Yi Anguo arranged for Yi Dalin to help with the management of the construction work at the following tourist resorts, which was like overseeing the site without being too tiring, with quite a high salary. Although he knew that this was his little uncle Yi Anguo looking out for him, offering him benefits, he didn't mind and was very willing to accept.
People are just concerned about their public image; being directly given money and being paid to help are two different matters.
Shameless, lazy, and greedy people, of course, hope that others will just give them money directly, showering them with cash.
But most people are embarrassed to accept it outright. When wealthy relatives give them money, it always feels like they're being patronized, pitied, and looked down upon.
If the family is very poor, the family members seriously ill, or the children can't afford to study, that's another matter.
Moreover, Yi Anguo wouldn't directly throw money around to give wealth to relatives. As the saying goes, it's better to teach someone to fish than to just give them fish.
What's more, when you give a favor with a peck of rice, you make a grudge with a bushel more. How much will ever be enough?
If you have assets worth tens of billions or hundreds of billions, giving them 100,000, they might want you to give one million, or even ten million.
If you don't give, they might say you're stingy or such. If you do give, no matter how much it is, it's never enough. They lack gratitude and feel it's only natural; you should be giving them that much, or even more.
Although not everyone is like this, people's hearts easily change; the human heart is the most fragile under the test of time.
Maybe the older sister and brother-in-law won't think this way, but what about the nephew? Some things are just hard to say.
Yi Anguo wanted to avoid everyone, but unexpectedly, his big cousin still found him.
Yi Anguo remembered not telling anyone he was staying at the Holiday Hotel in Jian'an. How did a rural woman of nearly sixty, his big cousin, find her way to the Holiday Hotel?
It's hard to understand, but since she's come here, it seems unavoidable not to meet.
Yi Anguo had someone bring his big cousin to the living room of his room. Accompanying the big cousin was her husband.
"An Country! I beg you! Please, for the sake of your pitiful sister, forgive Taiping this time! I'll have him return all the embezzled money, isn't that enough?"
The moment his big cousin stepped into the room, she couldn't care about how luxurious the hotel room was; she burst into tears and sobbed.
"He's your eldest nephew, and you're his uncle! How could you bear to send him to jail?"
The brother-in-law chimed in, "Taiping really did wrong this time, and he overstepped a bit, but after all, we're family! You're his uncle, you're the elder, and he's your nephew, he's still young and naive, can't you just forgive him?"
"He's still young? He's almost forty, over ten years older than me, and yet he's young and naive?" Yi Anguo couldn't help but sneer.
"Even if he lives to a hundred, he'll still be your junior! You'll always be his uncle, and he'll always be your nephew." The big cousin quickly added.
"Which junior doesn't make mistakes? As elders, we can't just hit them to death with one stroke, right?"
"There should always be a chance for the juniors to reform."
"If he dares to make such a mistake again, no matter how you handle him, I won't blame you, nor will I plead for your forgiveness."
"You can't just not give the child a single chance, right?"
"You've already disciplined him once, isn't that enough? Do you really want to push him to doom?"
"Sister! It's not that I want to doom him, he broke the law, and the law will punish him, it has nothing to do with me," Yi Anguo said.
"The police station isn't mine; I can't just arrest him when I want or release him when I wish. How could it be that simple?"
"If he cooperates actively by explaining things clearly and returning the money that should be returned, the law will naturally judge him more leniently."
"There's no use in pleading with me! It's best to advise him to tell the truth and refund the money he should return."
"That much money, where could he possibly find it? Even if he wants to refund it all, he can't." The big cousin said.
"Then there's nothing I can do. When the court session happens, the court will decide as it sees fit." Yi Anguo said mercilessly, handling it as a public affair.
"Can't you just help him this once? You have so much money; this amount doesn't matter to you, right? You just need to tell the police you're not pursuing it anymore, and that's it?" The big cousin said tearfully.
"Then you're truly mistaken; he embezzled the company's money, not mine. Although the company is mine, the company's money isn't necessarily my money, plus there are other shareholders in the company," Yi Anguo said.
...
No matter how much the big cousin and her husband pleaded, Yi Anguo didn't want to forgive Fan Taiping. Such a person simply didn't deserve forgiveness.
He had given him the greatest trust and opportunity, yet he betrayed him like this, embezzling and misappropriating over 70 million in public funds!
Moreover, he had no sympathy for the migrant workers, not even sparing their hard-earned money, showing no shred of goodwill in his heart. How could he possibly forgive him?
If he had only taken a small benefit for himself, say tens or hundreds of thousands, or even millions, Yi Anguo wouldn't be this angry. At most, he would no longer use him in the future, but he wouldn't completely refuse to forgive him and insist on handling it formally.
