Rekindle 2003

Chapter 1071 Don't struggle, it's unnecessary
The person who pushed the door open was Bai Le.

Yang Zhiyuan was also surprised when Bai Le appeared at the door at this time.

Although he was yelling and asking where Bai Le was, he knew very well that Bai Le was not qualified to attend the executive committee and could only be in the office downstairs.

But Bai Le's appearance at this moment still made him feel excited, as if he had found a life-saving straw in despair.

At times like this, you can only play dirty.

Then, it must be Bai Le.

Yang Zhiyuan's eyes were fixed on Bai Le, and the uneasiness in his heart eased a little.

However, the anxiety on his face had not completely dissipated. He still frowned and shouted anxiously, "Bai Le, come over quickly..."

Before he finished his words, as Bai Le took two steps inside, a person appeared behind him.

It was none other than Deputy Director Wang of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

Yang Zhiyuan, who was sitting in the main seat in the conference room, was stunned. His gaze shifted from Bai Le to Deputy Director Wang, and his expression changed from anxious to astonished.

The others present were also dumbfounded, and all their eyes turned in the direction of Director Wang.

Yang Zhiyuan stood up and looked at Director Wang in surprise. His voice was filled with uncertainty and confusion.
"Director, what are you doing today..."

He was a little confused for a moment. Why did Director Wang follow Bai Le in?
This was completely beyond his expectation.

According to convention, when leaders of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission visit enterprises for inspection, they will be notified in advance and reception arrangements will be made.

Director Wang's sudden appearance today made him feel inexplicably uneasy.

But before he could finish his words, Yang Zhiyuan closed his mouth and stared blankly at the person behind Director Wang, stunned.

Following behind Director Wang was Guo Wei, Chairman and General Manager of Digital China.

He is also a member of the Executive Committee of Fantasy Holdings and Senior Vice President of Fantasy Holdings.

Guo Wei looked at Yang Zhiyuan with a smile, and said with a hint of teasing, "Boss Yang, long time no see, I miss you so much!"

Everyone in the conference room was speechless for a moment.

They were calculating frantically in their minds.

The top executives of Fantasy Holdings knew that Guo Wei's appearance at this time was definitely not a coincidence, and there must be a deeper meaning behind it.

An ominous premonition arose in Yang Zhiyuan's heart, and his eyes shifted back and forth between Deputy Director Wang and Guo Wei, trying to find the connection between them.

Following Guo Wei into the conference room came a group of people in dark suits.

Their attire was formal, and the badges on their collars gleamed coldly under the light.

At the beginning of the century, this system of wearing badges on the job existed only in a few departments.

The Fantasy Holdings executives present were no strangers to the badge. This was not a party emblem, but a unique symbol of the supervisory department.

Yang Zhiyuan's heart sank to the bottom.

He realized that this was probably not a simple inspection, but an action against an individual.

If only Director Wang came with the inspectors, he wouldn't be so panicked.

But they also had Guo Wei, the trouble maker, and Bai Le along with them...

At this time, Yang Zhiyuan did not have a single glimmer of hope in his heart.

Obviously, he himself was at the center of this storm.

Moreover, is this the rhythm of arresting people at the venue? !

He didn't have to wait any longer. Director Wang looked around the conference room with a cold face and spoke in a low and serious voice, breaking the silence of the conference room.

"Everyone, this is Director An Junyong from the Central Inspection Team, and these are comrades from the Supervision Department. Now, please allow Director An to speak."

As soon as Director Wang finished speaking, he prepared to step back and give the center stage position to An Junyong.

"Director Wang!"

Yang Zhiyuan's urgent call filled with despair made him stop.

Director Wang turned around and looked up. At this time, Yang Zhiyuan had beads of sweat on his forehead and his eyes were full of pleading.

Director Wang's sharp triangular eyes, like those of an eagle, were fixed on Yang Zhiyuan. His gaze revealed an unquestionable majesty, but there was no warmth in his voice.
"Yang Zhiyuan, you know exactly what you did! Tell the truth and try to get leniency!"

