Standing outside the door of the smoking area, I couldn't help it anymore when I heard this, so I lit the cigarette in my mouth and walked outside.

"You are so casual about it, but is there any evidence for it?" I said, looking at them.

Unexpectedly, several people looked at me and smiled contemptuously, and one of them said, "Evidence? If a group of people say this, do you think you are a fool, or that group of people is a fool?"

"The water from a well was clean, but after the first man drank it, he was afraid that others would come and take his water for it, so he told the others that the water from the well had been poisoned, and then everyone stopped drinking the water from the well, and the first person who drank the water enjoyed the water of the well alone. After telling the story, I looked at them calmly, "You are just those who have never drunk the water of that well. ”

The men didn't pay any attention to what I said, and they laughed again, "Forget it, let's not reason with fools, let's go." ”

"That's it, I don't understand, Fang Kai is already a stranger to him, I thought it was his old team leader, helping him speak, young man, soon you will know whether what we said is true or not!"

After they left, I smoked the remaining half of the cigarette by myself, thought for a while, took out my mobile phone and called Fang Kai, but he didn't answer. So, I had to contact him by text: if you want to believe me, contact me when you see the message.

After texting, I snuffed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and turned back to the office.

......

In the afternoon, the people from Runjia Plaza came to our company, and it was none other than the two project managers, and the high-level people went to the conference room to discuss with them. Later, I heard other colleagues talk about the results of the discussion in their meeting: tomorrow at the latest, if Fang Kai still doesn't show up within tomorrow and "disappears" with everyone, then report the case directly, and there is no room for final discussion.

Actually, this is not what I am concerned about, but after the meeting, Li Zijie and the two managers went to the company's smoking area, and I watched the three of them talking and laughing, looking unexpected, as if all this was planned and arranged by them in advance.

After the two people left, I walked over to Li Zijie, who was still in the smoking area, and no one knew this matter better than him, except for the person concerned.

"Did you do that?" there was no one else here, so I got straight to the point as soon as I came up.

Li Zijie frowned and smiled, and asked rhetorically, "May I ask what you are talking about?"

"First, you are very familiar with the two project managers of Runjia Plaza;second, based on the relationship between the two of you, if there is any project to do, it must be given, but you chose to give it to Fang Kai, in this kind of time when everyone is squeezing their heads and wanting to take orders, you give the list to Fang Kai, do you think it makes sense?" I looked directly at Li Zijie's face, trying to find clues from the change in the expression on his face.

He was silent, and after a while, he smiled softly again, took out a cigarette and lit it, "Cheng Ting, Cheng Ting, your divine reasoning has to surprise me." The smile on his face gradually froze, and then his expression became fierce, and he gritted his teeth and whispered: "I tell you, he is insatiable! At first, I wanted to help him, because everyone knew in private that he was short of money, and seeing that he was so pitiful and begged me at the beginning, I gave him this project, but later he actually took the initiative to ask people for money, and even went to those bad merchants to find inferior materials to use indiscriminately to use the site layout, and then embezzle the project funds from it, who do you say this can blame?"

I was very surprised in my heart, if Li Zijie was telling the truth, then Fang Kai had indeed crossed the line, and this had already violated the warning line of the law.

I was silent, not knowing what to say, and stood in front of him indifferently.

"Greed comes at a price. Li Zijie gave me a meaningful look and turned to leave the smoking area.

After he left, I held out my finger and rubbed my brow and lit a cigarette. It was also at this time that Fang Kai finally replied to my message.

"At half past seven in the evening, room 218 of Yunhe Hotel is waiting for you, remember, you can only come by yourself. ”

I looked at the text message he sent in front of the screen, replied with the word "good", and then put the phone away. The truth, perhaps, will soon come out.

......

After getting off work in the evening, I went to Yunhe Hotel at the time and place agreed between Fang Kai and me. I was led by the hotel staff to the door of box 218.

As soon as the door opened, I saw Fang Kai with his back to me, he was dressed in black, and in order not to attract attention, he was also wearing a black peaked cap.

"No one else is coming, is it?" his voice was hoarse, but he lowered his hat so low that I couldn't make out the expression on his face.

"Nope. I pulled out a chair and sat down across from him.

Fang Kai poured me a cup of tea, and then took off his hat, his face was full of tiredness, and he looked like he hadn't slept well all night.

"Brother Kai, what the hell is going on?"

"I don't want to say it, you should have heard a lot about it from the mouths of those people in the company. He picked up the cup of tea on the table, took a sip, smiled bitterly, and said: "Li Zijie has indeed set a trap for me, yes! How can there be a free lunch in the world? I should have figured it out a long time ago!"

"How much did you charge them in total?"

Fang Kai pondered for a while, but still told me a vague number: "More than 100,000." After a pause, he continued, "Blame me, blame myself for being too greedy, because I never thought that Li Zijie would stab me in the back, and the person who reported it anonymously was him......"

I was stunned, it turned out that Li Zijie was the one who anonymously reported Fang Kai!

"In front of the temptation of money, there are few people who can stop its charm, behind it is all driven by Yu, but you should not expose your weaknesses from the beginning, everyone knows that you are in urgent need of a sum of money, once those who want to play a trick on you know, then they will give you a fatal blow. I looked at Fang Kai with a look of remorse on his face and said slowly.

His expression froze, and he slowly began to panic, "Cheng Ting, then, what do you say I should do...... I, I'm going back to get married...... Na'er is still waiting for me, no! they must not be allowed to catch me!!" Fang Kai staggered up from his chair, took two steps back, and became incoherent.

"Fang Kai, calm down!" I walked over and grabbed him, "The two project managers from Runjia Plaza came to our company this morning, and finally they discussed the results with the company's senior management, saying that within tomorrow at the latest, if you can't see your people, then report the case." ”

I took a breath, looked at Fang Kai, who was already dumbfounded, and continued: "Fang Kai, you listen to me, you can't leave, if you report the case, then the matter is even more not so simple, if you show up tomorrow to negotiate with them, maybe things can take a turn for the better." ”

"Is that true? don't lie to me......" He still hadn't fully calmed down, and his hands trembled as he took out a cigarette and lit it.

I hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Really, I don't lie to you, now I only think that this is the way to go." ”

It was the first time I'd seen him like this since I'd known him for so long, and as a colleague with whom I used to have a good relationship, I felt a pity. Oh, why do I use the word "once" to describe our relationship?

......

Although I was chatting with Fang Kai in the restaurant this night, we didn't have a good meal at all, and I left the hotel and returned to the rental house, and I had to make myself instant noodles to eat.

Tomorrow, it may be a turning point in Fang Kai's fate, and I don't know if he will come over, but I have said everything that should be said, and everything depends on how he decides.
