Chapter 428: Chapter 428: Thunderous Action

Chen Mingfei was startled and immediately shook his head. "No, President Qiao, that’s not what I meant. I’m just worried that the vice presidents might use various tactics."

"That is also your responsibility as the financial director," Qiao Rui didn’t hold back at all. "If you can’t master the responsibilities within, then your business capabilities are limited."

Chen Mingfei’s face turned pale as he looked at Qiao Rui, his forehead already sweating.

Qiao Rui continued, "Director Chen, what I’m issuing now is the order of the Qiao Family’s president. Just execute the order. If they want to use funds without my signature, you’ll bear all the responsibility and consequences."

Chen Mingfei nodded repeatedly. "Yes!"

Only then did Qiao Rui soften her tone a bit, "I trust Director Chen’s ability. In the past, things were chaotic. Now we’ll go by the official financial rules."

"Yes!" With Qiao Rui’s words, Chen Mingfei gained confidence. "With President Qiao’s assurance, I’m relieved and not afraid to offend anyone."

Qiao Rui smiled and said, "Get busy then."

"Yes!" Chen Mingfei quickly left the president’s office.

Qiao Rui then instructed Gai Yin, "Issue a memo to the entire company. Without my signature, nobody is allowed to utilize the seven hundred million on the account. From now on, strictly follow financial protocols and reduce the financial authority of the vice presidents."

"Understood," Gai Yin said, "I’ll draft it immediately."

Gai Yin was incredibly efficient; the memo was ready in less than twenty minutes.

Qiao Rui glanced at it and said, "Very good. Have Li Chongming distribute it."

"Yes." Gai Yin immediately went to handle it.

Once the memo was out, the finance department was thrilled.

Following strict financial protocols would be the best for the finance department.

Meanwhile, Qiao Liansheng and Qiao Sihua, as vice presidents of the Qiao Family, couldn’t sit still after seeing the memo.

Qiao Liansheng found his younger brother Qiao Sihua and asked, "Old Five, why do I feel today’s memo is targeting us?"

"Isn’t it?" Qiao Sihua also felt that Qiao Rui was targeting them, "Fourth Brother, I feel Qiao Rui is curtailing our financial power."

Qiao Liansheng said, "That girl is quite something, turning around seven hundred million in no time. It seems she is consolidating power and trying to weaken our hold."

"Fourth Brother, the eldest brother’s family has already been taken care of. Do you think she’ll come after us next?" Qiao Sihua asked in a low voice.

Qiao Liansheng was stunned for a moment, his expression shifting, "What good would it do to come after us? Do we deserve to be dealt with?"

Qiao Sihua was also taken aback, then met his brother’s gaze, "Right, there’s nothing we’ve done wrong. We stand upright and act with integrity."

"Exactly!" Qiao Liansheng sneered, "And besides, there’s still Old Three."

"Old Three hasn’t made any moves recently."

"Even if he did, he wouldn’t let you know," Qiao Liansheng said, "Let’s observe first and speak up when necessary."

"Don’t worry, Fourth Brother, I know when to speak and when not to. When the time comes, us brothers will work together to seize the greatest power." Over the years, Qiao Sihua had been cooperating with Qiao Liansheng to siphon off many personal benefits from the Qiao Family.

"Very good!" Qiao Liansheng gave a sinister smile, then quickly left Qiao Sihua’s office.

Gai Yin entered the president’s office to report, "President Qiao, five minutes after the memo was issued, Vice President Qiao Liansheng went to Vice President Qiao Sihua’s office, and they talked for ten minutes."

Qiao Rui chuckled, "Let them talk, there’s no need to waste time on them."

Gai Yin was taken aback, "President Qiao, what if they find ways to deal with you?"

"I operate by the company’s rules, and it will be them who feel uncomfortable," Qiao Rui laughed, "Do you think I’m afraid of them causing trouble? I want them to cause trouble so that I can justifiably deal with them."

Gai Yin instantly understood and laughed along, "President Qiao, I get it now."

Just then, He Zheng’s call came in.

Qiao Rui picked it up.

He Zheng said, "President Qiao, sorry for not getting back to you sooner. My father had some matters outside that delayed us, so I’m only getting back to you now."

"No problem," Qiao Rui said with a smile.

"My dad agreed to the partnership," He Zheng said, "He also asked me to thank you, President Qiao, for the courtesy extended to our He Family."

Qiao Rui smiled, "President He and Old President He are too kind, President He is always sincere."

"Yes, sincere," He Zheng also laughed, "By the way, it’s getting to the end of work hours after the business talk. Let’s talk personal matters now."

Qiao Rui glanced at her watch, it was past five o’clock.

She said, "President He, feel free to speak."

"Sis-in-law, then I’ll be direct. Let’s have a gathering tonight. Me, Liyan, you, and Fang Mo, Si Ran, how about coming over to my place for some fun?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Rui suddenly understood the subtlety of the arrangement.

She smiled and said, "Liyan, Fang Mo, and I are just the props, right? The person you’re really inviting is Si Ran?"

"Haha!" He Zheng laughed, "Sis-in-law, let’s not spell things out too clearly. If you’ve figured it out, don’t point it out, it makes people very embarrassed."

Qiao Rui laughed, "Alright, let’s also invite He Lan. Since it’s for fun, let’s all have a good time together."

"Sure," He Zheng agreed, then added, "But He Lan is quite rambunctious and doesn’t have much sense, always speaking frivolously."

"No worries, it’s good to have her," Qiao Rui laughed, "she’ll liven up the atmosphere."

"Okay, then I’ll call her," He Zheng said.

After hanging up, He Zheng also called He Lan.

Upon hearing that Qiao Rui would be there, He Lan was immediately thrilled, "Then I’m going, I’m definitely going."

He Zheng was speechless, "I knew we couldn’t do without you."

"Of course," He Lan said, "You care less about me than my mentor does. She knows to invite me to gatherings, yet you thought about not inviting me, that’s really not fair."

He Zheng couldn’t be bothered to argue with her, "Then get ready, see you later."

"See you later."

Qiao Rui packed up her things, preparing to leave work, "Sister Yin, have the reporters downstairs left?"

"Some are still staking out," Gai Yin said, "Our Qiao Family is quite the hot spot now; the reporters want to capture some sensational news here."

"Let’s divert attention," Qiao Rui said calmly, "Spread rumors about Liang Jinqian and Su Mei."

Gai Yin laughed, "Understood, President Qiao. Everyone’s been eager to see Su Mei’s downfall. With her poor character, having used connections with Liang Jinqian’s improper dealings, she even tried to harm you."

"It’s something that has to be done. I thought Su Mei would behave, but she continues to act brazenly. If she’s so unruly, let’s take down her arrogance a notch."

It will also make Liang Jinqian to restrain himself; he has been overly active lately.

Su Mei has been an old rival of hers. When she was Rui Qing, she constantly suppressed her.

This time, she would swiftly and quietly deal with her.

"Alright, President Qiao, I’ll notify them to release the photos of Liang Jinqian and Su Mei." Gai Yin immediately sent out the message.

Shortly after sending the message, Pei Liyan arrived, and the front desk informed them that Pei Liyan requested to come upstairs.

Qiao Rui smiled, "Tell Mr. Pei to wait downstairs; I’ll head down now."
