Jin Ye'an was in turmoil after hanging up the phone.
I knew the small business owner was wealthy, but I never imagined he was this wealthy.
The company donated 200 million yuan in the name of its employees in the blink of an eye. And that's just what the small business owner said; who knows how much more was donated without his knowledge.
When Jin Ye'an saw the trending topic of 100 million again, she felt extremely ironic.
The tax audit wouldn't be over anytime soon, and Shi Jing knew there was no rush. Fortunately, her business dealings in Dingdu over the years were genuine. Although she didn't know how the other party had managed to block the news, she trusted that the tax bureau would never falsify anything in this matter.
This matter is indeed a bit troublesome. After all, once tax evasion is confirmed, regardless of whether the company is also a victim, the public's first reaction is that the employees did what the company instructed them to do.
This is something that Shi Jing himself cannot change.
While she cannot change the public's preconceived notions, she does have more direct evidence.
Over the years, the amount she has donated to charity is no less than the amount of taxes she has paid.
She knew that charitable donations could be tax-deductible, but over the years, she had never even considered doing so.
This is now a key piece of evidence that she has turned around the company's image.
After encountering a series of troubles, Shi Jing almost felt that he had used up too much good luck in the past period of time, which was why he was now facing a backlash.
Sensing the thoughts in Shi Jing's mind, the Little God of Wealth scoffed disdainfully: "Do you know how dangerous a car accident on the highway is? At that speed, the fact that you all survived, you don't really think it's all thanks to the driver, do you?"
Hey little God of Wealth, don't take this too seriously, I was just venting. Of course I believe you!
When faced with a powerful patron, Shi Jing has always been able to bend and stretch.
The little god of wealth then stopped grumbling and ignored her.
Shi Jing wasn't worried about the tax matters; she was more concerned about the finance manager.
No one knows the financial situation of their own company better than the person in charge of finances. Shijing Company's financial status is subject to regular audits, meaning that any problems could only arise in the accounts for the most recent period.
However, completely destroying a company is unrealistic. So why did she do it?
Shi Jing wasn't a particularly kind person; since the other party dared to break the law, they naturally had to bear the consequences.
However, the reason she did this, and whether this person is currently safe, are also very important. This person may still possess some evidence.
After confirming that he could not contact the person in charge of finance, Shi Jing ordered Miao Chen to call the police immediately.
The report was not filed on the grounds of disappearance, but on the grounds that the other party was suspected of concealing and falsifying false accounts and had now fled.

Zhang Sumu was very efficient. Upon receiving Shi Jing's call, he immediately arranged for someone to compile the charitable donation records and details of how the funds were used by the two artists and send them to Jin Ye'an.
Moreover, after realizing that the company seemed to be targeted, he became even more focused on the rigor of its finances.
Jin Ye'an first reassured the two artists, informing them that both companies would soon issue a clarification. She then contacted the public relations team to review and examine all the materials sent by Zhang Sumu.
After careful selection, they chose several representative photos showing donations and their use as clarification images, directly issuing a statement on behalf of the two artists in the company's name. The artists then reposted the statement on their Weibo accounts.
The Fortune Brokerage Company reacted very quickly; within two hours of the incident trending on social media, they had already issued a clarification statement.
The clarification first stated that the artist's taxes are paid by the company, and the artist only receives their after-tax salary. This statement directly refuted the rumors of the artist evading taxes. Subsequently, they did not shy away from the issue of accounting problems within the company, stating that the issues are currently under investigation and the company is actively cooperating. Any problems will be addressed and announced immediately.
This clarification post quickly attracted a great deal of attention.
This was the peak of the event, and almost everyone who followed the entertainment industry was paying attention to its development. Xiang Wan and Ye Qing's reposts immediately ignited the hype.
Online trolls and haters are always at the forefront, and soon after the two celebrities reposted the content, manipulated comments appeared at the top of the page.
Everyone knows that the charity foundation was set up by your dad; he can create any record he wants.
Does anyone really believe that capital is for charity? Did these two actors earn the company 100 million? They'd just donate 100 million? Even photo editing has its basic rules, right?
[The Trash Foundation has been reported.]
These kinds of comments are the fastest to trend, demonstrating the masterful manipulation techniques of trolls and online trolls.
Unfortunately, this was the peak of the incident's escalation. Although there were many trolls, they couldn't compare to the general public. Soon, rational people offered their rebuttals.
[Those who said the records were falsified really think the government is stupid. These records are so easy to check!]
[We have verified each record against the screenshots; all records and numbers are verifiable on the official website and are confirmed to be genuine.]
[Those who were dancing the most enthusiastically, I just had a sudden urge to look you up, are you perhaps all related? [Image]]
The comment also included an image showing the IP addresses of several IDs, and what's ridiculous is that these people's addresses are strikingly similar.
After all these years of navigating the internet, nobody's a fool. Suddenly, the whole internet jumped on the bandwagon, playing a game of spot the difference, with the game revolving around the Fortune Brokers' clarification screenshots and the trolls in the comments section.
While everyone was busy digging into the details, the fans weren't thinking about it too much.
Xiang Wan and Ye Qing's fans praised the company's benevolence, saying that Shiyun Agency could have donated in the company's name, but instead, it donated in the name of the artists.
The donation occurred long before the present, and the company could not have foreseen that its artist would be embroiled in a tax evasion scandal. This donation, in fact, perfectly extricated the artist from the scandal.
Artists from other companies, however, were filled with envy, realizing that the company's willingness to go to such lengths clearly demonstrated its high regard for its artists.
Fans of other artists under the same company couldn't help but tag the charity foundation, wanting to know if the company had donated to their artists and how much they had donated.
The charity foundation did not respond directly, but instead chose to reply: "The amount of donations made by celebrities is not approved by the company or the celebrity themselves, and therefore cannot be disclosed publicly. We ask for your understanding."
This statement, though not a direct reply, is enough to show that the donations did indeed occur!
