Chapter 832: Chapter 833: 1960s Quadrangle Courtyard 81

Chief Feng looked at the figures in the notebook, her eyes reddened with anger. Although she hadn’t checked them yet, her intuition told her they must be correct.

"No way, I have to find Director Yang." Such a big blunder had been exposed, and many people couldn’t avoid it.

At times like this, it was necessary for a top boss to step up and take responsibility, but her position as the head of finance really meant nothing.

Zhang Yu rode home, aware that tonight, many leaders of the rolling mill were destined to have a sleepless night.

If these figures were confirmed, even someone with a background like Director Yang wouldn’t end up well.

Moreover, this was not something that could be covered up. If it were ordinary steel, the leaders of the rolling mill, even if disgruntled, would have to keep the trouble minor and make adjustments within the factory.

But the biggest issue now was that special steel had gone missing, which was no small matter.

If someone with ill intent took it, the resulting loss would truly be significant.

Just as Zhang Yu was thinking, Director Yang, who had already lain down to rest, was very upset upon seeing Chief Feng, "I told you, Sister Feng, if you had something to find me for, you didn’t have to rush over like this."

Seeing Director Yang was clearly unhappy, Chief Feng could only endure it, and her mood immediately lifted somewhat.

"It is extremely urgent." Chief Feng quickly recounted what had happened when Zhang Yu had stayed late to finish up work that evening.

Listening to Chief Feng, Director Yang’s expression changed repeatedly, "Zhang Yu didn’t mention it to you, and they were privately investigating. They could make a move on Zhang Yu."

"What does that tell us?"

"It indicates that there are insiders working with them in the finance department." Director Yang knew that with the situation escalating to this point, many departments’ staff must have been implicated.

"This can’t just be let go." If it were before, Director Yang obviously wouldn’t have wanted this incident to become widely known, to avoid criticism of his competence.

But now that concealment was clearly impossible, he decided to look at it from another angle—use this opportunity to implement some rules and regulations for the factory. Such incidents absolutely must not happen again in the future.

"Old Feng, let’s head to the factory; go and check the figures again."

"I’ll call the rest to the factory as well." Director Yang quickly called several deputies and other leaders from surrounding factories.

It was time for everyone to rest, and unexpectedly, Director Yang didn’t rest but called them up, truly outrageous.

Before they could ask questions, Director Yang explained the situation swiftly, "I’ve never seen such audacious people."

"Removing factory property and still so brazen." Director Yang was fuming, "This time they won’t get off lightly."

"Whoever is found out, no matter whose child they are, in any case, they must go where they belong."

"Yes, it must be so." People on Director Yang’s side, of course, agreed with all kinds of approval.

Deputy Director Li was actually also very angry; he was mainly responsible for logistical work.

He had been striving to do everything well, just hoping to show the higher-ups his efforts.

While he was striving hard up front, thinking about how to oust Director Yang, the logistics he was responsible for had caused a huge mess.

With such a big incident, Director Yang would not end up well, and might even have to leave his position as director of the rolling mill; Deputy Director Li let out a soft sigh.

Forget about becoming the chief director, even his deputy director position might be at stake.

The angrier Deputy Director Li thought about it, the more enraged he became, "This matter must be thoroughly investigated. Whoever it encounters, it cannot be obstructed, or else, I will just resign and leave."

Director Yang had been worried; his proposal would meet all kinds of opposition from Deputy Director Li, but unexpectedly, he was fully supportive.

After all, with this incident, many departments along the logistics line were implicated, and his responsibility as the deputy director in charge of logistics would be questioned.

At the moment when the most powerful chief and deputy director joined forces to discuss how to resolve the issue, one person’s expression didn’t look very good.

Luckily, the people around were filled with righteous indignation, talking about how despicable those who undermine the foundation were, so his expression didn’t draw much attention.

This person began to consider whether he should take the opportunity to go back and inform his son.

While it was still undiscovered, to flee far away hurriedly, for once it was found out, leaving would not be easy.

"Let’s go, to the factory." Director Yang called everyone to the factory, where they also had to contact their respective backers, hoping the situation could be slightly contained, to avoid panic.

"Old Yang, I’ll go upstairs to change, to switch clothes." Calmly stating because he had hurried out and was dressed sloppily, which was not quite appropriate for going to the factory.

As soon as he said this, many people expressed the need to go back and change clothes.

It was only then that Director Yang realized that he was also not dressed appropriately, wearing a vest full of patches wasn’t that bad, but it was still embarrassing to go to the factory wearing such clothes.

So everyone went their own way to change, and one person, having returned home, changed clothes in his room and then went to his son’s room, knocking softly on the door.

"I’m going to the factory. There has been an incident in the factory today; an accountant in the finance department almost had an accident."

"Those thugs have been brought in." After delivering this message, he prepared to leave, as he had come back just to change clothes and couldn’t delay too long, or it would raise suspicions.

After he left, the door opened and a neatly dressed young man came out of the room, with luggage already packed.

Carrying the luggage, he was about to leave when he paused, thinking that once he left, other than leaving the Mainland, there would be no place for him anymore.

But it was inevitable; if he didn’t leave now, he would still have to eventually. He even considered taking his old man with him.

He knew that his father would definitely not agree. After pushing open his father’s room door again, he found a letter on the desk about his mother’s situation.

The most important thing was that there was a key along with the letter, which, after quickly glancing at the letter, he realized was something his maternal grandparents had left him before they left.

After sitting in his father’s room for a long time, using the cover of darkness, he took his luggage and left.

Looking back at the house behind him, he let out a soft sigh, and just then, a car stopped. The young man opened the car door, ready to depart.

"Do you think if I go back and take my dad with me, will he follow me?" the young man said in a low voice.

The other party was silent for a while, the young man sighed softly, "It’s a pointless question. My dad, he won’t come with us."

The young man also knew what he was leaving behind and sometimes questioned whether it was worth it to do what he did.

But recalling the past, he knew he couldn’t be soft-hearted; what he did wasn’t wrong.
