"This wasn't designed by Lao Liang. It must be Xu Jingye. I'm blushing just looking at it. I don't know what he's got the skills to cover himself up so tightly, but it just doesn't look the same." Director Xie, who has been in the garment industry for thirty years, hit the nail on the head.
Jiewei's dress design features a Japanese-style fresh and clean aesthetic, clearly inspired by Japanese fashion. The simple design looks stunning on a model who is only 1.68 meters tall.
"This is perfect for making a bestseller; it'll probably be snapped up like crazy," Factory Manager Xie nodded.
"This is a new designer who came back from Japan."
"This is a real talent; we must recruit him."
"Whether we can accept it or not is still uncertain." Qin Xiaoyu didn't have the courage to confront Gao Daxiong. He was no ordinary person on the street; she couldn't afford to offend him.
Even a small fry like Huo Jinghong can stir up trouble. There are plenty of scoundrels in shallow waters, so it's best to be careful.
Qin Xiaoyu discovered that she wasn't as bold as she was back in her hometown. Perhaps the more one has, the less courageous one becomes.
After arranging everything, Qin Xiaoyu rushed back to her office, packed up, and went home immediately. Talking to A Lei had definitely been effective.
But before she could even leave the house, a phone call came in. The Second Light Industry Bureau had an emergency meeting that required the attendance of the top executives of all enterprises. If Qin Xiaoyu wasn't there before, Factory Director Xie could fill in. Now, it wouldn't be right for him not to show up.
"I'll go, it's okay. If it takes too long, I'll pretend to be sick and come out." Qin Xiaoyu has learned a lot of tricks now, and she's not as foolish as before, stubbornly enduring it.
A Lei drove her downstairs and then stayed in the car to wait.
"It's okay, get out and walk around. You've gotten so tired of sitting in the car." Qin Xiaoyu said with concern.
"If you really care, come down quickly." A Lei reached out and patted her cheek, pinching it gently but not quite pinching it.
"Okay." Qin Xiaoyu raised her little face, smiled sweetly, and walked briskly towards the Second Light Industry Bureau's office building.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense. Apart from Director Sun, everyone else was an unfamiliar face. And what was with Director Sun's face twitching intermittently? Was he trying to suppress a laugh?
Qin Xiaoyu's heart sank; it seemed she had fallen into a trap.
"We're from the Provincial Audit Bureau. We're here to check your factory's accounts. Please cooperate." A man walked over and handed over a work ID.
Qin Xiaoyu glanced at it; it was Section Chief Qian from the Provincial Audit Bureau.
"Aren't we supposed to be at the factory to check the accounts? What are you doing here?" Qin Xiaoyu sat down opposite them casually, it seemed like another heated argument was about to begin.
Sigh, why bother? You're going to lose anyway.
Perhaps it was because her expression was too relaxed that the other party seemed to be provoked.
"Because your problem is serious, you have to be detained until you explain everything clearly before you can go back."
"Detain? What problems have you found that warrant detention? That's quite a boast. Let's just follow the law." Qin Xiaoyu didn't mince words.
"You were reported by name, and there is evidence to support your detention!" Section Chief Qian tossed over a stack of papers. Qin Xiaoyu glanced at them and saw the signature at the bottom: Wang Lingling.
"Wang Lingling abused her power while working at our factory, causing huge economic losses. It's already good enough that we haven't held her accountable financially, but she still turned around and accused us." Qin Xiaoyu has seen plenty of shameless people, but she was still disgusted.
"Don't talk about her problems yet, talk about yourself. Every time you travel for work, you fly and stay in luxury hotels. With your administrative rank, you're not qualified to enjoy that kind of treatment at all. How do you explain that?"
"Well, you've come to the right place. You can check the accounts to see if there are any receipts for my travel expenses. I always travel with my husband, and he covers all the expenses. I've never asked about it," Qin Xiaoyu said proudly.
"What unit does your husband work for? What does he do?" Section Chief Qian immediately sensed a clue and pressed for an answer.
“He’s unemployed.” Qin Xiaoyu tilted her head and looked at the ceiling.
"Without a job, how can he afford such enormous expenses? Tell me! Where did his money come from!" Section Chief Qian thought he had discovered something serious and slammed his fist on the table, shouting.
"Inheritance," Qin Xiaoyu said casually.
"Inheritance?" The people opposite exchanged glances, all somewhat bewildered.
"Inheritance also needs to be investigated!" Section Chief Qian gave himself a way out.
“You can check. You can go to the UK first, since most of his businesses are there. Then go to the US, and also France and Italy. Oh, and Japan and India too, but very few, so it’s fine not to go there…” Qin Xiaoyu was deliberately trying to annoy him, and the other party had already figured it out and was genuinely angry.
"Your uncooperative attitude will do you no good! You want us to come into the factory and audit the accounts? Fine, we'll go into the factory and audit from the time the factory was built in 1950. Until the investigation is complete, all cash flows will be frozen!" Section Chief Qian lost his temper.
Qin Xiaoyu stood up coldly. "What I say can't decide what you do. I knew this would happen the moment I walked in. Just you wait and see."
Qin Xiaoyu slammed the door shut and got out. A Lei, being quite obedient, was circling around the car. Seeing that her expression was off, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Did that grandson surnamed Sun upset you again?"
"Go back to the factory immediately. The provincial audit team is coming to the factory, and all funds are frozen. We need to have Director Xie handle the most important matters first." Qin Xiaoyu felt a tightness in her chest.
Every step has been fraught with difficulties. Just when things were going well, another obstacle has fallen in our way.
It was almost time to leave work, and Factory Manager Xie had already tidied his desk. Hearing Qin Xiaoyu's words, he panicked and rushed to the accounting office.
In just a short while, Director Sun personally drove over and brought the audit team over.
They took the seals and immediately began sealing the cabinets and ledgers.
It was just the time for the female workers to get off work when they heard that something had happened at the factory, and the corridor was packed with people.
"Everyone, go back now, it's alright," Qin Xiaoyu reassured everyone, urging them to leave first.
"Director Qin, the formal audit will begin tomorrow. I hope you will cooperate fully and not leave the city during the audit period." Section Chief Qian smiled grimly and strode away. Director Sun, behaving like a grandson, nodded and bowed as he saw them out.
A Lei didn't dare to delay and hurriedly took Qin Xiaoyu to Lei Bingzheng's house.
Lei Bingzheng didn't get home until after 5 p.m. After hearing their account of what had happened, he was also in a dilemma.
"The government is strengthening auditing efforts; this is a new policy, and all departments must cooperate. We can't go against the grain. Anyway, your factory is fine; letting them investigate will save us trouble later."
"I'm not afraid of him investigating, I'm afraid he'll never stop investigating. If he doesn't finish investigating in a day, all the accounts will be frozen, and the factory's cash flow will be disrupted. That will be difficult to handle," Qin Xiaoyu hurriedly expressed her concerns.
“Indeed, if they need to gather evidence for even the smallest things, they can easily find some pretext and investigate for months.” A Lei also understood Director Sun’s tactics.
"Let me think of a way to solve this, but it's a bit difficult." Lei Bingzheng shook his head.
