Chapter 732 Relieve Me Of My Position
They reckoned that perhaps even Jennifer was involved in that scheme.
With such solid evidence presented before him, logically, Winslow should have knelt and beggedJennifer for forgiveness at that point.
Unexpectedly, after sensing everyone's gaze on him, Winslow looked at Amelia innocently as if he hadjust woken up.
“I'm sorry, Ms. Ellis. I'm getting old and hard of hearing. What did you say? Could you please repeat it?”
Taking in his reaction, Amelia suppressed the burning rage in her chest and reiterated, “Mr. Moore,there are problems with the accounts of the first-tier projects, and all the issues are related toconstruction materials. As the director in charge of procuring construction materials, shouldn't youprovide us with a reasonable explanation?”
“What? There are problems with the group's construction materials?” Winslow then turned to Jennifer.“Ms. Wilson, I've been out of town inspecting new projects recently. You should be aware of this. So,I've delegated full authority to my assistant, Tinsor Bogdon, to supervise the procurement ofconstruction materials for the first-tier projects. That's why I'm quite unfamiliar with the data Ms. Ellispresented. Why don't I ask my assistant what exactly is going on?”
With that, Winslow took out his phone and dialed Tinsor's number.
Not long after, the door to the conference room was pushed open, and Tinsor entered. “You wanted tosee me, Mr. Moore?”novelbin
Winslow pointed at the financial report on the slides and said, “These are the financial reports Ms.Amelia Ellis acquired from the project departments. She mentioned there are issues with the pricing ofthe construction materials. Take a look at them.”
The smile on Tinsor's face froze after he heard Winslow's question.
He stared at the figures on the slide and broke out in a cold sweat as if someone had cast a body-binding spell on him.
Winslow picked up his glass of coffee and took a sip. He uttered calmly, “Tinsor, what exactlyhappened? Can you give us an answer?”
Thump!
Right after Winslow finished his sentence, Tinsor knelt on the floor.
“I'm sorry, Mr. Moore. I'm sorry, Ms. Wilson. This is all my doings. I lost my rationality andmisappropriated the company's funds for procuring construction materials.”
Winslow arched his brow in displeasure. “Tinsor, what are you doing? Stand up and speak. Tell mewhat you have done.”
Tinsor shuddered all over in fear as he replied, “Mr. Moore, I've betrayed your trust. Several owners ofconstruction material companies approached me privately and requested I use their products. Althoughtheir materials were about twenty-five percent more expensive than the market price, they promised mekickbacks, so I—”
Winslow wrapped his mind around the situation and asked Tinsor grimly, “How much have youreceived?”
“T-Thirty million.”
All the directors inside the conference room gasped in unison.
Although they had anticipated the amount to be significant, they were still astounded after hearingTinsor mention the astonishing sum of thirty million. A mere director's assistant could receive thirtymillion in kickbacks? Who would believe something as ridiculous as this?
Amelia also fathomed that was Winslow's plan to sacrifice his assistant to preserve himself. She grittedher teeth and said to Jennifer, “Ms. Wilson, Tinsor couldn't have accomplished this alone. Mr. Moorehas to affix his signature on each procurement agreement for our group's construction materials, sothere's no way he's ignorant of these matters!”
Winslow immediately got to his feet and addressed Jennifer, “Ms. Wilson, this problem stemmed frommy negligence at work. I placed too much trust in Tinsor, so I didn't evaluate these companies in-depth.After Tinsor told me there were no issues with those agreements, I didn't scrutinize them and just gavehim the green light by signing the documents. I wish to take this opportunity to apologize to all myfellow directors. I also humbly request you relieve me of my position in this regard and let someoneelse take over my duties, Ms. Wilson.”
