Reborn 10 years later: First, save 100 million Bitcoins

Even the usually composed Su Cong panicked a little when he saw the text message.

This was beyond Su Cong's expectations; he hadn't anticipated that the audit department would personally go to the construction site to inspect the quality.

The key point is, this isn't exactly the kind of job the audit department should be doing.

Zhou Ping, standing to the side, was deathly pale, his hands trembling slightly, and his eyes filled with fear.

"It's over, it's completely over, they actually went to the construction site to check."

"President Su, didn't you say that the audit department never checks the quality of materials? It seems that this time they really came for us, they came prepared. This time we're really in trouble."

This terrified Zhou Ping; his expression... looked like he was about to cry.

Zhou Ping doesn't give the impression of being the composure a vice president should have.

That makes sense, you might get arrested if things go wrong, so what's the point of being composed!

At this moment, even the usually composed Su Cong had his brows furrowed tightly.

He also realized that something was wrong, and very wrong.

It is against regulations for the auditing department to personally inspect the materials on-site.

Most importantly, the quality problems at the construction site cannot be hidden; they are all there for all to see.

Unless... unless this audit team doesn't understand the quality of the materials at all and is just going through the motions.

Otherwise, any ordinary quality inspector could tell at a glance that the quality is subpar.

Thinking of this, Su Cong's Adam's apple bobbed again as he suppressed his inner turmoil and forced himself to remain calm.

"Don't panic, Zhou Ping, calm down."

"Although they went to the site, all previous acceptance records were satisfactory."

"These people are all auditors and accountants; they have no idea about material quality."

"I reckon it's just for show."

Even at this moment, Su Cong still clung to a sliver of hope.

Because in Su Cong's mind, this was not the audit team's job, not their job, so naturally they wouldn't understand it.

After listening, Zhou Ping calmed down a bit and realized that Su Cong's words made sense.

"That's true." Zhou Ping thought back carefully: "Let alone them, when I first entered this industry, I had no idea what inferior steel bars and cement were."

"Anyway, in my eyes, there seems to be no difference between high-quality and low-quality materials."

"If they don't understand either, then their trip there was just for show, since they wouldn't really get it anyway."

For a moment, they both seemed to have a sense of self-comfort.

Because if someone really doesn't understand, even if they have both inferior and high-quality steel bars in front of them, they won't be able to tell the difference.

So these two are betting that all the people in the audit department are complete novices.

"jingle!"

Just then, Tang Xiaoyan sent another message.

[Mr. Su, when are you and Mr. Zhou arriving? They're almost at the construction site, and they've brought three senior quality control engineers with them; they're on their way there.]

"Depend on!!!"

When Su Cong saw the message, he panicked completely and his expression changed drastically!

Because once they arrive at the construction site, the whole affair will be completely exposed.

After all, he only then realized that the audit team had actually brought three quality control engineers with them.

With the building materials they used, a quality control engineer only needs to glance at them to know how inferior they are.

This is something that's extremely difficult to understand for those in different fields.

Ordinary people can't understand it, but professional quality control engineers, to an extreme degree, can even tell the difference by touching it with their eyes closed.

When Zhou Ping saw the message, he collapsed onto the sofa, his voice trembling.

"It's over, it's really over. They actually brought three professional quality inspectors with them."

"The construction materials we used immediately exposed our flaws."

"Once they're caught, they won't even need to check the accounts."

Indeed, with this material, there's no need to check the accounts.

After all, their main expense is the cost of materials. For example, if the normal market price of materials is 100 yuan, they quote 110 yuan, which is an overstatement of 10%.

But the materials they are using now are not worth 100 yuan, but 30 yuan, yet the bill says 110 yuan.

Because when we did the final accounting last year, we used materials worth 60 yuan, but now we're even more greedy and are using materials worth 30 yuan.

Therefore, once the truth is revealed, the auditing department no longer needs to investigate the accounts.

The facts now before us will inevitably expose the truth.

Thinking about this, Zhou Ping's legs were trembling; he really didn't want to go in.

"What should we do? What should we do? President Su, please think of something!"

Zhou Ping is now like a headless fly, completely at a loss for what to do.

Su Cong was also trying his best to adjust and calm himself down.

A few seconds later.

Su Cong took a deep breath: "The only way now is to face this problem directly, because it really can't be hidden anymore."

"Since we can't hide it anymore, we should now consider how to deal with this problem."

"Let's go to the scene right now, take the initiative to cooperate, and actively explain. We must suppress this matter."

"But one thing, when you're explaining, try not to say too much and leave it all to me."

"Furthermore, if this matter is to be suppressed, it simply requires money."

"Even if these people in the audit department came from Polaris, their monthly salary would not exceed 3, and that Team Leader Jiang would not exceed 5 a month."

"We can just throw money at it. I refuse to believe anyone can resist the temptation of money."

After Su Cong finished speaking, many things suddenly became clear in what had been an extremely desperate situation.

As Su Cong said, since it can't be hidden anymore, let's face it head-on.

If all else fails, we'll just throw money at it!

In addition, Su Cong and Zhou Ping always had an extra identity.

With this identity and enough money, this matter might not be difficult to handle.

After discussing it, the two of them didn't dare to delay and rushed to the construction site.

at the same time!

Jiang Bei and his men have already headed to the construction site.

