Persuasion

  Lin Qiang suppressed his anger and opened the file belonging to Hao Wei.

  This is enough to convict Hao Wei, the United Bank has been cracking down on such behavior since its establishment. As long as this suspicious account appears in Hao Wei's account, it is already conclusive evidence. At that time, just ask Ling Chen to provide a photocopy of the real bill, and you can report it to the top through Xia Xin's internal channel.

  Even if it's Rosa, she won't be able to save him if a branch president-level figure intervenes personally.

  Lin Qiang opened the last file and stared at every single entry on it.

  "No problem..."

  "No problem..."

  "Normal..."

  "My god!"

  Finally, Lin Qiang slammed his fist on the table again.

  Hao Wei's account is normal in all aspects.

  He has only two accounts with United Bank within the country, everything is normal, the withdrawals are not much and very scattered, all for daily expenses. As for overseas banks, Liu Ming also made an effort to investigate and found that he had an account with Citibank, but it was only occasionally used to remit US dollars to his son, the amount was normal and matched Hao Wei's normal income, there is not a single suspicious place.

  Lin Qiang closed his laptop and sat with his head in his hands, deep in thought.

  "Could it be... I was wrong..."

  "Is Zhang Jiaming a gambler?"

  "Is Zhang Jiaming in debt to usury?"

  "Was Wang Jiaxin just using company money to buy insurance for himself?"

  “…………”

  The knock at the door sounded again, and Zhang Jiaming's fat face also poked in again.

  "Director, what's with your face? Nothing wrong?" Zhang Jiaming chuckled and said, "The audit team comrades have some more troublesome questions."

  Lin Qiang slowly raised his head and stared at Zhang Jiaming, thinking about all possibilities.

  Are you going to threaten him?

  Will he be afraid? Will he confess? Will he become a tainted witness?

  Wouldn't I be beating the grass and startling the snake, giving them a chance to destroy the evidence?

  "Director, what's wrong?" Zhang Jiaming was looked at with some trepidation, "I... didn't do anything wrong, did I?"

  "Hmm..." Lin Qiang let out a long sigh, patted the table and stood up, "Never mind, I'll go take a look at the conference room."

  He finally held back.

  Actually, after the news of Hao Wei's detention came out, Zhang Jiaming had already prepared to surrender, but apparently he received some information and stopped this behavior. Now, the situation is increasingly leaning in favor of Hao Wei, wanting to use the materials on hand to coerce Zhang Jiaming into submission is almost impossible.

  "Must... must have overlooked something." Lin Qiang muttered to himself.

  In the corridor, the clue was locked in, and Lin Qiang, who had almost reached a dead end, suddenly lit up his eyes.

  "Just once more... I just need one little clue."

  Zhang Jiaming: Total assets, 28,600 yuan.

  Still need to bear alimony after divorce, long-term outlook is bearish.

  Loss of main income, short-term bearish outlook.

  Wealth: None, Hao Wei.

  Jie point: Na Cai, Lin Qiang.

  "Finally saw clearly..." Lin Qiang's heart secretly shocked, recently has been paying attention, big or small matters all pass through the brain, always ensuring accumulation of virtue and not harming wealth, his own eyes can finally see more things.

  Nà cái... The interpretation of this word is multifaceted, it can refer to buying property or investing; it can also mean collecting debts or receiving payments; it can be about receiving betrothal gifts or even bribery. In short, according to the money chart, for Zhang Jiaming, this aspect of things is a critical juncture, whether he will succumb to the critical juncture or successfully navigate through it remains uncertain.

  What does Lin Qiang mean after Na Cai? What does Hao Wei mean after financial fortune?

  "After messing around for half a day, Hao Wei is the God of Wealth, am I a God of Decline?" Lin Qiang was at a loss whether to cry or laugh.

  "Director, what's wrong?" Zhang Jiaming saw Lin Qiang's expression suddenly brighten and darken, thinking he was overworked, and gloated as he advised, "Director, you shouldn't be too tired either. If it's really not working out, just go back and rest during the day."

  "I'm fine with energy, just want to find a place to take a bath." Lin Qiang scratched his neck, having not changed or showered for two days, and it seemed like he had already started to stink.

  "Like that..." Zhang Jiaming's thoughts turned, and he leaned in close to Lin Qiang's ear, smiling as he said, "I just chatted with Director Zeng, and he's also feeling a bit tired. At this time, it would be good for everyone to go out together, take a bath, get a foot massage or something."

  Lin Qiang didn't know whether to scold him or praise him, Zhang Jiaming was no good at anything else, but he was an expert at thinking up ways to have fun. It was clearly inspection time, a group of auditors were busy as could be, while the leaders from both sides went off together to take a bath, this was really ridiculous.

  Zhang Jiaming continued to persuade: "Director, actually, Zeng Zuolong is quite easy-going, otherwise, I can help you make an appointment?"

  Facing Zhang Jiaming's sudden change in attitude, Lin Qiang was also unsure what he was getting at for a moment, and could only probe: "It seems like there's nothing for me and Zeng Baichuan to talk about?"

