Chapter 11: Yang Chen, You Ruined Me

Under normal circumstances, heavy rewards will attract brave men.But that also depends on how much the reward is.

Just 50,000 bucks trying to entice everyone to offend a rich kid who just spent 2 billion in cash to buy the Haisang Financial Mansion?

Isn’t this a joke?

Seeing no one moved, Zhang Jingyan immediately said, "100,000! As long as you snatch the phone from his hand, I’ll immediately reward you with 100,000 cash! In addition, your salary will double, and others’ salaries will increase by 50% as well!"

The employees still weren’t moved.

Everyone wasn’t stupid, not even 100,000, even if it was 100 million, you still have to live to spend it.

Yang Chen can buy a 2 billion mansion in cash, there’s no way to estimate how deep his pockets are.

Can you afford to offend someone like that?

Besides, everyone knows Zhang Jingyan’s character, he’s someone who breaks promises and burns bridges.

Now even if he promises 100 million, once this is over he’d still deny he ever said such things just like he does with Yang Chen.

Yang Chen taunted, "Zhang Jingyan, do you think your word has any credibility left? I take legitimate orders, and you don’t even give me the commission deserved, can you fulfill such commitments? You think everyone is a fool?"

Zhang Jingyan was almost driven to tears, quickly saying, "Everyone believe me, I will really pay you! As long as you snatch his phone now, I’ll transfer the money to you immediately? If that doesn’t work, I’ll have the finance bring cash, finance, bring the salary money over, and count 100,000 to put on the table!"

The finance hurried to comply, running back to open the safe and took out 100,000 to place on the table.

Are these funds tempting to the employees?

Of course they are!

100,000 bucks!

Lots of employees have to work two years to earn that much.

Now you can get that money just by snatching Yang Chen’s phone, how could it not be tempting?

But despite the temptation, everyone still kept their rationality.

There’s an old saying, earning money also requires staying alive to spend it.

Chen Zhichao couldn’t stand it anymore, immediately called the office, asking all office staff and all security personnel in the mansion to come over immediately.

Just now, someone was moved, but now no one dared to have any illusions.

Soon, all the security and all the management staff in the mansion rushed over hastily.

Other office folks hurried out to watch the commotion.

"What’s going on? Such a big scene!"

"No idea! The whole management and all security are here. Has Jingyan offended someone?"

"Such a scene, afraid it’s something about lease renewal not being settled, management might teach Zhang Jingyan a lesson."

"This is too domineering. If agreed, renew; if not agreed, don’t renew. Forcing others to rent?"

"Should we call the police?"

"Call the police! Soon we’ll also have to renew our lease. If we don’t give the management some color to see, they’ll surely deal with us the same way."

"Makes sense, makes sense! Call the police, quickly call the police!"

...

Seeing so many security guards armed and breaking in, everyone in Jingyan Company got honest.

Just now someone had a fantasy about the 100,000, but now no one dared have any improper thoughts.

Chen Zhichao said smugly, "Let me see who dares to grab President Yang’s phone. Come, snatch one for me to see."

Why are many neighborhood properties so arrogant, even daring to hit homeowners?

Just look at Chen Zhichao’s performance, having a dozen security guards under him gives that confidence.

Zhang Jingyan was speechless.

Soft won’t work, hard won’t do, could it be the only option is to wait for punishment?

Yang Chen stretched and said, "Manager Chen, I’ll leave this to you."

Chen Zhichao quickly nodded and said, "President Yang, rest assured, as always, I’ll handle this beautifully, otherwise you can penalize me as you please, I absolutely have no complaint."

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, taking out the phone and swinging it in front of Zhang Jingyan, saying, "Zhang Jingyan, still want to snatch my phone? If you don’t act, I’m leaving now. I’m really leaving."

Zhang Jingyan didn’t dare utter a word.

Yang Chen put away his smile, glared at Zhang Jingyan, and turned to leave.

Now, no one dared stop him.

Yang Chen just stepped out the door, and some police arrived.

Looks like today they will settle the matter thoroughly.

Since the police are here, Yang Chen didn’t leave and proceeded to settle accounts with Zhang Jingyan completely.

The police came in to understand the situation and requested to listen to the recording.

Yang Chen nodded, playing the recording aloud for everyone.

After listening to the recording, the police officer reprimanded Zhang Jingyan.

