He saw one of Wang Shulan's hands pressing on Tao Ping's crotch, holding something tightly.
Li Ji thought it was because he was dazzled and saw something wrong; he quickly calmed down and looked again carefully.
That's right, it's Wang Shulan's hand!
It’s Mr. Tao’s crotch! That towering mass.
For a moment, Li Ji's mind seemed to be much clearer. He took a few deep breaths, his heart pounding.
He slowly raised his head to the table.
Everyone was drinking and chatting, and no one paid special attention to him.
Li Ji took a sip of hot tea and felt better.
He put his elbows on the table, held his face in his hands, and peeked through his fingers.
Tao Ping and Wang Shulan were chatting and laughing with others, as if nothing happened at all.
Just listen to Tao Ping say:
"...My husband is going on a business trip for half a year. Before leaving, my wife affectionately handed her husband a pack of condoms and said, 'If you really can't bear it outside, remember to wear condoms.' After hearing this, my husband was excited. Said: 'If your family is not well off, let's use theirs'..."
"Hahaha!" Wang Shulan laughed so hard that she couldn't help but hit Tao Ping's chest with her fist, "Old leader, you are making me laugh so hard... Hahaha..."
Tao Ping sat upright with a serious look on his face; but after a moment, he raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth to laugh.
Wang Shulan stepped forward and moved closer, her mouth almost touching Tao Ping's face.
She quietly stretched her hand under the table, pinched Tao Ping's thigh, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Damn ghost..."
Tao Ping trembled, grabbed Wang Shulan's hand, and pressed it on his crotch.
Wang Shulan's breathing became heavy, her lips were pressed against Tao Ping's ear, her face was so red that it looked like it was bleeding, "That loser of mine hasn't come back yet, tonight..."
Tao Ping nodded slightly, straightened his face, took the wine glass, and shouted to Li Ji: "Xiao Li, come on! Let's have another drink!"
When Li Ji heard Tao Ping calling his name, he hurriedly removed his hand and opened his eyes with great effort: "Come! President Tao, let's drink!"
Before he could stand up, Li Ji swayed and swept the wine glass down with his arm. Fortunately, the waitress next to me was quick and quickly grabbed the wine glass in her arms.
"Look, Xiao Li drank a little too much..." Wang Shulan chuckled.
"Not much,...not much...I, I can still drink...drinking with the leader, how can there be too much..."
Li Ji muttered and grabbed someone's wine glass on the table. His hand trembled and he raised it to his mouth.
The wine glass tilted and most of the wine inside spilled out.
Li Ji's body went limp and he lay on the table, retching repeatedly.
Tao Ping smiled and put down his wine glass.
But after a while, Li Ji couldn't help it anymore; he rushed into the bathroom and vomited all at once.
Li Ji squatted on the ground, pressed his hands on the toilet, and calmed down. He felt much more comfortable and his head was no longer so dizzy.
He washed his face twice with cold water, rested against the door for a while, and then returned to the room.
I asked the waiter for a cup of hot tea and drank it slowly.
Look at the watch, it's almost ten o'clock.
Over there, Chen Donglin and a few others were drinking heavily. As if they didn't feel like they were having enough fun, they even started punching each other, shouting and drinking, and it was very lively.
Tao Ping and Wang Shulan didn't know what they were talking about, and their heads almost touched each other. Wang Shulan let out a burst of girlish laughter from time to time.
Li Ji squinted his eyes and leaned on the chair, looking drowsy. In fact, he did drink too much and was drunk.
At this time, the mobile phone in the bag vibrated.
Li Ji thought, this must be because Liao Ying was worried and called to ask.
He took out his phone and saw that it was Wan Daming.
Li Ji stood up in a hurry, pulled out his chair, and walked to the corridor outside.
"The trading company may have a bigger problem..."
Wan Daming didn't talk nonsense, he got straight to the point and got to the point.
Li Ji couldn't help being surprised and looked around hurriedly.
Although it was very late, there were still many people coming and going in the aisles. Except for the waiters who were busy going back and forth, some people seemed to have just arrived.
Li Ji heard someone say that there is a nightclub in the Haitian Hotel, which is said to be the best in Fengcheng and has a good reputation. Many of them may come here for this.
People pass by from time to time, with chaotic footsteps and constant voices. Fortunately, no one paid attention to him.
Li Ji covered his phone with one hand, walked quickly to the hall, and found a quiet corner where no one was.
"...A large part of the account books was burned, and the backup of the computer data is still complete, basically all... However, it seems that it is all normal business, and there is no problem at the moment... ....”
