"Is something happening over there?"
Wang Yu, who had just signed a contract with An Lu and seen him off, frowned slightly as he heard the commotion from the exhibition area of the neighboring passenger bus factory.
Wasn't that Wang Jinhui's pig-like squeal?
What kind of trouble was that scoundrel causing now?
No, in terms of blood relation, he was my cousin. If I scold him, it won't reflect well on me!
Wang Yu muttered to himself, then instructed Han Jun to go and find out what was happening.
After signing such a large order with An Lu, it was like detonating a bomb on Mars, causing all the reporters to swarm forward like they had been injected with chicken blood, bombarding him with all sorts of questions.
An Lu, as a prince—albeit an illegitimate one—and an international friend, was accompanied by a large entourage of men in black suits for protection. The reporters naturally couldn't do anything to him.
But Wang Yu didn't have that!
Whether it was his past deeds or this current sensational, sky-high super order, it was all full of legendary color. Any one of these could be a perfect topic to capture readers' and viewers' attention!
These reporters naturally wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity, and immediately began asking Wang Yu all sorts of strange and tricky questions.
Although he disliked such scenes, Wang Yu couldn't refuse such an opportunity to advertise his factory for free.
He could only carefully answer the strange questions while incidentally promoting and publicizing his factory and products.
It was precisely at this moment that something seemed to have happened at the exhibition area of the neighboring passenger bus factory, instantly drawing all the reporters' attention.
After all, Wang Yu's news value had been sufficiently squeezed out. All that remained was to further "artistically" (fabricate) and "disrupt" (distort) it.
Moreover, with Wang Yu himself present, the car factory's exhibition area was not going anywhere. It was better to go and see what had happened next door.
Therefore, the reporters all rushed to the neighboring area...
"Finally, they're all gone."
Wang Yu breathed a sigh of relief as the reporters had mostly dispersed.
For some reason, he suddenly missed Li Mo dearly, not just because of the large orders Li Mo had brought him, but because Li Mo was clearly more suited for this kind of scene!
...
"Evidence? What evidence do you have? Wang Jinhui, how dare you slander me!"
Qian Guotao pointed at Wang Jinhui angrily. What Wang Jinhui said was actually a case of misdirection, but it sounded plausible and reasonable, leaving Qian Guotao momentarily speechless!
"Of course, I have evidence!"
Wang Jinhui sneered, "I am the cousin of Wang Yu, the factory director of Jiangyang County Automobile Factory. How could I not know about your personal relationship with him?"
Oh? Upon hearing the relationship between Wang Yu and Wang Jinhui, the onlookers began to murmur, their belief in Wang Jinhui's words increasing slightly. At the same time, they looked at Wang Jinhui with a hint of respect... He was upholding justice by denouncing his own kin!
Especially those reporters who had just transferred from Wang Yu's area were even more excited, some were on the verge of cerebral hemorrhage.
They had just interviewed Wang Yu, a near-perfect being adorned with countless miracles and glory, and now immediately there was a dramatic turn with black material exposed?
This was simply too exciting!
The reporters were going crazy with joy!
What was supposed to be a boring industrial expo, filled with empty platitudes and a mere formality of work, had, on the very first day, been filled with so much explosive news. This was truly heaven-sent!
Immediately, cameras flashed incessantly, as if the previously expensive and precious film was being used without regard for cost, capturing images wildly!
The constant flashes and shutter clicks from the surroundings made Qian Guotao's face grow heavier.
Having worked in bureaucratic systems before, he knew that in such a situation, the more he explained, the darker it would get. Mud on his pants—whether it's shit or not, it looks like shit!
Meanwhile, Wang Jinhui became arrogant, thinking that heaven was helping him and aiding him in destroying Qian Guotao!
As long as he could bring Qian Guotao down, the position of branch factory director promised by Vice President Qiu Jie would be as easy as pinching a snail's shell!
Despite his inner joy, Wang Jinhui put on an expression of extreme grief and indignation.
"I'm slandering you? Qian Guotao, touch your conscience and tell me, did you accept a batch of gifts from Wang Yu? Such as electric kettles, electric pressure cookers, and other hard-to-get items?"
Wang Jinhui asked coldly, and as he spoke, he pulled out a list, which clearly itemized some details. It listed the quantities of items Wang Yu had previously gifted to Qian Guotao. No one knew where he had gotten this list.
"This... I did accept them. But..." Qian Guotao hesitated. When Wang Yu had visited his home before, this was indeed the case.
But that was because these items were produced by Wang Yu's automobile factory, and there were temporary shortages of sales channels in the provincial capital, which made them seem so in-demand.
Who didn't understand the principle that goods are valuable away from home, and people are lowly away from home?
However, before Qian Guotao could finish speaking, Wang Jinhui spoke again, "Not only did you ignore the past scandals of Jiangyang County Automobile Factory, but you even agreed to cooperate with the automobile factory to jointly produce this passenger bus, allocating 30% of the profit to Jiangyang County Automobile Factory!
Isn't this profit transfer?"
Wang Jinhui's words caused a great uproar among the onlookers.
30% of the profit!
How corrupt was this?
Let alone their passenger bus factory, which was large and had more costs and expenses. Even an ordinary person working for someone else, after deducting all living expenses, how much would they have left?
To contribute 30% of this, it was even more ruthless than Huang Shiren!
Hearing this, even the personnel from the passenger bus factory who were following Qian Guotao couldn't help but nod in agreement.
This had also been their point of contention. It was fine for Director Qian to start a new project, but wasn't 30% of the profit too high?
Who would believe that there was no profit transfer involved?
They never expected Director Qian to be this kind of person!
The onlookers were in heated discussion, especially the reporters. They were incredibly excited, aiming their cameras and video recorders at Qian Guotao, trying to capture his expression.
"I... that's because..." Qian Guotao wanted to say something more, but he found himself truly speechless!
Under Wang Jinhui's sophistry, everything seemed so reasonable and the evidence so conclusive!
"Heh heh, what else do you have to say now?"
Wang Jinhui's face revealed an incredibly smug and triumphant expression.
"No need to say more, come with us." The personnel from the disciplinary inspection office stepped forward and said coldly to Qian Guotao.
