Chapter Ninety-Eight: Finding the Wrong Scapegoat
But before Xiang Yuyu's words were finished, Chu Yu interrupted her, "You don't have to worry about this, as long as someone comes out to take on it, I don't think the company will continue to investigate, and they can't find any evidence to prove that you weren't there at the time." β
"But ......" Xiang Yuyu was a little puzzled, since Chu Yu said that if the company tracked it down, he would be fired, which means that it has not been investigated yet.
So how did he know that someone had taken a picture of him and sent it to the company's top management, and this incident only happened last night, and he actually knew about it early in the morning, and the news was too well-informed.
But before she could ask, she heard someone shouting from afar, "Brother Chu, Brother Chu." β
Chu Yu poked his head out and glanced at her, and said to her, "It's Xiao Wang, you should have asked us to go to a meeting, Yuyu, you promised to help me." β
"Yes, I promised. She had said yes, so she had to answer now, though it suddenly seemed like a trap.
No, no, a boy like Chu Yu, such a bright and helpful boy shouldn't dig a hole for her.
There were two voices fighting in her heart.
Chu Yu pressed her shoulder, said thank you in a low voice, and left, Xiang Yuyu stood in place for a while, and only then stabilized her uneasy mood a little, she had told a lot of lies, but this time, she was very nervous and very afraid.
I am afraid that my boss will not believe it, and I am afraid that my boss will believe it, and the contradiction is terrible.
If the boss doesn't believe it, then she can't help Chu Yu, but if the boss believes it, then she may be the one who will be fired, and she will push herself into a dead end by helping others.
Forget it, no matter how much, helping Chu Yu can be regarded as repaying his favor, because he did it to help himself.
Xiang Yuyu was suddenly relieved.
The morning meeting was presided over by Lin Wan, and she had always been her before, and Manager Zhong would occasionally come over to say a few words, or not show up at all.
Just as Chu Yu said, Director Lin really mentioned the incident, but the matter came out of her mouth, which was more general and vague, and only said that something happened last night, asked Mr. Liang whose customer it was, and stood up by himself.
Xiang Yuyu thought to herself, Mr. Liang, it should be the one who has an entanglement with Chu Yu, right?
She wanted to admit it immediately, but she was a little timid, more suspicious, the whistleblower obviously took a photo, and the person in the photo was Chu Yu, but why didn't Director Lin name him directly, but asked Mr. Liang whose customer it was?
Such an obvious feeling of being scapegoated.
"Whose customer, don't you dare to take on what you do?" Director Lin asked again, his eyes sweeping between the rows of salesmen.
"It's me. Xiang Yuyu's voice was small, muttering to herself.
After hesitating again and again, he still admitted it, promised to help, and fulfilled his promise.
......
Xiang Yuyu didn't know how the morning meeting ended, and how she was called to the office to be severely criticized, and then told that she was fired, and asked her to pack up her things and leave.
Although I don't know what happened specifically, but seeing that she was packing up her things, she knew that the crime was not small, and her colleagues all avoided her, no one approached her, and even Sister Yun, who was closest to her, only cast a few sympathetic glances.
And Chu Yu, after she put her things away, came over and whispered, "I'm sorry." β
Xiang Yuyu smiled at him slightly, but he couldn't say that it didn't matter.
He should have thought of this result when he asked her for help, and now he said what sorry for him.
"Don't worry, I'll be helping you find a job. He continued, "I have a lot of friends who run companies, and it's not difficult to introduce you to a clerical job. β
"You don't have to be mentally burdened. Xiang Yuyu looked at Chu Yu, "You want to help me cause such a thing, and I have my responsibility, besides, even if there is no such thing, I think I will be expelled, so you don't have to feel guilty because of this." β
Lin Wan's three-day period, she didn't have the confidence to complete it anyway, since it was all the fate of being expelled, it didn't hurt to do a good deed by the way.
Considering that he was in the company, Chu Yu didn't say anything more, just told Xiang Yuyu not to rush to find a job by himself, and just wait for him to call when he goes back.
The middle management meeting took place at two o'clock in the afternoon.
Xiao Muchun was very busy today, he had three meetings in the morning, and he ate a few bites of lunch in between meetings.
After the management of each department reported on the work of the week, Xiao Muchun casually flipped through the stack of materials and reports at hand.
"What is this?" he raised his arm and shook a watch in front of Luo Ze.
"President, this is the list of dismissed personnel from each department," Luo Ze replied, and after a glance, there was a name written in the column of the sales department, Xiang Yuyu.
Of course, Xiao Muchun also saw the line of the list of expelled personnel, and he wondered how Xiang Yuyu could be among them, as far as her courage was concerned, she shouldn't have done anything bad, and in the Xiao Group, if she didn't commit something harmful to the group, she would generally not be expelled.
"Because of what, he was expelled?" he raised his hand slightly, pointing at Zhong Jiuyuan, "You say it first." β
The people at the conference table immediately turned their heads to each other, this kind of thing is not unheard of in the past, the president rarely asks, and the dismissal of a person is not a big deal, how can I be interested in asking about it in detail today.
