Ode to Joy: Tao Huatan, Water Depth Thousand Feet

After coming out of Tan Zongming's office, she paid attention to the surrounding environment.The gate and each room have fingerprint password access control, which should be set according to the authority.This is especially true in Tan Zongming's office.In this way, the place of office is relatively safe.

When she was almost at the door, she saw the girl at the front desk looking at her curiously.She nodded with a smile, and the girl nodded politely in response.

After entering the elevator, she pressed B1, ready to go to the underground garage.

It was working hours at this time, and the underground garage was very quiet.She walked lightly, looked around, and recalled the models, license plates and parking spaces that Tan Zongming used frequently in the materials she had read before.

About 30 to [-] meters away from where Tan Zongming parked, she suddenly found a man in black clothes, a black hat, black sunglasses and a black mask, sneaking towards Tan Zongming's car go.She immediately dodged and squatted down, and looked out quietly under the cover of the car beside her.

Seeing that there was no one around, the man quickly got under the car. Seeing this, Tao Zhihua immediately took out his mobile phone and pressed the remote shooting mode.After a while, the man got out from the bottom of the car, then opened the hood, took out tools from his pocket, and got down to tamper with the car.After a few minutes of "operation" is complete, close the hood.Look around, see no one around, run away immediately.

After Tao Zhihua watched the man run away, he called Tan Zongming.

"Mr. Tan, it's me, Tao Zhihua."

Tan Zongming was a little surprised when he received the call.

"Mr. Tan, please come to the underground garage immediately. I'm right next to your car now."

Tan Zongming originally wanted to ask what was going on, but when he heard her serious tone, he immediately said, "Okay, I'll come down right away."

Within a few minutes, she saw Tan Zongming coming in a hurry.

She nodded at the other party and said, "A man tampered with your car just now. I saw him open the hood. Maybe he wanted to damage the brake system." She pointed to the car, "Please remove the hood."

Tan Zongming immediately unlocked the car with the key and opened the hood.

She took a look and snapped a few pictures with her phone.

"Okay." She finished and dialed a number.

"Hey, Team Yao. I just found out that someone tampered with Tan Zongming's car and damaged the brakes and steering system. If the driver's speed exceeds 80 miles, there is a high possibility of an accident. The suspect is very skilled and may specialize in Occupation related to vehicles, or have a related record."

"Well, I took a picture of the suspect's committing the crime, as well as the condition of the car, and I'll send it to you later. But the suspect covered his face so tightly that he couldn't see his face clearly, and he wore gloves when he committed the crime, so fingerprints are useless. I I will go to the security guard of the building to check the video surveillance later to see if there are other clues."

"Well, I think so too. The protection level should be raised."

"Okay, I understand, Team Yao. Don't worry."

Tan Zongming watched her make the phone call, and after sending the videos and photos, he finally asked the question in his heart, "What's going on?"

"I came out of your office and wanted to see the situation of the building, so I came to the underground garage. I saw someone tampering with your car by accident. The suspect's method is very professional. Most people will not feel anything after starting the car. Once When the speed of the car increases, it is easy to have an accident, but it is too late to deal with it."

She glanced at the other party and said seriously: "This person is obviously coming for you. It is unclear what the motive is. In view of the current situation, the police will increase your protection level. From now on, I will protect you 24 hours a day .”

Tan Zongming glanced at her and nodded solemnly.

"In order not to startle the snake, you have to pretend that you don't know anything. But this car must not be able to drive anymore." She put her hand on her chin, thought for a while, and asked, "What is your itinerary for today?"

"It's nothing. Originally, today was an appointment with Bao Shi to discuss the last things about cooperation. However, Andy was frightened yesterday, so he changed the date."

"Bao Shi, Bao Yifan's company? Cooperation? What kind of cooperation?" She listened, staring at him and asking.

"Yes, Bao Yifan's company, Bao Group. Our Yixuan, since last year, intends to acquire Red Star in order to open up the entire product chain. Bao Yifan's Bao Group has the same idea as us in this regard, so , we have been talking about cooperation.”

"Andy is your subordinate, is she involved in this work?"

Tan Zongming seemed to suddenly understand something in his mind. He looked at her and said, "Yes. Andy is the person in charge of this cooperation case, and she is fully responsible for the whole process. Are you thinking, what happened today and what happened yesterday Connected?"

She nodded, "How do you cooperate with Bao?"

"In fact, Yixuan is comparable to Red Star and Bao's in terms of overall strength in terms of electronic products. If a forced acquisition will use a lot of money, it is not a good choice for us or Bao's. So we are I want to take out this part of Yixuan and the core part of Bao’s, jointly establish a new company, and then use the new company to acquire Red Star. This not only completes the acquisition, but also integrates the entire industrial chain, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.”

"If you think this way, what impact will it have on the Bao Corporation? I mean, the Bao Corporation is not just Bao Yifan's shareholder. Will doing so affect their interests?"

Tan Zongming suddenly figured it out, and he began to admire the woman across from him.What happened in the past two days, if it was an ordinary woman, she would have been terrified.But she is so calm, and has an amazing sensitivity to any clues.