As a boss, you can’t behave this way, when you need employees to grab orders you promise big, success achieved and then deny or burn bridges, this is not only a problem with character but also illegal conduct.

Deducting employees’ salaries is expressly forbidden by labor law.

Zhang Jingyan dared not act arrogant before the police, quickly handing over the promised 200,000 commission and 5,000 salary to Yang Chen.

Is this the end?

Certainly not!

A thief returns what he stole and just walks free, is that reasonable?

Clearly not!

He will have to bear the consequences for his actions!

Yang Chen said to his former coworkers, "Everyone, undoubtedly Zhang Jingyan can’t continue anymore. While I’m settling scores with him today and with the police here, don’t hesitate to take what you deserve. Unless you’re waiting for him to go bankrupt and get nothing?"

This statement was very inciting.

With the recording as evidence, and Yang Chen being a mysterious rich kid, along with the police presence, the employees no longer dared to hide anything, standing up to expose various illegal behaviors of Zhang Jingyan.

"I was docked a perfect attendance and performance bonus for being one minute late, even 500 bucks taken off my basic salary. Isn’t this illegal?"

"Last time I took a client to dinner; Zhang Jingyan said wherever the client wants to eat we go, and the company would reimburse all expenses. The client chose a western restaurant costing over 10,000, Zhang Jingyan refused to reimburse and let me bear it myself."

"Zhang Jingyan frequently forces us to work overtime without overtime pay, not even covering dinner. Day after, whoever didn’t work overtime will be fined for stepping into the office with the left foot first."

...

These accumulated issues were already very serious.

However, compared to financial complaints, these were nothing.

The finance officer reported Zhang Jingyan often signed dual contracts, committed tax evasion, even set up a shell company to falsely issue VAT invoices.

Tax evasion is a serious offense, but compared to falsely issuing VAT invoices, it’s nothing.

According to law, falsely issuing VAT invoices for more than three years can result in the maximum penalty of death.

If the finance can provide evidence proving Zhang Jingyan established a shell company to falsely issue VAT invoices, he may spend the rest of his life in prison.

Zhang Jingyan’s face turned pale as ashes, his legs buckled and he collapsed.

He never imagined just taking Yang Chen’s commission would end with his company going bankrupt and he himself heading to jail.

Li Yuan, who usually kept close to Zhang Jingyan, knew some of Zhang Jingyan’s shady affairs.

As the saying goes, when the wall collapses, everyone pushes, Li Yuan also stepped forward at this time.

"Officer, I want to report Zhang Jingyan often finds excuses to dock my wages. Also, he keeps mistresses outside, transfers assets through them, evades taxes." Li Yuan said.

Zhang Jingyan was instantly furious, pointing at Li Yuan, cursing, "Li Yuan, you dog, how dare you hit me when I’m down, you’re not human!"

Li Yuan immediately raised his fist, saying, "I stand against evil! I’ve long been fed up with you, just didn’t dare resist due to being under your hands. Now that Yang Chen, oh no, President Yang bravely leads everyone in reporting you, I must stand against evil to the end!"

Fueled by rage, Zhang Jingyan couldn’t utter a word, sweat pouring off him.

With so many witnesses, Zhang Jingyan’s affairs surely require thorough investigation.

The police officer immediately took Zhang Jingyan away.

Others in the office signed their statements.

Yang Chen handed a copy of the recording to the police for their records.

Subsequently, the police officer escorted Zhang Jingyan away.

And due to the seriousness of Zhang Jingyan’s alleged crimes, the company has to cease operations and wait for further decisions after investigations.

Everyone gathered their personal belongings and exited, then police sealed the doors.

"What’s going on? Zhang Jingyan committed an offense?"

"Looks like the company must be shut down too."

"Wow, what happened, is it that serious?"

"Damn! Did we doom him by reporting?"

"Can’t blame us, can we? If he hadn’t offended, reporting wouldn’t bring harm."

"That’s true."

...

Seeing his company, painstakingly built over twenty years, being sealed off, Zhang Jingyan was heartbroken.

He turned and roared at Yang Chen, "Yang Chen, you ruined me!"

Yang Chen sneered, "It’s you who ruined yourself, don’t blame anyone else! I just let you know justice exists in this world, it’s not that you being a boss allows rampant misdeeds! Understand?"
