Chapter 71 Eliminating the old man in one move, forcing Xie Ran to lower his head...
The two stopped laughing after they finished joking.
Of course, she only said the first half of her sentence.
Jiang Mian didn't know the second half of the sentence, so she simply agreed.
Just as she was checking the charity bills at the end of the month, Jiang Miaomiao suddenly sat down opposite her uninvited. At first, she didn't mind: "I'm busy with the accounts today, I don't have time to chat with you."
But Jiang Miaomiao's words had a hidden meaning: "I knew you were going to do the accounting today, so I came here specifically to have you verify it."
Jiang Mian vaguely realized something, quickly pulled out the donation details to check, and frantically typed on the computer with her fingers.
An hour later, they quickly returned to the previously checked bill.
“There were several instances of duplicate payments for donations, and some reimbursements differed from the actual expenditures, but the discrepancies were very small. I don’t think it was due to carelessness or unintentional mistakes.”
“Let me see too.” Jiang Miaomiao reached out her hand.
A divine hand that can dispel the fog of doubt before your eyes.
Jiang Mian pushed the bills and calculator over, and saw the other person's fingers fly across the keys with incredible speed. She needed even less time, just over forty minutes, to locate the twelve negligible problematic bills!
Jiang Miaomiao said, "The person who does the accounting is an expert; they know where it's easiest to tamper with things without being noticed."
Jiang Mian agreed.
But if it weren't for her sudden appearance that aroused her meticulous suspicion, she might not have discovered the strangeness that led to the discovery of twelve embezzled donations. As for who embezzled the donations?
After a moment's thought, she looked up in surprise: "You seem to know?"
Jiang Miaomiao crossed her hands and laughed, "I think I'm pretty close to the truth. And to be able to siphon off so much money, it wasn't just a few individuals, but a group of people conspiring together."
Jiang Mian was suddenly startled.
They immediately cut to the chase and called in the charity representatives for a discussion.
She asked directly, and all those questioned looked panicked or caught off guard and bewildered.
But when Jiang Miaomiao suddenly interrupted and disrupted the other person's thoughts, the person contradicted themselves and, feeling guilty, gave themselves away... Immediately, the two of them pulled out the radish and brought out the mud along with it.
When the final investigation results came out, Jiang Mian couldn't help but feel disheartened: "They can easily spend tens of thousands on a single meal. Have they ever considered that girls from the mountains might be sold off just for a few thousand in dowry?"
Jiang Miaomiao suddenly smiled: "They have money and can enjoy all the good things in life, why should they care about the lives of irrelevant people?"
Jiang Mian said angrily, "I've already paid them all the salary and benefits they deserve, so why won't they listen to me? Why are they still trying to steal these life-saving donations!"
Jiang Miaomiao joked, "The employees listen to you because you have the authority to decide whether to keep or dismiss them, not because you're capable. These few people feel that you have no authority to decide whether to keep or dismiss them, so naturally they don't listen to you."
"You think you're the smartest and most eloquent?" Jiang Mian scoffed. "The three people you've crammed in all fit the bill of problems!"
Jiang Miaomiao touched the tip of her nose guiltily: "I was too naive and trusted the people recommended by those old fogies in Hong Kong."
No, Jiang Mian thought again that she had come here today, staring at her intently: "You didn't believe the wrong person, you deliberately used the charity to lure them into violating the rules."
Jiang Miaomiao frowned slightly, puzzled, and asked, "Was I that obvious?"
"Throwing snakes and rats into the granary, it's obvious now!" Jiang Mian was so angry that she couldn't catch her breath, her face turning ashen.
Jiang Miaomiao said "Oh," and quickly picked up the landline to dial 110 for her: "I know I'm wrong but I won't change. So you don't need to give me face, just call the police and have them arrested."
So she acted first and informed the other party later, frankly admitting her mistake, and said that if it happened again, she would definitely do it again!
Jiang Mian was truly stunned by her shamelessness, seeing that she was so in the wrong yet still so self-righteous.
...
Jiang Miaomiao lived up to her mission, resolving the issue of people coming from Gangcheng in just one month.
Jiang Si: "Excellent."
She then bluntly dismissed those old fogies, citing reasons such as "poor judgment of character" and "old and wicked," warning them to just obediently collect their dividends from now on, and not to pretend to know what they're talking about and give unsolicited advice on the operation of the Da Jiang Group. If they insisted on giving advice, they would ultimately lose even the chance to collect dividends!
As a result, the internal structure of the Dajiang Group became clear and efficient, making it even more secure.
However, it ultimately caused Jiang Mian a lot of trouble.
As a result, Jiang Mian stopped giving Jiang Miaomiao a friendly look from that day on.
Jiang Miaomiao desperately needed a chance to make amends, after all, Jiang Mian was a good person, and she didn't want to drive him away.
Why not have Miss Ruan Zhi Qiu manufacture it?
