when the moon whispers

Six accomplices in the case
Nineteen auxiliary

The main light source of the conference room was not turned on, and the downlights along the wall narrowly cast out a few scattered beams of light, illuminating the pictures on both sides of the conference table that were suppressed by the overhead light from top to bottom. A face deformed by anxiety.

After Huo Ke finished solving the three emergencies, he smoked a cigarette in the fire escape again. With his head full of irritation and depression, he crept through the ajar door of the conference room, taking in the smell of cool air and cigarette smoke towards Shao Jie. As I stood next to him, my face was swollen by the "rumbling" hot air from the air conditioner with my shoulders up, and goosebumps appeared all over my body. I hid from the dazzling downlight light and raised my arms to shake. Shivered.

Shao Jie was "detained" by Xu Muyang and "detained" in a corner of the conference room to listen. He was so bored that he fell asleep. He looked up at Huo Ke with squinted eyelids that were almost glued together, and dragged the chair under his butt to him. He moved to an empty seat, and his tall and slender figure huddled up like a chicken in such a dark and inconspicuous corner.

"The legal guy hasn't arrived yet?"

Huo Ke arched Shao Jie's shoulders and glanced at the Huarongdao game interface on his mobile phone screen that had been completed and was waiting to be played. He wrinkled his nose and withdrew his sight. His voice was pressed very softly next to the ears of the two of them, which they could barely hear clearly. : "At what stage are we now?...can we still save face for him?"

"The legal affairs are still in Manager Xu's mobile phone." Shao Jie drooped his eyelids, quit the game and quickly browsed the local news piled in the notification bar, then frowned and glanced at the message Han Lu sent half an hour ago. After withdrawing the WeChat message, he paused for more than two seconds, raised his chin and clicked on the projection screen that had just been connected and turned on: "Cao Lian's departure from DRG is certain, so before leaving, he must dig out as much as possible from Manager Xu. Something that is beneficial to him - such as what is Manager Xu doing to stand on the same front with me so firmly, and another example... Manager Xu resolutely pushed him aside on behalf of DRG, right? There are other unexplained reasons mixed in, and these are directly related to what Jiang Weili will do to me in the future - fatal methods."

The "poisoning" incident in the express delivery was a commotion for most of the day. Xu Muyang brought up Cao Lian, who was obviously dissatisfied with advising him to voluntarily resign, and talked about the sunset. In the evening, the two sides dragged the coaching staff and operations team colleagues to their respective points. The two opposite sides sitting at the conference table couldn't argue about the pros and cons of the analyst's half-term termination of the contract. They turned around and took out the contract they had signed and went over it word for word for a long time. Finally, they brought up an analyst who was on a business trip from other places and was rushing back to Sheng'an. The legal consultant intends to make a final statement on the dispute over this annual salary contract that was revised many times before it was signed, and then the attendees will vote to agree on the most reasonable solution.

Xu Muyang folded his arms and leaned on the back of the chair, almost staring at Cao Lian's face that was lucky enough not to shed tears without seeing the coffin. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the people who still didn't know what was going on, but they simply didn't like her for a long time. His old qualifications were nothing to mention and he sighed softly.

"After all, you will still have to work in this circle from now on. Everyone will look down without looking up... I wanted to leave you a bit of a thin face, but I really didn't expect that Teacher Cao himself doesn't want this face."

Xu Muyang stretched out his hand and turned the legal consultant who was anxious and sweating in the taxi around, making sure that the camera could completely capture Cao Lian's calm face, which suddenly became unbearable when he saw the projection screen, and then turned around Clicking on the slideshow that he had prepared for so long, he raised his hand to suppress the uproar of surprise that erupted in the conference room.

"This was sent via email some time ago by an unlucky friend of mine who had his press pass revoked in the name of false reporting for collecting evidence to report match-fixing and betting... the video and the private contact between Cao Lian and Jiang Weili. Photos, and a related recording about the pre-match meeting." Xu Muyang snapped his fingers, and pointed his fingertips from a distance towards the space between Cao Lian's eyebrows that were twisted together as he tried to interrupt the argument.

"Listen to me - of course, you and Jiang Weili were good friends and partners before. It is understandable to meet in private. I will not assume that you have any principled issues just because of such a superficial connection. But -" Xu Muyang finalized the scene being broadcast, pointing to the chat interface copied from Jiang Weili's mobile phone, "Exchanging relevant details on the field with Jiang Weili during the game... Is there anything you want to explain, Cao Lian? "

Cao Lian's face turned pale. He rubbed his ears and pretended not to hear the support team beside him who immediately switched the focus of support at the moment when job security and practical interests were involved: "This...I can explain-" "You can explain. You were temporarily blinded by your own selfishness, although this is enough for you to pack up your bed and get out of the house with liquidated damages." Xu Muyang snorted lightly and tapped his nails on the table a little harder, "But these are actually not enough. Let me make up my mind to persuade you to 'take the initiative' to leave."

Cao Lian swallowed dryly and raised his eyebrows in confusion: "That's because Cheng Zi bumped into..."

"The things Cheng Zi encountered were similar to these. I can beat you at the review meeting like I did before, and then let Huo Ke and Tao Fang make some extra preparations when they compete with Jiang Weili's team - —After all, these things relayed in my opinion are not actual evidence. As you just said, the subsequent competition results can be linked to my investment promotion, giving up such a high-value and hot analyst like you. If we give it to other teams... I would also feel at a huge loss."

"Even when you deliberately lied about Shao Jie on the day he was beaten, I can consider that the value you created for the team is higher than the little tricks you used and pretend not to see it - but... the surveillance camera at the entrance of the restaurant will be repaired this morning. Okay, just now the police comrade kindly shared some small doubts with me."

Xu Muyang leaned forward slightly, held his chin and raised his eyelids to look at Cao Lian behind the laptop screen, then curled his lips and shook his head with regret.

"I can keep an analyst who cheats and cheats...but I really can't tolerate having a quasi-suspect under my hands who is confused, dares to take risks on behalf of others, and steps on the edge of the law."

Cao Lian was stunned by her almost straightforward words. He struggled for a moment with his mouth slightly open, but in the end he just waved his hands. He patted his butt and stood up, looking far away from where he was nesting. Shao Jie, who was yawning profusely in the corner, suddenly turned his head and glanced at Xu Muyang contemptuously: "Manager Xu, let me remind you before I leave... some of the victims here are really not necessarily anyone. A lamb for human slaughter. Be careful—be careful of making mistakes.”

Xu Muyang didn't comment at first, followed Cao Lian's intention and glanced back, looking back with a half-smile.

"Don't worry about family matters. Let's go through the formalities with legal affairs and human resources... while I'm still willing to get together and go away."

Due to work and health reasons, I will be working on alternate days~
