Who wants to be a male model after being reborn? I want to be a male god.

Chapter 411 Approaching the Truth
The air in the office seemed to freeze.

Yan Hui lowered her head, her eyes fixed on the water cup in her hand.

Xu Wen has known this woman for a long time, both in the past and now, but he has never seen her in such a miserable state.

The water in the cup reflected Yan Hui's haggard face.

The sunlight shone on her through the floor-to-ceiling windows, but it could not dispel the coldness around her body.

"Director Yan, are you willing to come to Shancheng?" Xu Wen's voice broke the silence.

He doesn't want to let go of the person that Gu Hong doesn't want, after all, this is a rare talent.

As for those matters concerning face, we’ll talk about them later.

Xu Wen is a pragmatist.

Yan Hui looked up suddenly, a hint of disbelief flashing in her eyes.

She had imagined that Xu Wen would comfort her and even give her some temporary help, but she never thought she would receive such an invitation.

The two of them had talked about this topic before.

At that time, Yan Hui thought Xu Wen was joking with her.

"Given my current situation, neither Hongjing Industrial nor Mr. Gu will let me go. I can't stay here with you." Her voice trembled a little.

"Xingsha branch needs a person in charge, and you are the most suitable candidate." Xu Wen interrupted her, his tone extremely calm.

He was still wondering who to send to be in charge of Xingsha.

Now the most suitable person in charge has been transferred directly to him.

Since you can't make it in Linjiang anymore, then don't stay in Linjiang anymore.

Gu Xingruo looked at Xu Wen in surprise, her lips slightly opened as if she wanted to say something, but she remained silent in the end.

She knew Xu Wen too well.

This decision was not made on impulse.

"Mr. Xu, do you know what you are saying? I am a tainted person now, and Hong Jing has influence in the industry." Yan Hui's voice trembled.

Until now, she still hasn't recovered from her fear.

"I know, and I know even better how much you have paid for Hong Jing. You know better than me how much of Jiang Jiayi's evidence is true and how much is a frame-up." Xu Wen crossed his legs, his face full of confidence.

He knew the ending.

Jiang Jiayi's report did not have any actual impact on Yan Hui.

After a few years of silence, she opened her own accounting firm.

Yan Hui's pupils contracted slightly.

Xu Wen's words were like a key that unlocked the deepest fear in her heart.

Indeed, among those so-called "evidences", some of the illegal operations were indeed done by Jiang Jiayi at her instruction.

But more key allegations, especially the embezzlement of public funds, are completely false.

"Do you believe me?" Yan Hui's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

She and the young man in front of her had only met a few times because of work. They did not know each other and were even strangers.

Yan Hui didn't expect that the person who trusted her now was a stranger.

This warmed her heart.

No wonder he was able to leap from a small college student to a rising star in the business circle in just one year.

There is some truth to that.

Xu Wen adjusted his sitting position and replied with his chin on his hand: "I don't believe in coincidences. Jiang Jiayi has been collecting evidence for more than a year, and she chose to attack when Shancheng was preparing to expand nationwide. It's too coincidental."

He made up an excuse.

Of course Xu Wen knew that what Jiang Jiayi did had nothing to do with Shancheng, but he couldn't say that he could predict the future, right?

This reason is reasonable.

Gu Xingruo suddenly stood up and said, "I'll go find my dad and ask him clearly! Sister Yan has been with him for more than ten years, how could he..."

Her eyes burned with anger.

"Ruoruo, questioning her now will only alert the enemy. We need evidence." Xu Wen gently pressed her shoulders.

He just knew the ending, but he didn't know what happened in between.

Xu Wen also wanted to know what on earth could make a cautious person like Gu Hong fire his chief financial officer at this time.

Maybe this would get him closer to the truth of everything.

Yan Hui looked at the young couple in front of her, feeling a complex emotion in her heart.

She recalled the scene when Xu Wen first came to Hongjing for financing a year ago.

The young man wearing an ordinary suit but with a determined look in his eyes.

Now he has grown to the point where he can protect her.

"Mr. Xu, if you are really willing to give me this opportunity, I am willing to go to Xingsha, but before that, I must confess that some of the accusations are true. For some 'special projects' of Mr. Gu, I did ask Jiang Jiayi to make some account adjustments, but I have never embezzled a penny of public funds." Yan Hui took a deep breath and straightened her back.

The primitive accumulation of capital is never quite legitimate.

Yan Hui has been with Gu Hong since he was still a young son-in-law.

