Chapter 7: Mystery at every turn
The people in the conference room were all startled, and Zhu Cong was even more surprised, looking at Li Ji like a monster.
"Really? Are you sure? Li Ji couldn't help but spill the tea, and his voice changed.
"That's it, I'll call someone to verify it again," Zhu Cong stood up, pushed open the door, walked out, and turned back, "Mr. Li, don't worry, maybe I'm mistaken." ”
Li Ji's heart moved, and he saw some hope. Then he thought about it again, but he sighed and sat back in his chair. Xiao Zhu and Xiao Zhang glanced at each other, and then looked at Li Ji together, but neither of them spoke.
Ten minutes later, Zhu Cong returned, followed by a middle-aged woman in professional clothes.
"This is the general manager of our financing department, and the data and statements of the group's financing are all with her." Zhu Cong pointed at the woman.
Mr. Ji spread a statistical report on the table, looked at it twice, and said to Li Ji: "Mr. Li, from last year to the first half of this year, all the statistics of Marriott Group's bank loans are here. I've seen it, and I don't have the one you said. ”
Li Ji stood up, walked over and picked up the report, read it several times from beginning to end, and his heart was completely cold: sure enough, there was no working capital loan of 100 million amounts.
Li Ji looked at Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhang also became nervous, took out a stack of papers from his bag, and stammered, "How could it not be?" Loan vouchers and transfer records are all here! ”
Transfer History! Li Ji's mind suddenly lit up, and he said to Xiao Zhu and Xiao Zhang: "Let's go, go to the finance department and have a look!" ”
The finance department is on the 16th floor. Leaving the financing department, Li Ji didn't even take the elevator, took Xiao Zhang and Xiao Zhu, and walked down the stairs.
The huge finance department is quiet inside. People are walking back and forth all the time, all lightly, and they can hardly hear any sound.
Li Ji entered the finance department and directly found Zhou Xiaoxue, the accounting supervisor.
Zhou Xiaoxue is the child of a distant relative in Li Ji's hometown, and after graduating from the finance school, he was assigned to work in an agricultural machinery factory. After just two years on the job, the agricultural machinery factory went bankrupt due to poor management, and Zhou Xiaoxue lost her job.
Later, Zhou Xiaoxue's father found Li Ji's mother and asked Li Ji to help find a job for Zhou Xiaoxue. At that time, Marriott Group was recruiting accountants, Li Ji said hello to Wan Cheng, and Zhou Xiaoxue went to work in the finance department of Marriott Group.
Zhou Xiaoxue saw Li Ji with a look of surprise: "Brother Ji, why are you here?" I haven't seen each other in a few days. As he spoke, he let the three of them into the office and busied themselves making tea.
"Xiaoxue, don't be busy yet," Li Ji turned around and closed the door, "I have something to ask you to help with." ”
"Brother Ji?" Zhou Xiaoxue couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when she saw Li Ji's serious face, holding the tea bucket in her hand, and stood in place.
"Xiaoxue, you sit down first and listen to me." Li Ji dragged a chair forward and sat opposite Zhou Xiaoxue.
"Yes, Brother Ji." Zhou Xiaoxue put down the tea bucket, sat down, and looked at Li Ji with a nervous expression.
"Xiaoxue, don't be nervous," Li Ji smiled, "I just want to ask you about something." ”
"Oh," Zhou Xiaoxue breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back on the back of the chair, "Brother Ji, you say, what's the matter?" ”
"Manager Zhang, give me the transfer voucher." Li Ji took the copy of the voucher in Xiao Zhang's hand and handed it to Zhou Xiaoxue.
"Xiaoxue, you help me check, are there any of these transfers?" Li Ji pointed to the voucher and said.
"yes, okay." Zhou Xiaoxue took the voucher and looked at it one by one. After reading the last one, Zhou Xiaoxue nodded: "There should be, I remember that I checked these accounts." ”
"That's good, that's good." Li Ji's body softened on the chair all of a sudden, and his heart fell to the ground like a big stone.
"Brother Ji, you wait here for a while. I'll ask the accountant to check it again and print out a copy. Zhou Xiaoxue took the voucher and walked out of the room.
About half an hour later, Zhou Xiaoxue walked in with a few pieces of paper in her hand and a happy face.
"Brother Ji, here you are," Zhou Xiaoxue handed the paper to Li Ji, "That's right, these businesses are available." ”
Li Ji took it and took a look, and on the printed account page, several places were marked with a red pen.
The working capital loan of 100 million yuan issued by CCB was transferred to an account of "Shin Shin New Materials Company" in the Rural Credit Cooperative, after entering the loan account opened by Marriott Group in the business department of the Municipal Bank.
Shin Shin New Materials Company? Li Ji remembered that it was this company that provided the land mortgage guarantee for the loan.
"Isn't it a Marriott loan? Why did it all transfer to Shin Shin Company? Li Ji had questions and hurriedly asked Xiao Zhang.
"Assistant Xiao of Marriott Group said that it was the group that paid Shin Shin for the materials." Xiao Zhang replied.
