79: Abyss Club

"Su Ge, are you going to work tomorrow?"

Li Haoyang's voice came from the phone, and Su Yue, holding the phone, smiled slightly.

"Of course I am," he replied lazily. "Has anything new happened at the company?"

Time flew by, and today was the fifth day of Su Yue's leave. He would be returning to work tomorrow.

"What could be new?" Li Haoyang's tone was a bit depressed. "You're on leave, Yang Qingmei is also on leave, and I wanted to take leave, but the higher-ups didn't approve it."

It was normal for Li Haoyang not to be able to take leave; he hadn't even worked for a year yet, so he didn't have annual leave at all. This was purely him trying to join in the fun and accompany Yang Qingmei on a trip during her leave.

However, Su Yue's attention wasn't on that. He opened his mouth in confusion, "Yang Qingmei is on leave? What about President Lan?"

"President Lan didn't take leave. This is supposedly a reward for Yang Qingmei." Li Haoyang became even more depressed when he mentioned this.

"President Lan didn't take leave?" Su Yue was even more confused.

Yang Qingmei was Lan Zijun's personal Secretary. Her leave time, and even her schedule, were highly consistent with Lan Zijun's.

This was a professional necessity. After all, being a personal Secretary was a relatively special job; it had many benefits, good treatment, high status in the company, and was of great help in improving one's abilities and expanding one's network. It was considered a relatively reliable upward channel for a very small number of young girls.

This was also the reason why many girls flocked to the position of Secretary; they weren't all aiming to be a male Boss's mistress.

But the price paid was a lack of freedom in time; they had to accommodate the Boss.

Su Yue had been with the company for several years and had never encountered a situation like this where Yang Qingmei was on leave, but Lan Zijun was not.

"Yes, President Lan has been staying at the company these past few days and hasn't gone anywhere. Moreover, she stays very late every day before leaving," Li Haoyang said mysteriously. "I think President Lan might be waiting for someone."

"Waiting for who?" Su Yue asked back.

"I don't know. Anyway, she was still at the company when I left." Li Haoyang was also a bit confused. He had been waiting for Lan Zijun to give him the next instruction these past few days, but he hadn't received anything.

This left him feeling quite resentful. President Lan, have you forgotten your golden little Intelligence Outpost?

This kind of psychology is similar to a child who has achieved something and is eager to show it off to others and anticipate their reaction. Li Haoyang was young to begin with, and he still retained a lot of childlike innocence.

"Oh no, Yang Qingmei is calling me, Su Ge, see you tomorrow," he suddenly said.

"Okay." This was a couple Su Yue had brought together, and Su Yue agreed with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Su Yue glanced at the second floor.

He was standing in the courtyard at this moment and could see that Lin Jia's bedroom window was still dark; she hadn't returned yet.

This was also normal. Lin Jia was usually like this. She had a group of close friends who were both her clients and her friends, and she often accompanied them shopping, eating, singing K, and even traveling.

In addition, she often needed to travel for business to major cities.

Even though Su Yue lived under the same roof as her, he often only saw her two or three times a month.

However, she wasn't on a business trip this time; she was simply busy, so busy that even though she came home every day, she had no time to pay attention to other things.

Even when the construction team entered the site and started laying steel bars and pouring concrete in the courtyard, Lin Jia didn't pay attention.

Su Yue understood this very well. He knew that Lin Jia must be busy collecting information about Wang Lin and Chuangtong Logistics through various channels, while also sorting through her past interactions with Chuangtong Logistics.

Su Yue greatly appreciated the enthusiasm of his subordinates for their work.

And at Su Yue's suggestion, she even gave up on trying to uncover the identity of the surveillance personnel.

Because digging out the other party's identity now wouldn't be of much use, and it might even alert them and prompt them to make a decision faster.

The construction team worked quickly. In just three days, they raised the entire courtyard by about half a meter according to Su Yue's requirements and laid a reinforced concrete ground layer near the wall corners.

The purpose of this reinforced concrete ground layer was to protect the foundations of these old houses. Last year, there was a drought followed by heavy rain, which caused many older buildings to experience some degree of foundation settlement. Although the house Su Yue rented did not experience this situation, it still needed to be prepared for.

The landlord had already replied to Su Yue. He expressed his appreciation and satisfaction that Su Yue would think of maintaining and repairing his house, promising that this part of the funds could be deducted from the rent. Anyway, the purpose of renting out the house was not for the rent money; his original intention was to have someone look after and repair his house while he was abroad.

