Chapter 4719: No Face

Lin Yi made a gesture of invitation, "Please sit down."

There was no one else in the office, and Meng Xudong felt a little nervous facing Lin Yi.

He had never been alone with Lin Yi, but he had seen him from afar when Lin Yi came to the company.

At that time, I just felt that he was very heroic, and his every move revealed a strong confidence.

And now, staying alone with him, Meng Xudong felt pressured. This man's aura was too strong, which made people unconsciously nervous.

"looking for me?"

"Mr. Lin, due to some personal reasons, I can no longer continue to work in the group, so I submitted my resignation application this morning, but you did not approve it, so I wanted to talk to you about this matter."

"I know all about your situation. You used to be the head of the vehicle division and your work was going well. You have made an indelible contribution to the rapid development of the vehicle business. Is it because I asked Mr. Tian to be in charge of the vehicle business that you felt uneasy?"

"No, no, Mr. Lin, please don't misunderstand. I plan to resign because of my personal problems. In fact, I don't want to leave the Lingyun Group, but things have come to this point, and I have no choice but to make this decision."

Lin Yi crossed his legs, leaned back in his chair and looked at Meng Xudong.

"Is it because I came back and started investigating internal corruption that you don't want to do it anymore?"

Meng Xudong's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect Lin Yi to say this so bluntly.

"Boss Lin, I don't quite understand what you mean."

"It's okay if you don't understand. I'll find someone to make you understand. The audit department is reviewing some of the situations since you took office, and now there are preliminary results. I was planning to keep you for a few more days, but you came to me directly, and you even wanted to run away, so I can only make things clear to you in advance."

"Mr. Lin, you misunderstood. I didn't do anything. You are doing this to show your lack of trust in me." Meng Xudong said excitedly.

"This is not your decision. Besides, the audit department has already found out everything. Do you think it's meaningful to talk about this?"

Meng Xudong panicked. Facing Lin Yi and the things he had done in the past, he really didn't know what to do.

"Boss Lin, I want to call my uncle, is that okay?"

"Of course, but I don't think it makes any sense." Lin Yi's expression was calm and there was no relaxation. He said:

"Your uncle is Li Chuntong, right? I know his identity very well. His existence has no impact on me. Of course, if you don't believe in it, you can give him a call. I don't mind."

Meng Xudong was even more dumbfounded.

I thought he didn't know his uncle's situation, so he said this, but I didn't expect he knew everything.

"Mr. Lin, there's no need to do this. If the group's vehicle business is to be implemented in the future, it will still require relevant procedures and approvals. Isn't it better for us to get along and make money?"

"People like you were recruited, appointed as senior executives and given a high salary because of your uncle. I have given him face, but your behavior is a bit shameless. Do you really think that you can do whatever you want here just because you have some connections?"

"As for your uncle, don't treat him as a lifeline. No matter whose face you use, I won't give it to you. Just wait for notification and cooperate with the investigation."

Lin Yi's words cut off all of Meng Xudong's thoughts, and his expression was not as good as before.

"I still need to call my uncle. Can Mr. Lin give me a few minutes?"

"Of course, whatever you want."

Meng Xudong walked out with a cold face. Lin Yi was not in a hurry and just waited for him here.

After coming out of Lin Yi's office and finding a deserted place, Meng Xudong called his uncle and said in a panic:

"Uncle, the group knows that I took kickbacks. President Lin is back and plans to deal with this matter seriously. What should I do now?"

"Is the CEO Lin you mentioned the founder of your group?"

"Yes, it's him. He came back recently to handle the company's business and started investigating the company's corruption. He also sent the group's vice president to the vehicle division. He just laid it out with me and made it clear that he was planning to deal with me. What should I do?"

"Okay, give me his phone number and I'll talk to him."

Li Chuntong was very calm. In this industry, taking kickbacks was a very normal thing.

Although Lingyun Group has a very high position in the chip field, they are still a novice in the automotive industry.

If you want to take this path, you naturally have to pay some tuition.

"I don't have his phone number. I'll go back now and he'll be in the office. You can talk to him."

"also."

Meng Xudong turned back to the office and handed over the phone with a smile, "Boss Lin, my uncle asked you to answer the phone."

Lin Yi picked up the call, turned on the speaker, and threw the phone on the desk.

"You must be Li Chuntong, right? Just tell me what you want from me."

Meng Xudong's face changed. He thought that as Lin Yi's uncle, he would be polite after receiving his call. He didn't expect that he would be so nonchalant. It seemed that he didn't take his uncle seriously at all!

"Mr. Lin, regarding my nephew's affairs, he did something wrong in some aspects, and there may be some misunderstandings. When are you free? I happen to be planning to go on a business trip to Zhonghai recently. We can have a meal together and talk about your vehicle business. As a leader in the semiconductor industry, Lingyun Group's car manufacturing business is attracting the attention of the entire industry. I also hope that you can build a disruptive car."

"I may not have time to meet you. If you want to talk, you can make an appointment with our group's president and vice president. They should be available. Secondly, there will be no misunderstandings about this matter. Everything has been investigated. The next step is to audit and verify the data to see how much kickbacks were taken. It will be pointless for you to try to smooth things over."

Meng Xudong was stunned after hearing this, and his whole body felt numb.

He thought that since his uncle had come forward, Lin Yi would definitely give him some face and work out a compromise, but he didn't expect that he still had this attitude.

Li Chuntong on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time, then he spoke:

"Boss Lin, if you say that, it's really disrespectful. We are in the same industry, and your vehicle business will have some procedures in the future that need to be handled here. Why bother? At most, I can ask him to return the money to you. There's really no need to do this."

"Haha, if you dare to do anything in this regard, you will be in trouble soon."
