Shi Chen, fearless as ever, asked, "Could it be that they've absconded with the money?"
"Deputy Director Xu was promoted by the president, so it shouldn't be possible, right?" The financial director glanced at Shi Xu.
Thinking of Xu Ziqing's personality, Shi Xu frowned and said, "Check the accounts."
The meeting is adjourned for now.
Shi Chen has not yet put forward his own plan, but it is clear that the embezzlement problem is more urgent, and his matter can only be postponed.
The CFO's concerns are not unfounded.
After a morning of reconciliation by the finance department, the finance director finally reported a figure.
"There is a shortfall of 700 million in the accounts."
Upon hearing this, Shi Xu's expression instantly turned sour.
"700 million? That's enough for me to build three or four fully automated planting bases overseas." Shi Chen was always eager to stir up trouble.
"What should we do now?" the financial director asked cautiously.
"Let's call the police first." Shi Xu regained his composure. "Send the accounting documents to my email."
A deficit of 700 million is not a crippling blow to the Shi Group.
But this is like a slap in the face.
After seeing Shi Xu off, the financial director breathed a sigh of relief.
Ning Yu was sitting in her seat eating a mousse cake when she saw the financial director's expression, her eyes remaining indifferent.
The finance director met Ning Yu's gaze and gave a forced laugh.
Shi Chen hadn't left yet, and reached out to ruffle Ning Yu's hair. "Eating cake during work hours? Trying to slack off?"
Ning Yu kicked the table, moving herself and her office chair aside to avoid Shi Chen's hand, and said calmly, "The work is done."
Shi Chen reached out and touched nothing.
...This younger sister is so boring.
"Take your time eating, I'm leaving now." Shi Chen withdrew his hand, put one hand in his pocket, and followed Shi Xu out.
Ning Yu ate her mousse cake, glanced at her computer, and messaged Cheng Yue: "Did you catch them?"
Orange Moon: [Wu Ni was caught on the spot, and Xu Ziqing has already fled abroad.]
Ning Yu: [Xu Ziqing?]
Orange Moon: [After leaving the Shi family's old house, Xu Ziqing immediately bought a plane ticket and flew abroad; our people couldn't stop her.]
Ning Yu raised an eyebrow slightly.
Did they run away?
Things have become complicated.
...
The matter of a 700 million yuan deficit in the books was quickly reported to the police.
The Shi family, as well as the Shi Group, almost everyone had heard about this.
"700 million? That's a lot of money! Is it even possible to get it back?"
"They've all fled abroad; I think things are going to get tough."
"I heard that Xu Ziqing was the financial deputy director handpicked by President Shi. I never expected her to do something like this... Could it be that President Shi instructed her to do it?"
"Impossible, right?"
"..."
There was much discussion throughout the company.
When Shi Xi heard about this, her eyes widened.
700 million!!!
That's enough for her to make 14 movies!!
That's outrageous!
Shi Xi wanted to ask when the problem could be resolved, but considering that Shi Xu had lost so much money, he must be very busy and heartbroken, so she held back.
When Han Chuan inquired about funding from the Ministry of Finance, the reply was that the project was temporarily suspended due to a funding gap.
Shi Xi: ...
She is as heartbroken as time itself.
night.
Shi Xi had intended to have a good meal to comfort her wounded heart.
As a result, Father Shi said that everyone should go to the old house for dinner.
Who can a broken heart still love?
Sitting in the car, Shi Xi looked at Shi Xu sitting next to her.
His expression remained gentle, showing no signs of anger or impatience.
"Why are you staring at me? What do you want to ask?" Shi Xu looked at Shi Xi, a hint of a smile in his eyes.
"Uh, didn't they catch Wu Ni? Didn't he confess anything?" Shi Xi couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
