My Perfect Female CEO

[Sorry, I was hospitalized for a few days, which delayed the update. To the brothers and sisters waiting for updates, I apologize, hugs and kisses!]

......

Ye Fan led people to move into the institute, forcefully intervening, with frequent actions, which triggered quite some trouble.

The various departments of the institute were in a state of panic, with uncertain thoughts.

"What exactly happened?"

"Why are people from other departments interfering? Such things have never happened before."

"Who knows what’s going on?"

The general staff were restless, unable to come up with an explanation, whispering amongst themselves.

"The storm is coming; the institute, which was once a secluded paradise, separated from the outside world, is now facing a broken status quo, not going through a blood storm, it might be hard to calm down, especially at the final stage of major progress in the institute’s research, such a change makes people aware of the smoke and conspiracy within."

"Oh, I hope in this calm flood there aren’t too many disloyal dead fish, otherwise, who knows what big commotion might happen?"

Some clear-headed people, seemingly sensing something, were full of concerns and sentiments.

"Nonsense, the institute under our leadership, each performs its duties, works together with all due diligence, now having other departments interfere, isn’t this a lack of trust towards us?"

"No, we cannot allow voices of doubt about our achievements to exist within the institute."

"Resist, resolutely resist."

Some senior figures were very stubborn, not only unwelcoming Ye Fan and others’ arrival but also harboring hostility.

Within the institute, while people from various circles were uneasy and whispering secretly, Uncle Sun and Zhao Gongming stepped forward.

Under the comfort and guidance of the two, people gradually accepted the presence of Ye Fan and others.

The general staff were finally at ease, Uncle Sun and Zhao Gongming’s words were trustworthy for them, along with having no opinion about Ye Fan and others, putting all their thoughts back into work.

This showed Uncle Sun and Zhao Gongming’s influence in their minds, enough to make them completely believe.

Uncle Sun visited, one by one, those he considered particularly stubborn, possessing enormous influence and status within the institute. After some exchange, those who voiced the loudest resistance against Ye Fan and others instead became firm supporters.

This highlighted the lovable side and sense of the senior figures.

"The war has begun, with impending danger for lives at any moment."

"Previously, what we wanted could be easily obtained, but now, a pair of eyes is firmly watching us, and one wrong move will lead to exposure, undoubtedly resulting in demise."

"From now on, like ghosts in the darkness, we must move cautiously, never able to use old channels for work."

"Crisis has arrived."

Inside the institute, two people from different directions expressed different sentiments and sighs.

Both were men, their faces showing deep worry and concern.

They knew what crisis they were about to face, fearing exposure by Ye Fan and others’ investigation.

These two men were precisely enemy spies.

Ye Fan’s ostentatious actions had already scared them. What could be done before, the gaps to exploit, were now thoroughly caught by Ye Fan and others, destroying the channels for their illicit deeds.

This indeed put them in a tremendously difficult situation.

That was why these two spies felt uneasy.

...

The institute and the action team carried out their duties without interfering with each other.

During this period, no conflict or contradiction occurred.

Thanks to Uncle Sun and Zhao Gongming’s mediation, everyone in the institute had cheerfully accepted the arrival of the action team.

Ye Fan, Zhang Lu, and Li Tong observed the layout and work within the institute, which unfolded in an orderly manner, feeling much relieved.

"Everything in the institute is under our control, and any movement won’t escape our eyes," Zhang Lu said with a smile.

This was no empty talk but reality.

After a series of tests and inspections, the institute’s security system was revamped, upgraded by one level. Moreover, areas prone to surveillance blind spots were entirely turned into monitored zones, eliminating surveillance dead spots.

"This is all thanks to Uncle Sun and Director Zhao’s excellent work. Otherwise, we wouldn’t progress so smoothly," Li Tong said earnestly.

It was also indirectly pleading Zhao Gongming’s case, after all, Ye Fan didn’t have a good attitude towards Zhao Gongming.

And Li Tong himself disrupted Ye Fan’s plans, pleading for Zhao Gongming thereby broke Ye Fan’s scheme.

However, Zhao Gongming showed no emotion, diligently performing his tasks, which made the action team’s settling into the institute’s work effortlessly completed, and initiated highly effective work.

Considering this, Li Tong felt that his attitude towards Zhao Gongming shouldn’t be too harsh.

"Cooperating with our work in the institute is Zhao Gongming’s duty. Even if there is merit, it is part of the job. Now is not the time for rewards or relaxation. Everyone must be vigilant, the enemy is right under our noses, and concerning the terminal database keys, two of the three are in the enemy’s hands. I firmly believe the enemy will soon act, and target Li Dingguo to obtain the third key through any means," Ye Fan said calmly.

Li Tong hesitated slightly before speaking: "Now, Zhao Gongming has stepped back, not interfering much. Shouldn’t we let him help us with some manageable tasks, making full use of his talent?"

"No need," Ye Fan responded firmly.

"Why? Do you have prejudice against Zhao Gongming?" Li Tong was puzzled.

"No, I have no prejudice against anyone, only suspicion. Letting someone I don’t trust take on important tasks would be exposing myself to the enemy, a step I refuse to take," Ye Fan’s tone was resolute.

"The situation is serious now indeed not allowing any second command issuer within the action team and the institute, as it would jeopardize our advantage, with extremely severe consequences," Zhang Lu slowly spoke, the implication clear, firmly supporting Ye Fan’s decision, not agreeing with Li Tong’s words.

"I was just talking casually, don’t take it seriously," Li Tong smiled wryly.

In this apparent calm, within the institute, a man received a message with just four words: Steal the key.

Seeing these words, the man was stunned, bewildered, with eyes full of struggle and pain.
