Chapter 1805 Sliding on Knees
Winsea Group, Chairman's Office.

Secretary Tang was chatting with Wang Yanxian when she saw Huang Lilin, covered in sweat, rushing in in a panic.

Seeing that Huang Lilin showed no intention of stopping to wait for the report, she quickly stood up and walked to the door: "President Huang, the chairman is resting!"

"Oh dear, I'm here to beg the chairman to spare my life. I'm just afraid he won't be here. Secretary Tang, please don't block my way. This is a matter of life and death."

With that, Huang Lilin walked past Secretary Tang, pushed open the door, and went inside.

In the office, Zhao Xiankun was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, resting, while opera music played on his phone.

Hearing the noise, he opened his eyes and looked over, only to see Huang Lilin, with a fawning expression, trotting over towards him.

Zhao Xiankun waved his hand, and Secretary Tang, who was standing at the door, sensibly closed the door and then went to her workstation to pick up her phone.

"Huang Lilin arrived and rushed straight into the chairman's office, bowing and scraping, almost kneeling down to the chairman."

"It's normal. Everyone kowtows to others and acts like a grandson. There's always someone higher up."

The phone displayed Wang Yan's reply. Secretary Tang smiled slightly and continued chatting happily, gossiping about how this matter would end...

In the office, Huang Lilin sat on a single sofa, craning his neck to get closer to Zhao Xiankun.

"Chairman, I was wrong! I was terribly wrong!" He didn't waste any words.

Zhao Xiankun hummed in agreement, seemingly confused: "What did you do wrong?"

“I shouldn’t have taken the company’s money, shouldn’t have disobeyed the group’s orders, and shouldn’t have withheld the profits that should have been distributed to the group. Chairman, I already told the company’s accountant before I came that they would transfer the money to the group’s account shortly. As for the money I took… Chairman, please give me some more time. I’ll gather the money and return it all to the company’s account.”

"Oh~"

Zhao Xiankun let out a long "Oh," and said, "Is that what it is? So, does that mean the six million yuan that the audit team found was real?"

"It's true, Chairman, I've embezzled the money. Over the years, I really have..."

Before Huang Lilin could continue, Zhao Xiankun waved his hand, shook his head, and laughed: "Let's not talk about that. Back then, we gave you 50 million in materials and funds. Apart from that, it was all thanks to your hard work that you built Tianke into what it is today, bit by bit. You're more capable than Wang Yang and the others, and you've also contributed a lot to the group's profits. You've made a huge contribution."

To be honest, it's not really appropriate for me to say this, but we've been brothers for a long time, and I'm telling you the truth, who hasn't embezzled money? Everyone's trying to find ways to get the money into their own account. Are you, Huang Lilin, the only one like this? I don't believe that Wang Yang and the others are all honest and clean. Take myself for example, I've had a lot of things reimbursed by the group, which is understandable.

No one is perfect; everyone makes mistakes. The greatest virtue is to acknowledge and correct them. Li Lin, you can't go too far. Everything has its limits. Don't you agree?

"Yes, yes, Chairman, I know I'm right and I can correct my mistakes. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. You are a truly kind person."

Zhao Xiankun said solemnly, "Li Lin, the group is in a very bad situation right now. We are short of funds and our listing is being hindered. If I hadn't gone out and found some more funds, the group would be going bankrupt and liquidating by now."

"If the group wants to grow, and you old brothers want to make more money, then you need to work together to help the group go public. Everyone will benefit then, earning much more than you are now. Li Lin, what do you think about this?"

Huang Lilin chuckled foolishly: "Chairman, don't you know me? How could I possibly understand these things? In short, whatever you say, I'll do it, just like before. I believe tomorrow will definitely be better."

Zhao Xiankun nodded in satisfaction, then stopped talking about these things and started chatting with Huang Lilin. Huang Lilin was very sensible and talked about the past, thanking Zhao Xiankun for leading him to where he is today.

After this process, Huang Lilin finally left.

Secretary Tang came in to refill Zhao Xiankun's water, and Zhao Xiankun laughed and said, "I really didn't expect Wang Yan to be so capable. Little Tang, you have a good eye."

"The chairman is the one with vision. He's willing to give him a chance and let him join the audit team so that he can find out the problems. Otherwise, he wouldn't be here, just lazing around in the finance department."

Zhao Xiankun laughed heartily; he was truly overjoyed.

He never expected that, based on the principle of trusting those he employs, letting Xu Feng make the decision and agreeing to transfer Wang Yan from the group's finance department to participate in the audit would cause such a terrifying and devastating impact, like a nuclear bomb.

