Chapter 474: Not Afraid of Investigation (5K)
Negative news about Malenia is still continuing to ferment. It has to be said that Jiucheng Capital’s move was a bit ruthless.
Everyone in this circle believes that Zeng Wenjie was just someone supported by Feng Xiao to come to the forefront, and the official was also willing to support him, which allowed him to achieve his current success.
But Feng Xiao refused to listen and was unwilling to return to Yanjing to wave the flag, which of course made them unhappy.
Since Feng Xiao wants to hide behind the scenes, then expose her and destroy her completely.
Feng Xiao's identity aroused the curiosity of the general public, and a small number of photos were exposed, so the obscene words on the Internet became even more disgusting.
Zeng Wenjie received several calls in the evening, all expressing worry and concern about his current situation.
Even the top leader of the General Administration called and asked, "Xiao Zeng, there's been a lot of buzz online today. When will you release your response?"
Zeng Wenjie said, "Don't worry. I will cooperate with the audit department in a few days to thoroughly review our entire company and let everyone see if there are any violations of rules and regulations."
The leader was silent for a moment, then asked, "How do you plan to respond to Feng Xiao's matter?"
Zeng Wenjie said, "She's a very capable person. It's an honor for me that she's willing to help me. Besides, those mistakes were made by her parents and have nothing to do with her. Her parents have received the punishment they deserved. Why would they bring disaster upon her?"
The leader said: "It will have a bad influence."
Zeng Wenjie said, "I know it has a bad influence, but this kind of thing should be treated separately."
The leader said, "Let's put your interview on hold for now. Let's wait until the storm has passed before airing it again."
Zeng Wenjie said, "I'll follow your instructions, but these public opinions won't change my mind."
The leader said, "I believe you are a person of firm stance and integrity and will not make stupid mistakes."
Zeng Wenjie said, "Don't worry, boss. I have never done anything that violates any rules or regulations. Every business I deal with can be thoroughly investigated and guaranteed to be spotless."
Zeng Wenjie has always been clean in his business dealings, and every tax payment is extremely clear.
Feng Xiao whispered in his ear, "I'm afraid someone will find Ganzhou and dig up the story of you kidnapping someone."
Zeng Wenjie was startled and after chatting with his leader for a few words, he hung up the phone.
"You wouldn't want to get into such a fight with me, right?" Zeng Wenjie said thoughtfully, holding the phone.
Feng Xiao said, "Theoretically, that's not the case. After all, completely destroying you would be tantamount to officially declaring war on Zhuang Aimin. Jiucheng Capital does have a strong background, but whether or not to truly offend a top provincial governor is something worth considering."
Feng Xiao was silent for a moment and then said, "But that doesn't mean they won't seize this clue and evidence and use it at the critical moment."
Zeng Wenjie listened and couldn't help but pinch his chin and pondered.
Ultimately, this incident was caused by Wenxue Guli's fault, as he cheated Zeng Xiangdong out of his money.
Even when Wenxue Gu was in custody, someone came to inquire about him. Zeng Xiangdong showed him the IOU and just said, "Don't hurt anyone," and left.
But this kind of thing, no matter whether it is reasonable or not, can be said to be a big stain.
So, Zeng Wenjie suddenly thought of the plots in movies and TV shows for no reason and killed the person directly.
But this ridiculous idea was discarded in a flash. If such a thing were really done, the subsequent trouble would be even greater.
"It seems we need to send someone to keep an eye on them? See if anyone from the Yanjing circle comes to contact them and then expose this matter." Zeng Wenjie asked.
"Well, this is the safest way." A hint of admiration flashed in Feng Xiao's eyes.
Killing people at will is such an arrogant thing, it can only be done by a powerful person who can cover the sky with one hand.
For example, the matter of Feng Xiao's mother was simply defined in this way, and no one dared to delve into it. Even her father kept his mouth shut and said nothing.
Zeng Wenjie said, "I'll call Sanbai and Fu Yong and ask them to bring two smart people to handle this matter."
