Chapter 121 His Decision
Inside the meeting room, Lin Chuyue flipped through the financial documents, her fingertips tapping the table with a soft rhythm. Her brows were furrowed, her gaze sweeping over the seemingly flawless data again and again, yet she still felt that something was amiss in certain details.
CFO Li Gang was standing opposite her, his tone cautious: "President Lin, these are the recent income and expenditure details, and the audit did not find any problems."
Lin Chuyue closed the file and looked at him sharply: "The details seem normal, but I feel that the expenditures for some items are unreasonable. Mr. Li, can you explain the specific destination of this 'external consulting fee'?"
Li Gang paused for a moment, then replied, "This is the fee paid to our partner organization; they are responsible for market analysis and strategy optimization..."
"A partner organization?" Lin Chuyue interrupted him, giving a cold laugh. "Which partner organization are you talking about?"
Li Gang was visibly taken aback, his voice slightly hesitant: "It's specifically the team that Vice President Shen Fang previously liaised with. I need to verify the details again."
“Since Shen Fang was in charge, and she’s not currently in office, you should be responsible for all the details.” Lin Chuyue leaned back in her chair, arms crossed, her tone icy. “I’m giving you one day to investigate every single flow of funds. I expect to see a detailed report by tomorrow.”
Li Gang looked hesitant, but finally nodded in agreement: "Okay, Mr. Lin, I will get it done as soon as possible."
After leaving the conference room, Lin Chuyue went straight to the security department. Wang Peng was organizing the surveillance footage when he saw Lin Chuyue appear, a hint of unease flashing in his eyes.
"Manager Wang, do you have time to chat?" Lin Chuyue's voice was calm, but carried an undeniable authority.
Wang Peng hurriedly stood up to greet him, forcing a smile: "President Lin, what can I do for you?"
Lin Chuyue looked at him and pressed him further: "Recently, many problems within the company have pointed to Shen Fang, and as her confidante, I would like to hear your opinion."
Wang Peng's expression froze for a moment, then he quickly regained his composure: "President Lin, I am only responsible for the daily management of the security department, and I am not aware of other matters."
Lin Chuyue sneered: "Is that so? Then explain why some of Shen Fang's previous consulting fees were transferred out through the security department's account?"
Wang Peng's expression changed drastically, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead: "President Lin, I... I only found out later. These things were arranged by President Shen, and I had no right to interfere."
"Do you know where these funds ultimately went?" Lin Chuyue's voice was low and cold, like an icy blade aimed directly at Wang Peng's weak spot.
Wang Peng hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and whispered, "I know some things... but President Shen told me not to say."
“Now you have two choices,” Lin Chuyue’s gaze was sharp as a knife. “First, tell me the truth; second, you and Shen Fang will bear the consequences together. I can guarantee that the latter will cost you more than you can afford.”
Wang Peng clenched his fist, a struggle flashing in his eyes, before finally saying in a low voice, "President Lin, Shen Fang did indeed ask me to transfer a sum of money using the security department's account. That money later went to a private company. She said it was for public relations, but I don't know the specific purpose."
Lin Chuyue nodded, her expression still cold and stern: "Compile the detailed information about that company and give it to me."
As evening approached, Lin Chuyue's phone rang again; it was Li Zhanchuan calling.
"How's it going?" His voice on the other end of the phone was as deep as ever, tinged with concern.
Lin Chuyue leaned back on the sofa and rubbed her temples: "It wasn't smooth sailing, but it wasn't a complete waste either. Shen Fang left behind more problems than I expected."
"Do you need my help?" Li Zhanchuan's voice was full of confidence. "Just one word from me and I can expose all those hidden problems."
Lin Chuyue smiled slightly, her tone tinged with wariness: "President Li, I know you are capable, but I hope I can handle this matter myself."
Li Zhanchuan chuckled lightly: "Still so stubborn. But no matter what, remember to take care of yourself and don't push yourself too hard."
Lin Chuyue replied softly, "Thank you for your concern, I will."
After hanging up the phone, she gazed at the deep night outside the window, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her. Li Zhanchuan's appearance had indeed surprised her, but she knew even more clearly that she had to walk her own path step by step.
Meanwhile, Gu Yanchuan was working on documents in his study. His phone screen lit up; it was a message from Luo Yurou.
"Yanchuan, are you free tomorrow? I'd like to discuss the recent project progress with you."
Gu Yanchuan replied with an "okay," then put down his phone, his thoughts drifting away. The image of Lin Chuyue appeared in his mind; her cool, clear eyes always easily stirred his emotions.
He slowly closed his eyes, secretly making up his mind: no matter what Lin Chuyue's plan is, I will stand by her side.
