Caught between advancing and retreating, a hand suddenly reached out from behind the door, grabbed the back of Huangfu Jun's collar, and pulled her inside.
Huangfu Jun barely steadied herself and turned back to see an unfamiliar young man.
Although his face was handsome, he wasn't the conventional handsome man. He had slender willow-shaped eyebrows and seductive eyes. He wore an exaggerated Dior suit covered in pigeon patterns and had a head of exaggerated green hair. His temperament was both enchanting and eerie.
Sensing Huangfu Jun's surprise, the man leaned close to her ear and said softly, "Don't be afraid. I'm your colleague, Guiche Jun."
This strange closeness gave Huangfu Jun goosebumps. She quickly stepped back two paces to maintain a safe distance.
Guiche Jun seemed completely unconcerned by her resistance. He reached out and pulled her to her own workstation, then whispered another reminder: "Sit still and don't move."
Without waiting for Huangfu Jun's response, Guiche Jun slipped away and quickly sat back down at his own workstation.
Huangfu Jun frowned slightly. Compared to the new employee Guiche Jun, the audit situation seemed more worrying.
She turned her eyes and looked around. Besides the newly appeared Guiche Jun, the workstation marked with the name Jin Ji was also occupied. It was a slender woman in a red cheongsam.
She had a head of chestnut yellow big waves, fair skin, thick eyebrows, big eyes, striking red lips, and was more beautiful than the most glamorous movie star.
Huangfu Jun noticed that the expressions of her office colleagues were very tense.
The white-bearded Shan Yang clumsily typed on the keyboard with two fingers, sweat constantly dripping from his forehead;
The middle-aged sister with steel-wool curly hair, Ying Wu, hugged two thick stacks of documents and busily stuffed them into file boxes;
The beautiful sister Jin Ji's ten fingers flew like butterflies, clattering nonstop on the keyboard, without even a moment to look up;
Even Guiche Jun, who had just entered work mode, was constantly checking various numbers in the documents with a calculator.
Just as Huangfu Jun sat down, the door was heavily knocked on. Without waiting for the people in the room to react, the door was abruptly pushed open, and a group of people in black uniforms entered, each with a stern expression, dominating the scene.
Huangfu Jun pursed her lips and sat up slightly.
Among the black-clothed people, the leader was a middle-aged man in his thirties.
He was thin, with a very straight back, wearing a pair of rigid black-rimmed glasses, and his thick eyebrows showed a state of perpetual furrow.
Although there were no wrinkles on his face, it looked somewhat dehydrated, somehow reminding people of a withered, lifeless plant.
The man first walked to the empty space in front of the workstation, his eyes coldly scanning every staff member in the room through his lenses.
The group of subordinates behind him spread out with full authority, splitting into three groups: one group stood at the door, blocking the exit;
Another group surrounded the few office clerks tightly;
The last group stood behind the man, creating an imposing atmosphere.
The air in the room instantly froze, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
After everything was ready, the black-rimmed glasses took a notice from his briefcase and said sternly: "I am Inspector Zheng from the Third Division of the Supervision Bureau. Due to a particularly serious safety accident at the construction site number 7088 under the Seventh Subsidiary of Yaojing Company, 30 human employees died and 12 were seriously injured at the site.
"For the determination of liability and the safety of more employees, the Supervision Bureau of the parent company has made the following decisions:
1. All construction sites under the Seventh Subsidiary of Yaojing Company must be shut down for inspection.
2. The Seventh Subsidiary of Yaojing Company, as the main responsible unit, will undergo a joint surprise audit and inspection by the parent company and the Supervision Bureau."
"This inspection activity will be fully in charge of Comrade Zheng Sini—that is, me. All documents, files, and materials in the Seventh Subsidiary will be immediately sealed on site and will be centrally dispatched and inspected by our Supervision Bureau. Now, please have your person in charge come out to coordinate with us."
As soon as he finished speaking, the black-clad people surrounding the company employees quickly acted, sealing all the computers and documents on the desks with seals, and ordered everyone to stand up and wait to the side.
Although there was nothing on Huangfu Jun's desk, she still cooperated and stood up.
To her surprise, the Supervision Bureau personnel were very thorough. They first inspected her workstation from the inside out. After confirming that there were no computers or documents, they still sealed her table.
Huangfu Jun's nerves grew increasingly tense. Her "colleagues" beside her weren't much better. Faced with the blockade by the black-clad inspectors, they all stood aside with worried expressions.
Just then, the office door was urgently knocked again.
Zheng Sini glanced sideways at the door and said coldly, "Enter."
The person who pushed the door open was the round-bodied Hamo, Deputy General Manager Hamo.
Seeing the oppressive audit scene in the room, Hamo immediately put on a smile. "Inspector Zheng, this happened suddenly. We just received the news as well. Captain Bai Lin has already gone to the scene and will fully cooperate with the Supervision Bureau and the Special Elite Police's investigation."
Huangfu Jun's brows moved slightly.
No wonder Bai Lin had Gui Suishou handle things for him earlier—he was on a business trip.
Zheng Sini nodded slightly. "Alright. Please lead the way, General Manager Ha. All the data and materials in your office must be sealed first for inventory, then unlocked for verification."
Hamo nodded repeatedly and led Zheng Sini toward the office. "No problem, no problem. We will definitely cooperate fully, cooperate fully. This way, please, this way." After walking a short distance, he turned his head and said to the office, "Hey, you there, go to my office and brew some tea for the leaders!"
Zheng Sini stopped and looked around again. His gaze finally landed on Huangfu Jun. "General Manager Ha, when did the Seventh Subsidiary hire a new employee?"
Hamo quickly stepped forward to explain. "Inspector Zheng, this is a special talent appointed by Director General Yao. She only passed the final onboarding assessment this morning. We haven't had time to report it yet, but Director General Yao definitely has her file."
Zheng Sini's frown deepened. His gaze at Huangfu Jun grew sharper. He said coldly, "I don't care about your arrangements. Since she's caught up in the review, any personnel not reported must be temporarily isolated for review."
Everyone in the Seventh Bureau drew in a sharp breath.
Feeling the exceptionally serious atmosphere around her, Huangfu Jun grasped the gravity of the term "isolated review."
What did isolation mean? Being locked in a small dark room? Deprivation of personal freedom?
She took out her phone, her fingers flying over the keys to type lines of text. Then she abruptly raised her hand to signal Zheng Sini that she had something to say.
Her raised hand was like a blade slicing through the air. Everyone in the room was shocked, staring wide-eyed at Huangfu Jun, who had suddenly indicated that she wanted to speak.
