Chapter 1352: Something Major Happened / How to Deal with It

Translator: Exodus Tales | Editor: Exodus Tales

“President Bao, President Bao! It’s not good!” Wang Hongcha, a full-time lawyer of the Ming Yang Security Company, ran into Bao Sanli’s office with a contract.

“What’s the matter? What are you doing?” Bao Sanli frowned at seeing Wang Hongcha’s panicked expression. “You are still a lawyer. How can you be so rash?”

“President Bao, it’s not good. Something bad happened!” Wang Hongcha also couldn’t care less, went directly to Bao Sanli’s side, and threw a contract book on Bao Sanli’s desk.

“What exactly happened?” Bao Sanli was somewhat dissatisfied with this Wang Hongcha. What are you doing? You are high-level personnel inside the group. How could you be so rough in doing things? Shouting; what’s next?!

“President Bao, this contract is not right; it was tampered with!” Wang Hongcha pointed to the contract on the table and said with a breathless voice, “President Bao, we were cheated!”

“What the hell is going on?” Bao Sanli immediately took the contract on the table as soon as he heard that there was something wrong with it. “Is this not the contract we just signed? What is the problem?”

“President Bao, look at the obligations of both parties at the back…” Wang Hongchao hurriedly flipped over the contract to the page of the obligations of both parties, pointing to the clauses on it and said to Bao Sanli, “President Bao, you see. It is written that within three days, we must invest fifty million into the new company’s account…”

“Wasn’t it ten million? Why has it become fifty million? What is this?” Bao Sanli was shocked. He looked at the black and white text in his hand, and beads of cold sweat on his head immediately popped out! This is not a small matter! Although there is only a one-word difference between ten million and fifty million, there is a lot of difference between them! This is not a joke!

“This is not the main thing. See the stock allocation of the two parties!” Wang Hongcha said with a bitter face, “President Bao, you see, the original agreement is that we own fifty-one percent of the shares of the new company, but this has turned into eleven percent!”

“What!” Bao Sanli was surprised again. How did this happen? Did I fall into the contract trap? This is not a trivial matter. My funds have changed from ten million to fifty million; I’ve invested more, but the number of shares won has been reduced. This is just a joke. Seeing this, Bao Sanli knew that this black and white text could not be changed baselessly. To put it bluntly, the company was defrauded by the other party!

I didn’t expect such a big issue to happen when Brother Yang is not around! Bao Sanli’s mind immediately became a blank. How could this happen?

“Did you not check the contract before? What were you looking at?” Bao Sanli was furious. He didn’t look at the contract when he signed the contract. It was the contract that Wang Hongcha had checked all along.

“I… There was no issue when I read it at that time…” Wang Hong recalled the scene at the time. He also paid particular attention to the details of the contract, and there was no problem.

“You read it, and yet there was no problem?” Bao Sanli suddenly thought of a possibility. He looked at Wang Hongcha coldly and said, “Just say it. How much benefit did the other party give you to do this?”

“What benefits?” Wang Hongcha was wondering at which stage this problem happened. Suddenly, he heard Bao Sanli shout abruptly, and he was shocked.

“Did you rig this and deliberately overlook these things?” Bao Sanli’s eyes were about to spurt out fire. “Were you bribed by them?”

After listening to Bao Sanli’s words, Wang Hongcha was shocked; his legs became weak, and he fell to the ground. He was clear what Bao Sanli’s old profession was. If this matter were not explained clearly, he would probably be fed to the fishes in the sea tomorrow.

“President Bao, in all honesty!” Wang Hongcha was scared until his voice changed. “You know, I have always been loyal to you! From the time of the annexation of the Wang Group, I have always been at your beck and call. I have never been disloyal…”

When he heard Wang Hongcha say this, Bao Sanli also calmed down. Indeed, there is no reason for this guy to rebel. He knows my background. If he rebels, I will definitely not let him go. “Then how can this be explained?”