Zeng Wenjie thought of Lao Li, but unfortunately Lao Li and his wife were killed at home by a thug while doing business.
But Fu Yong is also an old hand, and he has accumulated a lot of experience over the past year, so he will definitely be able to handle this matter well.
After giving the order, Fu Yong and Sanbai immediately contacted each other and decided to set off to Ganzhou right away to keep an eye on Wenxue Gu.
"Will I be a step behind others?" Zeng Wenjie smiled helplessly.
"It's very likely, but they may not know this information." Feng Xiao said.
Zeng Wenjie said, "It doesn't matter. Even if this information is really dug out, I won't fall because of it. Besides, in the end, we are still right in this matter."
Feng Xiao smiled apologetically and said, "I told you that if I stood in front of the stage, it would cause you trouble. If I had known this, I would have just worked peacefully behind the scenes."
Zeng Wenjie sneered and said, "Why are you saying this? I don't feel anything, but you're apologizing instead."
Feng Xiao said, "Perhaps we should wait another year or two, until you have gained more honors. That would be the best time, right?"
Zeng Wenjie said, "That's enough now. Didn't you see they wanted you to return to Yanjing, and I didn't agree? They didn't dare to do anything then? If I didn't have some background, I would have just dragged you back!"
Feng Xiao was very well-behaved and obedient that night, and Boss Zeng really enjoyed it.
The next day, Zeng Wenjie contacted Zhuang Aimin.
Although self-proof is a trap, it is necessary to use such means at this time because Feng Xiao's background is not clean, and the outside world therefore suspects that Malenia has violated the rules.
This matter was quickly arranged, and all Marenya had to do was wait for the investigation.
At the same time, the news was released. The report seemed very neutral and simply stated that an audit procedure had been initiated against Malenia.
After this news spread, the Internet was boiling!
Everyone knows that Zeng Wenjie is a rising star, but just yesterday, the fake foreign brands of Marennia and the dirty background of its president Feng Xiao were exposed, and the audit procedure was initiated today!
Is this Marennia really not clean? Otherwise, how could the authorities act so quickly and swiftly?
For a time, there was a lot of buzz.
After seeing this news, Yan Xueyou burst out laughing and said, "That little bastard is too naive to fight with us. He actually dared to throw tea on my face? He probably doesn't even know how he died now!"
Xu Yuhuan couldn't help but say, "Are the authorities moving so quickly? This shouldn't be the case..."
Yan Xueyou said: "Maybe he intends to let Feng Xiao take the blame."
In the eyes of outsiders, a company like Marlennia, which is involved in the gold and jewelry industry, must have many illegal operations and cannot withstand investigation.
What's the point of doing online sales? It doesn't sound reliable just by listening to it.
The rapid initiation of the audit process seems somewhat unreasonable. This kind of thing usually takes a week or two or even a month to ferment before the process is initiated.
Therefore, Jacky Yan felt that Zeng Wenjie was ready to make a bold move and give up Feng Xiao, whose past had been exposed.
The authorities certainly would not want to see the celebrity they had promoted turn into a villain, so they were prepared to cooperate with him in taking this drastic measure.
Hearing this, Xu Yuhuan couldn't help but sigh with a complicated expression and asked, "So, is Zeng Wenjie's success today due to himself or Feng Xiao?"
Yan Xueyou said, "He might have relied on Feng Xiao before, but with Feng Xiao's past exposed, he has to make a choice. Besides, the authorities won't allow someone with such a tainted background to be so prominent."
Xu Yuhuan asked, "So, Feng Xiao praised him, but now he's shot himself in the foot?"
Yan Xueyou shrugged and said, "Who says it's not?"
Xu Yuhuan couldn't help but think of her own situation. She didn't have Feng Xiao's ability to be a big boss behind the scenes. She was just someone who was put in the open by Lin Dong to do things.
At the moment, Feng Xiao’s experience makes her worry about her future.
