Thursday, continues ...
After finishing their lunch, Hou Yi and Anna sat down to contemplate who within Hou Enterprises was spying for Lu Jinhu, Yang Lin and their families.
They both quickly agreed they had identified two, Supervisor An and the receptionist. The rest they were not certain on but agreed that there would be someone in the catering staff most likely in the group that delivered their meal.
As they continued their discussions, they debated the location of other spies. Logic told both of them that there would be someone within the finance department, and another in the travel department given this would enable them to keep track of financial information and Hou Yi's travel arrangements. That would mean at least five spies. The question was how many more.
About 1:50pm, Hou Yi turned to Anna "I guess I need to make the arrangements for you to return back down to the legal department so that you can continue going through the documents, and we can deal with the issues for the current development in Australia."
"Yi, I would bet that they have a spy in the department responsible for that project as well."
"Most likely. I am going to speak to the bodyguards so that they can work at getting you at without being identified and they you can come back in."
Hou Yi paused, and reached beside the couch, handing Anna a small brown paper bag. "Now please do not get angry, but we have to make it seem like we took what the catering staff interrupted to its logical conclusion."
With that Hou Yi pointed to a door. "Over there is a suite, containing a bedroom. I use so I do not travel home when I have late night or early morning conferences. And before you ask, I have not slept with any woman there. While I make the arrangements with the bodyguards, can you mess everything up in there like we had s*x, spray a little bit of your perfume in the bedding, and leave these 'spare' underpants of yours there as if we could not locate them before you left."
"Yi, you seem to have a dirty mind."
"Well we need to try and mess with Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin's minds. They need to wonder who my wife is and send a message that we cannot keep our hands off each other. It may seem petty, but it is fun to plan these things to mess with them. Just imagine their faces the first time that we meet them as a couple, and they then have to deal with all the stories of our s*x life that their spies have reported back."
"I just thought that we were just trying to locate spies."
"That is part of it, but I did promise that I would help you get your revenge. Doing this is a little part of it. We show people just enough to suggest what is happening and let them draw their conclusions."
Hou Yi paused, and then continued "While I have picked it up from your actions when we are alone, you are uncomfortable with this, I am happy that you are willing to play along. We need to get organised, so we do not waate more time."
A few minutes later when Hou Yi opened the office door for Anna to leave, a ring of bodyguards we there to protect her identity. Before he handed her, her handbag and laptop bag, Anna reached up, put her arms around his neck and gave him a kiss for anyone to see. She reluctantly pulled away, and he handed her the two bags.
As Anna was walking away, Hou Yi called out "Thank you darling for your visit. See you at home tonight." With that Anna, raised her hand, and waved it ensuring that everyone could see her wedding and engagement rings.
With the tight circle of bodyguards around her, Anna was escorted into the elevator and outside into a waiting car, which drove off. The car stopped about one kilometre away and Anna was helped out into a waiting Taxi. The bodyguard apologised to her for not accompanying her back, and he would collect her tonight when she finished. Anna understood that what they were doing was selling a story to the company.
Anna arrived back at Hou Enterprises just after 2pm, and after paying the taxi, ran through the foyer, catching the elevator back up to the Legal Department. When Supervisor An spotted her, she angrily spat out "What are you doing here?"
"Supervisor An, I have to apologise. I was able to satisfy immigration as to my right to be here but have not been able to return until now. I need to start my work, as the delays will be costing Hou Enterprises significant money, so please provide me with the local intranet login. If you refuse, I will contact Assistant Wang, and advise him that you are obstructing me doing the job that I am here to do."
Supervisor An, believed that when Anna was taken away by immigration, Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin obtained what they needed, and this woman would not return. However here she was and implying that if she did not provide the intranet login CEO Hou would hear about it, which she did not need.
Supervisor An, knew that she did not need this. She had to crush this woman but not to have CEO Hou know about it. She remembers that the first time she met him, she fell in love with him. Anything that would bring her to his attention negatively would prevent her from achieving her long-term goal, of marrying him.
On meeting Yang Lin she knew she never intended to marry CEO Hou, as she was willing to spy for her as it would put her closer to her goal. She knew Yang Lin married on Tuesday, so her goal was in reach, and that she did not want to risk. The only problem was the rumours already around the company that CEO Hou was wearing a wedding ring and had been interrupted with a woman engaged in s*xual activity in his office earlier. She dismissed both of these as baseless.
However, she realised that she had no option but to cooperate and went to her desk and took out the intranet information and handed it over to this woman due to the potential problems refusing could cause her in the long term.