"Yes, whether it is the acquisition of Red Star or the integration of industries, it is a tough battle. Both we and the Baos have to pay a hard price. Bao Yifan has insisted on technological innovation in recent years and invested a lot of financial and material resources , but now there are also very good results. More than 90% of Bao’s current profits come from its core industry. This time, it is planned to take this part out and establish a new company with us. As far as I know, in this way, before If the company is to be deregistered, the other shareholders will be compensated at the price. If it is not deregistered, the original company will be an empty shell. However, other than Bao Yifan and his father, that is, his uncle Bao Deming, are the shareholders of the Bao family .It seems that this Bao Deming lost the hen that laid eggs, and he is a little anxious."

Tao Zhihua looked at him and realized that the person in front of him was by no means an ordinary person. One or two questions from her had already reminded him of the cause and effect of the matter, and he quickly analyzed the key to the problem.

The two looked at each other, as if they could see what the other was thinking. "It's really a feeling of meeting your opponent." She thought to herself.

"Then it's clearer now. It's likely that Bao Deming wanted to stop this cooperation, and then deal with you and Andy." She said.

Tan Zongming put his hands on the car, "Uncle Bao Yifan is really stupid." With a sarcastic smile on his lips, he said disdainfully, "Hmph, it's really ridiculous to jump over the wall in a hurry."

He looked at Tao Zhihua, "However, since a criminal offense has already been involved, I will trouble you and the police to deal with it."

"Don't worry, I will report it immediately, and the police will send people to investigate and collect evidence."

Tan Zongming nodded, and asked curiously, "By the way, why didn't you analyze the threat theory on the economic forum? Didn't someone say that someone wrote a threatening letter and wanted us to die?"

"It's very simple. Taking the initiative to send a threatening letter to the police telling you that you want to commit murder on the economic forum is itself a provocative act. If you want to commit crimes, you must not choose when the forum has not yet opened, and in this sneaky way." In this way, what is the difference from ordinary murders, and it cannot satisfy the psychological needs of the sender to provoke."

Tan Zongming looked at her with even more admiration.There are many smart people around him, but there are not many smart women with such careful thinking and such keen observation.Andy is one, and the woman in front of her is not inferior to Andy at all.

He smiled and said, "Well, the analysis makes sense. You are very smart."

Tao Zhihua glanced at him, "Thank you for the compliment." She changed the subject, looked at the other person, and said seriously, "Let's leave this car here. In order to prevent others from arousing attention, you should not drive other cars or take a taxi."

Tan Zongming crossed his arms and looked at her leisurely, "Okay, what should I do?"

"You will go back to the company later, don't move around if there is no situation. I will pretend to be your rich second-generation girlfriend and pick you up in the afternoon." Tao Zhihua said seriously.

"Ah? You, pretending to be my girlfriend?" He pointed at her, his eyes widened, and asked in surprise.

"Pretending to be a couple and protecting you will be very natural, and it will not be easy for the other party to become suspicious." After finishing speaking, she glanced at Tan Zongming, "Do you have any objections?"

"Ah, no. The police protected me, and it's too late for me to thank them. I will definitely cooperate." He lowered his arms and showed a "cooperative" smile.

"Well, I need your cooperation. Find a car that you don't usually drive, and find a subordinate you trust, and bring the car to me in the afternoon. I'll send you the time and place later."

"Huh?" He didn't respond for a moment.

"The police station has limited funds, so it's impossible to find a car for me to pick you up." She tilted her head, as if she didn't understand why the other party had questions.

"En? Oh, oh, yes. I should provide a car. Okay, don't worry." Tan Zongming nodded. For some reason, he suddenly felt that his brain was turning a little slowly.

"By the way, I'll let your subordinates bring you the clothes and shoes directly?"

"Ah? Clothes and shoes?" This time, Tan Zongming felt that his thinking could not keep up.

"Pretending to be your girlfriend, do you want me to wear this?" She pointed to her clothes, Tan Zongming looked at her, gray top, black trousers, typical ordinary white-collar business attire.

"Your previous girlfriends were very fashionable in their dresses. A sudden change of style will inevitably arouse suspicion." She squinted at Tan Zongming and said, "This time I came to Shanghai for exchange and study, and I will protect you by the way. No I will be staying for a long time, so I didn’t bring suitable clothes.”

"Huh?" He opened his mouth and looked at her.When I came back to my senses, I said, "Oh, I should provide the clothing. It can be reimbursed, it can be reimbursed." Then I remembered something and said, "Well, why don't I give you the credit card, so you can save it in advance. inconvenient."

Tao Zhihua thought for a while, and said, "That's good too. Famous brand clothes probably cost a lot. If your financial reimbursement is slow here, I will have to eat chaff this month. Then give it to me first, and pay it back when we meet next time." Here you are." After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand.

"Huh? Oh, okay, wait a minute." He took out his wallet and took out a credit card for her. "There is no password, just swipe it."

"Okay, then you go straight up. I want to check the situation at the exit of the garage first, and then investigate the surveillance. When I pack up and pick you up in the afternoon, it will be around 5 o'clock. See you later." After finishing speaking, he turned around step away.

Tan Zongming watched her leave until she was out of sight.He recalled how he looked just now, "It must have looked silly," he thumped his head lightly.

"Why is there a feeling of being directed by the little girl, and my brain is not enough. It must be two accidents in the past two days, and I am too tired." He convinced himself in his heart, nodded secretly, and headed towards the elevator go.
