Double evil in the business district

Chapter 229: New Scene of Reform: Xiao Yue's Opportunity

The magnificent banquet hall was filled with clinking glasses and laughter, celebrating the phased success of Xiao's enterprise restructuring.

However, behind this lively scene, an undercurrent is quietly surging.

After the restructuring, Xiao's enterprise has been revitalized and all its businesses are thriving.

As the core figure of the reform, Xiao Yue immediately devoted himself to the new development plan.

However, some old employees who originally held power are dissatisfied with the changes brought about by the reform.

They secretly colluded and spread rumors in an attempt to hinder Xiao Yue's plan.

"Mr. Xiao, I think this project is too risky. Would you like to reconsider it?" Marketing Manager Li frowned as he looked at the plan handed over by Xiao Yue.

"Yes, Mr. Xiao, the company has just stabilized, so we shouldn't act rashly." Another department head echoed.

Xiao Yue naturally understood their concerns, but she knew even more clearly that if Xiao's company wanted to truly get out of its predicament, it must boldly innovate and open up new markets.

These plans were finally finalized after careful consideration and repeated discussions with Shen Ting.

"I know everyone's concerns," Xiao Yue said firmly, trying to dispel their doubts.

However, her explanation did not receive the expected response.

The atmosphere in the conference room was still depressing. Several department heads looked at each other, but no one was willing to be the first to stand up and support her.

Xiao Yue couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in her heart. She knew that there must be someone secretly obstructing her.

But she had no evidence and couldn't identify these people.

Feeling bored, Xiao Yue decided to go see Grandpa Xiao.

Although Grandpa Xiao is conservative, he has always loved her.

She hopes to get some support and encouragement from her grandfather.

Arriving at Grandpa Xiao's study, Xiao Yue told him the company's situation and his own plans.

"Grandpa, I know you have been worried about me, but I am not a child anymore. I am capable of managing the company well." Xiao Yue looked at Grandpa Xiao firmly, hoping to get his understanding.

Grandpa Xiao was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Xiaoyue, Grandpa believes in your ability, but you also have to understand that Xiao Enterprises is not yours alone, you have to consider the overall situation."

Xiao Yue's heart sank. She understood that her grandfather still did not approve of her plan.

"Grandpa, are you just going to watch the company go downhill?" Xiao Yue's voice was choked with sobs.

"I……"

Just when Grandpa Xiao was about to say something, there was a knock on the study door.

"Come in." Grandpa Xiao said in a deep voice.

The study door was pushed open and a familiar figure appeared at the door.

"Shen Ting?" Xiao Yue looked at the person in surprise.

Shen Ting nodded slightly at Xiao Yue, then turned to Grandpa Xiao and asked respectfully, "Mr. Xiao, can I talk to Xiao Yue alone?"

Grandpa Xiao looked at Shen Ting deeply, finally nodded, stood up and left the study.

"Yueyue, I have something to say to you." Shen Ting walked to Xiao Yue and gently held her hand.

However, before Shen Ting could speak, there was a sudden noise outside the door, followed by a panicked voice outside the door: "Mr. Xiao, it's not good..." "Mr. Xiao, it's not good!

Something happened in the Finance Department!

"Outside the door, Xiao Employee A's voice was extremely anxious, interrupting what Shen Ting was about to say.

Xiao Yue's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

"What happened?

Xiao Yue walked quickly to the door, tightly grasped Xiao Employee A's arm, and asked anxiously.

Xiao Employee A took a breath and said hurriedly: "Someone reported...

Report to the CFO...

Using public funds...

Xiao Yue suddenly felt dizzy. The financial director was an old man promoted by Grandpa Xiao. He had worked in the company for decades and had always been honest and loyal. How could he suddenly...

At this time, a group of employees walked out of the conference room one after another. They looked at each other, their faces full of shock and anxiety.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Employee A took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said loudly: "Boss Xiao, we believe you!

We have all seen that the company is getting better and better under your leadership!

Those old guys want to hinder the company's development, and we will be the first to disagree!

"

Behind him, more and more employees stood up. They had all witnessed the tremendous changes that had taken place in Xiao's Enterprise under the leadership of Xiao Yue during this period, and had personally felt the company's revitalized vitality.

They trust Xiao Yue and are willing to support her.

"That's right, Mr. Xiao, we believe you!"

"Those who spread rumors and cause trouble will definitely be punished!"

The voices of the employees rose one after another. Xiao Yue looked at the sincere and determined faces, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

She knew that she was not fighting alone, and that there were so many people standing behind her, supporting her and believing in her.

Shen Ting looked at the scene in front of him, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

He patted Xiao Yue's shoulder gently and said softly, "Yueyue, don't worry, I'll take care of everything.

"

As night falls, the lights are on.