After hearing this, Yang Zhiyuan no longer felt any hope.

Director Wang's words may seem very harsh, but they actually serve as a reminder to him:
First, the supervision was aimed at him.

Second, the supervision department does not have any substantial evidence.

But, what’s the use of reminding me at this time!
He knew in his heart that Director Wang's main intention was to warn him that it would be best for him to take the responsibility himself and not bite anyone randomly, otherwise no one would save him.

Yang Zhiyuan was angry at Director Wang's betrayal. He gritted his teeth and cursed Director Wang's cruelty.

However, at this moment he had no way to deal with Director Wang.

The promise he made to Director Wang regarding the future stock profits of Fantasy Group has not been fulfilled at this moment.

There is no substantial economic interest exchange between the two parties.

He can climb and bite, but the result will be very limited.

Yang Zhiyuan's heart was filled with regret. If he had known this day would come, he should have presented some precious antiques in the hope of getting some warning, or at least he would not be caught off guard like he is now.

However, reality did not give him much time to indulge in his emotions.

An Junyong's words were like a heavy hammer, pulling his thoughts back to reality.

"Yang Zhiyuan, we have received some real-name reports about Fantasy Holdings. Please come with us and cooperate with the investigation."

An Junyong's words were concise and powerful, leaving no room for maneuver. Every word hit Yang Zhiyuan's heart as coldly as an ice cube.

Yang Zhiyuan felt a chill in his heart.

An Junyong did not call him "comrade", and this detail gave him a bad feeling.

Even if, as Director Wang implied, the supervision department does not have substantial evidence, this represents the attitude of the supervision department - they are ready to make this matter an ironclad case.

Yang Zhiyuan raised his head and met An Junyong's gaze. There was a hint of confusion and puzzlement in his eyes, as if he was just an innocent bystander.

His voice was calm, with a hint of inquiry, "Director An, can you explain in detail what situations require my cooperation?"

An Junyong's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing an almost imperceptible smile, his voice remained calm,
"You'll know when you get to the hotel."

When everyone in the conference room heard this, they all exclaimed in their hearts, "Wow!"
It's better than 'detention', but not much better.

This completely skips the "regular" procedures and goes directly to the detention stage of depriving people of their personal freedom.

Generally speaking, detention measures are only taken when there is a major case, possibility of escape, possibility of collusion, etc.

There was a hint of obvious sarcasm in Yang Zhiyuan's sneer. He knew that he couldn't give in easily and had to use every opportunity to seize the initiative for himself.

“Director An, if you just want to understand the situation, you can do it here.

Fantasy Group's meeting rooms and conversation rooms are available at any time, so there is no need to go so far as a hotel.

Moreover, I believe you also understand that as the chairman of a listed company, if I am taken away for investigation, we must issue an announcement to the public.

This will have a significant impact on the company’s stock price and image, and it may be difficult to resolve the situation.”

His words revealed an unquestionable tough attitude, trying to use the company's interests and rules to counter the actions of the supervisory authorities.

But everyone also heard a hint of anxiety in these words.

"Director An, please understand that Fantasy Group is currently in a sensitive and critical period."

At this time, Yang Zhiyuan lowered his posture a little, and tried to persuade An Junyong.

“Any negative news could have an immeasurable impact on the company’s stability.

Please rest assured that I will always actively cooperate with the supervisory department, but at the same time, I also hope that the supervisory department can fully consider the possible negative impact of the action on the company and take measures to minimize these impacts. "

As he spoke, his voice gradually became firm.

Yang Zhiyuan was convinced that the supervisory authorities did not have any substantial evidence against him.

He believes that although his behavior may be controversial on a moral level, it does not involve serious crimes such as embezzlement and bribery.

What he was involved in was, at most, accepting local specialties as gifts from some suppliers and channel dealers. Although such behavior was inappropriate, it was far from reaching the level that required serious handling.

