Skipping levels to report misconduct is a cardinal sin in the workplace.
Once you do that, it’s a fight to the death, with no room for turning back.
As a direct subsidiary of the Huainan branch, Qi Wei’s daring act of bypassing his immediate boss to report directly to the headquarters was not only a testament to his extraordinary courage but also indicated that he possessed incontrovertible evidence.
Upon arriving in Huainan, Meng Jiye didn’t rest but accompanied Shi Zhenhua straight from the airport to the three mining sites for inspection.
Everyone was an old fox in the business world; after two days of investigation, they essentially had a clear understanding of the issues with Huainan Energy.
"Brother-in-law, I’ve already had someone investigate. The head of Anmei Group has a very close private relationship with Chu Tai. Moreover, even if the productivity of these three mining areas is poor, it shouldn’t be only Anmei Group that’s interested. I suspect all of this has been premeditated."
Inside a five-star hotel in Huainan, Meng Jiye spoke bluntly, "Eight or nine times out of ten, Chu Tai has a quid pro quo relationship with Anmei Group. This is not merely a simple failed investment, it’s very likely a case of Chu Tai colluding with Anmei Group, conspiring to steal company wealth!"
The Meng Family indeed had some business in Huainan, and sniffing out some inside information was far from difficult.
"The acquisition of those three mining areas two years ago was Chu Tai’s own willful act, paying a premium over the market price, which has since plunged Huainan Energy into a financial shortage. When Huainan Energy faced a liquidity crisis and couldn’t turn things around, he turned a blind eye, made no attempt to help, clearly forcing Huainan Energy to undersell the mining areas - his intentions are malicious."
MeiLing assessed him as mediocre, but relative to others. In terms of business acumen, Meng Jiye was still far beyond the average person. In just a few words, he laid out the essence of the matter.
"Brother-in-law, you trusted him so much, to give him control over all of Huainan, only to find out he’s such a treacherous, double-dealing bastard!"
Meng Jiye’s voice was full of hate, seeming righteously indignant, but in fact, he was pointing at the mulberry tree and cursing the locust.
Chu Tai’s appointment as the top executive in Huainan was personally made by Shi Zhenhua, the chairman.
Actually, Meng Jiye had wanted to place his own person in that position, which would work well with his own family’s business in Huainan, but naturally, things didn’t go as he wished.
Who could have foreseen that Chu Tai would end up causing such a serious issue?
More than a hundred billion yuan.
This was no small sum.
Someone must be held responsible.
Chu Tai was undoubtedly finished; there was no doubt about that, but Meng Jiye was not satisfied with just that.
He wanted to extend the fire to his former brother-in-law.
Of course.
Expecting to burn the other party to death was wishful thinking, but it was good enough to cause some serious discomfort.
The problem did lie with Chu Tai, indeed, but as the person who placed him in such an important position, Shi Zhenhua, the chairman, inevitably could not escape a mistake in judgment.
A dike collapses due to an ant hole.
If there were a few more people like Chu Tai, a few more such troubles, even the founder of the group, Shi Zhenhua, definitely couldn’t withstand it and might be forced to resign due to responsibility.
"One hundred and fifty-two billion, heh, quite the appetite, if it wasn’t for that clever Qi, who knew this was too big a pot to carry, Chu Tai might have truly succeeded. When the time came, he could push all the responsibility onto Qi and come out squeaky clean himself."
Meng Jiye laughed coldly.
Shi Zhenhua pinched the bridge of his nose.
"He didn’t seem like this kind of person back then."
"Brother-in-law, people change. Sitting in his current position, he faces all kinds of temptations every day. It’s no surprise he’s become corrupt."
"You’re right."
Shi Zhenhua nodded, speaking softly, "The human heart is hard to predict, and greed is never satisfied."
Finally willing to admit his mistake?
Meng Jiye felt an inner satisfaction, though it didn’t show on his face.
"Brother-in-law, we’ve been here for two days, yet Chu Tai has not shown his face. It’s impossible that he’s heard nothing. It only indicates that he’s guilty and is deliberately avoiding us."
"What do you think we should do?"
Meng Jiye didn’t hesitate, "Chu Tai’s actions are extremely deplorable. He should be immediately stripped of his position, with an investigation team deployed to conduct a thorough review. I believe the problems with Huainan Energy are not limited to his first offense; who knows how many company assets he has plundered before this. As soon as we have evidence, we report it to the authorities and send him to prison."
Meng Jiye spoke with conviction, expressing a deep hatred for evil.
Shi Zhenhua remained silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Meng Jiye, of course, understood what he was thinking.
If the man he promoted was truly sent to jail, it would be a significant blow to his credibility, no matter how you looked at it.
His former brother-in-law had never been the soft-hearted kind, and right now, he probably hated Chu Tai more than anyone and wished to flay and eviscerate him. But because of face, he had to forcibly endure.
"Brother-in-law, at times like these, we can’t afford to be merciful. This black sheep must not be coddled. Now is the time to make an example, to set a precedent for the entire company!"
Meng Jiye earnestly advised.
"Who do you think should succeed Chu Tai once he’s taken down?"
Shi Zhenhua asked calmly, his expression betraying neither joy nor anger.
The normally eloquent Meng Jiye suddenly fell silent.
Heh.
As expected.
Who knew how many blunders Chu Tai, that ingrate, had made behind the scenes? He had chosen the wrong person, leaving behind a mess, expecting him to clean it up?
"Brother-in-law, I have someone to recommend."
"Who?"
"Ouyang Cheng."
