"Goodbye, Mr. Gap!"
With a chorus of goodbyes Gap sent off all the employees in the office, he began to count some of the books and left a record of his inspection after putting them back together and locking the safe and the office door before leaving.
It was part of his daily routine, he didn't really need to do it but he did it again, he felt it was needed to at least make sure that even if something went wrong it could be traced back to a specific time and person who handled it quickly.
The moment the lights went out in the empty room, the reserved smile of the "group partner" on his face disappeared along with the light, and was replaced by a sense of irritation, a sense of worry.
After a meeting with President Neo, he had learned some more details of the internal situation, which stabilized his mood a little, but another mood was brewing.
In fact, before the end of the day, the president's secretary had informed Gap again, telling him to go to his office, that Mr. Neo wanted to see him.
Gap saw Mr. Neo in the president's office after straightening up his attire, Mr. President was very polite and gave him a Solid Color and handed him a task.
It was just a task that wasn't that good.
"You know, I had a bit of a falling out with the mayor, and the governor not too long ago!" , was what President Neo said at that time in his office.
As a subordinate, Gap wasn't quite fit to say anything other than nodding his head, while Neo smiled and continued, "So my application to move out of the state will definitely be met with difficulties, they will definitely try to do everything they can to prevent us from relocating smoothly, no matter what it is!"
After saying this President Niall paused slightly, after a while he continued, "Gap, you're a very motivated young man, I've heard that you've often taken the initiative to work overtime all night, and you're also very united with your coworkers, that's a good thing, and I'm sure you've been rewarded by becoming a partner in the group."
"The next thing I need you to do is a chance to prove your worth to all of us, they will surely come to check the books, you have to make sure that there are no mistakes in these books, at least even if some problems happen, they are not out of your power, can you do it?"
Faced with such a question, what else could Gap do but nod his head?
Even if he was actually a little bit weak, he could only hold on.
Neo then proceeded to tell him that if he was able to solve this problem, when he waited for the new place, he would propose to the board of directors that Gap be made the senior partner of the group of companies, and that he could sit on the board of directors.
That statement didn't give Gap as much motivation as it had before, but of course he pretended to be outwardly excited and eager, positively assuring him that he would be able to fulfill President Neo's mandate.
The dim light of the underground garage gave him some inexplicable trepidation, and his hands were a little less than obedient, dropping his car keys on the floor as he opened the door, and then on the footrest as he prepared to insert them into the lock cylinder by the steering wheel.
He didn't know why he had a kind of inexplicable panic, as if there was something in his heart that was frantically rattling around, so that he would suddenly lose all his strength.
Suddenly bursting with emotion he slapped the steering wheel hard, as if venting.
But the sudden honking sound immediately afterward startled him!
In this quiet to deathly silent basement, the sudden sound of the siren came too suddenly, so suddenly that he shivered for a moment.
Somewhat lumbering on the steering wheel for a while, the outburst of emotions gradually collected, and only then did he pick up the key, insert it into the lock cylinder, and start the car to slowly drive towards the exit.
In a place like the headquarters building of the Ristoan Group of Companies, the security guards in the parking lot were of course very familiar with every vehicle parked here, and usually when the security guards in the booth saw Gap's car entering or exiting, they would directly raise the barriers without needing him to stop.
But today was different, when his car reached the railing, the railing didn't even go up, and what made him feel a little surprised was that the security guard, who never left the post, walked out of the post.
He knocked on the window, and Gap froze for a second or two before he rolled down the teal-colored glass.
"Mr. Gap?" , the security guard glanced at the book he held in his hand and then at Gap, as if in recognition.
It was an unfamiliar security guard, Gap nodded, "Can I help you?"
The security guard sketched in his book, at least from Gap's point of view he should have, he looked up showing a mouthful of white teeth, "No sir, I'm familiarizing myself with my new job, I'm sorry for the delay!"
His gaze swept quickly over the back seat of Gap's car before he withdrew it, "I'll raise the bar, have a good night, Mr. Gap!"
Gap nodded and without rolling up the glass, drove straight out of the underground parking lot.
The summer heat was dry even at night, the dry wind made Gap, who was driving, rip off his tie, he felt irritable, something very specific was keeping him restless for a moment.