Zhong Jiuyuan didn't have a morning meeting, so he didn't know about this matter at all, and whispered a few words to Lin Wan next to him, and Lin Wan stood up and reported the matter.
"Are you saying that Xiang Yuzu met with a customer last night, and he also accepted bribes from customers to use the group's low sales price for personal gain?" Xiao Muchun couldn't help frowning after hearing this.
"Yes, President. Lin Wanyi said, "People like this will not only cause economic losses to the group, but also damage the image of the group, and expulsion is already the lightest punishment." β
Xiao Muchun looked at her coldly, "Of course you can't keep people who endanger the interests of the group, but last night's incident, and now you have made the decision to expel you, have you seriously verified the authenticity of the matter? If you can conclude it based on just one photo, it would be too hasty, not to mention, there must be no her on that photo, right?"
"How do you know?" Lin Wan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked.
She deliberately ignored the truth of the photo just now, and didn't say who was in the photo, but just said that someone found out that Xiang Yuzu accepted money from customers, and someone took a photo to report it, how could the president know that Xiang Yuzu was not photographed in the photo.
"How do I know?" Xiao Muchun asked coldly, "Director Lin, we can understand that your answer is indeed not photographed in the photo, right? β
"President, she admitted it herself, she said that she went to the bathroom during the period, maybe because she was not photographed because of this. Lin Wan met Xiao Muchun's gaze, his heart beat like a drum, and he kept comforting himself, the president may have seen the photo, so ask it routinely.
"You said that Xiang Yuyu went to the bathroom, and said that the photos you took were being traded for money, so who did the money go to? and she still had accomplices?" Xiao Muchun almost gritted his teeth and asked these words.
Lin Wan suddenly looked at Zhong Jiuyuan as if he had been drained of confidence, and glanced at Zhong Jiuyuan as if he was asking for help, but he didn't want to be reprimanded by him in a low voice, "Lin Wan, what are you doing? β
"But Xiang Yuyu herself ......" Lin Wan wanted to say, it was Xiang Yuyu herself who admitted it, isn't it clear enough, but the words came to her mouth and swallowed again, she lowered her head, "I'm sorry, president, it's me who is not meticulous enough, I will re-investigate." β
"Just isn't it meticulous enough?" Xiao Muchun's eyes narrowed slightly, his voice was flat and indifferent, but his eyes were sharp when he looked at Lin Wan, "I think you are deliberately shielding someone, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Wan's heart was shocked, and she raised her head and tried to be calm, "President, you misunderstood, I didn't want to protect anyone, and I don't know what this matter is about." β
"I don't know what's going on, so why did she run to the list of expelled?" Xiao Muchun was obviously angry, "Find a newcomer to operate, you thought it was seamless, but unfortunately you found the wrong scapegoat!"
is in charge of such a large group, there are thousands of people in the headquarters alone, he can't see what kind of things in the workplace, this matter is too simple, Xiang Yuyu is obviously responsible for someone.
Everyone at the conference table looked at Xiao Muchun, not knowing why he was so insistent that Yuyu was innocent, and why he wanted to stand up for her, Zhong Jiuyuan was glad that he didn't know in advance, and it was a big deal that it was a fault for poor management.
"What are you looking forβ" Lin Wan said with great difficulty, struggling, "I don't understand what you mean." β
"I will personally investigate this matter!" Xiao Muchun said seriously, "However, I don't think you have to wait until then, you know exactly what the situation is." β
Lin Wan couldn't help but be stunned.
If you want to know who Xiang Yuyu is responsible for, it's very simple, he just needs to look at who is in that photo to understand, this kind of thing can't be hidden, it's just a matter that the department head has decided, of course the others are turning a blind eye, who will care so much.
But I never thought that the president would take care of this matter.
And the investigation emphasized by Xiao Muchun is clear, naturally it is with the accomplice, how can Lin Wan not panic? At this moment, she has already regretted it, she should not help Chu Yu with this idea, thinking that she can keep Chu Yu's job, but she doesn't want to lose her own job.
This time I'm really smart, I don't think anyone will stand up for Xiang Yuyu, thinking that she is just a newcomer to the sales department, even if she has worked in the general affairs department.
Lin Wan inquired, Xiang Yuyu did not have close contact with anyone during his work in the General Affairs Department, he had always been alone, and Xiao Muchun had not heard of anything else except work, so Lin Wan did it unscrupulously.
But why did the president suddenly take care of Xiang Yuyu's affairs? This was something Lin Wan never expected.
At this time, a middle-aged man in the seat spoke, "President, the photo was sent to my mailbox, and there are indeed only two men on it." β
The implication couldn't be more obvious, and it forced Lin Wan to a dead end.
Although Xiao Muchun knew it and had already said it in public just now, when he heard the middle-aged man say this, his eyebrows still raised slightly, "Do you know the person in the photo?"
