Peng Yuhuai said sternly, "You went there for work, not to order Ye Beiping to be sentenced directly. Even if you are investigated, it's still for work. Punishing speculation is the law. You are the district head, isn't it normal for you to exert some pressure?"
"Alright." After hearing Peng Yuhuai's words, Luo Hai could only nod in agreement.
He had thought about it carefully and realized that it really had nothing to do with him. He decided to go to the police station to explain that his secretary's behavior was not his intention.
The two of them decided to make Ye Beiping suffer as much as possible.
Meanwhile, Li Peiqiang and Wei Daming at the state-run hotel in Hangzhou had already discussed how to talk to Ye Beiping.
Xu Yun even mentioned that Ye Beiping was willing to raise the price by one yuan, which made the two sales department directors even happier.
Not only can you collect money, but you can also negotiate a price increase of one yuan, so this trip to Hangzhou won't be a waste.
Just then, news arrived that made both of them panic.
It was Tang Xiaolong who said it.
"Director Li, Director Wei, Accountant Xu, our warehouse has been temporarily sealed off. Brother Beiping went to the police station to handle it, so we'll have to postpone lunch today."
"What?" Li Peiqiang and Wei Daming were so shocked that they sat up abruptly from the sofa.
I never expected that what we talked about last night would end up at the police station today.
Xu Yun was also very shocked, and he understood why Ye Beiping had confessed so readily last night. It turned out that time was of the essence.
But now that Ye Beiping has gone to the police station, if he is really charged with speculation and profiteering, he may not be able to get out again.
She glanced at Li Peiqiang and whispered, "Director Li, I think we should go over and prove that the warehouse belongs to our Jiangnan Leather Factory and the First Leather Shoe Factory. Maybe that can help Ye Beiping."
"Help? With what can we offer?"
Li Peiqiang raised his voice, but when he realized it was Xu Yun, he could only take a deep breath: "We didn't report this matter to the factory. If we made the decision on our own, wouldn't the factory manager come after me if he found out?"
State-owned factories have their own rules, and every single one of them is a forbidden zone.
Even a small mistake could cost you your job.
Xu Yun frowned and stared at Li Peiqiang, whispering in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Director Li, I reckon Ye Beiping has already sent the gift. You accepted it. If you don't step forward soon, things will get even more complicated. It might not just be losing your job; you could be taken away by the police for questioning and investigation."
"If Ye Beiping is a speculator, then what are you? Director Hou has nothing to do with this matter; you were the one who facilitated it all. Can't we say that you accepted bribes and gave the goods to speculators?"
The threats left Li Peiqiang completely terrified.
It feels like I'm falling into one pit after another, and I can never climb out.
He was already beginning to regret his greed in accepting Ye Beiping's gold bars.
Wei Daming, on the other hand, understood things much better than Li Peiqiang, and he kept frowning. He was always straightforward in his work; otherwise, he wouldn't have been chosen as the first sales director of the First Leather Shoe Factory.
He had also paid a considerable price behind the scenes, and it wasn't easy for him to recoup his investment with Ye Beiping. How could he possibly give up now?
"Old Li, come with me for a moment."
Li Peiqiang glanced at Wei Daming, sighed deeply, and followed him.
The two quickly left the room, leaving only Tang Xiaolong and Xu Yun behind.
Xu Yun also asked Tang Xiaolong, "Which police station did Ye Beiping go to?"
"Donghu District Police Station".
"Then go tell Ye Beiping that I'll handle things here," Xu Yun said to Tang Xiaolong, then sat down in a chair, rubbing his temples, looking somewhat tired.
I thought that helping Ye Beiping negotiate the warehouse deal would be the end of it, but I never expected it would cause such a mess.
In addition, there is Wei Daming's room.
As soon as the two entered the room, Li Peiqiang asked, "Old Wei, what exactly did you call me over here for?"
His tone was irritable, as if he felt that this trip to Hangzhou should never have been made.
Wei Daming seemed much more relaxed. He smiled and sat down opposite Li Peiqiang, saying, "Old Li, if you look at it from a different angle, does it really matter whether we report the warehouse issue or not?"
"What... what do you mean?" Li Peiqiang was dumbfounded.
Seeing that Li Peiqiang still didn't understand, Wei Daming stopped hiding it, since there were only the two of them in the room anyway.
"Let me tell you, Lao Li, Ye Beiping sent over a gold bar today that weighs at least half a pound. I'm sure you received it too, right?"
Seeing Li Peiqiang hesitate, he finally nodded, his eyes showing a slight wariness.
Wei Daming sneered: "From the moment we accepted this gold bar, we were destined to stand with Ye Beiping. Otherwise, why would they give us a gold bar like this? It's worth several thousand yuan. Besides, Ye Beiping paid for the warehouse, but it's registered under our factory's name. As long as we can prove our work identity at the police station, we can just give an explanation."
"There's absolutely no need to report this to the factory."
"But... what if the police go to Wencheng to investigate?" Li Peiqiang asked worriedly.
Wei Daming laughed even more wildly: "Old Li, Old Li, you're already so old, why are you still so stubborn? You have to go all the way to Wencheng for such a small matter. Don't they have anything better to do? Besides, are the two directors of our state-owned factories just for show?"
"At most, we can call to inquire, but we won't be able to get to the factory manager. We can just find someone to answer the phone."
This finally enlightened Li Peiqiang, and his eyes lit up.
yes.
As the head of the sales department, they had a few loyal people; they could simply assign someone to answer the phone to verify the information and that would be the end of it.
