Chapter 325 - 316: Li Faji Has a Problem

Chapter 325: Chapter 316: Li Faji Has a Problem

"Heh, rest assured, before the company stabilizes and grows stronger, I won’t lay off employees without reason. Besides, everything must be backed by evidence. I can’t just make unilateral decisions because I’m the company president. We still adhere to democratic centralism. As for the evidence, it will be available soon. Not only do I want to dismiss Li Faji, I want him to cough up all the money he’s swallowed!" Lin Mu smiled coldly.

Now, Chen Dawei’s identity is no longer something like the secretary or president of a state-owned enterprise, but an employee under Lin Mu. Although his position is relatively high, he certainly can’t go against the boss’s decisions. Lin Mu’s intent was clear: Li Faji is not someone they can keep.

Since the big boss said so, Chen Dawei had no choice but to comply!

"Don’t worry, Boss Lin. If we do dismiss Li Faji, it won’t affect our Steel Company’s business. He’s just a source of customers and has extensive dealings with Wancheng’s elite Han Family!" Chen Dawei said, unaware of the grudges between Lin Mu and Han Si Hai.

"What? Han Family, you mean Han Si Hai? Our company has trade relations with Han Si Hai?" Lin Mu asked with a frown. It was truly frustrating, as if everything somehow involved Han Si Hai!

"That’s right, Li Faji’s biggest business client is the Han Family. Han Si Hai buys goods from us and then ships them to other places by sea. Their trade relations are very close, and Han Si Hai has a very high demand for steel!" Chen Dawei nodded.

"Heh, there’s a trick here. No wonder I always felt something was wrong. Turns out, there’s a connection with Han Si Hai. If my guess is correct, there’s definitely something shady between these two!"

Lin Mu finally guessed the truth, couldn’t help but smile coldly, finally understanding why Li Faji targeted him from the start. It must be that grandson Han Si Hai pulling strings from the shadows! These two are definitely in cahoots.

"Boss Lin, do you also know Han Si Hai?" Chen Dawei asked.

"Of course, he’s one of the top elites in Wancheng, how could I not know? And I’m quite familiar with him!" Lin Mu said with a cold smile.

Chen Dawei noticed Lin Mu’s smile carried a hint of disdain and realized the kind of relationship between the two, so it was not appropriate to ask further questions in this situation.

"Manager Chen, has Li Faji recently had any account records with clients?" Lin Mu asked.

"There’s one transaction, around fifty million. Recently, the Steel Company workers have been working as if on steroids, naturally increasing production. Li Faji recently traded a batch of steel two days ago, but it wasn’t with Han Si Hai, it was with another client!" Chen Dawei replied.

"Good, haha, whether it’s Han Si Hai or not, as long as there’s a transaction. With such a large amount, he’s sure to skim some off the top. If we find out he took even a little, that’s economic crime!" Lin Mu laughed coldly.

Chen Dawei understood Lin Mu’s intentions and nodded immediately. "Alright, boss, I’ll go investigate immediately. Since it’s a recent transaction, it should be easy to track, and we can find out quickly!"

"Alright, get on it quickly. I’ll be waiting for you!" Lin Mu said with a smile.

Chen Dawei nodded and left the office, muttering to himself, "Li Faji is really unlucky to run into a boss like Lin Mu, who is practically a menace. Lin Mu probably won’t let him off easily, even if Han Si Hai is backing him. Judging by Lin Mu’s expression, he doesn’t even regard Han Si Hai!"

The fact is, Lin Mu indeed had the backing of someone as powerful as a Provincial Committee Secretary. Anyone with such a strong backing could walk sideways on Wancheng’s streets! The Han Family might be Wancheng’s top elite, but compared to a Provincial Committee Secretary, they’re nothing at all!

After Chen Dawei left, Lin Mu found himself idle again, so he called Qi Manlin.

"Hey, officer beauty, what are you up to?"

As soon as the call connected, Lin Mu had no serious demeanor, completely shedding his big boss image.

"Working. What do you want?" Qi Manlin replied.

"If I’m calling you, the police, it means I have something. Come over and help me catch someone. Although it’s not exactly catching, just a little intimidation will do!" Lin Mu said with a laugh.

"You rascal, what trick are you playing this time?" Qi Manlin asked, knowing that whenever Lin Mu had a bad idea, he would call her.

"Hey, I’m serious this time. Our Flying Dragon Steel Company found a corrupt department head, and that’s basically an economic crime, right? He even has business dealings with Han Si Hai. So, I’m planning to use this opportunity to borrow some money from them!" Lin Mu said casually, as if full of confidence.

Qi Manlin understood what Lin Mu meant by borrowing money. To put it bluntly, it’s extortion! Last time, they managed to take seven million from Zhang Yangwei. This time, who knows how many millions it would be when he says a few bucks?

Qi Manlin was more than willing to go along with Lin Mu on these matters. For some reason, working with Lin Mu always felt exhilarating, thrilling, and satisfying. Especially when she could seize huge amounts of money from the other side without having to put in any effort herself. That feeling was intensely gratifying!

"Alright, I’ll come find you in a while!" Qi Manlin said.

"Hey, no need to rush. Even if you’re an hour or two late, it’s fine!" Lin Mu laughed and hung up the phone.

About twenty minutes later, Chen Dawei knocked on Lin Mu’s office door again,

"Boss, it’s me, Chen Dawei!"

"Come in, Manager Chen!"

Chen Dawei entered, his face full of surprise. What shocked him wasn’t how much money Li Faji had embezzled, but rather Lin Mu’s sharp insight. It was as if he was like Zhuge Liang, capable of foretelling the past 500 years and the future 500 years with incredible accuracy!

This time, Li Faji had indeed siphoned off about a million dollars in secret transactions. This was something Chen Dawei had to confess to Boss Lin,

"Boss, we’ve discovered that Li Faji indeed has a problem. This transaction was entirely handled by him. After checking the accounts and the sale of steel, there’s a discrepancy of over a million. No one else besides Li Faji was involved!" Chen Dawei reported.

"So, now the evidence is sufficient, don’t you think?" Lin Mu smiled.

"More than enough, more than enough. There’s ample reason to not just dismiss him, but to arrest him. This involves economic crime—he could face over ten years in prison and hefty fines!" Chen Dawei said.

Lin Mu sneered as he picked up his desk phone, dialing an internal extension, which was Li Faji’s office, to inform him to come to his office immediately.

Ten minutes later, Li Faji knocked on the door, then walked in with a calm expression. Sensing something was off, perhaps due to guilty conscience, he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was about to go wrong,

"Boss Lin, was there something you wanted to see me about?" Li Faji asked as he approached Lin Mu.
