Chapter 1487: Clear Water, No Fish

"Dad, you're back. Oh, Dad, you drank again. You stink. It's killing me."

When Li Ye returned home, his daughter Xiaodouer rushed over to be intimate with him, but just as she hugged his legs, she covered her nose in disgust and backed away.

Li Ye suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"I'm going to take a shower, haha!"

In his previous life, Li Ye watched a video of a street poll.

The investigator stopped a strange girl on the street and asked her: When your husband is drunk late at night, do you give him a cold shoulder?

Eighty percent of the women said they would not treat their husbands well, and 20 percent of them would even "lock him out or not let him go to bed to make him sober up."

Only 20% made other choices, of which 10% said they "fully understood the difficulties men face" and would take good care of him and love him.

As for the other 10%, everyone is playing their own games, and I will still smile even if you die outside.

Li Ye didn't know what answer he would get to a similar question in the 1990s, but his young wife Wen Leyu was undoubtedly the 10% who "cared for him and took care of him."

Li Ye drank a little more than a bottle today. Although he was not drunk, his body was full of strong alcohol smell, which drove away his most clingy daughter.

But Wen Leyu didn't dislike him at all. Not only did she quickly get him pajamas, she also went to the bathroom to rub his back.

When the bathroom mist blurred the mirror, Wen Leyu asked carefully, "What happened today? You haven't drunk so much in a long time."

Li Ye sighed, told Wen Leyu what happened today, and then said helplessly: "Xiao Yu, do you think you can blame me for this?"

"It's not your fault, but it is your fault."

The young wife smiled lightly and said, "Although it was Professor Zhang who took a fancy to you, and it wasn't you who took the initiative to snatch Peng Rui's opportunity, he doesn't know it!

You ask him to help check the false invoices. Although he is responsible for the business, if the situation is finally confirmed, you have a much greater chance of showing up than him.

If you are not envied, you are mediocre. Since ancient times, there has been only one way to reach the top. When there is only one opportunity, the most outstanding person will become the target of everyone's criticism. Who made my husband the most capable?

Li Ye's checking of invoices was just the beginning. He would definitely uncover the dirty deeds of Jin Hong and his gang later. Once successful, he would definitely attract more attention from above. Peng Rui only investigated a "small case", so naturally he would not make as much money as Li Ye.

Li Ye thought about it and it made sense, but he still said, "That's not entirely true! At least Senior Sister Yu doesn't intend to regard me as a rival."

Wen Leyu narrowed her eyes and smiled, "That's because Senior Sister Yu knew she had no talent in this area, so she focused her work on other aspects. Of course, her mindset is different."

"Senior Sister Yu has no talent?"

Li Ye thought about how Yu Xiufen was indecisive in real estate speculation but adept at administration, so he believed Wen Leyu's words.

But Wen Leyu continued, "You said Senior Sister Yu wants to take care of your invoice?"

Li Ye nodded and said, "Yes, I wanted to clarify some things at the time, so I told her the reason for going to Peng Rui's house, and Senior Sister took care of it without hesitation."

Wen Leyu pouted and said, "Your senior sister is so enthusiastic about you, but you really want to trouble her? Why would you ask an outsider for this kind of thing? Really, what's the point of having a wife at home?"

"Yes, yes, I was wrong. Next time I have something to ask my wife first."

In fact, the relationship between people will become indifferent after a long period of no entanglement. Li Ye thought that Peng Rui helped him this time, and he would have the chance to help him again next time. Only by giving and taking can a good relationship between them be maintained. But now it seems that he was wrong.

. . . . . . . . .

In the next few days, Li Ye waited patiently for the situation from Yu Xiufen. During this period, Cong Jinhong repeatedly asked Li Ye to sign to "repay the money", but Li Ye refused on the grounds that "the facts were unclear."

Anyway, everyone knows what's going on with the 30% premium. The harder you push Jinhong, the uglier it will look.

Jin Hong must understand this principle, but once human desire is completely ignited, it will be difficult to extinguish.

On the second Monday, Cong Jinhong finally couldn't help but use his ultimate move.

First, a large amount of building materials arrived at the site late at night and were piled up in a mess on the construction site. Then Shang Bin called a meeting of the backbone members of the group, and Cong Jinhong threw out a "lawyer's letter" from the supplier at the meeting.

