Yin Tao got to the agreed meeting place with Feng Jing as soon as she could. After getting into the car, she looked around vigilantly.
‘What’s wrong? Why are you so nervous?” Feng Jing noticed that Yin Tao’s expression was a little unnatural and turned around to ask her.
“I’m fine. I’m afraid of being seen by a colleague.” This was the first time Yin Tao had encountered such a situation. She was very worried that someone would recognize her.
“It’s not a big deal to be seen by a colleague.” Feng Jing looked at Yin Tao’s cautious expression and said with a smile, “You don’t look like an intern at all.
You’re more like a commercial spy sent by another company.”
“Commercial spy?” Yin Tao heard Feng Jing’s words and asked him curiously, “Brother Feng, do you think commercial spies will place bugging devices in their target’s office?”
Feng Jing shook his head and his expression became more serious. “It’s very difficult. Moreover, it’s so obvious that it’s illegal. Ordinary people wouldn’t be willing to take such a huge risk.”
‘What you said makes sense. The Wan Corporation has a lot of surveillance equipment. If it’s really discovered, they will definitely be prosecuted.” Yin Tao felt that the possibility of the bugging device in Wan The’s office being installed by a competitor was relatively low.
Putting aside the fact that this was illegal, Wan Zhe was not stupid either. He wouldn’t allow unfamiliar people the chance to sneak into his office.
‘Where did you find the bugging device?” Feng Jing finally understood why Yin Tao asked this question.
“Beneath Wan The’s desk.”
Yin Tao’s answer surprised Feng Jing. “How did you find out? Did Wan Zhe come to the company today?’
Compared to the bugging device, Feng Jing was more worried about Yin Tao’s safety.
“Wan Zhe didn’t come to the company. I met his new assistant. Wan Zhe’s current assistant was Xu Rui’s junior in school.” Yin Tao roughly told Feng Jing what had happened today, but she didn’t mention the conflict with Anna.
“The Wan family’s situaion is more complicated. Although their family business has been handed over to Wan Zhe to manage, there are still many people coveting Wan The’s position.” Feng Jing’s social circle was not too wide, but Lin Jia was the opposite of him. It was also because of Lin Jia that Feng Jing had a certain understanding of Wan Zhe’s situation.
“Brother Feng, you mean that the bugging device in Wan The’s office might have been installed by his family?” Yin Tao remembered that amongst Wan Zhe’s relatives, his brother Wan Xu would have been the closest to him.
“It’s possible, but we can’t rule out other possibilities.” Feng Jing felt that Wan Zhe should be able to guess who had installed the bugging device on him. However, with his and Yin Tao’s identities, it was not appropriate to tell him about this matter now.
Yin Tao nodded. ‘The person who also stand to inherit the Wan family’s assets would be Wan Zhe’s older brother.’
“But from what I understand, the relationship between the brothers is not bad. Moreover, his brother, Wan Xu, doesn’t seem to be very interested in the business. ‘
Feng Jing shot down Yin Tao’s guess. He had seen Wan The’s brother at a banquet. Wan Xu looked much more stable than Wan The. The main reason was that the relationship between the two brothers was indeed very harmonious.
“Wan The, and his uncles have always been very concerned about the Wan family’s business. Everyone can see this, but Old Master Wan is very satisfied with Wan The.”
Feng Jing remembered that when he was chatting with Lin Jia previously, he had said that Wan The’s uncle had been thinking of ways to cause trouble for Wan The’s business so that his brother would reconsider the successor of the Wan Corporation.
However, Wan Zhe handled it very appropriately. Not only did he bring the company through a crisis, but he also caused his uncle’s company to suffer a lot of losses. It was precisely because Wan Zhe distinguished between gratitude and grudges that everyone was afraid of his methods.
Yin Tao could understand that for a large family like the Wan family, it was very easy for relatives to turn against each other in order to fight for assets. This kind of business infighting was already considered mild. Some families have even resorted to violence.
“Wan Zhe seems to have a good head for business. If he really has nothing to do with the black market, I admire his ability more.” Feng Jing actually did not have much contact with Wan The. The two of them were not people who would take the initiative to express goodwill, so they were destined not to be friends.
“Did you find anything? The Wan Corporation has been working with the Jiang family recently. Could it be related to the black market?” Although Yin Tao didn’t know much about business, she had never had a good impression of Jiang Xing. She felt that things related to him wouldn’t be too good..
