Mingya Group's presidential office is on the second floor.

Xiaoya Ouyang's gaze was like a sharp sword that could penetrate through the river of time, staring intently at Lin Hai, as if trying to see through what he really did last night.

The company was on the verge of a crisis, and I had high hopes for Beast Lin, but unexpectedly, he didn't come home last night and had his phone turned off.

"Tell me, did you go for an erotic massage last night?"

Lin Hai dryly shook his head.

The CEO took a deep breath, softening her tone considerably: "I know you've been working very hard lately. It's understandable for a man to need some release after being pent up for too long. I'm worried about your safety. Tell me the truth, did you go for an erotic massage? I won't blame you."

Lin Hai kept shaking his head, thinking to himself: "CEO, you really treat me like a kindergarten kid. If I admit to the erotic massage, you'd take me down in a minute."

Xiaoya Ouyang frowned; she noticed that recently Beast Lin seemed to be getting smarter and wasn't so easy to fool.

"CEO, you're really wronging me."

"Oh? I'm wronging you?"

"I went out to investigate leads yesterday, and I didn't sleep all day," Lin Hai revealed the speech he had prepared.

Sure enough, Xiaoya Ouyang showed a hint of curiosity and asked, "Did you find anything?"

"Of course, with my involvement, there was bound to be a yield. Last night, in the bitter wind and snow, hard pressed by hunger and cold, a dark figure scurried about..."

"Speak plainly!"

"Uh, Gao Dashang transferred the shares of five controlling board members to Jin Corporation's junior CEO, Zhao Diao."

"Last night, Zhao Diao discovered I was investigating, and sent people to kill me."

"Luckily, with my unparalleled might, I single-handedly fought off many people, put Zhao Diao in the hospital, all to delay Gao Dashang's plans."

Having finished, Lin Hai snuffled feeling very wronged.

"Really?" Xiaoya Ouyang clearly did not believe him.

Lin Hai nodded earnestly: "It's absolutely true; don't you remember that I can control ice, fire, and lightning?"

"Stop spouting nonsense!"

"Heh heh, CEO, I was just joking to cheer you up, so you wouldn't think I went for an erotic massage."

"The truth is you don't need to worry, because you have strict control over financial power. When I went out yesterday, I only had fifty cents in coin on me."

Xiaoya Ouyang nodded; indeed, Beast Lin had only had fifty cents to his name recently.

"Besides that, I also contacted Huo Hao, he is rushing back and bringing a helper, someone called Snake Swallowing Whale."

"What? Snake Swallowing Whale? Could it be the financial prodigy Snake Swallowing Whale?"

Xiaoya Ouyang stood up abruptly, exclaiming in surprise.

"Is he that impressive?" Lin Hai blinked, completely clueless.

"If it really is the commercial prodigy Snake Swallowing Whale, then I can rest easy. With him involved, even ten minds like Gao Dashang's couldn't compete with him alone."

"That's impressive?"

"His most shining financial feat was starting with a thousand yuan and becoming the largest shareholder of a company just breaking one hundred million in assets, all in one month."

"What the heck? A joke, right? A thousand yuan, in one month, became the largest shareholder of a company worth hundreds of millions?"

Lin Hai was shocked as well; that ability was terrifying.

Put another way, give you a thousand yuan, and within a month you could become the CEO of a company – who can do that?

"It is precisely because of that accomplishment that he earned the nickname Snake Swallowing Whale, meaning that a snake can easily swallow a whale."

After Xiaoya Ouyang finished speaking, she shook off her dissatisfaction and nodded at Lin Hai approvingly, without stinting on praise: "You're doing very well, I've noticed recently your IQ really has shot up drastically, are you on some kind of drugs?"

Lin Hai rolled his eyes in protest: "CEO, I've always been smart, okay?"

"Since Zhaoda Company is digging its own grave, with Wall Street Wolf and Snake Swallowing Whale, two top financial experts coming, we'll let them cry bitterly in minutes."

Lin Hai also clenched his fist; the financial battle is like a war without smoke, Huo Hao on this level, in the financial world, is like Lin Hai now; he was also eager to see how Zhao Diao and Gao Chao will end up.

"Well, CEO, I'm going to continue investigating. Director Muxin will be here soon, there's so much to do, I'm a bit overwhelmed." Lin Hai said with an awkward smile.

Xiaoya Ouyang felt a bit sorry for Lin Hai, it was unexpected, at this crucial time, that he was the one helping her all along; perhaps this was the prelude to love that they call fate?

Having such a person by your side, when you think about it, is quite nice, although he often makes you angry, but now she realized that after getting angry, she could just take it out on him.

"Lin Hai, here's ten thousand yuan, take it for expenses. Be safe when investigating and following leads, if you're hungry, buy some good food, don't mistreat yourself."

"Ah? CEO, you're really kind to me, kisses."

"Cough cough, alright, just for today."

Lin Hai, grinning, pocketed the ten thousand yuan and left; Wang Muxin was waiting for him to complete the final task of the day.

Meanwhile, Gao Dashang stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office, looking down from the twenty-first floor, feeling the sense of power at his command.

Although his name meant high and grand, in reality, he wasn't very tall, at just around 1.65 meters, clearly not living up to the expectations embodied in the name given by his parents.

"Just a few more days, and I'll be able to move my office up to the twenty-second floor, and then, I'll shock everyone in the whole group."

"Xiaoya Ouyang, you 'sister', you always pretend to be above it all, don't you? This time, when you fall from the pedestal of the goddess and end up in a sorry state, I wonder what a different taste of pleasure that will be?"

His phone rang immediately afterwards.

"Hello? This is Gao Dashang."

"What? Zhao Diao is unconscious in the hospital? What happened?"

Gao Dashang furrowed his brow.

"He was beaten? By whom?"

"The person claimed to be Lin Hai? At Wang Muxin's apartment?"

Gao Dashang felt a shock in his heart; Lin Hai was Xiaoya Ouyang's man, could it be that Xiaoya Ouyang found out about his little maneuvers and started to fight back?

He quickly dismissed this idea and shook his head.

"Considering Zhao Diao's nature, he probably tried to force himself on Wang Muxin and ended up getting handled by Lin Hai; seems like a coincidence."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Dashang thought for a while, then dialed his son Gao Chao's number.

"Xiao Chao, is the great Qiu Yu's plan completed?"

"It's done, dad, very smoothly. Even Lin Hai has been controlled by Qiu Yu."

"What? That's great! It seems my worries were unnecessary."

Gao Dashang let out a sigh of relief, feeling that victory was beckoning him.
