"The company said that early in the morning, Yan Yan called the manager of the production department, the warehouse administrator, the team leader of lines four and five, and even the purchasing department's minister, all into the office..."
Song Qiaoying gently touched his heart. "And then?"
"Do you know why the company hasn't made any progress after a whole year of operation?" Li Yuanfu said, struggling to contain his anger, which once again flared up, making it hard for him to breathe.
"Don't worry, take your time to explain..." Song Qiaoying vaguely felt that something was amiss.
Li Yuanfu made an effort to calm himself. "We have three textile suppliers we cooperate with. The price for every hundred meters of fabric is around 800 yuan. However, the purchasing department's minister submitted a purchasing amount of 1,500 yuan to the headquarters, and they divided the extra 700 yuan among themselves, including the manager, warehouse administrator, team leaders, and some production workers."
Song Qiaoying was surprised. Could such a thing happen?!
"If they had just embezzled 700 yuan, it wouldn't be such a big deal. But the problem is, they embezzled this amount for a whole year! Yan Yan investigated and found out that the total amount involved in this matter reaches tens of millions!"
Upon hearing this, Song Qiaoying was dumbfounded. "They colluded and did something like this!"
"These three textile suppliers transfer money to them every month, proving that they indeed took kickbacks. The purchasing department minister even admitted it himself..."
Li Yuanfu's heart ached with anger. "That's not all. With a hundred meters of fabric, you can make at least seventy to eighty pieces of new products. But when it was entered into the warehouse, there were only thirty to forty pieces left. Do you know where the other fifty pieces went?"
Song Qiaoying shook her head, and Li Yusha also expressed confusion. Both of them were waiting for Li Yuanfu to continue.
"These people, in the second month after the company was established, opened an online store. If a customer placed an order, they would take the goods to a nearby delivery point to sell them. If the customer ordered a large quantity, a delivery person would come directly to our company to collect the goods at our doorstep!"
Song Qiaoying was shocked. "These people have such audacity! Aren't they afraid of surveillance cameras capturing them?"
"They deleted the surveillance footage. They colluded together and had no fear," Li Yuanfu said, unable to believe it himself, but the evidence was conclusive. "It's said that Yan Yan was able to recover the deleted footage and saw all of this..."
Song Qiaoying was utterly astonished. "If it weren't for Yan Yan, how much longer would they have kept it hidden..."
"Not only that, they also hoarded a large amount of inferior fabrics, producing styles identical to the company's, labeling them with the company's logo, and selling them elsewhere. Due to the rough texture of the fabric, many people developed skin allergies, which severely tarnished the company's reputation... The impact was enormous!"
Song Qiaoying was hit hard. No wonder the company couldn't make any money for a whole year. It turned out that these few individuals were up to no good behind the scenes!
Li Yusha thought, it's Quinny again! She deliberately brought her parents here today to play, just when their relationship was starting to heat up, and now their moods were affected by this incident!
Everything she did today was in vain!
Damn Quinny, why does she always have so many problems and keep popping up to ruin the mood!
"What about Hu Linqquan? He was the highest-ranking person before Yan Yan arrived at the company! How could he not know about something like this happening right under his nose?" Song Qiaoying questioned.
"Those few individuals claimed that everything was coerced and manipulated by Hu Linqquan, but we don't know if it's true or not..."
If Hu Linqquan is really the problem, then the company's losses in the past year are not just a simple matter of millions...
"Hu Linqquan is one of the key talents at our headquarters. We sent him there because we believed in his abilities and character..." Song Qiaoying never expected such a thing to happen. Presumably, Hu Linqquan was not unrelated to this.
"But there is very little physical evidence pointing to him, so we can't convict him yet..." Li Yuanfu felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on his heart when he thought about this.
If Hu Linqquan truly had the run of the company, deceiving and manipulating everyone, how much money did their company lose in this past year...
"What if we send reinforcements to Yan Yan?" Song Qiaoying was afraid that their precious daughter would be left unsupported.
But Li Yuanfu wasn't worried about that, "Look, we're here playing ball, and it hasn't been long since Yan Yan took over, but she has already discovered so many issues... Her abilities surpass everyone else! I believe she can handle these."
"Ever since Yan Yan took over the company, it has really put our minds at ease." Song Qiaoying said this and glanced at Li Yusha, "You should learn more from your sister in the future..."
Yan Yan's management skills have long surpassed her age.
It's in her genes, being in business is deeply ingrained, she's outstanding.
On the other hand, Sasa, who has been pampered since childhood, even if she were given a company, she might not be able to manage it as well as Yan Yan.
"Sasa won't take over the company in the future, right? You can continue being a little princess. When the time comes, when it's time to get married, your parents will never treat you unfairly." Li Yuanfu smiled kindly, still treating her as family.
Song Qiaoying also laughed and said, "Your good friend Mu Qing, her sister's dowry was eight billion, plus twelve sets of houses and twelve cars. Don't worry, your grandeur will definitely surpass her sister's."
When Li Yusha heard this, she felt uncomfortable. The Li family is wealthy and influential, but will their grandeur only be slightly greater than Mu Qing's sister's?
On what basis?!
They claimed to treat her like family, but it's obviously fake!
Just think, Qingyan has only been home for a few days, and she already has hundreds of millions in spending money. She even has her own company now, and who knows how much it will be worth in the future!
Last time, her parents even mentioned giving this wild girl some properties!
Money will eventually be spent, only a company has long-term value!
Yet, her parents plan to just give her some money, a few houses, and a few cars, and send her off!
She's not a beggar!
"Sister definitely suffered a lot in the Lu family, that's why she understands so many dark sides of human nature..." Li Yusha suddenly changed her tone, pretending to sympathize, "Dad, Mom, we should treat sister better in the future..."
Hearing Li Yusha's words, Li Yuanfu and Song Qiaoying were reminded of the investigation they conducted. For so many years, Yanyan never had a good life in the Lu family.
Her personality is cold and independent, which must be because no one around cared for her and gave her warmth.
"Yusha is right, I should send some money to Yanyan, let her know the warmth of family..." Song Qiaoying immediately took out her phone and transferred 50 million.
Li Yuanfu also took out his phone, "How much did you transfer? I'll transfer as well... We need to let Yanyan know that she not only has her mother's love but also her father's!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yusha became extremely jealous. Her original intention was to imply to Li Yuanfu and Song Qiaoying that Qingyan grew up in such an environment, her thoughts must be complicated and impure!
Otherwise, how could she see through so many dark sides of human nature?!
But her parents' way of thinking is so different from that of normal people...
