372: 347 372: 347 Just as Shi Yuqian was about to sign, the office door burst open, and the person who called out to stop him turned out to be Xie Shanli.
“Xie Shanli, what are you doing?” Shi Yuqian put down the pen, his face clearly showing so displeasure.
This abrupt interruption made him feel like he was losing face in front of Liu Hun.
Without a word, Xie Shanli stepped aside to reveal a young man in a sharp suit with a keen gaze.
The man walked into the office and said to Shi Yuqian, “Long ti no see, President Shi.”
“Oh!
It’s Manager Chen!
Hello!
Hello!
Hello!” Upon seeing the young man, Shi Yuqian hurriedly went to greet him and enthusiastically shook his hand.
“President Shi, I heard you have a big deal going on here, is that right?” Young Manager Chen asked Shi Yuqian with feigned ignorance.
“Heh heh!
Manager Chen’s nose is really sharp!” Shi Yuqian said laughingly, while giving Xie Shanli a fierce glare.
It turned out this Manager Chen was Chen Jin, the Executive Deputy General Manager of Hui Le Group, and also the person in charge of the previous collaboration project with Yinyue Group.
On one hand, Shi Yuqian wanted to continue gaining benefits from the three major powerhouses; on the other hand, he didn’t want to lose Liu Hun as a significant client.
He had sharply realized that as long as he cooperated with Liu Hun, it was very likely that Yinyue Group could break free from the embarrassing situation of living off the scraps of the three major powerhouses and beco the fourth biggest entity in Huaxia’s entertainnt industry.
However, now seeing Chen Jin here, he was sowhat worried that Chen Jin might steal away this big client, Liu Hun.
“You flatter too much, President Shi!
I’m here today for only one thing,” Chen Jin said, looking at Shi Yuqian with arrogance.
“What is it?” Shi Yuqian asked with a touch of trepidation in his heart.
“I ask you to refuse to release Shi Bi’er’s album.
It’s as simple as that,” Chen Jin said bluntly to Shi Yuqian.
His tone was clearly that of giving orders, not making a request.
Shi Yuqian was imdiately displeased.
Though his company was small, he needed so dignity in his own office, in front of his employees, and his client.
So, his tone hardened as he said, “I’m afraid this matter needs further consideration.”
“No need for any consideration, just refuse!” Chen Jin’s tone was exceptionally forceful.
“Manager Chen!
It’s too much for you to talk like this in front of our president!” Lin Xiaoxiang stepped forward at this point, bluntly chastising Chen Jin.
“And you think what tone would be appropriate?
And another thing… I think anyone in Yinyue Company has the right to stand up except for you,” Chen Jin sneered at Lin Xiaoxiang.
“What do you an, Chen Jin?” Lin Xiaoxiang really didn’t like Chen Jin’s tone and directly called him by his full na.
“Lin Xiaoxiang!
Stop pretending!
You sold out the company, yet you still put on a front here!” Xie Shanli suddenly interjected, outright accusing Lin Xiaoxiang.
Shi Yuqian was confused and interrupted their dispute, asking, “What on earth are you all talking about?
Xie Shanli, what exactly is going on?!”
“President Shi, yesterday when I was finalizing our last project with Hui Le Group, I discovered Lin Xiaoxiang, who was in charge of this project, betrayed the company’s interests, creating phantom contracts, and yielding 40 percent of the company’s profits to Hui Le Group!” Xie Shanli exclaid indignantly to Shi Yuqian.
“What?
How is that possible?” Shi Yuqian almost leaped to his feet; 40 percent accounted for almost ten million in sum.
“Xie Shanli!
Don’t spout nonsense here, slandering !
I’ve done nothing to let down the company, and though I was in charge of this matter, Wang Ting also supervised this project.
But I assure you I did everything to do right by the company,” Lin Xiaoxiang frantically defended herself, clueless as to why Xie Shanli would brazenly accuse her.
“President Shi, you must believe , there’s a reason why I am here, so you have to face reality,” Chen Jin said in a self-aggrandizing manner.
Liu Hun watched Chen Jin without saying a word; he knew that Chen Jin must have been sent by Xia Huai and that he knew more, but for now, he just wanted to see what kind of performance this clown could put on.
“What do you want?” Shi Yuqian asked, struggling to contain his anger, right when the company was dealing with the Wang Ting scandal and cash flow difficulties.
If such a thing were true, it could spell the end for the company.
“It’s simple!
First, tear up the contract with Liu Hun.
Rest assured, President Shi, our wish to have you tear up the contract with Liu Hun isn’t because we want to work with him; he’s a piece of sh*t.
We just don’t want you to be tainted by him,” Chen Jin said, looking at Liu Hun and publicly insulting him.
“What else?” Shi Yuqian continued to inquire.
“Also, fire Lin Xiaoxiang and hand her over to the police.
Creating dual contracts and endangering the company’s interests constitutes fraud.
Soone from our company has already been imprisoned.
Everything I have done has just been helping President Shi clean house,” Chen Jin said to Shi Yuqian, revealing a look of determination on his face.
“Chen Jin!
Don’t talk nonsense.
Wang Ting was in charge of the entire process; how could I possibly have manipulated anything alone?” Lin Xiaoxiang could hardly believe that Chen Jin would actually suggest to Shi Yuqian that she be handed over to the police.
