C49 Blindness

Ji Baihe bowed slightly to me and O'Jia Rui, then turned around and walked out of the CEO's office.

She left with her back straight, as if she were the incarnation of the goddess of justice.

"Do you have anything else to add?" Ou Jia Rui asked Qian Xue.

Qian Xue gripped her clothes tightly. "I … I haven't thought of how to explain myself. I'm in a mess right now. I don't know why this would happen to me."

I couldn't stand it any longer. "Why don't you go back and organize your emotions and thoughts to see if there are any other ways to prove that you haven't done it yet?"

Qian Xue didn't dare to follow my instructions and return to the office. She just looked at Ou Jia Rui timidly.

After listening to my words, Ou Jia Rui gave me an unreadable look. "I'll give you an hour. Do we have to have a clear conclusion to this matter before we get off work at noon?"

"Alright." Qian Xue replied and walked out of the office.

As soon as Qian Xue left, I walked back to my seat with a sullen look on my face.

"What's the matter with you? I've never trusted the slander from the Finance Department and have firmly stood by your side. If the old guys on the board were to find out about this conversation, they would probably think of you as the temptress's banshee." In time, O'Jia Rui noticed my mood change.

"I didn't say that. What did you mean by that look?"

Ou Jia Rui simply stood up and strode to the side of my seat: "I feel, Yao Yao, that sometimes you are too soft-hearted, but your kindness and soft-heartedness can easily turn into a weapon for others to attack you in the workplace, or in this highly efficient society. Do you understand what I mean?"

If I hadn't been softhearted, I think I would have lost my baby and gone to a strange place to start my life again.

At the same time, I felt a little sorry that I had misunderstood her meaning.

"Alright, I understand. Let's go to work first. This is the written document that Qian Xue revised yesterday. Do you have any other questions?"

"I have to say, this Qian Xue is indeed a talent in paperwork. Before, I never found out that the secretariat had such a talent, but right now, it's an extraordinary period. We need to temporarily stop our work on the paperwork, and we might even need someone to make a new one."

I understand that as the head of an enterprise, the heavy burden on his shoulders makes him to make any decision carefully and seriously.

An hour passed quickly, and one by one the rest of the Eustace staff left the office, went home, or had lunch.

I called Ji Baili and Qian Xue to the CEO's office through the company's insiders.

Ji Baihe looked at Qian Xue and me with a victorious attitude.

"Qian Xue, can you give us a reasonable explanation now?" Ou Jia Rui spoke concisely.

"I, I'm not, I've been working on that paperwork …" Qian Xue said a lot of things, but most of them were constantly repeating that she hadn't done anything, that she had been framed or something like that. At this moment, her actions made me feel that the clear documents and the author of the report were difficult to reconcile with this nervous little girl in front of me.

"CEO Ou, I think the truth is right in front of us. Qian Xue has no way to prove her innocence, but at the same time, if Madam didn't forward that email, I think a secretary of the Secretariat wouldn't be able to get the latest report from the Finance Department in such a short time." Ji Baiyi's reasoning was not unreasonable.

That's why I've always believed in Qian Xue so strongly, because it's hard for me to imagine how she could get that document in her position.

"Like I said, you have no way of confirming now that Zhou Xinyao is the only source of information on Qian Xue." Ou Jia Rui was a little impatient.

"How about this, Qian Xue, since you've been given such a long time yet you still can't say a single thing, and all the evidence points to you as the only one who can do so. The Ou Family has always been a company that wants to reduce the risk to zero, so let's look for someone else to take advantage of." Ou Jia Rui's words were very tactful.

But I understand, his words are basically the same as sentencing Qian Xue to death. If he didn't believe Ji Baili's words, Ou Jia Rui wouldn't have expelled her.

And no company would accept an employee who wanted to exacerbate the relationship between the company and the partner because she leaked the company's secrets and maliciously tampered with the data.

This decision cut off all avenues of retreat for Qian Xue in this industry.

At this point, my damned sympathy flooded again, and on impulse, I decided to protect this weak girl first.

The key to this is that email. As you said, other than me, the person who wants to change the data has no other way to get this information from the back channel. They wondered, even if I didn't intentionally miss out on the company's secrets, at least this information management system is not strict, so even if Qian Xue did it, the core is still me.

