Chapter 73: 30 Minutes Later
73 30 Minutes Later
Thursday, continued ...
Thirty minutes after the Immigration Officials left Hou Yi's office, satisfied that he and Anna Jones were married, and therefore she had the right to stay and work, they all arrived back in their sections within the local immigration department office..
One official, had the task of going into his superior's office, and telling him that he has failed at the task he had been given.On walking in, he looked directly at Officer Yang Meghwa, realising that he was not going to be able to give a satisfactory explanation.
"Where is that Laptop?Which cell is that girl in?"Yang Meghwa demanded.
"Supervisor Yang …"
"Answer my questions, now!" Yang Meghwa demanded even more firmly.
"I have to apologise to Supervisor Yang, but the woman you wanted me to report on being locked up was not able to be detained, and I was unable to get a hold of her laptop."
"What!" Yang Meghwa screamed."You had one task to ensure happened and failed."
"This lowly worker has to apologise to Supervisor Yang, in failing in the tasks that he was given.The woman in question was able to satisfy the team leader on this raid from he section in charge that she had a valid right to be in the country and work.I saw none of the documentation that confirmed this, but observed some evidence that wold support the conclusion from the team leader.I tried everything to get a hold of that laptop but was unsuccessful.My apologies Supervisor Yang."
"Just get out of here." Yang Meghwa demanded.As his subordinate failed to get the laptop, he believed he needed to speak to the team leader on the raid, to see what other information he could find, before reporting to his cousin and her husband another failure to get a hold of that laptop.
Yang Meghwa, walked along the corridor to and entered a new section.He asked "I was just wondering who was the team leader for the group that went to Hou Enterprises, about that report of a woman working illegally, who was the same person we had a report about being illegally in the country?I need a little information to finalise our file."
A man stood up from a desk in the back of the room "That would be me Supervisor Yang.I have given a report to my supervisor, and he was taking it up the chain, and I believe both matters were going to be rolled together, and finalised based on the report."
"That is all well and good, until that request comes down to me, I have to work to finalise our file.All my subordinate was able to tell me was that you reviewed the documentation and were satisfied that this woman not only had the right to remain in country, but the right to work.What was that evidence?"
"Supervisor Yang, my supervisor has agreed that that information cannot specifically be disclosed.There are a number of reasons for this, including the woman's occupation and identity.I am able to confirm that the documentary evidence was confirmed and the woman in question had the right to remain in country and work.Additionally, this was verified due to other observations that I made.My supervisor has directed that any additional queries have to be directed to him."
"Fine", snapped Yang Meghwa, and he stormed, returning to his office.He realised that he was not going to get anything more at this time due to the games being played.It may take a few days to get the information, though other means, but he had to tell Yang Lin and Lu JInhu, that there was another failure to secure that laptop.
Yang Meghwa, located his mobile phone and his cigarettes, and called out to his staff, "I need to have a cigarette break."With that he hurried outside and found a location to have a quick few puffs of his cigarette.
Once he did this, he located Lu Jinhu's mobile number, as he knew that he would be more reasonable to deal with and dialled.Lu Jinhu answered within 3 rings, sawing "Yang Meghwa, tell me you have that laptop."
"Lu Jinhu, I am sorry to report to you and my cousin I failed.Your tip as to her location came in about 10 minutes after a tip from a Lawyer Mei at Hou Enterprises, stating that this Anna Jones was illegally working in county.As another section deals with those, they were given the case to run, the best that I could do was get someone on the team."
He paused briefly then continued "Somehow, she apparently convinced the team leader of the raid that she had the right to remain in country and to work.All I know if that that team leader saw satisfactory evidence to prove this, but I cannot get access to any of that information at present.I will try in a few days, when information will be within IT systems, but that is the best that I can do at the moment."
"F**k.We needed that damn laptop urgently.Somehow that b**tard Hou Yi, has satisfied his father and grandfather and is keeping the company.We need it now.However the laptop is the key to get millions from Hou Enterprises, and deal with the b**ch I had to cosy up to for years.Keep me updated as to what you can find out, even if all it is, is where she is located."
"Apologies Lu Jinhu, I will keep trying."With that Yang Meghwa ended the call, and returned into his office to continue with his work.
Lu Jinhu, walked over to Yang Lin and gently woke her up."Did Yang Meghwa get that laptop for us?Is that w**re in a cell?"
Lu Jinhu, braced himself for Yang Lin's reaction that he knew was coming "Sorry honey, no he did not get the laptop and she somehow convinced other immigration officials that she has the right to remain in country and work."
