Chapter 028 Heart to Heart
Caragua Island.
In Area D of the scientific research base.
Chen Jianxiong, who came from the headquarters of Dart Port, entered a very mysterious place inside the Homo Sapiens company under the leadership of Philip.
In fact, as the Minister of Security, Chen Jianxiong had previously understood some of the situations in the scientific research base. However, with the emergence of the Internal Affairs Department, the task of being responsible for the safety of Caragua Island and Li Qingye was taken over by the Internal Affairs Department.
In Chen Jianxiong's view, there is obvious overlap , which is a simple waste of resources.
Moreover, judging from the internal organizational structure of other commercial companies, there is no need for the Internal Affairs Department and the Security Department, and they can be placed in lower-level departments.
This is also what makes Sapiens different from other commercial companies. Other commercial companies rarely set up such departments, mainly because they are not very useful.
Just when Chen Jianxiong was daydreaming, two people came in front of Li Qingye.
This is a small office in Area D of the scientific research base. The furnishings inside are simple and clear, with a tea table, five wooden chairs, and a large bookcase.
"Come on, sit down!"
"Yes, boss."
"Thank you, boss."
Philip and Chen Jianxiong both sat upright.
The kettle on the tea table was steaming. Li Qingye put a handful of Longjing tea into the teapot and then poured in hot water. A fresh fragrance filled the air.
After pouring hot tea into the cup, Li Qingye leaned back on the wooden chair, his eyes as calm as water: "Jianxiong, do you know why I asked you to come here?"
Chen Jianxiong's mind was full of random thoughts. It seemed that he had not failed to do his job properly in the past year. Then he shook his head in confusion: "Boss, I don't know."
"People's hearts can change." Li Qingye took another sip of Longjing tea and said slowly, "My father once used his own life to teach me a truth: if a person is not ruthless, he cannot stand firm."
What? Chen Jianxiong was more and more confused. He didn't understand the intention of Li Qingye's words, so he could only rack his brains to think hard.
But Li Qingye continued, "Greed is human nature. If you have 10,000 yuan, you want to make 1 million. If you have 1 million, you want to make 100 million. This is understandable."
"In this materialistic age, many people want to get rich overnight, and often do things by any means necessary. In the eyes of many people, as long as they succeed, the shamelessness of the process is actually irrelevant."
Gulu! Chen Jianxiong had already understood the hidden meaning, and some sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Jianxiong, do you know what I admire most about Fang Xincheng?"
"Haha, I don't know." Chen Jianxiong replied with a dry laugh.
Li Qingye's eyes were filled with indifference, and he said softly: "After being tempered by life and work for more than ten years, he is still as enthusiastic as a teenager. Such a person is a fool, but also a warrior."
Chen Jianxiong was silent.
"In this heartless world, living affectionately is not an easy thing, don't you think?"
"The boss is right." Chen Jianxiong became more cautious.
Li Qingye stared into his eyes: "The company will get better and better, but it will also become more and more dangerous. Do you have confidence?"
Faced with this sudden choice, Chen Jianxiong was a little confused for a moment, but then he fell into deep thought. He was deeply afraid of Li Qingye and also had a desire for a future and money.
Obviously this was a choice given to him by Li Qingye, and Chen Jianxiong was constantly struggling with it.
After taking a sip of Longjing tea, he felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
He used to be like Fang Xincheng, thinking that life was like the oily sweet fruit, but he didn't expect that the reality was that coptis root.
His age was there, and he only knew how to fight and kill, otherwise he would not have switched from the Hong Kong police force to his previous security company.
He clenched his fist and replied: "Boss, I have confidence."
"Even if it costs everything?" Li Qingye asked back.
Chen Jianxiong has already overcome the psychological barrier and has come to a situation similar to sunk costs. Naturally, he knows that he should show his loyalty at this time: "I don't want my family to continue to suffer. As long as it doesn't hurt my family, I am willing to give everything."
"I hope you won't regret it." Li Qingye actually admired Chen Jianxiong very much.
If the other party can even give up his family, it proves that he has no bottom line. Such a person must never be used, as he might stab you in the back any day.
Chen Jianxiong was a little emotional: "If I can't make a name for myself and bring a good life to my family, I might regret it even more."
"You should have guessed that there are some unknown secrets in the company. I can tell you clearly that there are indeed some secrets in the company." Li Qingye poured him another cup of tea and continued:
"In the future, the company will go global and may encounter various dangers and enemies. The risks and benefits are equal. I need some trustworthy people to help me do things. Do you understand?"
Chen Jianxiong nodded quickly: "I understand, I will definitely be loyal to the company and the boss."
Li Qingye shook his finger: "No, you don't understand. Loyalty cannot be guaranteed with words."
"This..." Chen Jianxiong was speechless for a moment when faced with this question.
It is indeed as Li Qingye said, loyalty is something that is difficult to guarantee.
Li Qingye's eyes were very calm: "I can give you wealth, status and resources, but you must repay them with absolute loyalty. Are you willing to accept this exchange?"
"I...I do." Chen Jianxiong gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Very good, then follow me!"
After saying that, Li Qingye stood up and walked towards the core area of the scientific research base.
Philip also stood up and followed immediately.
Chen Jianxiong hesitated for a moment, but then he became firm and followed. However, he looked at Philip who remained silent beside him, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. It was obvious that he noticed something was wrong with Philip.
In the conversation just now, Li Qingye was talking to him alone, but Philip did not react at all.
And the participants in this rather confidential conversation must be the boss's confidants, which means that Philip is the boss's confidant.
Chen Jianxiong followed Li Qingye, thinking about various problems along the way.
Before, he was actually very concerned about Philip, who had split some of the power of the Security Department, but the other party was like a stone in a pit - smelly and hard.
The Internal Affairs Department is ostensibly responsible for Li Qingye's daily affairs, but in fact also includes security, internal and external intelligence.
At this time, all the security personnel on the entire Caragua Island were managed by the Internal Affairs Department, and Chen Jianxiong's Security Department had nothing to do with it.
Now it all makes sense.
The reason why the security department was split up and the internal affairs department was set up was definitely because I was not trusted by my boss.
Now the conversation between my boss and me seems to indicate that I will be reused in the future.
At the same time, Chen Jianxiong was also very curious about the confidential area of the scientific research base. He had been guessing the secrets inside, and now he could finally find out.
But there was still a trace of uneasiness in his heart.
After all, Li Qingye said that he needed to be absolutely loyal, which made Chen Jianxiong a little worried. After all, it was extremely difficult to get someone to be absolutely loyal.
But having come this far, Chen Jianxiong knew that he actually had no way out. After all, he had just learned a lot of things, so if he wanted to get out of this unscathed, there was basically no way out.
