CHAPTER 586
Getting to his office, he was greeted by a worked up looking Yi Wang Lei who seemed to have been pacing since God knows when.
"Jack, what is the matter?"
"I do not know much but I guess I just know something is off."
"What is?"
"See." He handed over a file with several papers inside and folded his arms as he waited for Ye Cheng to do the honours and open it.
Taking a little bit of time to access the document in his hand, Ye Cheng finally dropped his suitcase on the floor close to his leg and opened the file.
The second his eyes landed on the first page, his lips fell apart a bit as he went through it.
"You are kidding, right?" He asked Yi Wang Lei, peeling his gaze from the file in his hand.
"I wish I was. But apparently. It is what it is."
"How did you find out?" Ye Cheng questioned.
"Well, just as you asked, we kept our eyes on him and any transaction. Thank goodness we have been previewing things relating to the financial accountant. If not, I doubt we would have noticed this."
"Okay. Run a proper check on things and by the end of the day, let me know what you got."
"Alright. I would get it done."
"Thanks." Ye Cheng handed over the document to him and picked his belongings from the ground as he made his way to his seat.
By the time he was fully seated, he was shocked to see that Yi Wang Lei was still waiting.
"Huh? Any other thing?"
"Umm not really. I am just wondering," Yi Wang Lei began.
"Wondering about?"
"Hao Huizhong. You know he resurfaced here after over a year."
"Yes?"
"Well, what was he here for? You have refused to shed light on the matter."
"Because there really is nothing to shed light on, my dear friend."
Shaking his head, Yi Wang Lei made his way to the seat opposite from Ye Cheng and sat down on one. "Why?"
"Because it is not a problem affecting me. At least not yet."
"Do you know? What if it is relating to this," he pointed to the file on his other hand. "You never can tell. Your father did invest in another business by buying stocks and all from a paper company."
"Well, that was why I said we do a thorough background check on things first. And if by peradventure I find out that he really stole, hahaha… It would not be funny. For now, I want to give him the benefit of the doubt."
"Sigh! You usually do not keep things from me, Ye Cheng. Tell me, what indeed is going on."
"Wang Lei, trust me. Do this first and I would tell you. Okay?"
"Fine. Agreed. I hope I can really sort this out and like you said, benefit f the doubt but then, knowing who Chairman Ye is. That is hardly possible."
"Just go. It is still my father we are talking about here," Ye Cheng joked while chuckling a little.
"Yeah, a sense of ho=umor amidst this? Hahaha. This is three hundred million dollars. Not something to be laughing about."
"I know. Anyways, I need to get prepared. The meeting is in five minutes. You should get ready to peach for the expansion and reason to make aone standalone tower."
"Yes sir. I understand. But about Dream Star's Bio?"
"That is why it is lagging behind and almost on pause. We need to thoroughly check the produce and production. We do not want to bring in dangerous drugs into the market now and be termed, murderers."
"I understand, Ye Cheng. It won't get to that. It is why our best scientists are on the case concerning the drugs and pharmaceuticals."
"Yes. Hire more experts if we must. Be thorough and true."
"Noted, boss. Anyways, I shall take my leave now."
"Thank you."
"Anytime."
Smiling at Ye Cheng, Yi Wang Lei took his leave and rushed to check on the program.
Once he was sure that Yi Wang Lei had gone, Ye Cheng sighed again. He leaned back against his chair and rested his head on it as his mind began to throw at him all of the scenarios and issue talked about.
He shook his head, opening his eyes as he raised his hand to massage his temples and ease the stress that the news just brought to him.
Resting his hands on the table, he pushed his chair forward, anting to sort things out for the meeting when his eyes caught sight of the file on the table.
"He forgot it?" He did not know what to think Perhaps Yi Wang Lei was too busy and puzzled to even recall that he left the file.
"That naughty child! Urghh! Now is not the time to be careless. We cannot have any other board member to see this if it is true. I would need to sort it out myself and make him return all he took. Ah! Mother would be furious, especially if it is for who I think it is for."
He shook his head again and gently rested it on the table before him.
"Get it together Ye Cheng. You can handle this. Just like how you handled the rest," he encouraged himself and then stood up.
As soon as he had gotten set, arranging his suit and tie, he picked up his tablet and phone and made his way out of the office.
One last look at his office, he caught sight of the file again and let out a soft sigh. "For your sake father, I hope it is all a lie."
Quickly, he made his way to Han Qing Qing's table and smiled at her when she raised her head to look at him.
"Sir, anything the matter?"
'Umm, not really. Please on no account should anyone enter my office. Keep it locked till I return."
"Okay. But what of your wife?"
"She wouldn't be coming to the office today so do not worry about her."
"Alright, sir. I would do the needful."
"Thanks."
