Chapter 939 - 938: Fault-Finding Frenzy

For someone as seasoned as Guo Jin, Mu Xiaoting's words were already very clear. This isn't just a casual chat; it's obviously from the perspective of Tianqing Company, and she's here to seek justice for Chu Ge, right?Of course, even though both he and Mu Xiaoting understood this tacitly, their conversation would certainly take a roundabout way. He simply followed the topic Mu Xiaoting raised and started a serious "discussion" with her about game-related issues.

If Mu Xiaoting had any slight agreement with what Mu Chongyi said over the phone earlier, now that she's spoken with Guo Jin for a bit, she realized thoroughly that this director barely understands gaming. Saying his understanding is still stuck on Tetris and Snake isn't an insult at all.

Stay current with work needs? Nonsense! All he ever talks about is high-sounding rhetoric, completely embodying "hollow words," making Mu Xiaoting very vexed.

After bearing with a few minutes of meaningless chatter, Mu Xiaoting stood up from the sofa, smiling as she took her leave.

"Uncle Guo, thank you so much for your guidance today. I've really learned a lot. I know you're busy, so I'll stop bothering you for now. I'll come seek your guidance again another time."

"Haha, Tingting, you're too modest. I've gained quite a bit myself today."

After some pleasantries, Guo Jin sent Mu Xiaoting out of the director's office. In the hallway, they shook hands again. As he watched her leave, his smile faded away, replaced by an inexplicable solemnity.

This matter... is peculiar! It seems I need to discuss this further with higher-ups.

Just as Guo Jin was thinking, his secretary knocked on the door and came in, "Director Guo, Ms. Qin from Tianjiao Group is outside. Should I let her in?"

Guo Jin was taken aback, his gaze shifting slightly. After a few seconds, he nodded, "Let her in."

Shortly after, Qin Ruojing walked into the director's office. She originally thought just seeing Guo Jin was good enough. To her surprise, although Director Guo's stance on Tianqing Company's matters wasn't very clear, and he spoke ambiguously, he was much warmer toward her than usual.

During the conversation, a seemingly casual remark from Guo Jin caught Qin Ruojing's attention. She kept mulling over it even after leaving the cultural bureau.

"Miss Qin, we've known each other for a while, right? You're so unkind, not telling me that Tianqing Company also has hidden talents."

Qin Ruojing didn't understand what Guo Jin meant by that. She didn't respond to it at the time, just smiled noncommittally. She thought Guo Jin might continue with the topic, but he unexpectedly shifted the conversation elsewhere.

Exiting the cultural bureau's office building and returning to her Audi A8, Qin Ruojing kept pondering over that statement, feeling more uneasy the more she thought about it.

Who are the so-called "hidden talents"? Could Guo Jin's unusually warm attitude today be because of these "hidden talents" within Tianqing Company?

After thinking on her own for a while, Qin Ruojing considered calling Tong Yaqi to inquire, but decided to save it for a face-to-face discussion, as it was too important.

Starting her car, Qin Ruojing headed straight for Tianqing Company and arrived at Tong Yaqi's office. She described her visit to the cultural bureau and expressed her concerns.

"Sister Yaqi, do you know what Director Guo meant by what he said? Hidden talents, who was he referring to?"

Initially, Qin Ruojing didn't expect Tong Yaqi to give her a direct answer; she was merely trying her luck.

After all, even though Tong Yaqi is the general manager, she wouldn't know all the company's details. This matter might be better directed to HR, but when she posed the question, Tong Yaqi furrowed her brow, thinking for a moment.

"Could it be... her?"

Tong Yaqi muttered, and Qin Ruojing was slightly surprised, quickly asking, "Her?"

"A girl who recently joined Tianqing. She studied in France and has exceptional work abilities, and also..."

Seeing Tong Yaqi pause, Qin Ruojing pressed, "And also what?"

Tong Yaqi hesitated for a few seconds before continuing, "And also, Chu Ge specifically instructed me that this girl has some background, asking me to find a way to make things difficult for her, to drive her out of the company, without being too excessive."

Hearing this, Qin Ruojing slightly furrowed her graceful brows, "What's going on here?"

Tong Yaqi recounted everything she knew and also had HR bring over Mu Xiaoting's employee records.

Seeing the photo on the record, Qin Ruojing was taken aback. Wasn't this the very girl she had just seen at the cultural bureau?

She gazed at the photo for a few seconds, pinched her brow, sighed slightly, with a wry smile.