"Do you know what you're saying?"

I forced myself to calm down. "I understand. Is it because a company needs security and stability? This time, I need to take responsibility for this matter even more. Qian Xue shouldn't be an innocent victim. Give me some time. If I can't find the reason, I'll resign."

This was almost a desperate move, and I added, "You can stop my Chief Secretary until you find the person who leaked this information."

Ji Baihe shrugged. "Madam, you have to protect Qian Xue. I wish you success. CEO Ou, it's time for me to get off work. Can I go home now? "

Ojira nodded his head in approval.

"Then I'll look forward to Madam's next performance." Ji Baihe said to me in a voice that only the two of us could hear as she passed by my seat. The provocation was obvious. I don't know why, but the girl was so hostile to me that I began to wonder if I had really done something wrong to her.

"Qian Xue, you should go eat too."

"Yes." Qian Xue's voice was getting softer and softer.

I gathered up my things on my desk, ready to go home and sort out my thoughts.

"Where are you going?" Ochira asked me calmly.

"Go home. I've already been suspended from my job. Can't I leave?"

"Although she's not my secretary anymore, as the CEO's wife, it's reasonable for you to stay anywhere in the Ou Family." She took my hand.

"Don't you blame me?"

"Blame you for what?"

"Earlier, I was impulsive enough to stop this matter, and I even forcefully changed your decision." My voice trailed off.

Ou Jia Rui shrugged her shoulders. "You're an adult now. I believe you must take responsibility for your words and actions. However, no matter what you do, you must put your body first, understand?"

I nodded my head heavily, thanking O'Jia Rui for the respect he had shown me.

After lunch, I returned to the CEO's office, as usual, with O'Jia Rui, ready for a big battle.

"Can I help you?"

"It's not convenient for Qian Xue and me to read the documents from the various departments now. I can only trouble the CEO to review them. I'm really sorry." There was no hint of embarrassment in my tone.

"Mm, let me remind you. "For safety's sake, how many people have read a document in the company's intranet?"

My eyes suddenly lit up. "Really? Can you tell that anyone has seen it and sent it?"

"I'm afraid that it is impossible for me to achieve such a feat. If it is possible, wouldn't I have seen the case against Ji Baihe from the very start?" He was patient, as if he were answering a child's question.

"Where can I see it?"

"You go to the cybersecurity department, I'll sign a document for you and you can transfer." O'Jarry said to me as he swiped his signature.

I jumped up from my chair, picked up my papers, and hurried out.

According to the data, as of 2 p.m. yesterday, a total of four people had seen the document. I silently calculated in my mind. At that time, I still hadn't started working yet, so besides Ji Baihe and the finance department's manager, who were the other two people who had seen this document?

"Can you tell which terminal they were read from?" I asked the technician.

"Ma'am, because all employees use the company's intranet, everyone's terminal is the same."

"Well, who else has seen this other than me?"

"Miss Ji of the Finance Department."

"Can she read without the president's papers?"

"It's like this. Her department manager can also give her the authority. Because Madam is the secretary of the CEO, you need the CEO's signature."

"So it's like that." I started to understand why Ji Baihe was so confident. Other than me and her, the financial manager and Ou Jia Rui had seen this document before. It was probably because she understood this that she dared to slander me.

But who this person is, it gives me a headache.

Back in the CEO's office, I continued to ponder in my seat.

"Any ideas?"

I said seriously, "Ou Jia Rui, yesterday afternoon before 2 p.m., there were 4 people who read that document. That means the company's financial report was indeed leaked. I just don't know if it was stolen by God, but it must be someone from within the Ou family."

Ou Jia Rui instantly became serious as well. "Really? Then do you have any way to verify the authenticity of Ji Baihe's words right now? "

I bit my finger and shook my head.

I don't know why I was framed for no reason at all, but it doesn't seem to be as simple as an employee slandering me.

While I was still in a daze, O'Jia Rui was already on the phone to the managers of the various departments.

"From now on, all work on this project will be suspended. All participants will now send their files on this project to the president's office and delete them. My assistant will begin to check your documents in five minutes."

"Can you really defend against it?" In five minutes, if there really was a spy in the company, he would have already backed up all the data.

Even Ou Jia Rui was a bit helpless: "Of course I know I can't be foolproof, but there's no other way now."
