Upon hearing this, Ji Xingguo's expression turned serious.

He had lived an upright and honest life, and never imagined that such despicable and underhanded tactics could be used in the business world.

A cold glint flashed in Ji Wanmei's eyes: "If I'm not mistaken, the representatives of the two foreign companies that Yang Zhiping brought in have already been bribed by him. And his current goal is to find a way to persuade you to agree to give up more than 50% of the shares."

"Because at present, you are the highest leader of the Oriental Factory. You are the only one who can sign this foreign merger application and submit it to the higher authorities for approval."

Ji Xingguo slammed his hand on the table and cursed, "Damn it! The Yang family father and son are wolves in sheep's clothing, embezzling state-owned assets. They are truly despicable!"

Only then did Ji Xingguo take out the financial statements for raw material purchase approval that she and Zhu Shuangyan had retrieved together that day from her bag and hand them to him.

“What’s even more hateful is this. Look at this,” she said.

Ji Xingguo took the financial approval form, and upon reading it, his face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

These quotations are all far higher than the prices at the source of the raw materials previously purchased, and the factory's production lines currently do not need such a large quantity of these two materials.

These orders add up to several hundred thousand.

Furthermore, none of these approval forms bear Ji Xingguo's signature; the signatures and seals were all affixed by Yang Changhua.

Yang Changhua's position in the factory was second only to Ji Xingguo. Important approval documents and financial reports, after being reviewed and stamped by the finance department and his subordinates, would be taken to him for his review and signature.

However, these documents did not bear Ji Xingguo's signature; instead, they were signed by Yang Changhua on his behalf.

As the deputy factory director, one has the right to sign on behalf of the factory director when the factory director is away on business trips or other official business.

Ji Xingguo looked at the date on the signature. It was two years ago, when Ji Xingguo had just learned that Ji Wanmei and Lei Tingjun were together. He took three days off for the first time ever to go to East China to find Ji Wanmei and entrusted the factory affairs to Yang Changhua.

In those short three or four days, Yang Changhua, who was usually low-key and cautious, quickly took advantage of the opportunity and, without anyone noticing, used the pretext of purchasing raw materials to embezzle hundreds of thousands of yuan from the factory.