Ruan Zhi Qiu was completely unaware that she was being watched and continued to compete with Jiang Mian.
She insisted on opening a family restaurant opposite Jiang Mian's family restaurant in the early stages, using methods such as freebies, discounts, gifts, and forced half-buys and half-gives to compete with Jiang Mian.
The business started off well, but the Ruan family couldn't sustain themselves by consistently losing money to attract customers, no matter how wealthy they were. Moreover, she only had a smattering of business knowledge, and the frequent accidents she made without making improvements led to too many complaints, resulting in official intervention and the forced closure of the store.
All the initial investment went down the drain, and he was ridiculed as a good-for-nothing by those in the industry, making it even harder for him to regain his composure.
Ruan Zhi Qiu wanted to vent his anger directly on Jiang Mian.
Jiang Mian: "..."
Ruan Zhi Qiu went straight to Jiang Mian's Fourth Dining Hall and made a huge scene. Although she was called in and dragged away, the repeated incidents became unbearable, even making the usually good-tempered Jiang Mian want to kill her, just like Jiang Miao Miao had learned from her.
Jiang Miaomiao, who brings milk tea every day to apologize, has captivating eyes and a charming gaze, but her tone is cold: "Then I'll hand you a knife."
Jiang Mian didn't respond, but she still accepted the milk tea.
She was still angry and couldn't forgive Jiang Miaomiao easily, otherwise she might get tricked again one day!
Seeing this, Jiang Miaomiao turned around and ran to Yan Yousui for help.
Yan Yousui was a person of principle, and took the initiative to bring her to apologize. Even though Jiang Mian knew that Jiang Miaomiao was scheming and infuriating, she still felt an instant liking for Yan Yousui's innocent and kind face with its curved eyebrows. She simply couldn't be indifferent to this smiling woman in white.
Xie Ziqi, on the other hand, sided with outsiders, calling them godmother and godfather repeatedly.
Jiang Mian suffered a heart attack and glared at Jiang Miaomiao: "Fine, then you'll have to repay this favor."
"Deal." Jiang Miaomiao smiled.
This exchange of favors is just about helping Ruan Zhi Qiu, isn't it? Stirring up trouble and causing problems is second nature to her.
"Directly weaken the Ruan family and seize the market they vacated."
Jiang Mian frowned slightly.
She herself didn't dare to directly offend the Ruan family, so where did she get the courage to attack them?
"Explain in detail," Jiang Mian urged.
Jiang Miaomiao countered, "Does your company evade taxes?"
Jiang Mian shook her head: "No, I wouldn't dare, absolutely not."
Jiang Miaomiao spread her hands: "I don't have any either. But the Ruan family has some, so we'll use those to cut!"
...
Before reporting the Ruan family, Jiang Mian cautiously called Jing Yanyu to discuss it: "Senior brother, I spent money to buy information and hired people to investigate the Ruan Group, and I actually found some evidence of tax evasion. What do you think my chances of winning if I report them to the government?"
"The odds of winning are slim!" Jing Yanyu was slightly surprised. This kind of underhanded tactic that would kill a thousand while hurting eight hundred of your own was definitely not Jiang Mian's style.
First, the Nguyen Group absolutely knows that you reported them, and they will definitely retaliate.
Secondly, you will be investigated for tax evasion, just like in ancient times when appealing to a higher authority would result in twenty strokes of the cane on the buttocks, and you could be considered dead if you survived.
Besides, you may be upright, but can you guarantee that the shadows below won't be crooked?
Jiang Mian pondered for a moment and said, "I have fulfilled all the obligations that a boss should have. If the people below me really break the law, it has little to do with me."
"It's different. Ignorance is also a crime. If you insist on going after the Ruan family, I suggest you talk to him..."
"Senior brother, this has nothing to do with him."
"Ruan Zhi Qiu is targeting you because of Xie Ran; he has a responsibility and obligation to help you."
"I don't want people to think that I still have feelings for him, or that I need a man to succeed."
"Junior sister, those who achieve great things don't concern themselves with trifles. I think you shouldn't be so sensitive."
"It's not a matter of being sensitive or not; it's that I've already broken ties with him. Now that we're finally free of any entanglement, there's really no need to keep bothering him. Otherwise, it would make me look like I'm trying to hide something, and how pathetic would that be!"
Jing Yanyu silently slapped himself in the face.
As expected of everyone's junior sister, she can insult everyone without equal, and the most ruthless thing is that she can even insult herself.
Jiang Miaomiao listened to the phone call.
It's confirmed without a doubt that Jing Yanyu doesn't have romantic feelings for Jiang Mian...
She silently placed various documents on Jiang Mian's desk. Only when Jiang Mian came forward to report the incident would various people secretly protect her; her job was to hand over the documents and the knife.
