Chapter 2566

The hotel where Cai Liye invited Su Xinghui and Liu Yunqing to eat was a relatively high-end hotel in Dongcheng, Beijing. When Su Xinghui arrived, Cai Liye and those who had come with him were all waiting for him in the hotel lobby. Seeing him get out of the car, Cai Liye and the others hurriedly left the lobby to greet him.

Su Xinghui saw that besides Cai Liye, Qin Heshun had also come, and the others were middle-level cadres of the Yanfang Group, whom Su Xinghui also recognized. He said with a smile, "General Manager Cai, General Manager Qin, welcome to the capital!"

Cai Liye hurriedly went up and grasped Su Xinghui's hand, "Director Su, we want to congratulate you on your promotion!"

Su Xinghui shook his head, "That's not necessary, today we are just catching up."

Cai Liye said, "Director Su, first I must declare one thing: the money for today's meal was pooled together by our old employees of the Yanfang Group; we didn't spend a single cent of public funds!"

Qin Heshun said, "That's right, we old employees just pooled a few dozen yuan each, and we raised several thousand. This was without even notifying everyone on a large scale; otherwise, raising tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands would be a breeze."

Su Xinghui naturally believed what they said. He was very moved in his heart. He knew that he couldn't refuse this gesture. He nodded, "Thank you all for still remembering me!"

Cai Liye said, "How could we not remember? If even you were forgotten, what kind of people would we be?"

At this moment, Liu Yunqing and Accountant Xu drove a car and parked it outside the hotel. They got out of the car and ran over, panting. Liu Yunqing said, "Sorry, Director Su, there was a traffic jam on the road, we are late."

Su Xinghui smiled, "It's fine, I just arrived myself."

Cai Liye said, "Then let's go into the private room together."

Everyone entered the private room together. Cai Liye had the waiter serve the dishes. Su Xinghui said to Liu Yunqing, "General Manager Liu, you're quite busy now, aren't you?"

Liu Yunqing nodded, "Yes, busy to the point of exhaustion. There is too much business now, and I am recruiting people, otherwise I can't keep up. Thank you, Director Su!"

Liu Yunqing was so busy, of course, because Su Xinghui had introduced him to many businesses. Su Xinghui had many friends in the business world, and among their many enterprises, basically everyone needed to prepare reports for annual audits, capital verification, financial audits, and asset appraisals. When Su Xinghui introduced Liu Yunqing to do these reports for them, they naturally wouldn't refuse.

Liu Yunqing had taken on so much business at once that he was truly busy to the point of exhaustion. Now he was facing the difficulty of a severe shortage of manpower, so he was constantly recruiting people. The experienced accountants who had worked under him for several years had all become project managers, each leading several newcomers to do a large project. He himself was also doing a large cost-related project for Hongtu Real Estate.

This period was quite difficult to endure; they were working overtime almost every day. However, Liu Yunqing also knew that this was the best development opportunity for their accounting firm. If it were any other accounting firm outside the "Big Four," who could receive so much business? Now, the number of certified public accountants recruited into their firm had exceeded ten; this was a very good momentum.

Su Xinghui nodded, "Being busy is good. I wish your accounting firm becomes a leader in the industry in the future!"

Liu Yunqing smiled, "If that day really comes, it will be thanks to Director Su's blessing."

Before long, the dishes were served. These were all high-end dishes, worth quite a bit, and the liquor served was Moutai. Liu Yunqing frowned; he estimated that this table must have cost several thousand at least. He said, "Old Cai, isn't this a bit too grand?"

When Liu Yunqing was working on that shareholding reform plan for the Yanfang Group, he had dealt with Cai Liye quite a bit, and the two were already very familiar, so he could call him "Old Cai" so casually.

What Liu Yunqing was thinking was, why hadn't the Yanfang Group learned its lesson? Wasn't this repeating the same mistakes? Spending several thousand on a meal—could their assets afford such waste?

Su Xinghui smiled, "General Manager Liu, you've misunderstood them. Today's meal was paid for by some of their old employees who pooled their money, a few dozen yuan each. No public funds were used."

Cai Liye raised his glass, "That's right, General Manager Liu. Today is a meal we specifically prepared to thank you and Director Su. We absolutely didn't spend a single cent of the company's public funds. We each pooled a few dozen yuan; we can still afford this bit of money. So, today you must eat well and drink well!"

Liu Yunqing was also moved. He was silent for a moment, then raised his glass, "Alright, Old Cai, thank you all!"

Cai Liye laughed, "General Manager Liu, don't be polite. You saved our Yanfang Group; I should be the one saying thank you."

Everyone drank this glass of wine together. Hearing that this meal was paid for by their pooled money, Liu Yunqing and the others no longer had any psychological burden and began to eat and drink heartily. He had been working overtime every day during this period, so today was a chance to relax.

Cai Liye also stated their main purpose for coming to the capital this time. They were here to negotiate a contract for a batch of advanced textile equipment with a German machinery company. This batch of advanced textile equipment was very important to the current Yanfang Group and was related to an important profit growth point for the Yanfang Group in the future.

Su Xinghui asked, "Do you need my help with this?"

Cai Liye said, "That's not needed, Director Yu has already made the arrangements."

Director Yu was Yu Ruizhi. He was now a director of the Yanfang Group. Since he had already made the arrangements, Su Xinghui's help was not needed.

Su Xinghui said, "General Manager Cai, then I'll toast you. I wish you all success."

After drinking this glass of wine, Cai Liye said, "By the way, this time we came, we also want to visit Accountant Ren's family."

Mentioning Accountant Ren, the expressions of Su Xinghui, Liu Yunqing, and Accountant Xu all became solemn. Su Xinghui nodded, "You should indeed go visit Accountant Ren and his whole family. If it weren't for Accountant Ren, the Yanfang Group's issues wouldn't have been resolved so quickly; I estimate they would still be entangled now."

This was true. If it weren't for the detailed evidence provided by Accountant Ren, it wouldn't have been so easy to convict those people. They would likely still be stuck in the mire, and victory wouldn't necessarily be guaranteed, because the longer such things dragged on, the more troublesome they became, and the opponent's power was also very strong.

Liu Yunqing said, "Yes, Old Xu and I went to visit Accountant Ren a few days ago. Their family is truly miserable. Both husband and wife are in such poor health, and their son still cannot take care of himself. Although there has been some improvement, it's estimated that they will need someone to take care of them for life. You really must thank him well."

Cai Liye said, "Who says otherwise? We wanted to come a while ago, but things in the company were busy to the point of exhaustion. Only by coming to the capital this time could we stop by to see them. The employees in the company organized a fundraising activity for Accountant Ren's family and raised a batch of donations, which we plan to hand over to them this time."

Su Xinghui said, "Actually, you don't need to donate money. Your Director Yu has covered all the medical and living expenses for Accountant Ren's whole family."
