Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

The New Technology Development Company of the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The three founders all wore grim expressions. Their company, barely off the ground, was already in dire straits. The money they had borrowed had been swindled away. What were they going to do?

Liu Gong clenched his fists, his gaze incredibly dark. Although he had only just entered the business world, he could clearly sense the scent of a conspiracy. Someone was definitely setting him up.

But who could it be?

His gaze turned towards the location of Factory 960. Could it be Director Qin?

That man had always been prejudiced against him. He hadn't offended him in any way, so why was he treating him like this? Liu Gong was on the verge of tears. He had no idea why. Moreover, why would Director Qin bother with such a small fry like him?

"Everyone, I just received news," someone said as he walked in. "Director Qin has gathered a large group of technical personnel to conduct research and development. Their research projects include Chinese character cards."

Liu Gong immediately stood up. "Is Ni Gong leading it?"

"No, Ni Gong is still in charge of chip development. Wang Min is leading this research project, the same person who invented the Wubi input method."

"Hmph, no matter who it is, they're also going to develop Chinese character cards. We were the ones who chose this direction originally, and at the time, Director Qin even tried to prevent us from asking Ni Gong for help." Liu Gong was extremely angry. "This Director Qin is going too far!"

Liu Gong couldn't let go of this matter.

"Liu Gong, Director Qin is doing it on his own. He's using his own money, not spending state funds."

"Hmph, his money is also the state's money!" Liu Gong said. "Without the state's policies, could he have achieved his development today? What was the policy given by the old leader? The wealthy should lead the way for those who are less wealthy, and ultimately achieve common prosperity! He has money, but his money is meant to drive the prosperity of those who are less wealthy, not just for himself. He can't just mess around with it!"

Liu Gong's sophistry was surprisingly confident, and Wang Gong and Zhang Gong were both somewhat impressed.

"Alright, I'll go right now."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it? Comrades in uniform, you've come at the right time! We want to write a letter of accusation to the higher-ups, you…"

Before Liu Gong could finish speaking, the other party interrupted. "Which one of you is Liu Gong?"

"That's me." Liu Gong was suspicious.

"We heard that you borrowed 200,000 from the bank, and then the money was swindled away?"

"Yes." Liu Gong immediately felt a jolt. "We were swindled. The 200,000 loan was swindled away. Someone must be behind this! You've come at the right time to help us investigate. I suspect Qin Yang from Factory 960 is behind it all!"

Although Liu Gong didn't know what was going on, he had to quickly push the responsibility for this matter onto Qin Yang.

"When did this happen?"

"Yesterday."

"Why didn't you report it yesterday?"

Report it? That's right, why didn't he report it? It was simple. What if reporting it alarmed the bank? If the bank found out he had been swindled and demanded repayment, what would he use to repay it?

After being swindled, Liu Gong's first thought was to cry to the institute director, the second was to find a way to earn it back, and the third was to find out who was behind it. He never thought about reporting it to the police.

"We didn't have time yesterday. After such a big thing happened, we were trying to find a way to solve it."

"Find a way to solve it? You're probably thinking about how to divide the spoils, right?"

Liu Gong immediately became angry. "Comrade, how can you say that? We're all from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. You can't just slander us like that."

"Chinese Academy of Sciences? You were probably expelled from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, right? Your names are no longer there."

"That's because we wanted to start a business. That's why we signed a procedure with the Chinese Academy of Sciences. We can go back at any time when we're no longer involved. You have to be careful with your words, lest you speak out of turn." Liu Gong rolled his eyes at him.

"Is that so? Please come with us for a trip."

"Why should we go with you?"

"Because we suspect you of embezzling public funds. You say the money was swindled away, but in reality, you divided the money yourselves."

"How is that possible? What are you talking about?" Liu Gong's expression became even more ugly.

"We received a report saying that 200,000 of your loan from the bank was swindled, but you didn't report it to the police. There's a problem here, so we investigated. Then we found that Liu Gong, you have an international account that you opened in the name of doing international trade, and there's an extra 200,000 in it. Can you tell me what's going on?"

An extra 200,000?

Liu Gong suddenly reacted. "Damn it, this must be a setup by that Director Qin. He's trying to frame me. I don't know anything about this! That Director Qin found someone to swindle my money, and then he found someone to deposit the money into my account!"

"Liu Gong, you keep talking about Director Qin. Do you have any evidence?"

Evidence? Did that even need evidence? Couldn't they see such a simple thing? Liu Gong was getting anxious. "Can't you uniformed comrades even investigate this? As long as you investigate, it's easy to come to a conclusion!"

"So we came. Please come with us for a trip."

Wang Gong and Zhang Gong exchanged glances, both seeing the fear in each other's eyes. This Liu Gong was too bad, wasn't he? In order to embezzle the money, he actually pulled off such a stunt! Moreover, he dragged the two of them into it.

Why? They didn't know anything. From beginning to end, it was just Liu Gong acting alone!

When they went to the uniformed comrades, they would definitely clear their names!

Liu Gong wouldn't know that Qin Yang wouldn't make a move unless he was going for the kill!

He didn't know how he had offended Director Qin. In short, Director Qin just wanted to play with him, to play him to death, and he didn't have any power to fight back.

Liu Gong said that he was wronged, from beginning to end, he was wronged. What mistake had he made?

Watching Liu Gong and the others being taken away, even the institute director was curious. How did Liu Gong offend Director Qin to be targeted like this? However, he had to be careful in the future and never offend Director Qin.
