Chapter 26 Suspicious Points

Wei Hongsi turned off his computer, stood up, and stretched.

Looking around, all the workstations in the common office area were empty. Unwittingly, I had achieved a personal accomplishment—the last person to leave work in Department Two.

Although Yu Sheng will definitely be there later than him, he is a leader and naturally cannot be treated like a beast of burden.

After packing my belongings and heading towards the elevator, my phone suddenly vibrated twice. It was a message from my brother: "Are you asleep yet?"

Wei Hongsi called back, and when his older brother answered, he heard him ask, "Still up so late?"

"Just finished working and am about to go back to the dorm."

"Still at the company? Then come downstairs and wait for me. I'll be there in about five minutes."

"it is good."

Wei Hongsi hung up the phone, took the elevator downstairs, and soon a black sedan pulled up.

Zhang Shengyong was driving. He rolled down the window and gestured towards the back.

Wei Hongsi understood, opened the back door, and sat inside.

Zhang Shengyong asked, "Where do you live? I'll give you a ride home."

Wei Hongsi gave an address, then asked the guy in the passenger seat, "You just saw my message?"

"Yes, we just went to Li Yunxiang's residence." Wei Hongbo turned halfway to face back and said, "Your guess was correct. The voiceprint analysis results are in, and she does indeed have characteristics of dual personality."

Wei Hongsi asked, "What were the autopsy results?"

Wei Hongbo shook his head: "It's not out yet. According to what you said, the required precision for the inspection is at least at the micrometer level, which our branch office can't do. It's already been sent to the provincial appraisal center."

"I see. When can we expect the results?"

"It's hard to say, even the people at the testing center can't be sure."

Wei Hongsi silently brought up the "System" panel and saw that there were still 29 hours and 18 minutes left for the two time-limited tasks.

I thought to myself: the provincial appraisal center may not have encountered this situation before, so they can't estimate the time. However, I've given them very specific hints. With the provincial appraisal center's facilities and technical capabilities, they should be able to find some clues. There should still be time, right?

"Don't be confused. Tell me, what new discovery have you made?" Wei Hongbo saw his younger brother's eyes were glazed over and assumed he was just tired and sleepy from working overtime.

"Oh." Wei Hongsi closed the "System" panel and told them about the data analysis of the four GGs, as well as the doubts he had previously discovered, including the related discussions by Qian Jiayu and others.

After listening, Zhang Shengyong said, "You've misunderstood the reason why Peng Jun was fired. He really did a terrible job at his previous company."

Wei Hongsi was greatly surprised: "Is it really because of performance?"

"I didn't believe it at first either, but it's true." Zhang Shengyong shook his head as he spoke, and briefly explained the situation he had found to Wei Hongsi.

Although he had no analytical data to refer to, he thought that since the people at Purple Fox had such a high opinion of Peng Jun's professional abilities, they couldn't possibly be completely ignorant of his worth, right? Besides, Peng Jun's achievements at Purple Fox were truly solid.

After some investigation, it was discovered that Peng Jun was indeed doing very poorly at his former company, with zero sales for several consecutive months and only receiving a base salary of less than 5.

In Yuecheng, this income level can only cover basic expenses, and it's difficult to save any money.

So after Peng Jun was fired, he sent out many resumes, but only got two interview opportunities, and unsurprisingly failed both.

The reason is simple. He is over thirty years old, yet he has no notable achievements and few client resources, so naturally no company wants to hire him.

Peng Jun was able to join Purple Fox Media because he offered to join with zero base salary and would leave immediately if he didn't achieve results within a month. Seeing his determination, the person in charge at Purple Fox Media agreed to give him a try.

Then Peng Jun started doing it. His journey from unemployment to success is a classic rags-to-riches story; if it were made into a short drama, many people would probably love to watch it.

Zhang Shengyong also investigated Peng Jun's financial situation over the past year. Apart from some small online loans, all his income came from his salary, with no income of unknown origin or any suspicious expenditures.

Wei Hongsi frowned as he listened, this was completely unexpected.

Peng Jun's GG videos have excellent data performance, even though they were secretly modified. However, shooting such GG videos is actually more difficult.

Therefore, Wei Hongsi never questioned Peng Jun's professional abilities, never expecting him to be so incompetent at his previous company.

It's like someone pointing at a top student from a prestigious university and saying that this person was a failing student in high school, failing every subject.

Who would believe that?

This serious misjudgment has led to a need to rethink many things.

Wei Hongsi lowered his eyes, his right index finger rhythmically tapping between his eyebrows as he mentally reviewed the information related to Peng Jun.

By this time, the car had arrived at the gate of Wei Hongsi's residence. Zhang Shengyong parked the car in a parking space by the roadside, opened the window halfway, and then turned off the engine.

Wei Hongbo took out cigarettes, tossed one to Zhang Shengyong, and lit one for himself.

Zhang Shengyong took out a lighter, lit it, and the two of them smoked out the car window.

Wei Hongsi raised his hand to fan away the smoke drifting behind him and asked, "Brother Yong, have you looked into what impressions Peng Jun's former colleagues had of him?"

"Of course I know. Some people say he's easygoing, some say he's rather introverted, and many people don't have much of an impression of him, which shows that he wasn't very prominent at his previous company."

"He's completely different since he joined Purple Fox Media."

"I think it's perfectly normal," Zhang Shengyong said dismissively. "When you're down on your luck, you're timid and submissive; when you're successful, you're boastful and arrogant. Aren't many people like that?"

Wei Hongsi's lips curled slightly: "Then why do you think Peng Jun, given his behavior at his previous company, would say something like 'zero base salary' to the head of Purple Fox Media?"

"Well..." Zhang Shengyong thought for a moment and said, "It must be that after being forced into a corner by life, he mustered up the courage to take a gamble."

Wei Hongsi retorted, "That's not right! You said the amount he borrowed from online lenders wasn't high, and borrowing more shouldn't be difficult. How can that be considered being cornered?"

Zhang Shengyong disagreed: "Everyone's psychological resilience is different. You don't have to be completely desperate to be considered cornered. Judging from Peng Jun's income and expenditure, he is quite restrained in his spending, and his ability to withstand debt pressure should be relatively low."

Wei Hongsi countered, "But the terms he negotiated with Zihu for the job aren't something that can be achieved with just courage. If he doesn't produce results, he won't get a penny, so how can he turn around his financial difficulties?"

Zhang Shengyong paused for a moment, then slowly nodded and said, "That's true."

Wei Hongsi said, "In fact, Peng Jun completed a project excellently in just over half a month after joining the company, and he must have taken over the project even earlier. This is enough to prove that he already had the corresponding abilities when he was discussing the terms of employment, which is why he appeared so confident. And this is the most important clue about him."