“Talk nonsense?
Do you think I would make things up when your signature is on the contract?
Also, using soone who has already fled as a shield doesn’t seem quite proper, does it?!” After Chen Jin spoke to Lin Xiaoxiang, he turned to Shi Yuqian and continued, “President Shi, if you don’t do as I say, then our Hui Le Group has the right to declare the contract void.
Not only will the entire project earn not a single penny, but you also won’t get any of your invested funds back.
Think about your company’s current situation before you decide, don’t be foolish!” After speaking, Chen Jin sat down on the sofa with a brazen smile, leisurely lit a cigarette for himself, and waited for Shi Yuqian’s answer.
At this mont, he felt as if he were toying with ants, playing with everyone in the room.
Shi Yuqian weighed the pros and cons.
Although he wanted to beat Chen Jin, he also wanted to break through the predicant by continuing to release albums for Shi Bi’er.
However, he could only compromise given the current situation.
Lin Xiaoxiang was so angry tears spun in her eyes.
She never thought she would be frad, especially by a colleague she trusted.
“President Shi, I don’t have much ti, may I ask if you have co to a decision…”
“Chen Jin!
I advise you not to further abet tyranny, otherwise you will suffer retribution,” Liu Hun stood up at this mont.
He knew that if he didn’t intervene, Shi Yuqian would compromise.
“Look who dares to speak!
Liu Hun, do you know that you’re nothing but a street rat in the entertainnt industry, despised by everyone!
If I were you, I’d tuck my tail and scram!
You dare to lecture ?!” Chen Jin sneered and mocked Liu Hun.
“Sooner or later, I will deal with each of these interest groups, it’s just a matter of ti.
As for you, this flunky…
one last warning, leave now, or you will regret it,” Liu Hun’s eyes began to turn cold.
Clearly, Chen Jin had no idea how foolish his behavior was, not only did he not rein himself in but he also arrogantly boasted, “Liu Hun, I have the contracts!
Now I can do whatever I want!
You want to stand out?
You want to play the hero?
Show what you’re really capable of!”
“Since you’re asking for it, I don’t mind obliging,” Liu Hun said as he glanced at his watch and added, “Ti’s up!”
“Acting all mysterious, Liu Hun, what do you an ‘ti’s up’?” Chen Jin said dismissively.
“Knock knock knock…
knock knock knock…” A series of knocking sounds ca from the door, and several uniford police officers stood at the doorway, asking, “Sorry to disturb you!
Is Ms.
Xie Shanli here?!”
“I…
I am Xie Shanli, what’s the matter?” Xie Shanli felt a chill in her heart.
Suddenly!
Sothing happened that nobody expected.
A woman burst forth from behind the police and, with a “slap,” swung her arm around and fiercely slapped Xie Shanli across the face, sending her to the floor.
The woman, still not satisfied, mounted Xie Shanli, grabbed her by the hair, and violently pulled and tore at her.
The two won wrestled on the ground, their screaming and cursing filling the entire office before a few police officers finally managed to separate them.
The astonished people in the office took a closer look and realized that the woman who had burst out to assault Xie Shanli was none other than the wife of Wang Ting, who had caused a disturbance at the company two days earlier.
“You crazy bitch!
What the hell is wrong with your head!” Xie Shanli, touching the deep scratches on her cheek, knew her face was ruined.
“Slut!
You seduced my husband!
Made him sell the house!
Had him defraud clients!
Tampered with contracts!
Now he’s been locked up!
Are you satisfied now?!” The woman tidied her hair, yelling at Xie Shanli.
Xie Shanli’s eyes instantly beca frantic, and her defiance fell away as she hurriedly said, “What you’re saying…
I don’t understand.”
“Enough!
Ms.
Xu, please stop the commotion; leave everything to us, the police,” the leading officer intervened to stop the won’s verbal altercation, then addressed Xie Shanli, “Miss Xie, we received a report today that Wang Ting, the Yinyue Company’s custor manager suspected of fraud, was hiding in your ho.
We captured Wang Ting from your ho this morning, and based on his confession, you were also involved in the matter.
He has also confessed to another issue involving a project collaboration between the Yinyue Company and the Hui Le Group.
We hope you would cooperate with our investigation.”
“He’s lying!
He’s lying!
I was just his colleague, and I only helped him because he asked to; I have nothing to do with this at all!” Xie Shanli jumped up imdiately, knowing that as long as she insisted the fraud had nothing to do with her, the police would have no case without evidence.
“Do you have evidence?” the police officer questioned Xie Shanli.
“Yes, yes, yes!
I have evidence!” An agitated Xie Shanli began to rush to her office for the contracts, and several officers followed.
“Wow!
This is really unexpected!
A shrew making a scene!
Police arresting people!
Liu Hun, you do know what you’re doing, but I really should thank you.
Do you know why?” said Chen Jin arrogantly, as he approached Liu Hun and poked him with a finger, “I had been planning to call the police on Lin Xiaoxiang, and you’ve actually done a huge favor.
Now that the matter has been handed over to the police, the fake contract can’t be covered up anymore.
Shi Yuqian is out of options and has no choice but to throw in his lot with Hui Le Group!
You really are stupid, stupider than a pig!”
“Heh, is that so?
I’d like to ask, where does your confidence co from?” Liu Hun asked Chen Jin coldly.