It seemed pretty obvious now. This girl named Mu Xiaoting visited Guo Jin for a purpose similar to hers, to address the issues Tianqing Company currently faces. But the difference is, Guo Jin pays far more attention to Mu Xiaoting than to her, Qin Ruojing.

Besides Chu Shiyao, another person named Mu Xiaoting who was targeting Chu Ge emerged. Qin Ruojing really felt exhausted, so tired that she didn't even want to think about why Chu Ge wanted to drive Mu Xiaoting out of Tianqing Company; she only needed to know that this Mu Xiaoting was targeting Chu Ge was enough.

Tianqing Company had issues, and Chu Ge hadn't taken any action probably because everything was within his control? That's why he could remain calm and composed, not in a hurry at all?

Qin Ruojing originally wanted to meet Chu Ge or Mu Xiaoting to talk, but quickly abandoned the idea and left Tianqing Company, feeling uninterested after sitting for a few more minutes.

"Forget it, whatever happens, happens... I'm really foolish, truly."

Back at Tianjiao Building, in her office, Qin Ruojing leaned back in her chair, her gaze fixed on the desk where Chu Ge had once sat, muttering to herself.

Meanwhile, at the Culture Bureau.

Guo Jin paced anxiously in the director's office, reporting the situation to City Party Secretary Liao Zhengran. Upon hearing about the matter, Liao Zhengran also felt a headache, wondering what on earth this father and daughter duo were up to.

Despite the headache, he certainly couldn't ignore it. After pondering for more than two hours, he finally decided to understand the crux of the issue directly from the source. That was to communicate with Secretary Mu under the guise of reporting work, and subtly probe the situation.

When the provincial and city secretaries completed their communication, Liao Zhengran finally understood, oh, so this is how it is...

In understanding Secretary Mu's mindset, he had obviously made no misjudgment. The reason the situation had reached this point was entirely due to the differing opinions between Mu Chongyi and Mu Xiaoting, the father and daughter.

So... should he listen to the Secretary or the Secretary's daughter, was that even a question?

Without a doubt, regarding the issues at Tianqing Company, they still needed to "deeply explore the issues" and "vigorously solve the problems."

That afternoon, two more games produced by Tianqing Company were halted.

The next morning, the Lidu City tax bureau people visited Tianqing Company. In the afternoon, the fire department officials sternly pointed out many safety hazards that needed rectifying.

Just before off-time, another wave of police officers arrived, claiming they suspected a fugitive had blended into Tianqing Company. For everyone's safety and the safety of property, they must conduct a thorough investigation.

This time, the atmosphere at Tianqing Company became even more oppressive. Employees grew increasingly anxious unless one was blind, who wouldn't see that someone was deliberately targeting Tianqing?

To put it bluntly, if this trend continued, even if Tianqing had no problems, they could still find some.

A person in power, how can he lack accusations?

Even taking a step back, even if they couldn't find a flaw in an egg, letting them mess around like this would have an extremely adverse effect on Tianqing Company.

Faced with such a situation, Chu Ge responded with a cold laugh. "Make a fuss, keep making a fuss, create an uproar until a certain point, then Mu Chongyi should appear as the savior to calm this farce," he thought.

In the eyes of others, though, it felt different.

Mu Chongyi was satisfied, enjoying the feeling of watching the fire from the shore; he felt the fire was just right, and these subordinates had grasped his intentions very well.

Tong Yaqi was exhausted, mentally drained, yet powerless.

Qin Ruojing was shocked and puzzled. Hadn't Mu Xiaoting already communicated with Director Guo Jin of the Culture Bureau? Why? Why did the situation get worse? And why did Chu Ge still have no reaction?

Mu Xiaoting was furious. Facing such escalated behavior, she had to have a good talk with her father, but unfortunately, the result was a righteous rebuke from her father.

To put it simply, as they say, if the egg has no cracks, flies wouldn't buzz around; if Tianqing Company really had no issues, why would these people deliberately make trouble for Tianqing Company? Would they do it because they're bored with nothing else to do?

At this point, Mu Xiaoting finally had to ponder over some issues she had deliberately ignored or selectively overlooked before.

Could it be that the unreasonable disaster Tianqing was facing was really because of her? Was there really her father's shadow behind all this? To Chu Ge, was she really just a nuisance?

If... if these things were indeed done by her father, wouldn't he fear retribution for treating her savior this way?

When Chu Shiyao found out about this matter, she twirled her big eyes and a curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Hehe, interesting.