Just by looking at Huang Lilin's reaction, you could tell that Wang Yan was terrified. Otherwise, given Huang Lilin's cunning, he certainly wouldn't have rushed over to apologize and beg for forgiveness, or directly offered to pay compensation.

"What do you think I should do with him?"

Secretary Tang didn't respond. What could she say? She had no right to speak. Perhaps she could praise Zhao Xiankun a little more, but Zhao Xiankun looked thoughtful at the moment, clearly not really asking her a question.

Just as Secretary Tang was about to leave, Zhao Xiankun snapped out of his daze and said, "Little Tang, have Xu Feng and Wang Yan come to see me tomorrow morning."

"Yes, Chairman, then let's arrange it for... nine o'clock, after the meeting?"

"Okay, go ahead."

……

In the evening, Xu Feng and the others returned to Tianke, starving.

They were stunned as soon as they opened the door, before they even entered the office.

Inside the office, everything on the desk had been cleared to one side, and a large pile of lunch boxes was placed on it, some even stacked up.

Wang Yan, the slightly overweight middle-aged man who stayed behind, and Huang Lilin and his nephew Xia Ming, ate and chatted happily together.

The aroma of the food wafted over, making Xu Feng and the others' stomachs rumble.

"Hey, Team Leader Xu is back." Huang Lilin moved with surprising agility for a man in his fifties, standing up in a flash. "You guys haven't eaten yet, have you? Come on, come on, I've bought all your food."

"Thank you, Mr. Huang." Xu Feng nodded and, without standing on ceremony, began to eat.

Everyone tacitly avoided discussing the audit, and Xu Feng didn't mention checking the business results.

Xia Ming was also a bit dejected at this point. It was Huang Lilin who was discussing ways to make money through stock trading with Wang Yan. Huang Lilin also told some stories about the early days of starting a business with Zhao Xiankun.

Even though others didn't say much, the two of them chatted quite lively until the meal was over. Huang Lilin and Xia Ming left, and the audit team members also packed up their things to go home.

"You two have it so easy, having big meals for lunch and dinner. If we had known it would be like this, we wouldn't have gone out," someone couldn't help but complain.

"It's not like we'll be missing out on one more day. Judging from the looks of it, the chairman is going to let things slide. Anyway, we've already done our part, so let him do whatever he wants. Wang Yan, we owe it all to you. You're really awesome."

They were completely convinced by Wang Yan's words and were quite relaxed about it.

Originally, Tianke was prepared to fight back desperately against the obstruction and carry out their arduous work, but in just one day, Wang Yan managed to turn the work into a mere formality.

The reason they returned late was because the news was delayed; everyone had forgotten about them, and they spent a long time arguing with business associates outside.

However, there were no complaints. Although it was all for nothing, the result was good, and everyone benefited. Otherwise, there would probably have been a lot of grumbling...

Wang Yan calmly packed his things: "I just got lucky. Don't brag about it to me later. If you praise me so much, and then I turn out to be useless, wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing? It's not just embarrassing, it might even cost me my job."

"It's not as serious as you make it out to be. The funds recovered for the group from this audit alone could pay all of us salaries for several lifetimes. We know you're being modest, so don't worry, we definitely won't say a word." Everyone chatted and laughed, packed up their things, and left work. Only Wang Yan and Xu Feng remained, smoking and strolling in the cold wind.

"I still feel a bit unreal, like a dream." Xu Feng exhaled a puff of smoke, his voice filled with bewilderment. "It's not what I expected either."

“The beginning was the same, but I was lucky with the rest,” Wang Yan chimed in from the side.

"Don't be modest with me. You'll definitely find more problems later, otherwise Huang Lilin wouldn't have been so eager to please you for just over six million!"

"Pretty much. You could say his life is in my hands." Seeing Xu Feng looking over with interest, Wang Yan waved his hand, "Don't even think about it. Knowing too much won't do you any good."

"It's nothing more than Huang Lilin and Xia Ming poaching employees from the company and the group, and the amount they embezzled was quite large. I can imagine it. It's just a pity that they didn't take down Tianke."

"You've got it all wrong. The chairman never even considered starting Tianke. Don't you realize that the chairman and Huang Lilin are old brothers who started the business together..."

Wang Yan explained to Xu Feng why Zhao Xiankun hadn't completely destroyed Huang Lilin, saying, "You're too impatient. As soon as you heard there was a problem, you wanted to tear open a huge hole and try to destroy him. But ultimately, this company isn't ours. You're the chairman's assistant, not the chairman."

