Chapter 173: Power has boundaries

In the park outside the engineering department late at night, the sultry rain in August was falling. The dark clouds like ink covered all the nebula. In the darkness, the car headlights washed by the rain column seemed a little dazzling. Xu Le looked at the official under the umbrella and narrowed his eyes. He knew that the matter of helping the engineering department had finally leaked, but he was a little puzzled. Whether the other party wanted to deal with him or wanted to grab the fruit again, no matter which one it was, it was not the turn of the big man under the umbrella to come to Hong Kong in person.

Guokel Motor Company is a technology-first federal giant enterprise. Under the supervision of the board of directors, the engineering and technical personnel really constitute the skeleton of this company. Xu Le is also one of the engineering and technical personnel, but he is just a small third-level technical supervisor, while the official under the umbrella is the chief technical consultant of Guokel Motor Company.

The chief technical consultant automatically becomes a technical independent director of the Guokr board of directors. With Guokr's position in the federal government, any member of the board of directors has great power and status.

After saying the words just now, the director of the fruit shell technology under the umbrella replied silently, waiting for his answer through the glasses. At this time, the rain became heavier and heavier, stretched past the black umbrella above his head, and splashed the stars of water onto the lenses. However, the big man didn't care about wiping it, just looking at Xu Le, wondering if this young man with an important identity would resist.

Surrounded by Baishui Company guards wearing black rainproof combat uniforms, Xu Le knew that these people were mercenaries who killed people without blinking or special forces soldiers transferred to the military for internship. Even if he had confidence in himself and Magnolia, he had never thought of resisting because these black-clad guards were holding spears tightly in their hands.

At this moment, an umbrella came to Xu Le's head, covering the rain falling from the sky. Xu Le looked back and saw Secretary Bai standing behind him. At some point, this person turned from an umbrella around him like a magician.

The rainy night was dark and wet, and the industrial park was quiet and clear, and only the area with car headlights was still confronting. The number of people on both sides was too different, so the confrontation seemed to be about to end. However, as soon as the umbrella appeared, only the independent director and Xu Le were not in danger of wind and rain, and subtly turned the atmosphere between the venue.

Xu Le looked at things with a sharp and sharp look that was completely inconsistent with his sincere appearance. From being stopped by the level to the appearance of this independent director, he quickly analyzed the situation and confirmed that the other party probably knew his background, so he did not dare to use force automatically, but the other party would definitely try his best to isolate himself from the Engineering Department to ensure that the Federal Academy of Sciences successfully develop mx first.

He wiped the rain from his face, stared at the director's glasses, and said, "I don't understand what confidentiality regulations I have violated? No need to explain anything. You are a big man and I am a little honored to come here specifically for me, but I think you should also know that I now have long-term authority in the Engineering Department."

It seemed as if he wanted to add momentum to Xu Le's rebuttal. The white magnolia, who had been holding an umbrella behind him and lowering her head slightly, raised her head and swept coldly to the surrounding Baishui Company guards. Her eyes were calm and quiet, but there was a coldness that was suppressed to the extreme.

Director Jose was soaked all over. He looked at the tension between the court and took a deep breath, calmed down his anger, turned his head and looked at the director and said in a deep voice: "I personally approved Xu Le's long-term authority. What's the problem?"

"No problem." The director's face was slightly dark, and he accused him bluntly: "You should know where your approval authority is! Are there any rules for doing things? Is there still a board of directors in your eyes?"

Guoke is a giant enterprise with many departments under it. Important territories like the Engineering Department naturally have a different position. If we were compared to ancient dynasties, Jose was like a prince. However, the independent technical director from the board of directors was like an imperial envoy. Unless the Engineering Department dared to rebel, he would not be able to confront the board of directors in terms of power or qualifications. Therefore, this director would speak in a tone of reprimanding and did not leave any face to Jose. In fact, by this tense state tonight, the disputes within Guoke Company had begun to come to the forefront.

Zhou Yu raised the umbrella and covered the head of Director Jose. He looked at Xu Le with concern. Xu Le shook his head and signaled that there was no problem.

After calming down for a moment, Director Jose said to the big man: "This is not a research institute, but an engineering department. According to the board of directors, I have the qualifications to approve the authority. If you have any objections to my qualifications, you can raise it at the board of directors, but don't make things difficult for our staff."

"Xu Le is not a staff member of the Engineering Department. It was not before, not today, and not in the future." The director said with a calm face: "You have the qualifications to approve the authority, but don't forget that Xu Le is in contact with the top secret federal mx. According to the confidentiality level, these approval authority are all in the company headquarters. I don't remember when the board of directors gave you the power to make decisions on its own."

His next sentence directly shattered Jose's idea of ​​protecting Xu Le.

"The board of directors' emergency meeting has temporarily deprived you of your approval authority. All new employees who have contacted MX within the past two months will be brought back for review. This is the decision of the board of directors. If you object, please keep it yourself."

This is a very fatal problem. If the Guoke board of directors really makes such a resolution, then Xu Le's entry authority will be illegal. The other party can review him in the name of violating the company regulations, and can even bring him to court on the charge of accessing federal confidential data.

After saying this, the director ignored the silent supervisor Jose, walked two steps forward to the car's big lanterns, looked at Xu Leping and said, "Follow us, you know I won't make things difficult for you, but you need to rest somewhere else during this period."

Xu Le shook his head. After the Hushan Road incident, the big figures in the Federation knew about their relationship with the Tai family. Of course, they did not dare to kill themselves casually, but if they resisted, they could find a suitable reason. If they did not resist, they could take themselves away and forcefully delay the development of the engineering department's mecha.

He just didn't understand why the other party was obviously an independent director of Guokr Company, but he wanted to harm the interests of the company and stand on the side of those people.

"You are just a director of Guoke and you don't care about me." Xu Le took out the ID from his shirt pocket and handed it to the director, saying: "This is my ID, which is marked with the duplicate authority of the Ministry of Defense's final assembly base."

"Unless the Secretary of Defense personally issues a military order, no one will stop me from entering the Engineering Department tonight."