Nature is involved in many things and knows the most.

It was precisely because she knew Gu Hong's methods so well that she was so afraid.

“Being fired is just the beginning.”

Xu Wen nodded, a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes: "I can roughly guess what Hong Jing's 'special project' is. It's not important. What's important is who is behind Jiang Jiayi."

He remembered the special USB drive in the safe.

It records in detail what Gu Hong has done over the years.

Especially things that are "not so glorious".

There was a sudden knock on the office door, and Wan Zhi's voice came from outside: "Mr. Xu, the data report from Jiangcheng is out, do you want to see it?"

"Hold on."

Xu Wen responded, then turned to Yan Hui and said, "Go back and have a rest first. Come to the company to sign the contract tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. As for the situation in Xingsha, I will summarize the experience of the branch for your reference."

Yan Hui stood up, her legs still a little weak.

She picked up her briefcase and suddenly realized that she had nothing left.

The office was cleared, the house keys were taken back by the company, and even the cell phone was temporarily confiscated for investigation.

"I" her voice choked.

From heaven to hell, that's probably what it feels like.

She used to be so high-spirited.

She had held a high position in the company at a young age, but now the building had collapsed and she was left with nothing again.

Gu Xingruo keenly sensed her predicament and pulled out a room card from her wallet: "Sister Yan, please stay here first. Register under my name and no one will disturb you."

This room was where she and Xu Wen often dated when they were secretly in love.

The young lady thought it was too troublesome to book a room, so she just booked it for a year.

After Xu Wen was able to enter and leave the villa openly, he never used it again.

She didn't expect it would come in handy now.

Yan Hui took the room card and her eyes suddenly turned red.

She opened her mouth, but finally bowed deeply, turned around and quickly left the office. The moment the door closed, Gu Xingruo turned to Xu Wen: "You have expected this day, right?"

Xu Wen stood up from his chair and stretched: "Do you believe me when I say it's my intuition? From the first time we met Jiang Jiayi in Chengyi, I felt that something was wrong with her."

How else to explain it?

I can only rely on my sixth sense.

Gu Xingruo nodded thoughtfully.

Although this seems very metaphysical, Xu Wen's intuition is sometimes frighteningly accurate, and she has long been accustomed to it.

Gu Xingruo frowned: "But Sister Yan is the person he trusts the most."

"Trust is often fragile in the face of interests. Jiang Jiayi may just be taking advantage of your father's sensitivity to accounting issues. Don't forget that your father is actually a very suspicious person." Xu Wen shook his head.

Wan Zhi knocked on the door again, and this time he pushed it open and came in: "Sorry to bother you, but something happened in Jiangcheng, and we need you..."

"I'll take care of it right away."

Xu Wen nodded, then turned to Gu Xingruo: "Ruoruo, can you contact other people in Hongjing's Finance Department? We need more inside information."

Gu Xingruo bit her lower lip and thought for a while: "Deputy Director Li from the Finance Department used to pick me up from school. I can give it a try, but maybe my father has already informed her. But it's not certain. He may not guess that Sister Yan will come to us directly."

"Be careful, don't expose our purpose." Xu Wen warned.

He then said to Wan Zhi, "Wan Zhi, please prepare yourself. Starting tomorrow, you will temporarily take over the personnel work of the head office. Yan Hui's employment procedures must be kept strictly confidential."

Although Wan Zhi was confused, his professional ethics prevented him from asking any more questions and he just nodded in agreement.

That night, in the hotel suite, Yan Hui stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the night view of the river in a daze.

Once upon a time, everything in this city was under her control.

Hong Jing’s financial flows, budget approvals for major projects, and even Gu Hong’s personal accounts.

Now, she even worried about being visited by Gu Hong's men when she went out to buy a bottle of water.

The doorbell suddenly rang, and Yan Hui looked at the peephole vigilantly.

It was Xu Wen, holding a briefcase in his hand.

"This is the preparatory material for the Xingsha branch. You can take a look at it tonight." Xu Wen said directly after entering the door.

Yan Hui took the file bag and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Xu, are you really not worried about me again?"

"I'm worried about the exact opposite. I'm worried that you'll be timid because of this blow. Xingsha needs your experience and courage, not an ordinary frightened woman." Xu Wen interrupted her.

Yan Hui was stunned.

Xu Wen's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the deepest part of her heart.

Yes, when did Yan Hui become so indecisive?

