Chapter 774: 769. I Cannot Afford It (Please Subscribe and Vote for Monthly Tickets)

Many things seem difficult and appear to have no clear direction, but as long as you grasp a few key points, things suddenly become much simpler.

Take the internal problems at Yaotian Pharmaceutical this time; if you only look at the surface, this matter is simply incomparably complex.

Because there are too many things involved: first the herb farmers, then the medicine dealers, next the middlemen, and only then Zhao Tong; these are all people on the same chain.

It is only after so many links that we reach Zhao Tong, and Zhao Tong is not even an internal company employee, but merely an external lackey, or rather, the leader of the lackeys.

Next is Zhao Kui, and then people like Lin Xiong; the relationships here are even more complex.

Although the two of them are the core and the figures on the surface, no one knows exactly how complicated the things involved in this really are.

These two are connected to mid-to-high-level relations, and this is not just an internal company issue; there are many external factors, and even the participation of some civil servants, or rather, it is certain, otherwise they would not be so unscrupulous.

This matter is just that complex; if one were to investigate it piece by piece, many people wouldn't know where to start.

Even with Zhao Feng, it is actually not that easy to investigate, and many things Zhao Feng has done were silently supported by Zhang Ran behind the scenes; it is not as simple as it looks.

Furthermore, even if one reaches Lin Xiong and Zhao Kui, there are too many things hidden behind them, many of which Zhang Ran himself is still unclear about even now.

Also, like this time, if Zhang Ran hadn't deliberately let Zhao Tong take this path, it would have been very difficult for Zhang Ran to obtain evidence.

It would be even harder to use these methods to make him confess what he knows.

Without evidence, Zhang Ran cannot do anything to them; at most, he could fire them, but they would not be able to receive the punishment they deserve, and it would fail to serve as a deterrent.

This is not what Zhang Ran wants.

Now that Zhang Ran has found the key nodes in this, the grand drama has only just begun, and the main event is yet to come.

With the key nodes of the two brothers, Zhao Kui and Zhao Tong, grasped in Zhang Ran's hands, someone is bound to be unable to sit still.

And this is the point that Zhang Ran needs to utilize.

At this moment, everyone in the conference room is silent; Zhang Ran has left, but no one dares to say anything now.

Feng Hui looks at the crowd, sighs, and then slowly says: "Many of you are old friends; I won't say much else. Those who haven't participated, or who have only participated very superficially, can go and explain the situation to Mr. Zhang now."

"Also, not participating doesn't mean you are without fault; now, explain everything you know."

"Otherwise, withholding information is also a crime. If you think you can get through this easily just because you didn't participate, then you are thinking too simply."

After finishing, he does not linger and leaves directly; everyone looks at Feng Hui's back with slight astonishment.

However, Feng Hui is not going to find Zhang Ran; after all, he has already told Zhang Ran everything he knows.

He is going to find Feng Guiyu.

This nephew on whom he has pinned high hopes!

Feng Hui walks to the door of Feng Guiyu's office with a calm expression, looking at Feng Guiyu inside.

At this moment, Feng Guiyu is clearly in a bad mood; he appears incomparably agitated, pacing back and forth in the room, and occasionally grabbing his hair fiercely.

If Zhao Kui is the key node of the lower-middle level and Lin Xiong is the node of the high level, then Feng Guiyu is actually the node for some external people.

The Feng family was not doing poorly before; Feng Lian is an old shareholder of Yaotian Pharmaceutical, and over these years, they have become a well-known family in the nearby cities.

Although Feng Guiyu is not a direct descendant, the relationship between the two families has always been good, so in terms of social connections, both Feng Lian and Feng Hui would bring Feng Guiyu along.

Therefore, Feng Guiyu has extensive connections and knows many people; basically, he has contacts with all the influential people in the vicinity.

In this way, with his involvement, it can add a lot of insurance and convenience to what they are doing.

This is Feng Guiyu's role.

Of course, there is also the matter of probing for news from Feng Hui's side, being able to get the latest situation.

There is also the matter of the "Yong Ge" formula, but just as Feng Guiyu had begun to take action, something went wrong here.

Feng Lian looks at his nephew, sighs in his heart, but at the same time feels a trace of anger.

"Uncle, why are you here? Is the meeting over?" Feng Guiyu finally sees Feng Lian and asks hurriedly.

He wants to know the situation over there now; he already knows that the matter with Zhao Feng has not been resolved and that they have already found Zhang Ran, so he is filled with extreme anxiety.

Feng Hui says expressionlessly: "It hasn't ended yet."

"Uh... then why are you here?" Feng Guiyu's heart skips a beat.

"To talk to you about something," Feng Hui says, sitting down and signaling for Feng Guiyu to sit as well.

"What matter?" Feng Guiyu asks.

"Do you know what we were discussing in the meeting upstairs?" Feng Hui asks in return.

Feng Guiyu naturally knows, but at this moment he says with a confused expression: "I don't know. That is a matter for the high-level management; I haven't heard any news, and my information all comes from you, Uncle. If you don't tell me, how would I know?"

"Uncle, what exactly are they discussing upstairs?"

Finally, Feng Guiyu even puts on a look of great curiosity.

Feng Hui looks at his nephew's performance and sighs in his heart; he should have sent Feng Guiyu to an acting academy back then—he has to admire this acting skill.

Feng Hui does not say much more about this matter, only saying faintly: "Xiaoyu, how have your uncle and your great-uncle treated you?"

Feng Guiyu is startled, but says with a very grateful expression: "Of course my uncle and great-uncle have treated me very well; I am extremely grateful."

Feng Hui sighs and says: "You also know that we treat you well. After you returned to the country, I arranged for you to enter the company's middle management, giving you both power and opportunities. You did indeed live up to expectations; if it had continued like this, I am confident that within ten years, I could have gotten you into a high-level position."

"Thank you, Uncle," Feng Guiyu says gratefully; he knows that what Feng Hui said is the truth, so this sentence is also sincere.

"I cannot afford it," Feng Hui says coldly.

"You have never lacked money since you were a child. I really don't know why you would want to participate in such a matter, and as a main core member at that. What exactly do you want to do?" Feng Hui says.

"Uncle, I don't understand what you mean," Feng Guiyu is still pretending at this point.
