Chapter 703 Being Bribed
Although Mu Yuting did not name anyone, Manager Qi felt guilty.
He knew best what he had done.
Previously, the Mu Group acquired the land in the western suburbs, where Uncle Wang lived before the forced demolition, and built a residential community.
The house was completed some time ago, and the next step is decoration.
The Mu Group’s positioning for this community is to develop it into mid-to-high-end fine-decorated commercial housing.
High-quality decoration is the selling point of this house, so the design of the decoration style and the selection of decoration materials are particularly important.
When it comes to decoration style, Mu Group has a professional and experienced team of interior designers.
The procurement of decoration materials is naturally the responsibility of the purchasing department.
Manager Qi is the head of the purchasing department.
Manager Qi is a friend of Mu Yuting's father and has a very good relationship with Mu Xiangan.
He was in the company when Mu Xiangan was managing the Mu Group.
When Mu Yuting was little, Manager Qi often went to his house to play and even held Mu Yuting in his arms.
Manager Qi has been working at the Mu Group for thirty years. Although he doesn't have much ability, he is relatively steady and conscientious, and he doesn't make any major mistakes in his work.
It's the type that has no merits and no faults.
Everyone knows that the purchasing department is a lucrative job, and many people cannot resist the temptation and make mistakes.
After Mu Yuting's observation, he found that Manager Qi had relatively strong self-control.
In addition to the relationship between Manager Qi and his father, Mu Yuting still trusts this person in his heart.
Two years ago, he was made the head of the purchasing department.
Xiao Nuan was about to give birth some time ago, so Mu Yuting didn't go to work much.
He repeatedly told Manager Qi that there must be no carelessness in purchasing decoration materials, and that they must be genuine materials without any fraud.
Since the owner has spent money on the renovation, he must ensure that it is worth the money.
It is said that there is no business without fraud, and businessmen always see profit.
But over the years, Mu Yuting has always remembered what his grandfather and father said:
The foundation of doing business is integrity.
Even though Mu Yuting repeatedly explained and Manager Qi repeatedly assured that there would be no problems.
But Mu Yuting was still not reassured.
Because the investment in this land is relatively large, there can be no problems in any link.
At that time, Ye Chen was busy with another project and couldn't take care of this side.
After the decoration materials are purchased, they will be sent to the engineering department for the decoration construction.
Just in case, Mu Yuting sent A Long to the engineering department to secretly and strictly check the decoration materials.
This is where the problem arises.
Manager Qi embezzled renovation funds, took kickbacks, and used inferior renovation materials.
Two-thirds of the renovation fee went into Manager Qi's pocket.
He thought Mu Yuting didn't come to work and Ye Chen was busy with another project, so he took advantage of the opportunity.
…
After the meeting.
Mu Yuting returned to the office and stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window with a serious expression.
Ye Chen knocked on the door and came in, standing side by side with Mu Yuting.
"Yu Ting, you should handle this matter. After all, he and Uncle Mu have a good relationship."
The Uncle Mu that Ye Chen mentioned is Mu Yuting's father.
Mu Yuting hesitated for a moment and sighed softly.
"Then it depends on whether he tells the truth or not?"
"You mean, this isn't just about corruption and taking kickbacks?"
Mu Yuting nodded.
"To make him take such a risk, he must have been bribed."
Ye Chen immediately said,
"I'll get the computer and check it out."
Assistant He knocked on the door and came in.
"Mr. Mu, Manager Qi is here."
Mu Yuting frowned.
"Let him in."
When Manager Qi came to the office, his face was pale with fear.
After hearing what Mr. Mu said in the meeting, he knew that he could no longer hide what he had done.
"Mr. Mu, I have worked in the company for so many years. Even if I have no merits, I have worked hard. Please forgive me."
Mu Yuting looked at him silently, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
At this time, there was no one saying "I was wrong", and the first sentence was to take credit.
Ye Chen couldn't stand it anymore and said,
"Manager Qi, I just don't understand what it means to have worked hard even if you haven't made any contributions. It's like the Mu Group owes you anything. Has the Mu Group ever treated you unfairly? Didn't they pay you a salary?"
This left Manager Qi speechless.
Manager Qi looked at Mu Yuting who had been silent.
"Mr. Mu, I was obsessed with money and did something wrong. It's all my fault. Can you please consider my friendship with your father and not pursue this matter further and let me go?"
Mu Yuting snorted coldly.
"Since Manager Qi mentioned your friendship with my father, I'd like to ask you a question. Once the materials you purchased are put into use, the potential risks they will pose to the Mu Group are obvious to you, right?"
Mu Yuting's voice was low and stern, with an irresistible majesty.
What does it mean to use inferior decoration materials?
Owners may not notice anything unusual in the short term, but problems will always be exposed.
It's not just one or two families, but the entire community is involved.
At that time, how would the Mu Group explain to the numerous owners?
Who would believe that the Mu Group did not offer any discount on the renovation funds?
By then, the blame will definitely be put on Mu Yuting, and he won't be able to get rid of it even if he wants to.
The good reputation that the Mu Group has accumulated over the years will inevitably be severely impacted and may even be destroyed.
Mu Yuting asked sternly,
"When you did this, did you ever think about your friendship with my father? Did you ever think about leaving a way out for the Mu Group?"
In the February weather, Manager Qi's forehead was covered with sweat. He knew that he would not be able to escape this time.
There was a plea in the trembling voice,
"Mr. Mu, I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. I will return all the money for the materials. Mr. Mu, please forgive me."
Mu Yuting's expression gradually became stern.
"I'm very curious, what benefits did the people behind you give you to give you the courage to take action against the Mu Group?"
Manager Qi was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Mu Yuting to ask this question, and panicked.
"Mu, Mr. Mu, what do you mean by the person behind the scenes? I don't understand what Mr. Mu means."
Mu Yuting's eyes became more and more sharp.
"Manager Qi, I've found out and told you, it's not the same thing."
While they were talking, Ye Chen had already taken the computer and his fingertips were flying across the keyboard.
Manager Qi naturally knew about Mu Yuting and Ye Chen's cruelty and methods, so he got scared.
"Mr. Mu, I'm telling you."
It turned out that Mr. Jiang Sanye, the mortal enemy of the Mu Group, bribed Manager Qi with 200 million yuan to let him make changes to the decoration materials this time.
As long as this batch of materials is used, Mu Yuting will never be able to wash himself clean even if he jumps into the Yellow River.
Mr. Jiang Sanye wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to create a public opinion storm and make the Mu Group disappear completely in Jiangcheng.
Manager Qi has also thought of a way out for himself.
Once something goes wrong with the Mu Group, Mu Yuting will not have the energy to hold him accountable.
He took 200 million and went to any country to enjoy his old age.
Where can Mu Yuting find him?
Now that the truth has been revealed, it's time for Manager Qi to wake up from his sweet dream.
"Mr. Mu, I've said everything I need to say, without hiding a single word. He gave me 100 million first, and said he'd give me another 100 million after the deal was done. I really couldn't resist the temptation. Mr. Mu, you can hit me and scold me, but I beg you to let me go. I have parents above me, a wife in the middle, and children below me. I'm doing this for the sake of my family so they can live a prosperous life."
Manager Qi said this with sincerity.
I made the mistake for my family. If you, Mr. Mu, punish me again, you will be unreasonable.
At this time, Ye Chen found a photo.
It was an intimate bed photo of Manager Qi and a young girl.
