The wealthy entrepreneur: I want to support millions of employees!.

Chapter 1051 A rope always breaks at its thinnest point, and misfortune always targets the unfortunate!
After discovering that Diao Xueying hadn't replied to his message, Su Yang also sent Dou Lirong a WeChat message: "Tang Ximing is involved in the MV shooting, remember to pay the corresponding appearance fee."

Dou Lirong: "They pay for this? It's just a music video that's a few minutes long..."

Su Yang: "We definitely have to pay the labor fee. Didn't we get paid for filming our company's TV series?"

Dou Lirong: "Okay, boss!"

The next day, Tang Ximing received the company's work assignment.

When he heard that he was going to be cast in a music video for a girl group, he couldn't help but sigh!
However, he had no complaints about the company, as the company was truly willing to invest resources in him.

Moreover, the boss has an excellent eye for scripts, and his resources are always spot on!

He has been mentoring newcomers in two recent dramas, but these two dramas have not diminished his popularity and influence; instead, they have propelled him to new heights of fame!
He's a top-tier actor now, earning tens of millions for each film he makes, and he lives a very glamorous life!
He now thinks... helping new female players rank up is actually pretty good!
"Don't sigh!" Dou Lirong said with a smile, "The boss said he'll get paid for helping those girls film music videos!"

"Why are you so embarrassed?"

Upon hearing Dou Lirong's words, Tang Ximing couldn't help but laugh.

As long as he gets paid, he doesn't feel tired!
He just said it!

The boss is so generous, how could he possibly shortchange him?

Other film and television companies are stingy and try to get their actors to lower their fees when filming self-produced dramas, but Xinghuo Entertainment is different. They always charge their actors the normal market price!

But just then, he suddenly remembered that he was now an artist under Xinghuo Entertainment, not Linyi Film and Television... then there was no problem!
Two days later, Su Yang also received news that the management of the five supermarkets that were about to close down had been thoroughly investigated, and there were indeed some corruption issues among them.

Some simply accept kickbacks, some manipulate marketing expenses, and some directly "reimburse" company assets and then resell them privately...

For small amounts, the company was ordered to pay compensation directly; for larger amounts, the case was transferred to the authorities.
If you can pay compensation, you can get a letter of understanding from the company and try to get a lighter sentence!
If someone admits their mistake and doesn't put up any resistance, saving the audit department time, they might be considered for a lighter sentence, as long as they pay compensation!
Su Yang still gave the company and the audit department a certain degree of flexibility and autonomy!
After a quick check, he discovered that several managers with relatively low loyalty and moral standards had not been investigated... but he gave up after a moment's thought!
These individuals may operate in a rather secretive manner, and even if they are involved in corruption, the amount involved is likely not very large.

It's also possible that they did something wrong elsewhere.

After all, moral character and loyalty to the company are only for reference, not for certainty!
Just like some people on this list, whose moral standards are only average, they were still found to have problems.

The investigation will only continue if he personally intervenes!
Even if the audit department staff digs deep enough, what they uncover might not even be enough to cover their travel expenses.

After thinking for a moment, Su Yang instructed Jiancheng Investment to temporarily close the net, leaving half a month for the others to surrender themselves.

Xiang Weixin whispered, "Chairman, the audit department has also encountered a troublesome matter..."

Su Yang asked in confusion, "What is it?"

"The purchasing manager of one of the branches has embezzled hundreds of thousands of yuan over the years..."

"This is quite a sum, isn't it?" Su Yang frowned. "What's so difficult about handling it? If the other party admits their mistake and shows remorse, we can consider paying compensation and then dismissing them. You guys figure it out yourselves!"

"It will be very difficult to get this money back!"

"How to say?"

"He used all that money to treat his wife and family members' illnesses!"

"Uh……"

Su Yang was stunned.

