Nash panicked. “Ah, I’m almost done.”

Hera was puzzled. “Who are you talking to?”

“The president,” Nash replied.

“Oh…”

Hera took in a sharp breath and whispered, “Why don’t you hang up

ма

first? Are you making the president wait for you to finish the call?”

This was the president of Universal Group they were talking about. Although he was only the president

of the Jonford branch, Universal Group’s name was still well-known. For someone to be able to sit in

the president’s position meant that they were extraordinary.

“Alright, I’ll hang up first. I’ll pick you up after you get off work later,” Nash said with a gentle smile.

“I’ll wait for you, then. No lying to me!” Hera warned.

“Of course, I’m not lying.”

Nash hung up the phone, quickly stood up, and apologized, “My apologies, Mr. Lindon. My wife called

to check on me.”

Jack chuckled. “So, even you are afraid of your wife, Mr. Calcraft!”

Nash was the one who made the call just now yet he claimed that his wife had called to check on him.

This man was lying through his teeth.

Of course, having been in the business world for a long time, Jack

knew some things were better left unsaid. Exposing the truth might only make things awkward for both

parties.

The Inspection Department was not a party one should so easily

offend, even if he was the president. It was, after all, the only

department in the company not under his jurisdiction.

Nash smiled and said, “Every household has its difficulties.”

Jack pointed to the couch. “Mr. Calcraft, please have a seat.”

“You too, Mr. Lindon,” Nash returned politely.

Jack’s expression softened a bit. It seemed that this guy was not

completely clueless, after all! He took the lead and sat down on the sofa, then instructed his secretary

to prepare tea again.

Nash sat upright on the opposite couch and said, “Mr. Lindon, I’ve

come to inform you that the Inspection Department has been

established for nearly two weeks now.

“In the coming days, we will conduct strict supervision over the entire



company. We’ll be focusing on personnel in management who harm

the company’s interests for small gains.”

Jack was aware of Arnauld’s embezzlement and the issue with the

Purchasing Department. This man had just taken office and was

already targeting two departments in a row. However, this might yet

prove beneficial. He hoped Nash would bring down his two nemeses.

“As you’re part of the Inspection Department, I will, of course, support

your work. However, I hope you’ll consider carefully when dealing with those management personnel. If

too many are cleared out in a short

time, it may adversely affect the company’s production,” Jack said

with a serious expression.

“Yes, I understand that. Thank you, Mr. Lindon, for your understanding! “Nash smiled slightly

“As far as I know, the biggest issues are within the Purchasing

Department, Finance Department, Warehouse Management

Department, and Audit Department, I suggest you take a closer look

at these departments, Mr. Calcraft,” Jack reminded Nash with a smile.

“It seems you’re well informed.” Nash smiled mysteriously. For him to know so much about the issues

yet not take action as the president would be considered neglect, no?

Jack could tell from Nash’s smile what he wanted to say and added

helplessly, “I believe you’ve inquired about the company’s internal

situation. Universal Group is not something I alone have control over.”

The secretary poured a cup of freshly brewed tea for Nash and Jack.

“Have some tea, Mr. Calcraft,” Jack said.

Nash lifted the teacup, took a sip, and asked, “Mr. Lindon, plea

continue.”

Jack blew on the hot tea, took a few sips, and said, “There ar things that are not as simple as you

imagine. In fact, most pe pursuit of interests is within the acceptable range for the comp

“Do you know why the kings of old did not kill their ministers desp knowing they were corrupt?”

He did not wait for Nash to answer and continued, “It’s because the value they create far exceeds what

they embezzle. It’s not just the Jonford branch; even the high-level executives of Universal Group’s

headquarters seek benefits.”

After a pause, Jack topped up his teacup and added seriously, “So, Mr. Calcraft, I don’t oppose your

investigation, and I may even support it. But I hope you can assess the situation, know when to stop,

and not bring trouble upon yourself.”

Nash chuckled, “Mr. Lindon, are you reminding me or threatening me?”
