Chapter 11: Chapter 11 The Moon is Too CunningSeeing such a group of people come in, the few in the planning department were a bit stunned. Especially Yan Jun, who had an ominous feeling in his heart. He didn’t know how much of Chen Feng’s "nonsense" these people had heard, but if they had heard everything, that would certainly not be good for him. However, after a brief moment of astonishment, Chen Feng couldn’t help but laugh. What luck! He had originally thought to make a big deal out of this matter, to take revenge and make sure Yan Jun couldn’t continue in the company. And now, his wish had come true. These people in front of him were all from the company’s senior management, including a general manager, two deputy managers, as well as the finance department manager, the HR department manager, and the managers of several other departments. Chen Feng, of course, recognized them all, since he was considered an old employee of the company. As for the woman they were surrounding, Chen Feng had no impression of her. But it didn’t take a genius to figure out that with so many high-level executives around her, she must be someone even more important. "If you two have personal grievances, please settle them outside and don’t cause a scene in the company, we won’t care if you fight to death outside. Now, both of you go back immediately and write a 3,000-word self-criticism. You will read it at the company meeting tomorrow. Additionally, your bonuses for the next three months will be deducted." Mr. Cao, the company’s general manager, was the first to speak. He frowned, his gaze sternly fixed on Chen Feng for a while before turning to give Yan Jun, who was bloodied and disheveled, a disapproving look. Yan Jun quickly bowed and nodded, admitting his fault repeatedly, "Leader, I’m sorry, it’s all our fault, we will definitely reflect on this seriously. I will go write the self-criticism now." Yan Jun’s apology was earnest, and he tried to slip away. His image was in tatters, and after Chen Feng had just exposed his scheme of embezzlement within the company, it was certainly not suitable for him to stay any longer. "Wait!" The imposing woman spoke up again to stop him. Yan Jun could only put on a smile and bow obsequiously, asking, "Leader, do you have any further instructions?" "Just now your colleague said you were colluding with outsiders and accepting bribes, is that true?" The woman’s expression was strict, her gaze icy as she stared at him. Yan Jun was greatly shaken and immediately countered loudly, "Of course not. He’s slandering me and trying to dirty my name. He has a personal vendetta against me and is framing me." The woman turned to Chen Feng, asking coldly, "Do you have evidence for your accusations against him?" Chen Feng didn’t immediately answer her question but instead asked, "Who are you? A shareholder of our company?" Before the woman could respond, Mr. Cao introduced her with a serious tone, "This is Chairman Liu, our new boss. She was a shareholder of our company before, and now she has fully acquired our company. Let’s welcome her." After Mr. Cao finished speaking, he led the applause. Everyone else, including Chen Feng, of course, followed suit with applause. Chairman Liu, however, remained cool and simply nodded slightly to everyone before bringing the topic back, looking at Chen Feng, "Now, answer my question." Chen Feng gave her a slight smile and nodded, saying, "Of course. If you want to see it now, I can show you. Just not sure if you’ll call the police?" With that remark from Chen Feng, several faces in the room changed color. The one who reacted the most was naturally Yan Jun, who began to tremble. He had colluded both internally and externally these past years and made off with quite a lot; if his actions were uncovered, he couldn’t escape a few years in prison. If that were to happen, his family and his entire life would be ruined. He just couldn’t figure out how Chen Feng could possibly have evidence of his embezzlement. Could there be deceit? He needed to stay calm! He needed to stay calm! Yan Jun managed to steady his mind and said with a face full of sorrow and anger, "Chairman Liu, I’m really being framed. Whatever evidence he has, it must be fake. He is intentionally trying to slander me." Chen Feng, on the other hand, was very calm and said, "Whether it’s a frame-up or not, we’ll know after we’ve checked and verified. Boss, what do you say?" Chairman Liu nodded slightly and said, "Let’s take a look then. If he has indeed broken the law, I will definitely report it to the police and follow legal procedures." Yan Jun felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His head was