If one day, Jiucheng Capital encounters trouble, will I be the one to take the blame?
The answer is yes!
But Xu Yuhuan could not give up the wealth and splendor of the past and present. She did not want to live a life without money and power, which seemed extremely cowardly to her.
"Just wait and see, Marennia will definitely be exposed to a lot of shocking problems, and then, Feng Xiao will have to take all the blame!" Yan Xueyou said with a sneer.
"In fact, this is Young Master Lin's ultimate goal, right? To force him to break up with Feng Xiao, so that Feng Xiao has no way out and can return to Yanjing to wave the flag and be used by him." Xu Yuhuan suddenly said.
Yan Xueyou was startled, then nodded and said, "I'm afraid Young Master Lin really thinks so."
They were right. As long as Zeng Wenjie chose to break away from Feng Xiao, the difficulties and troubles he would face would be minimized.
But he had already made his position clear when he spoke to his superiors on the phone yesterday. It was impossible for him to do such a compromising thing.
What gives him the confidence is that he has taken every step very uprightly since he started his business, without any crooked means or tax evasion. No matter which department comes to inspect, as long as they don't nitpick, he will be able to pass.
"No matter what, it's enough to make that little bastard named Zeng drink a pot of wine! Hahaha, I'm going to play two games of "Hero Kill" to celebrate." Yan Xueyou said.
"..." Xu Yuhuan was speechless for a moment, "Haven't you found any flaws in 'Hero Killer' yet?"
Yan Xueyou was stunned for a moment, then said, "To be honest, this game is quite fun, especially the identity field and the intrigue, which is very interesting. The only drawback is the imbalance of character skills. Some skills are too powerful, but not to the point of destroying the overall balance..."
Xu Yuhuan shook her head helplessly after hearing this. Yan Xueyou used to say that this was a rubbish game, but now he is addicted to it. Whenever he has free time, he will play a few rounds from time to time.
Yan Xueyou happily turned on the computer and started playing a five-player game. He was lucky enough to get the lord role right from the start. The five candidate heroes were all quite powerful.
Seeing that there was only one rebel left, and the rebel had only two drops of blood, he was about to win this round.
"Kill, kill you, you damn college student! Let you be so fucking crazy! What do you have to fight me? Kill you, you piece of trash!" Yan Xueyou cursed excitedly, cleared the rebel's blood volume and won the victory.
Jiucheng Capital, which manipulated this matter, quietly waited for the results of the audit.
Normally, the audit process would be relatively long, but this case is special and has a significant impact, so they determined that the results would be available within a week at most.
Even getting results within two or three days is not impossible.
Zeng Wenjie took the initiative to call Yan Xinyi, who was working as a journalist in Guzhou County, and asked her for help.
"Sister Yan, please contact your friends in the media to pay attention to the results of the inspection of our Marennia and report it extensively." Zeng Wenjie said.
"I understand. I will let my friends pay attention to it. Have you... distanced yourself from everything?" After hesitating for a while, Yan Xinyi asked the question that concerned her the most.
Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but smile and said, "What's the point of disavowing it? Our Marennia is clean and can withstand investigation!"
Yan Xinyi was stunned when she heard this and said, "Then I can only wish you good luck. I hope that when I return from Guzhou, everything will be the same for you."
Zeng Wenjie said, "Thank you."
Fake foreign brands are actually everywhere in China's business community, especially in the clothing industry, where they are rampant. However, those fake foreign brands that have nothing to offer and rely solely on foreign brand marketing are destined to be eliminated by the market.
But Zeng Wenjie is not afraid. His designs and creativity, which come from truly top-tier luxury goods, are enough to help him gain a foothold and attract a group of die-hard fans.
They say Marennia is a fake foreign brand, but he just refuses to admit it. As long as he pays taxes honestly, the authorities will not intervene in this matter.
Unless more problems are found after the audit process, the matter of fake foreign brands will be investigated.