  "Hey!" Zhang Jiaming slapped his thigh, "Director Zeng is just a bit fierce-looking, but actually, as long as you go along with him, he's not a bad person."

  "Along with? What kind of along?"

  "This...," Zhang Jiaming thought for a moment before lowering his voice, "You're the most aware of this, Director. The purpose of this inspection has already been achieved, and it can be concluded early. What I'm about to say is just my personal speculation..."

  Zhang Jiaming said, his voice dropping a few more degrees: "Director... sometimes our bank is unfair to people, not to the situation. If you take a step back and retire early, wouldn't all the trouble be gone? I've inquired about it, Zeng Baichuan used to be under Zhou Hang's leadership. You have a word with him, let him put in a good word for you at Zhou Hang's place, maybe you won't even need to go to Jiaoting, and can be transferred to the city center instead. In any case, it's better than the current stalemate, isn't it?"

  Zhang Jiaming opened the conversation box and very "kindly" helped Lin Qiang calculate: "Director Lin, your outstanding ability is recognized by everyone... But let's think about it, why has everything been so unsmooth recently? It's all because of leadership! Leadership looks at ability, but more importantly, they look at whether you listen to them or not! Think about it, a subordinate who doesn't listen to orders, no matter how capable, the leader won't like them either! Rather than having someone with such a threatening presence and disobedience in front of their eyes, they must want to get rid of them! So, Director Lin, sometimes just follow the leader's intentions, don't care about right or wrong, and there will be no problem!"

  "Ah..." Lin Qiang shook his head with a mixture of laughter and tears, and said with a smile, "Zhang Jiaming, you're really starting to think for me now."

  "Where's the need for that!" Zhang Jiaming said with a wry smile, "Me? I'm just a humble servant. I'm not like you, boss. This lifetime of mine is just about getting by safely and soundly, hoping for peace and stability, without stirring up too much trouble. Boss, to be honest, do we have any grudges against each other? No! In the end, it's just one sentence... You do your part, I'll do mine! You follow the leaders' orders, do what you should do, forget what you shouldn't know, and live a carefree life!"

  "Heh heh, since you've said it to this extent, I won't hide it anymore." Lin Qiang's expression changed, and with a sly smile, he asked, "When Zheng Shuai and I first arrived, who was it that arranged for us to stay in the basement?"

  "I'm doing well here, who is trying every means to get me transferred away?"

  "I'm a person who can take a lot, but being transferred twice in one month is an insult I won't tolerate. After going through such embarrassing things, which company would still dare to want me?"

  "There are many things that I can turn a blind eye to. But who is it that has been pushing me step by step towards the dead end?"

  Lin Qiang said, patting Zhang Jiaming's shoulder: "Take a step back and say, if I were a mediocre person, I wouldn't have been transferred here at all. My previous leader was much better than Hao Wei, we had worked together before, but human nature led to many things happening, making him unable to tolerate me anymore."

  "Wasn't the previous leader... Zhang Hang?"

  "Yes, I also want to work hard at the Financial Street branch," Lin Qiang said with emotion. "Unfortunately, I have principles and will not unconditionally sacrifice my career."

  "What do you mean by that?"

  "One day, you will understand." Lin Qiang gazed at Zhang Jiaming again, "At this point, it's time for you to think about retreat. Whether it's the tax Wang Jiaxin escaped or the money you gave to Hao Wei as a tribute, I've already found them all. After sales exceed 100 million, I will present these evidences to the branch through private relationships. If the branch doesn't handle it, I'll directly submit it to the Audit Office and China Banking Regulatory Commission. If that's still useless, I'll directly give it to news media. Get ready to face it."

  “？！！！！”

  Zhang Jiaming's pupils suddenly enlarged, his feet felt a void, he stumbled a few steps, and trembled as he leaned against the wall. He thought Lin Qiang was at the end of his rope, and that's why he said those things he shouldn't have said.

  But he only realized now that Lin Qiang had never rested, and was like a wild dog biting down hard, with a momentum that would either kill the fish or break the net.

  "What are you talking about?! I don't understand... What tax evasion... What tribute?"

  "Heh heh." Lin Qiang chuckled and said, "Don't be afraid, you're not the mastermind, just an accomplice."

  Lin Qiang said, furrowing his brow again: "Wait a minute... if he wants to, it shouldn't be difficult for him to turn you from an accomplice into the main culprit, right?"

  "Wasn't it you, Zhang Jiaming, who was the bank representative when Wang Jiaxin bought insurance?"

  "This is really not easy to handle..." Lin Qiang muttered, "If something happens, Hao Weiquan will pretend to know nothing and push everything onto you. Also, you should think carefully about how to explain the missing bonus every month."

  "Bonus...... even this you......" Zhang Jiaming was already in a panic, his words were incoherent.

  Fear and self-protection are Zhang Jiaming's weaknesses. He is a man who hopes to spend his entire life in the bank, and what he fears most is losing this job.

  "Haha, Hao Wei's hidden account is quite secretive, I've been searching for it for a long time." Lin Qiang raised an eyebrow at Zhang Jiaming, "That account is very interesting, isn't it?"
