These matters did not have much to do with Tong Wenjie.

Tong Wenjie’s job was as the company’s Financial Director,

responsible for financial coordination with the group headquarters as well as the financial allocation and supervision of branch companies.

Originally,

Tong Wenjie’s job was quite comfortable and respectable,

but ever since Lei Mengde arrived,

Tong Wenjie had been demoted without cause,

and her assistant, Xiao Jin, had leapfrogged over her to replace Tong Wenjie and become the new Financial Director.

Although Qin Feng at this moment

already possessed 60% of the shares of the Xinghai Group,

making him the actual person in power at the Xinghai Group,

however,

Qin Feng did not want to expose his identity too early.

Therefore,

Qin Feng hoped that Tong Wenjie, as the involved party, could stand up and launch a counterattack herself,

and when necessary,

Qin Feng would lend Tong Wenjie a helping hand.

After parking the car,

Qin Feng arrived at the coffee shop downstairs from Tong Wenjie’s company.

After sending a WeChat message to Tong Wenjie,

he casually ordered two cups of coffee.

Suddenly receiving Qin Feng’s WeChat,

Tong Wenjie was both surprised and delighted,

so she hurriedly walked downstairs and ran toward the coffee shop.

Just as she was about to reach the entrance of the coffee shop,

Tong Wenjie stopped her disheveled pace,

took a deep breath,

and adjusted her hairstyle using the reflection in the glass,

only then pushing open the door

and walking into the coffee shop.

Seeing Tong Wenjie,

Qin Feng raised his hand to signal her.

Tong Wenjie immediately nodded with a smile,

then walked quickly to Qin Feng’s side and sat down.

Looking at Qin Feng, who had taken the initiative to find her for the first time,

Tong Wenjie was both joyful and happy.

Even if she had questions in her heart, she ignored them herself.

At this moment, Tong Wenjie

was like a young girl who had just discovered love,

just blushing slightly, reservedly stirring her coffee, and stealing glances at Qin Feng from time to time.

Seeing this, Qin Feng

smiled helplessly,

then spoke directly: "Auntie Wenjie, will anyone say anything about you coming down to meet me at this hour?"

"No."

Tong Wenjie shook her head, gathered her courage to meet Qin Feng’s gaze, and then said softly: "Qin Feng, call me Wenjie from now on. Every time you say 'Auntie Wenjie,' I feel like I'm so old..."

"Alright, Wenjie."

Qin Feng nodded, then went straight to the topic: "I asked you here because I want to talk about your boss, Lei Mengde..."

"Ah?"

Hearing this, Tong Wenjie’s expression changed slightly,

and then she looked at Qin Feng very nervously and said: "Qin Feng, don't overthink it. There really is nothing between Lei Mengde and me. He is the one who won't give up, I really haven't done anything..."

"Don't be nervous, Wenjie."

Comforting Tong Wenjie with a smile,

Qin Feng asked straightforwardly: "Wenjie, do you want to deal with Lei Mengde yourself?"

"I do!"

Tong Wenjie looked into Qin Feng’s eyes and said extremely seriously: "But I don't know what to do, and I'm worried that I'll lose my job."

Qin Feng smiled calmly: "With me here, you don't need to worry about anything..."

Qin Feng's words

made Tong Wenjie feel at ease instantly.

But after thinking about it carefully,

Tong Wenjie felt it would be very difficult.

First of all,

Raymond was a department manager assigned by the company headquarters,

which meant

that Raymond had his own connections and resources at headquarters.

Secondly,

as soon as Raymond came to the company,

he used the excuse of poor company performance

to start large-scale layoffs.

At the same time,

he used various means to arrange for his own cronies and personnel to enter the company,

and gradually took control of several important departments of the company.

Finally,

Raymond even directly hooked up with Xiao Jin,

and removed Tong Wenjie as financial director,

letting Xiao Jin, who was originally just an assistant, rise directly to the top.

This showed

that Raymond had already effectively taken control of the company's important departments.

At this time,

if one were to rely solely on Tong Wenjie's own strength to topple Raymond,

it would be harder than ascending to heaven!

Therefore,

although Qin Feng's support and encouragement gave Tong Wenjie a lot of confidence,

at this moment, Tong Wenjie was completely at a loss,

not knowing where to start at all,

nor did she know whether she could topple Raymond with her own strength alone.

Seeing Tong Wenjie with her brows tightly locked in thought,

Qin Feng didn't speak, just waited quietly.

Then,

Qin Feng saw Tong Wenjie's tightly locked brows relax for a moment and then frown even tighter,

clearly very conflicted.

After more than ten minutes,

Tong Wenjie let out a sigh,

and said helplessly: "Qin Feng, I've thought of many ways, but in the end, I still can't put Raymond to death. There's no way, his background is just too powerful."

