Reborn in Hong Kong, my cousin is Crippled Ho

Chapter 20 Confident and Well-thought-out Lin Yuanshan

Having already practiced together in the morning, by the afternoon, Lin Yuanshan and his four workers were not only less unfamiliar with each other, but their teamwork was also much smoother.

Around five o'clock, Lin Yuanshan and his group went through both the raw material and finished product warehouses and found several discrepancies between the actual inventory and the ledgers.

Without wasting a minute, Lin Yuanshan, along with two others, immediately found Xu Neng.

With witnesses and physical evidence, and written proof, Lao Yu, who was summoned to Xu Neng's office for a confrontation, had no way to defend himself.

Facts speak louder than words. In less than eight hours after being transferred to a new post, Lin Yuanshan discovered so many mistakes he had made during his tenure.

Now, the issue isn't whether Xu Neng is willing to protect Lao Yu, but rather that financial personnel need to be assigned to calculate the extent of the losses these errors have caused to the factory.

If the amount is large, it may need to be reported to the authorities so that the company can decide whether to dismiss the employee or report the incident to the police.

"You bastard, you'll die a horrible death..." Old Yu shouted at Lin Yuanshan repeatedly as he was being escorted away by the factory patrolmen.

Xu Neng first sent the two workers who had been brought by Lin Yuanshan to testify back to the warehouse to work. Then he personally got up, closed the office door, and shut out the gossipy eyes of the employees outside.

Back at his seat, Xu Neng took out his cigarette case, tapped out a Marlboro, and handed it to Lin Yuanshan: "Yuanshan, you're too fast."

On the day he started working, he uncovered the erroneous numbers.

"I've been in the workforce for decades, and the last time I've seen a young person act with such decisiveness and efficiency, do you know who it was?"

Seeing Xu Neng keeping him in suspense, even though Lin Yuanshan already knew the answer, he still cooperated and asked, "Who is it?"

Xu Neng pointed to the ceiling: "Our boss—Li Yicheng!"

"You're comparing me to Li Sheng?" Lin Yuanshan laughed. "Then I must tell Director Xu, thank you for the compliment."

Xu Neng clicked his tongue: "A compliment? A Yuan, do you know you've gotten yourself into trouble?"

The reason why Mr. Li was able to carry out such a large-scale audit within the company was because he had a powerful boss behind him, namely his father-in-law.

what about you?

Who's behind you?

You just arrived and you've already exposed the secrets of the factory's two warehouses.

What's most frustrating is that you brought two workers and swaggered into my office, making it impossible for me to find a way to smooth things over.

Ah Yuan, I'm not blind.

I know very well what underhanded things Lao Yu did during his tenure.

It's not that I don't want to mess with him, but if I do, his nephew, Yu Laoming, the head of the Fu Yi Xing Shek Kip Mei branch, is not someone to be trifled with.

These gangsters are ruthless; in our Shek Kip Mei area, far too many people die mysteriously every day.

Tapping his cigarette ash, Xu Neng rubbed his cheeks vigorously with both hands: "A Yuan, you told me this morning that you came to our factory to learn, and that you plan to open your own plastics factory in the future."

At the time, I thought you were a smart kid.

But I never expected that you would cause such a big mess on your first day of work.

All I can do now is tell you about these interests.

As for your matter with Lao Yu, I will no longer interfere.

"Alright, you can go now. Once we get through this, I'll definitely find a chance to introduce you to Boss Li."

Lin Yuanshan's smile remained unchanged. He pulled out a chair, stood up, opened the door, and walked out with a flourish: "Director Xu, remember your promise. I'm waiting for you to recommend me to Mr. Li."

Upon hearing this, Xu Neng lowered his hands and looked at Lin Yuanshan's back in surprise. He had already explained the pros and cons, yet this handsome guy was still so calm.

Could it be that Rotten Life Horse would stand up for him and stand up to Fish Master Ming?

Do not!

impossible!

When Lao Yu was caught this time, during his three years in office, he secretly colluded with Yu Laoming to steal plastic flower waste from the factory, either by offering low prices or by falsifying accounts.

Even at the lowest market price, it would cost ten to twenty thousand Hong Kong dollars.

If Li Yicheng pursues the matter, Lao Yu will not only be fined, have to return the embezzled funds, and have a criminal record, but also face up to four years in prison.

Thinking further, given Li Yicheng's status in the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce, if he were to mention something to the president of the Chaofeng Chamber of Commerce, who is also the head of Fuyixing's water supply business...

Yu Laoming might be stripped of his position as head of the Shek Kip Mei Hall by Fu Yixing.

With such a deep-seated hatred, Fishman Ming has no chance of giving Rotten Life Horse any face...

Xu Neng felt more and more that Lin Yuanshan had no way to break the deadlock. Just as he was wondering if Lin Yuanshan was just pretending to be calm, he got up to close the door.

Suddenly, the sound of employees talking outside drifted in.

"Wow! So Manager Lin has Director Xu's support. No wonder he dared to provoke Old Yu, this hornet's nest, as soon as he started working."

"Factory manager? Ha. I think it's not just the factory manager. Didn't you hear what A-Yuan said when he came out?"

"Yeah, so what does that mean? The factory manager doesn't like Lao Yu, so he's making empty promises and sending this handsome guy out to be the scapegoat, promising to recommend him to Li Sheng if things go well."

"That's not necessarily the case. It's also possible that Mr. Li is dissatisfied with the management of the Shek Kip Mei branch factory, so he parachuted in this young master to work in concert with Director Xu to thoroughly clean up the factory's atmosphere!"

……

The chatter mingled with the sounds of machinery. Xu Neng stood at the door and listened for a while, discovering that the workers had spread the rumor to an absurd degree that Lin Yuanshan was Li Yicheng's illegitimate son.

"That kid, he did it on purpose!" Xu Neng gritted his teeth and slowly closed the door: "That bastard, I wonder why he had to say that before leaving the house."

This is to guard against the possibility that someone is wary of Lao Yu's influence in the underworld, and is simply using my words as a smokescreen...

Walking back to his chair and sitting down, Xu Neng recalled the entire process of Lin Yuanshan's job interview today.

Finally, after much hesitation, he picked up the receiver and dialed Li Yicheng's private number.

The call connected quickly, and a steady voice came from the other end: "This is Li Yicheng. Who is this?"

"Brother Cheng, it's me, Old Xu from Shek Kip Mei." Xu Neng sat up straight involuntarily and respectfully told the person opposite him the whole story.

Li Yicheng didn't interrupt at all. After he finished speaking, he simply replied "I understand" and hung up the phone.

The call lasted only a short time, less than ten minutes in total.

But for Xu Neng, it felt like a year had passed.

There was no news of Li Yicheng holding him accountable, nor of any action or arrangements being taken against Lao Yu or Lin Yuanshan.

But for Xu Neng, that was enough.

Although his abilities couldn't keep up with Li Yicheng, who was going further and further in the business world, Xu Neng had been with him for more than ten years and could still get a good grasp of the boss's character and temperament.

At least, the other party won't hold him accountable for his leniency towards Lao Yu over the past three years.

"Sigh, all I can say is that the boss really doesn't care about the plastic flower business."

"If it were a few years ago..." Xu Neng sighed, his fingers trembling as he lit a cigarette: "Lin Yuanshan, even if you force me to confess to the boss."

But I still asked you for help in front of the boss, and I hope that in the future you will know the favor I did for you this time.