ringing, and he didn’t know how to react at that moment. It was then that Mr. Cao slowly spoke up, "Chairman Liu, I think we can settle this matter internally. After all, it’s better to keep family shame within the family, isn’t it?" Chen Feng laughed and said, "Mr. Cao, why do your words sound like you’re already sure Yan Jun is guilty?" Everyone was taken aback by these words, and they suddenly realized the implication. Indeed, what does it mean by ’keeping family shame within the family’ when we haven’t even investigated yet? Are you admitting it’s a shameful matter? Or perhaps you’ve known about Yan Jun’s issues all along? Mr. Cao’s dark face suddenly flushed with anger, and he glared at Chen Feng, scolding, "Impudent! Do you think it’s your place to talk here? Go back and write a self-criticism of ten thousand words. If it’s not well-written, or if your apology is insincere, you can forget about your bonus for the year." "Mr. Cao, aren’t you being a bit too tyrannical? It’s true you’re the general manager, but you can’t just silence people, right? And at the end of the day, you’re an employee too. This company belongs to Boss Liu." Chen Feng’s words were not wrong, but his tone was rather arrogant. How could an ordinary company employee speak to the general manager like that? The reason why Chen Feng was so disrespectful to Mr. Cao was that he had been the arch-enemy of Chen Feng’s former boss. Originally the deputy general manager, Mr. Cao took over the position once Chen Feng’s former boss fell seriously ill and stepped down. Since then, he had been retaliating against Chen Feng. Chen Feng had been sidelined at the company for the past two years, frustrated and unable to achieve his ambitions, and Mr. Cao was the culprit behind it all. Mr. Cao was about to explode with rage when Chairman Liu raised his hand and interjected, "Enough, Old Cao. I will decide how to handle this matter, so you don’t need to interfere. Chen Feng, right. Now, take me to see the evidence you mentioned. If it’s true, you will be handsomely rewarded. If it’s false, you don’t need to work here anymore." Chen Feng couldn’t help but smile again when he heard this. Although there were only three or four months left in his five-year contract, he was actually quite willing to be ’fired’ ahead of time. Mr. Cao and Yan Jun were both aware of Chen Feng’s situation. Hearing Chairman Liu’s words, they both had strange expressions on their faces and moved their mouths as if to speak, but ultimately remained silent. It would be too troublesome to explain this matter, and they had both played ignoble roles in it. "Alright. I’ll boot up my computer." Chen Feng headed to the farthest cubicle, turned on his work computer, navigated through some operations, logged into a cloud drive, downloaded an encrypted compressed file, then decrypted and uncompressed it to open. "This document contains some of the evidence of Yan Jun’s public-private profiteering, inside-out theft, and collaboration in accepting bribes over the past two years. It lists some projects organized by our planning department. For instance, a recent project was in charge of planning the anniversary celebration event for Dingsheng Real Estate Company. Initially, the sales department negotiated a deal for 3.5 million, but after the planning department got involved, the other party kept pushing for a lower price, and it ended up as 3 million. The same plan, but suddenly the deal was 500,000 less. Of that sum, Yan Jun pocketed at least 100,000..." "Chen Feng! You’re just spouting slander, you call this evidence?" Finally regaining his senses, Yan Jun hurriedly interrupted Chen Feng, staring at him with red eyes, looking as if he wanted to devour him. Because what Chen Feng was saying was all true. Chen Feng had secretly collected a lot of dirt on him, which was incredibly devious. Yan Jun had listened with alarm, and had almost impulsively rushed forward to smash Chen Feng’s computer. Ignoring Yan Jun’s impotent rage, Chen Feng clicked to open a photo and introduced to Chairman Liu who was beside him, "This is a receipt issued by the finance department of Dingsheng Real Estate, stamped with their company seal, which reads ’Dianchuang Culture Company public relations expenditure of 128,000’, with the date below as September 26. That was during the period our Dianchuang was responsible for their anniversary event, three days after the 3 million contract was signed. Although the receipt doesn’t specify names, at that time, the planning department handled this project. Yan Jun, tell me, am I wronging you?" With Chen Feng’s words, everyone’s gaze simultaneously turned to the extremely pale Yan Jun.
