On the evening of the second day after dinner at Luo Min's house, Chen Baosheng took Zhao Xiner to Shantou.
The two of them went to Shantou in secret.
The reason is that Chen Baosheng also knew before that Song Shiwen fabricated the difficulty of construction, which increased the company's expenses and reduced the company's profits. However, Chen Baosheng didn't know exactly where he had tampered with it, and neither did Zhao Xiner.
As a smart woman, especially when she was in charge of financial work, Zhao Xiner gradually discovered that finance was somewhat different from before at work. The overall company's gross profit margin was declining rapidly and expenses were increasing.
This made her very confused and she had more and more questions in her mind. But as the youngest executive in the company, she was basically speechless, and seasoned veterans like Song Shiwen didn't take her seriously at all.
Therefore, she could only hide these confusions in her heart, and the most she could do was talk to Chen Baosheng.
When eating in the restaurant downstairs at noon that day, Zhao Xiner saw Chen Baosheng sitting alone in the corner eating a box, so she sat next to him with a lunch box, and then while eating, she whispered to him: "Boss, I Want to tell you something?"
Chen Baosheng raised his head and saw the sexy Zhao Xiner in front of him and said, "What's the matter?"
Zhao Xiner's eyes flickered and she looked towards Xizhou. Seeing that it was an unfamiliar colleague, she lowered her voice and said, "This morning, Mr. Xu deducted 800,000 yuan from the company's account, saying it was the advance capital needed for the Shantou project. I looked through the company's statements for the past few months today. I have never advanced such a large amount of money for the same small factory project in the past. For a project of more than one million yuan, I have advanced more than 800,000 yuan. This is definitely not the case. Is it reasonable?”
How could Chen Baosheng know about these problems discovered by Zhao Xiner? However, the last time he asked about the cost of materials at a meeting, Song Shiwen got angry. Instead of exposing him, he pinched his neck, making him angry out of thin air. Because, what are the potential problems? As a construction layman, he really doesn’t know?
However, at the dinner table, Chen Baosheng did not answer Zhao Xiner's words, but just said to her: "Xin'er, you don't have to worry about these things. As long as the procedures are complete, how should I pay or how should I pay? After all, we are doing business now. Advance capital is also normal, as long as there is profit, we don’t have to worry so much, right?”
Seeing what Chen Baosheng said, Zhao Xiner was at a loss and immediately nodded blankly: "Okay, I'll pay!"
As the head of the financial department, although she is a shareholder representative, Chen Baosheng, as the general manager, agreed, and it was difficult for her to raise objections.
But just when he was about to get off work that day, Chen Baosheng suddenly called Zhao Xiner and told her on the phone: "Come to the underground garage, and the two of us will go to Shantou!"
Zhao Xiner asked him: "What are we going to do there?"
Chen Baosheng said: "Don't say anything, just go downstairs! You will know when you get there. We will wait for you in the garage downstairs."
After Zhao Xiner arrived at the garage, she learned that Chen Baosheng had been very touched after having dinner with her at noon.
In the afternoon, he contacted a colleague who had resigned before and a driver, and planned to visit the project in Shantou. This colleague's name is Du Jun. He used to be Song Shiwen's subordinate and he also knows a lot about project cost and project construction management.
During this trip, Chen Baosheng took her to a project in Shantou. This project was very suspicious. The budget was about 1.2 million yuan. It was not a big project, but the materials and construction costs were more than 800,000 yuan.
For this project, if the cost is removed and taxes and labor expenses are added, it is already very good to earn tens of thousands of yuan.
This is extremely abnormal for an enterprise, because there are many hidden costs in the business process. If you only have this little profit, you cannot maintain your business operations.
What's more important is that the specific person in charge of the construction of this project, Lao Deng, is named Chen Mingcai. He has a good relationship with Chen Baosheng. Both of them come from the same place and can be considered fellow villagers. Chen Baosheng had a close friendship with his boss when he was still his driver.
Chen Baosheng now wants to open a door from Lao Deng, understand the actual situation of this project, and use this as a breakthrough to clean up the bad practices of Song Shiwen and others.
And with Du Jun on this trip, he could also check the usage of some materials on site and calculate the cost of construction materials.
The Westerners traveled all the way at a galloping speed and arrived in Shantou in less than two hours.
As the person in charge of the project, Lao Deng was playing mahjong with the factory's executives in the factory's dormitory.
Chen Baocheng called him, and he got down from the mahjong table, then stared at them with his mouth wide open and said, "Mr. Chen, are you here?"
Chen Baosheng nodded and said: "We are just here to take a look at the project. Come on, take us around the project first."
Lao Deng was stunned for a moment, then picked up the banknotes from the mahjong table, asked another person to keep an eye on his position, and then led everyone into the factory construction site to check.
The so-called layman sees the excitement, while the expert sees the door!
Chen Baosheng hoped that Du Jun, an expert, could see the clues and judge the actual price from this material.
After walking around for a while, Chen Baosheng felt that it was almost done, so he said to Lao Deng: "Old Deng, why don't you make arrangements for us to come this far?"
Only then did Lao Deng remember that he was busy working and hadn't asked Chen Baosheng and others if they had eaten yet.
He apologized hurriedly: "Yeah, why did I forget? I'll make arrangements now."
Later, Lao Deng made a phone call and arranged for everyone to stay in a small restaurant.
After ordering and waiting for the food to be served, Chen Baosheng pulled Lao Deng out, then stood in the aisle and stared at him seriously and said: "Lao Deng, I believe you know the purpose of our trip, right?"
Lao Deng scratched his head and said with a smile: "Are you here to check my account?"
Chen Baosheng frowned and said: "Why do you think so? We are here to check the accounts, but we are not targeting you. You are just a small ant in the project. Even if you can get some kickbacks, how much can you get? What's important is that we We still need to thoroughly grasp the actual situation of the current project and know where the money is used? Who gets it?"
Lao Deng naturally understood what Chen Baosheng said.
A slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said in a low voice: "If this is the case, Baosheng, I advise you not to know! You are also working now. If you know, I'm afraid it won't be good for you."
