Arjun with full commitment on somehow firing him approached Alex.

He forced himself to smile while speaking,

"Very good. Based on my two previous experiences....congratulations on being promoted to supervisor.

Now, ListenM Carefully! I will teach you one final trick... Do you see that man drinking water by the water dispenser? Go over there! Beat him up!"

Alex looked surprised, "This works too?"

"It absolutely must be done!"

"You listened to me the first two times and you got promoted and received raises twice did you not?"

"This time just listen to me. I guarantee you will not go wrong!"

"Go! Give him a beating!"

Arjun urged with false sincerity plastered across his face "Do not worry. I guarantee with my integrity that I will never betray you. Just go for it!"

After a moment's hesitation Alex nodded in agreement. His expression showed perfect naivety.

Then he strode forward with great momentum and purpose. His timing was deliberate.

"Hehe."

Arjun sneered with satisfaction. Victory was finally his.

The employee he had instructed Alex to beat up was the most senior employee in company operations.

He was one of the first people hired when the company was founded.

This person was practically the company's model employee and role model. Everyone respected him to the core and would never see him get beaten by a nobody.

Several times when Chairman Mr. Raghavan visited the company he praised this employee publicly too.

He stated that everyone should learn from him. His dedication to the company was legendary.

An honest person like that was beloved throughout the organization.

Few people in the company disliked him. He was universally admired.

Furthermore!

If Alex beat up this veteran employee without distinguishing right from wrong it would definitely arouse public outrage throughout the company.

In the end Alex might even be fired immediately of the consequences of his actions.

Under his watching gaze Alex rushed forward to beat him, he couldn't help but elated.

And then he saw without saying a single word Alex punched the old employee twice with calculated force.

This employee who was over fifty years old collapsed to the ground dramatically.

Upon witnessing this Arjun immediately shouted

"Alex! What are you doing? How dare you hit a senior employee? So you have been promoted too quickly! Have you gotten too cocky?!"

His voice carried throughout the office to attract everyone attention.

Hearing the noise they all turned to look.

It all attracted the Director Divansh who was inside in his office.

But at that precise moment something unexpected occurred!

Three USB drives fell out of this veteran employee's hat! They clattered onto the floor.

"What is that, is that USB drives inside his hat?"

Director Divansh noticed something was seriously wrong too. He immediately stepped forward to picked up the USB drives with concern.

"Hmm, Wait a moment?

Aren't these USB drives are from our technical department! No leader in the department or company below level B has the right to obtain these USB drives.

Where did you get these devices Varun? Oh no...no need to tell me I know now! You are a corporate spy sent to our company by a rival business!"

In a very short time everyone's eyes widened with shock. The revelation was stunning to see a veteran employee be a spy.

At this critical moment a technician rushed forward to verify these USB drives. His hands trembled as he examined them still npt believing thta his role model is someone's spy.

But when he check the drives he couldn't be more shocked because Director Divansh's guess was absolutely correct.

This veteran employee was genuinely a corporate spy!

Years of deception was exposed in front of everyone to see.

For AI companies the leakage of data used to train artificial intelligence represented an extremely serious accident and security breach!

No one had expected that this seemingly honest long-time employee was actually working for a rival company as one of their spies. The betrayal cut deep.

"No wonder I said that every time our company was about to release a new model our competitors always beat us to market!

They even registered many patents first! I never imagined there was a spy operating within our company.

The chairman and I had suspected this for some time. However we have not been able to catch this spy until now."

At this point Director Divansh's face displayed admiration while he looked at Alex "I did not expect that it was a new employee like you who discovered this spy. Tell me. How exactly did you figure out he was a spy?"

Alex had an innocent-looking expression. He smiled and said "A senior colleague in the marketing department told me about it."

---------‐

"What?!"

Arjun when he saw USB drives he was the first one to hide and when he saw what happend he almost wanted to find a wall and bang his head against it repeatedly!

He was so depressed he wanted to die! The universe was against him.

This was impossible!

