Chapter 192: 192: Underestimated His Shamelessness_1
An audit?
I knew something was wrong as soon as I heard it.
Just yesterday, I threatened Gu Yuanzhou with Zhenyi Company’s tax evasion over the past two years.
But, I just threatened him, I didn’t report it.
Could someone else have reported it?
At that moment, I hadn’t even fathomed what Gu Yuanzhou was truly capable of.
I hurriedly ran to the finance department.
As expected, an auditor had already arrived to examine the accounts.
Several employees were gathered around, quietly discussing the situation.
“Miss Song!”
Someone was calling me in a low voice.
I turned around to see Auntie Shen from the meeting room gesturing to me from the break room.
I quickly went over.
She looked a bit flustered, “Miss Song, our company is going to be in major trouble! Years ago, the company faked some accounts and evaded tens of millions in taxes!”
“Who reported it?”
“I have no idea!”
“Relax. If the sky falls, Gu Yuanzhou will hold it up!”
“Miss Song, the gift last night was left at my doorstep by you, right?”
I didn’t answer directly. Instead, I patted her on the shoulder and smiled, “Don’t panic. If there are any issues later, you can just push them onto Gu Yuanzhou.”
After getting a rough understanding of the situation, I headed to the CEO’s office.
However, he was not seeing me right now.
A new face had appeared in the CEO’s office.
A young man. He stopped me as I was about to go in.
“I’m sorry, but President Gu is not seeing anyone at the moment!”
“Who are you?”
“I’m…President Gu’s new assistant!”
I glanced at his name badge, which read “President’s Assistant Ye Fan”.
Surname Ye? Are you related to Ye Mengyan?”
Ye Fan looked aloof. He seemed uninterested in talking to me but finally raised his chin and said, “I’m her cousin!”
I sneered.
Birds of a feather flock together.
“Could you please tell President Gu that he invited me over today!”
“President Gu has already instructed me: you should wait here for a while, and he will see you when he’s free.”
“Fine!”
So, I waited in the waiting area.
I ended up waiting for four hours.
I could tell he was doing this on purpose.
There was nobody in his office!
He was simply sitting in his chair, signing a few documents, drinking tea, making calls, and browsing on his phone.
After a long time, the tax officials finished their audit and came to his office to negotiate.
Half an hour later, all the tax officials left.
Only then did he instruct his assistant to let me in.
He sat in his black leather chair, his sharp eyes staring at me with an ironic look.
Then he put a stack of tax bills in front of me…
“See this? I’ve just paid a hundred million in taxes! Including the late fees and penalties, I spent a total of three hundred million! Zhenyi Company’s annual revenue is gone. Look at you, you’re so capable. In just one day, you’ve cost me so much!”
I took a deep breath,
“Gu Yuanzhou, I didn’t report you!”
“Right, you didn’t. I reported myself!”
His words shocked me.
This man was indeed ruthless enough to cut off his arm to save his life.
But at the same time, I had a bad feeling.
This man was certainly planning something big.
He got up and walked in front of me.
His tall figure, coupled with his all-black suit, created a strong oppressive feeling.
“Why would you do this?”
“Because, I don’t like to leave any weaknesses for others to exploit! So, I’ve detonated this bomb myself! Now, what else can you threaten me with?”
His words left me stunned again.
Seems like I’d really underestimated Gu Yuanzhou before.
Deep down, this man was ruthless, which was probably why my uncle valued him so much.
It took a while for me to regain my composure, speaking indifferently,
“Evading taxes isn’t a good thing to begin with. President Gu, now that you’re repentant and have made amends, you’ve become a good, law-abiding citizen. Well done!”
I then took out the car key from my bag and put it on the desktop.
“This is… the company car key you gave me!”
“Have you really decided to betray me?”
Gu Yuanzhou’s eyes were once again piercing.
He was particularly intimidating when he was imposing.
“The word ‘betrayal’ doesn’t apply to me!”
“You are joining Tianjiao, a company that’s against me! I can sue you for commercial espionage! Do you believe me?”
I originally wanted to deny it, as it was a unilateral announcement by Ding Yinuo.
But I thought better of it.
After all, it was impossible to continue working with Gu Yuanzhou.
Breaking up was inevitable.
Moreover, there was already a clear breakdown in our relations.
I chuckled,
“He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world! President Gu, you’ve failed to win hearts, so it’s not worth me staying!”
“Very well, bear the consequences yourself, don’t regret it later!”
“President Gu, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now!”
“You can go, but there are a few things you must leave behind!”
I turned to look at him.
“What else?”
“The keys to Maple Mansion!”
Only after he asked did I remember. I opened my bag, took out the key ring, removed one of the keys, and put it on the desk.
“Is that everything?”
“President Gu, I don’t think there’s anything else. However, I’d like to remind you that you owe me something.”
“What?”
“My salary!”
“You quit on your own! The fact that I’m not holding you accountable for commercial espionage is already very lenient of me!”
“Since you refuse to pay my salary, I won’t handover my work!”
“You dare!”
“Sorry, but yes, I do dare!”
Gu Yuanzhou stared at me coldly, his hands on his hips.
His eyes were filled with fury.
I didn’t back down, meeting his gaze bravely. After a few seconds, I sneered and then turned to leave.
Although I didn’t look back, I could feel Gu Yuanzhou’s gaze on me, like a chilling blade stabbing into my back.
I recalled the early days when Gu Yuanzhou and I were starting a business together, often brainstorming ways to deal with competitors.
I never expected that now, I would become his competitor.
As I walked out of Zhenyi Company, a blinding sunlight hit my face. When I squinted, it turned out to be a sports car that had stopped in front of me.
The headlights hurt my eyes.
Shortly after, the car door opened and Ye Mengyan emerged. She flashed me a triumphant smile.
“Song Xiaoyun, from this moment on, Gu Yuanzhou is mine and mine alone. You’ve lost.”
“Ye Mengyan! I hope you remember, what you’ve picked up today is just trash! The nicer he is to you today, the more ruthless he’ll be to you in the future!”
“Really? Rest assured, I am not his ex-wife. I won’t repeat her mistakes Well, goodbye, and good luck.”
As Ye Mengyan turned around, I noticed another man.
