Continuing my bizarre experiences under the boss
Is everyone still grinding in Alpha?

I was taken to Shunyi Academy in Beijing.
The academy still looks as desolate as ever, but the atmosphere behind the iron gate is even more severe. The boss stands in the center of the training ground, surrounded by several unfamiliar faces, including well-dressed businessmen and security personnel with sharp eyes.
I was taken to a basement, with concrete walls on all sides and no windows.
The boss got straight to the point: "The materials you sent almost ruined a big deal." He picked up a stack of photos from the table and threw them in front of me. The photos included screenshots of me checking accounts in Nanjing, as well as a few images of me secretly recording audio in a villa in Shenzhen.
My heart sank; he had been watching me for a long time. "Do you want to know who I am?" The boss lit a cigarette, his tone calm, "Alright, I’ll tell you. In the 90s, I was in the military managing logistics, built half of the border military industrial line, praised for my capabilities above and respected below. Unfortunately, this world doesn't let good people live; someone wanted to take me down, so I had to retire. After retiring, I didn’t sit idle; I set up a stage for everyone to continue performing."
He paused, his gaze sharp as a knife: "Do you think the money from the resort is what I want? That’s just a dumpling; the people above have to be full before there’s a path for those below. You broke the rules; the one who suffers is not me, but the entire chain."
From the boss's words, I pieced together his full image. His name is Zhang Peng, alias Zhang Zhiguo, enlisted in the 70s, rose to prominence in the logistics department of the military region in the 90s, securing multiple military contracts through solid business skills and 'connections,' accumulating his first pot of gold.
However, in the early 2000s, the military's anti-corruption campaign tightened, and he was reported for misappropriating military funds, nearly ending up in prison.
At a critical moment, he "landed safely" through high-level connections, transitioned to the business world after retirement, and established a security company called "Hua'an International," which superficially provides high-end security services but actually serves as a cover for his power dealings.
