After dealing with Hu Linquan's matter, Qing Yan took out her phone and gave instructions, "Tell Lü Zhenhai that no one is allowed to buy the 4 villas and 14 shops he put up for sale."
"Yes, I will relay the message immediately."
Qing Yan's eyes darkened slightly as she had another "surprise" in store for them.
Dawn Group Headquarters.
Upon receiving the news, Xu Nuo wasted no time and knocked on Li Yihan's office door respectfully, reporting, "Boss, there's new activity from the clothing company."
Li Yihan raised his deep gaze, his expression still calm as water. "Who is it this time?"
That small company has been causing disturbances every few days recently. I heard that it's managed by a young girl?
"It's Hu Linquan, sent by the headquarters." Xu Nuo reported truthfully, "He set up an illegal website and instigated more than a dozen employees to place bets. These employees, in order to earn more money, pulled in their relatives and friends, eventually losing everything..."
Li Yihan's gaze deepened.
"He used despicable means to tarnish the innocence of female employees, not just one but several, even taking videos to blackmail them."
"He coerced those employees in desperate need of money to collude with him, betraying the company. Previously, Manager Chen, the head of the purchasing department, the warehouse manager, and the leaders of the fourth and fifth production lines were all greatly harmed and ended up in prison."
"Just by selling the company's waste fabric, he made a profit of 693,780 yuan in a year and falsely reported the entire year's expenses..."
"Before this, he incited employees to sell the company's quality products outside, using substandard fabrics to produce inferior clothing and attaching the company's labels. Most of the money earned went into his pocket..."
"Recently, he sold the company's design drafts to Shuyi, a rival company, and even attempted to shift the blame onto the company's designer, Yin Panpan."
"Although he is currently being questioned at the police station, the company is facing a dilemma."
Upon hearing this, Li Yihan's voice grew low. "What's the dilemma?"
"The problem is that out of the 33 new products we were supposed to launch tomorrow, 23 of them were sold to Shuyi by Hu Linquan. Shuyi has already released these 23 designs ahead of us, and they are already on the market today. In other words, the tens of millions worth of finished products in our warehouse won't be sold anymore." Xu Nuo lowered her head, feeling extremely regretful.
Although all of this was caused by Hu Linquan, the company's losses couldn't be measured in monetary terms anymore.
"What does the company's management say?" Li Yihan asked softly.
"The company is at a loss and doesn't know what to do, but that young girl... during the meeting, she confidently stated that she has a solution. Not only can she prevent the company from losing money and damaging its reputation, but she can also turn the situation around for profit."
To be honest, Xunuo didn't believe the little girl's words, but Li Yihan had a hint of anticipation. Since this little girl took office, she had been creating surprises for them.
"It is said that she entered through the back door?" Li Yihan asked in a cold voice.
Xunuo didn't expect Boss to care about such a trivial matter. She quickly lowered her head and replied, "Yes, and she entered through your family's back door..."
"Hmm?"
"It was personally appointed by Master Li..."
"Surname Qing?"
"Yes."
"... " Li Yihan searched through his mind, but couldn't recall any distant relatives or neighbors with the surname Qing. Could it be that she had exceptional management skills and had won his father's favor, so she was specially hired?
"Education?"
"High school..." After Xunuo uttered these two words, she worried that Boss would question her abilities and hastily added, "But her capabilities are evident, and she is dedicated to the company..."
Take the matter with Hu Linquan, for example. He deceived both the upper and lower levels, falsifying accounts and deceiving the headquarters. Because Boss had countless responsibilities, it was impossible for him to personally oversee every small company. Out of trust in him, Hu Linquan managed to get away with it.
Fortunately, the newly arrived President Qing caught him by the tail, otherwise the company would have suffered even greater losses!
"Has the gift been arranged?" Li Yihan asked aloud.
Xunuo bowed respectfully and said, "The other party refuses to reveal it, and negotiations have yielded no results."
"Who is it?"
"QY said it's someone from the Si family."
The Si family and the Li family were close friends, so Li Yihan couldn't afford to sever ties with the Si family over a necklace worth thirty million.
He could only choose another one.
Xunuo once again opened QY's official link, and Li Yihan's gaze carefully filtered through the options, eventually settling on a four-leaf clover necklace.
The four leaves were set with high-quality emeralds, but unfortunately, it cost only twenty-five million, slightly less than the budget.
"This one." Li Yihan returned the iPad to her. "I have to go home and have dinner with my sister tonight. Try to handle the important tasks this afternoon."
"Yes." Xunuo selected a few important documents and respectfully presented them. "Oh, by the way, Boss, many people know that you have returned to the country and want to invite you to dinner in the next few days. When do you think..."
"Cancel them." Li Yihan felt it was necessary to free up some time to spend with his sister.
On the other side.
Hu Linquan had been crying out his innocence at the police station, claiming that he was coerced by Qing Yan into making the recordings, and that the evidence was purely fabricated by Qing Yan personally.
He also cried out that he wanted to see Li Yuanfu in person, stating that he was a veteran promoted by Li Yuanfu himself and would never do anything to betray the Li family!
The new police officer had never seen such a weeping and shouting old man before, so he reported the situation to Li Yuanfu...
Li Yuanfu and Song Qiaoying happened to be passing by in their car when they heard these words. Filled with anger, they stormed into the interrogation room.
"President Li, you finally showed up. I was planning to smash my head against this wall, but then I thought to myself, wouldn't I be falling into the trap of a traitor?"
Hu Linquan immediately fell to his knees in front of Li Yuanfu, wailing loudly, "You have no idea, President Li. That new girl in the company has been falsely accusing me of all sorts of things. It's been agonizing for me. I still remember your support and kindness from all those years ago. How could I do anything that would betray the Li family or you? She's been bullying me so much!"
Hu Linquan clung to Li Yuanfu's legs, crying uncontrollably. "President Li, you have to save me! Besides you, no one can prove my innocence... Just one word from you... That girl who just came in, she's the one!"
"You mean my precious daughter has wrongly accused you? You want her to go to jail?" Song Qiaoying's face turned cold, exuding an aura of aristocratic aloofness.
Hearing the words "precious daughter," Hu Linquan felt as if thunder had struck him. He thought he must have misheard...
"Madam Li, you've misunderstood. I'm talking about the girl in the company... Not Li Yusha!"
"She is my precious daughter, my own flesh and blood."
Upon hearing Song Qiaoying's words, Hu Linquan's mouth hung open in shock. He forgot to continue crying and protesting...
That girl isn't named Qing Yan?
How could she be the biological child of Li Yuanfu and Song Qiaoying?
Wasn't the beloved daughter of Li Yuanfu and Song Qiaoying named Li Yusha?
Besides, isn't Qing Yan's surname Qing?
