105: Reject all

Lei Jun stretched her body in the swimming pool, slightly aware of the minor incident on the shore, but paying it no mind.

The water temperature was perfect and quite comfortable.

She enjoyed the relaxing feeling of the water enveloping her body, feeling that the annoyance from practicing calligraphy and the fatigue from thinking about her tasks in recent days had been washed away considerably.

Taking an occasional swim was indeed nice... After swimming, she returned home around four in the afternoon.

Lei Jun changed into comfortable loungewear, and just as she sat on the sofa, she remembered that the match between IG and T1 was being broadcast live today.

She quickly turned on the livestream.

Initially, IG and T1 were evenly matched, and she watched intently, cheering for IG's brilliant plays from time to time.

But in the late game, IG's players seemed to suddenly decline in form, making consecutive mistakes, and the team fights were a complete mess.

Finally, as T1 destroyed IG's Nexus, and the score “T1 3-1 IG” appeared on the screen, Lei Jun immediately became displeased.

How could they lose?

That's so frustrating!

A surge of inexplicable anger rose in her heart, making her feel particularly irritable.

Lei Jun irritably scratched her hair.

She needed to find something else to distract herself.

She suddenly remembered asking Lei Jun to investigate Wang Dongsheng yesterday.

It had been almost a whole day, yet there was no news at all?

Lei Jun immediately picked up her phone and called Lei Jun, the Chairman of Xiaomi Corporation.

The moment the call connected, she asked directly.

“Chairman Lei, how is the investigation regarding Wang Dongsheng progressing?”

Lei Jun's heart sank.

He stammered.

“Director Lei... Director Lei, regarding Director Wang's matter... we, we have conducted a simple internal verification, and temporarily... temporarily haven't found any clear issues...”

When Lei Jun heard the words “haven't found any clear issues,” the fire in her heart instantly flared up.

“Chairman Lei, since the investigation results are out, why didn't you proactively report to me? If I hadn't asked, were you planning to pretend this never happened?”

Cold sweat instantly broke out on Lei Jun's forehead.

He could hear the dissatisfaction in Lei Jun's tone and quickly defended himself.

“That's not it, Director Lei!”

“You misunderstood!”

“I... I was just about to report to you, it's just... I haven't had the chance yet... I absolutely had no intention of concealing anything!”

This was a complete fabrication; he had been avoiding her since the meeting this morning and had no intention of proactively contacting Lei Jun.

Listening to his weak defense, Lei Jun became even more displeased.

Preparing to report?

Who are you kidding?

She couldn't be bothered to listen to him beat around the bush any longer and exposed him directly.

“Not notifying me is one thing, but were you planning to collude and help Wang Dongsheng conceal this?”

Lei Jun's heart plummeted, and he quickly denied it: “No, no, Director Lei, you really misunderstood!”

“We really did check the accounts carefully and found no issues. Perhaps... perhaps Miss Lei Cai's analysis was flawed?”

Lei Jun completely lost her patience.

You won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!

She let out a cold snort, immediately hung up the phone, and quickly used her computer to send the investigation report—which Lei Cai had compiled with a complete chain of evidence—to Lei Jun's email... On the other side, Lei Jun received the email and started viewing it.

The more he read, the more alarmed he became.

This... this evidence is too detailed!

Every piece was clearly organized and irrefutable!

Wang Dongsheng's trajectory over the past three years—transferring assets through inflated project costs and related-party transactions—was completely laid out, including even records of private transfers to his relatives.

Lei Jun's pupils suddenly constricted, and his mind went blank.

How is this possible?

He, the Chairman, didn't even know these details, yet Lei Cai managed to investigate them thoroughly in just one day?

Seeing the solid evidence, he was consumed by rage.

That bastard Wang Dongsheng!

He hadn't expected this guy, who looked honest on the surface, to be full of malice.

During the meeting, he even pretended to be pitiful... Lei Jun felt like a fool who had been played.

This guy secretly embezzled over six hundred million!

He was shaking with anger.

That ingrate Wang Dongsheng!

I trusted you so much, and you went behind my back to do this!

After cursing, a strong sense of dread washed over him.

He suddenly realized how outrageously wrong he had been that morning.

Not only had he wrongly accused Lei Jun, but he had also allowed Wang Dongsheng to question her, and even secretly intended to keep her in check.

Who exactly is Lei Jun?

Someone who could silently acquire nearly 30% of Xiaomi's shares and have people from Bureau 749 act as Bodyguards must have either a national background or belong to a Top-tier Aristocratic Family!

He was foolish enough to offend such a person—it was practically suicide!

The more he thought about it, the more terrified he became, and cold sweat streamed down his cheeks.

Lei Jun was a member of the Four Great Families; given the methods of those families, both he and Dami Group would likely be doomed forever.

The Four Great Families always dealt with unruly enterprises silently.

He even started imagining the worst outcome: Dami Group's stock plummeting due to this scandal, him being kicked out of the company, or even being investigated for complicity... No!

He must apologize immediately!

He must beg for Lei Jun's forgiveness!

He frantically dialed Lei Jun's number back.

However, after ringing a few times, the call was ruthlessly hung up.

Lei Jun held the buzzing phone, his heart instantly sinking to the bottom.

Director Lei isn't answering... This means she is still angry.

He became even more panicked and dialed several more times, but each time the result was the same: the call was rejected.

He slumped onto the chair, his mind a mess.

What should he do?

If Lei Jun wouldn't answer the phone, he wouldn't even have a chance to apologize.

No, he had to do something!

First, deal with Wang Dongsheng, then figure out a way to beg Lei Jun for forgiveness!

Lei Jun suddenly stood up and called the Board Members.

“Return to the company immediately for a meeting! There's an emergency, and no one is allowed to be absent!”

During the meeting, holding the evidence sent by Lei Jun, he furiously berated Wang Dongsheng, immediately announcing his suspension and transfer to judicial authorities.

Lei Jun cursed while feeling a profound sense of dread.

It was all this idiot's fault!

He made him offend Director Lei!

When the other Board Members saw Lei Jun's fear, they, too, became terrified.

It was all Wang Dongsheng's fault!

Thinking of Lei Jun's terrifying identity, if Director Lei knew they had been speaking ill of her behind her back... would Director Lei take her anger out on them?

With her background, dealing with them would be effortless, wouldn't it?

Some were dripping cold sweat, and some were even slumped in their chairs.

“We're finished...” they said, their voices trembling.

“President Lei... President Lei, how... how should we apologize to Director Lei?”

Lei Jun looked at the panicked crowd, feeling like he wanted to cry but had no tears.

“I... I don't know either!”

“Director Lei... she won't even answer my calls!”

The other Board Members became even more frantic.

They all pulled out their phones and took turns calling Lei Jun.

Lei Jun looked at the stream of unfamiliar incoming calls, growing even more annoyed.

Are they never going to stop?

She rejected them all.

Seeing that all their calls were rejected, the other Board Members fell into despair.

“Director Lei really won't forgive us...”

The meeting ended hastily in an atmosphere of panic.

After the meeting adjourned, Lei Jun was like an ant on a hot pan.

Starting at 8:30 PM, he kept calling Lei Jun, over and over again, for a full two hours.