"Assistant Xiao?" Li Ji was stunned, "Is it the girl in Wan Dong's office?" ”
"Yes, that's her."
"This business is handled by Assistant Xiao?" Li Ji was even more puzzled.
"Yes," Xiao Zhang nodded, thought about it, and said, "Mr. Cui said that everything has been arranged, and I don't have to worry about other things, as long as I cooperate with Assistant Xiao to go through the formalities." ”
Li Ji was speechless for a while. After a moment of silence, he asked Zhou Xiaoxue, "Is Assistant Xiao here?" I want to meet her. ”
"Assistant Xiao?" Zhou Xiaoxue hesitated for a moment, "She's long gone." ”
"Gone?" Li Ji's eyes widened, "Could it be that she, she is also ......"
"Where do you think of it?" Zhou Xiaoxue chuckled, "Assistant Xiao has resigned." ”
"Resigned? When? ”
"Gone at the end of last year. I heard that I had a better job in my hometown, so I went back. ”
Li Ji nodded, looked at the lines of numbers on the account page, and fell into deep thought.
"Manager Zhang, have you been to Shin Shin Company?" In the middle of the night, Li Ji asked Xiao Zhang.
"Go, go once." Xiao Zhang was a little uneasy and lowered his eyes.
At this time, only Xiao Zhang knew best in his heart, that time he said that he was going to Shin Shin Company to do a pre-loan investigation, but in fact, the car only stopped on the road opposite the company, looked at it from a distance, and went directly to the Marriott Hotel. He didn't even know what the gate of Shin Shin looked like.
"Just once?" Li Ji looked at Xiao Zhang, and his voice suddenly rose an octave, "Then how did you sign the mortgage contract?" Do you also do post-loan management? ”
"Cui, Mr. Cui said that a big customer like Marriott Group will not be bad if he closes his eyes to lend, so what do you .....do with that effort?"
"Mr. Cui said, Mr. Cui said, what do you want you to do as an account manager?" Li Ji couldn't help but get angry.
Xiao Zhang looked at Li Ji and buried his head vigorously: "Mr. Cui said that everything is done, and the land appraisal has been handed over to the appraisal company, so I just need to sign and go through the formalities." ”
"Which appraisal company is it?"
"Nissin Appraisal Company."
"Nissin Appraisal Company?" Li Ji was speechless again, because Nissin Appraisal was dissolved as early as the beginning of this year.
"Brother Ji," Zhou Xiaoxue thought sideways, and suddenly interjected, "I heard that Xinxin Materials Company seems to have stopped production a long time ago." ”
"Discontinued?" Li Ji was stunned.
"Well," Zhou Xiaoxue nodded, and then paused, "I heard what the people in the group said, I don't know if it's true." ”
The sunlight outside the window was no longer visible, and the room was dark. Li Ji suddenly felt a chill on his body.
"Let's go, go to Shin Shin Materials Company to have a look." After being silent for a long time, Li Ji had an idea.
"Brother Ji, don't you see Mr. Wu?"
Wu is always the financial director of Marriott Group, and previously worked for a world-renowned accounting firm.
"I think it's okay today," Li Ji said with a bitter face, "I'll come to visit her another day." ”
After speaking, Li Ji handed the account page to Xiao Zhu. The three of them said goodbye to Zhou Xiaoxue and left the Marriott Building in a hurry.
The pale yellow sunset falls quietly on the buildings and alleys. Li Ji's heart was heavy, as if he was stuffed with something.
Caught in a taxi, none of the three spoke. Xiao Zhang led the way in the front row, and the car sped away.
Li Ji leaned on the car seat, his eyes slightly closed, rubbing his forehead with one hand, and his heart was like a mess. Xiao Zhu was beside him, peeking at Li Ji from time to time, and wanted to speak several times, but in the end he didn't speak. Xiao Zhang sat straight and stiff, and was even more silent.
The sky was getting darker, and the last rays of sunlight were gone. The car left the city center and headed east of the city.
The further you go, the fewer and fewer high-rise buildings, and the scenery on the roadside becomes more and more desolate. When the taxi stopped in front of a factory building overgrown with wild grass, Xiao Zhang suddenly shouted.
"Master, are you on the wrong track?" Xiao Zhang was the first to get out of the car, looking at the scene in front of him, with a surprised expression, "This is Shin Shin Materials Company?" ”
"Wrong?" The driver smiled disdainfully and snorted in his nose, "How could it be wrong?" I used to be an employee here. ”
"Huh?" Xiao Zhang's mouth opened wide. I clearly remember that it was a large factory, and the rumbling sound of machines could be heard from afar on the road.
Isn't the one I went to before Shin Shin Company?
"The company has long been closed, except for those who watch the door, where is there anyone? See for yourself. After the driver finished speaking, he turned the car around and walked away.
The three of them walked through the thorny dirt path to the factory gate.
The gate was closed, and the two iron doors were rusty. Looking through the crack in the door, the half-human-tall artemisia grass, the broken bricks and tiles, all collapsed houses, and there was no one in sight.
"I wasn't here last time!"
Xiao Zhang stood there dumbfounded, dumbfounded.
