Zhao Dong saw Sophie's dilemma and knew the importance of this negotiation to her. Otherwise, she, who has always been strong, would not be so hesitant.
Although he couldn't help Sophie, he didn't want to hold her back at this time.
After thinking for a while, he said, "It's okay. Since we have work to discuss, go to work quickly."
Sophie breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhao Dong with a slightly grateful look, "Then you..."
"Don't worry about me. Just clean up. I have to go to work."
Seeing the exchange between the two, Xu Huayang was almost crazy with jealousy. He hurriedly interrupted: "Xiao Fei, the representative of Dafeng Group will be passing by soon. Let's leave quickly. It's best to discuss the details in the car in advance.
.”
Sophie nodded and said before going out, "I'm going home to eat tonight."
Zhao Dong knew that Sophie was trying to reassure him, so he agreed, "Okay, I'll cook!"
He sent the group of people out of the door and saw Sophie getting into Xu Huayang's car.
It can be seen that Xu Huayang came back to Tianzhou well prepared this time. He drove a silver-gray Bentley with a driver. It was full of style. Even if he was facing off against Wei Dongming, he was not at a disadvantage.
Xu Huayang gentlemanly invited Aunt Mei to the passenger seat, and he and Sophie sat side by side in the back seat. The guy couldn't hide his pride, and even cast a provocative look when he got in the car.
Zhao Dong laughed. It seemed that Xu Huayang was really a sanctimonious hypocrite, but it was difficult to say anything to Sophie.
Seeing the group of people leaving, he packed up and followed them out the door.
…
Xu San and Xiao Wu had arrived early. When they saw Zhao Dong, they all said hello.
Xu San couldn't help it and was the first to start gossiping.
Zhao Dong was too lazy to deal with it and said hello to Xiao Wu, "Tomorrow morning, I will go to the ninth branch to report. Please prepare."
Xiao Wu was startled, "So fast?"
"It's a blessing, not a curse. We can't avoid it. The reason why we were able to escape safely yesterday was because Director Tang of the Ninth Division came forward. If we can do this well, it will be of great benefit to you."
"Brother Dong, don't worry, I won't embarrass you!"
Zhao Dong patted his shoulder and suddenly said: "By the way, help me check some information."
"Brother Dong, what do you want to check?"
"I want to check TM Finance. The best thing to do is help me find out if there is any information about Xu Huayang!"
The Little Five Luck was flying, and after a while, an article appeared on the computer.
Zhao Dong took a brief look and quickly got an idea.
This company is a relatively old foreign investment company, backed by a well-known family.
However, TM Finance is just a medium-sized investment group under their umbrella, with a market value of 50 billion.
On the homepage of tm Finance, there is a brief introduction to Xu Huayang's resume. From joining tm Finance to being the person in charge of Greater China, it only took this guy just one year.
When he first joined TM, he was just a small intern in the company.
Zhao Dong does not doubt Xu Huayang's ability and talent, otherwise he would not be favored by Sophie. But from an intern to a professional manager with an annual salary of more than one million, is this change too fast?
"Brother Dong, do you want me to continue checking?"
"never mind."
Zhao Dong shook his head. He believed that with Sophie's shrewdness, if there was really a problem with Xu Huayang's background, it would not be his turn as a layman to remind him, so he would not worry blindly. The top priority right now is to deal with Fatty Sun!
Xu Huayang's excellence gave him a sense of crisis.
"How is the Finance Department doing? Do you have any clues?"
"Except for what I checked last time, I haven't posted anything else yet, but I found something interesting. You can take a look."
Zhao Dong turned around and took a look. It turned out to be the accounting list for the first phase of the Imperial Garden. Various invoices, various expenses, and details of various transactions and entertainments were all listed one by one.
The amount is not small, almost hundreds of thousands per month.
Zhao Dong wouldn't believe it to death if there was nothing fishy here, but Fatty Sun had done a very good job with the accounts, and all the expenses were well documented.
Zhao Dong only looked at it for a while, and his eyes felt a little dizzy. All the money was piled up in a mess, and his head exploded at first glance.
However, Xiao Wu marked several places with red lines. Even though he didn't understand accounts, he quickly saw the problem.
Although the first phase of Imperial Garden has a lot of monthly reimbursements, one expense is indeed fixed and the amount remains unchanged.
That would be fine if it were just that, but this amount would be hidden under various names every time it was reported. This month it was entertainment expenses, last month it was travel expenses, and last month it became maintenance expenses.
You wouldn't have noticed it if you didn't look carefully!
Zhao Dong also felt that this account was a bit strange, "Xiao Wu, what do you mean?"
Xiao Wu scratched his head, "Brother Dong, I just think it's a little strange. If you want to figure it out, it's best to go to the Finance Department and get the invoice for the reimbursement!"
"Okay, you don't have to worry about it, just leave this matter to me!"
Zhao Dong already had an idea in mind. It was not easy to get these financial invoices. He thought of someone who might be able to help.
Thinking about this, he hurriedly took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Kong Yue, "Do you have time at noon? I would like to treat you to dinner?"
The other end of the phone responded quickly, "I have time, what would you like to eat?"
"Whatever, you choose the place. By the way, call your friend too."
"Are you talking about Liu Ran? Humph, why did you suddenly think of inviting me to dinner? Feelings are like a drunkard's, not the wine, right?"
Without waiting for Zhao Dong's reply, she asked one after another: "Have you fallen in love with our beautiful lady Liu? Let me tell you, Liu Ran already has a boyfriend. You must not have any ideas about my sister!"
Zhao Dong was a little dumbfounded. Where is this going?
He hurriedly explained, "No, no, it's true that I'm inviting you to dinner. I want to ask her about something by the way."
Kong Yue was doubtful, "Really?"
Zhao Dong was surprised, why is this girl so sensitive today?
He was still busy replying: "Why did I lie to you?"
"Okay, then just wait and I'll go ask for you."
Soon, she replied, "If I can't call her, will this meal be forfeit?"
"How can you do that? Treat your sister to a meal. What's the point?"
"Waiting..."
There was no movement after that, until it was almost lunch break when Kong Yue's message finally came through.
"I have already made an appointment for you. Miss Liu said she has time, but she needs to add one more person!"
"Who?"
Zhao Dong was a little worried. The matter to be discussed this time was relatively confidential, and he was really worried about the presence of outsiders.
Kong Yue gave up and said, "Keep it secret, you will know when the time comes!"
