###Chapter 34 New Thorny Projects

"Haven't we always worked well with the AC? Why did you suddenly change the audit company? " Kian asked cautiously, puzzled, "Moreover, the credit audit has not been established long ago, it is a small company, Astley's huge capital chain to them, in case something happens, it will be in trouble."

Without answering Kian's cautious words, Jordan looked at me and said, "Go and take a look at these materials and find Kyle if you have any questions."

After receiving the materials, I didn't say much, but I had the same worries as Kian. After a pause, I still said, "Mr. Astley, I was in charge of construction before. Samson's Electronics is an electronic technology company. I haven't been in contact with the company's audit before. Kyle has been responsible for these things all the time, so let him continue to do his responsibilities."

Jordan threw a pair of his black eyes at me, and frowned. " Mrs. Astley, do you understand your duties and responsibilities as the director?"

I was astounded. I looked at him and nodded, "I know, but."

"There is no but since you are sitting in the position of director and as an alternate shareholder of the company, you have the right to be familiar with every section of the company."

With that, he looked at Kian and began to explain the task.

I took the information, and I knew in my heart that I couldn't get rid of it, and this time the workload was not as big as usual.

When I went back to my own office, I called Kyle and asked him to arrange it as much as possible. During this period, I paid attention to Samson's Electronics market. It is estimated that we will be busy in a few days.

Just the company's audit, I just went to the finance department to check, and the company audit has already begun.

Timothy Coleman, the person in charge of the finance department, handed me all the accounts and documents and said, "Mrs. Astley, please take a look, all the accounts are here at present, and this year's audit will be added to Mr. Hastings' side, so the workload will be relatively large. What Mr. Astley means is that he wants to hand over this year's audit to the credit department."

I flipped through the ledger, nodded, and suddenly had a headache and said, "OK, I know. I'll take a look at it first. Also, please help me sort out a copy of the AC audit data from the previous years."

"I understand."

After confessing, I went back to the office with the information. Kyle was busy and saw me banging myself in a stack of account books and said, "Mrs. Astley, Mr. Lucas Flynn, president of AC, just called and said he wanted to meet you."

For the things that are linked to money, it is estimated that if AC and Astley end their cooperation, they will lose several million dollars. No wonder he is anxious to see me, but since Jordan is unwilling to cooperate with him, there may be something I don't quite understand. I can't continue to deal with this Lucas Flynn.

Looking at Kyle, I said, "Just tell him I don't have enough time to talk and to meet them right now. Also, please contact the president of Credit for me. I want to see, and you send me the companies that have been audited in recent years."

"Sure, Mrs. Astley!" When Kyle left, I was buried in a group of numbers.

Busy until the afternoon, I sat for a long time with my backs aching. I was so tired that I got up and left the office and saw that the office area was empty.

I picked up a cup of coffee and went back to the office to order takeout. It seems that I have to stay in the office and continue to work overtime tonight.

"Aren't you ready to go back?" A voice came from the cold door. I was shocked. I looked up and saw that it was Brad Silverman.

Can't help laughing, "You haven't left yet, have you?"

He smiled and handed me the lunch box in his hand. "This is hot of Chef Dennis's new pot, which is also good for your health," he said.

I was surprised and looked at him and said, "Thank you!"

Originally, there was nothing between them. I thought he would leave when he put down things. Unexpectedly, he was still standing. I couldn't find a topic to talk to him for a while, so I just kept silent.

"Did he leave it to you to do the audit of the company this year?" He said as he took a seat, still looking at me.

I nodded. "Hmm!" I'm not familiar with this area. And I'm having a headache."

He nodded and seemed to agree, "This year is just a year after the company went public, and there is a huge difference between this year's audit from the previous years. If there is a slight mistake, the company's stock will plummet, and many companies will go bankrupt because of the annual audit."

He said seriously, I stopped my work and looked at him carefully, he continued, "And this year has changed the audit company, so you have to be very careful in your work."

It's a reminder. I know.

"Jordan knew well that auditing was not my strong suit, so why did he give it to me?" If something goes wrong, the price will be the whole Astley. The risk is too great. I don't understand Jordan Astley's intention.

He sat up upright, looked at me, and said, "if you do this well, Grandpa Asley's shares left in your name will be officially transferred to your name. You will have the right to use and control, and you will become a partner in the company apart from being a director."

After a pause, he fixed his clothes and continued, "but if you screw up, the Astley will have an accident, and you may face the risk of leaving Astley Company completely."

I frowned and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Will Jordan use the whole Astley to gamble with me? Or...

I didn't continue to think about it. I closed the account book in my hand, opened the hot he brought, and looked at him, and said, "I took over Samson's Electronics' case. Also, why did Jordan want me to pay attention to Samson's movements?"

Brad frowned slightly and seemed to be thinking. "In the first half of the year, Samson's Electronics was acquired by the Astley because the capital chain was broken, and this early management has always been cautious, and now it is up to you to do it. It may be prudent to say that you want you to get in touch with more new technologies. After all, there are policies. Next, the state will support the development of the Internet and electronic technology companies. Most of Astley's industries may be in new technologies in the future. I probably want you to get familiar with it in advance."

After a pause, he continued, "As for the Samson's, it may be prudent to say that there are plans to buy Samson's Electronics in the later stage. If you pay attention to it, you may want to see his later development."

I nodded and took a few sips of soup, which seemed really good. I looked at him and said, "Thank you for your care during this time."

He smiled and got up to leave.

"Are you going back?" I opened my mouth and looked out at the dark sky.

He said, "There's another game tonight. I got to go now."

I nodded, feeling a little disappointed. I thought we could have a midnight snack sometime.

Seeing that he was gone, I drank a hot drink and continued to read the information for a while, until I couldn't stand it anymore.

When I got on the bus, Maisie called before I started the car.

After looking at the time, it was already ten o'clock. When she picked up the phone, she was the first to say, "Baby, where do you think I am now?"

Listening to her tone, I thought about it and said, "Hempstead!"

"Fuck!" She broke into a sentence, "Miss Mrs. Astley, you are so boring that you have no interest at all."

When I heard what she said, I probably guessed. I smiled at the phone and said, "it's not the first day you know me. Have you found the right storefront?"
