But Lin Yuan didn’t care about Lin Jianjun and Meng Yuelan’s words.
Instead, after taking a sip of tea, Lin Yuan turned to Lu Junlan and said: “Aunt Lu Junlan, I remember you when I was a kid. You held me several times, so I should call you aunt, and so as the other uncles and aunts here. All of you are conscientious and hardworking. All your hard work and sweat are manifested in your eyes. This is absolutely true. We can all see the hard work of every one of you for the Lin Group.”
“This is absolutely evident to all and no one can deny it.”
“However, insiders also do exist. I can’t let the mouse’s shit spoil a pot of soup and make everyone sick. And so, I must catch him/her today.”
After Lin Yuan finished talking, the eight key officials present were all silent.
They couldn’t believe Lin Yuan’s accusation.
Since none of them have spoken to Lin Yuan recently, or since he grew up, and they haven’t been in contact with him, how can he even know that the spy is among them like he said.
However, Lin Yuan’s expression was so conclusive at this time, and he spoke as the young master of the Lin family.
Lin Jianjun and Meng Yuelan did not speak also, and they don’t know what to say either.
And so, everyone kept silent.
They just watch Lin Yuan’s good show to catch the insider.
Anyway, it is the interest of the entire Lin Group that’s at stake.
Meng Yuelan wanted to stop Lin Yuan but was held back by Lin Jianjun.
This is because Lin Yuan’s confidence reminded Lin Jianjun of his late father, Lin Yuan’s grandfather.
Lin Jianjun believed in Lin Yuan’s abilities and thinking of his performance recently, Lin Jianjun was willing to give Lin Yuan a chance.
It does not matter if he fails, he will help Lin Yuan wipe off his butt and comfort these key officials.
"After all, the Lin family and the Lin Group will belong to Yuan’er so let us give him this chance as part of his training.” Lin Jianjun whispered into Meng Yuelan’s ear.
Hearing this, Meng Yuelan did not say a thing.
And Lin Yuan didn’t seem to care about what other people will think.
He walked in front of these eight key officials.
Then he went to the first person on the left and started asking.
“Aunt Lu, may I ask which media outlet did you choose last week to promote our new clothing brand project?"
While Lin Jianjun and Meng Yuelan asked the questions, Ding Fan did not even bother getting up. He immediately shouted: “No! I am not an insider! How could I be one?”
Father Lin, Mother Lin, Yan Ruyue, and these key officials, all stared at Lin Yuan and Ding Fan closely, all waiting for Lin Yuan to speak.
They were all wondering how Lin Yuan knew that Ding Fan was the insider?
But Lin Yuan shook his head and said, “No Ding Fan is not an insider.”
Hearing Lin Yuan’s words, Ding Fan’s rather plump body directly hit and bounced off the ground, and so he shouted to Lin Yuan: “I am not an insider! What are you doing?! Young Master Lin, aren’t you too much?!”
“Yes, Master Lin, you...”
They were also relieved when they heard Lin Yuan’s words and wanted to help Ding Fan speak.
But Lin Yuan didn’t wait for them to speak.
Lin Yuan looked at Ding Fan again.
“But he is a moth.” (T/N: 蛀虫 = moth/worm; I’m not sure what is the correct term to use, but the idea is someone eroding the foundation, corrupt official)
Ding Fan was kicked to the ground again.
The others were dumbfounded.
But without waiting for others to speak, Lin Yuan said directly, “Ding Fan, tell me how much interest you have gained from the Lin Group in recent years. If you talk about it in detail, we will consider giving you lighter punishment.”
“No! I haven’t been greedy! I, Ding Fan, is hardworking and upright, how could I be greedy of Lin Group’s money!?” Hearing Lin Yuan’s words, Ding Fan did not care about getting up and directly cried out of injustice.
Everyone was a little dazed by how the events are unfolding.
Hearing Ding Fan’s outcry, some of the key officials who has a good relationship with him wanted to defend him and say a few words for him.
But Lin Yuan said directly ”You say you are not greedy? Ding Fan, do you remember the construction of the Qingyang District two years ago and the Yunmei project six months ago? Just from these two projects, you earned no less than a billion under the circumstances of betraying the interests of the Group!”
“In fact, my parents are very good at talking. After all, we look at the efforts of everyone in the group. In human society, everyone is considered as a human on the premise that one won’t betray others for his own welfare.”
“But Ding Fan, how about you? How many times have you set aside the Group’s interest and put your welfare first? If you do not admit it, I will have someone check on it carefully. You don’t think you can hide it perfectly, do you?”
After Lin Yuan’s threat, Ding Fan opened and closed his mouth several times.
Because everything that Lin Yuan said...
Was all correct!
