I really don't want to hang up

Chapter 228 Sorry
Paul was so frightened that his hands trembled that he almost dropped the note on the ground.

He grabbed the note like a life-saving straw, his back felt a chill, and his forehead was constantly sweating.

On the note, blood-like handwriting read:

"We know what you've done."

This handwriting is very ugly, piercing the soul from the pupil, leaving deep fear.

what did paul do
He doesn't know either!
Paul knew that he had probably broken the law.

In Wudu, there are no innocent people.

On the one hand, the Fog City Code is outrageous and not as fair as the Holy Code. Even an upright person will be judged as guilty under the framework of the Fog City Code.

On the other hand, people will more or less cross the line to take some interests that do not belong to them.

Paul is the chief accountant of Corral Mining. He has access to the freshest first-hand information and has enough inside information.

He entrusted a friend to help him buy the shares of Coral Mining and made a small profit.

Another time, he drank too much at the wine table and said something to his mistress, even Paul himself forgot!

Going forward, Paul made false accounts for Coral Mining, concealed the company's major accidents, deceived the insurance company, and embezzled funds under the instigation of the general manager
After earnestly recalling his career, Paul was surprised to find that he was quite law-abiding!

At least under the Fog City Code, Paul is definitely the more honest one among accountants of the same status!
He crumpled the note into a ball and wanted to throw it into the sewer, but with some concerns, he finally stuffed it into his inner pocket.

No matter what the owner of the note wants to do, Paul decides to stay the same!

He got into the stagecoach and headed back to Corral Mining headquarters just in time for lunch.

"Paul! Bastard, come here!"

The general manager cursed,
"I've been looking for you all morning, what did you do?"

Paul narrated his experience truthfully, of course, he concealed the part of the note.

Fewer people know about Yue Aihong.

"Have you been invited to the security team for tea?"

There was doubt in the eyes of the general manager. He kept looking at Paul, feeling that the other party was trying to fool him.

Doesn't he know the moral level and legal awareness of the Wudu security team?

Even if the sage entered the security team, if he didn't pick up his skin, he wouldn't even think about getting out!
The results of it?
Paul actually told himself that he was invited to go for three hours, no interrogation, no threats, no torture, nothing, just let him drink tea quietly for three hours!

What a fool!
The general manager did not express his doubts, but changed the subject,
"Hurry up and write a check. The Buck family is here, and their equipment has left the port for the weekend!"

"So fast?!"

Paul exclaimed and blurted out,

"It's not long since we signed the contract!"

"You know shit."

The general manager also thought that the other party delivered the goods too fast, but the Buck family gave a reasonable explanation and convinced the general manager.

Recalling the other party's explanation, the general manager said triumphantly,

"The Buck family is looking for a partner in Fog City. Even if it's not us, they will find someone else. Do you understand that their equipment has already been shipped and ready to go, so as soon as the contract is signed, they leave the port immediately! We won the lottery!"

Listening to these words, Paul nodded slowly, without saying anything.

From the perspective of Corral Mining, there is no reason to refuse the cooperation invitation from the Buck family.

It's just that the cash flow is really tight.

After disbursement of the 5 pounds, the cash dividend of 3 pounds was removed, leaving only 10 pounds of the originally borrowed 2 pounds.

As Paul walked towards the office, he asked casually,
"Boss, which port in Shenbang did the goods ship from? How long will it take them to arrive in Wudu?"

As chief accountant, Paul was a little worried about cash flow.

The general manager said nonchalantly,

"Don't worry, it will take half a month to drive the fastest boat to Wudu from the nearest port of Shenbang!"

In case of fog and other inclement weather, this time will be longer!

After dispelling his doubts, Paul quickly issued the check, stamped it with the official seal, and handed it over to the general manager.

After lunch, Paul locked himself in the office, a little anxious, took out the note from time to time, checked it repeatedly, and wanted to see some clues from it.

Paul really didn't know what the other party was talking about!
Even if it is a threat or blackmail, you must always make a request. What does the other party want to do with such an endless note?
Just when Paul was suspicious, the general manager scolded him from the office next door, and then Paul heard his name.

"Paul, get over here!"

Paul trembled, and hurried to the next door, looking at the furious general manager.

In the office, besides the general manager, there is also a newspaper editor.

There was a sneer on the corner of the editor's mouth. After seeing Paul, his face was full of schadenfreude, and he even took the initiative to take a step back, leaving the battlefield to the two.

