I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier
Chapter 705: Feigning Composure
"President Huang?"
"Exactly, President Huang, the one in charge of the entire company's finances. So, any transaction—be it tens of millions or billions on machinery equipment, or just a few dozen to a few hundred yuan—needs to be managed by him."
"What a big job that is—dealing with so many large and small companies every single day. Does he really handle all that by himself?"
"That's right, that's how it is. Therefore, over the years, everyone seems to be puzzled. How could an ordinary person have such great power? But he just does have such power, and currently, apart from the CEO, he's the highest-ranking person in the company."
"President Huang?"
At this point, Ye Chen just nods his head and then silently commits the name to memory. He has a feeling that this person might pose a great threat to him in the future.
"Alright, I get it. So, you're saying that all of these matters must be approved by President Huang before they can officially take effect and be carried out, right?"
"Yes, that's exactly it. With President Huang's signature, an approval form, once we have this project approval form, I can proceed with the execution. What kind of cameras do you want? What kind of equipment, what kind of contacts—we can manage all of that without any issues."
"Fine, after I get the form, I will instruct you on everything in time. By the way, regarding the haunting incidents that have been happening in the company recently, what's your view?"
"I don't know how to explain it; the incident has been spreading wildly legendary tales. I've experienced it myself, and especially at night, if I'm on the night shift, I pretty much stay locked in the room, too frightened to go out."
"When you're in the room, what about these cameras then? Have they been monitored?"
"Don't worry, as long as we're in the room, all the cameras are checked, so there won't be any problems. It's just that we dare not go out at night, including not using the water casually. It all automatically goes away by 6 am the next morning."
"So, you don't use water at all for the night?"
"We don't. You might not have noticed, but we have a rest room. There's a small plastic bottle in the room. To tell the truth, sometimes, to take care of business, we just use that plastic bottle—it just can't be helped until the next morning when we deal with it."
"If this goes on for a long time, it certainly can't be a long-term solution, can it? It would make everyone anxious and scatter their hearts, wouldn't it?"
"Yes, I'm well aware of that. But, so far including previously, mages, monks, and other experts have been consulted, yet no one has been able to solve the issue."
"Besides these strange phenomena, is there anything else?"
"Nothing else. At night, the building is extremely quiet; you can even hear a needle dropping clearly on the floor, you can't see anyone's shadow. So, this matter has gradually been shelved."
"Okay, I understand. So, after I start today, the first thing we'll do tonight is a ghost-hunting package."
"What? Ghost-hunting? Mr. Ye, what are you planning to do? Honestly, they've tried all sorts of methods before, and none have had any effect."
"I know, but I have my own ways of doing things. Their methods might not have worked, but it doesn't mean they won't work for me. So, help me get everything ready for tonight."
Upon saying this, Captain Yang seems to be momentarily sluggish.
After all, doing such a thing here is not what everyone hopes to see; it's also what they've avoided the most all along.
"Are you scared? Don't worry, I don't need you to do anything. I just need you to monitor all the cameras from the control room. Otherwise, just maintain communication with me."
"Oh, I see. But Mr. Ye, to be honest, I'm not scared. I just feel like, after all this back and forth without a good outcome... otherwise, how about this, I'll stay by your side? If anything needs doing, we can look out for each other. Don't worry, I'm certainly not scared of these entities; it just feels a bit sinister."
"No need for that, I'll have her accompany me."
When it comes to professionals, Ye Chen gestures towards Anying next to him, and she immediately looks up at Ye Chen.
"Mr. Ye, you're not joking with me, right? I should come with you?"
Anying purposefully acts timid, then directly addresses him.
"Yes, I need an assistant by my side, don't I? So, you see, there's nothing to worry about. There's really no such thing as ghosts in this world, so tonight should be the time for the truth to come out."
"Well, alright then."
Anying seems to reluctantly agree to all of this.
But all this must be part of Ye Chen's plan, his goal being to deceive these eyes so they have no idea what is actually happening.
"Mr. Ye, don't make it hard for the lady. If it won't do, I'll go with you. I am a man after all."
"It's fine. She needs some training by my side anyway, always looking like she's never seen the world before. How else is she supposed to survive in this building? So, you don't need to worry about it."
"Okay then, what else do you need me to help you with?"
"Generally speaking, when does this situation start?"
"At 7:00 p.m., so before 7:00 P.M. you can hardly see anyone in the building anymore. If you want to start investigating, then 7 o'clock is fine."
"Is it like this on every floor?"
