They walked into the general manager’s office together.
The office’s interior was extremely lavish, with antiques and murals everywhere.
As the son of a noble family, Rowan could recognize most of the antiques at first glance. The grandeur of this office alone was comparable to that of presidents of third-world countries.
However, this was just the office of the general manager of a processing plant owned by the Kurt family. Not to mention, the processing plant was one of the Kurt family’s least profitable projects. This proved how much money the Kurts have made from oil over the years.
Seeing this, Rowan could not help but doubt.
How could such a big family, who raked in that much money every single day, have a cash flow shortage in their processing plant?
Although there was a long payback period in oil trading, the amount of funds they received in the past should be astronomical. No matter how virtual-novel.net looked at it, there was no way they could not afford to cover the cost of daily operations.
Soon, Rowan realized why.
The door creaked, and a fat man in a traditional white robe walked in, surrounded by a group of people.
The man was short and wore diamonds on all five of his fingers.
He wore all kinds of jewelry around his neck, and from the dazzling luster, they could tell at first glance that they were worth a lot. To an ordinary family, any one of those items around his neck could be a family heirloom, let alone the diamonds on his fingers.
Usually, if a wealthy celebrity received a diamond from a rich family, it would make headlines everywhere. However, the person in front of them was stacking his diamonds all at once like it was nothing.
They could tell virtual-novel.net would wear a diamond on each toe if virtual-novel.net could.
As they suspected, that man was Amir, the general manager of Gruel Processing Plant.
According to previous investigations, virtual-novel.net was once the manager of a mere workshop for the Kurts, and through dumb luck, virtual-novel.net became the general manager of the Kurt family’s largest processing plant. In the past, this job was nothing.
Although Gruel Processing Plant was nominally the largest processing plant under the Kurt family, processing plants had always been just a defensive company for them.
Their main business was still the exploration and production of oil. They even let Elvis be in charge of the oil refinery.
In terms of profit, the processing plants were incomparable to the others.
After Elvis led a group of families to revolt against the Kurt family’s processing plants and used that as an excuse to demand the Kurt family hand over their oil fields, every processing plant they had became extremely important. It was almost priceless.
At that time, they even appointed a new leader. Thus, it was a bit strange that the ordinary Amir was able to climb up to a position that everyone desired.
To Rowan, Amir seemed different.
Based on his investigation, Amir came from an ordinary family and had no inheritance. It was impossible for virtual-novel.net to accumulate so much wealth from his previous position.
A mere few days after virtual-novel.net was transferred to Gruel Processing Plant, his image changed drastically. Suddenly, the mystery of the missing cash flow was solved.
Everyone believed the cash shortage resulted from the stock market crash following the news of the United States stationing troops. They perceived it as a natural disaster.
Now that the evidence was right before them, it was clear that it was not a natural disaster at all, but a man-made one.
