I’m In Charge of SCP

Lei Shan, Male, 32 years old, a Mei Descendant, president of CN region of Sirui Group. As for his younger brother, Lei Shui, who was two years younger than him, was called Sirui Shuang Bi. Although Yang Xue had never seen him in person, she had heard about them on the TV or the news.

As for the Sirui Group, it was widely known by everyone. It was an international mega-company involving fields covering most high-tech industries such as drugs, medical hardware, defense industry products. Even Site-14 used the identity of Peikang Pharmaceuticals to make indirect trade deals.

After hearing what Lei Shan had just said, Yang Xue realized that he was from the Foundation. She did not expect the Foundation to have so much influence in such companies.

After Lei Shan finished his statement, he took a sip of water and stopped talking. The scene was quiet.

Everyone was still digesting this shocking information.

The first to react was Minister Qiu. "Advisor Zhang, would you like to drink some water?"

Principal Bai immediately said, "Yes, yes, Advisor Zhang. Please have a seat, is this lady your friend? come sit with us too." Minister Qiu and Principal Bai were very attentive, one pouring water and handing tea. Afraid of neglecting Zhang Jue and making him unhappy.

Usually, they were all high and mighty figures who were flattered by others. Now they were courteous towards a young man, not feeling the slightest blush. Probably this was because of the power of money. The two old directors took advantage of this situation, and all smiled helplessly.

Only Vice President Zhang sweated coldly on the scene, and he cursed Zhang Shijia to death in his heart. He had just said that Zhang Jue was from an unknown company, and he was hopeless. Amid his complicated situation, President Bai gave him a thumbs up, probably thinking that Zhang Jue was invited by him, and he didn't even know how he would get his words back.

Yang Xue looked at Zhang Jue and asked him what to do now with her eyes. Zhang Jue was patronizing, taking the tea handed to him by President Bai and sitting his butt on the sofa, right next to the young president.

His face was so thick that a bullet couldn't penetrate it so that he wouldn't be shy about it. Since someone else begged them to stay, he had no reason to be afraid. In the end, he wanted to see what President Lei was up to.

Yang Xue sat next to them. The rest of the people were seated in turn, and it was good that the sofa in the VIP room was big enough, so many people did not look crowded. President Lei had already shown the way to President Bai and Minister Qiu, and in order to get the investment, they had to get Zhang Jue's approval.

The two did not care about anything else and immediately gunned to the point, driven by their interests. As long as they could please this Advisor Zhang and make him happy, the matter would be half done. They have been immersed in their respective positions for many years, and they are not bad at hustling around.

President Bai said, "Advisor Zhang looks young, but I didn't expect that he was so talented that he could be favored by the Sirui Group."

Hearing this question, Zhang Jue sighed, "To tell you the truth, you may not believe it. But I was forced, arrested me, coerced me, and used the good ol' trick, so I had no choice take the offer!" Yang Xue pinched him fiercely.

Minister Qiu seemed not to see the small movements of the two and laughed, "Advisor Zhang is good at joking. I heard from Mr. Lei that you helped the Sirui Group solve a crisis. Can you tell us the details? I'm curious."

President Bai also echoed, "Yes, there is still a little time before the opening ceremony of the school, Advisor Zhang, could you please tell us about it?"

Afraid to scare you to death by telling them, Zhang Jue said helplessly, "Sorry, company secrets. It's not convenient to disclose."

"Understandable, Understandable. Then let's move on to another topic we can talk about." Principal Bai laughed and poked Vice President Zhang, who was sitting next to him, and whispered, "Old Man Zhang, why don't you say something."

The corners of Vice President Zhang's mouth twitched, and he just wanted to dig a hole in the ground right now.

Zhang Jue dealt with the boring questions thrown by President Bai and Minister Qiu, but his real purpose of staying was to communicate with that President Lei. But at this moment is there are outsiders. He was not in a good situation to speak with him directly. So he thought of a plan.

The sofas in this VIP room were all leather, with a wooden edge fixed around the outer extension. Zhang Jue and Lei Shan were not far away, and he spoke his hand on the edge of the sofa and tapped his finger a few times.

If recorded by someone with an eye for detail, the seemingly random knocking would reveal that it was a string of Morse code.

..... -. --- .... -----. -. -. .... - (Hello there!)

Lei Shan stopped drinking after hearing Zhang Jue's knock. He smiled slightly, put the cup on the table, and rested his hand on the arm of the sofa.

... -... -... --- (Hello.)

Zhang Jue spoke to Minister Qiu while tapping on the couch.

. --- .... ----.... -. -. -... -... - .... -... -... - (Who are you)

-... -... -----. --... --... ----. (An ally.)

Lei Shan tapped repeatedly.

-... --... -... -. -. -----. --... --... ----. (A faithful ally.)

(Morse code and English translated below.)

Zhang Jue: "So what's your purpose here, to save the planet?"

Lei Shan: "As I said earlier, the Foundation headquarters decided to commend you, and I'm here to carry out that mission."

Zhang Jue: "Wow, that's good news. Commendation for what, a banner?"

Lei Shan: "Not now. The details will be communicated to you later."

Zhang Jue: "Other than that, was there anything else?"

Lei Shan: "Yes, the gentleman asked me to say hello to you on his behalf."

Zhang Jue: "Which one?"

Lei Shan: "The one you spoke to."

Zhang Jue: "O5-6?"

Lei Shan: "Shh - not a word."

Zhang Jue: "So, who are you really? I mean, who are you in the Foundation."

Lei Shan: "No need to worry, Advisor Zhang. I'm just that gentleman's secretary, that's all."

The secretary of an O5 Council member? Zhang Jue raised his eyebrows. This position was quite sensitive. They held many secrets. In the Foundation, apart from the O5 Council, knowing they were visible to the public, they were the most influential individuals.

In a way, some of them were being nurtured as the next O5. The fact that the Foundation had sent Lei Shan over clearly indicated the importance they attached to Zhang Jue.

As time goes, Zhang Jue kept talking to the crowd naturally, not looking any different at all. No one knew that he had been communicating secretly with Lei Shan while dealing with their questions.

Only Yang Xue noticed their unusual behavior, but Yang Xue's brain speed was not fast enough to keep up with them at all. Without a translating machine, it was almost impossible for an ordinary person to translate Morse code, not to mention sentence-by-sentence dialogue translation. From this point on, it was clear that Zhang Jue and Lei Shan were both monsters.

"Gentlemen, it's getting late. The opening ceremony is about to begin." President Bai looked at his watch and smiled, "After the lunch, there will be a wonderful performance by our students in the afternoon, Mr. Lei, Advisor Zhang, you two must not miss it."

Lei Shan smiled and nodded, behaving like a gentleman whenever he could. Zhang Jue, on the other hand, wanted to refuse. He had agreed to accompany Yang Xue in the first place, just to grab a meal, and didn't have time to watch any performance here.

He was just about to find an excuse when he suddenly felt his head start buzzing. It seemed to be an anomaly was approaching. Zhang Jue sighed and gave up struggling.

The rain was coming.
