Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 406 Internal Fraud

Li Yunqing came up, and Lu Shaohua also explained that the future documents should be handed over to Lu Xiaoxian for processing. Li Yunqing naturally had no objection to this. After all, Lu Xiaoxian was Lu Shaohua's biological sister. To put it bluntly, the entire Phoenix Group could be said to belong to Lu Xiaoxian. What else could he, Li Yunqing, say?

Lu Xiaoxian had been in Phoenix Group for so long, so of course she knew Li Yunqing's identity. Seeing that Li Yunqing promised to help her more, Lu Xiaoxian felt much more relieved. At the same time, she also knew that her work was over. After saying goodbye, she left Lu Shaohua's office and returned to her post.

Lu Xiaoxian left, but Li Yunqing stayed. He knew that Lu Shaohua might have something to say, but he did not open his mouth. Instead, he waited, waiting for Lu Shaohua to speak.

Lu Shaohua didn't let him wait for long. He hesitated for a moment and then spoke. "Mingzhang is on vacation. All the company's affairs are on your shoulders. You have to handle it."

"Haha!" Li Yunqing laughed, but it was a bitter laugh. "It's true, taking over two teams is really stressful."

Li Yunqing was originally only responsible for the open team of Phoenix Financial, but now he has to take charge of Liu Mingzhang's semi-open and semi-hidden team as well. More importantly, the amount of funds in each project of Liu Mingzhang's team is very large, forcing Li Yunqing to concentrate all his energy there, for fear of making mistakes that would result in the loss of investment.

Lu Shaohua understood this. After all, the company had a lot of things to do, and it was not easy to divert attention to take over another team. In addition, Liu Mingzhang had been in charge of that team, and he had to slowly learn all the data processes, which made it even more troublesome.

"Just take care of it." Lu Shaohua said with a smile, then changed the subject and said, "The finance department is now in your hands. If the sales subsidiaries want money, just give it to them directly."

Liu Mingzhang was on vacation, and the financial power was handed over to Li Yunqing. Lu Shaohua was going to vigorously develop this area, so naturally he had to give some instructions.

"That's no problem." Li Yunqing also managed the finances of Phoenix Group. Oh! To be more precise, he did not manage the finances, but was acting as a temporary agent for a short period of time, because Liu Mingzhang sometimes had to go out to "perform missions", so Li Yunqing had to take over the management.

So, Li Yunqing is experienced in handling financial issues, and there is no problem at all. It is just a matter of signing the contract, which is not challenging at all. Of course, the approval documents still need to be carefully reviewed, and he will only sign if he thinks it is reasonable.

However, when it comes to the sales company, Li Yunqing did have something to say, but he was not sure about it, so he frowned, hesitating, not knowing whether he should say it.

Li Yunqing's expression was all over his face. Lu Shaohua, who had been paying attention to him, naturally noticed it, smiled, and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Well, there is one thing." Li Yunqing saw that Lu Shaohua had asked, and he made up his mind. He no longer hesitated and said in an uncertain tone. "Recently, I heard a piece of news that a vice president of the sales subsidiary was delivering orders to the car dealership and secretly received kickbacks from the car dealership."

Phoenix Automobile adopts the agency model, and there are many car dealerships that represent Phoenix Automobile. However, as Phoenix Automobile has recently entered the European and American markets, the production capacity at the base is limited, and the supply has become scarce. The goods have to be supplied to car dealerships in a distributed manner, and the sales are so good that the car dealership owners have no choice but to find Phoenix sales staff to fight for a larger share.

In addition to General Manager Xu Jiarui, Phoenix Sales has three deputy general managers. Each of these three general managers is in charge of a market. The one Li Yunqing was referring to should be the deputy general manager in charge of the Hong Kong market.

"Is it the deputy general manager named Du?" Lu Shaohua asked.

"Yes, that's him." Li Yunqing confirmed, and then explained directly. "I have a friend who owns a car dealership. He happens to be the agent of our Phoenix Group's cars. He placed an order but only received a small amount of goods. So the owner of the car dealership asked my friend to help inquire whether the car quota was allocated. At the same time, he also told me that the deputy manager surnamed Du asked for kickbacks from the owner of the car dealership."

Li Yunqing explained the whole story clearly, but he didn't dare to say it so confidently. After all, it was just word of mouth and there was no actual evidence. That's why Li Yunqing hesitated whether to talk about it just now.

"There's no wind without waves." Lu Shaohua said lightly. If there was no such thing, he believed that no one outside would talk about it. But now someone actually talked about it. Lu Shaohua would definitely not pretend that he didn't know about it, because it was related to the reputation of Phoenix Group. Lu Shaohua couldn't pretend that nothing happened.

"Wait a moment, I'll ask Mr. Qin to come up." Lu Shaohua said to Li Yunqing, then picked up the phone and called Qin Sichen.

Qin Sichen didn't dare to neglect the boss's call. At the same time, he was also feeling puzzled. He thought that Lu Shaohua had just called him. If there was something, he should have said it on the phone. But he didn't say it just now. Now he called him again and asked him to go to his office. It seemed a bit unreasonable.

