Chapter 138: Something Big Has Happened

Every time Ling Feng returned to Beishi, he was like a wild horse off the leash; he had to visit relatives, he had to visit friends, and furthermore, he did not like attending business events.

Therefore, the business event the next day was attended by Bai Shunan and another sales manager.

Bai Shunan had long since become adept at participating in these investment promotion events; she would hand out small gifts on the spot, exchange business cards, add people on WeChat, and chat eloquently with everyone, as if they had known each other for a long time and were old friends.

Not far away, Gu Yunting held a glass of wine, chatting with someone while keeping an eye on Bai Shunan.

She was in appropriate business attire, neither ostentatious nor lacking natural beauty, and was the focus of the crowd.

It was not until she was tired of standing and tired of talking, and walked over to the beverage service area to sit and rest, that Gu Yunting walked toward her.

"Shunan, we meet again," Gu Yunting said.

Bai Shunan had actually noticed him long ago, but she had pretended not to see him.

This business event was one she had scheduled to attend long ago; she could not skip it just because Gu Yunting was here.

She greeted him generously: "President Gu, long time no see."

"It has indeed been a long time," Gu Yunting said, paused, and then asked: "How have you been lately?"

"Quite good, just rather busy." Busy to the point of not thinking of him at all.

Gu Yunting looked at the confident and beautiful Bai Shunan before him; she seemed to glow.

The person who once came when he beckoned and left when he waved was now someone he could no longer reach.

"Oh, isn't this President Bai? You do new energy vehicles; your company's cars are quite popular. I bought one a while ago for my nanny to use for grocery shopping, and she says it's very easy to drive," a noblewoman came over to speak to Bai Shunan.

It sounded like there was a hint of condescension, yet Bai Shunan did not mind at all. She stood up and said with a smile: "It is my honor that your nanny uses it. The positioning of this car model was for a 'mom car,' suitable for short trips, grocery shopping, and picking up children."

The noblewoman asked: "Then when will you develop one suitable for us to drive?"

"Let's talk about that later; for now, let's focus on capturing this market segment first."

"..." Bai Shunan chatted with the noblewoman for a while longer, and when she turned around again, Gu Yunting had already left.

Bai Shuruo spent this day still looking at documents in the office.

After so many days, she had become much more familiar with Han Yangting's work.

Except for lacking his economic acumen and decisiveness, she was quite adept at handling daily affairs.

For matters where she could not make up her mind, she would ask Ye Caiyue or seek the opinions of several other shareholders.

However, she suddenly discovered an anomaly in one document today.

This was a financial document.

It was also at this moment that Bai Shuruo suddenly realized there had been many documents from the finance department lately. Sometimes, if she was too busy, she would not read them carefully and would sign them directly.

She felt that these financial documents had been reviewed by the Chief Financial Officer and vetted layer by layer before being sent up, so there should not be any mistakes.

However, it was fine not to look, but upon looking, she discovered that the company seal at the bottom of this document was not right.

They were all oval red seals, but the company name was off by one character, changing from "Kaiming Limited Company" to "Kaiming Limited Company."

"Kaiming" was a subsidiary under the Baiyin Group, but what was going on with "Kaiming"?

Bai Shuruo was about to call Linda in, but later felt it was inappropriate, so she found Ali.

After Ali came in, he studied the financial document for a long time and said: "This is truly a thorny issue. Could it be that a subsidiary was registered underneath to transfer assets? Young Mistress, I am afraid you will have to investigate this personally."

Bai Shuruo also realized something was wrong, and she could not help but say: "I will investigate it thoroughly."

Who exactly was trying to transfer assets while Han Yangting was down and Ye Caiyue was not at the company?

Was it a shareholder? Or Han Chunqiu?

While Bai Shuruo was investigating this matter, Ali made a phone call to Ye Caiyue: "Madam, the Young Mistress has discovered the problem."

Ye Caiyue's voice was indifferent: "She finally discovered it; she is quite observant. Since she discovered it, let her handle this matter. If she cannot handle it, we will step in then."

"Understood."

Ali had other things to attend to, so Bai Shuruo called Meng Ze in.

"Meng Ze, please carefully investigate Kaiming Company and see when this company was registered. Also, find all the financial documents I have approved recently; I want to look through them again."

Seeing Bai Shuruo's anxious appearance, Meng Ze could not help but ask: "Bai Vice President, why do you want to find these documents? Has something happened?"

"Yes, something big has happened!" Bai Shuruo said calmly.

The more it was like this, the less she could afford to panic.

After finding all the documents and examining them carefully, Bai Shuruo discovered that it was not just "Kaiming" that was a fake company; among them, there were also instances of "Weiyong" replacing "Weiyong."

In just half a month, five subsidiaries had popped up.

A group would have many subsidiaries, and subsidiaries could bear capital risks, but if used by someone with ulterior motives, they would transfer the headquarters' funds to the subsidiaries and then convert them into illicit funds.

By then, the headquarters would become an empty shell!

Meng Ze also looked at these documents carefully and sighed: "Bai Vice President, you are amazing; you didn't even notice such an important matter."

Bai Shuruo glared at him: "You are the one at the door receiving and sending documents; so many documents pass through your hands, did you notice it?"

Meng Ze said: "I only paid attention to the content and the amounts inside; I just gave the company name at the end a rough glance."

"Me too. It's like going to the supermarket to buy Wahaha, and someone gives you Wacha; you wouldn't expect it either. How could a supermarket have such a thing?"

Meng Ze asked: "Then what should we do now?"

Bai Shuruo said: "First, check if the funds have been transferred away, then investigate who transferred the funds. These newly registered companies must have addresses; see where their addresses are and who the legal representative of the company is."

"I'll help you check!" Meng Ze said.

"Let's check together!"

At the same time, Han Chunqiu was drinking tea in the office with the Chief Financial Officer, Zhang Xinlv.

On the surface, these two appeared very relaxed, but they knew in their hearts that this composure was feigned.

Han Chunqiu asked, "Have those financial documents all been approved?"

Zhang Xinlv said, "Three have already been approved, and two more were sent to the CEO's office this morning; that girl has been so busy lately she's gone foolish, and she hasn't even realized we are pulling a bait-and-switch."

Han Chunqiu was very satisfied: "For the ones already approved, hurry up and carry out the asset transfer."

"Rest assured, for the three already approved earlier, three billion has already been transferred, and the finance department is already processing the latter two."
