Chapter 146 A Grand Scheme

The quick-witted President Pei quickly pieced together a dramatic scenario in his mind.

On the weekend, Tang Yishu came to the company as usual to clean the litter box for "Yintang."

Normally, the company should have been empty and deserted.

However, Tang Yishu had seen someone suspiciously bustling around at a workstation, which was why she worried that someone might be stealing company secrets...

Although Pei Qian knew very well that the company didn't have any secrets worth stealing, and that Tang Yishu was simply overthinking due to her lack of work experience, it mostly proved that someone was secretly working overtime at the company!

Who was it!

President Pei had repeatedly emphasized that overtime required a report and application; President Pei had to approve it before overtime was allowed, and unauthorized overtime was strictly prohibited.

Working overtime at home was fine. If someone secretly modified documents at home and uploaded them on Monday, President Pei couldn't investigate and could only turn a blind eye.

But working overtime at the company without approval was President Pei's bottom line, and he absolutely couldn't condone it!

After all, when working overtime at home, few people could maintain high efficiency; they might start playing after working for a short while, so the harm wasn't that great.

But working overtime at the company would significantly improve efficiency in all aspects and easily lead to bad habits, so the harm was incomparable.

Pei Qian originally wanted to ask Tang Yishu, but considering that Tang Yishu had only been working for a short time, he estimated that she didn't know any of the employees and couldn't say for sure who she had encountered on the weekend.

"Easy, I'll just check the backend."

Pei Qian immediately opened the backend to check the company's access control records and the upload records for design documents.

There were only two access control records on Saturday: Tang Yishu and a guy from the administration department.

And there were four document submission records on Saturday, all submitted by Li Yada.

Pei Qian considered for a moment and sent a message to call Xiao Zhou from the administration department and Li Yada to the office.

The two of them came to President Pei's office and exchanged glances, seeming to realize something.

They weren't even in the same department, and their work rarely overlapped. What else could it be if they were called in by President Pei together now?

Although they were a little uneasy, they remained calm.

Pei Qian looked at Xiao Zhou, "There's an overtime record for you on Saturday. Did you come to the company to work overtime?"

Xiao Zhou hurriedly nodded, "Yes, President Pei, I had some recruitment work that wasn't finished, so I worked overtime temporarily."

Pei Qian was silent for a moment; that was a pretty good reason.

Recently, some people in the administration department had been fully cooperating with the human resources department to organize the recruitment fair, and Xiao Zhou was one of them.

Moreover, because the administration department's work was usually more relaxed, Pei Qian trusted this department more and never interfered with their overtime or required them to report it.

Pei Qian looked at Li Yada again, "Did you come to work overtime too?"

Li Yada quickly said, "No, I just modified a few documents at home."

The document modification records only saved the modifier and modification time, and didn't show which computer it was modified on.

Pei Qian nodded slightly.

Could I be overthinking it?

Someone did come to work overtime on Saturday, but it wasn't a problem for Xiao Zhou from the administration department to come to work overtime, since he wasn't in charge of a project that would make a lot of money.

As for the document modification records, Li Yada uploaded them at home, so it didn't seem like a big deal either.

Pei Qian nodded, "Okay, that's all. You can go out now, remember to record your overtime hours and get overtime pay from the finance department."

The two of them also breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.

Pei Qian continued to watch his drama.

Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong again.

The current management model seemed to have obvious loopholes!

What if someone used the administration department's work card to work overtime?

He couldn't completely rule out that possibility!

Thinking of this, Pei Qian sent a message to Tang Yishu, "I'm assigning you a task."

Tang Yishu, "Okay, Senior."

Pei Qian, "In the future, when you come to the company on Saturdays and Sundays, check the number of people in the company and record which people are there, then report to me on Monday."

Tang Yishu, "Senior, I can't remember everyone's names, should I ask them?"

Pei Qian, "No, no, no, don't ask them. This is mainly to give a small reward to the employees who work overtime, to give them a surprise, it won't be fun if you say it out loud."

"It doesn't matter if you can't remember their names, you just need to remember some key characteristics, such as: male, short and thin; male, high hairline; female, wearing glasses."

Tang Yishu, "Okay, I understand, Senior."

Pei Qian, "Then can you try to describe the person who came to the company last weekend?"

After half a minute, there was no reply.

On the other side, Tang Yishu was caught in a dilemma.

She looked at Bao Xu, who was playing games as if nothing had happened, and then looked in the direction of Pei Qian's office.

The situation seemed a little confusing.

"This big brother with a slightly high hairline did tell me not to tell Senior that he came to work overtime."

"But Senior is asking about it..."

Tang Yishu was a little conflicted, and after thinking for a few seconds, she replied, "Senior, this is for giving rewards, right? There won't be any punishment, right?"

Pei Qian, "That's right!"

Tang Yishu thought for a while and replied, "Then can I ask him if he wants a reward first?"

Pei Qian:?

Ask him if he wants a reward? Wouldn't that expose my intentions?

He quickly replied, "No need, just tell me his characteristics."

