After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Lin Kangtai's words directly highlighted the status of Xu Bo'an and himself, implying that Xu Bo'an's words were like an imperial decree to him, Lin Kangtai.

With Xu Boan's current strength, he doesn't take such a small pharmaceutical factory seriously at all. Let alone such a pharmaceutical factory, he wouldn't care even if he was given a gold mine.

After all, he doesn't have much need for money at the moment.

But he had to admit that he was very happy that someone was so loyal to him.

To put it bluntly, the reason why everyone wants to become rich, in addition to realizing their self-worth, is it not all for the enjoyment of the feeling of being looked up to by others?

There were so many smart emperors in ancient times. Didn’t they know the strength of some fawning ministers or eunuchs?
They know it, they know it better than anyone else, but they can provide emotional value.

Therefore, existence is reasonable, so these people can still have successful careers and become the emperor's favorites.

Xu Boan is of course no exception.

Just as Xu Boan was about to speak again, there was a knock on Lin Kangtai's office door.

After Lin Kangtai said "come in", an employee ran in with a panicked look on his face.

Seeing this man's look, Lin Kangtai frowned slightly. Before he could say anything, he heard the man hurried over and said to Lin Kangtai, "Oh no, Mr. Lin, someone said that Director Liu from the Quality Supervision Department took advantage of his position to sell our hangover solution without authorization and made a profit from it!"

The hangover detoxifying liquid is now the lifeline of the pharmaceutical factory, so Lin Kangtai regards the hangover detoxifying liquid as more important than his own life.

Now that he heard that someone dared to sell it secretly and make a profit behind his back, Lin Kangtai was naturally very angry.

However, having been engaged in business for many years, Lin Kangtai naturally has the calmness to deal with things when encountering problems. He knows that the bigger the matter, the calmer one must keep his mind, otherwise he will not be able to think about the problem correctly.

Lin Kangtai did not rush to talk, but looked at Xu Boan first with a look asking for instructions.

Xu Bo'an waved his hand calmly and said, "You go ahead and do your thing. I'll sit here and drink some tea and listen together."

Seeing the staff member in such a hurry, Lin Kangtai frowned, then raised his hand gently, signaling the staff member to calm down, and said to the staff member with unquestionable majesty in his tone: "Don't be anxious, tell me clearly, which Director Liu is it? What exactly is going on?"

The employee panted and said, "It's the newly appointed Director Liu Quan of the Quality Supervision Department. Some people say that they saw him in contact with some unidentified people recently and frequently going in and out of the warehouse. Now the inventory of hangover liquid does not match the actual inventory. He is the only one who has the key to the warehouse. Everyone says that he sold the hangover liquid privately and made a profit from it."

Lin Kangtai was shocked to hear that the person who was secretly reselling the hangover liquid was Liu Quan, the newly appointed director of the Quality Inspection Department.

Who is Liu Quan? He was introduced by Xu Bo'an himself, and judging from Xu Bo'an's attitude towards Liu Quan, he was quite trusting. In ancient times, he would have been an imperial envoy. How could he do such a thing?

Thinking of this, Lin Kangtai looked at the staff member solemnly and said, "Do you have any real evidence for this matter? Besides, who asked you to come here and report directly to me!"

The person who reported this to Lin Kangtai was a junior employee of the company. He had worked in the pharmaceutical factory for many years. Lin Kangtai had met him before and knew that he was from his company, but shouldn't this matter be reported to the next level? Shouldn't the person who is qualified to report to Lin Kangtai be at least a senior executive of the company? Why would he let a junior employee report to him today?

It’s not that Lin Kangtai looks down on junior employees, but because any company, in order to pay attention to work efficiency, has a strict hierarchical relationship. If anyone can report to the big boss, many important matters will definitely not be effectively reported to the boss due to the limitations of personal abilities, thus wasting each other’s time.

Therefore, in Lin Kangtai's pharmaceutical factory, it has always been the middle-level leaders and senior executives who report major work matters to themselves. For ordinary work tasks, leaders at each level have their own autonomy and do not need to report every detail.

So the person who reported to me today was actually a grassroots employee. This was simply skipping the level of reporting. Most people wouldn't do this. Lin Kangtai was still a little unhappy, so he asked that question.