However, Qin Sichen was just wondering in his heart and did not delay. He put down the work at hand and went directly to Lu Shaohua's office.

"Mr. Lu, you're looking for me!" Qin Sichen said anxiously after entering the room, as if she had something else to do, hinting that Lu Shaohua should speak up quickly.

"No hurry, sit down first and we'll talk slowly." At this time, Lu Shaohua didn't care whether Qin Sichen had important things to deal with. Even if she had important things to deal with, Lu Shaohua would let her put it aside, because matters related to the reputation of Phoenix Group were more important than anything else.

At this moment, if Qin Sichen still cannot see the change in atmosphere clearly, then he will not be Qin Sichen anymore, and he will not be able to sit on the throne of the executive president of Phoenix Group.

After Qin Sichen sat down on the chair, Lu Shaohua spoke again, but this time he didn't speak to Qin Sichen, but to Li Yunqing. "Yunqing, tell Mr. Qin what happened just now again."

Li Yunqing did not hesitate. He looked at Qin Sichen and repeated what he had just said to Lu Shaohua, but this time he added one more sentence. "I just heard it. I have no actual evidence."

"It doesn't matter. I won't wrongly accuse a good person, and I won't let go of anyone who destroys the reputation of our Phoenix Group." Lu Shaohua had already expressed his position, but he still looked at Qin Sichen and asked. "Boss Qin, what do you think about this matter?"

"Investigate." Qin Si Chen only said one word. Are you kidding? The boss has expressed his intention to investigate. How could she, Qin Si Chen, dare to object? Moreover, even if Lu Shaohua did not express his intention to investigate, as the executive president of Phoenix Group, she would investigate the matter thoroughly.

"Well, it's settled." Lu Shaohua smiled faintly, then changed the subject and said, "Yunqing, contact your friend to confirm whether this news is true. Oh! Contact him now."

"Okay." Li Yunqing responded.

"Well, Mr. Qin, you should have the contact number of our car dealership in Hong Kong. You can pretend to be a Phoenix salesperson and call back to inquire if this is true." Lu Shaohua was 100% sure that if the deputy general manager surnamed Du took kickbacks, he definitely took them in the name of the company. If he made a follow-up call to inquire, he would be able to quickly confirm whether this was true.

"Okay." After saying that, Qin Sichen felt uneasy again and said, "I'll go make a phone call now, and I'll come up and report to you after I get the result."

"Go ahead." Lu Shaohua waved his hand and signaled Qin Sichen to do it.

Qin Sichen left, but Li Yunqing did not leave. Instead, he called his friend in front of Lu Shaohua to ask if what his friend said was true. The answer came out quickly, it was true, and after hanging up the phone, Li Yunqing gave Lu Shaohua an affirmative look.

"Scum." Lu Shaohua was very angry and on the verge of going berserk. The company's rules and regulations were there, but there were people defying the rules and committing crimes, which made Lu Shaohua extremely angry. More importantly, if this matter was not handled properly, the reputation he had worked so hard to build would suffer a ruthless blow.

The more he thought about it, the angrier Lu Shaohua became. With a 'bang', he slammed the desk with his big hand to vent his anger. His cold face told people that he was very angry at the moment.

Li Yunqing also knew that Young Master Lu was in a bad mood at the moment, so he didn't say anything and just sat there quietly.

After venting his anger, Lu Shaohua quickly calmed down. He understood that it was useless to be angry at this moment. The most important thing was to think about how to solve this matter. However, so far, he only found out that one car dealership accepted kickbacks. As for whether there were any other cases that had not been confirmed, he would have to wait for Qin Sichen to come up.

Half an hour, a full half an hour passed. Half an hour later, Qin Sichen appeared in Lu Shaohua's office again. The difference from before was that Qin Sichen had a cold face when she came in, which showed that she was also very angry at this time.

"What's the result?" Lu Shaohua asked.

"It's confirmed. In addition to our own car dealership in Hong Kong, we have 13 other agents, and all of them have paid kickbacks." Qin Sichen stated the result directly.

This was definitely the only humiliation that Phoenix Group had experienced since its founding. It was also the biggest internal corruption case, which really made Lu Shaohua very angry.

"Boss Qin, call and ask if the deputy general manager is in the office now. If he is, ask him to wait there. If not, ask him to go back to the office as soon as possible." Lu Shaohua made up his mind and gave the order directly.

Qin Sichen also knew that the situation was urgent and could not care less. He picked up the phone on Lu Shaohua's desk and called him. After saying a few words, he hung up the phone and said to Lu Shaohua, "He is in the office now."

"Okay, make another call to the security department and ask them to send two people over to control him." Lu Shaohua gave another order.

Qin Sichen did as he was told and made the call quickly.

After Qin Sichen finished the call, Lu Shaohua did not stop. He picked up the phone and dialed a number. As for who he was calling, only Lu Shaohua himself knew.