Qin Feng automatically ignored the latter part of Tong Wenjie's words,

but was very interested in the first part: "Wenjie, you've thought of many ways, why not tell me about them? Maybe I can offer a different opinion."

"Alright, then I'll say it, but don't laugh at me."

Tong Wenjie nodded and then said: "Actually, when he was harassing me at the company before, I thought about whether I should call the police."

"But later, I looked it up online, and for someone like him who only uses verbal harassment without any substantive content, it's usually just a verbal warning, and they wouldn't even detain him. So, for him, the punishment is too light."

"Later, I thought, could I use the convenience of working in the finance department to check the company's recent capital movements and his personal use of funds? If I found relevant content, I could also report it directly to the group headquarters."

"But unfortunately, the company's accounts are clear and distinct, at least on the surface there's no fraud, and I currently can't access the accounts of transactions with other companies, so it's very difficult to find out the true situation."

"Later on, I also thought about whether I should mobilize other female employees in the company who had been harassed to report Raymond to the police and the group together, but obviously, that's the worst idea..."

"So, Qin Feng, I really have no way."

After Tong Wenjie finished speaking, she looked at Qin Feng helplessly,

a tear drop contained in her bright eyes,

making one feel heartbroken.

Qin Feng, seeing this,

took Tong Wenjie's hand,

and then said softly: "I said, with me here."

"Mm."

Tong Wenjie responded,

wanting to lean directly on Qin Feng's shoulder and have a good cry.

But there were other people in the coffee shop at this moment,

and Tong Wenjie didn't want to cause gossip or bring trouble to Qin Feng,

so she had to hold back her tears

and sit quietly.

Qin Feng picked up his coffee and took a slow sip.

After Tong Wenjie's emotions stabilized,

he then said: "Wenjie, since you know to check the company's accounts and his personal movement of company funds, have you ever thought about checking his personal income?"

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, Tong Wenjie was clearly stunned.

Although she was from the finance department,

still,

the salaries and year-end bonuses of all employees in the company

were calculated and issued by the company accountant,

and the accountant also handled the relevant business directly with the bank for payments.

The finance department only knew the total accounts for salaries and year-end bonuses,

and as for the rest,

Tong Wenjie and others in the finance department had no right to supervise or interfere.

However,

this one sentence from Qin Feng

[Hidden text/placeholder]

allowed Tong Wenjie to directly find Raymond's pain point.

So,

Tong Wenjie's eyes lit up,

and she said with great agreement: "That's right, at Raymond's level, his total annual salary, performance bonuses, and year-end bonuses add up to over a million."

"This doesn't include the bribes and various gifts Raymond accepts privately from suppliers."

"Calculating it, Raymond's total annual income has long exceeded 1.2 million, so it's very clear that his personal income tax must have problems."

Tong Wenjie was from the finance department,

Qin Feng just pointed it out,

and Tong Wenjie could directly find the pain point.

And now,

the tax bureau's supervision of personal taxation is very strict.

If Raymond uses non-standard means to evade taxes,

then what awaits Raymond will be years or even over a decade in prison!

Only...

Tong Wenjie, who had just become excited,

thought of an extremely sensitive question.

If she obtained real evidence and reported Raymond for tax evasion,

then other people in the company would surely have similar situations.

If Tong Wenjie did this, although she could directly kill Raymond, it would also implicate others.

The consequence of that was clearly

that Tong Wenjie would also leave the company immediately,

forced to start over.

Thinking of the current employment environment,

Tong Wenjie felt worried, not knowing what to do for a moment.

And just as Tong Wenjie was thinking quietly,

Raymond, in a suit

and looking sanctimonious, suddenly walked over

and stood directly in front of Qin Feng and Tong Wenjie.

After looking at Qin Feng carefully,

Raymond gave a chuckle,

turned his head to look at Tong Wenjie, whose face looked very bad, and whispered: "I was wondering why you never agreed to me, so it turns out there's someone better?"

"Tong Wenjie, what's this little handsome guy's name? Is he in good shape?"

"If he's not good enough, actually you could also find me, or, a threesome, actually that's also possible~~"

Raymond said, deliberately winking at Tong Wenjie.

Just as Qin Feng was about to take action,

Tong Wenjie directly picked up her coffee and splashed it fiercely onto Raymond's face.

When she heard Raymond not only insulting her but also teasing Qin Feng,

Tong Wenjie was already angry and had made up her mind.

So,

Tong Wenjie no longer endured it.

After splashing one cup of coffee,

Tong Wenjie still felt it wasn't enough,

and casually picked up Qin Feng's coffee and splashed it onto Raymond's face once again.

Two cups of coffee to wash his face,
