"What's the deal with these beauty care medicines?"

Zhuge Jianguo asked coldly.

"It's none of my business."

The front desk girl crumbled instantly under the intimidating gaze of Yanjing's richest young man.

Manager Liu was sweating profusely, and with a thud, he knelt on the ground, slapping himself hard several times, wailing and begging for forgiveness: "Young master, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been greedy."

"Oh? How were you greedy? Just be honest." Lin Hai said coldly.

"Young Master Lin, Boss Lin, I was wrong, I shouldn't have been blind and offended you." Manager Liu wiped his sweat, looking terrified.

"Answer my previous question!" Lin Hai did not give him any chance to breathe mentally.

Finally, under Lin Hai's aggressive pressure, Manager Liu confessed in one breath how he used the position of head of the No.1 sales point to find ways to extract limited-sale top-quality beauty medicines from the warehouse each month, then got the front desk girl to cooperate with Sister Wang to sell them on the black market for profit.

In fact, this kind of practice is something someone in every company might do.

However, Lin Hai deeply loathes it.

The biggest downside of this practice is that the products for the next month cannot meet the needs of top-quality customers, and over time, there will be customers who can't buy the beauty medicine, thus leading to loss of clientele.

Corruption starts from this root, decaying bit by bit until it collapses the entire company.

Lin Hai knew that if he didn't handle the situation well today, every sales point could potentially imitate it, exploiting their positions for personal gain at the company's expense.

"What do you think is the right way to handle this, Murong Yu?" Lin Hai asked.

Murong Yu's resume mentions company law as her second major, so asking her is correct.

"Based on this manager's behavior, it constitutes using his position to intentionally embezzle public and private property, as well as dereliction of duty and corruption, so we can call the police."

Manager Liu collapsed upon hearing this.

"And what about the front desk girl and this outsider, Sister Wang?" Lin Hai deliberately emphasized the word "outsider."

Sister Wang lowered her head in shame, wishing she could disappear.

Earlier, as an outsider, she scolded the true head of Linya Pharmaceutical.

"The front desk girl's crime is only one count of corruption less than Manager Liu."

"As for Sister Wang, she has already committed theft. If we consider it theft, Manager Liu and the front desk girl should be seen as accomplices too, specifically defined after an investigation by public security."

Murong Yu answered efficiently.

"Alright, let's do it that way. Jianguo, report it to the police, and given Manager Liu's arrogant behavior just now, he might have some connections, but they should act impartially if you're involved." Lin Hai instructed.

Zhuge Jianguo glanced at Manager Liu with a cold smile, thinking, "You brat, playing tricks in my company's territory, it's lucky Brother Lin found you today. Otherwise, who knows, while benefitting, you might curse me for being stupid."

"Brother Lin, the report's done. The police said they'll arrive soon, don't worry." Zhuge Jianguo put down his phone.

Upon hearing the news, Manager Liu and the others turned deathly pale, feeling icy cold as if fallen into an ice cave; it's all over.

As for the other unrelated staff in the company, like the security guards, they all respected Lin Hai immensely, not daring to make a sound.

"Go to the warehouse and get several doses of top-quality beauty medicine. Huh? You kid resemble a friend of mine. What's your name?" Lin Hai noticed a security guard who looked a lot like Fan Jian, with an MP4 in his pocket seemingly better branded than Fan Jian's back in the day.

"I... I'm called Hao Jian."

The junior security guard was nervous and hasty when Lin Hai asked him.

"Hao... So cheap? Pfft!"

Lin Hai nearly burst out laughing.

Sh*t, this guy, with his chubby body and lecherous eyes, is a dead ringer for Fan Jian, even with a similar name.

"Alright, since the former head of security was fired, you're now the security captain of the No.1 sales point, with an extra thousand bucks on your salary monthly and increased annual bonus."

It seems that Hao Jian and Fan Jian share similar circumstances, both not doing well, or they wouldn't be junior security guards.

Thinking back to the time when he was a security guard under the CEO's wife and the brothers weren't well off, Lin Hai immediately offered his special "care."

Upon hearing it, Hao Jian was stunned; happiness seemed to come so quickly.

The surrounding security guards eyed him with envy; why didn't such a good thing happen to them, earning Lin Hai's recognition?

"By the way, Hao Jian, do you know anything about sales?" Lin Hai suddenly thought of another question.

"Huh? Sales? President Lin, I don't know about that, I only know how to be a security guard..." Hao Jian "shyly" scratched his head.

"Oh, I see... Looks like a sales position needs to be found elsewhere." Lin Hai murmured.

The surrounding security guards wished they could substitute Hao Jian and agree.

It's a management role.

High salary, less suffering, good status, countless people scramble for it.

"Hao Jian, hurry up and agree." A buddy reminded him.

Hao Jian shyly shook his head, replying sincerely: "But I really don't know about sales; I only have an elementary education and fed pigs in the military for two years. I can watch movies, sales depend on looks... can't do it."

"Why do I feel like this Hao Jian is a bit similar to our company's Fan Jian, except younger, a bit immature, hasn't turned into an experienced old-timer yet..." Ouyang Xiaoya whispered a complaint in Lin Hai's ear.

"Hehe, he's an honest guy." Lin Hai said, squinting with a smile.

"Alright bro, work hard, if there's any difficulty, you can call Zhuge Jianguo, and let him relay it to me."

As he left, Lin Hai patted Hao Jian's shoulder.

Hao Jian showed a sincere, kind-hearted smile.

The surrounding security guards were extremely envious; it's like climbing a big tree.

The remaining matters were left to the CEO to handle.

Ouyang Xiaoya followed with her signature saying "the company doesn't keep freeloaders," and swiftly began radical reforms at the No.1 sales point.

Liu and the other three were taken away by the police; their fate looked like picking up soap in jail.

As for the head of security, he was mercilessly fired by the CEO without a chance, and even his previous cronies rolled up their mats and left.

...

After sending the CEO back, Lin Hai personally drove Diva Zi home.

On the way, Diva Zi kept watching Lin Hai curiously.

"Geez, Diva Zi, you're looking at me makes me a bit shy; people might blush."

"I was just curious; Mr. Lin's behavior just now seems to imply you know kung fu." Diva Zi asked.

"A little, I used to serve in the army." Lin Hai replied vaguely.

"I couldn't tell, I thought Mr. Lin was professionally from the business world." Diva Zi was once again surprised; Lin Hai's seemingly casual demeanor earlier showed remarkable insight, and his few casual arrangements, seemingly nothing special, turned out to be the finishing touch, seamlessly working with Ouyang Xiaoya to overhaul the loopholes in the No.1 sales point's system.

These things, even a professional wouldn't be able to detect all at once, yet Lin Hai could effortlessly pinpoint them.

"Maybe it's a personal talent." Diva Zi thought this could be explained, like her singing was slightly better than others since childhood.

Soon, the car arrived at Diva Zi's residence.

And at this moment, late at night, a man and a woman alone inside the car, under the gentle moonlight, the atmosphere seemed a bit ambiguous...
