Chapter 369
"People are inherently greedy, and once they've gained something, they're absolutely unwilling to stop. Those two foreign businessmen, Yang Zhiping, and Deputy Factory Director Yang definitely had some shady dealings going on behind the scenes."
"This time, Yang Zhiping wants to use those two foreign businessmen to inject foreign capital into the factory and turn the Dongfang Factory into a foreign-invested export factory."
Ji Wanmei sneered: "I heard all about his schemes in East China. They never intended to save the factory and the workers; they just wanted to take advantage of the situation. They thought that by introducing foreign investment, they could exploit policy loopholes? Ha, they just wanted to take the factory's financial assets into their own hands and turn the state-owned factory into their Yang family's factory."
Ji Xingguo was truly shocked, his expression solemn and serious: "Yang Changhua, Yang Zhiping... how dare they, father and son? This is illegal."
Ji Wanmei shook her head and calmly stated, "Dad, there are many people who would choose to break the law and take risks for profit. Besides, if this matter is handled flawlessly by the father and son, we and the entire factory will be put in a passive position."
"Therefore, we must turn the passive situation into the active one and take the initiative."
After listening to his daughter's insightful analysis, Ji Xingguo also felt that this matter could not be taken lightly, and immediately said, "Tell me your plans."
Ji Wanmei then explained in detail to Ji Xingguo the series of plans she had already devised.
After listening, Ji Xingguo pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind: "Okay, we'll do it your way!"
If Yang Changhua and his son Yang Zhiping had no intention of embezzling public property, then their plan would at most be a mere formality and would not actually harm innocent people.
But if the Yang family father and son really fell into this trap, it means that they had been planning this for a long time from the beginning, and their crimes deserve to be punished.
Even so, Ji Xingguo will not hesitate to take action.
Those who dare to break the law, cross the line, and exploit the hard-earned money of ordinary people and workers must be punished with the thunderous force of the law!
Ji Wanmei said, "Dad, have you forgotten those new people you sent to the foreign investment department two years ago? Now is the best time to put them to use."
"Here's what we'll do: tomorrow, you should first find Yang Zhiping and arrange a meeting to discuss foreign investment financing. Tell him you want to meet those two foreign businessmen in person, and then have Deputy Factory Director Yang join you. You can all go together. After that, I'll take Zhu Shuangyan to the Finance Department and the Export Sales Department to retrieve Yang Zhiping's financial reimbursement records for the past two years. That's our first step."
Ji Xingguo nodded in agreement and said, "Be careful yourself. Should I send a couple more men for you?"
Ji Wanmei said, "No need. It's better if I go alone. Too many people will attract attention. I used to go to the factory office often, and no one thought it was strange. But if you send two people with me, it will arouse the suspicion of Yang Zhiping's people, and it may not be so smooth for us to retrieve the data."
Ji Xingguo had connections in finance and foreign investment, and similarly, Yang Changhua also had people he trusted.
If you alert the enemy, the expense records that could have revealed flaws will be perfected beforehand, making it impossible for anyone to spot any problems.
After explaining the first step of the plan, Ji Wanmei smiled and said, "Next, I will find a foreign friend of mine to pretend to be the head of a foreign company and come to you to discuss cooperation. This will create competition with the two foreign companies that Yang Zhiping has."
"In this way, Yang Zhiping's side will panic, and the two foreign businessmen will also want to get the cooperation contract as soon as possible, so they will lose their composure."
After hearing his daughter's meticulous and cautious plan, Ji Xingguo sighed inwardly and blamed himself, saying, "Dad really regrets what he did back then. I almost let you go on a blind date with Yang Zhiping. Luckily, you didn't like him. Otherwise, if things had come to this point, seeing you with such a beast, I would never be able to forgive myself even if I died."
Ji Xingguo felt a wave of fear every time he thought about it.
The thought of the Yang family's ambitions for the factory and their ongoing illegal activities sends chills down my spine.
He didn't know how he had listened to Yang Changhua's slander and thought that a marriage between the two families would be a good thing, strengthening their ties.
If his daughter really ends up with a scoundrel like Yang Zhiping, Ji Xingguo might truly hate himself for pushing his daughter into a fire pit with his own hands.
Just thinking about it, Ji Xingguo felt as if vivid and clear images were flashing through his illusory consciousness.
In those strange, fleeting images of consciousness, the factory was swallowed up by the Yang family father and son, the daughter was beaten and bruised by Yang Zhiping, and Ji Xingguo was so angry that he fell ill and eventually became the target of everyone's condemnation and scorn.
Ji Xingguo was so terrified by the sudden flashes of images that he almost couldn't catch his breath. It was as if he was hallucinating.
Seeing that Ji Xingguo was flushed and out of breath, Ji Wanmei quickly went over to pat his back and give him water, asking worriedly, "Dad, what's wrong? Is your high blood pressure acting up again?"
Ji Xingguo collapsed onto the sofa, took a sip of water, and it took him a while to calm down. He held Ji Wanmei's hand tightly for a long time.
It was as if he wanted the duchy to do this to confirm that his daughter was still in his sight, unharmed and uninjured.
"Dad, don't think like that. There's no way I could be with a scumbag like Yang Zhiping, never."
Ji Wanmei seized the opportunity to say, "If you really feel guilty and uneasy about what happened back then, then after this matter is over, please invite Lei Tingjun to your home for a meal."
“I’ve been with him for so long, and he’s been so good to your daughter, yet you’ve never officially acknowledged him! You haven’t even invited him to a meal.”
