"Do it right away. And I want to know everything happen in the Shi Group recently. Is it just a small
problem as Jonathan said?"
Although Thompson had known the answer, he still asked. It was not easy for him to give up.
Before hearing the truth, he always felt that there was still a turning point. But was that true? No one
could be sure about it.
"The Shi Group is on the verge of collapse. If he continues to be stubborn and refuses to make a
change, the Shi Group will go bankrupt sooner or later."
Vernon relentlessly pointed out the current situation of Jonathan's company.
"Can't you just lie to me? I keep hearing this news recently and now I have a headache. I thought he
was a clever man, that's why I chose him to be my partner. Now I know that I am making trouble for
myself. "
Thompson thought of Jonathan with disdain and sighed.
"So, boss, shall we help him?" Vernon said indifferently. In fact, the problems that Jonathan
encountered now were all small problems. After all, the Shi Group had built a strong background since
it had been ran for so many years.
No matter how incompetent Jonathan was, the Shi Group could hold on for few years if he didn't do
something stupid.
"I will think about it. If we help him, what should we do?" Thompson squinted slightly. The Shi Group
now became a tough nut to crack.
This company was on the verge of bankruptcy as soon as Jonathan took charge of it, which showed
that Jonathan was just an incapable idiot. Even a mediocre man to run this company wouldn't end up
like this.
"Well, then. What's more, shall we continue to investigate what happen to Miss Alice?" Vernon raised
his head and glanced at Thompson, not knowing whether he should say it or not.
According to Thompson's temper in the past, Vernon knew Thompson would never investigate a
woman's background for no reason. This matter was very strange, and even Vernon didn't dare to ask
Thompson directly about it. Even if Vernon had to ask about it, he would thought twice before he
opened his mouth.
"Go on. I want to know everything happen to her. Don't tell anyone about it. Just keep it between you
and me. "
Thompson closed his eyes slightly, stood up and walked around the house.
Vernon just looked at Thompson quietly. Even if what Thompson was doing now was inconceivable,
Vernon would not say a word or have any questions. Boss could always do whatever he wanted to do.
And it was a basic rule that employees couldn't question about what their boss's decisions.
It was also an unspoken understanding that shared in this society.
"Well, is this room different from before?" Thompson looked at the wall in confusion. The decoration in
this room made him feel strange.
"Yes, I have made some changes as you asked. Boss, it was your order when you took Miss Alice here
last time."
Vernon cleared his throat, reminding Thompson. It was not until then that Thompson remembered what
he said.
When Alice came here last time, she had mentioned that the wall was too monotonous, so Thompson
asked his subordinates to decorate it again.
Anyway, Thompson forgot about what he had said that day. No wonder he felt it strange since he came
in, and he also thought "what the hell is this decoration?" when he got in.
The wall was repainted pink. Did he send them a wrong message?
Thompson shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
"I want to know their history and what happened to her after she went abroad..." As soon as Thompson
finished his words, he felt it inappropriate and coughed to cover his emotions.
"All in all, I want all the details." Thompson walked back to Vernon, grabbed a bunch of flowers beside
him and tore a petal.
If Thompson was an ancient man, he must be a ruthless and powerful man who was lived in the court.
Therefore, Thompson was also a very resourceful and competent man in the modern times.
Vernon nodded and asked, "Boss, which of these two things is more important?"
"Both. Don't worry about it. You can dig into the one you found out first." Thompson was a little
impatient, and so the next second, Vernon restrained his emotions.
Since the boss didn't like him to ask too many questions, he would shut up. Vernon was not only a witty
man, but also a person who could read people's face.
Of course, there were a lot of people like him in the world, but only Vernon was a special one, for he
could stand in such a position and stayed with Thompson like his friend.
"Well, there's one more thing. Is there any news about Generalist?" Thompson squinted his eyes and
crushed the petals in his hand.
"No. He seems like disappeared. I thought that Jacob has no one to turn to, I didn't expect him to be
able to make a comeback. But this situation won't hold on for long. Should we start the super plan? "
Vernon glanced at Thompson, who was stunned, probably he was thinking about something else and
he had no intention of answering Vernon. A few second later, Thompson raised his head and stared at
Vernon.
"I have told you not to be careless about this matter. I have emphasized it many times before. But what
have you done? " Thompson vented his anger on Vernon.
Vernon could do nothing about it but just looked at Thompson and smiled awkwardly. "Boss, don't be
angry. It's not because we are too careless, but because our enemy is too cunning. "
Thompson snorted and sat on the sofa. He took out a cigarette and gave it to Vernon. Then he lit
another one for himself.
"I know. I'm not blaming you. I just want to say that we can't underestimate our opponent in the future,
especially in the face of such an enemy like Jacob. "
That's what Thompson always did. He would comfort his men and gave them something good just after
scolded them. This was what Thompson was good at, so Vernon was willing to follow him.
"Boss, by the way, I found there is a manipulator behind our black market transaction. The man always
hired someone to be his agent in the auction, so he didn't have to show up. "
Vernon narrowed his eyes and looked at Thompson.
"That's something new. When did it happen? The thing you talked about, it only happened once in a
while. And it only happened when the buyer can't show up, right? "
Thompson glanced at Vernon, loss in thoughts. Some people would choose to stay in the shadow
when they were in the black market. But since they came here as a buyer, they had to find a
middleman.
Generally speaking, what a middleman bought was absolutely confidential, but it must be auctioned.
Only in the auction could they see clearly what they had bought.
Moreover, if the middleman was doing business for someone else, he could only be hired by one man
within a month.
So now, since they could be sure that there was only one middleman, it was obvious that there was
only one manipulator behind the scenes.
This was rare in the black market. A big buyer would show up in person sooner or later. After all, it was
quite expensive to hire a middleman.
Although the middleman's job was about purchasing goods, it was an easy job. How to find the goods
he needed? What price should he offer? These were all knowledge, and there was almost no one who
could learn well in a short period of time.
Anyone who could be a middleman was experienced and knew the market well. Therefore, middlemen
were respected in the black market.