Li Ji pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
"...If there is anything wrong, it is that trading companies often import computers and electronic equipment from abroad, and the amount is very large each time..." Wan Daming pondered, "But the group is concentrated and large. The bulk purchase of these things was still when the group was preparing to go public and upgrade its accounting information system, but that had already been five or six years..."
"In the past few years, the group has also had demand for computers and electronic equipment, but the quantities are not large. Basically, the purchasing department purchases them directly from domestic manufacturers and has never entrusted a trading company...
"Why do trading companies import computers and electronic equipment on such a large scale? If these things are not used by the group, where do they go?..."
Wan Daming seemed full of questions.
Li Ji suddenly remembered that when he looked at the accounts of Haitian Da Company, there was a record of payment to Wanhao Trading Company. The purpose of the money was to pay for computers and electronic equipment.
Could it be that all the computers and electronic equipment imported by Wanhao Trading Company were given to Haitian Company?
But why doesn't Haitianda Company's sales revenue include such a large amount of corresponding payments for electronics and electronic equipment?
What's so tricky about this?
"smuggling?!"
These two words suddenly popped into Li Ji's mind, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
impossible.
Totally impossible.
Smuggling is a violation of the criminal law, and the liability is serious. No matter how stupid Wan Cheng is, he would never do such a fatal thing.
That's not as simple as one or two years. If it doesn't go well, even if you don't lose your head, I'm afraid you'll have to sit in jail for the rest of your life.
"Also, that Assistant Xiao is a little strange..."
Li Jizheng was thinking when Wan Daming suddenly changed the topic.
"...You did a good job, suddenly resigned, and then disappeared..."
"Where are you missing?" Li Ji was stunned.
"Well," Wan Daming pondered, "At that time, she told the people in the human resources department whether she wanted to go back to her hometown, get married, or work... But not long ago, I asked someone to follow the family information she filled in when she joined the company. Find her at her address; not only was she nowhere to be found, but even the address was fake..."
"Ah?" Li Ji was stunned.
At this point, Wan Daming paused and let out a few wry smiles: "That place turned out to be a slaughterhouse..."
Depend on! Is Assistant Xiao a pig butcher?
Li Ji shook his head.
"Your sister-in-law told me that Assistant Xiao is hooking up with Wan Cheng, which is a bit unclear..." Wan Daming hesitated for a moment and continued, "...I don't know the truth about this. Fake...I don't want to know either...
"Hey, we old guys don't understand what you young people are doing... Wan Cheng and Zhu Hui... Hey, these two kids..."
Wan Daming's voice was choked, and Li Ji heard the sound of sniffing.
He felt sad for a while, but his mind was heavy after drinking, and he couldn't think of the right words to comfort the old man in a hurry.
"...However, Assistant Xiao is involved in many things that Wan Cheng does. I heard that people in the trading company call her 'boss lady' behind their back..."
Although it cannot be said that "beauties are a disaster"; but "since ancient times, heroes have always had trouble with beauties", which should be good.
Think of King Wu Fu Chai, Lu Bu of the Three Kingdoms, and Wu Sangui of the Qing Dynasty. Which one was not defeated by a woman?
Wan Cheng also "just made the same mistake that all men in the world make".
"Uncle Wan, are you looking for this Assistant Xiao?"
"I don't have to find her..." Wan Daming paused and thought, "It's just that it's just a matter of the trading company. I think this Assistant Xiao may know a lot of inside information..."
Li Ji bit his lip and frowned.
There was a vague feeling in his heart.
Li Ji felt more and more that there must be something hidden behind Wanhao Trading Company that was unknown, unwilling, and difficult for others to know.
"The Financing Department and the Finance Department have roughly calculated that the trading company may still have at least 80 million in funds that have not been returned to the group; but now it has no money at all in its account...
"But fortunately, the current financial situation of the group has been greatly alleviated; as long as you want the 100 million loan, I can give it to you this month...
"From this month to the beginning of next month, the group will receive at least more than 400 million in funds; I no longer have to go around begging grandpa to sue grandma, like a beggar..."
There was finally a hint of joy in Wan Daming's voice.
"But, with such a huge sum of money, where did the trading company do it?"
Wan Daming suddenly raised his voice.
"Also, Wan Cheng's death..."
Wan Daming stopped, and his heavy breathing could be heard through the receiver.
Li Ji's heart suddenly tightened.
"...I think,...I don't think it can be as simple as depression..."
Li Ji was about to speak when he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him. Looking back, it turned out that Fang Yuan had found him.
"Uncle Wan, I'm eating out, it's not convenient right now," Li Ji lowered his voice, "They came out to call me. I'll call you when they get back..."
"It's okay, there's no need to call..." Wan Daming's voice became mute for some reason, "Uncle is just worried and wants to find someone caring to talk to..."
Li Ji's eyes were hot and he was silent.
