478: Chapter 478 Interview

Kyoto, Council Building.

Interview Room.

"Chairman Niu, in the past week, there have been 32 reports from across the country regarding the Chamber of Commerce engaging in power-for-money and power-for-sex transactions. What are your thoughts on this?" a Supervisory Department investigator, seated in the center, asked.

"Nonsense," Niu Xingwang replied.

"Chairman Niu, I hope you can adjust your attitude and cooperate with our work," the investigator said sternly.

"I am cooperating with your work, but I have the right to express my opinion on some baseless matters," Niu Xingwang said calmly.

"Alright, let me ask you, do you know Qi Jingshan?" The investigator was somewhat displeased.

"I don't know him," Niu Xingwang shook his head.

"Qi Jingshan is the head of the Huangyashan Base branch. How could you not know him?" the investigator questioned.

"Huatong Construction has established no less than 300 underground bases, right? Each base has a person in charge, so it's very reasonable that I don't know him," Niu Xingwang laughed.

"Huangyashan is the main base in Qingzhou, one of the first cooperative Settlements, and one of the earlier Settlements to establish an underground base. I think it's impossible for you not to know him," the investigator said.

"Comrade, I'd like to remind you that conjecture is not factual evidence," Niu Xingwang looked at him and said calmly.

"Alright then, Qi Jingshan is an employee of your Chamber of Commerce. That much is a fact, isn't it?" The investigator asked, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart.

"That's right!" Niu Xingwang nodded.

"On November 2nd, at 11 PM, he forcibly had sexual relations with two women. That's also a fact, isn't it?" the investigator said.

"I'm sorry, I'm not sure if that's a fact," Niu Xingwang denied.

"That night, several witnesses saw Chamber of Commerce employees forcibly bring two women into Qi Jingshan's residence. Coupled with the victims' testimonies, and the fact that Qi Jingshan's semen was indeed collected from their bodies. With both human and material evidence, do you think you can deny it?" The investigator's voice had risen considerably, and his tone was not without a hint of reprimand.

"Comrade, since Qi Jingshan's matter has been thoroughly investigated and a punishment decision has been made, I think this matter is closed. I don't understand the purpose of you bringing this up now. Furthermore, even if Qi Jingshan is an employee of my Chamber of Commerce, he is still just an employee. He has full, independent civil capacity, and his personal life issues are not within the Chamber of Commerce's scope of management. Even if he truly has problems, they are his personal problems. What do they have to do with the Chamber of Commerce? And what do they have to do with me?" Niu Xingwang retorted.

Slap~

The investigator finally lost control of his emotions and slapped the table hard.

The two assistants and the transcriber sitting on either side were startled simultaneously.

"Niu Xingwang, you're too arrogant! Where did Qi Jingshan get the nerve to act so recklessly? Wasn't it given by your Huatong Chamber of Commerce? As a senior manager of the Chamber of Commerce, to openly commit such inhumane and insane acts, don't you, as the head of the Chamber of Commerce, have a responsibility for oversight?" The investigator stood there, pointing at Niu Xingwang and questioning him loudly.

"You're clearly just twisting words. I don't have X-ray vision, and it's not written on every employee's head who is good and who is bad. A company's hiring standard assesses whether a person's comprehensive business level is competent for the job. As long as the ability is there, then naturally they can be used."

"Indeed, as a Chamber of Commerce employee, Qi Jingshan's actions represent the image of the Chamber of Commerce, so after the incident, we also responded immediately and imposed punishment as required by the Huangyashan Command HQ. That's enough, isn't it? Is there any problem with that?" Niu Xingwang asked, spreading his hands.

"Of course there's a problem. The biggest problem is that your way of handling things is passive and negative! You haven't deeply recognized the importance of strengthening employees' ideological and moral development! You haven't deeply recognized the importance of nipping problems in the bud!" the investigator said.

"Why didn't you just say that earlier! You mean you want me to establish a supervisory group within the Chamber of Commerce to strengthen supervision and management of employees, right? No problem, I'll do it when I get back, is that okay?" Niu Xingwang asked.

"It's not for you to build; it's for us to build. Later, someone from the Supervisory Department will connect with you, and I hope you can cooperate," the investigator said coldly, sitting back down, his anger not fully vented.

"You mean you're sending people?" Niu Xingwang asked, as if to confirm.

"Yes!" the investigator replied.

Niu Xingwang nodded thoughtfully.

He understood what Oriental Chen meant by 'retreating to advance'.

From the investigator's attitude, it was clear that there were definitely more things to come, and a lot of them.

Behind these matters, there might be one or even multiple instigators.

It seems that the trouble with the Chamber of Commerce isn't meant to kill it off in one blow, but rather to infiltrate and place more people.

If he were to truly enter the game and play this chess match with them, who knows how much effort it would take.

And even if he won, he wouldn't gain anything; it would be a thankless task.

It's better to listen to Oriental Chen and not get involved.
