C47 Fall into the Trap
Having a certain knowledge of office relations, I was keenly aware of this, and stopped talking with her in her office. Any questions were made by connecting my desk to the company's various internal phones.
She was very pleased with my transformation.
"What happened? Your personality has changed. You finally know that as the CEO's wife and secretary, leaving the CEO in the office by himself is not really appropriate?" In the old days, O'Jia Rui was polite, and her speech was measured, but ever since we gradually got to know each other, I was already used to jokes like this.
I sat in my seat and looked at the documents sent by the various departments as I said faintly, "That's not true. There are some people who are not in the same office as me, but we can still communicate through sources. As for some people, although they are right in front of me, I can still treat them as if they don't exist."
"Zhou Xinyao, you've grown in ability. You're becoming more and more infuriating." I instinctively hid. His hand fell down and gently stroked my hair, as gently as if he were taking care of a fragile porcelain doll.
Qian Xue's knocking on the door just in time to interrupt the warm interaction between the two of us. Ou Jia Rui said in a clear voice, "Please come in."
Returning back to the image of the gentle and humble young master, as though the person who was joking with me just now didn't exist. I silently cursed in my heart, 'a scoundrel with a gentle disposition'.
"Did you finish revising the document?" I brushed my hair and picked up the elegant lady's shelf again.
"Yes, it has already been modified according to your and CEO Ou's suggestion. There is no longer any unsuitable place. Secretary Zhou, you can come and find me to modify it at any time." Qian Xue respectfully and cautiously said.
Although I had emphasized that I didn't have to call her "Madam" so I could call her by her first name many times in the company, Qian Xue still didn't call me "Xin Yao". At best, she would address me as "Secretary Zhou" according to her position.
"Alright, thank you for your trouble. I'll let you know if there's anything else." I said, flipping through the material that was still warm from the printing just now.
Qian Xue had just walked out of the CEO's office when Ou Jia Rui grabbed the documents in my hands and said, "I'm here. You take a rest. You've been working all morning. I'm begging for your baby to take care of him and rest first."
"No, let's watch it together." I still didn't want to miss any of the progress of the project.
O'Jia Rui and I carefully looked through the paperwork to see if there were any problems with the whole thing. O'Jia Rui found a few more small details and I put them on Qian Xue's computer in an electronic version of the paperwork.
He picked up the company's internal phone, "Qian Xue, there are no problems with the documents, there are still a few small details that need to be handled. I've already sent the email to you, I'll go eat first.
The reason why I said that to Qian Xue was because I was afraid that she wouldn't eat for the sake of revising the contract.
Who knows Qian Xue still didn't listen to my advice.
The next morning, when O'Jia Rui and I arrived at the company, a beautiful girl from the Finance Department was standing in front of the CEO's office dressed in bright, fresh clothes, waiting for O'Jia Rui. It was obvious that she had purposely made up an exquisite makeup that was different from her daily commute.
I know this girl. She's the best auditor in the finance department right now, and she's involved in this project.
Seeing us walk out of the elevator, she quickly walked in front of us and said, "Hello, CEO Ou. I'm Lilly from the Finance Department. I think I have some important things to report to you about this project."
Perhaps it was because he had seen too many girls who could approach him using the name of their work, Ou Jia Rui impatiently waved her hand. "If there's anything important, we can talk about it at the regular meeting. I still have things to do right now."
Surprisingly, Lilly actually didn't continue to pester her. Instead, she revealed a professional smile and said, "Okay." After saying that, he walked into the employee elevator and returned to the finance department's office area, which was on the lower floor.
I smiled and teased Ou Jia Rui. "Director Ou really knows how to attract peach blossoms, but aren't you being a little too heartless?"
Ou Jia Rui hid the smile at the corner of her mouth: "Then I won't reject anyone from now on."
I pretended to be indifferent as I continued to walk inside. Ou Jia Rui then continued to add, "But I am already a married man." I burst out laughing.
At the regular meeting, after all the planning, contracts, and budgets had been finalized, just as the various departments were about to disperse and go back to their own work, Lilly, whom we had met in the morning, suddenly stood up.
"Wait a moment, CEO Ou, I have something important to report? "Please be sure to attract attention. This is related to the interests of the company and the stability of our internal staff. Please let me finish."