“This is also an area I feel strange about! Right…” Suddenly, Wang Hongcha thought of one thing, as if he was grasping at straws. “President Bao, Vice President Jing Xiaolu also looked at this contract before, and she reviewed it again before signing off…”

Right! Bao Sanli thought about it, How did I forget about this? So it seems that this Wang Hongcha should be innocent! Jing Xiaolu wouldn’t conspire with him and commit crimes. Jing Xiaolu is Brother Yang’s woman. It is impossible for her to bite the hand that feeds her and give away the interests of her own company. Besides, when Jing Xiaolu follows Yang Ming, is there anything she couldn’t get? What interest does the other party have that could bribe her? Thinking of this, Bao Sanli waved his hand towards Wang Hongcha and said, “You get up. I have blamed you wrongly for this!”

“Thank you, President Bao! Thank you, President Bao…” Wang Hongcha was relieved, and there was a feeling of a new lease on life. Although Bao Sanli no longer doubted that he was double-crossing his employer, he must still be responsible for this. He was the lawyer responsible for reviewing the contract. Such a problem happened after the contract was signed, so he absolutely had to bear the main responsibility.

This is too unusual! ​​Bao Sanli’s first thought after calming down was to call Jing Xiaolu and find her. He dialed the company’s internal telephone number. “Xiaolu, come to my office for a while. There are important things to discuss with you.” He hung up the phone after he finished talking.

Jing Xiaolu was stunned, Why does Bao Sanli sound a little displeased? Moreover, every time Bao Sanli calls me, he is always polite. What happened this time? This is the first time he hung up before I could speak!

Jing Xiaolu quickly put down her work, got out of her office, and walked to Bao Sanli’s office.

She knocked on the door and was greeted with a somewhat gloomy voice from Bao Sanli. “Please come in.”

Jing Xiaolu pushed open the office door and saw Bao Sanli, who was sullen, and Wang Hongcha, who was grimacing there.

“President Bao, were you looking for me for something?” Jing Xiaolu also noticed that the atmosphere was not right and asked carefully.

“Ai!” Bao Sanli sighed, “Xiaolu, the company has a huge issue this time. Brother Yang is not at home, and we actually made things like this…”

“President Bao, what happened to the company? What made it like this?” Jing Xiaolu asked with some wonder.

“Wang Hongcha, you tell Xiaolu about the issue.” Bao Sanli pointed to the contract on the table and commanded Wang Hongcha.

Wang Hongcha also sighed, picked up the contract on the table, and handed it to Jing Xiaolu. “Vice President Jing, look at this clause of the contract…”

Jing Xiaolu took the contract, puzzled, and looked at the clauses that Wang Hongcha pointed out. At first glance, Jing Xiaolu was immediately stunned! Investing fifty million? Accounted for eleven percent of the shares?

“Where did this contract come from?” Jing Xiaolu asked subconsciously.

“This is the one we signed just now!” Bao Sanli saw Jing Xiaolu’s expression and knew that the contract she had read before was definitely different from this one. But at which stage did this happen?

“The one we signed? It’s impossible!” Jing Xiaolu widened her eyes. “I was afraid that the other party’s Liu Luyou would tamper with it, so I deliberately rechecked it when I took back the contract after he signed it. I let Wang Hongcha sign it only after I checked that there was no problem… Right, Wang Hongcha. After I gave it to you, didn’t you review it again?”

“Vice President Jing, you are right. After you found no problem after the review, I reviewed it again because I was worried. It is true that there was no problem before the signing and stamping!” Wang Hongcha nodded quickly and said.

Chapter 1360: How to Deal with It

Jing Xiaolu slightly frowned. What Wang Hongcha said was right. At the time, she suspected that Liu Luyou would tamper with the contract. When Jing Xiaolu saw that Liu Luyou’s back was facing herself, Bao Sanli, Wang Hongcha, and others, Jing Xiaolu felt that things were a bit bizarre.

As a professional lawyer responsible for a company’s signings, it was impossible not to understand some of the taboos in the business. His doings would absolutely give the other party a sense of distrust.