Of course, this amount of money was not important. Su Yue was now a person with tens of millions in assets, and the entire project cost less than ten thousand yuan.

The real key was that this allowed him to maximize the protection of the basement within his capabilities. With a soil layer of one and a half meters thick, plus nearly thirty centimeters of reinforced concrete, Su Yue estimated that if someone wanted to target him, they would have to send in an excavator or directly use explosives.

And neither of these is basically possible in terms of public security in China.

In addition, another key point was that Su Yue inferred from the landlord's tone that the landlord was very likely not planning to return. At least not in the short term.

Because on WeChat, he sighed and complained that he shouldn't have sent his daughter abroad, or from the beginning, he should have accompanied her abroad to study, so she wouldn't have been so easily deceived by some rubbish foreign devils and become so devoted.

It was clear that the landlord was very distressed, and Su Yue also felt empathetic and sorry for the landlord.

The landlord was a good landlord, but unfortunately, when his daughter went to college, she was exposed to some so-called feminist ideas, and her brain might have had some problems. She always felt that foreign devils, even those from Black Africa, Congo, or even India, were better than Chinese men.

Perhaps the Ganges water is indeed holy water, and urinating and defecating on the street is indeed more civilized than using a squat toilet, and men who slap women unconscious in public at any time are indeed more gentlemanly. Su Yue didn't understand this either, he didn't dare to ask, and he didn't dare to say. He didn't know what kind of strange things universities are teaching nowadays.

Satisfied, he scanned the entire courtyard. The main work in the courtyard was now completed, and the rest was subsequent decoration, such as planting grass and trees in the exposed soil. He would complete those later when he had time.

Glancing at the second floor again, Su Yue returned to his room. New wooden flooring had been laid in the room, and the irregularly colored gray wooden floor looked very refreshing. Su Yue walked to the corner and casually lifted it, and a hole suddenly appeared.

Along a retractable ladder, Su Yue climbed down the hole and casually pressed the switch. The lights suddenly turned on, illuminating the surroundings.

In front of him was a door that looked very sturdy at first glance. A red glow flickered on the door. As soon as Su Yue stood in front of the door, there was a beep, and the red light turned green.

This was originally the entrance to the cellar. The light on the door was the Intelligence Outpost's detection device.

This was Su Yue's main achievement over the past five days. He had finally successfully moved the entrance to the Intelligence Outpost into the bedroom.

Su Yue casually pushed open the unlocked door and entered the Intelligence Outpost.

Without wasting any time, he went directly to the computer and opened the laptop.

Using his account and password, he remotely started his computer at the company, and then Su Yue entered Li Haoyang's super administrator account to log into the company's intranet.

Under the super administrator's permissions, all computers connected to the company's intranet were visible. Su Yue didn't waste any time and directly clicked on the group where the Administrative Department was located.

As expected, Lan Zijun's computer was still online.

Su Yue was a little confused. When Li Haoyang mentioned it before, he had paid attention.

Lan Zijun was a very time-conscious and self-disciplined person. Under normal circumstances, she would not ask others to work overtime, and she herself was a practitioner of not working overtime.

Even if she was at the company, she would choose to leave on time. It was rare for her to still be online at 7 PM like this.

Especially when Yang Qingmei was already on vacation.

Could she be waiting for him?

Su Yue smiled. When he took the money from Lan Zijun's office last time, he did tell Lan Zijun that he would contact her again and establish a reliable two-way communication method.

Although he had been digging a hole and modifying his Intelligence Outpost these past few days, he hadn't been idle either.

And now, it was time to show the results.

Su Yue gently clicked, and a chat box similar to QQ appeared on the screen. He casually typed a sentence: "Not resting yet? Waiting for someone?"

"Abyss?" The next second, a message suddenly popped up. It was clear that Lan Zijun was looking at her computer.

"It's me," Su Yue replied easily.

"How did you get into my computer? And what is this chat box?" Lan Zijun was clearly surprised.

"This is the contact method I prepared for you," Su Yue said with a smile on his face.

Lan Zijun might have mistakenly thought her computer had been invaded. Su Yue was quite satisfied with this misunderstanding.

Having Li Haoyang create a super administrator permission for his account was not a whim for Su Yue. He had always wanted to establish a communication platform that was unknown to outsiders and almost impossible to trace.

Using this platform, Su Yue could trade with his transaction partners at any time, including the transmission of information.

And this seemingly simple chat box in front of him was the result he had created.

And Su Yue gave it a name that was very much in his style.
