million yuan in teaching funds disappeared without a trace?

When Ding Yue heard Director Qian Duoduo from the finance department report this incident, he was stunned for a long while. Ding Yue had never encountered such a situation before.

"Director Qian, what do you mean?"

Ding Yue asked in a soft voice.

"It appears that someone has embezzled this amount of money. We have already discovered some situations, so I prepared to report this matter to you in person, Principal Ding."

Director Qian Duoduo answered.

"Good, come over immediately!"

Ding Yue’s tone suddenly became serious.

Someone dared to embezzle teaching funds from Mist City Arts and Science University, and it was not a small amount like ten or twenty thousand yuan, but two million yuan. Such a situation occurring at Mist City Arts and Science University was somewhat beyond Ding Yue’s expectations.

"Principal Ding, what happened?"

Secretary Wen Ruohan, who had always been following behind Ding Yue, noticed that the principal’s expression seemed rather grim, even somewhat severe, and nothing like the always smiling Ding Yue. Thus, Wen Ruohan was very curious about what had happened.

"Xiao Wen."

Ding Yue suddenly called out in a very low voice to Secretary Wen Ruohan.

"Ah, Principal Ding, I’m here."

Wen Ruohan immediately responded.

"Do you think the salary and benefits for all our school’s teaching staff are good?"

Ding Yue looked at Secretary Wen Ruohan and asked.

"Of course!"

Without hesitation, Wen Ruohan immediately responded, "Not only good, Principal Ding, the salaries and benefits you provide us, I think no other university can match them. I guess even those nationally key universities don’t have such generous benefits."

Wen Ruohan was telling the absolute truth.

Aside from being amiable, the treatment Principal Ding provided for the entire school’s teaching staff was definitely top-notch. Like herself, as a secretary, her salary was already in the five figures, not to mention annual bonuses and dividends, and the benefits on a regular basis were not even worth mentioning.

And the salaries and benefits of various lecturers and professors at Mist City Arts and Science University were naturally even higher than hers. Even the ordinary staff in other areas of the school, such as the cafeteria workers and environmental cleaning staff, probably didn’t earn less than 5,000 yuan, right?

"Ah."

Ding Yue couldn’t help but sigh.

Heartfelt self-reflection told him that the treatment he provided for all the school’s teaching staff was already good enough, yet, even so, embezzlement of teaching funds still occurred?

This was something Ding Yue could not tolerate.

Once the finance department clarified how the two million yuan in teaching funds had disappeared, Ding Yue was determined to deal sternly with the matter.

More than ten minutes later.

Ding Yue, along with Secretary Wen Ruohan, had already returned to the principal’s office in the Administration Building.

About another ten minutes passed, and Director Qian Duoduo from the finance department also arrived at the principal’s office.

"Principal Ding."

After entering the office, Director Qian Duoduo called out to Principal Ding.

"Director Qian, come and talk."

Ding Yue had a very serious expression, because this was no small matter. Although 2 million yuan in teaching funds might seem like a drop in the ocean compared to the total educational funding invested by Mist City Arts and Science University over a year, it was still not a small amount. Most crucially, the money was probably embezzled.

These two million yuan, for Mist City Arts and Science University, counted as public funds, and embezzling public funds, wherever it occurred, was a criminal act.

"Principal Ding, we discovered the problem when we were checking the accounts of the Business Administration School’s teaching fund expenditures for this semester. There was a discrepancy with two million yuan of teaching funds."

After he approached, Director Qian Duoduo handed a document to Principal Ding.

"Business Administration School?"

After hearing this, Ding Yue started pondering.

Business Administration School, or the business college of Mist City Arts and Science University, was something Ding Yue had not paid too much attention to historically. Unlike the mechanical department, Ding Yue preferred industrials, and the business college was more connected to commerce and finance, with a high proportion of internet economy as well.

Ding Yue did not expect the business college to produce any finance magnates. As long as the students of the college could successfully graduate and then find a good job in the field of commercial finance with their excellent professional skills, that would be enough.

"Yes."

Director Qian Duoduo nodded and continued, "The money is part of the ten million yuan in teaching funds applied for by the Business Administration School. The specific use and destination are not entirely clear yet because the transaction did not go through the college’s accounts."

"So, can it be confirmed that this money was embezzled, no, I mean, it was misused?"

Ding Yue raised his head and asked Director Qian Duoduo.

"Yes, Principal Ding. Generally, when funds go unaccounted for like this, they are definitely being misused. Moreover, the method of misuse is too sloppy, not even bothering to create a false account."

Director Qian Duoduo spread his hands, very confidently stating.

"Xiao Wen."

Ding Yue was already very angry now.

Damn it, they dared to misuse the precious teaching funds of my Mist City Arts and Science University?

That’s really audacious!

Who could it be?

Ding Yue immediately thought of someone from the Business Administration School—Chen Yilin, the head of the department.