As Da Ming 1566 said, we must be prepared for change, for danger, and for retreat. You need to suppress your eagerness for quick success and instant benefits, otherwise your actions will easily become distorted, and that would be terrible.

"Thank you, Wang Yan. I've taken your advice to heart and will definitely be more careful in the future. If you find any more problems with me, please speak up."

"Honest advice is hard to hear, and I'm afraid if I say too much, you might not want to listen to it anymore."

"How could that be? You're much more capable than me, and you're so stable and peaceful. What right do I have to be so arrogant? I've always known that luck plays a significant role in successful people, including the chairman and others."

Xu Feng said, "The chairman wants to see us tomorrow, probably just to make us go through the motions, right?"

“I think so too. The internal audit has caused such a big commotion, it certainly can’t be over in a day, but we can’t keep investigating too hard either. He’s afraid that the two of us greenhorns will mess things up, so he called us over to give us a detailed talk.”

"Now that you mention it, it seems the chairman has it pretty tough."

"That's how it is when you're in a leadership position. You may look powerful, but you can't do whatever you want."

The two chatted for a few minutes before parting ways and taking taxis home.

Since the audit meeting was held at the company headquarters today, all the cars were parked there. It's convenient since I'm going to the headquarters tomorrow to pick up my car; I won't have to go through the transfer gate and make another trip back.

The next day, after his usual breakfast, Wang Yan took a shared bicycle and leisurely made his way to the company through the bustling streets.

Since he no longer needs to clock in for work, and his appointment with Zhao Xiankun was at around 9 a.m., he had plenty of time, so taking a look at the morning traffic jam was a unique experience.

Upon arriving at the company headquarters, they didn't linger. Amidst the chatter of the people, they went directly to the chairman's office, where they found Secretary Tang diligently working outside.

Wang Yan whispered over: "I finally see you working seriously."

The sudden voice startled Secretary Tang, who playfully punched him with her little fist, saying, "Don't you know you can scare people to death? You're so annoying!"

"I only know that if you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear."

Secretary Tang gave her a playful glare, then said, "I guess the chairman is going to reward you."

"How should we reward them?"

"It'll be a promotion and a raise, I don't know the specifics. But one thing is for sure, you'll be valued by the chairman from now on, and it won't be possible to slack off like before."

Wang Yan said with a smile, "Isn't it true that the higher the position, the easier it is? All the work is delegated to the lower levels."

"You're always arguing," Secretary Tang snorted, then asked, "Are you free this Saturday?"

"What, you finally can't hide your feelings anymore and have decided to launch an offensive against me?"

"Narcissist, go to hell." Secretary Tang's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Wang Yan laughed heartily: "You don't know yet, after this experience, auditing will be much easier. We won't have to work overtime anymore. I'll have time anytime, even during work hours."

"It's a pity, going to Tianke isn't really suitable for you, otherwise you could have enjoyed yourself there too."

Secretary Tang knew that Wang Yan was living a life of luxury at Tianke because Wang Yan had shared everything with him.

"Look, this is breakfast."

As they were talking, Wang Yan took out his phone, and the audit team members posted photos of their breakfast in the work group chat.

"How extravagant! What a pity, we missed out on a good meal. What a loss!"

"What, you want the chairman to make it up to you?" Secretary Tang said, somewhat annoyed.

I already told her I was dieting and losing weight, and he still showed her these things. Wang Yan is just trying to tempt her.

"What do you want me to supplement?" Zhao Xiankun walked over with a smile, not minding that Wang Yan and Secretary Tang were flirting.

"It's nothing, Chairman, I was just joking," Secretary Tang explained, standing up.

"What kind of joke is that? Tell me, don't treat me like an outsider." Zhao Xiankun said kindly.

So Wang Yan simply showed Zhao Xiankun the picture of breakfast and repeated the words that he had lost out.

Zhao Xiankun laughed heartily: "Make up for it, make up for it. How could I not make up for a meal? I'll transfer some money to Xiao Tang later, and you two can go out for a nice meal together. Young man, work isn't everything."

"Thank you, Chairman. I'd like to go to the Shanghai Hotel."

Zhao Xiankun paused for a moment, then pointed vaguely: "You've actually picked one."

"It's just a matter of saying a few words. What if it works out? Right, Chairman?"

"Well, you know what, it actually worked."

After a few jokes, Zhao Xiankun asked, "Xu Feng hasn't arrived yet?"

Secretary Tang replied, "I arrived a long time ago and am waiting in his office."

"Tell him to come in."

Zhao Xiankun turned and went into his office. Wang Yan raised an eyebrow at Secretary Tang, and under Secretary Tang's coquettish reproach, he also went into his office...
