At the beginning, Chen Chun was quite concerned about Xiao Li, and he also placed several people under his command to pay attention to Xiao Li's personal style.
It was discovered that this person was indeed very upright. He did not steal or slack off. He enforced the rules of the workshop very well and his subordinates had never had any safety accidents.
Chen Chun observed him privately for two years before he felt at ease to let go and completely handed over the production base in Jing City to him for management.
As Chen Chun let go for a long time, Xiao Li gradually formed a bad atmosphere in the Beijing base.
It turns out that everyone is afraid of Mr. Shen and always does things with caution.
But after Xiao Li took office, he didn't care about petty thefts at all. Even if he caught them, he would pretend not to see anything and turn a blind eye. Gradually, the people in the workshop became more and more brazen, daring to steal anything from small scraps of wire and steel bars to whole pieces of finished steel bars.
Gradually, more and more people came to the Jingshi base to steal things. Sometimes, 20 to 30 percent of the output could be stolen in a month, causing the company's revenue to drop sharply.
But Xiao Li did not report it, nor did he deal with these people.
Instead, he agreed to cook the books for the finance department, and he did so for nearly ten years.
After raising Song Xin, Chen Chun shifted his focus back to the steel plant. When he checked the accounts, he found something wrong.
But she did not make it public and secretly asked someone to investigate. She found out that over the past ten years, Shen's company had lost at least millions in profits.
At this time, Chen Chun no longer trusted Xiao Li, but she did not touch Xiao Li.
Instead, they continued to secretly investigate where the stolen steel had gone and who had purchased it.
As the truth of the investigation surfaced, Shen Chun discovered that it was Xiao Li who led the acquisition of Shen's Steel workshop at a low price.
He even secretly set up a small business, using the name of Shen's to buy steel at low prices and then sell it at high prices.
Xiao Li also secretly planted more than a dozen of his family members in Shen's Steel. The amount of theft by these people alone would put them in jail for life.
Chen Chun was furious when he learned the truth and directly contacted the public security and procuratorate departments to come and settle the matter.
But Xiao Li pushed all the responsibility aside, and in the end all his relatives were sentenced, except him.
Ling Ju was a little surprised when she heard this. "Didn't Mom find out that he was reselling stolen steel under the Shen Corporation's name? That's considered money laundering, right? Why is he still fine?"
Song Qi continued driving and continued, "He left himself a way out. The small business he secretly opened was under his father-in-law's name. The people who stole things were his relatives, and he never did anything himself.
The other thieves at the factory were afraid of offending Xiao Li, who had a detailed list of their thefts. So they all gave false testimony to prove he hadn't stolen anything. So, his ultimate charge was mismanagement, causing losses to the company. He was fined and released on bail.
Ling Ju frowned, "Song Qi, this matter doesn't seem that simple to me. It's millions of dollars in false accounts and losses, and you're only fined a small amount? That's too light!"
"Yes, that's the problem. But my brother and I were still young at the time, and Song Xin was still in elementary school. The country's economy was very bad in those years, and it was a difficult time. Dad was rarely home because he was traveling around to provide disaster relief. Mom had to take care of the three of us and deal with the steel plant affairs alone, so she was too busy to do anything.
I know there is someone behind this, but I can only give up because I can't find any evidence.
Later, Xiao Li's father-in-law took the blame, and some other people involved in larger amounts of money were also imprisoned for a few years, but were later released gradually.
With the capital accumulated over the years, Xiao Li founded the Xiao Steel Plant. The veterans in his plant were all from the Shen family.
Ling Ju clenched her fists upon hearing this. She had no idea Xiao Li and Chen Chun had such a past. "I didn't expect Mom to have such a hard time. Xiao Li is really going too far. No wonder he knelt down to apologize to your brother! But after what he did, how dare he ask your brother for forgiveness? He even negotiated a condition, saying that if they let him and his son go, he would compensate the Shen family for the rest of his life? That's bullshit."
Song Qi hummed, "So, I didn't tell Mom about this. We both privately agreed that we should swallow up the Xiao Corporation. Didn't Xiao Li want to spend the rest of his life as compensation? We don't want his rest of his life, we just want his steel plant. We want to get back what they owe the Shen Corporation a thousand-fold."
