Chapter 022 Internal Affairs
August 15, 2018.
142 Juan Street, Dart Harbour.
This is the new headquarters of Sapiens Corporation, or rather the headquarters on the surface.
After all, Caragua Island is just a small island with scientific research bases and confidential technology, so it is not convenient to use it as a company's facade.
This is a small building with 8 floors. Currently, the offices of Li Jinglan, Kang Nan, Fang Xincheng, Chen Jianxiong and others have been moved here.
In the general manager's office.
Li Jinglan held the procurement budget sheet in his hand with a rather unhappy look on his face, and the secretary standing beside him also had a blank look on his face.
"Mr. Li, Minister Fang has rejected it for the third time. He said that our procurement budget sheet is not clear enough and asked us to recheck it."
Li Jinglan frowned and immediately ordered, "Got it. Go and ask him to have dinner at the Starfish Restaurant tonight."
"Okay." The secretary hurried out.
After a while, the secretary knocked on the door with an embarrassed look on her face, followed by Fang Xincheng, who looked stern.
Seeing this scene, Li Jinglan narrowed his eyes slightly, waved his hand to let the secretary go out to pour tea, and then invited Fang Xincheng to sit down: "Xincheng, sit down first."
"No, I'm here for business." Fang Xincheng was very direct.
Li Jinglan's eyes flashed with displeasure, but then he quickly smiled and said, "Is it about today's procurement budget? I've looked at it, and there doesn't seem to be any problem, right?"
"The price quoted for the steel structure of the windmill building materials is 42% higher than the market price. The steel structures of the three building materials wholesalers in Dart Port are basically from the same factory. In addition, why did you purchase the waterproof cloth for the pond from a Japanese company? I remember that the performance of the products of the Chinese supplier is similar, but the price quoted is only about 53%..."
Facing Fang Xincheng's barrage of questions, Li Jinglan still smiled on the surface, but he was getting more and more angry in his heart.
After taking a deep breath, Li Jinglan said seriously, "This is my fault. I trusted the head of the purchasing department too much."
He then picked up the phone, called the head of the purchasing department, and cursed the other person over the phone.
"I have ordered the purchasing department to reflect on this and prepare another purchasing budget."
"General Manager, the boss has given me the finance department, so I must do my best to fulfill my responsibilities. Forget about dinner tonight, I still have to go to Caragua Island tomorrow."
After saying this, Fang Xincheng left.
After a while, Baru, the head of the purchasing department, ran up, looking anxious.
Li Jinglan's face was very ugly, and he asked directly: "Are you a fool? Do you think everyone is dead? It's so obvious, don't you want to do it anymore?"
"I'm sorry, this is all my fault." Baru quickly apologized.
Li Jinglan was very disappointed: "Do as I tell you, and do it more cleanly this time. If Fang Xincheng finds out again, you will pack up and leave. Do you understand?"
"I understand , I understand." Baru nodded and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Get lost!"
Looking at Baru who left in a hurry, Li Jinglan stood up, untied his tie, picked up the teacup and took a big sip of green tea.
He took another look at the budget sheet on the desk and his expression grew even gloomier.
He cursed inwardly: "Only that little salary, what are you doing? If you don't accept my toast, I'll have to find a way to kick this guy out."
…
In another office not far from Li Jinglan's office, Buffat, who lies down all day, is inside.
As for Bafat, Li Qingye's apparent "relative", Li Jinglan naturally tried to win him over while being wary of him.
Although he was called an assistant, he was actually just a driver, and all other jobs were taken care of by Li Jinglan's secretary.
At this time, Baffert was lying on his office chair, his feet on the desk, sleeping soundly with headphones on.
But in fact, every move in the entire building was under Buffat's surveillance, and the trick was in the headphones he was wearing at the moment.
This headset is just a fiber optic connector connected to a socket that has been specially modified.
After the renovation was completed, Li Qingye asked his subordinates to secretly install a fiber optic intranet. These fiber optic lines were produced using genetically recombinant organisms.
Fiber optic cables are installed in the ceiling, and the surveillance equipment is not pinhole cameras or eavesdropping devices, but two types of genetically recombined lichens.
This stuff can stick to a lot of surfaces, including metal, rock, ceramic, glass, wood and plastic.
Its organizational structure is divided into two parts. One part is the leaves on the surface. The color of the leaf surface can change with the change of the environment, similar to the camouflage color of a chameleon. Moreover, the leaves and the surface of the object are almost glued together, making it difficult to remove them.
The other part is the root system.
The names of the two genetically modified lichens are: [Plant-Listening Lichen] and [Plant-Light Eye Lichen].
As long as the seeds are placed, these two lichens will automatically grow on the surface of the object, forming a circular covering with a diameter of about 5 cm. The root system can penetrate 5 to 20 cm of soil, rocks and wood, or spread through the gaps in objects.
Connected by the root system and optical fiber, it also has a certain information storage capacity, about 2 to 3T.
Among them, the leaves of the species [Plant Organ - Listening Lichen] have special pressure elements, which are essential components of many animals with sensitive hearing and can even allow the hearing organs to hear infrasound and ultrasound.
The leaf surface of the [plant-light-eye lichen] is densely covered with very sensitive photoreceptor cells, which can capture the surrounding visible light and some infrared rays.
At this time, these two types of lichens covered the entire building, and there were at least four or five lichens in every room.
Through these lichens, Bafat can monitor the entire building at all times.
Naturally, he saw and heard what happened in the general manager's office.
Even Secretary Lyme, who worked in the same office as Baffert, didn't notice anything unusual and only saw him sleeping.
But at this time, Bafat was reporting what happened today to the Information Department of the Internal Affairs Department on Caragua Island.
As for how to report, it is naturally not through making phone calls or sending text messages, but through another fiber optic line.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of setting up the internal network of the Homo Sapiens Company, a secret submarine optical fiber was already laid between Dart Port and Caragua Island.
With the help of this submarine optical fiber, Bafat's soldier program automatically uses key information to screen and send the relevant intelligence back to the Information Department.
Caragua Island.
Internal Affairs Department, Information Department.
After seeing Bafat's report, Soldiers No. 21 and No. 22 copied the intelligence and immediately reported the matter to Li Qingye.
"Boss, I have intelligence to report." Soldier No. 21 (Skinny Monkey) walked into his study.
"Speak." Li Qingye continued to look through some academic materials without raising his head.
The skinny monkey reported in a rigid tone, "Just now, Li Jinglan, Fang Xincheng, Baru, and Lime were in the general manager's office because of budget issues..."
Through the skinny monkey's detailed report, Li Qingye already understood the cause and effect of the matter. He did not show any emotion: "Got it, go down!"
"Yes, boss."
The next day, early in the morning.
Fang Xincheng hurried to Caragua Island.
Li Qingye was eating breakfast while listening to the financial report.
"...Boss, Baru's work in the purchasing department is very bad. I have asked them to readjust the purchasing budget, and Manager Li also agreed to this."
"Thank you for your hard work, Xincheng, and for helping me manage the finance department." Li Qingye said with a smile.
"This is all my job." Fang Xincheng was very humble.
