Chapter 139: Face to Face (2)

Zhang Cui did not understand what she meant. Seeing that Director Lu was in deep thought, she said, “Director Lu, if there’s nothing else, I’ll get going.”

“Wait,” Lu Manman called out.

“Yes,” Zhang Cui said respectfully.

“Don’t tell anyone what I just asked you, no matter who it is.”

“Yes.”

“Also, do you know anyone from the technology company?”

“I’ve worked with an accountant who reviewed a contract when we were discussing a collaboration. I haven’t contacted them in a while, but I can try contacting them.”

“No need. Just tell me who it is. I’ll find a way to contact them.”

“Her name is Liu Qian, an accountant. I’m not sure if there have been any changes to her position,” Zhang Cui said.

“Alright.” Lu Manman nodded. “You can go ahead with your stuff now.”

“Yes.”

“Remember what I just said.” Lu Manman reminded her.

“Yes.”

After Zhang Cui left, the office was extremely quiet.

Qin Ao’s existence was practically negligible.

Lu Manman pursed her lips and thought for a while before making a phone call.

The call was picked up lazily, and the other party sounded a little confused. “Miss Lu, what are you doing so early?”

“Ye Heng, I’m sorry to disrupt your sleep at nine-thirty in the morning. There’s something troubling me. Please help me with it,” Lu Manman said very seriously.

Ye Heng yawned. “Speak your mind.”

“Help me investigate a person named Liu Qian. She’s an accountant at Pioneer Information Technology Co., Ltd. I need to know more details about her, including how long she’s been working at Pioneer Information Technology, her relationship with the president, her usual performance, capabilities, etc. The more details, the better.”

“Alright,” Ye Heng answered lazily.

Lu Manman did not care. She knew that this man looked like a dandy, but he would surely do what he promised.

“Oh, right. How’s the investigation on Wu Zhengwei that I got you to help me with?”

“Not much progress at the moment, but he does have a relationship with Lu Zichuan. Investigating whether they have any financial dealings will take some time because we don’t know if they do it in cash or by bank transfers. It’ll be more troublesome if they do it in cash, and of course, it won’t be easy to investigate if it’s bank transfers. If it’s a business crime, nobody would be so silly as to use their ID cards.”

“I think Liu Qian might be able to provide some clues for your investigation.”

“Let’s hope so.”

“Please inform me if you have any news. Thank you.” With that, she hung up.

She got up from her chair and headed out.

Qin Ao followed closely behind.

Sometimes, she felt that it was too obvious for him to be by her side. Who would bring along their personal bodyguard for twenty-four hours? It made her seem like an idiot. But after some hesitation, she eventually relented.

At least, it was better than being assassinated all of a sudden.

She walked toward the general department but did not go to the filing room to get her purchase list and contract this time. She knew very well that she would not be getting anything at this point. Hence, she decided to take a gamble.

She knocked on Yue Nan’s office door.

Yue Nan looked at her, a little shocked. However, he still appeared respectful as he asked, “Director Lu, what’s the matter?”

“I have something to discuss with you, both in private and in public.”

Yue Nan furrowed his brows.

Something had happened to the chairman over the past two days, and he’d heard that there was some conflict between Lu Manman and the deputy chairman. Now that she was here to look for him, it seemed like it was impossible for him to stay out of this.
