Zhong Guotao stood in front of the huge glass curtain wall, took a few puffs of cigarette, and looked extremely solemn. Just now, he received a chilling news.
Xia Botao was questioned by the Discipline Inspection Commission!
When he learned the news, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Time goes back to half a month ago. In the early morning of this day, Zhong Guotao walked into the office as usual, turned on the computer, and clicked on the mailbox, just as he was preparing to start a day of work.
An anonymous email suddenly caught his eye.
Zhong Guotao has a personal habit. Every morning when he starts working, he will read yesterday's daily work report of his subordinates, because this way he can accurately know the progress of each project and adjust the work plan at any time.
Of course, the Jumao Group has a big business, so not everyone is qualified to send him work emails. Only the company's senior executives will report directly to him. The amount of reading is not as large as expected. A few emails don't cost much.
time.
And all senders use the company's internal mailbox.
Therefore, this strange anonymous email is particularly special.
In fact, Zhong Guotao didn't click on the email at first. He just thought it was a spam email. After reading his subordinate's report, he stopped caring about it.
Then, as soon as he got busy, he forgot about it.
Until the next morning, when Zhong Guotao opened his mailbox again and read the daily newspaper, the email was still lying there, with eye-catching red dots, reminding him that the email was unread.
Since I am using a company email, the toolbar above does not have the one-click read function. To implement the one-click read function, you need to press Ctrl+A to select all, then click the mouse on the email and select Mark as ‘read’.
These few simple operations are of course nothing to young people, but for middle-aged and elderly people like Zhong Guotao who do not use computers often, they are particularly troublesome.
Therefore, when he encounters this kind of situation, he usually clicks on the email, glances at it, and then looks away.
Just like that, Zhong Guotao clicked on this ‘spam email’.
At this point, his gaze seemed to be nailed to death and he never looked away.
He was shocked by the content of the email!
The things in the email, one after another, are all things he has done. Some things are so long ago that if it weren't for this email, he might have forgotten it.
Zhong Guotao's first reaction after reading the email was that someone was going to mess with him!
After decades of ups and downs in the business world, no one has a few enemies. For a moment, the names of several people flashed through his mind. These people were either his competitors or people he had offended.
However, there was one thing that confused him.
The people who know you best are often not your friends, but your opponents. People who can compete with Zhong Guotao are naturally not simple people.
Although the content in the email may seem scary, the more serious matters in it have all passed the prosecution period, and it is impossible for his opponents not to know this.
So, what is the purpose of sending this email?
Simple intimidation?
show off?
Or is it a reminder?
Anyone who knows him knows that this little trick is useless to him. How could he, Zhong Guotao, be frightened by an email?
He will not compromise just because of an email!
Therefore, he quickly eliminated those names.
As a result, Zhong Guotao couldn't guess who sent it, but he had a big heart and was not particularly worried about it.
Since the other party has sent this email, there will definitely be other actions.
To paraphrase a sentence from the movie, let the bullets fly for a while. If the enemy doesn't move and I don't move, it's nothing more than soldiers coming to block it and water coming to cover it.
Want to make him give in with a small email?
Zhong Guotao could only smile coldly, the other party was obviously overthinking.
As a result, after waiting and waiting, there was no movement for one day, no movement for two days, and no movement for a week, until now half a month later.
Movement is coming!
This move was simply earth-shattering!
Who is Xia Botao?
Anyone who is familiar with Zhong Guotao knows that he is his close comrade-in-arms and his biggest supporter!
Although he was only taken for questioning by the Discipline Inspection Commission, this was undoubtedly a very dangerous signal.
No one in the Xia Kingdom knows that being taken for questioning for no reason is self-evident.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
'I want to walk from south to north, I want to walk from white to black...'
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The phone kept ringing, but Zhong Guotao ignored it. This was not the first call in the morning. Ever since the news about Zhong Guotao came out, his phone had not stopped ringing.
After casually glancing at the caller, Zhong Guotao knew what the caller wanted to ask even if he didn't answer the phone.
I just came here to test my tone and ask about the situation.
One or two of them came to ask him. The key is that he didn't know what happened!
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
'I want to walk from south to north, I want to walk from white to black...'
The phone rang again, and Zhong Guotao couldn't help but feel a little irritated. How could this favorite song of his youth sound so harsh now?
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The cell phone was still ringing stubbornly, like a reminder.
Zhong Guotao put out the cigarette butt and quickly walked to the phone.
hang up!
Shut down!
Done in one go!
When the phone screen went dark, the whole world suddenly became quiet.
Zhong Guotao walked to the glass curtain wall again, lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.
call!
suck!
The smell of tobacco passed through the trachea and circled in the lungs. Simply swallowing and puffing, Zhong Guotao felt that his anxious heart seemed to have calmed down a little.
I don’t know if it’s because there are no annoying phone calls, or because the pleasure brought by tobacco offsets some negative emotions.
After blowing out a smoke ring leisurely, Zhong Guotao stared aimlessly into the distance. At thirty floors, it was the tallest building nearby. As the chairman, his office was naturally on the top floor.
The view here is excellent, and you can have an unobstructed view of the busy traffic downstairs, the hurried office workers, and the bustling commercial streets.
When he has nothing to do, Zhong Guotao likes to stand here and look at the scenery. Standing here, it feels like the world is surrendering at his feet. It feels great.
When something happens, Zhong Guotao also likes to stand here and think. Standing here, everything under his feet reminds him all the time that he must cross this threshold, otherwise you will be like those people under your feet, running around for a living.
.
No, maybe it's not as good as that.
There will never be a shortage of people in this world who add insult to injury. If you lose power, your opponents will never mind giving you another kick to make you fall even deeper.
Boom! Boom!
"Director Zhong? Director Zhong? Are you there?"
Zhong Guotao heard the knock on the door and frowned. He had just told him that no one should disturb him.
Why did Xiao Liu come over anyway?
It seems it's time to change the secretary.
"What's up?"
Click.
The door slowly opened, and a young woman in her thirties slowly stepped into the office. She was about 170cm tall, and the ordinary professional attire she wore on her body made her look proud.
"I just received a call, directly to my personal number. A man asked you to check your email. The other person said it is very important."