The only action that might be questioned was sending Zhi Liu to the hospital.

It was just an unfortunate accident and there were no serious consequences.

What's more, the person who bought the drugs was his mistress, and her father did have a heart disease and needed the drugs.

All the purchases were legal and reasonable, and he was not directly involved in the entire process, so he could claim that he knew nothing about it.

Therefore, you cannot be deceived by the supervisory authorities.

The so-called honest confession is to let you complete the evidence yourself. If the supervision really has sufficient evidence, it will not be a matter of "regulation" or "detention".

But directly 'detain'.

Yang Zhiyuan had a worried look on his face and his voice was a little heavy, as if he was under tremendous pressure.

“Director An, you know, as the chairman of a listed company, I shoulder the expectations and trust of thousands of shareholders.

If any word leaks out that the supervisory authorities have taken action against me, it will be a devastating blow to the company’s share price and market confidence.”

He paused and continued, "This is an important moment for the transformation and development of the Fantasy Group, and also a critical stage for the merger with the Yanhuang Group.

At this time, what the company needs is stability and confidence, not groundless suspicion and panic.”

After saying this, he pursed his lips, the corners of his lips twitched and he shook his head repeatedly, his eyes full of grief and anger.
“I know that the supervisory authorities have the duty to investigate and understand the situation.

But I urge you to consider the overall situation, the interests of the company, and not to believe unconfirmed reports.

I, Yang Zhiyuan, am an upright person and have never committed any act of corruption or abuse of power.

If the supervisory department needs to know anything, I am always willing to cooperate, but please proceed with caution to avoid causing unnecessary turmoil to the company. "

At this point, Yang Zhiyuan suddenly became agitated. He stood up abruptly and slapped the table with his palm, his voice filled with anger and injustice.

“You can’t wrongly accuse a good person like this! I have put so much effort into Fantasy Holdings and created so much tax revenue and employment for the country!
Are you going to treat me like this just because of some trumped-up charges? This is not fair!"

Yang Zhiyuan's performance was truly brilliant.

There was a flash of anger in his eyes, as if at this moment, all the grievances and dissatisfaction turned into flames of anger, burning fiercely.

That look and that posture were as if he was not the subject of the investigation, but was performing a one-man show against injustice.

In the eyes of the public, this is the image of a hero crying out for justice.

Every move he made and every word he said seemed carefully designed and full of drama.

It was as if he was standing center stage, with the spotlight shining behind him, and he was the misunderstood hero, speaking out for justice.

Other people in the conference room, some with blank expressions on their faces, some exchanging glances, seemed to be silently giving Yang Zhiyuan's performance scores in their hearts.

This scene is both funny and ironic, which makes people wonder whether this is a serious investigation or a carefully choreographed drama?

Yang Zhiyuan's anger seemed so real, but among the old foxes in this conference room, who didn't know that this was just a show?
If everyone didn't know that this was a completely unexpected situation, everyone would have given a thumbs up for this scene.

So the question is, if that's the case...

Everyone understood that the supervisory department did not have, or did not have complete, evidence against Yang Zhiyuan.

Otherwise, there would be no need for Yang Zhiyuan to act.

This is a confrontation in itself.

I have to say that Yang Zhiyuan’s acting is really good.

If the occasion was not wrong, some people would probably be moved by his aggrieved and angry look.

But at this moment everyone was even more confused.

So why is Guo Wei here?
Since it is impossible to completely defeat Yang Zhiyuan on the spot, this is not the best time for Guo Wei to appear.

But Guo Wei still showed up.

It is obvious that Guo Wei is here to ascend the throne today.

The most reasonable procedure is for the Director of the SASAC to take office with his team.

So now...

Everyone turned their eyes to Guo Wei.

At this time, Guo Wei stood with his hands behind his back, looking indifferent.

The pretentious look of this expert left everyone puzzled.

An Junyong watched Yang Zhiyuan's performance patiently with an expressionless face, as if he was enjoying a carefully choreographed drama.