The general manager pointed at the newspaper on the table and angrily said,
"Look, what is this!"

Confused, Paul stepped forward, picked up the newspaper on the table, and found that this sample issue should be published tomorrow.

In other words, the things in the newspaper have not yet been officially published.

Paul glanced at the headlines, raised his eyebrows sharply, and then trembled.

The headline content is simple:
[From the history of the monster stock Coral Mining, what immoral things have they done? 】

In the report, some black materials about Coral Mining were mentioned, half-truths and half-false.

This kind of unsubstantiated article, even if it is put on the headlines, has little impact on Coral Mining, and it is not worth getting angry at all.

What really shocked Paul into a cold sweat was the end of the report, where he casually mentioned:
".According to the definite news from this newspaper, Paul, the chief accountant of Coral Mining, was invited to the security team for three hours this morning, which may be related to this matter. After leaving the security team, Paul kept his mouth shut about this inquiry. I refuse to disclose any information, this newspaper will continue to follow up on this matter and bring you more reports, so stay tuned.”

Paul gasped, raised his head, and said in shock,

"Boss, they really didn't ask me anything! I was locked in the hut for three hours, and I didn't even see a ghost!"

He tried to defend himself, but the contemptuous smile on the general manager's face had already explained the general manager's attitude.

What a fool!

Paul couldn't argue with his mouth, even if he jumped into the holy river, he couldn't clear it up!
At this time, the editor of the newspaper stepped forward and acted as a peacemaker.
"Okay, okay, let's assume that Paul is telling the truth, this matter is not important, we will talk about it later, let's talk about this report first."

Paul almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

What does it mean to treat yourself as telling the truth?
What I said was the truth, okay?

The general manager gave Paul a wary look, and let out a cold snort,
"You go out first!"

Reports like this can go unnoticed in newspapers, but it is best not to appear in newspapers.

Now that the sample magazine has been printed, maybe even a batch of newspapers have been printed.

To get rid of the report, the general manager must use some disgraceful means.

In the past, he would trust Paul, let Paul stay in the office, and even cooperate or something.

Now, because of the incident with the security team, Paul got into trouble and lost the trust of the general manager.

Paul exited the office and stood at the door for a moment, unable to hear more information.

Ten minutes later, the proud editor of the newspaper walked out, turned around and walked into the accounting office, asking Paul to write a check totaling 1500 pounds as Corral Mining's latest sponsorship to the newspaper.

1200 pounds will go to the public account, and 300 pounds will be given to cash.

After getting the permission of the general manager, Paul did so and got 1500 pounds from the account.

He wanted to go to the next door to defend himself, but he didn't know what to say.

be honest?

The boss made it clear that he didn't believe it!
Paul looked around anxiously, unable to think of any good solution.

Finally, before leaving get off work, he knocked on the door of the general manager's office, swore that he was telling the truth, and was willing to confront Inspector Field, and even make an appointment with the Chief Inspector for a meal to clear up the misunderstanding.

"Okay, okay, Paul, this is over!"

The general manager waved his hand and said impatiently,

"This matter has been settled. No matter what you have experienced in the security team, keep your mouth shut and don't cause trouble for me again, or you will have nothing to eat!"

As he said that, the general manager picked up his bald hat and coat and walked out. He was going to a dinner party, and maybe he could have a dewy affair with a pretty girl.

Corral Mining is the hottest stock recently, and even the general manager has become the most popular person at the dinner party these days.

Tonight's dinner party is not easy.

This dinner was hosted by Master Todd of the Buck family. It was of a very high standard. It is said that even the glasses on the banquet were antiques, which were very valuable!
For tonight's dinner, the general manager even took a shower and sprayed on half a bottle of perfume!
Chasing after the general manager, Paul opened and closed his mouth, trying to defend himself, but couldn't say anything.

He always had an ominous premonition in his heart, but he couldn't tell why.

Back in his office, Paul thought about what he could do to prove his value to the company.

He briefly checked the company's accounts.

The accounting was done by Paul himself, which covered up a lot of losses and beautified the company's operating conditions to a certain extent.

The situation of Coral Mining is not as good as the financial report leaks, of course, it is not bad.

Most listed companies do this, and it is a legal accounting method!
Ahem, maybe not that legal, but it's not a big deal either.

After checking the accounts and the balance of the company account, Paul found that there were several settlement applications, the amount of which was not large, adding up to more than [-] pounds.

