Tina found it strange how many of the properties were shuffled between LLCs linked to Guojun and named after combinations of letters in the alphabet.
ABCD, EFG, KLMN, that sort of thing.

He called it collusion.
Tina and her colleagues had to sneak around just to grab lunch.
Multiple people told me Guojun was a controlling, paranoid boss.
