Terrified, the manager finally succumbed to the pressure and frantically confessed everything, directly pointing the finger at the calm-looking finance manager.
Only at this moment did this guy begin to feel a little uneasy.
"This is your last chance. If you really have evidence that he instructed you to do everything, I can guarantee that you won't be ruined."
Hu Yuan knew very well that this was the best and most direct breakthrough. Only by making this guy completely give up the idea of taking the blame for the finance manager could the truth be found out.
Otherwise, even if Hu Yuan uses other means, the final result will probably not be good.
"Mr. Hu, I originally just wanted to curry favor with my coworkers and get promoted to a manager position. I never expected to be so lucky and end up as the general manager. I never intended to embezzle. It was him... he made me do it. I was blinded by greed, so I did something that I am sorry to the company and to you, Mr. Hu. Please forgive me this time."
Fortunately, Hu Yuan's plan has been successful. The manager has now lost all confidence and is too scared to tell a single lie.
"Do you have anything to explain?"
Although the finance manager showed some nervousness, he did not panic or offer any explanation. He simply watched the scene with some anger.
It wasn't until Hu Yuan took the initiative to ask him that he immediately turned around and began to protest his innocence.
It has to be said that this guy's ability to change his expression is quite impressive. One second he's completely silent, and the next he immediately becomes a "pitiful person" who can say anything.
The finance manager countered, claiming that it was clearly that guy who embezzled the money, but couldn't bear the consequences, so he shifted the blame onto him. He said that none of this had anything to do with him, and he was completely unaware of it.
"Hmph, I knew you bastard were just using us. If I hadn't confessed first and become a witness, you would probably have been abandoned by now. You said you wouldn't abandon us, and that you would make us pretend to sell our assets and pay the compensation. But what have you done now?"
The manager immediately started yelling like a madman, because this incident had been a huge blow to him.
Everyone experiences many ups and downs in life, and this guy is quite unlucky, with his rises and falls happening too quickly. Given his mental age, it's naturally difficult for him to accept it.
"You're a mad dog..."
"Yes, I am a dog, at least in your eyes, you only see me as a dog and he is another dog. But if it weren't for us, could you have transferred so much money?"
"You're talking nonsense..."
"You're the one talking nonsense. You used to say that this matter was watertight and would never be discovered, and that even if it was discovered, you would take the blame. Last night you said that we should take the blame first and that you would pay for it, but you never intended to pay anything."
The manager was at his wit's end, practically at his wit's end. If he didn't explode now, his life might be over. So, at this moment, he actually became a master debater.
He left the finance manager, who had just been about to smear him, completely stunned.
"Mr. Hu, I really know nothing about this matter. Please don't believe the slander of such a villain."
Left with no other option, the finance manager had to turn to Hu Yuan for help.
But Hu Yuan didn't trust him to begin with, so why would he say anything in his defense?
"And you? Do you have anything to say now?"
Hu Yuan completely ignored the guy and suddenly asked the purchasing agent.
But that guy was like a rock in a latrine, smelly and stubborn, and even now he still chose to take the blame for someone else.
"If you still choose to take the blame and carry on to the end, I won't try to persuade you anymore. If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. Since you did it, you must have left evidence. Your unwillingness to tell the truth will only make you bear a heavier burden of guilt."
Hu Yuan has always liked people who are absolutely loyal, but this kind of blind loyalty can sometimes be quite annoying.
"You're in the same boat. If you admit your mistakes and explain everything clearly, I'll let you pay less. Otherwise, your fate will be something you don't even want to imagine."
Hu Yuan turned to the finance manager and spoke again.
This guy thought he was smart enough and wanted to argue, but after seeing Hu Yuan's eyes, he swallowed his words.
Because he could also see that Hu Yuan had been eyeing him for a long time, and this time he was even less likely to let it go.
"Mr. Hu, I admit I knew about this, but I had no choice. He planned it all. The two of them got all the paperwork done, so I can't refuse to pay."
Finally, the finance manager gritted his teeth, changed his story, and implicated the procurement department as the mastermind, thus exonerating himself.
What's even more interesting is that when the purchasing manager heard what the finance manager said, although he looked up at him in surprise, he still didn't say a word in his defense.
“You agree with everything he said.”
Hu Yuan shook his head slightly, truly wondering why this guy would be willing to take on so much blame for others.
Moreover, it's something he simply can't afford to bear.
"What I'm telling you is that if that's the case, then you are the mastermind. Even if you go bankrupt, by the time you get out, you'll probably be an old man in your twilight years. So you'd better think it through."
Hu Yuan still clung to his last glimmer of hope and tried to persuade the purchasing agent.
But the other person only sighed in despair, their eyes still fixed on him.
“Last night, I had someone check your three accounts and your expenditures over the past six months. I believe you know how big the discrepancy is without me having to tell you. So I hope you can admit it yourselves. If you make me spend more time investigating the evidence, I will be more ruthless in the end. Don’t blame me for being merciless then.”
Hu Yuan really didn't want to waste any more time like this. This matter had already taken up a lot of his energy, so he pulled out his trump card.
This time, a look of panic finally appeared on the finance manager's face.
He didn't know what kind of methods Hu Yuan had, but he knew that with his net worth, he was far from being able to fight Hu Yuan.
Even if he believed he was much smarter than Hu Yuan, the gap in financial resources and influence was insurmountable.
"Mr. Hu, whether you believe it or not, I really didn't do this. However, I'm willing to resign because I was indeed aware of it. This is my dereliction of duty. Moreover, I will return every penny of the salary the company has paid me over the past six months to the company."
