Chapter 27: The Contract Went Wrong
"Minister, no! there's something going on outside. Da high heels came from outside the door, and then came in with Bai Xiaoli's assistant with a panicked face.
"What's wrong, what's going on?" As soon as he went out, Bai Xiaoli realized a sense of oppression outside the door, and the atmosphere was terrifying.
"There was a problem with the contract that I handed in the other day, the data on it was wrong, and the decimal point was moved forward by one place. It is said that now the other party has threatened to sue us for bullying and oppressing and exploiting laborers. Bai Xiaoli's assistant whispered beside Bai Xiaoli, "Just now, Mr. Su sent a message to let you go to the president's office, saying yes, someone is telling ......."
Later, the little assistant's voice also became softer a little, turned sideways, and whispered in Bai Xiaoli's ear, a voice that only two people could hear.
Bai Xiaoli's pretty face froze when he heard this, and his eyebrows were slightly locked.
This matter seems to be not so simple.
Bai Xiaoli walked quickly to the president's office, and habitually pushed the door directly, thinking that there were only two people, she and Su Hao, but she didn't expect that there were more than a dozen people in the room standing in a row around the desk. And Su Hao leaned on the seat, propped himself on the armrest of the seat with one hand, his eyes were stern, and when he swept over everyone, he seemed to be able to see through people.
"Mr. Su. Bai Xiaoli knocked lightly on the door three times to interrupt the questioning in the room, and when he saw Su Hao, he nodded lightly, and walked over with a solemn face.
"You, repeat what you just said to me. Su Hao looked at a short middle-aged man in front of him, and gently raised his chin towards him, his tone was casual, but with some inexplicable oppression and suspicion.
"Yes, when I left with Kobayashi the night before yesterday, the two of us checked the contract one last time, and the data was completely fine, and then I locked the file in a drawer in my office, and I didn't take it out until I signed the contract early yesterday morning.
My lock is very complicated, unless it is picked, it can never be opened without a key, and coincidentally, this key, except for me, is only available to Minister Bai. But the day before yesterday, I was out on business, and at other times, there were people next to me when I was in contact with the contract, so I didn't have time to commit the crime at all.
In this case, the contract eventually went wrong, and I have every reason to suspect that Minister Bai may have something to do with it. The middle-aged man looked at Bai Xiaoli as he spoke, saying that he was suspicious, but his tone was very firm.
"Oh, yes? Hehe, then what is my motive? I changed the data, what good is it for me?" Bai Xiaoli looked at the person in front of her who was correcting her with a serious face, and couldn't help but feel a little funny.
"I heard that Minister Bai has been in close contact with Dong Chen recently, as we all know, Dong Chen opened a construction company, if there is a problem with the contract, Jing's cannot cooperate with the current construction company, then with your power, this beauty difference will naturally fall on Dong Chen's head, the so-called fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders!" Bai Xiaoli's voice did not fall, the middle-aged man grabbed Bai first, and Bai Xiaoli was stunned for a moment - at this moment, she finally knew that it turned out that Dong Chen had opened a construction company.
"Hehe, thank you so much, let me know that Mr. Dong was originally engaged in architecture. Then tell me, what time do I have to commit the crime?" Bai Xiaoli chuckled and shook his head, but there was a bit of curiosity in his eyes, life was too dull, too monotonous and boring, and it was not bad to occasionally plant a little blame and adjust the adjustment.
"When I got off work the night before yesterday, someone saw Minister Bai walking out of the aisle of my office, my place is so remote, if it wasn't for purpose, who would go that way?" The middle-aged man was obviously completely prepared, and every statement was leaky, but as everyone knows, sometimes there are too many preparations, and it is too seamless to arouse the suspicion of others.
"Oh, who saw it?" Su Hao on the side propped his chin and listened for a long time, and finally couldn't help but interject.
"Miss An Yan'an, don't you think Miss An will deceive people?" As soon as An Yan was mentioned, a trace of pride flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes.
"Poofโyou didn't say that I forgot, Xiao Yan went with me that day! Looking at the pride of the winner in the eyes of the middle-aged man, Bai Xiaoli couldn't help but feel some sympathy for him in his heart, An Yan happened to be the best person for her alibi to prove.
As if hearing his name, An Yan, who had been sitting in the room resting, walked out slowly, with a pair of watery eyes full of doubts: "You called me?"
"Well, Yan'er, you came just in time, you told me what you and Xiao Li were doing when you got off work the night before. Seeing An Yan walking out, Su Hao got up and moved a chair for her.
According to An Yan, the night before yesterday, she wanted to ask Bai Xiaoli for a favor, and the two made an appointment to leave together after work. Because it was the rush hour after work, An Yan proposed to go down the stairs, the two have been together, the only time they were separated, Bai Xiaoli also went to the toilet, during this time, An Yan has also been waiting at the door of the toilet, not leaving an inch, waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Bai Xiaoli came out, and the two have not been separated since then.
Looking at the aggressive middle-aged man in front of him, An Yan looked puzzled, and said in a loud voice that Bai Xiaoli could not have time to commit the crime, and there must have been a misunderstanding in the middle.
After An Yan finished speaking, except for the middle-aged man and a cleaner, everyone else in the office nodded again and again.
"It's strange, I locked the toilet door after work. After being silent for a long time, Su Hao was just about to speak, when he heard the cleaner's aunt muttering something in a low voice, although the voice was small, it was enough for everyone present to hear, "And the toilet is still being renovated recently, and you can go out with a door open behind it......"
As soon as he heard the cleaner's words, the middle-aged man immediately bit Bai Xiaoli and said, "Minister Bai, may I ask what you have done in a toilet that cannot be used in the past 15 minutes? From that toilet to my office to exchange a document, 15 minutes is more than enough." โ
"yes, that toilet has been broken for days and hasn't been repaired. โ
"Yes, I've reacted many times, and I haven't come to fix it, and I have to run a long way to the toilet. โ
Hearing the whispers of some female staff around the middle-aged man's office, Bai Xiaoli couldn't help frowning, it seems that the people behind the scenes have planned extremely carefully, and have planned all the factors that are unfavorable to her, but she prides herself on being friendly to people on weekdays, and she has only been in Jing's for a month, who would frame her with such a deliberate design?
"Believe it or not, when I use it, the toilet is good. Bai Xiaoli sighed softly without a trace, his eyes swept over everyone present, without a trace of panic and weakness.
