As five official cars entered the campus, the security guards at the gate immediately reported it.
Before the official cars even reached their destination, six or seven university leaders from Jingda, including an executive vice president, a vice president, the Party Secretary, and the Director of the Office, were waiting at the entrance to the campus.
Under normal circumstances, a surprise visit from government departments would involve at most two or three leaders to receive them, and it would certainly not alarm the university's executive vice president.
But today's situation was a bit special.
The visiting departments were not just one, but five official cars representing different units.
This is why the executive vice president was leading the reception.
As soon as the doors of the five official cars opened, Geng Chenggong, the executive vice president of Jingda, immediately stepped forward with his entourage.
However, upon seeing the people getting out of the cars, the leaders' expressions suddenly became unnatural, filled with surprise and confusion.
"Long time no see, President Geng!"
"Director Zhou, we haven't seen each other in almost a year!"
The leader from the front car of the official convoy was in charge.
As the two parties met, the leaders from both sides greeted each other enthusiastically.
After the greetings, Geng Chenggong also shook hands with the leaders from the other four units and exchanged pleasantries.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, he began to introduce the official delegation to the university leaders behind him: "This is Deputy Director Zhou Yonghe of the Kyoto Municipal Tax Bureau, Deputy Director Xu Zong of the Kyoto Police Department in charge of economic investigation, and Deputy Director Guo Chengyun of the Kyoto Audit Bureau.
"And Deputy Director Li Guanglin of the Kyoto Municipal Education Bureau. We are all old friends!"
For the other university leaders, they were not very familiar with the leaders from the tax, police, and audit departments.
Although they didn't know why the leaders from these three departments were visiting, the university leaders still shook hands with them warmly, introducing themselves and their positions.
As for Deputy Director Li Guanglin of the Education Bureau, the university leaders were very familiar with him.
Seeing each other, they nodded amicably and exchanged greetings.
It was not until Geng Chenggong was about to introduce the last leader that his gaze became somewhat complicated, but he still smiled and introduced: "This is Deputy Director Wu Chengxian of the Kyoto Disciplinary Inspection Commission."
Upon hearing the words "Disciplinary Inspection Commission," the expressions of the six university leaders immediately became unnatural.
The atmosphere at the scene also became somewhat stiff.
Except for Li Guanglin from the Education Bureau, first it was the tax bureau, then the economic investigation department of the police, then the audit bureau, and finally the disciplinary inspection commission.
At this moment, the university leaders of Jingda had already reacted.
The sudden visit of five major departments was definitely not a routine inspection, and something big was bound to happen.
They were all seasoned veterans in their political careers and could smell something fishy if the wind shifted slightly.
Seeing the surprised and puzzled eyes of the university leaders, Deputy Director Wu Chengxian, a man of integrity, stepped forward to shake hands with them.
After a simple introduction, Zhou Yonghe put away his smile and took out several documents from the briefcase handed to him by his secretary.
He placed the documents in front of Geng Chenggong and said solemnly, "President Geng, we have received reports of tax evasion and avoidance issues in your university's public entrepreneurship competition. We now request the competition organizing committee to cooperate with the investigation."
Geng Chenggong frowned and suddenly turned to look at Vice President Qin Cheng.
Vice President Qin appeared calm, but fine beads of sweat had appeared on his forehead.
As Zhou Yonghe finished speaking, Guo Chengyun from the Audit Bureau stepped forward and handed over an investigation order: "President Geng, based on the clues and reports we have received, our bureau seriously suspects that the personnel of your university's public entrepreneurship competition organizing committee have engaged in disciplinary violations such as misappropriation and embezzlement of the national college student entrepreneurship subsidy fund."
As soon as he finished speaking, before the university leaders could react, Wu Chengxian from the Disciplinary Inspection Commission also stepped forward with relevant documents and said, "President Geng, the leadership of your university's entrepreneurship competition organizing committee has serious disciplinary violations such as corruption and bribery. Please have someone come forward to cooperate with the investigation."
The words of the deputy directors from the three major departments stunned the university leaders who had come to receive them.
As for Vice President Qin Cheng, his composure disappeared, and his body was trembling slightly.
It was well known that he was the main person in charge of this year's entrepreneurship competition.
As long as he was found guilty of misappropriating public funds, corruption, or bribery, he would be the first to be held accountable, and his official career would be over.
Seeing the investigation and search documents being handed over one after another, Geng Chenggong's entire face turned grim.
He swept a cold glance at Qin Cheng beside him, took the documents, and cooperated with the investigation.
As departments such as the tax bureau, audit bureau, and disciplinary inspection commission began their investigations, the disciplinary violations hidden within the entrepreneurship competition quickly surfaced.
It was confirmed that many projects in this year's entrepreneurship competition had been profitable for half a year.
Furthermore, some projects had already reached the threshold for tax payment.
At the same time, a few projects had recently received investments or been acquired.
However, these profitable projects that had already received investment or been acquired showed serious signs of tax evasion, avoidance, and fraud.
The amount of taxes evaded exceeded one million yuan.
As the tax evasion crimes of the competition projects were established, the audit department also uncovered the issues with the entrepreneurship funds for the competition.
Out of six million yuan in startup funds, only 2.2 million yuan was actually invested in the startup projects.
The remaining 3.8 million yuan had disappeared mysteriously and was unaccounted for.
According to the verification of the reported materials brought by the audit department, the remaining 3.8 million yuan in startup funds was misappropriated through various means or flowed into several unknown accounts.
This review was only for the current year's entrepreneurship competition.
The audit department had already begun to trace back to previous years, searching for instances of loss of startup funds from past competitions.
While the tax and audit departments were in action, the disciplinary inspection commission was also busy.
After interrogating the leaders of the competition organizing committee and conducting investigations from various angles.
Two-thirds of the entire competition organizing committee had received red envelopes, gift cards, antiques, famous wines, and other valuable items from the parents of students.
Then, using their power, they arbitrarily assigned entrepreneurship projects to the students who had given them gifts.
During the investigation, the disciplinary inspection personnel also discovered that entrepreneurship projects planned by students who had not given gifts or had no background were appropriated by the leaders of the competition organizing committee for their personal gain.
These appropriated entrepreneurship projects were either sold at a high price to wealthy and powerful students, or they were sold at a high price to social investors.
In short, the members of the competition organizing committee directly treated the entrepreneurship competition as a tool for profit.
The wealth they obtained ranged from millions to tens of millions of Dragon Country currency.
And the investigation was only focusing on the current year's entrepreneurship competition.
The investigation team of the disciplinary inspection commission could hardly imagine how much profit the former members of the competition organizing committee had reaped from the competitions in previous years.
One by one, acts of violating discipline and law were uncovered.
Countless acts of corruption involving millions and tens of millions of yuan were confirmed.
This left Geng Chenggong and other university leaders in shock.
They never expected that an entrepreneurship competition held by a university, a platform to provide entrepreneurial paths for students, would become a tool for university teachers to amass wealth.
As the various chains of evidence were established, Qin Cheng immediately became the focus of the investigation.
When Qin Cheng was taken away for investigation, he was still vehemently defending himself.
At the same time, he also mentioned a secret related to the entrepreneurship competition.