"I will find out about Jiang Jiayi's matter, but before that, I hope you can focus on Xingsha. Shancheng needs to develop the market in Lake Province, and you are the one who knows best how to deal with local governments." Xu Wen continued in a firm voice.

Yan Hui opened the document, which contained the market analysis of Xingsha City, the situation of its competitors, and the expansion plan of Shancheng.

Each page is densely marked, showing the professionalism and dedication of Xu Wen's team.

"Why Xingsha? Given my current situation, wouldn't it be safer to go to a smaller city?" she suddenly asked.

Xu Wen's mouth corners slightly raised: "Because Xingsha is strategically important, it is an important part of Shancheng's expansion, and Hongjing's influence in Xingsha is relatively weak."

Yan Hui suddenly realized.

Xu Wen not only gave her a chance to start over, but also helped her avoid possible risk areas.

Yan Hui was deeply surprised by this thoughtfulness.

"I will start working tomorrow, but Mr. Xu, I have a condition," she said finally, her voice returning to its usual calmness.

"Please speak." Xu Wen replied.

"If...if some of Jiang Jiayi's accusations are eventually proven to be true, I hope you can replace me immediately. Shancheng should not be at risk because of my past." Yan Hui took a deep breath.

Xu Wen stared at her for a long time, then nodded slowly: "Deal."

Three days later, Yan Hui boarded the high-speed train to Xingsha.

Xu Wen personally went to the station to see her off and handed her a new mobile phone and a bank card.

"Please feel free to contact us if anything happens. The branch address and employee information are all in the mobile phone memo." Xu Wen reminded.

Yan Hui took the item and suddenly asked, "Mr. Xu, why are you willing to help me? Is it just because I am valuable to Shancheng?"

The platform broadcast sounded, reminding passengers to get on the train as soon as possible.

Xu Wen looked at the train approaching from a distance and said softly, "Because you gave me a chance once, now it's my turn."

Yan Hui was a little confused for a moment when she heard what Xu Wen said.

She thought Xu Wen was talking about the time when Shancheng was raising funds.

That was not the opportunity she gave, it was given by Gu Hong. She was just following the rules.

Later, she thought Xu Wen was talking about the incident at Chengyi Hotel.

But she quickly denied herself.

In the end, she hadn’t figured out what this “opportunity” was, as the ticket gate had already urged her to check her tickets.

Yan Hui had no choice but to wave goodbye.

She would never guess what "opportunity" Xu Wen was talking about.

Because that was all before my rebirth.
At the same time, Gu Xingruo was sitting in a coffee shop opposite Hongjing Industrial, and in front of her was an old acquaintance of hers.

Li Min, deputy director of Hongjing Finance Department.

Her father was busy with work, so it was this aunt who attended the parent-teacher meetings for her in junior high school.

The two had many conflicts when they were young.

Thinking about it now, Gu Xingruo feels that she is childish.

"Xingruo, this matter is very complicated. Jiang Jiayi did collect a lot of evidence, but the most critical accounts of fund flows have been modified." Li Min stirred the coffee nervously.

Gu Xingruo's eyes lit up: "Are you sure?"

"I have been working in finance for more than 20 years. I can tell true and false accounts at a glance. But the problem is that the traces of modification show that it was operated with Director Yan's authority and password." Li Min lowered his voice.

"This is impossible! If Sister Yan really wanted to embezzle public funds, why would she use her own account?" she asked in disbelief.

It's all so weird.

Li Min gave her a meaningful look: "That's the problem. What's even more strange is what Mr. Gu said about this matter? It's very subtle. Normally, this kind of scandal should be handled in a low-key manner, but he acquiesced to Jiang Jiayi calling the police."

Gu Xingruo's heart sank.

She suddenly realized that Xu Wen's worries might be right.

My father might really know about it, and he might even be the mastermind behind it.

"Aunt Li, can you help me get an electronic version of those accounts? Even just part of it," she pleaded.

Li Min looked embarrassed: "This is too dangerous, if we are discovered..."

"Please, Sister Yan has always taken good care of you. You know she is not that kind of person." Gu Xingruo held her hand.

Finally, Li Min sighed, took out a USB flash drive from her bag and quietly handed it to Gu Xingruo: "It only has the data for the last three months. I can't get more. Remember, don't let your father know."

Gu Xingruo was stunned for a moment after seeing the USB flash drive.

It all went so smoothly that it almost seemed unreal to her.

But she didn't have time to think too much.

After taking the USB drive, he said to Li Min: "Thank you, Aunt Li."
