1013: Chapter 1014: Eradicate These Pests One by One!
Chairman Chen really wanted to cry.
Don’t even mention Chen Yigeng being fine.
Even if Chen Yigeng had really made a mistake, it wasn’t his place to investigate.
People of such status, at least in Zhili Prefecture, were not to be trifled with.
Whoever dared to mess with Chen Yigeng must have lived too comfortably and was looking for excitement.
Otherwise, they were simply out of their mind.
“Leader, you’ve misunderstood, you’ve really misunderstood, I haven’t!”
Chairman Chen wished he could slap himself.
Sooner or later, he had to show up today, bumping into this person, and his subordinate had even clashed with him.
Wasn’t this courting death?
He guessed that his official cap was definitely gone, and whether there would be other consequences was really hard to say.
Those subordinates weren’t idiots.
Having never seen Chairman Chen like this, they knew the person involved was someone not even Chairman Chen could afford to offend.
They all became terrified and anxious.
What was originally a fun and easy fault-finding game turned into this in the end; who could they even complain to?
“It’s not an investigation targeting me, then it must be targeting this factory.”
Chen Yigeng said coldly, “Xinmeng Group is a star enterprise of Zhili Prefecture, not only a major taxpayer but also the most conscientious enterprise according to consumer polls.
What do you want to do?
Do you want to destroy it?”
Chairman Chen indeed wanted to destroy the Xinmeng Group, but how could he admit it when Chen Yigeng asked him that?
He repeatedly said it wasn’t.
“We were really just here for a routine inspection.”
Chairman Chen continued to defend himself.
“Bring that over!”
Chen Yigeng coldly looked at the laptop in the hands of Chairman Chen’s subordinate.
Chairman Chen didn’t want to hand it over, but how could he not.
“Don’t give it to the leader!”
Chairman Chen cursed.
The subordinate hurriedly gave the laptop to Chen Yigeng.
Chen Yigeng became angrier as he looked.
What kind of baseless questions were these; he had already seen them when he arrived, and none of the issues mentioned by Chairman Chen were true.
“This president really has a knack for fabricating charges.”
Chen Yigeng slapped the laptop onto the table, turned to his secretary, and said, “Call Lao Xu from Jincheng and ask him to come here.
Let him explain this to me!”
Lao Xu from Jincheng!
Others might not know who this was, but Chairman Chen knew.
That was Jincheng’s top boss.
His direct superior.
Chen Yigeng didn’t deign to handle this matter himself and was asking Xu Yan to deal with it.
Before long, Xu Yan arrived, sweating profusely, and upon seeing the ashen-faced Chairman Chen, kicked him to the ground.
“You shouldn’t be president anymore!
And, given your work attitude, I’m very suspicious that the Chen Family factories have safety issues.
Starting tomorrow, I’ll arrange a comprehensive investigation of the Chen Family.”
Xu Yan didn’t ask anything because he probably guessed what had happened.
Chairman Chen was usually greedy but didn’t have any major problems, and since the Chen Family was Jincheng’s major taxpayer, Xu Yan usually turned a blind eye.
But this fool had actually messed with the biggest boss in Zhili Prefecture; he couldn’t turn a blind eye even if he wanted to.
Without investigating the Chen Family thoroughly, he might not even be able to keep his own official cap.
“Don’t perform here for me, Xu Yan.
The issues with him must have been going on for a long time, I won’t fuss over the past.
But from now on, I hope to see a clean Jincheng.
If you can’t manage that, then let someone else do it.”
Chen Yigeng coldly stared at Xu Yan.
“Head Chen, rest assured, I will give my utmost until death and will completely resolve the issues in Jincheng.”
Xu Yan looked up at Xiao Chen, and although it was a face he didn’t recognize, he had to remember it.
The person who dared to sit in front of Chen Yigeng was definitely not an ordinary person.
At that moment, Chairman Chen really felt like he was going to die.
He had never imagined that such a small thing as Xinmeng Group, a minor factory, would involve Chen Yigeng.
He knew that Chen Yigeng was decisive and acted swiftly.
Moreover, it seemed like the King Yama War God was backing him.
No one could afford to provoke him.
“Please leave,” Chen Yigeng waved his hand, “and let me have tea with Mr.
Xiao undisturbed!”
This small matter could be handled by Xu Yan.
It was also a good opportunity to evaluate Xu Yan.
“Why are you still here?”
Xu Yan yelled angrily.
Chairman Chen, terrified, scrambled out of the office with a group of people.
Outside, Zhang Yan smoked a cigarette and laughed, “Chairman Chen, didn’t I warn you?
You’d regret going in!”
Chairman Chen, with his head down, didn’t say a word and fled in panic.
He was truly afraid that Chen Yigeng would change his mind and seize him then and there.
That would leave him with no opportunity at all.
He must return now and tell the Family Head to thoroughly inspect the Chen Family’s business operations.
Otherwise, once Xu Yan began his investigation, it would be too late.
Watching Chairman Chen’s disheveled escape, Zhang Yan couldn’t help feeling emotional; the Xiao Family was truly fearsome.
They had directly enlisted the biggest head of Zhili Prefecture.
The power of the Xiao Family was becoming increasingly shocking to him.
What exactly was Xiao Chen’s identity, and what was the Xiao Family’s status?
He couldn’t believe that Chen Yigeng came just because of Xinmeng Group.
It didn’t look like it at all; it seemed more like old friends catching up.
No, that wasn’t quite right.
Chen Yigeng even seemed somewhat uneasy in front of Xiao Chen.
Thinking this, he abruptly stopped, not daring to think further.
Xiao Chen’s identity might be more terrifying than he could imagine.
“Mr.
Xiao, it’s my fault for not doing my job well.
I had no idea Jincheng had become such a mess.
The Hao League’s relations are deeply entangled, and it’s truly troublesome,” sighed Chen Yigeng in the office.
Xu Yan looked at Xiao Chen apprehensively.
He didn’t know Xiao Chen’s identity, but since Chen Yigeng addressed him as Mr., it had to be significant.
“It’s my work that has been poor,” Xu Yan hurriedly said.
“Don’t blame yourselves,” Xiao Chen shook his head, “The Hao League involves more than a hundred Family Clans with intricate connections.
It’s understandable that you wouldn’t dare touch it rashly.
But now that I am here, whatever needs to be done, will be done.”
“Mr.
Xiao, with your capability, taking down the Hao League should be a piece of cake.
Why still play with them?” Chen Yigeng asked, puzzled.
“True, destroying the Hao League is simple for me, but it’s impossible to figure out how much it has infiltrated our operations.
What we need to do now is to make them expose themselves.
Eliminate these pests one by one.
And only then deal with the Hao League.
Right now, my main target is the Xifeng Group, an enemy, which marks Xinmeng Group’s critical step into Jincheng.
I hope you both can assist.”
Xiao Chen said indifferently.
“Absolutely, absolutely!” Chen Yigeng nodded repeatedly.
And Xu Yan was even quicker to agree.
If Chen Yigeng feared him, although Xu Yan didn’t know who he was, he must certainly be feared too.
“Alright, Head Xu, you can get busy.
I don’t like that Chairman Chen.
You know what to do with him, right?” Xiao Chen said with a smile.
