Chapter 316 Gaining Trust
Chapter 316 Gaining Trust
Ming Nanjin went to Bei Mingmo's company as Lin Nan, who had met Bei Mingmo at the banquet last time.
It was a sunny day with clear skies, but Ming Nanjin was not in a relaxed mood.
He was wearing a well-tailored suit made of fine fabric, with every fold just right, highlighting his sophistication and competence.
The leather shoes on his feet were shiny and reflected dazzling light, as if foreshadowing the importance of this trip.
He walked with firm and powerful steps, each with a clear goal in mind, into the towering office building where Bei Ming Mo's company was located.
Bei Ming Mo had already received the news and came down personally to greet Ming Nan Jin.
When Ming Nanjin appeared in the company lobby, Bei Mingmo immediately showed a warm smile on his face and said with a smile: "Lin Nan, you are finally here."
There was a hint of anticipation and joy in that smile, as if Ming Nanjin was the distinguished guest he had been waiting for.
Ming Nanjin also responded with a smile: "Mr. Beiming, I've been waiting for a long time."
His smile was polite and humble, but his eyes revealed a hint of subtle nervousness.
The two walked towards the elevator side by side. Along the way, Bei Mingmo enthusiastically introduced the company's recent situation and some new business directions to Ming Nanjin.
"Lin Nan, our company has recently encountered many challenges in expanding overseas markets, but there are also many opportunities." Bei Mingmo's voice was steady and magnetic, and his eyes flashed with confidence.
Ming Nanjin seemed to be listening attentively, nodding her head from time to time to show her agreement, and echoed: "Mr. Bei Ming is really far-sighted. Such a layout will definitely take the company to a higher level."
However, his mind had already drifted to the real purpose of his visit - to find clues about Xiao Chengcheng's poisoning.
His eyes would occasionally wander unconsciously, quickly scanning the surrounding environment, trying to capture any clues that might be related to Xiao Chengcheng.
Entering Bei Mingmo's office, the luxurious yet grand decoration immediately catches your eye.
The huge floor-to-ceiling windows allow plenty of light into the entire room, providing a wide view and allowing you to take in the bustling scenery of the city.
The floor is covered with thick imported carpets, and every step you take feels like you are walking on clouds. The desk is equipped with the latest computers and various high-tech office equipment, and the bookshelf next to it is filled with precious books and documents.
Bei Mingmo invited Ming Nanjin to sit down and personally poured him a cup of fragrant coffee.
"Lin Nan, I asked you to come this time because we have a project that is short of people and needs your help. This project is very important to our company, and I believe your ability will definitely help us."
Bei Ming Mo said sincerely, his eyes full of expectations for Ming Nan Jin.
Ming Nanjin nodded slightly, took the coffee with both hands, and said, "Mr. Beiming, thank you for the compliment. I will do my best."
He took a sip of coffee, thinking in his mind how to conduct the investigation without arousing Bei Mingmo's suspicion.
Next, Bei Mingmo introduced the project situation and relevant requirements to Ming Nanjin in detail.
He took out a thick stack of documents and explained as he flipped through them: "This project involves cooperation with an international giant. We need to come up with a perfect plan in a short period of time to seize the market opportunity."
While listening, Ming Nanjin was thinking about how to find an opportunity to collect clues about Xiao Chengcheng's poisoning.
His eyes were fixed on the documents, but his mind was searching for corners in the office where clues might be hidden.
During the communication with Bei Mingmo, Ming Nanjin behaved very professionally and attentively. He carefully recorded the key points and put forward some unique insights and suggestions from time to time, which made Bei Mingmo trust him more and more.
However, Bei Ming Mo was a shrewd man after all. His eyes would sweep over Ming Nan Jin from time to time, as if he was observing his every move.
Although Bei Mingmo appeared to be very enthusiastic towards Ming Nanjin, he always remained cautious in his heart.
While Bei Mingmo was answering the phone, Ming Nanjin quickly glanced around the office.
His eyes first fell on the documents on his desk, but they were all related to the current project.
Then, his eyes shifted to the bookshelf next to him, where the books and documents were neatly arranged.
Finally, his eyes fell on a filing cabinet behind Bei Mingmo's desk. The door was closed, and it seemed to hide an important secret. But the cabinet was locked and could not be opened easily.
After a while, Bei Mingmo ended the call and continued to discuss the details of the project with Ming Nanjin.
Ming Nanjin responded while thinking of ways to distract Bei Mingmo's attention.
"Mr. Bei Ming, regarding this project, I would like to take a look at the relevant market research report."
Ming Nanjin said, his eyes revealing his seriousness and dedication to the project.
Bei Mingmo nodded, got up and went to another room to get the report. In the few minutes that Bei Mingmo was away, Ming Nanjin quickly walked to the filing cabinet, took out a small tool from his pocket, and tried to open the lock.
His heartbeat quickened, and beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead. But he tried several times without success, and the lock core seemed to be unusually strong.
At this moment, he heard the footsteps of Bei Mingmo coming back, and hurried back to his seat, pretending nothing had happened.
He picked up the pen on the table and wrote something casually in the notebook, trying to calm his breathing.
In the following time, Ming Nanjin kept looking for opportunities, but Bei Mingmo hardly gave him any chance.
Bei Ming Mo always maintained close communication with him, making it impossible for him to break away to explore other possible clues.
Finally, it was lunch time, and Bei Mingmo invited Ming Nanjin to have lunch in the company restaurant.
Ming Nanjin thought that this might be an opportunity.
In the restaurant, Bei Mingmo greeted the company's employees and seemed very friendly.
He chatted and laughed with his employees, asked about their work progress and life, and presented the image of an amiable leader.
Ming Nanjin took advantage of Bei Mingmo's conversation with someone else, and quietly left the restaurant under the pretext of going to the bathroom. He walked hurriedly, his heart pounding like a drum, fearing that he would be discovered.
He quickly came to Bei Mingmo's office and used the tools he had prepared in advance to finally open the filing cabinet.
However, to his disappointment, the information in the cabinet from many years ago had been destroyed long ago, leaving only some recent project documents and general company information.
He gained nothing and felt lost and frustrated.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard footsteps outside, and his heart instantly rose to his throat.
