Chen Youlong was very happy. He sat down and told the accountant, "Now that the money has been credited, you must do a good job of keeping the accounts. Make sure our building is beautiful and will surpass the two nearby buildings!"
The accountant was Chen Youlong's brother-in-law. Although he was interested in money, he also reminded his brother-in-law to be careful. "Brother-in-law, isn't this money embezzled from Laowan Township's school construction donations? If you use this money, what will happen to Laowan Township when it builds houses and roads?"
"Hey, you don't know the situation over there. Laowan Township is a poor and remote place. Why do they need such good houses and roads? We just need to spend 10,000 or 20,000 yuan to renovate their old school and pave the road with cement!" Chen Youlong had already thought of a solution.
"This is too far from the donation amount, right?" The brother-in-law was still a little hesitant to do it.
"What are you afraid of? I, your brother-in-law, am here to support you!" Chen Youlong waved his hand dismissively. "Don't worry about these things. Go sort out the accounts and find your own construction team. I need to discuss the materials for the office building!"
The brother-in-law agreed and was about to leave when the office door was suddenly pushed open and a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance walked in. This was Chen Youlong's superior.
Seeing the middle-aged man, Chen Youlong was startled and quickly stood up. "What brings you here?"
"Have you touched the donations to Laowan Township?" The middle-aged man went straight to the point without any further ado.
"Uh," Chen Youlong was stunned. Instinctively, he thought the middle-aged man was also going to get a piece of the pie. He quickly whispered, "I want to use this money to renovate our office building. Look at our building, the wall tiles are falling off."
The middle-aged man frowned: "Did you really move?"
Chen Youlong smiled sheepishly, rubbing his hands and saying, "Look, it's just been deposited into our account!"
The middle-aged man sighed, "How foolish! How foolish! If you want to repair the building, you can slowly apply for special funds. Besides, even if you don't repair this house, it will still provide shelter and won't affect your work. Why are you targeting Laowan Township's donations?"
"I'm thinking that the donor doesn't understand the situation in Laowan Township. That place doesn't need very good schools and roads at all. It's better to put the money where it should be used!" Chen Youlong answered confidently.
"Since you've already touched the money, I can't help you!" The middle-aged man looked very tired. He leaned back on the sofa and gestured for the staff waiting outside to come in. "Take Chen Youlong away for investigation. He has already admitted to embezzling funds."
The staff outside walked in with a stern face. When Chen Youlong saw this, he knew that what he had done was wrong. He quickly shouted at the middle-aged man, "Shouldn't I have misappropriated this money? Please tell me something. If it's because of this matter, can't I just return the money?"
But Chen Youlong had no time to regret. The middle-aged man did not give in at all. He just watched Chen Youlong being taken away coldly. Then he asked the people around him, "Where is Hu Hongde?"
"His family said he went into the mountains. I guess he was avoiding Chen Youlong's harassment and didn't want to hand over the donation!" the secretary replied with a smile.
"This kid is quite cunning. Take a few people with you to look for him. Once you find him, make him get back!" The middle-aged man smiled and made arrangements, preparing for the next step.
