I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier
Chapter 717: High IQ and Academic Qualifications
It must be said that actually, the tactics this person employs are not too sophisticated; however, he feels that this person's network within the company is indeed extremely complicated.
Even if someone were able to see through all this, I'm afraid they would not have the nerve to expose him.
After all, this Director Huang holds the power of life and death in his hands, controlling all of the company's finances. If anyone offends him, the end result will certainly not be good.
Ye Chen suddenly feels that now that he views this Director Huang as his opponent, he must understand both himself and his enemy in order to triumph in every battle.
His understanding of Director Huang is far too limited; he doesn't even know his full name.
To obtain information about these senior executives from within the company, clearly Ye Chen does not have sufficient authority; only Guo Hongyu would be able to do this.
But now, if he goes to Guo Hongyu without any good reason to request these documents, Guo Hongyu will definitely question him left and right to get to the bottom of it.
Therefore, at this moment he cannot seek help from Guo Hongyu. The only one who might be able to assist him is probably Guo Tao.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen took out his phone and dialed Guo Tao's number.
Previously, Guo Tao had told Ye Chen that if he encountered any difficulty or trouble within the company, he would do his utmost to help.
He didn't want to bother the old man so soon, but now he had no choice but to get some information in advance. If he waits until later, it might be too late.
"Hello, what's up, Ye Chen?"
Seeing Ye Chen's call, the old man hardly hesitated. He knew that Ye Chen would not contact him unless it was absolutely necessary.
"I'm really sorry to disturb you at this time, but I still can't go to someone else for help."
"I've already told you, whatever request you make, I will try to satisfy. Tell me, what do you need my help with this time?"
"I want some information on a few senior executives in the company, especially this Director Huang. Could you help me with that?"
"Director Huang? Are you suspecting that Director Huang has some issues?"
"I can't put my finger on it, but something about this person feels odd, and he has too much power in his hands. I just feel that this person probably has some problems."
"Ha, Ye Chen, it seems I really did not misjudge you. Indeed, I've noticed for a while that there are some issues with Director Huang, but because of his entangled relationships within the company and his deep roots, it's not so simple to act against him."
"Old man, are you saying that you've had suspicions about him for some time?"
"Yes, the reason why I had you infiltrate the company is because I believe that as you proceed step by step, you should be able to see it. I just didn't expect that you would notice it after only a day at work."
"Yes, I just feel that there's something off about this man. Although on the surface his speech and behavior don't seem to have any major issues, something always feels strange."
"So it's a rather troublesome matter, alright. I'll send the information to your email as soon as possible. Why don't you ask Hongyu for these materials?"
"I got the impression from our conversation that he trusts Mr. Huang quite a bit, so I don't want to startle the snake by beating the grass at this time, nor do I want Hongyu to slip up in front of him. Everything should continue as usual."
"Right, you're smart. The reason I didn't tell him all this is that I'm afraid he might give himself away in front of Old Huang, which would make things even more troublesome. You see, Huang Guosheng is an old fox, not easily dealt with."
"By the way, I really want to ask why he's been in control of the financial power for so many years?"
"It has been like this for years. A few years back, I didn't notice anything, but later on, I started to feel something was off. Moreover, the power he holds is just too great. But suddenly taking it back from him would indeed be troublesome, so now I'm having Hongyu gradually step in to start taking back some of those powers."
"If you do it like that, I believe he'll quickly catch on."
"If he catches on, there's nothing I can do. After all, it's Hongyu's doing, not really my concern. It just requires a process. Besides, with you by my side now, I believe you would be able to help him control everything."
"Got it, I'll be careful."
"I heard from the company that you're planning to catch ghosts tonight?"
"What ghost-catching? It's obviously man-made. As for the reason, I'll need to investigate thoroughly. After I figure it out, naturally, I'll give you a satisfactory response."
"Good, I feel I haven't misjudged you. Alright, I'm sending it to your email right away. That's all."
After finishing the call, he hung up. Ye Chen then opened his computer and waited around for about two minutes. Afterward, he saw that he had received an email.
He downloaded the content of the attachments and glanced through them. They contained information about various high-level personnel, with Huang Guosheng ranked first.
Opening it to take a look, his personal resume seemed quite simple. Before joining this company, he had been forging his way abroad. Yet once he returned to the Domestic scene that year, he went directly into the role of Vice President at this company and has persisted until today.
Being able to secure the position of Vice President immediately upon returning suggests how formidable he must be. Furthermore, his overseas resume is anything but simple, all involving high-level personnel from listed companies.
In terms of management, especially regarding finances, he seemed to have profound research. After all, he graduated with a finance degree and holds a master's from some well-known international schools.
In his age group and at that time, being able to obtain such qualifications was already very rare, so just this point alone impressed Ye Chen.
If this is the case, then this person must possess some capability, but even so, dealing with someone like this seems more troublesome for Ye Chen.
After all, he's one of those with high intelligence and high academic qualifications. If this were an ordinary person from society, maybe he could handle it.
The key issue is, Ye Chen can also understand, if he was not a person of high intelligence and education, then how could he possibly have managed the company's financial power for so many years with such ease?
Ye Chen spent the afternoon getting to know all the company's high-level personnel above the Vice President level.
Some of them seemed to have no apparent connection, but he felt that there must be some underlying links between them.
As for what kind of relationship that would be, it would have to be confirmed in the next steps.
