"I'll try to figure something out; this is a bit urgent." Qin Xiaoyu had no choice but to try to transfer funds from elsewhere. The money itself wasn't the problem; she could get it from Qi Si or her uncle. However, this would make things a bit illegitimate. The account for the transfer had changed, and she would need to provide a lot of explanations.
"Director Qin, we've checked some of the accounts and found serious problems. We're going to freeze all the accounts for your counters now. And you also have shares in Hengchang Department Store, right? Check everything." Section Chief Qian arrived just in time, blocking Qin Xiaoyu's path.
"Section Chief Qian, may I ask? We've discovered a serious problem. What is it?"
"I can't tell you that. You're the person involved, so just cooperate," Section Chief Qian said arrogantly.
Qin Xiaoyu wanted nothing more than to slap him across the face.
"I urge Section Chief Qian to reconsider. The current national policy supports reform and opening up, and my factory has always operated and managed in accordance with national policies. Even if there are some minor issues, they are within the scope of adjustment. If you close the accounts without distinguishing right from wrong, can you bear the economic losses caused to our factory?" Qin Xiaoyu was already prepared to fight him to the death. If they couldn't negotiate, she would make a big scene.
"Are you threatening me? Cooperating with the audit of state organs is your obligation. Are you trying to break the law?" Section Chief Qian had memorized the legal provisions before coming and refused to back down.
"I don't want to break the law, and I don't want others to fabricate stories out of thin air. You need to know how much effort and sacrifice a company has taken to develop to where it is today. Do you really think you can destroy it so easily? That's impossible!" Qin Xiaoyu pressed him step by step.
"I've heard that Director Qin is not someone to be trifled with. This is your territory. What are you going to do about it?" Section Chief Qian subconsciously took two steps back when he saw Qin Xiaoyu's murderous aura.
"I'll teach you a lesson..." Qin Xiaoyu raised her hand to hit her.
"Don't do it, Qin Xiaoyu!" A sharp shout rang out. Qin Xiaoyu looked up and saw Lu Di descending from the sky, followed by Sister Zhang.
"Don't lay a hand on her. If you do, you'll be in the wrong. This child is stupid." Sister Zhang came over and pulled Qin Xiaoyu aside.
Many people from the garment factory were watching the commotion. They originally wanted Qin Xiaoyu to make a move, so they rushed in to help.
Seeing that Sister Zhang was pulling Qin Xiaoyu aside, they were afraid that she would be taken advantage of, so they all crowded around her.
"It's alright, it's alright, you don't need to worry, go back to work." Qin Xiaoyu quickly dismissed everyone.
"Vice Minister Lu, hello." Section Chief Qian's attitude was unusually friendly.
Qin Xiaoyu was puzzled. What kind of title was this? How come he got promoted again after not contacting her for a while? He must have been on a rocket!
"Old Qian, I heard about your audit team coming to the factory, so I flew here. You were reckless!" Lu Di said with a pained expression, holding Section Chief Qian's hand.
"Huh? We only went to the factory for an audit because there was a real-name report. It's completely in accordance with policy." Section Chief Qian was a little confused.
"That's all correct, the mistake lies in you sealing the accounts. Do you know how much effort Director Qin has put in to bring this company from a loss-making, near-bankrupt state to where it is today? Your casual sealing and freezing could turn all her hard work into nothing, and the reforms would be reversed! Do you understand the seriousness of the matter now?" Lu Di's words were quite serious.
“But if there’s a problem, we can’t ignore it,” Section Chief Qian said in a low voice.
"Reform means flexibility! Your thinking is too bureaucratic. An investigation is fine, but there's no need to completely freeze or shut down the accounts. If you really ruin this provincial model enterprise, the only profitable company in the Second Light Industry Bureau, would you have more merit or more demerit?" Lu Di's words made Section Chief Qian break out in a cold sweat.
“Vice Minister Lu, I understand now. We will lift the lockdown immediately. The investigation must be thorough, but the methods can be flexible.” Section Chief Qian finally understood.
"Director Qin, come here for a moment." Lu Di beckoned Qin Xiaoyu to his office with a stern face.
"Congratulations, you've been promoted again," Qin Xiaoyu said pitifully.
"Why didn't you call me? If it weren't for Lao Zhang calling, things would have gone wrong. Can't you separate public and private matters?" Lu Di was scolding them when the door was pushed open without knocking. A Lei stood in the doorway, looking at them coldly.
"It's alright now." Qin Xiaoyu raised her hand and gave A Lei an OK sign.
"I have to rush back; I have an important meeting to chair. From now on, just call Lao Zhang if you need anything." Lu Di got promoted; nothing else changed, except he was busier.
Although A Lei was unhappy, he couldn't deny that Lu Di had been a great help in this matter.
Once the review team calmed down and continued investigating, they found there was really nothing left to investigate.
Lu Di made it very clear: we cannot let a small matter ruin this key reform pilot enterprise that the province is supporting. That would be a disgrace to the province and even an obstacle to reform and opening up.
What's going on here? I feel like I've been tricked.
To avoid suspicion from the beginning, Qin Xiaoyu instructed the canteen to prepare a meal for the audit team consisting of four dishes and a soup, and not to exceed that.
The cafeteria staff are the most observant; they knew these people were there to audit the accounts and find fault, so they resorted to underhanded tactics. The soup was so salty it could kill you, and the vegetables were either forgotten to have salt added or weren't washed properly. Every bite was accompanied by a cacophony of crunching and smacking sounds—it was quite a spectacle.
As a result, the members of the review team really couldn't stay any longer, so they discussed going back.
But to their surprise, before they could even head home, another tip-off arrived, this time targeting a much bigger target.
The person being reported is Bai Weiwei, the mayor's wife.
"How do you think we should investigate this?" Section Chief Qian realized they had stirred up a hornet's nest.
"When we investigated Qin Xiaoyu's clothing factory, it was all talk and no action, and in the end, there were no real problems. If we don't get to the bottom of this, I'm afraid our team will be disbanded when we get back."
This is something everyone understands. Fortunately, the accounts of Dafa Department Store are much easier to investigate than Qin Xiaoyu's clothing factory. The evidence delivered was complete; a simple cleanup would be enough to send the mayor's wife in.
In the following days, the hottest news in the city was that the mayor's wife had abused her power for personal gain. Dafa Mall had been shut down, and it was rumored that Bai Weiwei and Zuo Xiangyang had been detained.
"Xiaoyu, these are all family, no outsiders. Tell me, how did you do it?" After dinner, when the other people and children had all gone out, Zhou Yue asked.
"I didn't do anything," Qin Xiaoyu said innocently.
"Go ahead and make it up, do you think you can fool me?" Zhou Yue refused to believe it no matter what.
"I could guess a bit about this," my cousin-in-law laughed.
"Huh? You really know? Then tell me." Qin Xiaoyu really underestimated her cousin-in-law.
