Super Rich from Winning a Lottery-Chapter 302 - 221: Refusing to Give Face to Anyone

Chapter 302: Chapter 221: Refusing to Give Face to Anyone

It’s really quite difficult to completely prevent these issues from arising.

The Group’s upper management cannot possibly interfere with each and every detail of the subsidiaries as long as the company’s operations are normal, the company’s finances are in order, and the accounts balance; they typically won’t intervene in the detailed management of the subsidiary’s production workshops.

As for interpersonal relationships, they are unavoidable anywhere, but for a department to directly embezzle the benefits of over 2000 employees, misappropriate the overproduction bonuses, and the scrap reduction bonuses, this is no small issue and cannot be ignored.

Moreover, the amount involved is not negligible, especially in the case of the department’s operations manager. If he took half for himself, the embezzled amount could easily be millions.

Embezzling millions in one year, in a few years it would be tens of millions.

The smoking break passed quickly, and once the time was up, a bell would ring, followed by a security guard urging the people to leave.

Yi Anguo glanced roughly, noticing that although it was said to be a 10-minute smoking break, it was actually half an hour. However, most people would leave after finishing their cigarettes in about 10 minutes.

But there were also some sly ones, who would come first and leave last.

Yi Anguo, in his heart, didn’t really agree with having a 10-minute smoking break; these 10 minutes would be better spent on workplace exercises.

And the 10-minute smoking break wasn’t in every department; for instance, in the cleanroom, even going to the bathroom required a leave permit.

Additionally, entering and leaving the cleanroom involved security checks, and changing into cleanroom attire was cumbersome. It was impossible for everyone to have 10 minutes for a smoke.

Plus, some men don’t smoke, and it’s rare for women to smoke. These people continue working in the workshop, which is really unfair to them.

But for most male employees, working a four-hour shift without a cigarette could be quite a struggle.

So, while Yi Anguo wasn’t supportive in his heart, he didn’t oppose the 10-minute smoking break every two hours.

Leaving the smoking area, Yi Anguo suddenly felt a bit unwell in his stomach and headed towards the R&D department to find the public restroom. He had just squatted down when he heard someone come in, followed by the sound of two people talking.

"Have you heard? After our team successfully completed the last technical research project, the company approved a one-million bonus, but we only received six hundred thousand," a male voice said.

"Isn’t that normal? Six hundred thousand is already a lot. If they gave it all to us, what would the leadership do, live on air?" a female voice replied.

"But that’s too much, isn’t it? Our entire team only got six hundred thousand, how many people are above us?" the male voice retorted.

"It’s not just our team; other teams probably faced the same situation. Who knows how much those leaders make in a year?"

"We work overtime diligently, tackling technological challenges, while the leaders above follow a strict 8-hour schedule with weekends off, living comfortably while earning the most,"

"What else can you do? If you have the capability, aim for a leadership position too; you can earn more and don’t have to work as hard," the female voice said.

"The more I think about it, the more pointless it seems. It’s no wonder many people don’t want to return to develop here; it’s completely unreasonable how much effort we put in compared to what we get back," the male voice complained.

"Do you think overseas jobs don’t have leadership deductions? It’s the same everywhere," the female voice noted.

"As long as you’re working domestically, earning as much as overseas with comparable benefits, why concern yourself with so much else?"

"That’s easy to say, but it’s unsettling. Aren’t they afraid we’ll report this to the Group? Wouldn’t the Chairman intervene if he knew?" the male voice questioned.

"If they’re doing it so brazenly, they must not fear being reported," the female voice responded.

"The Chairman isn’t someone you can just meet on a whim. Besides, how do you know what kind of connections they have with the Chairman?"

"If their backing is strong, perhaps even the Chairman, reporting might be futile. If the higher-ups know you complained to the Chairman, will you be able to enjoy your job in the future?"

"Unless you’ve decided to leave domestically and return to the US, then you could try reporting to the Chairman,"

...

After the two left, Yi Anguo emerged, feeling quite displeased. The people below really were voracious, daring to take any money they wanted.

Even reaching for the research project bonuses meant for scientific personnel was outrageous, no wonder talent cannot be retained domestically.

By casually strolling around today, he had discovered numerous issues below.

It seemed in the future, he would need to frequently visit the grassroots levels of the subsidiaries to discover these problems.

The Group’s anti-corruption and anti-embezzlement efforts must be intensified; otherwise, no matter how profitable the Group is, it will eventually be hollowed out by these parasites.

After his return, Yi Anguo did not immediately seek out Huaxing Company’s Vice President for questioning but instead carried out a work inspection as originally planned.

However, after leaving Huaxing Company, Yi Anguo immediately returned to the Group headquarters and convened a senior management meeting.

During the meeting, Yi Anguo announced the establishment of two new departments by headquarters: the Anti-Corruption and Integrity Department, and the Group Inspection Department.

Yi Anguo personally took on the role of Minister of Inspection Department, with the Group’s Audit Director, Monitoring Department Director, and Legal Director serving as Deputy Ministers, and the Group President Zhou Mengdie as the Executive Minister.

The Inspection Department established an inspection team, consisting of elite personnel from the Group’s Audit Department, Monitoring Department, Legal Department, to form a joint inspection group, conducting investigations and collecting evidence at grassroots company levels, and thoroughly investigating all company leadership involved in corruption.

For any acts involving law violations and corruption, the Legal Department will handle them according to the law, with major cases being reported for further handling where necessary, while minor cases will be managed internally.

This time, Yi Anguo was truly serious about taking action.

The Group issued a document to all company employees, encouraging them to report and expose any law violators within the companies. The company promised to provide confidentiality, and in cases where evidence is presented, significant rewards will be given once the facts are verified.

When the anti-corruption document was passed around to the employees of various companies, it caused a massive upheaval within the entire Group. Many frontline workers appeared very excited.

The Inspection Department installed suggestion boxes in all subsidiaries, receiving a substantial number of complaint letters in just a few days, some even containing detailed evidence. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

The Joint Inspection Group dispatched a large number of inspectors to conduct thorough investigations of the reported crimes.

Concurrent with this, Anguo Group also sought cooperation and support from local police and various enforcement departments, capturing numerous violators as soon as the evidence was confirmed.

No company or enterprise is above the law. Corruption within private enterprises is equally a crime, subject to arrest if proven.

For those company executives who came to plea for leniency, Yi Anguo outright refused, showing no leniency for anyone regardless of status.

Yi Anguo believed he never mistreated any company executive; given their high salaries, if they still want more, driven by greed, then they can’t blame him for being ruthless.

If they return all the embezzled funds, perhaps he could consider leniency. Otherwise, they’d better be ready to rot in jail.

While Yi Anguo was enjoying some quiet time at home, Liang Song came to visit.

Liang Song was the Vice President of Huaxin Integrated Circuit Company, and effectively the acting CEO. Yi Anguo couldn’t simply disregard him and refuse a meeting.
