Chapter 344 Something big happened
"He called a meeting with the company's top management today, I don't know what he was planning. And we've also heard that he seems to be pulling strings everywhere, trying to cover up the embezzlement," Xu Sisi said anxiously.
Upon hearing this, my face immediately darkened. "It seems he's still not giving up. Let's gather everyone together for another meeting and come up with a countermeasure in advance."
In the conference room, my team members and I sat in a circle, the atmosphere heavy and almost oppressive. Everyone was talking at once, passionately analyzing Mr. Li's intentions.
Little Sweetie suddenly had a brilliant idea and said, "Sister Momo, I have an idea. Since President Li is trying to use his connections to suppress this matter, could we start from within his company and find those employees who have been bullied by him or who harbor resentment towards him? Maybe we can dig up more crucial evidence, and then even if he wants to suppress it, he won't be able to."
My eyes lit up immediately, and I praised, "That's a great idea! Sweetie, you and Lin Xiaxia will have to make the trip and contact the employees of General Manager Li's company as soon as possible to see if you can find any valuable clues."
"Sisi, continue to keep a close eye on President Li's every move. Report any suspicious activity immediately." Everyone accepted the order and got to work.
Jiang Yichen tossed and turned, unable to sleep abroad. Despite Momo's repeated assurances that everything was alright, his unease grew like wildfire. Just then, Jiang Yichen's phone screen lit up; it was a message from Xu Sisi. After much hesitation, Xu Sisi decided to tell Jiang Yichen about President Li's new developments, knowing full well that it would be too difficult for Momo to handle this alone.
The moment Jiang Yichen saw the message, his eyes sharpened like an eagle's, and his already furrowed brows tightened into a deep frown. He knew that Momo was facing immense pressure, and he was thousands of miles away, unable to be by her side immediately. But that didn't mean he would stand idly by.
Jiang Yichen quickly got up and paced back and forth in the room, his mind racing as he considered a possible solution. He picked up his phone and dialed the number of his reliable old friend Lin Nan in the domestic business world. As soon as the call connected, Lin Nan's cheerful voice came through the receiver: "Hey, brother! Why did you suddenly think of calling me? Were you having so much fun doing business abroad that you almost forgot about me?"
Jiang Yichen wasn't in the mood for jokes and said rapidly, "Lin Nan, I'm in big trouble. My wife Momo's studio has run into trouble with a guy named Mr. Li. Mr. Li embezzled public funds and now wants the money he gave to the studio back. He's trying to use his connections to cover it up."
Lin Nan's tone instantly turned serious: "Is that so? This Mr. Li is really unethical! Tell me, how can I help you?"
Jiang Yichen continued, "I would like to trouble you to keep an eye on Mr. Li's every move, especially his interactions with those who help him suppress trouble. You have a wide network of connections and are well-informed, so please call me immediately if there is any unusual activity."
Lin Nan agreed without hesitation: "Okay, leave it to me! I'll arrange for someone to keep an eye on it right away, and I'll call you back as soon as I have any news."
After hanging up with Lin Nan, Jiang Yichen dialed his lawyer's number. He explained in detail to the lawyer about Mr. Li's embezzlement of public funds and his attempt to recover the money owed to the studio, asking the lawyer how the studio could protect its rights from a legal perspective, and what specific evidence would be needed to report Mr. Li.
The lawyer listened attentively on the other end of the phone, offered professional advice, and said he would immediately begin collecting relevant legal materials to make full preparations for any potential legal disputes.
Even after doing all that, Jiang Yichen still felt it wasn't enough. He knew that Momo and the team were undoubtedly under immense pressure and completely focused on dealing with the situation. So, he sent a message to Xu Sisi, carefully inquiring about the current division of labor and coping strategies within the studio.
Based on Xu Sisi's feedback, Jiang Yichen, drawing on his extensive business experience, offered some optimization suggestions, such as how to more efficiently screen employees within Mr. Li's company who might provide key evidence, and how to uncover more clues beneficial to the studio from Mr. Li's daily behavior.
During his conversation with Xu Sisi, Jiang Yichen keenly noticed that Momo had been working tirelessly for the studio lately, and her physical and mental state was worrying.
He was filled with anxiety, wishing he could fly back to Momo's side immediately and give her a strong support. However, the business deal was not yet fully finalized, and if he left rashly, not only might all his previous efforts be in vain, but he also couldn't guarantee his own safety and it would affect the company's future development.
After much deliberation, Jiang Yichen finally decided to return ahead of schedule.
He proactively contacted Lao Zhou, hoping to complete the cooperation ahead of schedule or adjust the subsequent cooperation process.
Fortunately, Lao Zhou contacted the pharmacy agent there and, after detailed communication, agreed to Jiang Yichen's request. The two sides began to work intensively to re-plan the details of the cooperation and worked overtime to advance various matters, all so that Jiang Yichen could finish things here as soon as possible and return to China to help Momo.
A moment later, Jiang Yichen's phone rang urgently. It was Lin Nan calling. "Jiang Yichen, I have some initial news."
Lin Nan's voice came from the other end of the phone, "President Li has been frequently visiting several companies that have close business ties with his company recently, as if he is seeking financial support. I guess he wants to fill the hole first to prevent the embezzlement of public funds from becoming a big deal."
Furthermore, I also learned that he had dinner with someone who has connections in the judicial system, but it's unclear what they discussed.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yichen said, "Lin Nan, could you also check the funding he found, whether there are any additional conditions, and what he's planning by contacting that person in the judicial system? Thank you for your hard work."
Lin Nan replied, "Don't worry, I will definitely continue to dig deeper. If you have any new ideas, just let me know. I've been focusing on this matter for a while now, not letting any clue slip by."
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Yichen could hear the rustling sound of papers turning over on Lin Nan's end, presumably she was working on a notebook filled with densely packed clues.
After a brief pause, Lin Nan's tone became more wistful, tinged with a touch of melancholy, as she slowly said, "After this is over, I'm going to continue my studies abroad. I've been preparing for it, and the procedures are almost complete. I was planning to say goodbye to you properly after I finished this busy period. But then Mr. Li's incident happened, and my plans have been somewhat disrupted."
Hearing this news, Jiang Yichen wasn't too surprised. Based on his understanding of Lin Nan, pursuing knowledge and broadening her horizons had always been Lin Nan's deepest desire.
Jiang Yichen paused for a moment, then said in a steady voice, "Alright, we'll talk about the rest later. Take good care of yourself while you're gone. If you need any help with your studies, just let me know. Thanks to you for keeping an eye on President Li this time. When I get back, we'll have a good get-together." His words were full of concern and trust for his old friend.
