Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1259 - 1258: Unfortunately, I Heard It

Ye Jingli was momentarily speechless, wanting to say something, but she noticed the butler already entering with the keys.

She stamped her feet in anger, knowing she couldn’t really call Xiao Zhen. Xiao Zhen already knew she was being cheated on, and calling him now would only result in the opposite outcome.

The butler found it strange; according to Ye Jingli’s previous character, she would have immediately called Xiao Zhen. But today, why did she just talk and not act?

The butler couldn’t understand everything, but neither could Xiao Zhen’s butler, so he shook his head and warned those around him not to open the door for Ye Jingli.

Meanwhile, when Xu Ke returned to the branch office, he found that Chang Jingshu had managed the branch very well, almost without any mistakes, with the help of Secretary Zhou.

As he entered the office, he noticed Chang Jingshu was also there, sitting at another small table, looking at the Finance Department Director, and directly threw a document on the ground.

"This is what you’ve made for me. I told you that every employee’s salary must be paid monthly, but what have you done? You’ve paid the leadership salary but not the grass-roots employees. How are they supposed to live? Everyone has to make a living, and you can’t just not pay the employees because of a lack of money. Where exactly did the money go?"

"Although our company has indeed spent a lot of money recently, all that spending has been accounted for. Even though the amounts are large recently, don’t think I don’t know. Who do you think I am, Chang Jingshu? I come from a finance background. Where has all the money gone? I expect an answer from you by tomorrow. If you can’t provide one, you can get lost."

The Finance Department Director was genuinely scared at this point and could only plead sincerely, "I haven’t touched the money, Vice President Chang. How can you pin this all on me? And the company really used a lot of money this time, it’s simply gone. If you don’t believe me, go see for yourself."

Chang Jingshu heard this and sneered coldly, looking at the Finance Department Director who had followed her for years.

"Don’t think that just because I recently took a leave of absence, I can be easily fooled. I am well aware of the money matters, and I’ve already reviewed the finance department’s books. If it were possible, you’d be in jail."

"Also, don’t try to fool the president. The president is shrewd. Don’t think your little tricks can make waves in the company."

Upon hearing this, the Finance Department Director knew he was finished. That amount of money was indeed taken by him, but he didn’t expect Chang Jingshu to return at such a critical moment. Wasn’t it said that Chang Jingshu was going to take a six-month leave?

If he knew Chang Jingshu would return, the Finance Department Director would never have taken that money.

The Finance Department Director took advantage of Chang Jingshu’s absence, thinking the new president would be easy to fool, hence the scheme. But now, being exposed by Chang Jingshu, he could only play the sentiment card.

"I mean, Sister Chang, we’ve worked together for so many years. Can’t you not treat me this way? I promise I’ll make up for it."

But after hearing this, Chang Jingshu sneered coldly, "If you could genuinely make up for this money, you wouldn’t have embezzled it. I expect the full amount returned to me."

The Finance Department Director’s heart sank when he heard "full amount," seeing the change in Chang Jingshu’s expression.

"I’ve said, Chang Jingshu, we’ve been here for so many years. How can you do this? You want to report to the president, right?"

"You’re really a tigress, truly impartial and just the president’s henchman, reporting everything. Fine. Go ahead, report. Anyway, the money, I’m not bringing it. Let’s see what you do. Aren’t you just relying on your status? Years ago, if you hadn’t competed with me, I’d be vice president now. Don’t think I don’t hold grudges, that I’m not a paper tiger. It’s just this little money. After all the contributions to the company, what’s wrong with taking some money?"

Xu Ke leaned against the door, wanting to see how Chang Jingshu would handle this.

Chang Jingshu lifted her eyes, picked up the pen beside her, gripping it as she spoke humorously, "Do you know why you didn’t get the vice president position years ago despite competing with me?"

Seeing the Finance Department Director’s confused expression, Chang Jingshu solved the mystery for him, "Because you were incompetent. You really think you’re something. I feel ashamed for you. Since you mentioned you still hold a grudge against me, please make up the accounts by tomorrow. If not, then wait for the court summons."

The Finance Department Director snorted viciously and took out his phone, "Fine, let’s see whom the president sides with once he returns. Typically, presidents don’t tolerate vice presidents. I’ll claim you spent the money, so what?"

"I’ll tell the president I considered our relationship at the time and so didn’t write an IOU, and the president wouldn’t know."

Chang Jingshu was a bit nervous upon hearing this, but showed no sign of it outwardly.

The Finance Department Director felt like he was hearing death’s call from Hell.

Unbeknownst to him, Xu Ke stood right behind him.

"I’m sorry, I now know, so we’ll follow the vice president’s method. If you can’t make up this money, prepare for the court summons."

The Finance Department Director shook with fear upon realizing the president had appeared at this moment. The president was famously strict and wouldn’t let this go, even harsher than Chang Jingshu. Seeing this, he knew he was finished.

"Well, President, I’ll definitely make up for this money tomorrow, but you need to give me a little time. My family urgently needs the money, my mother is sick, so I embezzled the money. I hope you can understand."

After speaking, Xu Ke paused, surprised that the Finance Department Director faced difficulties. He was about to speak when Chang Jingshu stood up and walked to Xu Ke’s side.

"Oh, I remember two years ago colleagues went to your mother’s grave to lay flowers, didn’t they? How come? Your mother is suddenly back from the dead?"

Hearing this, the Finance Department Director wanted to strangle Chang Jingshu. How annoying is she? Just as he moved the president, she’s heartless.

Xu Ke couldn’t help but laugh, realizing his vice president truly gave no room for maneuver. And this Finance Department Director, using his deceased mother emotionally, truly lacked a moral compass. Such a person pollutes the company’s environment.

"Enough, stop talking. Follow the vice president’s directions. Tomorrow I expect to see you, and bring the missing accounts to me."