Although business is two-sided, since everyone wants to cooperate, it is necessary to have sincerity. However, when it is done, you must do so honorably; situations like this were rare!

Even Jing Xiaolu, who signed a contract with another company for the first time, knew that she couldn’t do something that would make the other party uncomfortable. How could Liu Luyou not know?

So, at the time, Jing Xiaolu took the contract and re-examined it again. In particular, Jing Xiaolu checked all these kinds of key details regarding the amount of capital contribution, the number of shares, and the company’s dominance. After she found that there was no problem, she then handed it over to Wang Hongcha to sign off.

As for Wang Hongcha, after he took the contract, he also re-examined the contract. After a review by both of them, the contract was signed. How could it suddenly go wrong?

Could Wang Hongcha have tampered with it after returning to the company? Jing Xiaolu shook her head. This is impossible. First, Wang Hongcha could not get the other company’s contract-specific seal. Secondly, after Wang Hongcha used our company’s contract-specific seal, it has been placed with me. After returning to the company, Jing Xiaolu locked it into the safe, so Wang Hongcha did not have any chance to reach it.

To say the least, even if Wang Hongcha had the other company’s contract-specific seal, and could also get the contract-specific seal of the Ming Yang Security Company, how did he stamp this?

A clause in the middle of the contract that he alone forged could be printed and matched with the pages of the original contract? This level of difficulty was not something that ordinary people could do.

There was only one possibility. The contract was replaced before it was signed and sealed. But how did the other party do it? Why did she and Wang Hongcha not notice it after the contract was replaced?

Jing Xiaolu thought hard but came up with nothing. Did something strange really happen? Or was there something I had overlooked?

“President Bao, I’m sure that the contract I saw after that is different from this one.” Jing Xiaolu sighed. “But I don’t know why the contract would become like this.”

“I naturally don’t doubt you.” Bao Sanli waved his hand. “I just doubt myself, and I can’t doubt you. You wouldn’t undermine your own company.”

Wang Hongcha previously suspected that Jing Xiaolu had tampered with it. When he heard Bao Sanli say this, he was shocked. Right, the memory of Yang Ming supporting Jing Xiaolu at the company meeting was still fresh. It seems that this Jing Xiaolu’s supporter is indeed Yang Ming. No wonder she could take over the position of vice president at such a young age.

Since Bao Sanli said this, Jing Xiaolu definitely had a relationship with Yang Ming, so Jing Xiaolu certainly wouldn’t do anything that harmed the company’s interests. It seems that Jing Xiaolu and I saw it wrongly.

“But this is too strange.” Jing Xiaolu looked at the contract in her hand, “What method did they use? This contract was handed over to Wang Hongcha from my hands. Wang Hongcha directly sealed the contract after the review. These things all happened under our watch, so there is no chance to replace the contract!”

“Maybe they used some form of deceit so that we all misread it?” Wang Hongcha was also at wit’s end. If they wanted to find a scapegoat for this, it would probably be him. Yang Ming could not let his woman take the blame.

“Could it be that we all misread it?” Jing Xiaolu also did not believe it.

“No matter what, this time, we fell into the contract trap.” Bao Sanli sighed. “First, no matter how the other party did it, we should think about how to deal with it.”

“President Bao, you are right. We should find a solution for this as soon as possible.” Jing Xiaolu nodded.

“But… how do we solve this? It’s written in black and white…” Wang Hongcha said with a miserable face as he pointed at the contract.

When Wang Hongcha’s words came out, Bao Sanli and Jing Xiaolu suddenly looked at each other in dismay. It seemed that no one had a good idea of how to solve it.

“I see. First, we should confirm Jiangyan Group’s attitude in this matter.” Jing Xiaolu thought about it. Whoever started the trouble should end it. Since the people from the Jiangyan Group caused this matter, then they must want to achieve some goals. So if they wanted to solve this problem, they needed to negotiate with the other party to find out the other party’s intentions and bottom line.

“Yeah! How didn’t I think of it?” Bao Sanli had to admit that Jing Xiaolu was better than himself in many ways, especially the calmness in solving problems after it happened.