Several heavy sighs came from the receiver, followed by a "beep beep" busy tone.
"President Li, why did you come here?"
Fang Yuan had already seen Li Ji and walked over unsteadily as he staggered.
"I, I answered the phone..."
Li Ji put away his phone and smiled.
"Go back quickly, President Tao is still waiting for you to go back and drink!"
Fang Yuan held Li Ji's shoulders, his breathing was heavy, his mouth was full of the smell of alcohol, and his eyes were red.
"Still drinking!"
Li Ji's eyes almost fell to the ground.
Fang Yuan didn't answer, he just grabbed Li Ji's arm and pulled him back.
Li Ji hurriedly broke away, put a false hand on Fang Yuan's shoulder, and the two returned to the room together.
The mist drifted away in the private room, and the choking smell of smoke was everywhere.
"Xiao Li, come on! Let's have another drink!"
When Tao Ping saw Li Ji coming in, before he could sit firmly, he took his hand off the back of Wang Shulan's chair and picked up the wine glass.
Li Ji had no choice but to refuse; he had no choice but to stand up, grinning, and pick up the wine glass.
Fortunately, it was a small cup this time; and I only drank two.
Tao Ping was obviously no longer as cold as he was at the beginning. He was friendly and affectionate towards Li Ji, and seemed to be back to his old self.
But Li Ji knew in his heart that he would never go back to the past.
Because, there is no "past" between them.
Li Ji put down his wine glass and sat down to take a breath, when he saw Chen Donglin walking over holding a wine glass in one hand and a wine bottle in the other.
"President Li, haven't we had any drinks yet?"
Chen Donglin's face was red and his ears were red, and he smelled of alcohol.
"Ah?" Li Ji immediately had a headache, "President Chen, haven't we had several rounds of drinking?"
"Then, that doesn't count!"
Chen Donglin shook his head like a rattle and sprayed the bomb-defusing star particles into Li Ji's face.
"Doesn't count?!"
Li Ji's head was full of questions.
"yes!"
Chen Donglin put the wine bottle on the table and almost tipped it over.
Li Ji quickly stretched out his hand to support him. But he didn't expect that he had drunk too much, his feet were numb, his body was swaying, and he subconsciously hugged Chen Donglin.
Chen Donglin tilted his head and stretched his hot mouth straight towards Li Ji's face.
A stinky smell of alcohol hit my nose.
Li Ji felt nauseous and almost vomited; so he quickly let go and fell down on the chair.
"Hahaha!"
There was a burst of laughter all around.
"President Chen is going to be intimate with President Li!..."
"Ha ha!"
"Together with!"
I don't know who shouted, and the laughter became even louder.
Li Ji felt embarrassed and a little angry.
In front of everyone, it was inconvenient for him to have an attack, so he had to raise his glass: "Come on, Mr. Chen! Tell me how much you want to drink!"
"President Li is still happy!"
Someone clapped their hands.
Chen Donglin looked righteous and solemn: "President Li, let's make it clear..."
"Say it!"
Li Ji glanced sideways at Chen Donglin.
"...The wine I drank before was, welcome wine,...you are a guest..."
Chen Donglin shook his head, his tongue was so big.
"...Now, you, you are already... from the Chengdong Branch of Cheng... Chengdong Branch; we, as comrades in the trenches,... .Now, drink one seriously now!..."
Chen Donglin was out of breath and coughed several times.
Li Ji was speechless.
Brother, I don’t even support the wall, I just obey you.
He remembered the joke they told.
There are five stages of drinking: the virgin stage, where you must be careful and guarded; the young woman stage, where you are half-promising and half-adherent; the prime-age stage, when everything is not enough; the widow stage, where I come to fight with you; and the old lady stage, when you can’t do it, you still cheat.
This Chen Donglin has reached the "widow stage" and is very hungry and thirsty. He is dying.
At this moment, Li Ji's stubbornness also rose.
He didn't say a word. Chen Donglin poured the wine, and he drank it as soon as he picked it up. One meal at a time, not even a morsel of food.
After drinking eight glasses of wine, Chen Donglin fell down first. It fell on the table and no one could pull it up.
Li Jiqiang supported himself.
But after eight glasses of wine, my stomach, which had just felt better, was burning again.
It was Tao Ping who smoothed things over.
He glanced at everyone and then at Wang Shulan: "I think it's almost done. How about this being the case today?"
Wang Shulan nodded: "Okay, let's stop here."
Li Ji breathed a sigh of relief and picked up his bag.
He turned around, pulled out the chair, and just stepped out when he heard Wang Shulan say: "Don't leave in a hurry, tonight's show hasn't started yet!"
And there are programs?
Li Ji stopped.