Shen Ting took Xiao Yue for a walk by a quiet lake in the suburbs.

The moonlight fell on the lake like silver light, and the breeze blew, causing ripples.

"Ting...

Xiao Yue snuggled gently beside Shen Ting, feeling the warmth and strength coming from him.

"Don't worry, Yueyue, everything will pass.

"Shen Ting held Xiao Yue's hand and gently stroked the back of her hand, as if giving her strength.

"But……

Grandpa...

Xiao Yue hesitated to speak, as Grandpa Xiao's opposition had always been a source of worry for her.

"Believe me, I will convince him.

" Shen Ting said in a firm tone, "Xiao Enterprise needs you, and I need you too.

"

It was a short sentence, but it flowed into Xiao Yue's heart like a warm current.

She raised her head and looked into Shen Ting's deep eyes, her heart filled with emotion and determination.

“Thank you, Ting.”

"Silly boy, why are you still saying thank you to me?

" Shen Ting scratched Xiao Yue's nose lovingly, "It's getting late, let me take you home.

"

"Um."

The two of them walked side by side by the lake, the moonlight stretching their shadows very long...

Back in the car, Shen Ting suddenly handed Xiao Yue a file bag, "There is some information in it that may be useful to you.

"

Xiao Yue took the file bag puzzledly, "What is this?"

Shen Ting smiled mysteriously, "Open it and you'll know."

Xiao Yue opened the file bag, which contained a detailed financial statement and some photocopies of documents.

"This is..." Xiao Yue looked up at Shen Ting in surprise.

Shen Ting started the car. "Let's go back and see." He paused, a meaningful smile on his face. "Maybe we can catch the turtle in the jar..."

After Xiao Yue returned home, he immediately opened the file bag and carefully read the information inside.

The financial statements provided by Shen Ting were extremely detailed, even down to the whereabouts of every penny.

She keenly discovered that the destination of the embezzled public funds by the financial director was actually a shell company that had no business dealings with Xiao's Enterprise.

Xiao Yue's intuition told him that this matter was definitely not that simple.

She immediately called Lawyer Chen and asked him to help investigate the company's background.

At the same time, she contacted Consultant Lin, hoping that he could analyze the real purpose of the financial director's embezzlement of public funds from a professional perspective.

Lawyer Chen's investigation results came out quickly. This shell company was established less than half a year ago, with a registered capital of only tens of thousands of yuan, and the legal representative was an unknown little person.

But what's strange is that this company's monthly turnover is as high as several million.

Meanwhile, Consultant Lin also received a piece of news that shocked Xiao Yue.

According to his analysis of the financial statements, the public funds embezzled by the financial director were not used for extravagant enjoyment, but for purchasing a new type of material.

This new type of material is exactly what Xiao's company urgently needs, and it is also the key to the project that Xiao Yue is actively pursuing!

"Could it be..." A bold guess suddenly flashed through Xiao Yue's mind, "Someone wants to use the Financial Director to prevent me from getting this project?

"

In order to confirm his guess, Xiao Yue summoned several confidants including Manager Li overnight and carefully inquired about the situation within the company.

Sure enough, she learned from Manager Li that there had been some rumors about her in the company recently, saying that she was nepotism and suppressing old employees, and some even said that she wanted to take over Xiao's enterprise for herself.

"It seems that my opponent can't wait to make a move." Xiao Yue's eyes flashed with a cold light, "Since you want to play, then I will play with you!

"

The next morning, Xiao Yue brought the collected evidence and went directly to Grandpa Xiao's study.

She told Grandpa Xiao everything about the financial statements, company investigation reports, and the sources of the rumors.

Grandpa Xiao was a little unconvinced at first, thinking that Xiao Yue was making a big deal out of nothing.

But when he saw the solid evidence, his face turned pale.

He never imagined that the old man he had promoted would actually betray him and Xiao's enterprise!

"That's unreasonable!

This is really unreasonable!

"Grandpa Xiao was so angry that he was shaking all over, "I will call them over right now and confront them face to face!

"

Xiao Yue had long expected Grandpa Xiao to do this, so she stopped him and said calmly, "Grandpa, now is not the time to alert the enemy.

We must have solid evidence to catch them all!

"

Grandpa Xiao took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart, "Okay, Xiaoyue, you tell me what to do, Grandpa will listen to you!

"

Xiao Yue revealed his plan in detail.

She decided to play along and spread the word that she had given up the project, then secretly sent someone to follow the financial director to see who he was in contact with.

Everything is going according to Xiao Yue's plan.

The financial director was fooled. He thought Xiao Yue had given up the project, so he relaxed his vigilance and secretly came to a private club on the outskirts of the city.

Xiao Yue and Shen Ting, along with their men, had been waiting outside the club for a long time.

They saw with their own eyes that the financial director walked into the club, and the person who met him was...
