"Understood, Mr. Li." Guan Han immediately walked over.
As the company's deputy general manager, and having risen from the very bottom step by step, his business acumen was not only specialized but also broad.
Even though the ledger Ni Wang had created was peculiar, Guan Han could still easily decipher it and match it with the company's false accounts, thus finding many clues sufficient to convict Ni Wang.
Seeing this, the crowd pleaded, "Please don't arrest us, Mr. Li. We were all forced into this."
"This was all Ni Wang's personal doing. We were coerced by him and had no choice but to go along with him. It's the same as with Manager Guan!"
"Please, Mr. Li, spare me! I'm willing to return all the money I've taken over the years to the company!"
"That's a sensible statement," Li Yang said, staring at them. "Whatever illicit money you've taken from the company, return it all within one hour, and I will not pursue it further."
"But if the money isn't in the account after an hour, don't blame me for being harsh."
"Yes, yes, I'll transfer the money right away." Some people quickly responded, but half of them looked distressed. They had already spent most of the money they had embezzled, so how could they possibly afford to return it now?
When the police sirens sounded, these people cursed, "Ni Wang, you scoundrel! What were you thinking, keeping a true ledger!"
"You've doomed us all!"
"All of you, shut up! If there wasn't a true ledger, how would we have kept track of how much we took over the years?" Ni Wang glared at them angrily.
Furthermore, without the true ledger, how could one understand the daily operational situation?
It was precisely for this reason that great corrupt officials throughout history would keep their true ledgers and not destroy them, unless absolutely necessary.
However, it was often the case that two or three out of ten would be unlucky at such times, getting caught red-handed before they could destroy them.
Ni Wang encountering Li Yang was the epitome of bad luck. Without even realizing there was danger, Li Yang had already detected where the true ledger might be hidden.
He didn't even have a chance to destroy it!
His loss was not unjust.
Watching them being loaded into the police car, Guan Han asked in surprise, "Mr. Li, I didn't return all the money I owed. Why didn't you have them arrest me too?"
"You rendered meritorious service, so this time your contributions will offset your wrongdoing," Li Yang told him.
Guan Han couldn't return all the money he had embezzled, mainly because he had spent a lot on medical expenses over the years. However, he had still returned four-fifths of it and provided Li Yang with clues to the true ledger, as well as deciphering its contents. This was already a significant contribution.
"Thank you, Mr. Li," he said gratefully.
Li Yang smiled and said, "Alright, let's go to the office. It's time to treat your body."
"Yes!" Guan Han nodded excitedly.
Upon reaching the office and closing the door, Li Yang had him sit down and then said, "This is a unique secret technique from my family, and it should not be shown to others lightly. Close your eyes first. No matter what you feel, do not open them. Otherwise, if the treatment fails, I will not be responsible."
"Understood, Mr. Li. I promise I won't open my eyes," Guan Han immediately closed his eyes tightly.
Li Yang hummed and placed his hand on Guan Han's back, slowly channeling his Wuxin True Qi. As the True Qi entered Guan Han's body, it was like a mighty army, charging towards the sickness caused by the stomach cancer.
Initially, Guan Han felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, but it soon turned warm and comfortable, making him involuntarily emit a sound of pleasure.
"Alright, you can open your eyes now," Li Yang said, withdrawing his hand.
Guan Han opened his eyes, reluctant to let the pleasant sensation disappear. He involuntarily said, "Mr. Li, that was truly comfortable just now. Your family's secret technique is truly wondrous."
"I'm glad you feel it's good," Li Yang said with a smile. "From now on, you need to pay more attention to your diet. Don't eat irregularly, as it can cause problems with your stomach again. Otherwise, even if I cure you now, you'll still suffer from stomach ailments in the future."
"Yes, I will listen to you. Mr. Li, are you saying my illness is cured?" Guan Han suddenly realized and stood up from his chair in shock.
Li Yang nodded and said, "That's right, you have recovered."
"So quickly!" Guan Han was greatly astonished. He instinctively reached out and touched his stomach, indeed feeling much more comfortable and lighter than before.
In an instant, the inferiority complex and suffering caused by his illness vanished by ninety-nine percent.
The remaining one percent was disbelief.
Li Yang smiled and said, "If it weren't fast enough, how could it be my family's secret technique?"
"Alright, Manager Guan, take a short break and then inform everyone to gather in the executive conference room. I have something to announce to everyone."
"Yes, Mr. Li." Guan Han said excitedly and turned to notify everyone to meet in the conference room.
A few minutes later, everyone had arrived in the conference room.
Li Yang announced on the spot, "Everyone, please listen. From now on, Ms. Zheng Jiaqi is officially appointed as the company's General Manager, and Guan Han will continue to serve as the Deputy General Manager."
"As for your positions, there will be no changes for the time being, but you will enter a six-month probationary period. If any issues arise during this period, you will not be re-employed. However, if you mend your ways and become a new person, past mistakes will be forgiven, and you may be promoted based on your performance in the future."
"Does anyone have any objections?"
"We have no objections whatsoever. Mr. Li is wise and powerful. We sincerely admire and look up to you!" everyone quickly shook their heads.
With so many people arrested, and having narrowly escaped themselves, who would dare to have any objections?
Li Yang smiled and said, "Since there are no objections, it is decided. If anyone dares to say that Ms. Zheng is not qualified to be General Manager, or that Manager Guan is not fit to continue as Deputy General Manager, I will be displeased."
"We wouldn't dare, we absolutely wouldn't dare," everyone quickly responded.
Li Yang smiled, glanced at Zheng Jiaqi, and gestured for her to sit. "Ms. Zheng, if you have anything to say, please tell everyone now so they can cooperate with your work."
"Yes, Mr. Li." Zheng Jiaqi bowed gratefully towards him, then proceeded to explain the current situation of the factory and propose improvements.
Guan Han, being a senior employee, agreed with her remarks about the factory and led the applause. "What Ms. Zheng said is very true. It is indeed time for changes. I am the first to agree. What do you all say?"
"I second that."
"I second that too!"
"I will actively cooperate with all the work of the leaders!"
The atmosphere was very positive. After the meeting concluded, Li Yang received a call from Tang Xinyu. "I'm about to get off work. When will you come to pick me up?"