Ou Jia Rui had a headache. "Go ahead."
Lilly was a little nervous doing such a risky thing in front of so many people, so she said, "Director Ou, this thing doesn't have any direct contact with the person in charge of this project. Can we go to the CEO's office and talk slowly?"
This girl was very smart. She actually didn't want to blow the matter, but she said in front of so many people that she had very important things to report, so she forced Ou Jia Rui to listen to her.
When I walked into the CEO's office, I sat in my seat and even took a chair for Lilly and placed it across from O'Jia Rui's desk. If it was any other employee who was given such treatment, she would have already said 'thank you' several times in a row. She only coldly looked at me with a trace of indiscernible contempt in her eyes.
Although I don't know when I've offended her, my instincts tell me that Lilly doesn't like me, or even hates me.
I poured a glass of milk and a cup of coffee and placed them on the table between me and O'Jia Rui.
"What do you want to report?" Ou Jia Rui asked indifferently as she read the document.
"CEO, I have enough evidence to prove that your Chief Secretary, Miss Zhou, and Secretary Qian Xue of the Secretariat attempted to steal and divulge the company's secrets." Lilly's assured tone finally attracted some attention from O'Jia Rui, but I could tell by the way he looked at me at this moment that he didn't suspect me in the least.
Ye Zichen had never thought that he would become the target of a report just to watch a show.
"Oh? "Why do you say that?" Ou Jia Rui's tone and expression were so calm that no one could discern the slightest change in her emotions.
Lilly was already prepared. "Yesterday afternoon, I just finished processing our project's financial statement and was ready to go through it again in the afternoon. As soon as it was time to get off work, I sent a first draft to Secretary Zhou to let her have a look at her email."
"That's no problem. What happened next?"
"Then, this morning, I received a call from the financial department of the partner of our project, saying that they were very dissatisfied with the distribution of the benefits of this project, which is completely different from what was stated in the letter of intent. If not for the fact that we were classmates when she was a master, she would probably have sued our company instead of coming here to inquire about the situation."
I frowned, not knowing what this had to do with me or with Qianxue.
"Xin Yao, did you send the first draft she gave you into the partner's mailbox?"
"I didn't? This is not my job. After I finish processing the data, I just need to go through it and hand it over to the Finance Department to connect with the other side. " I answered simply.
Lilly continued, "Right, that's the problem. I asked the finance department to send me a copy of the statement she received and found that all the data in it was the same as what I had done. It was just that the profit distribution for both sides had changed from 6.5 to 3.5, which was a 7.5 to 2.5, so the other side was very unsatisfied."
I was aware of the complexity of the problem.
"Because the other data in that report are all true and detailed, and only that one entry has been changed, no one thinks that it's fake, not to mention that it was sent through our company's company's email."
At this moment, my mind was exceptionally calm. "Then I have revised the data you gave me and sent it to the other party. What do you think is my motive?"
Lilly sneered, "Then I don't know."
"You were sent to Secretary Zhou when you got off work at noon. However, at that time, she left the office together with me for a meal and did not have the time to do this." Ojira asked my question.
"So, as a precaution, I checked the company's monitoring system. During this time period, from the monitoring system in the elevator, the only person who didn't go out for lunch was Secretary Qian Xue. She had been busy in her office the whole afternoon, and the only possibility is that Secretary Zhou forwarded the document to her, leaving her to complete the rest of the work."
Ou Jia Rui and I couldn't find any flaws in her words. Although I didn't do these things, I still couldn't find a way to prove my innocence.
"Call Qian Xue from the Secretariat over." Ou Jia Rui said into the intercom phone.
Not long later, Qian Xue knocked on the door and entered.
"President, what can I do for you?"
Before Ou Jia Rui could even start, Lili, who wanted to attack Qian Xue and me, rushed in first. "Secretary Qian, since Secretary Zhou entered the company, you have been the closest to her, right? Before she came into the company, you didn't have much contact with any of your colleagues, did you? "
Qian Xue nodded her head stiffly and looked at me inquiringly. She still didn't know what had happened.
"Then let me ask you, were you working overtime yesterday afternoon …"
