Chapter 119: Ya Li Became the Finance Manager

After seeing off Xiao Feng, I waited in the office for Director Yu's phone call,

Soon, Director Yu's call came through,

"Chairman Zhao's payment has been received; then, as you requested, I will transfer it to the account you designated."

I said, "Thanks, Director Yu, the remaining 1 million is your share, plus the money from the fake invoices."

"You then sign a fake 10 million contract with Shi Jinhe later, so the company can move the money."

Director Yu said, "Thank you so much, Chairman Zhao; I'll get the contract done and find Director Shi."

"Okay, goodbye, Director Yu." After saying that, I hung up the phone.

After hanging up Director Yu's call, I looked up Shi Jinhe's phone number,

"Jinhe, you're at the construction site; Director Yu will call you shortly to sign a purchase contract for 10 million. Please sign it."

Shi Jinhe said over the phone, "Okay, bro, I got it."

I then hung up the phone.

Shi Jinhe understood my meaning; no need for me to say more.

In the past, I transferred money out by signing fake contracts through Shi Jinhe, to make it convenient for my personal use.

Because some payments require public-to-public transfers, which is very troublesome.

For example, to handle Zhu Sheng's son's overseas studies,

I just used someone else's account to transfer the money.

Every big boss has several dozen public accounts in hand, just to facilitate moving money for themselves.

Everyone uses this method to divert company funds for personal use.

I suppose Xiao Hua also learned this from me, transferring the company's money out.

Sigh, forget it, I won't think about these anymore.

Just then, my phone rang,

I saw it was Xiao Feng's call,

Xiao Feng said over the phone, "Jianqiang, the payment has been received. Should we next contact Lanling County?"

I said, "Xiao Feng, don't rush; it's only been a few days. You're coming to buy Qi He Kuang. This matter easily raises suspicion."

What time are you coming? Wait for my phone arrangement.

I must coordinate well with the Du County side.

Xiao Feng said, "Okay, I'll follow your arrangement. At that time, I'll return to Zaocheng together with Lao Ye."

I said, "Right, let Lao Ye come back too; the affairs of Zaocheng Mining Group still need Lao Ye to handle them."

Xiao Feng said, "Jianqiang, I won't say more; I just want to take good care of myself."

After Xiao Feng finished speaking, she hung up the phone,

After these matters are settled, my heart can also relax a bit,

I also have left myself a way out,

If Da Heng Group cannot hold on, I won't end up with nothing.

This society is a money-driven society; without money, nothing can be done.

Zhou Wei's treatment needs money, and Ru Meng's schooling requires expenses.

Also, Zhengzheng and Xiao Shitou, these children, need money.

I have no money on hand,

Who would still acknowledge me as their father.

In their eyes, I am nothing at all.

I was thinking about this when Ya Li pushed the door open and came in,

Ya Li saw that only I was in the room, and she smiled and said, "Chairman, what are you thinking about?"

When I saw it was Ya Li,

I said, "Ya Li has come; what else could I be thinking about? Money, of course."

"What money, to make you so absentminded?" Ya Li asked.

"I'm thinking about that 420 million yuan loan; it can be applied for in two days, but I keep worrying that nothing else will go wrong. If we don't get that 420 million loan, our company will die." I said seriously.

"What could happen? You're just overthinking. Director Li Xingzhang's side is all set; the day after tomorrow I'll go to the bank to handle the procedures."

"Chairman, Director Xiao Feng has already handed over to me; I am now responsible for the company's finances,"

"If you have any opinions, just speak them out."

Upon hearing Ya Li say that,

I laughed,

"Ya Li, we've known each other for many years; your coming to be the company's finance manager is a good thing for our group."

I trust you; you are a kind girl and very capable. I believe under your management, our group's financial work will improve.

The reason our group company previously blew up was because the finances were not handled well.

No one managed it well; I don't understand finance, so I let them handle it, and the result turned out like this.

Ya Li, thank you for your hard work.

After hearing my words, Ya Li felt a bit embarrassed,

"Chairman, thank you for your trust; rest assured, I will definitely manage the finances well for you, and I will spend every penny carefully."

Only then can the company become legitimate.

"Director Sun is responsible for managing the entire group company, while I am responsible for the financial aspects."

"Chairman, your burden will be much lighter."

I see you exhausted every day, and it pains me.

This way I can also help share your burden.

"Thank you, Ya Li,"

Since you arrived, you've been helping me all along, and I've seen it.

But I can give you so little now; the Group Company is financially strained, and if it were the past, I would have already rewarded you.

Ya Li, being good at finance is just one aspect of being a manager,

and another crucial aspect is maintaining a good relationship with Li Xingzhang of Zaocheng Bank,

Our livelihoods are in his hands,

"If he doesn't grant us a loan, we really won't be able to repay your company's debts," I said.

"Chairman, you're always worrying about the loan. What's there to worry about? Li Xingzhang's side is already settled; we just need to finish the paperwork."

"Just relax; if not Li Xingzhang, there's still Wang Xingzhang and Zhang Xingzhang."

"With our Da Heng Group's golden reputation, we still fear we can't attract a golden phoenix to invest."

Ya Li said confidently.

"Ya Li, let me ask you this: do you want us to repay Southern Group's loan, or not repay it and let Southern Group swallow our Da Heng Group?" I suddenly asked Ya Li.

Ya Li froze.

Then she said, "Chairman, how could you ask such a thing? Of course I hope you repay Southern Group's debt."

That way, your Group Company can also get back on track.

When you're doing well, our Southern Group also suffers no loss, and we can cooperate again in the future.

How great is that—you're good, I'm good, everyone's good.

"I, Kang Yali, am sincerely helping you, Chairman—don't doubt anything."

I laughed, "Ya Li, don't overthink it; I truly have no doubts. I'm just thinking: if your group's Zhang Zong wants to devour our company, sending you here isn't to help us but to wreck our Group Company,"

"Isn't this going against your Zhang Zong's wishes again?"

"Chairman, you're overthinking it; our Zhang Zong doesn't mean that—his purpose in helping you is merely for future cooperation."

"We have the resources, you have the experience; if we work together, once we secure land in the Provincial Capital, our development will be excellent."

"Signing a profit‑forfeit agreement with you merely urges you to repay, putting pressure on you—only then will you have the drive," Ya Li explained.

"Looks like I was overthinking; that's good. Ya Li, let's join forces—you as finance manager, Sun Dajun as General Manager, and I'll entrust the Da Heng Group to your management, and I'll feel relieved."

"Just go ahead boldly,"

"Since Sun Dajun has been with you, I've also seen his growth and his change."

"Good,"

"Ya Li, from now on I'll intervene less in the Group Company's affairs."

"I'll leave it to the two of you."

"My health is poor,"

"Moreover, Zhou Wei hasn't recovered either."

"I might spend most of my time in the hospital from now on."

"Ya Li, I still say the same thing: I trust you."

"After saying that, I reached out my hand proactively,"

"Ya Li also reached out her hand,"

"Our hands clasped tightly."
