Chapter 427 Destined to Disappoint Them
Lin Siqiao nodded. He had no choice but to admit it.
After all, US$500,000 is not a small sum of money, and many people have handled it, so it is only a matter of time before they find out.
The other party was obviously well prepared today, so there was no need for her to waste time on such things.
Considering what Comrade Jiang said earlier, Lin Siqiao now roughly guessed the purpose of Deputy Director Zhang's visit.
This person had always been unwilling to let me invest the money in stocks. Now that the stock market has plummeted, it has given him a good reason.
If Lin Siqiao guessed correctly, Deputy Director Zhang's purpose of coming here this time was to get the money back.
Sure enough, the next second, Deputy Director Zhang spoke, but his attitude was much better than she had imagined.
"Comrade Lin, actually no one in our liaison office agrees with this matter of stock speculation, but Director Chen insists on doing it his own way!"
"As a result of his wrong decision, our liaison office suffered heavy losses this time."
"Now we can't even pay salaries, and the employees are very dissatisfied with this..."
The more Lin Siqiao listened, the more she frowned. If she hadn't talked to Director Chen on the phone before, she might have actually believed his nonsense.
If you really disagree, why didn't you come here when the stock market was doing so well some time ago?
Now that it has fallen, everyone is acting like a hindsight.
Lin Siqiao did not comment on whether Director Chen was insisting on his own way. She only knew that if it were not for this parasite in front of her, Director Chen would never do such a thankless task.
Resisting the urge to roll his eyes, Lin Siqiao spoke bluntly.
"Deputy Director Zhang, this doesn't seem right. Director Chen clearly said this when I took over the money."
"He had already reserved a year's salary for his employees. How come he suddenly couldn't pay them?"
"What has your liaison office done recently that costs so much?"
When Jiang Tao and others in the inner room heard this, they couldn't help but spit. What else could it be except that this man was embezzling money?
After hearing these words, Deputy Director Zhang's face instantly turned gloomy.
He didn't expect that a little girl would dare to humiliate him in public.
On the way here, he heard from his secretary that this man named Lin was eloquent.
Coincidentally, he wrote a report back because of this person last year.
It has been so long since then that I have completely forgotten the name of Deputy Director Zhang.
Fortunately, his secretary reminded him, otherwise he would not have been able to connect a translator with a "potential capitalist".
He originally thought that this girl was smart, but he didn't expect that she couldn't tell the difference between the big and small ones, and she was so impulsive. It was a pity that he had just tried to talk to her in a nice way for a long time.
When he spoke again, Deputy Director Zhang's tone was noticeably colder, and there was a hint of ruthlessness between his brows than before.
"Comrade Lin, you already understand the situation, so I'll tell you straight away."
"After the stock market opens the day after tomorrow morning, please sell the stocks belonging to our liaison office immediately."
"I want to see the money by the afternoon at the latest."
"Remember, I'm not discussing this with you, this is an order!"
Lin Siqiao was not surprised at all by Deputy Director Zhang's completely different expression before and after, and she also understood what he meant.
But it’s not so easy to take this money away from me!
If this person hadn't changed his expression so quickly, Lin Siqiao might not have thought so deeply.
It is said that when something is abnormal, there must be something wrong, and when a person is abnormal, there must be something wrong!
If she really sold these stocks at a low price as this person said, wouldn't that just prove that Director Chen embezzled state assets?
At that time, not only might Director Chen be implicated, but I might also be criticized.
Thinking of Director Chen, Lin Siqiao suddenly reacted.
Given Director Chen's character, even if he couldn't stop this from happening, he would at least call me in advance to inform me. It doesn't make sense that there is no news until now.
Unless... Director Chen is now unable to protect himself.
Thinking of this, Lin Siqiao shook his head and said, "Deputy Director Zhang, I understand what you said, but I received this money from Director Chen, and we agreed on a one-year period."
"Now that you've suddenly changed your mind, shouldn't Director Chen come out and make a statement?"
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Deputy Director Zhang said, "There is no need to express your opinion. Director Chen is busy returning to China these days, so it is not convenient for him."
Secretary Du, who had been silent for a long time, also raised his chin at this moment.
"Comrade Lin, now all matters of the liaison office are in the charge of Deputy Director Zhang. Just do whatever he tells you to do."
Hearing this, Lin Siqiao felt half disappointed.
If she guessed correctly, the day she sold the stocks should be the day Director Chen was escorted back to China.
But this time, Lin Siqiao was destined to disappoint them!
After pondering for a moment, she looked at Deputy Director Zhang.
"I can do what you say, but Deputy Director Zhang, you have to write me a disclaimer, otherwise I won't be able to explain this to the people above me."
"No problem, that's easy." Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Deputy Director Zhang readily agreed.
Soon, Lin Siqiao wrote the disclaimer and signed his name.
Deputy Director Zhang took it and took a quick look. He didn't find any problems, but he always felt something was wrong.
But he couldn't tell what was wrong.
However, Zhang Dong did not take it seriously. It was just a waiver agreement. The most urgent task now was to prove that Director Chen had embezzled public funds.
After he signed, Lin Siqiao immediately put away the waiver agreement. This was a good thing, and she was counting on it to turn the tide.
Just as Deputy Director Zhang stood up to say goodbye, Lin Siqiao stopped him.
"Deputy Director Zhang, please wait a moment."
As she said that, she went to the inner room, and when she came out, Lin Siqiao had a check in her hand.
The check belonged to Uncle Qiu, but unexpectedly it ended up back in her hands after going around in circles.
Looking at the check handed over, Deputy Director Zhang was confused, "Comrade Lin, what do you mean by this?"