This was not scientific!

One or two coincidences were understandable

But how did Alex still manage to do good by accident the third time?

Was this the legendary chosen one blessed by fate?

Arjun was so angry he wanted to overturn the entire table. Flip every desk in sight.

After everything was resolved Alex found Arjun. He said with a warm smile "Thank you senior colleague for your guidance. If it were not for you I would not have gotten promoted and received raises so quickly."

Arjun could only stare silently. His soul had left his body.

He sighed and said weakly "Do not talk to me. I want to be alone!"

Alex continued "Senior you are truly a prophet who can see the future."

"You are the true god among men."

Arjun looked utterly hopeless and devastated. Broken completely.

What should he do now.

He wanted to cry...but tears would not even come.

Was it so wrong to scheme against new employees? Somehow he lost his position and even got the other person promoted multiple times.

Eventually Alex took his place.

He was probably the only person in the world this unlucky today!

Behind the Scenes

Alex laughed internally with satisfaction. Everything had gone according to plan.

Today his series of bombshell successes had contained hidden mysteries. Nothing was accidental today.

What appeared as luck was actually meticulous preparation he had done with Sahil. Every move had been calculated.

With the money he had earned in Ancient Times Alex had invested a company through Sahil weeks ago.

They purchased a security investigation company called Silver Shield Security. This company could be described as possessing national-level investigation capabilities.

The company employed numerous hackers and investigators worldwide.

Investigating a recently established AI company was extraordinarily simple for them.

From top to bottom the company had already been thoroughly examined and brought under Alex's control.

Every employee had been analyzed from head to toe. Everyone's secrets were uncovered by them.

The moment Alex entered the company building he had already known everything.

He knew about the deputy director's embezzlement. He knew about the corporate spy.

He knew about Arjun's reputation and tactics. Silver Shield had provided comprehensive files on everyone.

When Arjun had first approached him with the scheme Alex had instantly recognized the game.

He knew this manager's history of bullying newcomers. The pattern was documented in seventeen previous cases.

The USB drive containing evidence against the deputy director? Alex had already known that evidence existed.

Silver Shield had compiled an even more extensive file. But he let Arjun think he was handing over secret information. The timing had been perfect because Alex knew the chairman was watching for exactly this kind of loyalty test.

When Alex stood up to question Director Divansh's plan in the meeting it was not spontaneous courage.

Silver Shield had informed him three days prior that the chairman wanted to test new employees. The plan had deliberate flaws inserted specifically to see who would speak up. Alex had simply played his part with perfect timing.

The corporate spy incident was the masterpiece. Silver Shield had identified the veteran employee as a spy within two hours of Alex joining.

They had tracked his communications and movements. Alex knew exactly when the spy would be at the water dispenser through his daily habits.

He knew the USB drives would be delivered today.

When Arjun suggested beating up the veteran employee Alex almost laughed.

The manager had accidentally selected the one person Alex needed an excuse to confront. The timing could not have been more perfect.

Today Alex seemed like a reckless hothead riding on pure luck.

However who were the pawns in this game?

Who was the chess player moving pieces across the board?

It was crystal clear to anyone paying attention!

Otherwise where in the world are there so many coincidences? Luck did not work that way.

The Next Day

Alex continued working at the company as though nothing unusual had happened.

But not long after Alex arrived Director Divansh approached him.

He invited Alex to his office for tea.

Divansh looked at Alex with obvious admiration shining in his eyes,

"Alex you have performed extraordinarily well these past two days. Especially when you caught our company spy!

This matter is already known to all employees in the company. You have absolutely done a tremendous job!

Even Chairman Raghavan praised you highly after hearing about it. He called me personally last night."

Alex maintained an innocent-looking expression. He stated modestly "This is not my achievement. It was Senior Arjun who was in charge before who guided me. His experience was invaluable."

Director Divansh stared in confusion.

"!!!!!!!?"

Arjun helped you?

The same Arjun who had been trying to sabotage you at every turn?

Are you sure??
