Liu Mingyu Got it.
This is drawing fire from the bottom of the cauldron.
Using the company's reputation and stock price as the price, drag Zhao Chen into the quagmire.
"But by doing this, you will also..." He didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear.
Lin Wanqing was silent for a long time.
The sunshine outside the window is just right, and Shan City in May is already having the heat of early summer.
But she felt a biting cold.
"Secretary Liu, do you think I have a way out?"
she asked softly,
"After Rights Issue ends, Zhao Chen becomes the first Major Shareholder, and he will probably cleanse Board of Directors.
How many more days can I, Finance Director, be able to sit still?"
She looked at Liu Mingyu:
"The same goes for you. Zhao Chen will not keep you, your relationship with us is too close."
Liu Mingyu turned pale.
"So," Lin Wanqing continued,
"Instead of waiting to be kicked out, it is better to give them a fatal blow when they are most proud.
Even if we can't make a comeback, at least... we must let everyone know that the 700 million Zhao Chen came from something wrong."
She picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Lawyer Wang? I have some materials in hand regarding Henglong Group Acting Chairman Zhao Chen's possible fund violations...
Yes, the source of the 700 million funds is unknown. I want to report it to Securities Regulatory Commission and Stock Exchange."
After hanging up the phone, she dialed another number.
"Reporter Li, I have breaking news here..."
After making two phone calls, Lin Wanqing seemed to have exhausted all his strength and slumped down in the chair.
Liu Mingyu looked at her and suddenly asked:
"Then over there Shen Zhiyi..."
"Waiting for the investigation results of Wang Bin."
Lin Wanqing Close your eyes,
"If she is really Zhao Chen's woman... then this scandal would be even more interesting."
She imagined that scene:
Young Chairman kept a female college student and spent huge sums of money to buy shares for his confidante... The media will love such a story.
Liu Mingyu stood up silently and prepared to leave.
When he reached the door, he looked back.
Lin Wanqing was sitting alone behind a large desk. The sunlight squeezed in through the gaps in the blinds, casting alternating light and dark stripes on her face.
This woman who once made all the difference in Henglong Group is now personally lighting a fire that may destroy everything.
He didn't know who the fire would eventually burn.
But he knew that from today on, the story of Henglong would enter a new, more cruel chapter.
May 26, 2 pm Lin Wanqing's office
Wang Bin walked into the office quickly carrying a thin folder with a complicated expression.
"Mr. Lin, we've found out."
He placed the folder in front of Lin Wanqing,
"Shen Zhiyi, 20 years old, Jiangzhou Zhengfa University School of Economic Law sophomore, Jiangzhou local.
My family is a typical working-class family, with an annual income of no more than 300,000 yuan."
Lin Wanqing quickly flipped through the information, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter:
"The family background is so ordinary? Then 173.6 million Hong Kong Dollar..."
"Definitely not from her family."
Wang Bin Surely,
"I checked all the bank accounts under her parents' names, and the largest deposit was 730,000 RMB, which was the inheritance left by her grandfather after his death.
Not to mention 170 million Hong Kong Dollar, even 1.7 million Hong Kong Dollar they can't come up with."
"So the money can only come from somewhere else."
Lin Wanqing closed the folder, "What is her relationship with Zhao Chen?"
Wang Bin paused and took out a bag of information from the document bag:
"This is what I learned from school today. Shen Zhiyi and Zhao Chen... should be a couple."
"Interesting." Lin Wanqing picked up the information and read it carefully.
"Zhao Chen, a cruel and ruthless person, actually has a gentle side.
For the sake of my confidante, I spent almost Two Hundred Million Hong Kong Dollar... You are so young."
She put down the information, calculation flashed in her eyes:
"Send a copy of these information to Reporter Li. I have already thought of the title for him - 'Henglong Crown Prince spent a lot of money on beauty, a female college student became a billionaire overnight'."
Wang Bin hesitated:
"Mr. Lin, this may affect Henglong's image..."
"It doesn't matter." Lin Wanqing sneered,
"As long as it can hit Zhao Chen, any angle is fine. And this kind of sexy news spreads faster and deeper.
When the Zhao Jianguo case comes to trial, public opinion will naturally classify him and his son into the same category - morally corrupt people."
She looked at Wang Bin:
"Continue to investigate and see if we can dig out more details about Shen Zhiyi and Zhao Chen. Especially... is there anything that can be hyped."
"Understood."
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Henglong Group posted on Hong Kong Stock Exchange <Rights Issue Results Announcement>:
"Our company Board of Directors is pleased to announce that on the afternoon of May 26, 2017, the acceptance and additional applications for Rights Issue have closed.