Tang Yishu replied, "No, Senior. I promised I wouldn't say."

Pei Qian:?

There really was a problem!

And he was almost tricked!

Pei Qian instantly became Sherlock Holmes and confirmed several facts.

Tang Yishu must have seen other people when she worked overtime on the weekend, and it was probably not Xiao Zhou from the administration department.

Because Xiao Zhou was allowed to work overtime, he didn't need to emphasize to Tang Yishu not to tell.

Someone must have used Xiao Zhou's work card to secretly work overtime, and Xiao Zhou was covering for him!

But Pei Qian tried to get more information from Tang Yishu, but he couldn't.

It could only be said that this child was too honest. If Pei Qian had initially said that the problem was very serious and that someone might be stealing company secrets, then Tang Yishu might have told the truth.

But now, Tang Yishu already knew that this person was just working overtime normally, and there was no possibility of stealing company secrets. Based on the simple idea of "if you promise someone, you must keep your promise," she decided to keep it a secret for him.

Pei Qian thought for a while and replied, "Forget it."

"The next time someone comes to work overtime, just silently record their name or characteristics, and then send it to me privately. Is this task okay?"

Tang Yishu, "Okay, Senior, I will definitely complete the task."

Pei Qian thought about it. He shouldn't make a fuss about it, and he shouldn't startle the snake.

He could catch this mole sooner or later, so there was no need to rush. As long as he didn't change his ways in the future and continued to commit crimes against the wind, President Pei would catch him one day.

The reason why Pei Qian decided not to make a fuss was mainly to protect Tang Yishu.

To make the mole think that Tang Yishu was very kind, very obedient, and wouldn't tell President Pei, so he would slowly relax his vigilance.

And Pei Qian could use Tang Yishu to perfectly grasp the dynamics of everyone working overtime on the weekends!

At that time, those overtime dogs who were caught wouldn't know how they were exposed, and they wouldn't know that everything was actually under President Pei's control...

The mole thought he was doing it perfectly, but every move he made had already been caught by President Pei.

"Hmph, trying to fight me, you're still too inexperienced!" Pei Qian leaned back on his boss's chair triumphantly, waiting for the truth to come out.

...

...

December 1st, Wednesday.

Xiao Sun was preparing to go to the airport to pick up Ruan Guangjian.

As President Pei's personal driver, Xiao Sun's driving skills were absolutely top-notch, and he was also efficient, so he was deeply trusted by President Pei.

Usually, when there were business receptions, such as Qiao Laoshi and Zhang Zuting coming to Jingzhou, Xiao Sun would pick them up, and this time was no exception.

Before leaving, Pei Qian pulled Xiao Sun aside again and gave him a few simple instructions.

"After meeting Ruan Guangjian, first take him to the hotel, let him put down his things and rest a little."

"Then, take him directly to the amusement park!"

"Arrange for him to ride the roller coaster non-stop."

"After he's had enough fun, take him to Swan Lake Restaurant for dinner in the evening."

"Remember, you must let him have fun in the amusement park, if he doesn't have enough fun, I'll hold you accountable, understand?"

Pei Qian repeatedly urged.

Today was Wednesday, and there wouldn't be any vacancies at Ming Yun Private Kitchen until Sunday, so he could only wrong Ruan Guangjian at Swan Lake Restaurant.

Arranging for him to ride the roller coaster non-stop as soon as he arrived in Jingzhou was a show of strength, a disciplinary measure to first blunt Ruan Guangjian's edge!

Who told you to crazily arrange for me? I have to arrange for you in return!

Pei Qian thought it over. Xiao Sun was efficient and reliable, so he should train him more. In the future, he would be the guide.

When these "VIPs" on President Pei's little black book came to Jingzhou, he would first have Xiao Sun lead them to enjoy a roller coaster package.

Xiao Sun nodded quickly, "President Pei, don't worry, I'll definitely arrange it properly!"

Although he didn't know why President Pei was so fond of extreme sports such as roller coasters and bungee jumping, since it was a task personally assigned by President Pei, he had to complete it seriously.

Arriving at the airport, he met Ruan Guangjian smoothly.

Ruan Guangjian didn't bring much luggage this time, just a suitcase and a backpack. The backpack contained a drawing tablet, a laptop, and so on, while the suitcase contained a change of clothes.

Xiao Sun took Ruan Guangjian to the hotel, and after putting down his luggage and resting for a while, he drove off again.

"So, we're going to Tengda now, right?" Ruan Guangjian asked.

Xiao Sun smiled, "We're not going to Tengda."

"President Pei said that you've come from afar and worked hard, so he told me to take you to experience the local customs and culture of Jingzhou."

Ruan Guangjian was a little confused, "What's so good about experiencing the local customs and culture? Are we going to some scenic spots?"

Xiao Sun shook his head, "Not scenic spots, an amusement park. I'll take you to experience the roller coaster, the drop tower, the pendulum ride, and the haunted house."

Ruan Guangjian looked blank and fell silent.

Then he asked curiously, "How did President Pei know that I like to play these things???"
