People at the AtL secretary's office were greeting Ruby, who had returned from her trip, and she seemed to have brought back many small gifts for everyone.
Ruby: "Huh? Where's Crystal?"
Secretary: "She took a few days off, said she'd be back to work today."
Ruby: "She didn't quit?"
Secretary: "No, after you left for your break, she became very busy with the boss."
Ruby found it hard to believe that this spy from Xu Shuming's side dared to stay at AtL.
Why would Mr. Ou keep Crystal after knowing her identity?!
Ruby: "Is the boss in his office?"
Secretary: "He should be, I didn't really notice."
Ruby went to knock on Ou Yunchen's office door with her small gifts.
Ou Yunchen: "Come in."
Ruby: "Mr. Ou."
Ou Yunchen looked up and was also surprised to see Ruby.
Ou Yunchen: "Your vacation ended so quickly?"
Ruby: "Yes, I was too used to being away for too long and wanted to come back to work early."
Ou Yunchen: "Perfect, take these to Accountant Chen in the finance department."
Ruby quickly took them and placed the beautifully packaged small gifts on Ou Yunchen's desk.
Ou Yunchen: "What's this?"
Ruby: "Small souvenirs from my trip."
Ou Yunchen picked one up and smelled it.
Ou Yunchen: "It smells nice, thank you."
Ruby: "It's aromatherapy, it has a calming effect."
Ou Yunchen smiled and continued looking at his documents.
Ruby, however, hesitated, wanting to say something.
Ou Yunchen: "Something else?"
Ruby: "Well… Mr. Ou, I wanted to ask…"
Ou Yunchen: "Yes?"
Ruby: "Regarding my work after I returned…"
Ou Yunchen: "You're still the first secretary, no changes."
Ruby: "No, I mean, Crystal she…"
Before Ruby could finish, Ou Yunchen's door was knocked again, and Crystal walked in. They both looked surprised to see each other.
Crystal: "Sister Ruby, you're back."
Ou Yunchen: "Ruby, you can go out first."
Ruby didn't dare to say more and left with a heavy heart.
Crystal: "Mr. Ou, I've made up my mind."
Ou Yunchen put down his pen and leaned back, listening intently as Crystal spoke.
Crystal: "I've decided to help you."
Ou Yunchen seemed unsurprised. He nodded calmly, as if this was the culmination of his plan.
Ou Yunchen: "What changed your mind?"
Crystal: "Xu Shuming's identity is exposed. With his personality, he won't use me again. Even if there were lingering feelings, they wouldn't be enough for him to trust me completely."
Ou Yunchen nodded in agreement. But if Crystal couldn't be sent back, how could they monitor the current state of Su Group?
Crystal: "Even if I'm not by Xu Shuming's side, the internal information about Su Group that I've gathered over the years is enough for me to help you take down Xu Shuming."
Crystal informed Ou Yunchen about the changes Su Group had undergone over the years and the progress of the ten-billion-dollar project.
She had to admire Xu Shuming; despite his extremely chaotic personal life, it didn't affect his business success. He was a formidable business opponent.
Crystal: "Therefore, to counter externally, I don't think Datong is qualified enough."
Ou Yunchen: "What's your suggestion?"
Crystal: "I do have a somewhat unconventional idea. I wonder if you're willing to try it, Mr. Ou."
Ou Yunchen: "Tell me."
Crystal: "Have you heard of Yang Dawu, the current financial director of Su Group?"
Ou Yunchen: "Yes, he's said to be related to Xu Shuming. Last year or the year before, Su Group was fined because of some accounting errors."
Crystal: "Yes, Yang Dawu is Xu Shuming's nephew. He's not very capable, just holding the title."
Ou Yunchen: "You want me to poach Yang Dawu?"
Crystal: "No, there's no need. What use is it to poach someone like him?"
Ou Yunchen: "Then why ask about Yang Dawu?"
Crystal: "At Su Group, although Yang Dawu is the financial director, he knows nothing about finance. He has even embezzled public funds several times privately and often uses his uncle Xu Shuming's name to cheat in collaborations."