Jiang Mian looked back at the thick stack of documents. "You've already given me the paper documents, can't you change it to electronic documents? That way I can copy and paste them to fill out the complaint form on the website."
“In our IT industry, there’s a term called ‘zombie computer.’ It means that once your computer is connected to the internet, it’s no longer your computer, but everyone’s computer. So all these materials were edited on an old, outdated computer that was disconnected from the internet, copied onto a USB drive, and printed out. It wasn’t easy,” Jiang Miaomiao explained with deep emotion, extending her right hand.
A hand with a speed that surpasses everyone else's, typing at a rate of at least 175 Chinese characters per minute.
Jiang Mian handed over the wireless keyboard.
Jiang Miaomiao didn't even need to look at the keyboard; her five right fingers tapped out precise, rapid strokes. Her fingers moved with lightning speed, almost invisible!
The office door was suddenly flung open, and Jiang Yi and Jing Yanyu barged in, looking travel-worn, which was quite startling.
Jiang Miaomiao's fingers paused on the keyboard for a moment, then she suddenly changed the position of her typing, using a shortcut to hide the report page where most of the information was already filled. She then opened a new report page in another browser and slowly typed out several hundred words.
"Uh, good, it hasn't been submitted yet." He chuckled slyly and closed the page.
Jiang Miaomiao smiled knowingly.
Unfortunately, she was practically invisible in front of the two Xie family lawyers, so much so that they were too busy watching Jiang Mian's slightly angry expression.
Jiang Yi then went to snatch the paper documents from the table. Dozens of complaint materials fluttered into the air, drifting east and west. It was easy to imagine how troublesome it would be to just pick them up and sort them.
He said smugly, "Sister Jiang, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
You can cause damage, but you can't pretend to be blind! Moreover, Jing Yanyu sighed, "Since Jiang Mian could print it out, she must have an electronic backup, so why did you scatter the documents, Jiang Yi?"
Jiang Yi was startled and immediately turned to stare at Jiang Miaomiao.
Jiang Miaomiao was just about to feel relieved or saddened that she, a living person, had been noticed, when it turned out that the other person had their eyes on the only laptop in the office.
Jiang Yi asked excitedly, "Sister Jiang, is this where you store your computer backups? Let me take a look."
Jiang Mian asked, "Do you want to smash my computer or delete my data?"
Everyone's brow twitched, and the scene became inexplicably awkward.
Jiang Mian covered her forehead and said, "To be honest, are you trying to stop me from reporting this?"
"They're all worried that you'll be punished for reporting the Ruan family all by yourself. They don't understand why someone is hiding behind the scenes trying to use others to do their dirty work!" Jiang Yi glanced at Jiang Miaomiao beside him.
...Don't think they don't know; only a weirdo like Jiang Miaomiao would come up with such a terrible idea.
Jiang Miaomiao smiled before answering. Did their expressions make it seem as if the Xie legal team was some kind of righteous and impartial group?
The Xie Group's legal team is indeed a top-notch team, but in order to maintain their "unbeatable myth," they withdraw cases they are not confident about before the trial by spending money. This practice is not exactly honorable.
She stood up and said, "It seems I shouldn't be here. I'll take my leave first, and you can continue your conversation."
Jiang Mian tried to persuade him to stay, but Jiang Yi pressed her hand down and said, "Well then, Sister Miaomiao, take care and don't come back."
"Let me see you off," Jing Yanyu said, still covering his forehead.
Has Jiang Yi exhausted all his superficial skills, like his image and wording? No wonder he failed his driving test five times, even the second part, and now he has to retake the first part.
Jing Yanyu then politely saw Jiang Miaomiao off.
He escorted Jiang Miaomiao out of the office, then to the front desk, until they reached the elevator. He pressed the button for the parking lot on the second basement level... Strange, "Mr. Jing, my car is parked on the first floor."
Jing Yanyu nodded and left the elevator, then said seriously, "Chairman Jiang, why don't I have my boss talk to you about some things personally?"
Jiang Miaomiao was silent for a second. Xie Ran?
She watched the two elevator doors close with a half-smile.
About eight seconds later, the door reopened, and a low-profile black car pulled up right in front of the elevator. The rear window was open, revealing the sharply defined profile of the Xie family's owner.
She strolled forward slowly. "So what if the report dragged Jiang Mian into this? Everyone's in such a panic?"
The front passenger door suddenly opened.
Jiang Miaomiao sat down without saying a word.
Xie Ran, sitting in the back seat, said calmly, "Where would Miss Jiang like to go? I can give you a ride."
"Instead of the plain title 'Miss Jiang,' I think it would be better if Chairman Xie called me 'Chairman Jiang'?" When asking someone for a favor, one should naturally lower one's attitude. Jiang Miaomiao looked straight ahead, too lazy to look at the expressions of the people in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
After a long, long time, Xie Ran finally said, "Chairman Jiang is indeed quite capable."
