Chapter 408: 404. Obtaining Evidence (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)

"Has Xiao Qing arrived?" Zhang Ran asked.

"She just sent me a message; she has already arrived at the hotel," He Yong said.

"Then you go with her to the company for the meeting tomorrow, and show me how many people didn't show up," Zhang Ran said.

He Yong nodded and said, "Alright."

Time passed second by second; it didn't even take half an hour, just a quarter of an hour later, Gu Fei walked to Zhang Ran's side, looking completely dejected.

"General Manager Zhang."

"Have you made a decision?" Zhang Ran asked indifferently.

"Yes," Gu Fei replied in a low voice, then after a long silence, he said, "I would like to ask, how does General Manager Zhang intend to deal with us?"

Zhang Ran stood up, stretched his limbs, and said, "It should be 'them.' Since I sought you out and said I would give you a chance, that means I am giving you a chance."

Gu Fei's eyes instantly brightened, "General Manager Zhang, what do you mean?"

"If you bring out all the evidence of their illegal use of company resources and embezzlement of company assets, I will let bygones be bygones regarding your affairs. Your position will remain unchanged, and likewise, your compensation will remain the same. This matter ends here for you," Zhang Ran said calmly.

"And them?" Gu Fei asked.

Zhang Ran laughed, "Them? What do you think I will do?"

"Fire them?" Gu Fei said hesitantly.

Zhang Ran said, "You still underestimate me, Zhang Ran, or perhaps you overestimate my magnanimity. They have embarrassed me so much; how could I possibly let them off lightly? Let's see what their luck is like. If they are lucky, maybe they will be able to get out in this lifetime."

Gu Fei's heart jolted. Looking at Zhang Ran's calm eyes, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

In fact, such things are very common in the business world. Most people, even if they catch someone in the act, usually just dismiss them, especially those who have made significant contributions to the company.

But Zhang Ran wanted to wipe them out completely!

Zhang Ran seemed to understand what he was thinking at this moment and said, "I didn't want it to be like this originally. I thought if you could cooperate with my work with peace of mind, then I would let bygones be bygones. The past would be the past, and I wouldn't bother doing this.

But who told them to be so arrogant? Heh, do they really think the company belongs to their family?"

Gu Fei took a deep breath and said, "General Manager Zhang, but once all these people leave, the company's operations will become a problem.

Right now, from top to bottom, the company is basically run by people they promoted themselves. I'm afraid that some bad things will happen when the time comes."

He was understating it; if things really got out of hand, the company might even go on strike.

Zhang Ran didn't care about this, "Let them be. Whoever wants to cause trouble when the time comes, just let them leave. By the way, the kind of people who are clean, I really don't believe that there are so many people in the world who aren't afraid of death, and that they are all concentrated here."

Gu Fei once again realized the extent of Zhang Ran's ruthlessness; this was the rhythm of sending anyone who stuck their head out to prison.

"Then what about the company's senior management?" Gu Fei asked.

"There will be people coming to take over their work when the time comes. What you need to do is unconditionally cooperate with them and not let the company fall into chaos," Zhang Ran said.

This was also one of the reasons he came to find Gu Fei; he still needed someone to help Jiao Zhen and the others quickly understand the company's situation.

"Hand over all the evidence in your possession to me before eight o'clock tomorrow morning," Zhang Ran said, and then he left.

Gu Fei stood where he was, unable to recover for a long time.

At this moment, he felt that he and the others were truly like clowns, thinking that Zhang Ran wouldn't dare to touch them, but in just one day, the fate of these people had already been decided.

Zhang Ran wouldn't dare to touch them?

That was simply a huge joke!

Not only did Zhang Ran dare to touch them, he was going to touch them to death!

Gu Fei returned home feeling dejected. Seeing him like this, his wife asked with concern, "Honey, what's wrong with you? What exactly happened?"

She felt more and more that her husband's state was not right.

Gu Fei came back to his senses and sighed, "It's nothing, it's just that our days ahead probably won't be easy."

"Why do you say that? Is it because of the new boss at the company?" His wife also knew something about Gu Fei's company situation.

Gu Fei nodded, then shook his head. He didn't explain too much to his wife, only saying, "I won't sleep tonight. Don't wait for me, just prepare a cup of strong tea for me."

His wife looked at her husband, opened her mouth, and finally just said, "Honey, no matter what happens, don't worry. We will always stand behind you and support you."

Hearing his wife's words, a trace of emotion welled up in Gu Fei's heart, and at the same time, his conviction was strengthened.

He was betraying You Jingyang and the others this time not for himself, but for his family!

He believed that what Zhang Ran said was true. He didn't want to go inside; once he went inside, his family would be finished, and his wife and son would have no one to rely on.

If Zhang Ran were even more ruthless, he could completely bankrupt them!

That night, Gu Fei worked until six o'clock in the morning. After organizing the things, he took a deep breath, tidied himself up a bit, and headed to the hotel where Zhang Ran was staying.

At eight o'clock, when Zhang Ran went downstairs, he saw Gu Fei.

"General Manager Zhang, this is what you wanted." Gu Fei handed the things over.

Zhang Ran took a quick look, then said with some surprise, "You guys have been ruthless enough over these years. No wonder they dared to do this. Tsk tsk tsk."

Zhang Ran was a bit stunned after seeing these numbers, but he had to admit that this You Jingyang was a genius.

To have embezzled so much money and, on top of that, used his position to do so many things, yet still be able to turn in a satisfactory report to the original Headquarters—that was really something.

"Whoa, good heavens, the shopping mall the company had in Yangcheng previously had secret transactions? Tsk tsk tsk, truly impressive." The more Zhang Ran looked, the more he felt that this You Jingyang was truly a genius.

Gu Fei lowered his head and said nothing.

"Alright, I keep my word. This matter ends here for you, and it won't affect your future promotions. Merit will be rewarded, and faults will be punished; this is my guarantee to you. Rest assured," Zhang Ran said as he closed the file.

The heavy stone in Gu Fei's heart finally fell, and he said with a face full of gratitude, "Thank you, General Manager Zhang. I will pay back the money I took before."

Zhang Ran shook his head and said, "No need. Just consider it a reward for you. I will have someone get these accounts in order later."

Gu Fei was truly immensely grateful now; he really hadn't expected Zhang Ran to do this.

Just as he was about to thank him again, he heard Zhang Ran wave his hand and say, "Don't thank me. You saved me a lot of time this time; it's what you deserve."

"Also, He Qing will represent me at the meeting today. You help look after her," Zhang Ran said, and then he left.
