My identity is becoming increasingly outrageous.

Chapter 38, Office 824

This was Wang Hong's purpose.

Using surveillance footage to locate the floor where the woman in yoga pants was located.

If possible, it would be best to find out the location of her office.

Wang Hong knocked on the door of the monitoring room while carrying takeout.

Soon after, a man in a security guard uniform opened the door.

He glanced at Wang Hong, and only after seeing the work badge on his chest did he ask, "What can I do for you?"

"Hello, I'm Wang Hong from the sales office. I dropped something this morning and would like to check the surveillance footage of the staff elevator today." Wang Hong smiled and handed over the bag in his hand.

The security guard had clearly not eaten either. Seeing Wang Hong like this, he hesitated for a moment before taking his takeout: "Come in, but let's make it clear first, I can only show you the surveillance footage within my access limits."

Wang Hong immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay."

The security guard seemed to have encountered this situation before. After leading Wang Hong inside, he asked him to sit down and wait.

Then, while holding the takeout, he spoke a few words to another security guard, who looked at Wang Hong and nodded.

It's not a big problem for my colleague to ask me to just check the elevator surveillance footage.

After discussing it, the two waved to Wang Hong.

Wang Hong immediately walked over to the two people and took out two packets of Furongwang cigarettes, handing them to them respectively.

This is what Wang Hong asked the delivery guy to bring along when he ordered takeout.

When asking someone for a favor, cigarettes are actually more effective than food, provided the other person smokes.

Clearly, both of them smoked, and when they saw Wang Hong's Furongwang cigarette, they politely declined, saying, "Just one is enough, no need to be so polite."

But Wang Hong insisted on giving them the cigarettes, and after a few exchanges, the two men accepted them.

"What time of day's surveillance footage do you want to see? Which elevator?"

"At 8:53 this morning, in employee elevator number 2, I wanted to see if anyone had found my ID card," Wang Hong had already prepared his explanation.

"Okay." The security guard immediately went to operate the system and access the surveillance footage.

Wang Hong stood quietly to the side, waiting patiently.

The surveillance footage was quickly retrieved.

Just as Wang Hong had noted down the time, he saw the woman in yoga pants appear in the elevator.

Then the elevator started to rise and eventually stopped on the 4th floor.

Everyone got off the elevator, except for three people who didn't, including the woman in yoga pants.

The elevator then continued moving.

Wang Hong finally got off the elevator on the 8th floor.

"It seems I didn't see anything." The security guard looked at Wang Hong. By now, everyone in the elevator had left, and no one had made any move to pick up anything, nor had anything fallen into the elevator.

"Can you show me the corridor on the 8th floor?" Wang Hong continued to press the issue.

Upon hearing this, the two frowned, but after thinking for a moment, they still allowed Wang Hong to access the surveillance footage. After all, they felt obligated to help him.

"You can only see a portion," the security guard reminded him.

Then they released a surveillance video from the 8th-floor corridor.

The image of the woman in yoga pants appeared smoothly, but it wasn't the person Wang Hong thought she was.

Instead, she went back to being the beautiful woman in the baseball cap, wearing yoga pants and a tight-fitting top that perfectly accentuated her curves.

Wang Hong raised an eyebrow upon seeing this. This surveillance footage almost followed the elevator footage closely; in just two seconds, the woman in yoga pants changed her outfit.

So, which one is her true self?

Wang Hong didn't have time to think and immediately called a halt.

The two security guards looked at him with puzzled expressions.

"Who is this beautiful woman? Her figure is amazing!" Wang Hong exclaimed, his mouth agape in shock.

The security guards had also seen it, and their expressions turned lewd: "Stunning, right? That body is incredible. I've never seen many like that on Douyin."

"We watch the security footage every day, and we've seen her countless times. When she walks, her body jiggles from front to back—she's definitely the real deal!"

The atmosphere immediately improved when the three of them started talking about beautiful women.

Wang Hong pointed eagerly at the yoga-pants-clad woman on the screen and said, "Hold on with the ID for now, can I see which office she's from?"

"Brother, this woman is top-notch, you can't just chase after her. She's not someone a lowly employee like us can handle."

"Yes, just admire it from afar. This kind is a thorny rose; it's beautiful but prickly."

The two older brothers tried to persuade Wang Hong.

"We should at least give it a try," Wang Hong insisted.

"Okay, I'll show you." The security guard eventually pulled up the next surveillance video as well.

The footage shows the woman in yoga pants walking straight into the corridor and eventually opening the door to an office and going inside.

"Which office is this?" Wang Hong stared wide-eyed, but couldn't see clearly.

"824." The security guard, familiar with the floors, recognized the room number at a glance.

"Those with private offices are at least deputy managers. Brother, you should give up," the security guard advised Wang Hong again.

In situations where there is a complete inequality in status, unless one has outstanding looks and physique, there is really not much of a chance.

Wang Hong is clearly not this type; his modeling can only be described as mediocre.

"That's right, thanks." Wang Hong had gotten the information he wanted, thanked the two of them, and prepared to leave.

"Aren't you going to look for your ID?" the security guard asked kindly.

After discussing the yoga pants-clad beauty, the two women became much closer to Wang Hong.

"No need, if I really can't find it, I'll just go and get a new one."

Wang Hong left the monitoring room.

He finally figured out where the woman in yoga pants worked.

Next, I need to figure out how to go down to the 8th floor to find out what's going on.

Back in the sales office, Wang Hong picked up the now-cold hamburger and started eating it.

I glanced at my colleagues around me, and sure enough, they started acting like robots during lunch break.

In their memory, they were taking a lunch break at noon, but in reality they were working, which took a toll on their health over time.

Most importantly, this kind of work is extremely inefficient; you can't remember much after a whole afternoon, and it actually makes your health worse.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing to work without getting enough rest and still have to squeeze out all your potential?

Xu Man went out at noon and wasn't here.

However, given that she works at the sales office every day, she should already know about the employees' situation.

Wang Hong was curious about her opinion on the employees' condition and decided to ask her later.

Based on Xu Man's reaction, we can roughly determine whether she has been brainwashed or not.

Wang Hong simulated her various reactions and felt a headache coming on. Hongda Group's approach seemed very complicated to him.

It's not something a new employee like him, who's only been here a few days, could figure out.

He needs time.

You can't get fat in one bite; it's better to investigate this matter thoroughly.

After finishing his hamburger, Wang Hong leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

But instead of resting, he focused all his attention on his surroundings.

He wanted to see if that yoga-pants beauty would come after him again.
