Chapter 52 – Is it Over (1/2)

“Young Master, I don’t know either!’ Secretary Chen was also very confused.

“Heng, only the three of us were three, no one else. So, Secretary Chen?” Chen Zelong asked.

“Young Master, do you mean that I leaked it? How is that possible! What good is it for me, I’ve been with you for five years, aren’t you clear about what I’m like! What’s more, how much can I sell this news to the newspapers for? It’s not even more than the car washing money that Young Master, you, give me every month…” Secretary Chen quickly explained.

Hearing that, Chen Zelong’s expression softened a little. Secretary Chen was right, there was nothing good for him for this to get published. If he (Chen Zelong) fell, then Secretary Chen was going to be facing unemployment as well. He didn’t treat Secretary Chen badly, so he (Secretary Chen) had no reason to do this. Could it be Huo De, the old fellow? That’s even more impossible, could it be that this old guy got used to a peaceful life, and wanted to spend the rest of his days in prison? Only if he had something wrong with his brain!

Now that he eliminated the suspicions from the other people, only he was left. So, unless he sleepwalked, he couldn’t have possibly exposed this, but he never noticed that he had the habit of sleepwalking!

That’s weird, could it be a ghost? Although Chen Zelong acted like a typical Young Master, he wasn’t a retard, and able to handle himself in Chen’s Corporation was a proof of that.

“Young Master, could someone have installed some sort of tapping device in the room?” asked Secretary Chen.

“Impossible, I already used devices to check that the room was safe the day we talked!” Chen Zelong said confidently. However, how was he supposed to know that even the world’s best spy organization won’t be able to detect Shuguang Corporation’s newest product!

“That’s weird, could someone have stood by the door and listened the day when you had the conversation?” Secretary Chen continued.

“That is a possibility, you are someone I trust, but it’s hard to say that about those servants. Although they were investigated when they got employed, it’s hard to guarantee that they won’t sell us out for a profit!” Chen Zelong nodded. “Alright, I’ll get you to investigate this! If it really can’t be helped, then just change all of the servants!”

“Understood, Young Master!” Secretary Chen answered. “However, how do we handle this?”

“Handle what? We don’t need to care about it at all, there is plenty of bullshit news in Hong Kong every year, who would remember this after a few days! The newspaper didn’t show any solid proof, so they probably just made it up. If they had concrete evidence, they can’t wait to publish it, so it’s fine as long as we don’t admit it!” Chen Zelong shook his head.

However, how could I go along with Chen Zelong’s wishes? Just as Chen Zelong heavily scolded the media for making things up, and writing about rumors when Hua De and him don’t even know each other, another secret fax arrived on the desks of the presses.

“Haha, Boss, you’re amazing. You’re pushing Chen Zelong into a more and more reactive position!” Guo Qing praised.

“The current effect is what we want, we want to show everyone a lying Chen’s Corporation!” I smiled sinisterly and said.

On the second day, huge photos of Chen Zelong shaking hands with Huo De appeared on the headlines of every major newspaper and magazine. The clear titles said “Chen Zelong and Huo De don’t know each other? What does Chen’s Corporation want to hide!”

Chen Zelong was beyond furious while he held the newspaper in his office as he shouted to Secretary Chen, “No matter what you do, you have to find this person! This is pissing me off!”
