Chapter 770

Jack’s words carried profound meaning. While he expressed support

for investigating corrupt management within the company and even suggested key departments, he also hinted at not going too far..

Was he worried about being implicated if Nash uncovered something

about him and was thus preemptively taking precautions?

Jack laughed heartily before replying, “I’m just reminding you. You’re

cutting off someone’s illicit gains, after all. If they’re desperate

individuals, I’m afraid they might come after you!”

His words seemed sincere as if he was genuinely expressing concern

for Nash’s safety.

“Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Lindon. I’ll be careful,” Nash said

with a smile. He then glanced at the time and said, “It’s getting late,

and I have another meeting shortly. I won’t disturb your work, Mr.

Lindon.”

Jack stood up and said, “I’ll repeat what I said earlier, Mr. Calcraft.

Think twice before you act!”

Nash stared directly into Jack’s eyes as if trying to read his thoughts.

Jack remained a picture of calm. He was wearing a hint of a smile,

making it hard to discern anything from his expression.

“Goodbye,” Nash finally said with a toothy smile.

The secretary then escorted Nash to the elevator before returning to

the office.

Back at his desk, Jack sat down, one hand supporting his head as he

swiveled his chair. He was deep in thought.

The secretary returned and said seriously, “This Nash person looks a

bit

it arrogant. It didn’t look like he took you seriously at all.”

Jack’s eyes narrowed. “What kind of person do you think he is?”

The secretary understood where the man was getting at and replied earnestly, “It’ll probably be difficult to win him over.”

“Have you looked into his background?” he asked.

The secretary replied, “It looks like he’s the son-in-law of a third-rate. family in Jonford. He also seems to have a good relationship with Melody Stone.”

Jack tapped the armrest thoughtfully and said, “Melody doesn’t have

the power to appoint Nash as the director of the Inspection.

Department.”

The secretary’s eyes narrowed. “What about Fabian?”

Jack rubbed his nose. “If he’s from Fabian’s faction, then we’ve got a big problem on our hands. Go inform our people down there to lie low

for a while and destroy whatever needs to be destroyed as soon as possible. They shouldn’t cause trouble for me!”

Nash returned to the Inspection Department. Lynn and Miles were

questioning two employees from the Finance Department who had been identified by Willow.

Arnauld, Willow, and these two employees were all involved in

embezzling cafeteria procurement funds. Lynn reported the investigation results to Nash.

The two employees confessed to everything. They revealed that they had spent the money they embezzled and that it could not be

recovered. If reported to the authorities, they could be sentenced to

several years in prison.

Nash leaned back in his chair and asked with a smile, “How do you

think we should handle this?”

“Of course, we should report it. They embezzled a significant amount, causing losses to the company. They should be sentenced to at least two years!” Lynn blurted out.

Nash asked again, “What about Arnauld? Should he be taken in?”

Lynn nodded. “Mr. Jorgez was swift and prepared the lawsuit with the Legal Department two hours ago.”

Chuckling, Nash said, “Let’s use this opportunity to set an examp Arnauld will go to jail and the others will receive warnings and writt reprimands. Additionally, they won’t be eligible for promotion, company lotteries, or bonuses for the next three years.”

Jack’s words made sense. Not everyone was indifferent to money, especially the hardworking workers striving for a living. Given enough temptation, how many would not be tempted?

Lynn had wanted to say something but did not dare to go against the director’s decision. She nodded and replied, “Yes, I’ll handle things according to your instructions.”

Although the director had just started working today, he acted more decisively than Juan ever did. Lynn believed that under his leadership, the Inspection Department would grow and Universal Group would undergo a thorough reorganization under the Inspection

Department’s supervision.

At five o’clock, the end of the workday, Nash approached the

fingerprint machine to clock out.

“Clock-in unsuccessful!” The machine emitted a failure alert.

Nash tried again, but it failed once more.

Standing behind him, Lynn chuckled and said, “It must be broken. Let

me try…”

She pressed her thumb against the machine to clock out.
