Chapter 324: Chapter 315: Someone’s Causing Trouble

However, in Lin’s Office, there’s really nothing to do when you’re idle. Generally, the bosses are like that—when there’s work, the secretarial room handles it; when there isn’t, the secretary can do it. But Lin Mu’s career has just started, and the company is currently in a state of loss, so Lin Mu hasn’t had the mind to hire an attractive vase to sit in the office. Of course, if the business gets better and everything follows the right track, Lin Mu will definitely think about flowers, at least hiring a girl with good ****. One day if he’s really bored with nothing to do, he could let her kneel and lick a bit; wouldn’t life be grand!

But not now, the company is still losing money, Lin Mu can’t play those tricks yet. First, he has to get work up and running before thinking about other things, so he called Chen Dawei into his private office.

"Boss Lin, you were looking for me!" Chen Dawei said as he came in.

Lin Mu nodded and asked, "Manager Chen, how is the company’s performance lately?"

"The performance is very impressive, it’s been continuously rising. Boss Lin’s management strategy is indeed very effective! The workers have all tasted the sweetness. Now their work enthusiasm is very high, and if we keep going like this, it will be easy to raise the performance to the highest level in history!" Chen Dawei said with a smile.

"Oh! Not bad, the higher the performance, the more detailed the company’s performance review must be; we can’t afford any mistakes. This is the focus of our new company: to prevent exaggerated claims, we must not let the performance become like the exaggerated style of the Cultural Revolution. Otherwise, the company might collapse, and our income and status would also be finished. So you understand my point, right?" Lin Mu looked at Chen Dawei and asked.

"Don’t worry, Boss Lin, I personally review every single bill, and there won’t be any mistakes!" Chen Dawei replied.

"Oh, right, the head of the sales department is called Li Faji, right? Which business area is he mainly responsible for?" Lin Mu asked.

"Li Faji is still responsible for the company’s foreign trade. He has close business contacts with several major companies in Wancheng, such as the Han Family and the Chen Family, so he has close relationships with various partner companies in Wancheng!" Chen Dawei explained.

"Oh, he also has contacts with the Han Family? In that case, I must look into him!" Lin Mu’s mind flickered with an idea, and he said to Chen Dawei, "Why don’t you get me a list of the previous foreign trade accounts? I’m still not very familiar with the accounts myself."

From his intuition, Lin Mu felt that there was something wrong with this Li Faji. Although there is no evidence, Lin Mu would rather trust his magical Seventh Sense. His hunches have always been accurate, and from Li Faji’s previous bits of words, Lin Mu could sense the occasional hostility from that person’s heart!

This guy seemingly hasn’t ever thought of fighting for higher wages or other benefits for the workers. He’s simply here to prevent Lin Mu from taking control of the Steel Company, so who’s supporting him from behind?

In the last meeting, Li Faji’s speech repeatedly irritated Lin Mu, and Lin Mu has always been disdainful of these ingrates. But arbitrarily firing him without evidence isn’t appropriate either! So an investigation is necessary to see if there’s any misconduct or unworthiness, and find a chance to kick him out. A person like him, holding sway over trade matters in the company, if he has any ulterior motives, is bound to bring severe harm to the company.

Moreover, in state-owned enterprises, employees working in trade or procurement are the most likely to earn their first bucket of gold and set up their own ventures. In reality, these people are exploiting loopholes in the company, just like a pest, if they don’t cause some trouble they’d feel they’re letting down their sensitive position!

"Alright, Boss Lin, I’ll have the finance department bring over the detailed bills right away!" Chen Dawei said, made a call to the finance department, and quickly brought over the bills to Lin Mu.

"Manager Chen, have you already reviewed these accounts?" Lin Mu asked, holding the bills.

Chen Dawei smiled and didn’t hide anything, "Boss Lin, you know the company’s previous state as well. All the accounts were handled by accountants, plus there’s auditing, so I haven’t intervened much!"

"Heh, no worries; take a good look. Maybe you can spot some issues!" Lin Mu smiled as he handed over the bills to Chen Dawei.

Chen Dawei looked puzzled for a moment, furrowed his brows, and asked, "Boss Lin, what do you mean?"

"I don’t mean anything specific; checking could lead to some findings. Earlier management wasn’t strict, and there might be some issues. Finding problems is a good thing; we can take precautions early!" Lin Mu smiled and said.

Chen Dawei nodded, "Alright, I’ll go and check right away!"

After sending Chen Dawei off, Lin Mu sat alone in the office, smoking and contemplating how to reasonably get rid of the sales department’s Li Faji. Someone like him staying around is bound to cause trouble!

But Lin Mu was also at a loss for what to do—finding loopholes in the accounts seemed like the only option. Publicly and fairly kicking him out might stir suspicion and gossip among the employees. The workers’ dissatisfaction was hard to soothe, and he absolutely couldn’t let those sentiments resurface!

An hour later, Chen Dawei knocked on the door outside the office and entered, looking somewhat upset.

"Heh, Manager Chen, have you finished verifying the accounts?" Lin Mu asked with a smile at Chen Dawei.

"Boss Lin, they’re all verified. There are some problems with the accounts. The total sales amount and the company’s actual profit amount differ by several million!" Chen Dawei looked at Lin Mu and asked as if observing his expression.

But Lin Mu’s expression didn’t change much, calm as if he had expected it, "Whose hand do these all go through?"

"It’s precisely Li Faji!" Chen Dawei said, paused for three seconds, then suddenly widened his glasses as if he had noticed something unusual. Because Lin Mu had previously asked about Li Faji, could it be that Lin Mu had already sensed something? This boss’s vigilance is too high, almost prophetic!

"Roughly how much is the difference?" Lin Mu asked.

"Over five million!"

"Over five million? Damn bastard, this guy is ballsy enough to embezzle over five million from the company, and if he’s colluding with outsiders even more, who knows how much more he’ll pocket from it."

"Boss, sure, the accounts have issues and passed through Li Faji’s hands, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that Li Faji did it himself, right? In today’s democratic society, at least we need evidence. Li Faji has been working here for over ten years; if we dismiss him, it might stir up rumors within the factory, which would be unfavorable for Boss Lin!" Chen Dawei understood Lin Mu’s intentions but was still somewhat worried.