The branch office is located just across the road from the construction site, about a 15-minute walk away.

On the way there, the deputy team leader, Lao Guo, also came along.

Originally, Lao Guo planned to keep the audit going, but after learning about this background, there was no need to continue the audit.

Although Lao Guo is the deputy leader of this group, his rank is at least three levels lower than Jiang Bei's.

In this group, he is the deputy group leader, but in Polaris, Lao Guo can only be considered a relatively senior deputy manager in the department.

Jiang Bei, on the other hand, is the director of the entire department.

Old Guo, walking behind Jiang Bei, also had a hint of concern on his face, and whispered in his ear.

"Director Jiang, why don't you call General Manager Xiao first and ask him about it?"

"After all... if the background relationship between the general manager and the deputy general manager is true, then investigating this so drastically will offend people."

"Because in the end, whether or not there are any problems, Su Cong and Zhou Ping will probably retaliate against us, thinking that we are targeting them."

"So... I feel like this isn't quite right. Why don't you ask Mr. Xiao for his opinion?"

Lao Guo's worries are understandable; after all, if he really offends someone, he might lose his job.

No matter what, Lao Guo was still an internal employee of Polaris Corporation and had finally become a deputy manager. Although he couldn't compare to Jiang Bei's position as director, he could still earn at least tens of thousands a month.

Besides, with such good benefits at Polaris, nobody wants to lose their job.

The key point is that in the workplace, if something like this really blows up, and if the boss gets angry, they usually won't fire someone at the director level, but rather someone like Lao Guo, making him take the blame.

Although Lao Guo was only a minor supervisor, he was also part of the management team. So, firing him was no big deal, and he was the best person to take the blame.

He's practically the industry's undisputed scapegoat.

After all, it's unrealistic to dismiss the head of the audit department if something goes wrong, but dismissing ordinary staff members in the audit department won't quell the situation.

So, the person who's most panicked right now is actually Lao Guo, because he's afraid of taking the blame in the end.

After hearing what Lao Guo just said, Jiang Bei could very well understand Lao Guo's concerns.

"Don't worry, Lao Guo, I understand your concerns. If President Xiao really blames me in the end, I'll take full responsibility."

"I didn't tell you before I came here, but actually... it was President Xiao who sent me here."

"Don't you realize that if President Xiao hadn't personally sent me here, I wouldn't have come here in person?"

"So, since Mr. Xiao sent me, then investigate as much as you want, investigate thoroughly."

After hearing Jiang Bei's answer, the worry on Lao Guo's face immediately disappeared, but... he became even more puzzled.

"Huh?" Old Guo lowered his voice even further: "Director Jiang, so it was General Manager Xiao who personally sent you, but..."

"But... surely President Xiao couldn't possibly be unaware of Su Cong and Zhou Ping's backgrounds?"

"Especially Zhou Ping, didn't that female secretary just say that Zhou Ping is not only an old classmate, but also someone who once took a knife for President Xiao?"

Old Guo's face was full of doubt, which made Jiang Bei's originally calm face reveal a meaningful smile.

"Old Guo," Jiang Bei couldn't help but ask, "Let's talk about Zhou Ping first. What do you think... even if Zhou Ping were to ruthlessly steal profits and kickbacks, how much money could he personally get at most?"

Old Guo thought about it seriously: "If we're just talking about the individual, I think even if he were to steal kickbacks, it would be at most 500 million, and he'd only get a maximum of 200 million in his hands."

"Hmm." Jiang Bei nodded slightly: "Even if we calculate it as 10 times, or even multiply it by 10, he would still have 2000 million in his hands, and that's illegal."

"Do you think, given Mr. Xiao's personality, he would only let someone who once shielded him from harm earn this little money?"

"You should know that the 2000 million I just mentioned is multiplied by 10, and it's still illegal income."

"Given Mr. Xiao's personality, wouldn't it be better to just give someone as greedy as him a hundred million? Why go to all this trouble?"

"Don't you... understand Mr. Xiao's style?"

As the Jiangbei accent faded, Lao Guo suddenly felt a sense of realization.

Jiang Bei never believed this nonsense from the beginning, and his analysis was very thorough.

After being reminded of this, Lao Guo slapped his forehead, his expression becoming even more serious.

"Director Jiang, if that's the case, then their identities are fake?"

"Not necessarily!" Jiang Bei shook his head and continued his analysis: "The reason I can't call President Xiao to confirm right now is because we can't make that call yet."

"Since Mr. Xiao personally sent me here, there's no need for me to call and ask whether to continue the investigation; that would be unnecessary."

"Secondly, Zhou Ping might really be Mr. Xiao's classmate, since we're about the same age. But that's not important; Mr. Xiao has plenty of classmates."

"It's definitely impossible for him to take the blow for you, but it's certainly possible for your classmate to do so, although he's most likely just using your position to intimidate you."

"Furthermore, putting Zhou Ping aside for now, I strongly suspect that Su Cong might actually be a relative of President Su Mingche."

"And since President Xiao personally sent me to conduct a thorough investigation, perhaps..."

At this point, Jiang Bei paused for a few seconds, his tone cautious.

"Perhaps... President Xiao wants to give CEO Su Mingche a good talking-to. Who knows... our CEO might be getting replaced!"

"ah???"