In his previous life, Zeng Wenjie was a live-streaming host and had promoted too many brands that were registered abroad and produced domestically. As long as there was no false labeling, the quality was up to standard, and the production was compliant, there would basically be no problem.
Zeng Wenjie was busy with the public relations of Marennia and didn't even pay much attention to the official launch of the WG platform. He only held a conference call with Penguin.
Xiao Ma Ge obviously knew how anxious he was, so he didn't blame him for anything.
Once the WG platform was launched, half of the players in Penguin's major games downloaded and logged in. After all, there were generous game gift packs to be claimed.
The current WG platform is just a vassal of Penguin Games. It has integrated the resources of various games under Penguin, and there is nothing else.
But there is no need to rush this matter. Once the user base is established and new games are launched, some people will be curious about them and will choose to buy them out of curiosity.
At that time, we will go to various game manufacturers to negotiate copyrights, ask them to port the games to the WG platform for sale, and then the platform will take a commission.
When Jack Ma learned that Zeng Wenjie and Penguin had teamed up to build the WG game platform, he exclaimed in surprise, thinking that Zeng Wenjie was applying their Taobao model, but what he was selling were virtual games instead of real goods.
Mu Qingyang also noticed that Zeng Wenjie was in trouble, so he went to find him to say hello.
After Zeng Wenjie said that it was nothing serious, she felt relieved and did not ask any further questions.
When he arrived at the Game Science Studio, he found that everyone was looking at him with uneasy eyes.
Zeng Wenjie smiled and said, "I'm clean and can withstand investigation. Why are you looking at me like that? Just focus on your work and don't delay our progress!"
Game Science is currently in the process of relocation, but it has not been completed yet. After all, "Hero Killer" still needs to be improved and handed over.
Zheng Shouyun was also there and said, "You should have shown up earlier. You've made everyone panic and it's hard for anyone to work."
Zeng Wenjie said, "Hahaha, sorry, I also have to cooperate with the inspection department and go through the procedures! But, everyone, rest assured, all the industries under my control are legal and compliant, and there are no violations. So, don't worry about your boss being suddenly taken away and no one paying your wages."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help but laugh easily. Moreover, Zeng Wenjie always showed positive energy in many occasions.
His words made everyone feel very credible.
Zheng Shouyun said, "The only thing I didn't expect was that Mr. Feng actually has such a big background! You actually have a super-large Buddha statue in this small temple."
Zeng Wenjie smiled and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Feng to be so influential."
"You can fool the devil with this." Zheng Shouyun couldn't help laughing and said.
After meeting everyone, Zeng Wenjie went to see Zeng Mi again. He had been talking to her frequently recently, but she was still a little worried about it.
After seeing Zeng Wenjie, Zeng Mi finally breathed a sigh of relief, because she didn't see any haggard look on Zeng Wenjie's face.
She looked very haggard during the time she was under house arrest.
"I'm sorry to have made you worry." Zeng Wenjie said gently.
"Of course I'm worried. After all, the audit procedure was suddenly activated. It happened too quickly!" Zeng Mi couldn't help but whisper.
Zeng Mi had one foot in that circle before and knew a lot of the ins and outs.
So, even though Zeng Wenjie repeatedly assured her that everything was fine, she still couldn't help but feel worried.
Zeng Wenjie said, "I told you this was my own request. I need to thoroughly investigate Marennia from beginning to end to silence those people. After all, I don't want to sever ties with Feng Xiao just because some brats want to."
Zeng Mi smiled softly after hearing this, gently touched his cheek, and said: "I was right about you, you are a man of affection and righteousness."
To be honest, Zeng Mi was really worried that Zeng Wenjie would cut ties with Feng Xiao, or let Feng Xiao take the blame or something.
If something like that really happened, she wouldn't know what to do.
She finally made up her mind because she thought that someone as insightful as Feng Xiao would be willing to follow Zeng Wenjie.
"Hey, let those who want to see me in trouble stamp their feet in anger. However, they will definitely still call me an idiot, saying that I don't know how to be dishonest in business and that I must have no brains." Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.
