Ye Linchen, of course, would not answer Meng Zihan's question.
She looked at Meng Zihan's flustered face as if she were watching a clumsy clown on a stage.
But she didn't mind taking this opportunity to drive the nail even deeper into Meng Zihan's heart, so that Meng Zihan's pitiful, easily punctured vanity would completely deflate.
Ideally, she should feel uneasy whenever she thinks of him, and never dare to come near him again.
If we could also cause her some trouble and make things difficult for her backyard, that would be even better.
Ye Linchen leaned back, looking at her with interest, the smile on his lips unchanged.
"If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. Meng Zihan, do you really think that no one knows about your little scandal? Anyone with a discerning eye can see the trickery in there."
She spoke calmly, but Meng Zihan was in turmoil.
"Something fishy? What kind of fishy thing?" she asked in a daze.
Ye Linchen turned his gaze to her splendid outfit.
"Is that company really yours?" Ye Linchen asked the first question.
Meng Zihan was taken aback, but immediately retorted, "Of course it's mine! I, Meng Zihan, am the legal representative!"
"Is that so?" Ye Linchen smiled with pity. "Who the legal representative is isn't important; what's important is who's in charge. Do you even know what kind of business the company is currently doing, what accounts it's using, where the money comes from, and where it goes?"
These questions, one after another, precisely targeted Meng Zihan's most vulnerable spot.
These things were not found out by Ye Linchen himself, but by Gu Jingran's assistant.
Whether it was Meng Zihan's previous shell company or this so-called clothing brand now, the accounts were a mess, with several large sums of money coming in and going out that didn't match the clothing business at all.
More importantly, aside from holding the title of "boss" and occasionally visiting the company to issue orders and scold people, Meng Zihan's actual operations, procurement channels, and financial transactions were almost entirely controlled by her assistant, Linda.
Meng Zihan receives a considerable "bonus" from the company every month, which is enough to satisfy her. She thinks she has become a powerful woman who can turn the tide at will. She knows nothing about the truly critical things in the company and doesn't care at all.
She was an empty puppet pushed to the forefront, a tool that could be used to take the blame at any time, yet she herself was kept in the dark, truly believing that she had risen to the top and become an extraordinary person.
There's another reason why Ye Linchen chose to break the ice today.
Ye Linnan and Ye Linbei were determined to get into the University of Political Science and Law.
Meng Zihan is their cousin. If she gets arrested for money laundering and smuggling, it will leave a stain on her record. Who knows how that might affect their future during the political review?
Ye Linchen could sever all ties with the Ye family, but she couldn't abandon her two younger brothers who genuinely cared for her.
So, the purpose of waking Meng Zihan up now is twofold: first, to make her panic and go back to check the accounts, so that she'll fight back against the people behind her, and then she won't have the energy to bother me anymore.
Secondly, it can be considered as defusing potential problems in advance.
If Meng Zihan has any sense and can extricate herself in time, it will prevent her younger brothers from being implicated in the future.
Meng Zihan had never actually done business in either of his two lives, so he hadn't thought about it that way.
She only understood the doubt in Ye Linchen's words, which made her feel that her dignity had been trampled on.
"What do you mean?!" she demanded loudly. "If I don't call the shots at my company, who does? I built it up from scratch. It makes the most fashionable clothes, the brand is named after me, and I'm the designer myself. How could I not know? You're just a frog in a well, you don't understand anything, and you dare to question me?"
"Really?" Ye Linchen looked at her, his gaze amused.
For some reason, when Meng Zihan looked into Ye Linchen's eyes, which seemed to know everything, her arrogance inexplicably diminished.
she……
He really doesn't care much about company affairs.
She hated looking at those densely packed reports and couldn't be bothered to deal with those unsophisticated factory owners.
She felt those were beneath her dignity, things her subordinates should do.
Her job was simply to dress herself up beautifully, act as the company's living advertisement, and then wait to count the money.
By the way, this "new product" was Linda's own idea. She said it was "factory goods" that she found through a new channel. She said it had new styles, low prices, and high profits.
Could there be something wrong with that batch of goods?
Could it be that Linda is so bold as to dare to engage in illegal activities behind my back under the guise of purchasing goods?
smuggling?
Or is it something else that can't be brought to light?
The more Meng Zihan thought about it, the faster her heart beat, and cold sweat poured down her back.
Moreover, Linda is indeed spending money more and more extravagantly; she just bought the latest Motorola pager, saying it's for easier business communication.
Looking back now, there are suspicious points everywhere!
It must be Linda, using her company as a front to do shady things behind the scenes!
Meng Zihan immediately lost her balance, her legs went weak.
no!
She has to go back right away!
She needs to go to the company, check the accounts, and ask Linda what exactly happened!
This company is her only hope, her source of pride, and she absolutely cannot let Linda ruin it!
With that thought in mind, she no longer cared about competing with Ye Linchen; all she could think about was ensuring that nothing happened to her company.
She turned to leave, but her high heels tripped on the ground, and she almost twisted her ankle.
Before leaving in a disheveled state, she turned around and hurled a harsh remark at Ye Linchen in the car.
"Ye Linchen, don't be so smug! Just you wait, I will definitely become stronger than you and live a hundred times better life than you! Then, you'll have your day!"
The threat was dry and lacked any real force. Ye Linchen blinked with amusement and added with "concern."
"Stop talking tough. Instead, think about how to investigate your company thoroughly and clean up that mess. Don't wait until the next time I want to see you, I have to visit you through a glass window in prison."
The words "prison visit" sent a shiver down Meng Zihan's spine.
She opened her mouth, wanting to yell "You're talking nonsense," but it felt like something was blocking her throat, and she couldn't utter a single word.
After a long pause, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth: "You, you just wait!"
After saying that, she rushed to the roadside and frantically waved at a taxi.
Before the car had even come to a complete stop, she opened the door and climbed inside.
"To the airport! Hurry!" Meng Zihan said urgently without thinking.
The car sped away, leaving only a plume of black smoke.
