A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

These words were spoken.

The atmosphere in the meeting room changed instantly.

The head of the legal department stopped wiping his glasses.

The deputy head of the risk control department was drinking water, holding the cup to his lips but neither putting it down nor drinking.

"Cousins?"

The head of the legal department adjusted his glasses: "Manager Sun, why wasn't this relationship mentioned in the evaluation report?"

Sun Wenbo's report was indeed well-written, but regarding this account receivable, he simply used the phrase "delayed payment, risk controllable" to gloss over it.

It is important to understand that failing to disclose such implicit related-party relationships in a due diligence report is a significant professional oversight.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I can explain this problem."

Sun Wenbo gave an awkward smile: "These two are indeed relatives, but they are independent entities in business, so strictly speaking, it does not constitute a related-party transaction."

That's a very well-phrased explanation.

Clearly, he had predicted this situation.

Two or three of the senior executives present nodded slightly, clearly fooled by this explanation.

Lu Yang didn't rush to speak, but instead glanced at the reactions of the people around him, and had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Sun Wenbo's move is called avoiding the main issue and focusing on the minor one.

A compliant shell covers up the rotten flesh inside.

If it were an ordinary intern, they would basically be blocked at this point.

After all, he's a seasoned veteran in the workplace with solid communication skills.

"Manager Sun is right."

Lu Yang continued, "But I checked the information of the actual investor in the debtor."

"This company has a registered capital of 200 million yuan, of which 60 million yuan comes from another partnership. Among the LPs of this partnership is an individual named Zhou Lin."

He looked up and glanced at Sun Wenbo.

"Zhou Lin is the wife of the actual controller of the target company."

Sun Wenbo's smile finally crumbled.

"Well... Zhou Lin is just a limited partner (LP) and doesn't participate in management."

"Manager Sun."

Lu Yang interrupted him, "I didn't say she was involved in management."

"What I'm saying is that this account receivable flowed out of the target company, and your valuation report didn't mention it at all."

"Did you omit it, or do you just not want to mention it? It's really hard to guess."

The last question is very direct and obvious.

Li Xixue, sitting in the main seat, frowned slightly.

Her gaze fell on Lu Yang with surprise.

This man was better prepared than she had imagined.

Or rather, Lu Yang not only didn't get stage fright today, but his performance far exceeded her expectations.

It should be noted that Lu Yang is just a newcomer to the workplace, but his presence is in no way inferior to those of the veterans.

He truly is the man I've chosen.

At the same time, a fine layer of sweat appeared on Sun Wenbo's forehead, and everyone was waiting for his response.

Sun Wenbo took a deep breath and calmed down: "How long have you been with the company? A week?"

"almost."

Do you know how much work it takes to produce a complete report?

"I know."

"Then you should know that what we value is business sustainability, not digging into other people's family relationships..."

"Manager Sun."

This time, it wasn't Lu Yang who interrupted him.

It was Li Xixue.

"Go on."

This was said to Lu Yang.

Sun Wenbo's cheek muscles twitched, he gritted his teeth, and sat in the chair without saying a word.

Lu Yang nodded: "Accounts receivable are just the first issue."

The first one?

The people around them exchanged glances.

besides?

Lu Yang smiled and looked at Sun Wenbo.

"Manager Sun, there's a production line that was originally worth 38 million, but in the valuation report, its net value was listed as 16 million. You did that, didn't you?"

"slander!"

Sun Wenbo pointed at Lu Yang, then addressed the surrounding executives, saying, "This kid is slandering me!"

The crowd frowned but ignored him.

Li Xixue opened the documents in her hand and found the corresponding line.

The numbers do match.

Sun Wenbo argued, "We conducted an impairment test on this production line midway through!"

"Um."

Lu Yang nodded. "The report was issued by an accounting firm."

He paused for a second.

"Manager Sun, are you familiar with this firm?"

Sun Wenbo's tone was slightly somber: "We've collaborated a few times, and our reputation in the industry is decent."

Lu Yang laughed and said, "The reputation is indeed not bad, but there are few people who have a shareholder in this business named Sun Wenbo."

Sun Wenbo?

Everyone was stunned.

Good grief, so you're using company resources to engage in insider trading, huh?

You should know that this is illegal!

"coincide."

Sun Wenbo gritted his teeth, still trying to argue: "It's just a shared surname; there are tons of people in the world with the surname Sun!"

"There are quite a lot."

Lu Yang's smile deepened: "However, coincidentally, the household registration information is from Linjiang, and there is only one Sun Wenbo sitting in the office right now in the whole world."

"You bastard! How dare you investigate me!"

Sun Wenbo was furious:

"This is an invasion of my privacy, you know you've broken the law!"

"Invasion of privacy?"

It was Li Xixue who interrupted him.

She didn't look at Sun Wenbo, but instead rested her chin on one hand and slowly flipped through the documents beside her with the other.

"Manager Sun, instead of that, shouldn't you be explaining the matter of the private insider transactions?"

"President Li, I think this meeting has gone astray."

Sun Wenbo immediately said, "What we're discussing today is the feasibility of the merger, not investigating whose shareholders are involved..."

"Did it go off track?"

Li Xixue finally raised her head and looked at Sun Wenbo with a very calm expression.

What might seem like nothing to Lu Yang was actually a queen ruling the workplace in the eyes of others.

Every time she makes that face, it means someone in the company is doomed!

"You're a shareholder in the firm that issued the report, and the evaluation results were all green light... Sun Wenbo, tell me, what do you call this?"

"Mr. Li, I can explain..."

Li Xixue didn't intend to listen to his explanation and turned to Chen Yan directly, "Call the police."

Two words.

Clean and efficient.

Chen Yan walked out of the conference room with her phone in her hand.

The other senior executives chimed in, "Manager Sun, if you feel wronged, you can explain to the police later."

Sun Wenbo was stunned.

He glanced around at his colleagues, and found that everyone was either pretending to look down at documents or avoiding eye contact.

No one stood up.

This is the workplace.

When you were at the height of your fame, everyone called you Brother Sun.

When you get into trouble, everyone is afraid of getting covered in mud.

About ten minutes later.

Two uniformed police officers walked into the conference room.

When Sun Wenbo was taken away, he passed by Lu Yang, paused for a second, looked at Lu Yang with hatred in his eyes. He never expected that he, a seasoned veteran in the workplace, would be defeated by a newcomer.

The door closed.

All eyes turned to Lu Yang, who was sitting next to Li Xixue.

This is different from the disdain he showed earlier.

This time, the perspective is much more complex.
