"Sigh, President Huang, regarding this matter, I just thought of something. I had a brief look this morning at the control room and got a basic understanding of the situation. Only then did I realize that on our 1st floor, there are three security cameras that don't seem to connect properly with the 15th floor, right?"

"Oh, that's a long-standing issue that hasn't been resolved for a long time. What, you mean to rearrange that area?"

"Of course. Moreover, the 1st floor lobby is a critical location. How could it be left isolated at the guard post? There's nobody actually watching there. If something unexpected happened, it seems like we really wouldn't be able to respond in time."

"Actually, I have already included this in my work plan, and I am planning to replace this batch of cameras very soon. When all the cameras are connected to the 15th floor, wouldn't that remove any worries for the future?"

In reality, although President Huang spoke smoothly and fluently, Ye Chen understood in his heart that these words were probably the same for everyone, especially you.

He would always use this excuse to continue delaying. For such a large company, the expense of three cameras is truly negligible.

Therefore, Ye Chen felt that if these people insisted on not changing the cameras, then he suspected there must be something fishy going on. Otherwise, they would not ignore this matter so thoroughly.

"Oh, President Huang, then, about how long will it take? Moreover, I feel that this matter is quite urgent and must be controlled in time."

"Uh, I know. I have considered this, and didn't I tell you? It's in the planning. And you know, with so many things to do every day and lots of meetings to attend, even for small purchases, they must be approved by me. So, no rush, it should be handled very soon."

It was clear that this was an endless delay. Ye Chen had already seen through this.

Ye Chen had prepared himself before coming; he knew that this person would not easily agree to everything. So even if he talks about it now, those people likely won't be able to do it.

"Okay, President Huang, then I will just wait here for your news, and see when you can bring the order to me."

"Rest assured, I will assign someone to liaise with you specifically on this matter. Besides, is there anything else?"

"No, there isn't."

"Oh, you are new here and not very familiar with many aspects of the company. How about this—I'll throw a welcome dinner for you tonight, and then we can sit down and have a good chat."

"President Huang, this... there's no need, really. I'm afraid I really can't tonight."

"What do you mean? Don't you want to integrate into our group quickly?"

"It's not that; I really want to be a part of this group. But tonight I have something special to do."

"Something special? Oh, I see, you're not going after that ghost rumor, are you?"

"Exactly, I have to investigate and clear up this matter tonight no matter what."

"I advise you, it's better not to meddle in this matter. Getting too involved could significantly impact your family and personal health."

"Oh, President Huang, is there really such a saying?"

"Yes, although I don't know the source of those rumors, I only know that someone insisted on checking it out before, but the next day they fell seriously ill and, reportedly, still can't even sit up in bed."

"Really, is it that serious?"

"Yes, as to whether it's that serious, I can't guarantee, as I haven't experienced it firsthand. But I tell you, many experts have been consulted before, and no one has been able to resolve it. So, I suggest you better not act recklessly."

"But if we do nothing, allowing it to continue like this, don't you think it breeds panic and unrest among everyone in the company?"

"It's not a big deal. Right now, I feel everyone is able to work in an orderly fashion. After all, this only happens after 7 pm. At worst, our company staff just won't work overtime. This is actually beneficial for the employees' development and doesn't affect our daytime business."

"But this cannot go on in the long term. Besides, there are so many security guards; they can't even carry out normal patrols at night."

"Look, isn't this exactly your professional concern? Yes, I have thought of this, but I'm also thinking, since this place is haunted and our people are so scared, do you think anyone else would dare enter the building? Don't worry, nothing will naturally happen. Let's just consider it a guardian of the night."

"Hehe, alright, I understand. But let me see what the situation is first. If I really can't handle it, then as you said, I will have to put it aside for the time being. After all, I'm just an ordinary human, dealing with ghosts and spirits may indeed be out of my league."

"Exactly, that's why I say, one must know their limitations. Take care of what's yours to handle, and if it's not, then don't interfere too much."

"Yes, President Huang, your lecture is correct. I understand now. By the way, at which floor is your office? I'll come visit when I have time."

"Oh, I'm on the 26th floor. Feel free to come up anytime—you'll find good tea and coffee there; whatever you want, I can offer."

"Hehe, thank you, President Huang."

"Sure, and since you can't make it tonight, why don't you set up a time? We should sit down and get to know one another better. After all, we have many dealings in the future, especially with the Security Department, which definitely has close contact with every department in the company."