The staff member said with a somewhat uncertain look in his eyes, "There is... there is evidence. Director Liu and Deputy Director Li from the Quality Supervision Department asked me to come up and report to you. They said that the hangover liquid is a vital item for our factory. The two directors are confronting... er... checking the matter. They said that this matter is very serious and they must keep an eye on it, so they asked me to come up and report to you!"

When Lin Kangtai heard this, he glanced sideways at Xu Boan, hoping to see some changes in Xu Boan's expression, or to get some instructions from Xu Boan, but he was disappointed.

When Xu Bo'an heard the employee's report, he had a blank expression on his face and showed no intention of expressing his opinion.

He believed in Liu Quan because Liu Quan had worked with him as the office director at Dongjiang Erjian for such a long time and there were no negative rumors about him.

You have to know that the office director already holds a very high position in Dongjiang Erjian. If Liu Quan wanted to profit from it, there would have been plenty of opportunities under the conditions at the time. However, Liu Quan did not do so. He just did his job conscientiously and did not think about these evil things at all. Xu Boan was very clear about this.

It can be said that Liu Quan's work ability and character are highly recognized by Xu Boan. Otherwise, Xu Boan would not agree to let Liu Quan work with him, and would not be able to hand over the key to the sobering liquid warehouse to Liu Quan with confidence.

Seeing that Xu Boan didn't give any instructions, Lin Kangtai felt a little embarrassed.

Liu Quan was the person Xu Boan brought here specifically, and the hangover product was also provided by Xu Boan. Regardless of whether Liu Quan was reselling the hangover liquid or not, Lin Kangtai felt that this matter should be handled by Xu Boan personally.

Lin Kangtai gritted his teeth and asked Xu Bo'an directly: "Mr. Xu, what do you think... how should we... deal with this matter?" Xu Bo'an didn't believe a word of Liu Quan's reselling of sobering liquid, but since this matter had reached his ears, Xu Bo'an wanted to see who was so bold as to put the blame on Liu Quan, or was it possible that Liu Quan encountered some difficulties? Was he forced to do this? Anyway, no matter what the reason was, Xu Bo'an was a person who was extremely protective of his shortcomings, and he wanted to see what the situation was.
Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an said calmly to Lin Kangtai, "You are the manager of the pharmaceutical factory, so of course you should handle this matter impartially. But I happen to be here today, so let's go down and take a look together!"

Although Xu Boan spoke in a relaxed manner, Lin Kangtai knew that Liu Quan was Xu Boan's man. If Xu Boan did not go down with him to deal with the matter, and if he did not handle it properly, he would be the one to suffer.

Hearing that Xu Boan was going to go down with him to deal with it, Lin Kangtai relaxed his nervousness a little. This way, even if there was something wrong with the handling of the matter, he would not be blamed entirely on himself.

Lin Kangtai immediately said with joy: "Okay, Mr. Xu!"

After that, he said to the staff: "If that's the case, then take us to see what's going on?"

After saying that, the three of them left Lin Kangtai's office together and walked towards the warehouse where the sobering liquid was stored.

After a while, the few of them arrived at the warehouse. At this moment, Li Chengyang, the deputy director of the quality inspection department in the warehouse, and Liu Quan were looking at several staff members with stern brows as they checked the hangover liquid in the warehouse. The tense attitude of the two made the atmosphere on the scene a little cold. The several employees who were working spoke in a whisper, for fear of making one of the two leaders unhappy and causing trouble for themselves. This was probably what people were worried about, that the fight between the gods would bring disaster to the mortals.

Seeing Lin Kangtai coming, Li Chengyang said with a flattering expression on his face: "Boss Lin, you are here?"

Li Chengyang was previously the deputy director of the Quality Inspection Department of Dongjiang Pharmaceutical Company. He had been waiting for an opportunity to be promoted to the position. However, he did not expect that when he finally had the chance, someone else would take it first. He was very angry and always felt that Liu Quan had taken his advantage, so he had always been against Liu Quan.

Of course he knew that the shares in the pharmaceutical factory had changed, and he also knew that Lin Kangtai now only owned 10% of the shares in the pharmaceutical factory, and the other 90% of the shares were given to others.

But at the same time, he also knew that the major shareholder who held 90% of the shares had handed over the management rights to Lin Kangtai, so in practical terms, as long as he had absolute reasons to overthrow Liu Quan, he still had hope of being promoted to the position.

