Chapter 2098: The Ga Between the Higher-ups
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Wang Ning’s eyes shifted slightly, as if she agreed with Lin Yi’s reasoning.
“President Lin, give your email. I’ll go back and gather the information, then send it to you.”
“Sure.”
Lin Yi handed Wang Ning his business card. “My email is on it. Just send it there.”
“Okay.”
After finishing his conversation with Wang Ning, the latter left Shen Shuyi’s office stealthily, almost like a thief.
Lin Yi rested his head on one hand, waiting for Wang Ning’s ssage.
Wang Ning worked quickly. In less than ten minutes, she had sent all the information over.
Lin Yi glanced through it briefly. Apart from their promotion histories, the file even included details such as graduation schools and ID numbers.
Lin Yi thought to himself, it was fortunate that Wang Ning was the vice president of human resources. If it had been soone else handling this, they wouldn’t have been able to uncover so much information, and definitely not this quickly.
Playing with his phone, Lin Yi forwarded the email to Qiu Yuluo and imdiately gave her a call.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m in the office. I need to verify so information about the Freemasons,” Qiu Yuluo replied.
“By the way, I just got an email from you. What did you send ?”
During the call, Lin Yi could hear the clicking of a mouse as Qiu Yuluo worked.
“It’s so people’s information. Set aside what you’re working on and help investigate these people. See if you can dig up any dirt on them, and the faster, the better.”
“Where did you get all this?”
Qiu Yuluo seed surprised after seeing the content of the list.
“What’s the big deal? Why such a strong reaction?”
“These people aren’t simple. A lot of them are big shots from Yanjing’s elite circles,” Qiu Yuluo said. “One of them, Li Zheng, even knows my dad, but he doesn’t seem all that clean.”
“That’s exactly what I want you to look into—find as much as you can.”
“These people from the Yanjing circle are all dirty. You’ll definitely find sothing on each of them,” Qiu Yuluo said.
“But why are you looking into them? Did they cross you?”
“Sothing like that. Just help look into it, starting with the highest-ranking ones.”
“Alright, leave it to ,” Qiu Yuluo said while still clicking her mouse.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now.”
“Ok.”
After ending the call with Qiu Yuluo, Lin Yi put away his phone and left his office, heading toward the eting room.
The soundproofing was excellent, so it was impossible to hear what was happening inside from outside the door.
He wasn’t sure if the information he was gathering would be useful in the end, but having more intel could only work in his favor.
Lin Yi didn’t just wait idly. He pulled over a chair and sat by the eting room door, waiting for Shen Shuyi to co out.
Ti passed slowly. Around 5:30 in the evening, the door to the eting room opened, and Shen Shuyi stepped out with a stern expression on her face.
Lin Yi stood up and smiled.
“Aunt Shen, didn’t you say the eting wouldn’t end until six? How co you finished half an hour early?”
“There was no point in continuing. Let’s head back to the office first.”
This ti, Shen Shuyi’s face was cold, clearly showing how upset she was.
It was the first ti Lin Yi had seen her display such emotion.
“President Shen, we believe that the investnt project in Feizhou is a bottomless pit. The group has already invested more than 40 billion yuan, and there’s been no return at all. That’s why I’m firmly against continuing this project. As for the trillion-dollar plan you ntioned, I think we should terminate it imdiately.”
The speaker was a middle-aged man, around the sa age as Shen Shuyi.
However, due to differences in appearance and deanor, Shen Shuyi looked like she was in her early forties, while the man looked more like he was in his sixties.
The man’s na was Li Zheng, and he was a senior vice president and CFO of Huaran Group, the sa position as He Yuanyuan.
Lin Yi tilted his head and glanced at Li Zheng who was speaking, and quickly figured out his identity.
This was Qiu Yuluo’s father’s friend with questionable morals.
However, continuing to discuss this issue after the eting had ended seed quite disrespectful toward Shen Shuyi.
This also showed that this balding man really didn’t have much respect for her.
“I’ve already said during the eting that this is a long-term investnt plan. The future returns will far exceed what we currently see.”
“I acknowledge that these projects have returns, but the tiline is too long, and it will tie up the group’s ability to invest in future opportunities.”
Li Zheng persisted, unwilling to back down from his stance.
“President Shen, I hope you’ll take my advice seriously. If you continue down this path, Huaran Group won’t be able to maintain its position as the leader among the four major state-owned enterprises.”
This ti, the speaker was an older man, with half of his hair already white, but he appeared energetic and sharp.
The man’s na was Zhong Yuguo, another senior vice president of Huaran Group, holding a position similar to Li Zheng’s.
However, since Li Zheng was also the group’s CFO, he held more power within the company than Zhong Yuguo.
But outside the company, Zhong Yuguo’s background was stronger than Li Zheng’s, making them more or less equals within the group.
“Is your goal simply the vanity of being the leader among the four major enterprises?” Shen Shuyi turned to look at the other executives.
“Besides, the eting is already over. If you have any further issues to discuss, save them for the next eting. We’re outside the eting room now, and you represent Huaran Group’s image. You should be mindful of your words and actions.”
Shen Shuyi had never felt so humiliated before. These people had completely disregarded her authority!
“I believe that even at the next eting, we’ll still hold our position. Delaying won’t change anything,” Li Zheng said.
“If President Shen doesn’t change her stance on this matter, we’ll report it to the higher-ups. I hope you’ll seriously consider our opinions.”
“Are you threatening ?” Shen Shuyi asked calmly.
“How could we be? After all, we’ve worked together for over ten years. We just want what’s best for the future of the group, which is why we’re so adamant about this issue.”
After speaking, Li Zheng turned to the others. “Don’t you all agree with ?”
“Director Li’s view is correct. I still think we can’t risk trillions of capital on sothing so uncertain,” said a bald man.
“If I’m not mistaken, President Shen has held this position for seven or eight years now. If she’s developed an autocratic style, that would be unfortunate,” Zhong Yuguo said.
“You have to rember, Huaran Group doesn’t belong to any one person. No one can use the group’s resources to serve their own interests.”
