210: Chapter 210: The President’s Tactics!
President’s office.
After hanging up the call, Tang Xiao’s face was extrely gloomy.
Tang’s Chemical Industry, a subsidiary of Tianyuan, was the group’s most important high-tech enterprise.
Over the years, tens of billions of funds had been invested, and its profits had been increasing in recent years.
Aerospace, ship missiles, cars, high-speed trains…
The orders for composite materials were growing, and just when it looked like they would help the group achieve significant growth in performance, Huo Bin had actually caused a problem.
To make things worse, he even threatened to jump from a building, which would definitely cause turmoil in the stock market if it got out.
And what was even more infuriating was…
Wu Jie and Wang Taixiong had actually colluded!
Tanglong Culture dia had been performing exceedingly well over the years.
Although Wang Taixiong had made significant contributions, he had been secretly colluding with the Mu and Fang Families to launder money through film production.
Small-ti sches were one thing, but laundering tens or hundreds of millions…
Using the na of the Tang Family for such dealings, Tang Xiao had long wanted to investigate him.
However…
Wang Taixiong was always cautious and extrely careful; no evidence could be found, neither openly nor covertly.
In contrast, Wu Jie, the guy who didn’t play by the rules, had sohow managed to get involved with Wang Taixiong.
But Wu Jie didn’t know that the mobile phones provided to the Supervision Departnt all had a backdoor program.
The program used the phone’s location data to cross-reference the database’s location data for each subsidiary.
Once a match was confird, it would start recording and sending the information.
The purpose was to prevent collusion between the people of the Supervision Departnt and those of the subsidiaries during auditing inspections.
This practice was Tang Xiao’s continuation of her military experience.
The program had been in place since the establishnt of the Supervision Departnt, but only the father and daughter of the Tang Family knew about it.
It was just that…
Cautious people are nurous among the wrongdoers.
Those who truly intended to do misdeeds would either turn their phones off or not carry them at all.
So, for a long ti, this program hadn’t played much of a role.
But Tang Xiao hadn’t expected that Wu Jie, the new director, apparently wasn’t familiar with spy movies or the like.
He not only kept his phone on, but also carried it with him and talked to Wang Taixiong in great detail.
So…
How Wu Jie successfully persuaded Wang Taixiong, Wang Taixiong’s sches, and the terms he used to entice Wu Jie,
As well as Wu Jie’s selection of female artists, how the entertainnt circle laundered money, the luncheons with actresses accompanying drinks…
Tang Xiao knew it all.
All the effort without a place to find it unexpectedly ca easily!
“If Wu Jie was seducing Wang Taixiong into confessing without coercion, then he is truly clever!”
“On the other hand…
he’s simply a wolf in sheep’s clothing!”
Tang Xiao patiently continued to eat while listening in real-ti to what Wu Jie was discussing with others.
anwhile.
Wu Jie had no idea that his phone was continuously ‘leaking secrets.’
Tang Xiao had ordered both of them to be brought back, giving them only half an hour…
Damn!
No gourt food, no fun with the beautiful actresses!
So as soon as he got into the car, Wu Jie started cursing Huo Bin.
“Dammit!
If you were fine, why the hell would you jump?”
“Now look what you’ve done, you’ve angered President Tang so much that he insists I personally escort you to the group headquarters!”
“It’s bad enough I don’t get to score with the girl, but now I can’t even have a decent lunch.”
Wu Jie was furious and wished he could slap Huo Bin twice.
The guy got into the car with his head drooping, motionless like the living dead.
On the other hand, Wang Taixiong suddenly questioned:
“Strange, it’s one thing for President Tang to have him brought in, but why am I also being called?
Could it be that sothing’s happened to ?”
Wu Jie snorted coldly, “Nonsense!
Yu Hui and his team haven’t found any issues with your company.
I actually think that since you’re not at your own company working during office hours, and instead are here to see soone jump, doesn’t it make your relationship with him seem rather special?”
Wang Taixiong exclaid loudly, “But I have no connection with him, we haven’t colluded, everything was upright and honest!”
“Then what the hell are you scared of!”
As he spoke, Wu Jie handed the car keys to Wang Taixiong:
“At the intersection up ahead, have your secretary get out and drive my car back to the group headquarters, to parking spot A03.
