Chapter 778: Chapter 779: 60s Siheyuan 27_1

"Me." Zhang Yu pointed to herself, "Just assigned to the finance department of the machinery factory."

"When it comes to the financial process of the machinery factory, I’m utterly clueless, knowing absolutely nothing, yet you actually, you let me take charge of this."

"I, I..." Zhang Yu offered a wry smile of resignation, "Although I did study finance for three years."

"And I’ve done internships at units, but you should also know that as an intern, one would never encounter such problems."

"I, I..." Zhang Yu felt that her selection by Chief Feng wasn’t only because she was an accounting major, but more importantly,

"My dad does work in the steel rolling mill, but he is not from the financial department."

"You think I have the least interaction with the steel rolling mill, making me the most suitable candidate."

Chief Feng nodded, "Right."

"I’ve thought about many people, but as you know, when losses are reported, if someone tampers with the data, it has to go through many departments."

Zhang Yu nodded, "I know about the quality inspection department, the warehouse, logistics, the transport team, the security department, and even the workshops."

"Of course, the finance department is also an unavoidable link in the chain," Zhang Yu let out a long sigh.

Her face really wasn’t looking good, "With this development, I am in great danger, aren’t I?"

Zhang Yu remembered that the original host had an incident shortly after joining the steel rolling mill, which also occurred after working overtime and was killed in an alley for doing a good deed.

Was she, a new finance employee who had just started working overtime shortly after joining the job, offending the leadership?

Now thinking about it, the original host must have received this task, and the so-called overtime must have been reviewing the inventory records and the workshop’s ledgers, among others.

What should have been a secret investigation had leaked, and those people, desperate, thought about killing the original host to stop Chief Feng and others from investigating.

The original host didn’t realize that her death wasn’t so simple; apparently, there had been incidents of harassment involving female workers after their shifts near the factory.

Whether Chief Feng and the others would put the two together was also an unknown.

This task was unavoidable, so she could only take it on, "Okay, Chief, I’ll do my best to investigate."

She had thought about avoiding the same incident when it happened again; she definitely didn’t want to play the good Samaritan, and whatever happened to that girl was none of her concern.

But now that it involved the original host’s cause of death, she couldn’t just let it go; those people had to be caught to see if there was a mastermind behind it all.

Zhang Yu didn’t believe those people would have left no trace; if they left even a slight trace, she would be able to force their mouths open.

Once exposed from the outside, the inside wouldn’t be a problem. Zhang Yu remembered that the original host had a protective dagger. Initially, she thought the workplace was close to home and didn’t want to carry it.

Now, she realized she should carry it; it would be vital for self-defense if anyone attacked her.

"Good, your work will be assigned to the cost accounting team," Chief Feng remembered something he heard earlier, "Did you call the police last night?"

Zhang Yu hummed in acknowledgment, there was nothing to deny; she told him everything from what happened yesterday afternoon to this morning.

"The canteen personnel are giving me a hard time; can I go to the union, to Director Yang?"

Zhang Yu was just reporting in passing, whether Chief Feng agreed was truly not within her scope of concern.

"Of course, you can. The canteen is part of the logistics organization, and its job is to serve everyone."

"Like you said, the leftover food that your neighbor took home is skimming off everyone’s rations."

Chief Feng certainly knew about some people’s conduct in the canteen, "The meals prepared by Sha Zhu, they’re well-liked by Director Yang and others when entertaining clients, solving quite a few issues."

He simply explained why Sha Zhu hadn’t been dealt with, "But Sha Zhu usually only targets workers, and they wouldn’t dare confront anyone from the finance department."

Indeed, was Sha Zhu really foolish? If he truly were, he wouldn’t know any so-called higher-ups.

"It’s all about playing favorites," Zhang Yu understood, "What if he targets me?"

"You’re from the finance department, and I am the head of finance; if he does that, he’s looking down on the finance department," Chief Feng said with palpable authority.

She couldn’t step in before because the victims weren’t her subordinates, but now it was different; Zhang Yu was her subordinate, and she had to lend a hand.

Not to mention that she was counting on Zhang Yu to uncover the issues; if she couldn’t even take care of this young lady in such a minor matter, who else would carry out the tasks she assigned?

"Okay, thank you, Chief Feng," Zhang Yu acknowledged Chief Feng’s supportive stance.

As Zhang Yu was preparing to leave, Chief Feng called out to her, "After you go out?"

"I’ll just say you asked about yesterday’s incident," Zhang Yu knew the task couldn’t be disclosed, but since everyone had seen her enter the office, no one would believe there was nothing to report.

"Alright," Chief Feng gestured for Zhang Yu to leave.

When Zhang Yu arrived in the large office, everyone looked at her, and the cashier Gu Fengchun directly asked, "Zhang Yu, what did the chief want with you?"

Some continued their work, others looked up at her. Zhang Yu quickly scanned the room and found no problematic individuals, "It’s about the incident at my house yesterday. The chief was just asking."

"All that just for this?" The others were skeptical; although the incident was quite serious, it didn’t seem like something the chief would personally inquire about, let alone call her into his office for.

"It wasn’t just about last night when Jia Dongxu broke into my house, trying to kill me. The chief was worried about my emotional state and asked if I was going to take a few days off," Zhang Yu explained.

Upon hearing this, everyone seemed to understand; anyone would fear for their life if they were in a situation like what happened to Zhang Yu and her sister over a house dispute.

"Then why don’t you take time off?" If the chief gave the word, why didn’t Zhang Yu take a leave?

"Taking time off doesn’t mean losing pay, does it?" Zhang Yu spread her hands helplessly, "Now it’s just my sister and me at home. If I don’t work hard to make money, how are we to live?"

"Isn’t there the compensation money?" And surely, Zhang Hao, a veteran driver, wouldn’t be without savings.

"There is compensation money, but it’s not for use, just in case something happens."

"Besides, I can’t just spend the things my parents traded their lives for," Zhang Yu took a deep breath.

"Going to work might keep trouble at bay, whereas staying home wouldn’t give me rest."

The others didn’t know about the incident this morning; it hadn’t spread yet.

Seeing Zhang Yu now, it was clear there was more to the story this morning, and even those busy with work put down what they were doing, eager to hear what happened next.

"Someone knelt down this morning, demanding I write a letter of forgiveness; of course, I wasn’t happy about it." She recounted this morning’s incident.

Despite not knowing how things would unfold or if Qin Huairu would come to work at the steel rolling mill, it was worth mentioning now.

When the real deal arrives in the future, everyone will have a more direct understanding; even if they forget in a few days.

No matter, when the real Qin Huairu arrives, they’ll remember this incident.