“Vice President Jing is right. Since the other party has done such a thing, they must have a purpose. It’s useless for us just to stay here and worry; we should first listen to the opinions of the other party and then come up with a plan.” Wang Hongcha also nodded in agreement and said.

“I should make this call.” Jing Xiaolu thought for a moment and said voluntarily. During this time, she was in contact with Xu Xiaobin the most, so it was easier for them to communicate.

Bao Sanli and Wang Hongcha also nodded; they thought that it was best for Jing Xiaolu to make this call.

Jing Xiaolu took out her phone and dialed Xu Xiaobin’s number. It didn’t take long for Xu Xiaobin to answer the call.

Xu Xiaobin was very happy today. He thought that this contract had finally been signed, and they officially embarked on the path of cooperation on behalf of the two companies. Then, his position as the manager of Jiangyan Group’s Song Jiang office was also developing with the overall trend.

The escort company established this time was called Ming Yang Jiangyan Escort Company. On the Jiangyan Group’s side, he would be responsible, and this office would also be upgraded to a subsidiary company. Thinking about it, he would be the vice president in the escort company and considered a person with real power!

Thinking of this, Xu Xiaobin had an unspeakable excitement!

“Dear, the contract has finally been signed! Your husband is going to flourish!” When Xu Xiaobin got home, he hugged Wang Lixia. He felt that life was so beautiful as if he saw a light in his future.

“Look at how happy you are,” Wang Lixia was actually very happy. She saw that Xu Xiaobin finally had a future, so she was excited for him.

“This time, you can straighten up your back in front of your classmates, right?” Xu Xiaobin said with pride.

“Don’t you look pleased with yourself!” Wang Lixia was actually quite pleased, too; she would no longer have to be looked down upon by her classmates.

“Hehe, since there is no one here, let’s do some exercise!” Xu Xiaobin was in a good mood and had some ideas in his body.

“It’s daytime … how inappropriate is this…?” Xu Xiaobin looked more pleasing to Wang Lixia’s eyes today, so she had some ideas after Xu Xiaobin said so, but because it was daytime, she was a bit embarrassed.

“It’s okay. Liu Luyou went to find Brother Fei. There’s only the two of us here,” Xu Xiaobin said impatiently.

“Then, you should hurry…” Wang Lixia also thought about it. Under Xu Xiaobin’s insistency, she rolled to the bed…

Liu Jifei was very excited as he held the contract in his hand. He patted Liu Luyou’s shoulder. “Luyou, you do things very steadily. This time you have worked hard!”

“It was not hard. President Liu gave me this incense, so I would also like to thank President Liu!” Liu Luyou was very happy that he got a bunch of incense.

“En, you have done a good job in this matter. Okay, you can have fun for these two days. I will call you again if I need you.” Liu Jifei said with satisfaction.

“Okay, President Liu. If you have something, call me at any time.” Liu Luyou quickly promised.

After Liu Luyou was sent away, Liu Jifei took the contract and went to Xu Xiaobin to talk about it. This matter definitely could not be hidden from Xu Xiaobin. Since this had already happened, it must be told to him.

Liu Jifei didn’t tell Xu Xiaobin when the contract was signed. He was afraid that Xu Xiaobin would ruin it. Finally, Liu Luyou grabbed the contract because he was worried that Xu Xiaobin would say something to screw things up after seeing the contract on the spot.

But now, all things had become a foregone conclusion, and Liu Jifei was not afraid of anything.

Previously, Liu Jifei noticed that Xu Xiaobin had some restraining fear of Bao Sanli, so he didn’t tell Xu Xiaobin about it. Liu Jifei was afraid that Xu Xiaobin would be discouraged and didn’t dare to do it. Secondly, Liu Jifei wanted to use Xu Xiaobin to negotiate the contract with Jing Xiaolu. Only if he did not know anything, and held the attitude of really cooperating with Jing Xiaolu in the negotiations, could Jing Xiaolu have no doubt.
