"As for those fishing in troubled waters, I will emphasize once again: the company does not support idle people. Pack your things and leave as soon as possible..."
After several consecutive slaps to the face, Zhang Wen was already feeling the friction and couldn't take it anymore.
She argued, "Chairman Jiang, even if we didn't propose any practical plans, we still have our share of hard work and toil. We are all fearful and diligent workers; you can't just discard us like this after we've served our purpose."
They also understood that pleading for mercy now was likely useless.
Besides, wouldn't it take time to retrieve data and such?
Even if it were retrieved now, it would be impossible to clear the accounts so quickly.
Seeing Zhang Wen still fanning the flames, Jiang Cheng sneered.
He looked at Wang Sheng: "How is the data search going??"
Wang Sheng nodded: "If you need, I can project the data onto the big screen now."
After Jiang Cheng signaled, a set of data was immediately displayed on the screen.
Zhang Wen (Finance Department Supervisor):
13 years of service; in the last 3 years, the cumulative difference in start-of-work red envelopes handled was 128,000 yuan.
Privately received 5% kickbacks from suppliers, totaling 230,000 yuan.
3 payroll errors due to carelessness.
Number of complaints for "arrogant attitude": 17 times.
Last year's reimbursement approval rate was only 43%, far below the industry average of 75%.
Employee satisfaction survey: Finance Department service score ranked last in the entire group.
Liu Min (Finance Department Cashier):
Embezzled three hospitality expenses totaling 170,000 yuan into personal wealth management accounts last year.
Yang Li (Administrative Department Specialist):
Purchasing prices for office supplies were generally 20%-30% higher than market prices.
Value of "lost" equipment like coffee machines and projectors exceeded 50,000 yuan last year.
Attendance records show: late 3 times a week on average.
The whole place was in an uproar.
Gasps echoed throughout the venue one after another.
Zhang Wen, Liu Min, and Yang Li were so shocked they couldn't speak upon seeing this table.
Why could so much be found in such a short time?
Impossible!
And they hadn't even plugged in a data cable, so how was this data projected? This was just too... What these three didn't know was that the Heavenly Calculation of the Security Team could infiltrate the entire network in seconds.
Checking the data of a few ordinary people was simply easy, not to mention a simple task like projecting data onto the big screen.
Seeing the figures of their illicit gains projected on the screen,
Zhang Wen and Liu Min hurriedly denied it.
"I didn't, how was this data made... what proof is there?"
After they finished speaking,
the data page scrolled down, and the big screen changed again.
Jiang Cheng stared at the jumping audit data on the screen.
His expression immediately turned cold.
"Zhang Wen, the'slush fund account' you set up was still buying wealth management products last month, with a yield of 3.2%, 0.7 percentage points higher than the company's demand deposits. You're quite the calculator."
"As for the 'hard work' you mentioned? Look at your attendance records for the last three years: Zhang Wen, late 9.2 times a month and left early 6.7 times on average; Yang Li, took 23 days of personal leave last year, 17 of which were spent traveling out of town; Liu Min..."
Hearing this, Zhang Wen stumbled back half a step.
Her lower back hit the round table behind her.
The wine glass wobbled, leaving a dark stain on the tablecloth.
Liu Min on the side didn't dare to speak anymore.
Jiang Cheng continued, "Wang Sheng, distribute their reimbursement forms and supplier transfer records for the last three years to the department managers, including the old data from before Zhengde merged."
After speaking, Jiang Cheng said to Wang Wei, "Zhang Wen, Liu Min, and Yang Li are suspended pending a group audit investigation. You will lead the team personally and produce a preliminary report by the end of tomorrow. If the data is incorrect, I will hold you accountable."
Wang Wei wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Having been by Jiang Jianmin's side for so many years, he had seen Jiang Cheng several times.
Wang Wei didn't expect that this young man, who usually called him 'Uncle' politely, would have such a heavy aura of a superior when he became his boss.
Wang Wei didn't dare to be perfunctory at all and repeatedly agreed.
After speaking, Jiang Cheng looked at Fang Yuan again, his tone softening slightly. "Supervisor Fang, take the lead in holding a department meeting later to re-examine the procurement contracts from the last three years, focusing on related-party transactions."
"Yes." Fang Yuan's voice trembled slightly.
She suddenly realized.
Jiang Cheng's public display of authority today was not only to stand up for her but also to thoroughly sweep away the accumulated problems of the old system during the critical period of acquisition and integration.
Jiang Cheng's methods were truly not simple.
Jiang Cheng continued to the staff, "Starting today, Jiangtai Group will add an 'anonymous reporting channel.' Any employee who discovers financial issues will receive a reward of 100,000 yuan once the report is verified!"
Gasps rang out in the venue.
Several employees who had been made things difficult for by Zhang Wen clapped excitedly.
Zhang Wen and Liu Min saw several administrative staff who usually liked to gossip exchanging glances, their footsteps unconsciously moving backward.
Several employees who had difficulty with reimbursements because of Zhang Wen stood up directly.
"Mr. Jiang! We want to testify about Supervisor Zhang's embezzlement!"
"Me too..."
"Me too..."
Seeing the colleagues who used to flatter her suddenly turn against her,
the three of them, including Zhang Wen, finally felt afraid.
Since Jiang Cheng could find all this in such a short time, what more did she dare to say?
"Mr. Jiang, I was wrong! I shouldn't have made these mistakes. I'll return all the money, please give me a chance..."
Yang Li and Liu Min also followed suit and begged for mercy, their cries echoing one after another.
Jiang Cheng took two steps back to avoid them.
Seeing this, Wang Sheng immediately winked at the Security Team members standing by.
Several Bodyguards stepped forward and escorted the three of them away.
After Zhang Wen and the others left, the banquet resumed.
Wang Wei and Fang Yuan had no appetite for food at all.
After greeting Jiang Cheng, they hurried toward Jiangtai's headquarters.
The task of distributing red envelopes was handed over to Wang Sheng and the others.
Just then, Zhou Ying also walked in from outside.
She soon found her seat at the main table.
Seeing Zhou Ying walk up to him and pat his shoulder,
Jiang Cheng said in surprise, "Why didn't you call me?"
"I was afraid you were busy. I called my mom, but she didn't answer."
Pulling out the seat next to him, Jiang Cheng signaled Zhou Ying to sit.
Zhou Ying didn't sit down immediately; instead, she smiled and nodded to the others at the table before sitting down.
"Something happened, and Auntie is busy for the moment."
"Ah? What happened?"
Before Jiang Cheng could answer, Chen Xueer, sitting on the side, reached out her hand past Jiang Cheng toward Zhou Ying impatiently.
She gently shook her palm facing up.
"Are you... Zhou Ying??"
Seeing a head pop up from beside Jiang Cheng,
Zhou Ying looked for a few seconds and then asked uncertainly, "You are Manager Chen?"
Seeing Zhou Ying recognize her, Chen Xueer's eyes lit up instantly like two small lamps, and the corners of her mouth almost reached her ears. She leaned forward,
happily reaching across Jiang Cheng to Zhou Ying, "Long time no see."
As if shaking hands across Jiang Cheng was inconvenient, Chen Xueer simply leaned over and half-stood up.
Her whole body was almost leaning over Jiang Cheng's shoulder.
Her wrist moved forward impatiently, the diamonds on her new manicure sparkling under the lights.
When Zhou Ying gently held her hand, Chen Xueer immediately acted as if she had caught some treasure.
She even gently stroked the back of Zhou Ying's hand with her other hand.
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at this action.
He immediately remembered the scene when Chen Xueer first met Zhou Ying; it was much like this...