The reason why Li Chengyang didn't say hello to Xu Boan was because he didn't know that Xu Boan was the major shareholder who owned 90% of the shares of the pharmaceutical factory. If he knew, wouldn't he rush to curry favor with him?
When Lin Kangtai heard what Li Chengyang said, his expression was very dignified and he said, "Xiao Gao just said that our inventory of hangover solution doesn't match? What's going on?"

Li Chengyang said, "Oh, Mr. Lin, this is the case. The person in charge of registering the amount of hangover liquid in the warehouse told me that our newly appointed Director Liu was secretly reselling the hangover liquid. I think this is a serious matter and it is related to the future development of our factory. That's why I came down to check with Director Liu. I also thought that I couldn't wrongly accuse Director Liu."

Liu Quan, who was standing nearby, heard what Li Chengyang said and said angrily, "Vice President Li, I just told you that I didn't sell the hangover liquid privately. Every time I needed hangover materials, I would ask Xiao Gao, who is in charge of registration, to record them. We are still taking inventory. Isn't it inappropriate for you to say this directly?"

Li Chengyang smiled faintly and said to Liu Quan, "Director Liu, I didn't say that. It was our person in charge of registration who found that the amount of sobering liquid didn't match the actual registered amount, so he told me. If Xiao Gao hadn't told me, how would I know about this? Xiao Gao, is that right?"

As the hangover liquid is the most important thing in the entire company right now, the key to the warehouse is kept by Liu Quan.

This was the candidate designated by Lin Kangtai himself. To put it bluntly, he was showing Xu Bo'an his importance to Liu Quan and his loyalty to Xu Bo'an.

What I mean is that although you, Mr. Xu, have expressed your intention to be a hands-off boss, I have handed over the company's most important core products to your confidants. This way it will be more convenient for you to understand the company's affairs, and it shows that I have a clear conscience as a professional manager.

However, Liu Quan is the director of the quality inspection department of the pharmaceutical factory. He has a lot of work to do and has no time to take charge of warehouse registration. In other words, he is only in charge of this business, but it is impossible for him, as a leader, to do the basic chores personally.

So after Liu Quan briefly inspected the warehouse, he handed over the task of managing the in and out storage of the sobering liquid and registering the information to the previous warehouse manager Xiao Gao, who was the person who had just reported the matter to Lin Kangtai.

When Xiao Gao, the warehouse manager, saw the look Li Chengyang was giving him, he quickly said, "Yes, Mr. Lin, I was able to verify the number of the hangover liquid before, but I couldn't verify it in the past few days. I found that the actual number of hangover liquid was five bottles less than the registered number, so I reported it to Deputy Director Li!"

Five bottles of hangover liquid may not seem like much, but this stuff is very expensive. According to Kangtai Pharmaceutical's regulations, such a value already involves the punishment of expulsion. The next step is to directly hand over to the relevant department.

Lin Kangtai's face froze when he heard this, and he said in a cold voice: "What did you say? Director Liu Quan is in charge of the sobering liquid warehouse, and he is also fully responsible for it. Why didn't you report to Director Liu Quan when you found the discrepancy, but reported to Deputy Director Li instead? How do you do things?"

When Xiao Gao, the warehouse manager, heard what Lin Kangtai said, he looked torn and said tremblingly, "Boss Lin, this... I am following the company's rules and regulations and reporting to the next level normally."

Li Chengyang took over the conversation and said, "Yes, Mr. Lin, thanks to the rules and regulations you formulated earlier, otherwise we would have been kept in the dark about this matter. If it continues to develop, we don't know how much loss it will cause to the company."

Lin Kangtai frowned when he heard this. This set of rules and regulations was indeed set by himself.

However, Liu Quan's management of the warehouse was a special job, and I had thought that Liu Quan was fully responsible for it. I didn't expect that someone would find a loophole at this moment.

Xu Bo'an is also a veteran in the workplace. When he saw this situation, he knew that this was a deliberate attempt to find fault and frame someone.

This kind of shit can be found everywhere.

For a moment, Xu Bo was happy.

It was as if I saw myself who was wrongly accused when I was in Dongjiang Second Construction. (End of this chapter)