"Xu Shuming initially tried to control him, but Yang Dawu wouldn't rein himself in. He's the biggest cancer in Su Group."
"Countless small businesses have been defrauded by him, and the outstanding payments have reached millions. It's just that because Su Group is a large enterprise, no one can sue them or has the power to!"
Ou Yunchen: "Xu Shuming just lets Yang Dawu get away with it?"
Crystal: "After all, he's family. Moreover, it's said that Yang Dawu treats Xu Shuming's mother very well. When Xu Shuming is busy, Yang Dawu takes care of the elderly lady."
"In that regard, Xu Shuming is a very filial person. As long as his mother doesn't let Xu Shuming fire Yang Dawu, he wouldn't dare to dismiss him."
Ou Yunchen's eyes gleamed. This was indeed a great opportunity to cripple Su Group. If they could get close to Yang Dawu, perhaps Su Group could fall into a trap without anyone noticing.
Ou Yunchen: "Do you have a way to get a list of the businesses Yang Dawu has defrauded?"
Crystal: "No, I don't handle those. But it would be great if we could find an accountant under Yang Dawu."
Ou Yunchen suddenly thought of Accountant Chen, who had been poached from Su Group. Mrs. Su had also mentioned that Accountant Chen was underutilized at Su Group. Could this person know something?!
Ou Yunchen: "I know. I think there's someone who might be able to help us."
Crystal: "Who?"
Ou Yunchen: "Chen Yuyong."
Chen Yuyong was forced to resign by Xu Shuming. Do you remember the incident with the fake invoices last time?
That's right, he took the fall for Yang Dawu. To protect himself, Yang Dawu pushed the blame onto the hardworking Accountant Chen.
However, one shouldn't blame Yang Dawu. Thanks to him, thanks to his selfish actions, Chen Yuyong was able to join AtL smoothly.
The problem was that since Chen Yuyong arrived at AtL, he hadn't revealed any information about Su Group. He was too tight-lipped, a truly excellent accountant!!!
Ou Yunchen pressed the phone and called for Accountant Chen.
As soon as Accountant Chen entered, he saw Crystal standing in the office and quickly averted his gaze, pretending not to know her.
Ou Yunchen: "Accountant Chen, you don't need to be so reserved. Crystal is now officially an employee here."
Accountant Chen: "Hello…"
Accountant Chen's cautious demeanor was amusing, but it was for the best. The mistreatment he suffered under Yang Dawu had taught him to pretend ignorance about his boss's affairs and never be curious.
Ou Yunchen: "Accountant Chen, you and Crystal were both wronged by Su Group. I believe you understand why Madam Su strongly requested you to work at AtL. Now that the time is right, you should contribute your strength."
Accountant Chen: "I… I don't understand, boss…"
Crystal: "Accountant Chen, I have left Xu Shuming, and I have told Mr. Ou everything about Yang Dawu. We are on the same side now. Don't you want Yang Dawu to get what he deserves?"
Accountant Chen: "What do you want me to do?"
Ou Yunchen: "Did Yang Dawu abuse his power for personal gain, signing unequal contracts with small businesses under the guise of Su Group? Did he owe payments?"
Accountant Chen nodded one by one. He had worked under Yang Dawu for so many years, and these were commonplace.
Ou Yunchen: "Did you keep any evidence?"
Accountant Chen cautiously looked at Crystal, then at Ou Yunchen, hesitated, and finally opened his portable computer.
When an encrypted file was opened, Ou Yunchen and Crystal felt a weight lifted from their hearts. These lists, financial records, and contract copies would be a powerful blow to put Yang Dawu on the pillory.
The amount he defrauded was enough to stir up a storm in the stock market and tarnish the entire Su Group's reputation as an untrustworthy company!
Accountant Chen: "But these contracts were all signed by me, and the payments were made by me. Yang Dawu also asked me to conceal them. If you make them public, I will also be implicated…"
Should they sacrifice Accountant Chen, a valuable asset?
It seemed they needed to plan carefully whether to use this dark material to attack Su Group…
