Chapter 621
George took a notebook and drew various complex symbols on the paper.
He had arranged all the numbers into a specific order and combined all the letters into various complex
English words.
Earl walked over and took a glance, but he could not understand a thing.
Although he descended from the Winters family, he was abandoned because of his health condition
after he was born.
He never attended preschool and attended middle school intermittently before he finished.
The level of his education prevented him from holding on to the position of Winters Corporation’s CEO
firmly.
Therefore, he needed to make sure he had a strong grip on everything now.
Earl had the urge to smoke again.
He stroked his chin and walked out of the CEO’s office.
George lowered his head as he calculated and wrote on the draft paper.
After a moment of calculating, he still could not come up with the eight-digit password combination.
Perhaps he should give it a try first.
Perhaps it was the date of Winters Corporation’s establishment with the first letter of his dad’s name.
George put down his pen and walked to the safe deposit box.
"Beep! Wrong password!"
A countdown appeared on the screen.
That meant he could only try another password half an hour later.
George scratched his hair, while different alphanumeric combinations appeared in his mind.He sighed
and sat back on the couch.
Suddenly, he heard someone talking beyond the door.
George got up and slowly approached the door.
"Boss, Jag and Axel have already entered the corporation."
George heard a very low voice outside and continued to close in.
When he heard the fragmented conversation, he subconsciously frowned.
Did the staff not call his dad Mr.Winters? Why would anyone call his dad "Boss" all of a sudden? Also,
who were Jag and Axel? Why did those names sound like they belonged to gangsters?
"Boss, the Customer Service Department’s manager is an old employee who was promoted a few
years ago.If we just kick him out and let Jag replace him, I’m afraid that a lot of people will be
dissatisfied."
"What are you afraid of?" Earl exhaled some smoke.
"As long as I’m here, nobody dares to say a thing."
"Okay, I’ll go and make arrangements.There’s also something else.The persons in charge of the
Finance Department, HR Department, and Administration Department are relatives of the Winters
family, so it’s not easy to deal with them.The Technical Department’s managers control the core
techniques, and we can’t find people to replace them instantly.What do you think, Boss?"
"Spend some money and recruit capable people from the dark web."
Earl frowned and said, "But we can’t rush this.Take your time."
If he made a big move, it would attract the attention of the Winters family’s relatives and the Winters
Corporation’s executives.
It would not be worth the loss if they suspected him, "Boss, a few of our men came over here early in
the morning.Would you like to go over and give them a briefing?"
"Let’s go and see."
Earl threw the cigarette butt into the trash can and followed his subordinate into the elevator.
George, who was standing behind the CEO’s office door, was so shaken that his back was drenched in
cold sweat.He was smart, and he had an outstanding IQ, but he could not understand his father’s
conversation with that man earlier.
George knew what every word and sentence meant, but it was puzzling when they were put
together.He did not understand why his dad wanted to kick the executives out of the company.He did
not understand why his dad wanted to make a big change in Winters Corporation.He did not
understand why his dad would rather spend a high price to recruit technicians from the dark web.
What had happened to spur his dad’s actions? George drew a tissue to wipe the sweat off his palms
and slowly walked toward the CEO’s desk.
After he glanced outside the door to make sure that nobody was there, he carefully flipped through the
documents on the desk.
They were of the recent projects in Winters Corporation, and they also had his father's recent
signatures.
George flipped through the pages before he suddenly paused.He had seen his dad’s signature
countless times.
The signature did not look different, but he found it slightly weird for some reason.
The strokes were not as strong as usual, and the end of the last word seemed a little weak and dull.
George looked at it for a while, but he missed the clue.He continued to lower his head and flip through
the documents on the desk.
There were projects from half a month ago, and after they accumulated each day, the desk was full of
documents that needed to be approved.
In the past, his dad never saved the day’s work until the next day, but why did he accumulate his
workload for half a month this time? The more George flipped through the documents, the more
puzzled he felt.
There were more and more things that did not add up about his dad.He searched the whole desk, but
he did not find anything related to the conversation outside.
Then, George set his sights on the drawers.
The drawers were not locked.He raised his hand and gently pulled one of the drawers out.
It was full of documents.He cast a glance at the door again like a thief and took the documents out.He
patiently flipped through them one by one and found that they were all the company’s financial
statements.They should be kept in the Finance Department.
Why were they in the CEO’s office? George placed the documents back and opened the second
drawer.Just like that, he searched through the drawers one by one.
Finally, he saw a completely different document.
[e-Bio Project Declaration] George frowned.
Winters Corporation had never invested in the field of biotechnology.
Why would there be such a thing? He flipped open the file carefully.
When he read the contents of the document, his eyes became wide with disbelief.
Biological intelligence, human anatomy, illegal trading...
These were things that he had never encountered, but he knew that they were illegal.
How could Winters Corporation be involved in such businesses? What was going on? Clack, clack! The
tapping sound of leather shoes on the floor came from outside the door.
George was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.He quickly put the documents back in
place, but a figure had already appeared in the doorway before could put the things away.
"what are you doing?". A cold voice rang out all of a sudden.
George had never been so terrified.He slowly stood up from the side of the desk and bit his bottom lip
hard.His upbringing did not allow him to lie, but he did not even understand what just happened, let
alone know what to say.
Earl slowly walked over.He noticed that the documents on the desk had clearly been flipped open.
The documents in the drawer at the bottom must have also been stuffed in a panic since the drawer
was not tightly closed.
He raised his leg and kicked the drawer door close before he sternly asked, "What were you looking
for?"
George’s voice was hoarse.He raised his head and looked into Earl’s eyes.He did not understand
many things, so perhaps he could seek his answer now.
"Dad, can I ask you a question?"
