she had been awake when a fire alarm occurred, she couldn't have helped in any way.
"Has it been dealt with?" she pressed.
"It has been dealt with. It is said to have been a false alarm. The Third Floor has returned to normal, and there were no losses except for a few damaged surveillance cameras. He said he would report the specifics to you after the matter concludes," Yang Qingmei nodded.
Lan Zijun nodded again. Jiang Zhehao was not her subordinate. She had only entrusted the security work to Jiang Zhehao and requested that the security department and other departments cooperate. She would not interfere with Jiang Zhehao's actions, and he would not report everything honestly to her.
Moreover, she was actually very aware that Jiang Zhehao was quite unconvinced by Yuan in his heart, as he also operated a private detective business in addition to security work.
As the saying goes, fellow tradesmen are rivals.
Jiang Zhehao had his own plan for this matter. He likely wanted to quietly capture Yuan directly to prove his ability. Lan Zijun was very clear that as long as the other party's actions did not affect the result she wanted, she was too lazy to interfere.
As for a minor matter like a false fire alarm, it was not something she needed to worry about. Jiang Zhehao and the others would handle it.
"The first sticker has been posted for a long time. With Yuan's ability, he must have seen it by now."
"So what will his reaction be next?"
"You must also be able to see that this is a challenge, a gentleman's contest!"
Lan Zijun rubbed her smooth chin, a habitual gesture when she was thinking.
"Yuan, do you dare to come?"