Finally, he glanced at Yang Zhiyuan jokingly, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.
"Is the play over?"

These words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing ripples.

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense and complicated, and everyone was muttering to themselves, could it be that the supervisory department really has solid evidence?
Otherwise, how could An Junyong dare to be so... calm?
Yang Zhiyuan also looked at An Junyong in amazement.

He cast his gaze towards Bai Le who was standing next to Guo Wei in the conference room. His heart skipped a beat and he felt a little uneasy.

He realized that the game might no longer go according to the script he had expected.

However, Yang Zhiyuan was also puzzled at this moment.

What else can Bai Le do?

Bai Le had no evidence of what happened to Zhi Liu.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, An Junyong's smile was filled with a barely perceptible coldness.

His voice echoed in the conference room, full of playful meaning.
"Yang Zhiyuan, you won't give up until you reach the Yellow River, right?"

This sentence was like a slap in the face, hitting Yang Zhiyuan hard.

At this moment, An Junyong's voice suddenly increased, and his words were full of warnings and threats.
"We, the inspectors, intended to leave you with dignity. Since you don't want it, you can't blame us."

After saying that, An Junyong took out an amplifier from his bag and slowly pressed the play button.

"Xiaobai, I don't want to give my shares to Zhao Linghuan..."

The voice coming out of the recorder was clear and cold. It was the full recording of Yang Zhiyuan and Bai Le's conspiracy to frame Zhao Linghuan a few days ago.

The conference room suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Yang Zhiyuan, with shock and confusion in their eyes.

What is shocking is that Yang Zhiyuan is so bold.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows what happened with Zhao Linghuan.

The recording at this time only confirms the matter.

However, in this matter, Yang Zhiyuan was not even charged with incitement.

Zhao Linghuan's behavior of going to the bath center to find a lady is a typical example of "the iron is not hard enough to forge steel", and his own work style is not correct.

The whistleblower is a passionate citizen with an overflowing sense of justice.

In ancient times, there was a practice of framing colleagues, but this does not exist in modern times. Modern law focuses on judging by actions rather than intentions.

Moreover, just with a recording that is not even worth mentioning, he wants to bring down a chairman of a state-owned enterprise...

Isn't this just nonsense?
and so……

Yang Zhiyuan was not panicked at all after hearing this. He just looked coldly at Bai Le who had a blank expression on his face.

A trace of anger and contempt flashed in his eyes, and he cursed: "Bai Le, you are a traitor. I have treated you well, and you dare to frame me?"

At this moment, Yang Zhiyuan felt relieved.

There was no way to resolve the issue peacefully today, and he was still aware of this.

But the good news is that the supervision department actually has no solid evidence.

He finally understood it.

All of this was nothing more than that bastard Qing Yun trying to take me down directly through administrative power.

Just like what Qiao Jian said at the beginning, "The truth is not important, what is important is the interpretation of public opinion", what Qing Yun probably wanted was for Fantasy Group to issue an announcement to the market that Yang Zhiyuan was in jail.

And then this guy will release some news, and with this combination of strength and weakness, Shenzhou Digital's estimates will soar again.

Now that you understand this, the response becomes simple.

As long as you keep your mouth shut, the inspectors won't be able to do anything to you.

While cursing and joking, Yang Zhiyuan was also calculating frantically in his mind.

As long as this scene turns into a farce, and as long as the inspectorate cannot produce a detention order, I will have to fight for this matter.

Bai Le on the other side just smiled when he heard this. There was no trace of guilt in his eyes. He just said lightly,
"Boss Yang, you misunderstood. I am not making false accusations. I am just a caring citizen."

His voice was calm and indifferent, as if he was narrating a fact that had nothing to do with him.

As if he had seen through Yang Zhiyuan's intentions, Bai Le changed the subject.

"Boss Yang, my business is not worth mentioning, please don't waste everyone's time.

You are like a clay Buddha crossing the river, so you'd better protect yourself first.

Take my advice, don't struggle, it's unnecessary."