Fear, panic, hatred, disgust, anger ...
The plethora of negative emotions made him sensitive and irritable, something that had started to happen since he and Niall had been talking alone.
In fact, he knew very well that this was the biggest crisis of his life, when a local government moves to use the power of the state to do something something that is basically impossible to do.
President Neo wanted him to make sure that these accounts were okay, and there was a good chance that he would be able to do that, he could make the group company's accounts bleach and not find too many flaws, but he couldn't do anyone else's.
It's a very simple truth, suppose they sell a hundred items to another company and nothing is wrong with the accounts, but there's nothing he can do to change the books of this input company.
Whether it is a hundred pieces of merchandise, how much each piece of merchandise costs, when it was imported, and who the handler is, can be found out as soon as it is checked from this other company.
If all of this has been colluded, then check the bank flow.
Individual changes in the accounts no problem, check the whole, the whole no problem, check the time period, the time period of no problem, and then to the next layer of tracing, as long as there is a problem in the books there is a certain possibility that they will be found!
Previously, he can be confident that he handled the accounts without any problems, which is all based on the principle that Ristoan is the pillar industry in Sabine, the prevalence of local protectionism so that Ristoan Group even if there is a little bit of a problem, in the local protectionism will not have a problem.
But once lost this layer of the most important shell, there are many things will be full of changes.
The simplest truth, HENG HUI Group fell before anyone would not expect it will suddenly collapse, all their department managers are the most outstanding, the best set of people in the country and even internationally.
Including their financial professionals, and one of them even appeared in the early version of the professional textbooks.
But even so, they couldn't carry the Federation system's investigation, could Ristoan resist?
He didn't know, all he knew was that he was so scared right now he couldn't even concentrate on driving!
It was only after nine o'clock in the evening that Gap drove back home, after opening the door he walked towards the upper floor a little tired, he wasn't interested in anything.
Vera, who was sitting on the couch and was watching TV, glanced back at Gap and asked with some surprise, "Did you get your ass kicked?"
Gap's eyes had a noticeable circle of bruises, and the second button on his collar had been ripped open along with a small half-piece of cloth, a first for this sorry state of affairs.
Even if Vera didn't want to bother him, she couldn't help but ask the question.
Gap snorted and shook his head as he headed upstairs, and as he was about to close the door to his bedroom, he argued, "It wasn't getting beat up, I got into a fight."
There was a proud tone in his voice, inexplicably prideful, and Vera quickly focused back on the television program; the fact that he was still able to argue back to himself meant that things weren't too bad for Gap.
In fact, he'd just had a bit of a run-in with the car behind him while waiting for a stoplight, and when the light went green he was still thinking about work when the horn behind him started thinking non-stop immediately afterward, interrupting his thoughts.
With some annoyance he poked his head out and yelled slightly and made a gesture known throughout the Federation before the honking of the car behind him stopped.
At no time in the past would Gap have acted in such a way that seemed to him to lack breeding, but today he suddenly couldn't help himself.
A man with bare shoulders and a full beard pulled open the driver's door and stepped out, and if it had been normal Gap would have slammed the gas and skidded away.
But today he wasn't in the right mood, and he didn't do that, opting to turn off the engine and ...
Maybe it was the iron fist of reality that he received that made him realize that there were a lot of things that he had no way to fight back against, and at the same time, he also figured out one thing, if something really went wrong, the first ones to go down would be the president of Neo and the members of the board of directors.
He was just a poor accountant, he had no choice.
After taking a beating, he seemed to feel a lot better, some things he couldn't think of were not to be thought of, and he even hummed a little song when he took a shower.
After the bath Gap wearing pajamas directly into the study, he opened the safe, looking at the safe should have been disposed of copies, some hesitation.
Once the "work" began to enter the process, things left here may be a little dangerous, he hesitated to dispose of it, or another place to save.
In addition to these, there were other things in the safe that needed to be moved, some related to the company, some not.
After making a list, he went into the living room and sat on the couch, looking at his wife.
The reason the management was able to get him to revise the books was also because he had a stable family, a beautiful wife, and a cute child, and such a person would do his best to protect his family, even if it meant sacrificing himself if necessary, to keep the secret.
"I need your help, Vera!"
