Liu Tiao gave an awkward laugh, realizing that Wu Changfeng had read her mind.
Wang Chao was completely confused.
etc.
Is there a deeper reason for not holding the willow branch accountable?
Wang Chao couldn't understand it at all. His brows furrowed with sorrow, and he sighed softly, "Boss, no matter what the reason, we can't just let this go unchecked, can we?"
"If that's the case, the purchasing staff will be eager to do something, since there's no punishment anyway."
Wu Changfeng nodded in agreement: "I know, but please share your views, Mr. Liu. Our company allows for the exchange of diverse perspectives."
Wang Chao looked at the willow branches with a strange expression.
This is a very serious issue. Does Mr. Liu have a different opinion?
I'd like to hear what she has to say.
A sweet, cloying voice drifted from her willow-leaf-red lips: "I think... let's just forget about it?"
Wu Changfeng waved his hand: "Tell me about it."
Willow mustered her courage, knowing that once she voiced her opinion, it would surely elicit different perspectives.
However, considering the company's costs, it must be said that whether Wu Changfeng adopts this approach is none of their concern.
Willow said, "I think this must be because the purchasing agent and the supplier had a falling out over a conflict of interest."
“Zhang Wei knew that the supplier would definitely retaliate, but he wasn’t sure when. So, he ran away before we knew anything about it.”
Wang Chao nodded, agreeing with Liu Tiao's idea: "That's right. I'm also wondering, how can someone resign without even getting paid? It's really strange."
Willow continued, "So, there are two choices regarding this matter. As I said before, either call the police or let it go."
“I have already explained the reasons for calling the police, and Minister Wang has explained it very clearly. I will now offer my opinion on settling the matter peacefully.”
"If we choose to report it to the police, an investigation will definitely be launched."
"But things aren't that simple, and we'll have to pay a price."
Wang Chao was completely dumbfounded.
We've already paid the price!
The profits that were cheated out of all went into Zhang Wei's pocket, damaging the company's interests. What other price should be paid?
Wang Chao looked at Wu Changfeng, wondering if Wu Changfeng would be angry because of President Liu's nonsense.
But Wu Changfeng remained outwardly calm, listening with a smile on his face.
Strange behavior...
It seemed like the boss knew what General Manager Liu was going to say.
Willow continued, "First, we will need to spend a lot of manpower and time collecting evidence."
"Secondly, we need to hire professional staff and consultants. Although we have a legal department, it is not yet fully developed, with only one person. We definitely need external legal support."
"Third, this matter will definitely cause a huge uproar, damaging the company's reputation. Because if there is corruption within a company, it will severely damage its image. Even if we arrest people internally, the public will not think that way."
"This is what they call 'good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast.' The public, while enjoying the spectacle, often let their subjective emotions cloud their judgment."
"Fourth, if we send this person in, we can't rule out the possibility that his wife, children, father and mother will come and fight us every day."
"These are all things we have to face."
In this day and age, legal issues sometimes can't even be addressed in rural areas.
Most cases are handled by respected elders, and unless someone dies, the matter is resolved internally.
In such an environment, sending Zhang Wei to jail would prevent his family from backing down due to legal issues.
All his family knows is that it was you, Morning Star, who sent him there.
If we don't cause trouble for you, who else should we go looking for?
At that time, I'm afraid I'll be harassed every day.
After hearing Liu Tiao's point of view, Wang Chao fell silent.
Other problems are not major, but there are people causing trouble every day, which is unbearable.
Now Wang Chao didn't know what to do either, so he could only turn his attention to Wu Changfeng.
Wu Changfeng tapped his fingers on the table and said with a smile, "President Liu has improved; he now knows how to approach problems from multiple perspectives."
“You’re right. If we investigate Zhang Wei’s case, it will definitely cause a huge uproar, and his family might even block the door.”
"but……"
Wu Changfeng leaned forward, crossed his arms, and said seriously, "Do you know what it means to have the wool come from the sheep's back?"
Liu Tiao and Wang Chao nodded at the same time.
Who doesn't know that?
Wu Changfeng continued, "If your purchasing agent goes to buy things, and I am the supplier, and I give your purchasing agent 10,000 yuan, then unless I increase the price or cut corners, I can't make 20,000 yuan. Am I just being a busybody?"
"Every kickback your purchasing and management personnel receive should ideally be converted into actual costs for your company in a way that you cannot observe."
After Wu Changfeng finished speaking,
The willow branch fell into deep thought.
She was trying to avoid increasing staff and costs, and to prevent things from escalating too much.
However, it doesn't consider whether the cost of these kickbacks is borne by the company or the supplier.
Upon hearing Wu Changfeng's explanation, Liu Tiao suddenly realized: the company had taken on the responsibility!
Suppliers need to make money, and the profits they should have earned were instead taken away as kickbacks.
The supplier will definitely try to get back to them!
Otherwise, why would they bother playing games with your company?
Wu Changfeng continued, "I suggest we gather evidence and report it to the police."
“Although our company paid a price, we have at least set an example within the company. From now on, anyone who dares to take kickbacks will be arrested and prosecuted!”
