I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 189 Mysterious Figure
Fang Qingye immediately rode her scooter to her workplace and faxed all the contracts and related documents to Xia He from her office.

Xia He called back and said she would try to find out for you tomorrow.

"Be careful!" Fang Qingye reminded him.

Since Xia He was helping with the investigation, Fang Qingye waited patiently for news, and three days later she received a call from Xia He.

"How is it?" Fang Qingye asked.

"I didn't find any problems. To avoid alerting them, I didn't investigate the company. Instead, I went to the Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce and found a classmate of mine. He searched the special database of the Administration for Industry and Commerce and found that the company had a very good credit record and was a high-quality enterprise."

Fang Qingye frowned slightly upon hearing this and asked, "Did you go to court? Check if Xinda Industrial has any lawsuits against it?"

"I went. No, I didn't." Xia He replied on the phone.

"Later, I simply obtained a letter of introduction from the provincial branch in private and went directly to Cinda Company in the name of the provincial branch. I met with their boss and financial manager and other senior executives. They said that they had indeed signed a purchase and sale contract with Dingli Company and even showed me the original copy of the contract they held."

"Huh? Could my premonition be wrong?" Fang Qingye said.

"Not necessarily." On the other end of the phone, Xia He continued to analyze: "There is another possibility, which is what was said on QQ, that Xinda and Dingli colluded to sign fake contracts to defraud loans, but it is very difficult to find out the truth."

"Yes," Fang Qingye sighed, then added, "Xia He, don't get involved in this matter, lest it cause unnecessary trouble."

"I understand, don't worry, but you should also be careful."

"Ah."

The two chatted for a few minutes and then hung up.

The investigation reached a stalemate, and Zhang Qunying secretly told him that Dingli's loan application had been approved by the branch, but because the amount exceeded the branch's authorization, it still needed to be approved by the city branch.

"I heard that President Yao made a special trip to the city branch to report on this loan to the relevant leaders," Zhang Qunying said on the phone.

Why is he so enthusiastic about this?

"I don't know, Assistant Fang. What problem have you found?" Zhang Qunying asked.

"No, I asked a friend of mine in Huijing to investigate privately, and he didn't find anything wrong," Fang Qingye replied simply, without mentioning Xia He's name.

"That means their loan application meets the requirements."

"maybe."

After hanging up Zhang Qunying's call, Fang Qingye picked up her teacup.

Could it be that I was really wrong?

Unexpectedly, things took a sudden turn for the better, and the news came from Xia He's side.

That day, after having lunch at work, Xia He was about to go back to her office and lie on the sofa for a nap when her phone rang. It was an unknown number, but since it was a local number, she answered it without thinking.

"Which one?"

"You're Xia He, Minister Xia, from the Jiangsu branch of Oriental Bank, right?" The man's voice was unfamiliar and deep, as if he was deliberately lowering his voice, but his tone was distinctive, unlike that of someone from the city of Anhui, with a slightly high-pitched accent.

Gao Chun's accent is quite unique in various parts of Anhui and Beijing, and contains a large amount of ancient Wu language.

Although the man tried his best to disguise his emphasis, Xia He still sensed something.

“Yes, who are you?” Xia He asked.

Instead of answering his question, the other party continued, "Some time ago, you went to Xinda Industry without permission to check the purchase and sale contract they signed with Dingli Nonferrous Metals, didn't you?"

Upon hearing this, Xia He immediately sat up from the sofa.

"How do you know I did it on my own? Who are you?!"

"I've investigated. Xia He, the former president of the Nanxin branch of Oriental Bank, has just been transferred to the Jiangsu branch as the deputy director of the international business department. The loan to Dingli Company has nothing to do with you now, right? Your company would send you to investigate?! What else could it be but your private actions? As for who I am, it's not important, but I can tell you something: I'm an insider at Xinda Industrial. I have something you need here."

"What is it?" "Minister Xia, you're asking a question you already know the answer to. Don't you know what you're trying to investigate at Xinda Industrial?!"

"Is that contract fake?!" Xia He immediately tried to get information out of him.

"No comment. If you want to know the truth, we'll discuss it in person."

"When and where?" Xia He asked.

"At 6:30 pm, at a bar called Old Time at the old street corner, they called me after they arrived, and also said that the information I provided was for a fee."

"Rich?"

"30 million!"

"Wow, so expensive?!"

"It's expensive, but it's worth it for you. Remember, this is your only chance today, don't miss out! And please note, only you can come!"

“Okay, but what if you lie to me?” Xia He asked another question.

"Come if you believe. Don't come if you don't believe. It's up to you."

"I'll have to think about it."

"Okay, I'll give you ten minutes to think it over. You're out of time." The other party hung up the phone immediately after saying that.

Xia He immediately dialed Fang Qingye's cell phone.

"What? Someone called and offered to leak information privately?" Fang Qingye was very surprised. "Is this reliable?"

"It's really hard to tell," Xia He said honestly.

On the other end of the phone, Fang Qingye hesitated for a moment, then immediately replied, "Agree to his request first! I'll head to Huijing right away and we'll discuss it further."

"Okay, I'll call him back."

Meanwhile, Fang Qingye hung up the phone and immediately dialed Yao Gang's number: "President Yao, I'm not feeling well and would like to ask for half a day off."

"Assistant Fang, are you feeling unwell?" Yao Gang asked with concern on the other end of the phone.

"Headache."

"Well, you should have a good rest."

After taking leave, Fang Qingye immediately rode her scooter home. Her parents weren't home. She quickly packed her luggage, grabbed her suitcase, hurried downstairs, and drove straight to Huijing.

As the car drove on the highway, Fang Qingye considered this matter.

To be honest, Fang Qingye didn't want to make things so complicated. If she could find out the truth, she would; if not, she would just let it go.

Since I'm not a member of the loan approval team, even if there are problems with this loan, it has nothing to do with me.

Besides, he had already decided to leave.

However, Yao Gang is really too domineering. Does he really think he is easy to bully?
Being domineering isn't necessarily wrong, but you should at least keep your own reputation clean!
He arrived in Huijing at 5 p.m. and called Xia He: "I'm already in the city."

"Go directly to the old street entrance. There's a Qingmu Platinum Hotel nearby. I've already booked a room, room 1109. Just come over."

"OK!"

Fang Qingye turned on the navigation and arrived at Qingmu Platinum Hotel almost an hour later. He knocked on room 1109 and saw Xia He inside, still wearing her bank uniform.

When she saw Fang Qingye enter, she immediately pounced on him, and the two kissed passionately for quite a while before separating.
