Due to issues with the betrothal gift, Qiao Xing's two-year relationship with her boyfriend collapsed overnight. Feeling disheartened, her elderly neighbor insisted his grandson go on a blind d...
Chapter 101 What goes around comes around
After seeing the proposal, Qiao Xing already had a good idea of what was going on. She walked up to President Chen and asked, "President Chen, did you want to see me?"
Mr. Chen glanced at her and gestured for her to look at the proposal on the table. "Mr. Wu said you wrote this proposal?"
Qiao Xing picked up the proposal and flipped through it, then said, "It's signed by President Wu, how could it be something I did?"
Wu Yun's expression changed. Seeing how calm Qiao Xing was, she knew in her heart that she had probably been tricked by Qiao Xing.
"Qiao Xing, do you dare say you didn't create this plan?"
Qiao Xing was silent for a moment, then put the proposal back and sighed, "Okay, I did it."
“You…” Wu Yun was furious.
Although Qiao Xing admitted it, her helpless tone was hardly an admission; it was as if she was telling President Chen that she was forced to take the blame for Wu Yun!
Qiao Xing looked at Wu Yun, "Mr. Wu, I've already admitted that I did it. What more do you want me to say? But may I ask if there's anything wrong with this plan?"
"Stop pretending. Don't you know what's wrong with the proposal?"
General Manager Chen interrupted the two, "Alright, stop arguing! Manager Wu, this proposal has your name on it, I only recognize names! Your previous proposals were quite good, why did this detailed proposal make such a mistake?"
Wu Yun was stunned; she was speechless for a moment.
She had checked the plan, and there was actually no problem with it. However, the problem was precisely because there was no problem!
When the plan was submitted to S&C for final review, it was rejected because half of the gameplay was exactly the same as another company's game!
Although the other party was not a large company, S&C had zero tolerance for such plagiarism and refused to provide them with any technical support.
They also stated that if Weisheng insists on releasing this game, they will not allow it to be listed on S&C's distribution channels.
This game actually requires a huge investment. If we lose the major distribution channel S&C, the game will definitely lose money when it launches.
What else could Wu Yun do? She had already taken all the credit, so now she had no choice but to take the blame.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I'll revise it later."
Mr. Chen sneered, "Change? You think it's just a simple matter of changing? Do you know that because of your plan, S&C has now re-examined all of our company's products?"
"Several games have already had their ratings downgraded and their recommendations removed by them. From now on, all our products that want to be listed on their channels will have to go through multiple rounds of review. Mr. Wu, do you know how much money you've caused the company to lose?"
Wu Yun's face turned pale, and she tried to explain, "This plan really was made by Qiao Xing!"
Mr. Chen waved his hand, "It doesn't matter who did it anymore. What matters is that this plan has your name on it, it's something you submitted, and it caused the company to lose tens of millions. You'd better think about how to explain this to Mr. Liao."
Someone needs to take the blame for this. President Chen misplaced his trust in Wu Yun and was implicated as well. Now he finds fault with everything Wu Yun does, and he's unlikely to protect him.
This is an internal company problem that caused the company's losses. Although Wu Yun is unlikely to face a lawsuit, she may very well face the risk of being fired.
She was still dreaming of becoming the director of three departments, but now whether she can keep her job is another matter entirely.
"Wu Yun, after the meeting, it was decided that Xiao Qi will temporarily act as the sales manager until this matter is resolved. Go down and hand over the reins to him."
Wu Yun's expression changed drastically. "President Chen... are you going to fire me?"
"Didn't I say? Temporary replacement, temporary replacement. You've caused the company to lose so much money, and you're still thinking about the manager's job?" President Chen's face was also unpleasant. He said sternly, "Alright, both of you, get out!"
"I understand." Wu Yun clenched his fists, suppressing his anger as he walked out.
Qiao Xing followed him out.
After leaving the office, Wu Yun could no longer hold back. She glared fiercely at Qiao Xing, "Qiao Xing, we don't have any deep-seated hatred, do we? Why did you set such a big trap for me?"
Qiao Xing looked at her calmly, "What is President Wu saying? I don't understand."
Wu Yun laughed angrily, "Fine, I guess I'm just unlucky. I really underestimated you."
"But you're really bold. You set me up from the very beginning when you wrote XR in the proposal, didn't you?"
XR requires technical support from S&C, so the planning will definitely be sent to S&C for final review.
Wu Yun said, "Didn't you ever think that if they didn't find out, or even if they did, they would turn a blind eye, then your plan would be completely meaningless?"
Qiao Xing didn't speak. Indeed, her decision was partly a gamble. If S&C hadn't found out, she would have just been doing all the work for Wu Yun and wouldn't have lost anything.
But once they find out, the losses caused by Wu Yun will be irreparable.
She was betting on S&C's capabilities. Qiao Xing believed they had the ability to find out, and besides, they had no reason to cover up this kind of game. It wasn't a AAA title, and they wouldn't risk their company's reputation for such a game.
They wouldn't waste their company's resources on a game that's plagiarized like this.
Wu Yun sneered, "You always seem so quiet and gentle, I never expected you to be so cunning. Fine, I admit defeat, but remember this: some things you do will eventually come back to haunt you."
Qiao Xing smiled slightly and said, "After Manager Wu transferred me to the sales department, he didn't seem to care about what I did... Isn't this outcome entirely Manager Wu's own doing?"
"You... fine, you just wait!" Wu Yun said, then turned and left.
She naturally didn't notice that Qiao Xing's clenched fists were covered in cold sweat.
Qiao Xing admitted that this method was somewhat underhanded and risky. If S&C had not reviewed those games, Wu Yun would have only been criticized and would not have left the company.
What awaits her is Wu Yun's endless retaliation at the company; how could she not be afraid?
Fortunately, she won by taking the risk.
Qiao Xing let out a long breath, composed herself, and returned to her department.
No one in the department knew about this yet; they were all busy with their own things. Qiao Xing calmly returned to his seat.
I had just turned on my computer when I received a WeChat message from Bai Yi.
Bai Yi: You won't treat me like this again, will you?
Qiao Xing was slightly taken aback. She subconsciously turned her head to look at Bai Yi's position, but Bai Yi was staring at the computer and not looking at her.
Qiao Xing replied to her: You already know?
Bai Yi: I already knew, but don't worry, I won't tell anyone.
Indeed, if this gets out, probably no one in the company will dare to speak to Qiao Xing.
Because she played too hard.
"It's because Wu Yun has been targeting me, and I was forced into this situation..." Qiao Xing stared at the message, feeling quite uncomfortable. She didn't like office politics. Before entering the workforce, she imagined that a job would be one where colleagues were harmonious and helped each other.
Instead of this backstabbing and infighting, where you're constantly worried about saying the wrong thing and offending someone, and you don't even know how you've been framed.
She was distracted and annoyed at work all day.
Just before she was about to leave work, she suddenly received a WeChat message from Qin Ce.
Qin Ce: I'm downstairs at your company.
