"Dear Mr. Charlie, I have successfully joined Xinghai Biopharmaceuticals. The company's owner has shown me tremendous regard and welcomed me warmly. He even hinted at information about Enhanced Dogs to demonstrate his capabilities and win me over.
"However, I am a newcomer, after all, and Star Sea Biotech's owner seems to have taken precautions against espionage already. I'm afraid it will take a long time to earn his trust before I can truly access core company secrets like this.
"But as you know, I have long been impatient to get my hands on the 'miracle drug.' This tedious expenditure of time is nothing short of wasting my life. You should not make a top medicinal chemist waste his time on such underhanded business. I hope there are faster methods available.
"Star Sea Biotech is only wary of me because of the enormous profits its confidential technology represents. If I can demonstrate sufficient value and bring them enormous profits myself, the basis for that wariness will no longer hold. This will greatly reduce the obstacles to my work.
"So I need some results impressive enough to win them over.
"It would be difficult for me to achieve anything of that sort on my own in a short time, so I hope you can provide some existing, unpublished technology as bait..."
Three days after Star Sea Biotech's recruitment drive ended, Charlie at Carroll Pharmaceuticals' Xia Kingdom Branch received Feng Wenbin's first intelligence report-or rather, his mission update.
After reading the encrypted email, Charlie's face turned so dark that one could not help questioning his mother's fidelity to her marriage.
I sent you there to gather intelligence and steal technology, and you haven't even caught a glimpse of their technology, yet you're asking me for technology to give Star Sea Biotech for free?
