Liang Song knew very well why Yi Anguo had come to see him this time, among those found to have problems, some were connected to him.

It wasn't that Liang Song had any issues, but since these people had problems, it would be difficult for Liang Song to pretend that nothing happened and be completely indifferent.

Chinese people are generally quite mindful of hometown ties, being from the same region as these folks, many of whom he brought and introduced to work on the mainland, Liang Song couldn't possibly be completely unconcerned when something went wrong.

Some were even his relatives or very close friends.

Yi Anguo had also understood immediately that those found with serious corruption issues were fortunately mostly unimportant people. Removing them wouldn't affect the company's normal research projects, technical development work, or business operations significantly.

The most severe among them was a factory operations manager at Hua Xing Technology, with an annual salary of one million yuan. Since becoming a factory operations manager, he had made undue profits of over six million yuan from machinery and equipment procurement.

Moreover, in daily management, he received kickbacks from his subordinates. Middle managers wanting a promotion had to give him certain benefits, like a supervisor being promoted to deputy manager, or a deputy manager shifting to manager.

He embezzled bonus funds allocated by the group to frontline employees, amounting to as much as eight million yuan.

He also exploited various ways to extract benefits from factory operations, such as selling expensive metal scraps at low prices, garnering significant benefits from supplier perks.

After investigation, it was found he had embezzled and accepted bribes totaling nearly 20 million yuan—a substantial and serious corruption.

Hua Xing Technology's factory is the most important production unit and is required to maintain confidentiality. The department operates in two shifts, with up to 3,000 employees at peak times.

The employee welfare and benefits at Hua Xing Technology's factory are considered the best within the company, due to tight production schedules and heavy tasks, the group provided substantial rewards and welfare benefits to the factory employees.

But more than half of these rewards and benefits ended up in the factory operations manager's pocket.

When the factory operations manager and others were investigated and taken away by law enforcement, the entire factory workforce was jubilant, as everyone had long awaited this day.

The factory operations manager, named Li Xuehua, was from Taiwan, previously working with Liang Song there, and happens also to be Liang Song's cousin, recommended by Liang Song to become the operations manager of Hua Xing's factory.

Back in Taiwan, Li Xiaohua was responsible for managing the production department, with a reduced annual salary of 600,000 RMB, which included various bonuses.

Upon coming to the mainland and assuming the position of factory operations manager, Li Xuehua's annual salary rose to 1 million, along with various bonus welfare treatments and equity dividend incentives, drastically higher than his income working in Taiwan.

Yet Li Xuehua was still not satisfied? He devised all sorts of methods to make money in the factory, exploiting the company's newly established status and the need for massive equipment purchase, collaborating with suppliers to inflate prices and pocket the difference.

Additionally, due to production resulting in large amounts of precious metal waste—stainless steel, copper, etc., he sold these precious metal scraps at extremely low prices to a scrap metal recycling company, personally gaining significantly.

Later, he also targeted the employees' overproduction bonuses, spoilage reduction awards, and various subsidies and welfare benefits.

He knew he couldn't embezzle all that money alone, so he took half for himself, letting the remaining half be split among the management below, refraining from distributing it to frontline employees.

He often used public funds to invite his management team to dine at high-end hotels.

Moreover, Li Xuehua abused his power to have improper relationships with female subordinates.

If he took a liking to any female subordinate, he would find ways to pursue them, but if a female subordinate didn't want to be coerced, he would find ways to pressure her, making it difficult for her to continue working.

One either had to submit to him or leave.

Submitting to him could lead to promotions, more power and various benefits.

When Liang Song saw Yi Anguo, he felt quite embarrassed, understanding that Yi Anguo didn't want to see him at this moment, intentionally avoiding him.

However, Liang Song also had his own uneasiness and helplessness! Li Xuehua was someone he brought to work on the mainland, and still his cousin.

Now, with such a major issue arising, he couldn't just ignore it. If he did, how could he return to Taiwan and face his aunt?

Liang Song had a less fortunate upbringing, and his aunt treated him the best, having helped him in countless ways.

Furthermore, Li Xuehua had always been close to Liang Song, with their relationship and bonds being quite strong.

Liang Song also hadn't expected his cousin, Li Xuehua, to be so bold as to embezzle up to 20 million yuan—this issue was really far too severe.

If it weren't for not getting past his own psychological barrier, he really didn't want to deal with this mess.

The major reason is his aunt called him, crying over the phone. Liang Song felt honestly coerced and at a loss, so he had no choice but to shamelessly come to seek help from Yi Anguo, hoping that Yi Anguo could give him some face.
