Chapter 61: Elizabeth Begins the First Step in Her Revenge Plan
Standing in front of the public wearing a mask for the first time, Elizabeth was still a little apprehensive in her heart, for fear that these shareholders who were familiar with her would see the flaws. In order to prevent the flaws from being caught on the edge by those high-definition cameras, she deliberately combed her shawl-length curly hair, and half-covered it with a few strands of hair on her forehead. Instead of chasing Elizabeth for months of unprovoked disappearance, the shareholders and reporters in the audience focused on the newly developed anti-gravity device components at her space research center. No one paid attention to the difference in her appearance, although she was radiant today, with a fair face lined with blonde curls and a touch of scarlet lips that looked particularly energetic.
George in the audience originally wanted to take advantage of Elizabeth's disfigurement in the car accident to kick her out of the board of directors, but he was helplessly coerced by her, so he knew that Elizabeth on the stage was wearing a mask, so he could only cooperate with her to act.
Elizabeth was relieved that the press conference ended without incident. Back in the office, she thought that it was not a long-term solution to always wear a mask to work, and she should find a suitable reason to announce that she was going to have plastic surgery, and then she could remove the old mask, show her new face generously, and be a relaxed person. But before that, she has to complete a revenge plan that kills three birds with one stone.
The bright spring country of F is becoming more and more romantic and lazy, as if the melodious music of the violin is wafting everywhere. As night falls, the setting sun casts on the spire of the church, reflecting the sparkling surface of the Seti River, and the breeze is intoxicating with the scent of roses. In the open-air bar on the top floor of Le Perchoir, Elisabeth sits elegantly in a position by the river. Her curly blonde hair was loosely wrapped in a silk scarf with a large floral pattern, and she wore a navy blue trench coat that showed off her fair calves. Elizabeth looked at the neatly trimmed linden trees on both sides of the road by the Seti River in the distance, and took a slow sip of aperitif.
Wei Jiajun held a bouquet of flowers in his hand, walked to Elizabeth's seat with sincere fear, and said cautiously, "Miss Hecate, I'm sorry I'm late. ”
Elizabeth looked back and smiled, "It's me who came too early, and I want to enjoy the scenery alone for a while." She was pleasantly surprised to see the bouquet of red and yellow roses and gerberas of various colors given by Wei Jiajun, and asked Wei Jiajun to sit down in a good mood.
Wei Jiajun smiled and quickly put the bouquet in the vase on the table and sat down in the seat opposite Elizabeth. He had been nervous since he received a call yesterday about Elizabeth's invitation to dinner, and for the first time the No. 2 man in the Hecate group had asked to meet him alone, and he didn't know what kind of problems would arise.
"Miss Hecate, what do you like to taste? Would you like me to recommend a few specialties for you? Wei Jiajun asked respectfully.
"Call me Elizabeth, David, and please recommend a special dish for me." David is Wei Jiajun's foreign name, and Elizabeth obviously doesn't want to be too much between the two.
Wei Jiajun skillfully ordered famous dishes such as pan-fried foie gras, salt-baked snails, and grilled veal steak for Elizabeth, and accompanied it with a bottle of 95-year-old Lafite.
It was already dark, the lights began to flicker everywhere, Elizabeth crossed her hands in front of her chest, tilted her head and suddenly asked Wei Jiajun: "How much benefit did George promise you?" Wei Jiajun didn't expect Elizabeth to go straight to the point as soon as she came up. He was thinking quickly about how to answer. He pretended to beckon Elizabeth for a first plate of smoked silver carp and mushroom bisque to buy himself time to think.
"Oh, Mr. George Hecate really didn't promise any special reward, and I was just doing my duty." Wei Jiajun picked up the words that could not be wrong.
"Really? Well, you're doing your duty to be honest with me, and I'm also a member of the board. Elizabeth began to speak very seriously. Wei Jiajun hurriedly nodded yes.
Elizabeth took out a stack of materials from her bag and pushed it in front of Wei Jiajun. "This is a huge amount of money that you have embezzled over the past few years by taking advantage of the opportunity of the secret expansion of the biopharmaceutical research center project. Check this ledger carefully, are you familiar with it? ”
Wei Jiajun looked down at the ledger, shocked, and immediately panicked. Elizabeth continued: "You took advantage of George's psychology that he didn't want the other directors to know the secrets of the biological center, and deceived both sides of the world, and the real number should be more than that." You're such a two-faced person. ”
Wei Jiajun gasped, his hands were already trembling a little, and the originally romantic scene immediately became a solemn Hongmen banquet. The stack contained details of the money he kept on his personal computer, as well as his personal bank account numbers in Swiss banks, and the contents of his emails with George, suppliers, and others. Once this bomb is detonated, it is equivalent to dragging him to the eighteenth layer of hell, and he will never have the power to turn over. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead, and he sat blank, his mind blank.
The waiter carries a beautiful tray and serves them food. The gold-enamelled plate contains a small slice of foie gras charred on the outside and tender on the inside, sprinkled with a few mint leaves. Wei Jiajun was not interested in food at all at this time, but Elizabeth took back the stack of materials in a chic manner, and then said condescendingly to Wei Jiajun Nunu: "David, let's taste the food first." Let's talk about it after eating. ”
Elizabeth completely ignored Wei Jiajun's feelings, and tasted one dish after another with great interest. She was in complete control of the situation, and she was very proud. This stack of documents is a secret that she saw in her hospital bed, sitting on a hospital bed with gauze wrapped around her face, and spending several days cracking Wei Jiajun's computer password, breaking through his firewall, and entering his private space. As expected, Michael kept saying that he was a villain, and it seemed right. The amount of money he embezzled was enough to send him to prison for decades, and he could be blackmailed into doing things for himself.
Wei Jiajun is not a fool, he estimates that Elizabeth will definitely not denounce herself now, she pinched her handle just to know George's secret. Since it is still possible to make trades, it means that it has not reached a dead end. The spring breeze was still a little chilly at night, Wei Jiajun got up and put on a shawl for Elizabeth, and asked diligently, "What can I do for you to atone for your sins?"
"It depends on how much you're willing to tell me the truth." Elizabeth was very satisfied with Wei Jiajun's attitude. "I want you to report to me in detail what happened after Lee Kwang Han went to the biopharmaceutical research center last time, including what experiments George did to Lee Kwang Han and himself. Also, what is the effect of the 'Spirit of a Thousand Dreams'? ”