Don’t get it wrong!”
Wang Taixiong laughed playfully, “Director Wu is really aweso!
Just from this parking spot, it’s clear that you rank as the third in the company!”
“If one day I can park in A01, it won’t be too late to praise as aweso!”
Wu Jie snorted coldly with a chuckle.
Although it made Wang Taixiong and Huo Bin jealous once, and the system rewarded him with more than three thousand energy points.
But Wu Jie always felt so unease, his intuition telling him that the trip back was not safe.
…
On the computer screen, the red marker of the mobile location was getting closer and closer.
By the ti Wu Jie and the others entered the headquarters building, Tang Xiao decisively turned off the remote monitoring program.
Before long, Xie Wanjun arrived with her people.
The mont Wang Taixiong walked in, he was all smiles.
“President Tang, good day!”
Huo Bin, still lowering his head, didn’t make a peep.
Wu Jie pulled over a chair to sit down first and glanced at the icy Tang Xiao, feeling increasingly uneasy.
This was a sign that a tempest was brewing!
“Please, take a seat!”
Tang Xiao’s gaze locked onto Huo Bin, and as soon as Xie Wanjun and the other secretaries left after serving tea and water, she imdiately snapped coldly:
“Mr.
Huo, you have the courage to attempt suicide by jumping off a building, but not the guts to look up?”
The mont Huo Bin lifted his head, his face wore a mournful expression:
“President Tang, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have violated regulations and discipline.
My jumping was only because…”
Tang Xiao raised her hand to silence him, “I don’t want to hear this nonsense.
In light of your many years of hard work and no small rits, I can overlook the responsibility, but you must take the initiative to resign.
Think of a reason yourself!”
“Ah?
Resign?
I…”
“What?
Do you still want to negotiate?” Tang Xiao’s voice suddenly rose.
Huo Bin lowered his head, “Thank you, President Tang, for your forgiveness.
I’ll head to HR right away!”
Wang Taixiong was sitting on the side, sipping his tea lightly, but with furrowed brows, deep in thought.
Huo Bin’s issue wasn’t that serious, but to be dismissed so lightly?
“Mr.
Wang!”
Wang Taixiong trembled at the call from Tang Xiao.
After all, a guilty conscience!
“President Tang, what are your orders?” Wang Taixiong leaned forward slightly, his face beaming with a smile.
Tang Xiao glanced at Wu Jie, who was sitting beside her, and smiled faintly:
“In accordance with the board’s request, the Supervision Departnt will conduct random inspections and audits of the subsidiaries.
Your place will be the first, Mr.
Wang!”
“Director Wu, you’ve been auditing for quite a while now.
How is it coming along?”
Wu Jie smiled, “Whether it’s HR, finance, or account expenditures, there are no issues!”
Tang Xiao nodded slightly and said with a smile:
“Good to hear there are no issues!
However, last quarter’s financial report shows that compared to last year, the performance has actually decreased.
Why is that?”
Wang Taixiong imdiately explained, “Last year we invested in a New Year’s movie, the box office receipts and ancillary inco were included in the first quarter’s performance.
But this year is different, we don’t have those big revenues, and instead, several productions started, so the performance is indeed a bit poor!”
Tang Xiao smiled faintly.
“I see you’ve shot quite a lot of movies and dramas each year!
But why is it that so many film and television productions haven’t been aired?”
Wang Taixiong hastily said, “So haven’t passed the review temporarily, so are due to cinemas and TV stations not scheduling them.
Of course, there are other reasons like other investors, advertising partners, and so on.
In any case, the rate of flops is within controllable limits.”
…
Wu Jie, sitting on the side, listened intently.
Tang Xiao today was quite strange!
“You produce many movies and comrcials every year, and the company’s capital flows are always substantial.
Yet, for a company worth billions in market value, it earns only tens of millions each year.
If this continues without significant change, then I may have to sell the company!”
Tang Xiao suddenly said this out of the blue.
Wang Taixiong was shocked, subconsciously glancing at Wu Jie, then sowhat nervously said:
“The poor managent is my responsibility, but…
President Tang, how much do you plan to sell for?”
“Are you interested in buying?” Tang Xiao asked with a smile on her lips, her tone cold.