"Our Jingnan Group is a well-known large state-owned enterprise, and now we are being sued in court.

The contract with the group's official seal can't be fulfilled, and the construction materials we bought are being reneged on. We held so many meetings for the office building project, but all the plans and agreements are now void."

Cong Jinhong used the most intense words and made the strongest accusation, directly pointing the finger at Li Ye.

Li Ye picked up the "lawyer's letter" slowly and found that it was just a notice. After all, lawyer's letters were not popular in mainland China these days.

The other party seriously informed Jingnan Group that if it failed to perform the transaction in accordance with the contract, it would take Jingnan Group to court and all consequences would be borne by Jingnan Group.

Li Ye couldn't help laughing when he saw that the notice was signed with the official sales seal.

[Are all salespeople these days so wild?]

Shang Bin saw Li Ye laughing, so he asked calmly, "Deputy General Manager Li, what do you think about this?"

Li Ye replied immediately: "I don't have any opinion, because when this contract was signed, I was studying at D School. Since I don't know the inside story, of course I have no right to speak."

Cong Jinhong said coldly, "Li Ye, since you don't know the inside story, why are you blocking this contract? You promised the group leaders that you would fully support the office building project. So, where is your support now?"

Li Ye glanced at Cong Jinhong and said coldly: "Team Leader Cong, the group has already paid millions of dollars in site fees, but the project has not started. Shouldn't I have an objection?

Since construction hasn't started yet, why are they rushing to purchase so many building materials? Shouldn't I have objections? Also, look at these invoices. For the same shipment, there's an invoice from a trading company and an invoice from the manufacturer. Haven't you considered the possibility of tax evasion?"

Cong Jinhong was stunned for a moment, then stiffened her neck and said, "Li Ye, do you understand? This kind of situation is very common. Besides, even if it's tax evasion, what does it have to do with us?"

Minister Xun, who was in charge of infrastructure, chimed in, "Yes, Deputy General Manager Li, it's not uncommon to have to make up invoices. As long as the total amount of the invoices matches, it doesn't matter who issued them."

Li Ye knew that the invoice situation in the 1990s was not very standardized. Many times, when you bought cement, people would find a way to issue you an invoice for wood. As long as it could be used to offset taxes, they would generally turn a blind eye.

But Li Ye didn't expect that a large organization like Jingnan Group could tolerate such a messy situation.

Seeing Li Ye remained silent, Shang Bin immediately seized the opportunity and said, "Everyone, please express your opinions! Ever since we started planning the construction of this office building, there have been many twists and turns. We can't keep going on like this."

"I agree with the team leader's opinion. We must speed up the project progress."

“I think it’s better to be cautious.”

"I reserve my opinion!"

“.”

Everyone expressed their opinions, and since many people reserved their opinions, it seemed that Jin Hong had the upper hand.

Cong Jinhong immediately struck while the iron was hot and said, "Comrade Li Ye's concerns are not without reason, but if there is a problem with the invoice, I will bear the responsibility."

[Okay, I've been waiting for you to say this.]

Li Ye looked at Cong Jinhong with a smile, like a clever hunter who finally locked onto the cunning fox.

Cong Jinhong didn't know what Li Ye was thinking. She just felt happy from the bottom of her heart that she finally won a game against Li Ye.

That afternoon, the financial officer, Mr. Yang, finally allocated a sum of money to Cong Jinqi's trading company.

Cong Jinqi called Cong Jinhong and said, "Sister, the money has arrived. I have already paid off part of my debt, and I will use the rest for future purchases. We are expected to make a profit this year."

Cong Jinhong interrupted, "You don't need to say this on the phone. Just keep it to yourself."

"Okay, okay."

Jinhong felt even happier.

"You're still young after all. You don't know that when the water is too clear, there are no fish. You're blocking my path to wealth today. How will others get rich in the future? You idiot!"

However, Cong Jinhong was only happy for two days before she received a call from her younger brother Cong Jinqi.

"What did you say? You want us to pay 30% of the payment? Didn't we pay them a long time ago?"

"Fulfill the contract? If we fulfill the contract, what will we earn? Is this so unruly?"
