Continuing my bizarre story under the boss's hand

At the beginning of the hot spring resort project, a 300 million yuan investment made everyone envious. On the surface, this money was to 'revive' the project, but in reality, most of the funds were quickly divided up.
The construction party inflated the project volume, suppliers provided substandard materials, management pocketed profits, and even the farm stay and fishing park projects I was responsible for were required to 'cooperate' with certain related companies' accounting operations.
I tried to maintain my bottom line, but soon realized that refusing to participate meant being marginalized, while participating only deepened my entanglement.
At the same time, I had a direct conflict with one of the boss's confidants—a deputy named Xu Feng. Xu Feng is the boss's 'brother,' over 40 years old, shrewd and assertive, responsible for the project's financial approvals.
He looked down on me as an 'outsider,' believing I was just a small character promoted on a whim by the boss. He repeatedly questioned my operational plans in meetings, even implying that my farm stay project was 'taking kickbacks.'
I tried to explain that the losses from the farm stay were due to excessive initial investment and insufficient customer flow, but he wouldn't listen, instead demanding that I outsource part of the business to his 'connections.'
Once, I discovered an unusual expense in the farm stay's accounts: a payment of 500,000 yuan marked 'equipment maintenance' that actually flowed to a shell company. As I investigated, I unexpectedly found that this company was related to Xu Feng's relatives.
I reported this matter privately to the boss, hoping for support, but was surprised by the boss's unusually cold response: 'Xiao Li, there are some things you shouldn't get involved in, just do your own job well.' This sentence chilled me; I began to realize that even the boss might not fully trust me.
The resort project not only had internal conflicts but also faced external resistance.
The hot spring resort in the Liuhe District was originally a key project for local government investment attraction, but with the arrival of the real estate winter, the attitude of local officials began to waver. Some officials hoped to gain benefits from the project, while others were dissatisfied with the strong intervention of the Shenzhen State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and secretly supported local developers to create trouble.
