644 Accepting Investigation
The two staff members were relieved to see that she was actively cooperating. Otherwise, they would have called the Public Security Department over for assistance.
“President Chu,” the male staff member said, “if you have proof of the transaction and the whereabouts of this one million, you need to submit it within seven working days. Otherwise, if we can’t find any evidence, we will send you to court according to the law. Depending on the seriousness of the case, you may be fined and sentenced to five years in prison.”
Chu Ning had already thought of a countermeasure. She had evidence, but she was not in a hurry to submit it. Seven working days was not long, but it was enough for her to use her connections and power to find out who it was.
“If there’s any evidence, I’ll definitely submit it to you as soon as possible so that the misunderstanding can be resolved as soon as possible,” Chu Ning said with a smile.
The staff reminded her in a businesslike manner, “The authenticity, accuracy, and completeness of the evidence must be guaranteed. Falsifications will only make the punishment heavier.”
Chu Ning agreed readily. She sent the two of them to the entrance of the office and watched them leave. She and Zhang Bo returned to the office.
Zhang Bo, who was sitting on the sofa, was obviously anxious and depressed. He took responsibility for this matter and felt that he had not found out anything wrong, which led to that day’s situation.
Chu Ning looked at his dejected expression and burst out laughing.
Zhang Bo was shocked by her laughter. He didn’t expect her to be so strong. She didn’t even care about five years in prison?
Perhaps Zhang Bo was too shocked at that moment, so much so that he had written his thoughts on his face. Chu Ning found it even more interesting and her smile brightened.
“President Chu, you can’t have…been dealt with a blow, right?” Zhang Bo asked carefully. Seeing that Chu Ning’s smile was getting even wider, he swallowed. “President Chu, don’t be too anxious. We definitely have a way. Don’t do anything stupid.”
Chu Ning saw his pitiful look and stopped teasing him. “What are you afraid of? Do you think I’ll be sentenced?”
Zhang Bo immediately shook his head, but he soon hesitated. Although he knew that Chu Ning was resourceful and far-sighted, he was confident that she could fight against the government and the law, but not that much.
Chu Ning walked over and sat beside him. She patted his back and said earnestly, “You have to believe in your boss, Comrade Zhang Bo.”
Zhang Bo could only smile bitterly as he listened to Chu Ning.
Chu Ning cleared her throat, the smile on her face yet to disappear. She said in a relaxed tone, “Although the company doesn’t have a complete record of the expenditure of more than one million yuan, I kept it in my personal records; it’s very clear.”
Zhang Bo was overjoyed and slapped his thigh excitedly. “Then why didn’t you submit it just now? I thought our company was going to close down.” Since the key problem had been solved, Zhang Bo was in the mood to joke with Chu Ning. “Could it be that President Chu wants to experience the thrill of being investigated and enrich your life experience?”
Chu Ning shook her head and said mysteriously, “Zhang Bo, do you still remember the reason why this expenditure was not recorded?”
Zhang Bo rubbed his chin as he tried to recall. He quickly remembered. “I remember that this expenditure was the first profit of Cloud Shopping. At that time, we had a meeting and said that we would donate one million yuan to commemorate this, right?”
Seeing Chu Ning nod, Zhang Bo continued to recall the scene during the meeting. “I remember that the manager of the finance department at that time was Sun Ru. Any expenses that were not recorded needed to be signed by both you and Sun Ru.”
Speaking of this Zhang Bo seemed to be enlightened. “Sun Ru was the one who suggested it that time, and she’s the one who reported it this time!”
Chu Ning first nodded, then shook her head. “To be precise, the evidence and witnesses should be provided by Sun Ru, but we don’t know if she was the one who reported it.” Chu Ning sneered. “Not only is our former finance manager short-sighted, but she’s also fickle-minded and a traitor.”
“You mean Sun Ru has someone backing her up?” Zhang Bo’s face was solemn. “She resigned with the entire finance department because she received benefits from someone else?”
“Congratulations, you’re right.” Chu Ning snapped her fingers.
Zhang Bo sorted out his thoughts and finally understood Chu Ning’s intentions. “You want to use this opportunity to catch the person behind Sun Ru?”
Chu Ning had an eager look on her face. “Yesterday, The Parade was destroyed by a group of gangsters. The leader even said that I have to be careful. Today, the people from the Industry and Commerce Bureau came to look for me. It’s too much of a coincidence.”
Zhang Bo also felt that things weren’t as simple as they seemed. “But the Industry and Commerce Bureau only takes seven working days at most to handle the report. The timing can’t be so perfect, right?”
Chu Ning clasped her hands together. “Doesn’t that mean that the mastermind is powerful and works on both sides of the law?”