According to the usual practice, the money can be delayed for a certain period of time. Coral Mining suppresses other people's payment, and others will also suppress Coral Mining's payment. Isn't this how business is done?
Besides, it's legal!
Therefore, considering the company's somewhat tight cash flow, Paul rejected all these applications.

They won't pay until the last day of the due date.

Even if the general manager knew about this, he wouldn't blame Paul for anything, and would even praise him for being sensible.

After dealing with the matter in hand, Paul's inner anxiety did not disappear in any way.

He always felt that something was not right.

With the mentality of making amends, Paul tried to contact the Buck family, wanting to know more details about the delivery of the goods.

Soon, Paul got a reply from the other party.

The moment he saw the news, Paul's face was extremely pale and he lost all blood!
"How could this be, how could this be?!"

Fog City, a banquet hall near the royal palace, is very lively tonight, with clinking cups of wine and flickering lights.

It has to be said that Shenbang people have something in terms of holding dinner parties.

The custom of Shenbang dinner can be traced back more than a thousand years ago.

Even the great tribune Lu Deng is a dinner party expert, and he has worked tirelessly all year round to attend various dinner parties.

This dinner was low-key and luxurious.

Utensils, food, lighting...every detail is perfect.

As for the participants of the dinner party, they are either rich or expensive, and they are all famous, powerful and powerful figures in the fog, and young leaders.

They appeared here because they received invitations from the Buck family, St. Peter's Knights, and the Thirteenth Holy Order.

The Buck family wants to enter the Wudu City and expand their business. The Knights of St. Peter are the backbone of the Little United Kingdom. The Thirteen Holy Orders also want to expand their influence in the Wudu City. At least the Holy Father will not become the leader of the Little United Kingdom. State religion.

Therefore, the people attending the banquet are willing to sell the faces of all parties to see if there is a chance to get a share of the next one.

It was the first time for the general manager to attend such a high-level dinner.

He didn't expect that he, a stinky mining NEW MONEY, would be able to have what he is today!

The general manager's elation didn't last long.

He soon realized that he was still that NEW MONEY, and these old dignitaries didn't even bother to chat with him, an upstart.

Not only that, but people were pointing at him, as if to say something.

Once the general manager approached, everyone ended the topic tactfully and refused to say a word.

Hiding behind the pillars and pricking up your ears to eavesdrop, the general manager knew what everyone was talking about.

That banned report!

The newspaper editor did pull the story from the paper.

However, this also means that the high-ranking people in Shenbang know the content of the report!
If this report appeared on the headlines, the bigwigs might not care. Newspapers have headlines every day, nothing unusual.

But this report was paid to withdraw the headlines, so that's a bit interesting!

Big names started paying attention to the story, and took a hard look at how much of what was reported was true.

As the Shenbang proverb says: [The fastest way to get everyone to read a report is to block it]

Just when the general manager was unhappy, an unexpected guest broke into the banquet!
The person who came was Paul, the chief accountant.

Paul, with a flushed face, pulled the slightly drunk general manager to the corner, breathless and said,

"Family Buck, Family Buck"

Paul couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time, and was extremely flustered.

Sensing the strange gazes of other people, the general manager felt like a light on his back.

Under the stimulation of alcohol, the general manager cursed,
"Damn it, Paul, don't you think you're not ashamed enough? Don't you cause me enough trouble! Give me a reason not to fire you, bastard!"

The scolded dog was bleeding, Paul said tremblingly,
"The Buck family's goods are shipped from the Highland Republic and are expected to arrive at the port of Wudu in three to five days."

"what?!"

Needless to say, Paul, the general manager also knows what this means!
Once the goods arrive at the port, Corral Mining must pay the remaining 5 pounds!

breach of contract?Not only was the previous deposit in vain, but he also had to pay high liquidated damages!

But in such a short time, where can he raise money?
"How could it be highland shipments, isn't Shenbang and highlands at war?"

The general manager murmured in a daze, not understanding why the situation turned around in an instant, and the precious wine glass in his hand fell to the ground.

Snapped--

The sound of the wine glass breaking attracted the attention of the audience. Everyone looked at the general manager and chief accountant Paul. They blushed for a moment, like monkeys in a circus.

One of the hosts of the banquet - Mr. Lu Deng happened to pass by and saw this embarrassing scene.

Luden looked at the mess everywhere, opened his mouth in a gentlemanly and elegant manner, and spit out two decent words from his mouth:

"Pay it."