"His wife has been frail since childhood, with health problems stemming from childbirth. His parents-in-law are from the countryside and are now almost unable to work. His mother-in-law has a worn-out meniscus and can't walk, while his father-in-law broke his leg on a construction site years ago and also has difficulty walking... His father used to be a contractor, but it seems he ran into trouble with the advance payments and now owes a mountain of debt to relatives and friends. He's even sold his house and his mental health has collapsed. His mother has chronic illnesses..."

Xiang Weixin continued, "His child is only ten years old... If you want him to pay compensation, you'll probably have to make him take out an online loan."

"Have you checked everything?"

"I've checked, even the local neighborhood committee members are on his behalf and willing to vouch for him... They just hope our company can make an exception!" "Oh, I see!"

Su Yang rubbed his temples, feeling somewhat helpless.

He had encountered this kind of thing before, after all, the company had an internal charitable fund, and he had to review it every month!
A rope always breaks at its thinnest point, and misfortune always seems to strike those who are destined for hardship... Sometimes, some people are simply unlucky and end up in hell mode.

There are people like that in Su Yang's company too, it's like they've offended God!
Even so, the fact that the other party misappropriated company assets cannot be denied, so now Xiang Weixin is in a bit of a dilemma!
How many people are involved with him?

"Nobody's here!" Xiang Weixin whispered. "He was reported by the supplier!"

"His suppliers who get paid?"

"No, it's from the competitor... The guy who used to give him kickbacks jumped ship to a competitor!"

"Uh..." Su Yang felt this guy was really unlucky. "What do you think?"

"How about we let him resign?" Xiang Weixin hesitated for a moment before saying, "I've discussed it with the other managers. If we forcibly take back this money, it will probably drive him to the brink of despair. If it really causes a public relations crisis, it will be bad for our company's reputation!"

Su Yang thought for a moment and said, "If we compensate him according to n+1, how much should we give him?"

"About one hundred thousand!"

“No matter what, he can’t stay at the company in this situation… Let’s donate 100,000 yuan to him in the name of helping employees in need, and then let him resign on his own!” Su Yang took a deep breath and said, “Don’t mention the matter of compensation, we’ll just accept our bad luck!”

Su Yang could understand Xiang Weixin's concerns about public opinion.

As a veteran in the self-media industry, he also understands that large companies like theirs are naturally at a "disadvantage" in the current online public opinion arena. The public's emotional balance naturally leans towards the weaker party, while the company, as the stronger party, is prone to provoking resistance.

In the era of social media, information dissemination is decentralized, and many self-media personalities are fueling the fire by treating criticism of companies as politically motivated. This, combined with the emotional expressions of individual users, makes it easier to create a collective outcry. If a company's clarifications and statements are not reacted to in time, they can easily be drowned out.

Supermarkets are businesses that cater to the general public, so they should pay more attention to public opinion. That's why sometimes management becomes overly cautious.

Of course, Su Yang can't criticize the management, and he's keeping a low profile online these days.

After all, people like him who exploit others' labor and squeeze out their surplus value are the kind of people who should be publicly shamed online...

But for such vulnerable people, the company cannot allow them to feel that "I am weak and therefore justified"!

Cutting off contact through proper channels early on makes it less likely to be morally blackmailed. The 100,000 yuan is a way to give him some leeway!

Anyway, by raiding the homes of other problematic management teams, the company still earns a decent amount of extra income and saves on compensation.

"Uh... okay, boss!"

Xiang Weixin thought about it for a moment and then agreed.

The company did lose some money doing this, but since it was the boss's decision, he naturally agreed.

After all, it's a bit difficult for him to do this!
"However, his confession should be carefully preserved. If any problems arise, it will be very important evidence!"

"I understand!"

How's the supply chain integration going lately?

"We've been running around every day, and we've made some progress!"

How are the newly hired employees doing?

"They are all quite capable, which has relieved a lot of pressure for me... Some of the young men are also great, with high comprehension, not afraid of hard work, and very easy to use!"
