Just as he was about to turn around, Lin Qi stopped him, "No need. We've finished what we were doing here, and we've obtained and copied all the necessary documents. We don't need Chairman Jian's cooperation for now. We'll go back and handle our official business first. If we need your cooperation, we'll contact you later."

Seeing this, the secretary didn't say much and could only nod.

Seeing her secretary nod, Lin Qi led her subordinates away.

Once the person had walked away, the secretary turned and headed towards the office.

"Chairman, Lin Ke has already left," the secretary said respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Jian Mingpeng's face instantly turned displeased. "Didn't I tell you to come and call me?"

Upon hearing this, the secretary's heart tightened, and she quickly explained, "I spoke to Lin Ke, but he said it wasn't necessary, so she left first."

Upon hearing his secretary's explanation, Jian Mingpeng became even more dissatisfied with Lin Qidi's attitude, but he didn't say anything more.

Thinking of something, he looked up at his secretary and said, "Have the finance director come over here."

The secretary nodded and then left the office.

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw the CFO coming out of the conference room. "The chairman is looking for you."

The CFO's nerves, which had just relaxed, immediately tensed up. Unsure of what was going on, he cautiously asked, "Secretary Chen, the Chairman wants to see me..."

The secretary immediately knew what the CFO was asking, but he was also confused. "You'll find out when you go in," he said.

The finance director, who was interrupted, was taken aback. After thinking for a moment, he realized he had no other choice, so he gritted his teeth and knocked on the office door.

"Enter."

Jian Mingpeng had no interest in handling official business to begin with, and immediately spoke up when he heard the knock on the door.

The finance director at the door was somewhat surprised that Jian Mingpeng had replied to him so quickly, but he also knew that this was not the time to lament about such things.

He took a deep breath, exhaled, and pushed open the door to enter.

Jian Mingpeng stared at the person in front of him with a gloomy gaze. "Are there any loopholes?"

The CFO stood in front of his desk. "There shouldn't be any problems; there shouldn't be any issues with the books."

As for other matters, it's hard to say if the government departments received the information from elsewhere.

After all, with the internet so developed these days, he couldn't guarantee anything.

Having been in the business world for many years, Jian Mingpeng naturally understood the meaning behind the CFO's words.

To be honest, he wasn't sure exactly how much Jian Yixue had found out.

That's why they were afraid, and that's why they sent the CFO over.

Seeing that he did not get the answer he wanted, Jian Mingpeng's face remained as grim as ever.

"You can go out now."

Upon hearing this, the CFO felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly turned to leave, fearing that if he hesitated even a little longer, the chairman would keep him behind for further questioning.

He had already exhausted his mental energy dealing with the tax authorities' questioning, and he couldn't really guarantee anything about the chairman's questions, so he became even more afraid of Jian Mingpeng's questions.

As a long-time employee of Jane's, he joined the company at its inception.

His rise through the ranks inevitably involved handling some shady dealings for Jian Mingpeng, and the tax evasion exposed today is not uncommon in modern enterprises; it's just a matter of degree.

Moreover, major companies have a blatant explanation for this – that is, legal tax avoidance.

If it hadn't been exposed, everything would have been fine.

Once exposed, it will be extremely difficult to resolve this matter superficially.

Therefore, he did not dare to make a promise when facing Jian Mingpeng.

He feared that losing his job would be a minor issue; if it ruined his future in the industry, the consequences would be far more serious.

He has been working in this industry for over twenty years and is no longer a young man. He doesn't need to stand out in front of the chairman to gain attention; all he wants is stability.

After all, even after leaving Jane's, there were plenty of companies that wanted him.

He couldn't let Jane ruin his family's future; it wasn't worth it!

Jian Mingpeng watched the CFO leave the office before lowering his head to pick up his phone and continue dialing Jian Yixue's number.

I dialed many times, but still couldn't get through.

Jian Mingpeng was furious and picked up his phone to smash it, but then he remembered his current situation and held back.

Just then, the secretary walked in.

"Chairman, the shareholders heard you've come to the company and are now waiting to see you in the conference room," the secretary said respectfully.

Jian Mingpeng was already furious when he saw this, and hearing these words was like adding fuel to the fire.

But he had no reason to let himself lose his temper. "Tell them I'll be there in a bit."

"Yes, Chairman."

He then left the room.

Upon seeing this, Jian Mingpeng slowly closed his eyes, rubbed his aching temples, and then composed himself before leaving the office.

He knew that the shareholders had been extremely dissatisfied with him for some time.

How could we possibly miss such a great opportunity!

How could he possibly let them push him out of office as they wished!

He has painstakingly maintained his hard work for decades; how could he tolerate others taking it away!

Jianjia Villa

After Jian Mingpeng left, Qiao Yaxiang remembered that she had previously entrusted the mysterious person to kill Jian Yixue. Since everything that happened at the Jian family today was done by Jian Yixue, it meant that the other party had not yet succeeded.

I was a little anxious for a moment.

She was afraid that Jian Yixue would ruin the Jian family business and cause her to lose everything she had.

Qiao Yaxiang became more and more frightened as she thought about it; she couldn't just stand by and watch all of this happen.

Qiao Yaxiang picked up the phone next to her and dialed.

The phone rang for a long time before being answered, and Qiao Yaxiang was a little afraid of upsetting the other party.

After all, the other party's fee was not high, and she forgot to ask how long it would take to resolve.

Seeing that her abrupt contact might displease the other party, Qiao Yaxiang asked cautiously.

"Hello. We met not long ago, do you remember me?"

"Yes, Mrs. Jane." A male voice, different from the previous one, came from the other end of the phone.

Qiao Yaxiang was a little confused, but when she thought that the other party knew her identity, she realized that the other party was from the previous side, but she didn't know who it was.

Seeing this, Qiao Yaxiang continued, "Hello, I've already transferred the money. Did you receive it?"

"Um."

A lukewarm voice came through.

Qiao Yaxiang couldn't tell what the other person was feeling, and she felt a little uneasy.

But considering his situation, he gritted his teeth and asked, "The matter I entrusted to you..."

"Don't rush. You know who's behind that woman. This matter needs to be planned slowly."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yaxiang was quite dissatisfied with the other party's slow pace of action.

She had made it very clear back then, and explicitly told the other party about Jian Yixue's identity and background. Now that she has received the money, she is telling her this.

Qiao Yaxiang was very dissatisfied, but her words contradicted her feelings.
