To escape being sold for betrothal gifts, Song Mai chooses to have a flash marriage with a stranger, Chu Xing, on the same day. After getting their marriage certificate, she still doesn't know ...
Li Yan was furious, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Song Mai was murderous.
"The company did win the project, but the contract was supposed to be signed this morning. Now, you've sold the project information to Kexin. Kexin's people have already contacted the project owner again. The project owner believes that Kexin understands the project better and offered a lower price, so they've already signed a contract with Kexin. The project that was already in hand has now been poached by Kexin."
He glared at Song Mai with uncontrollable rage:
"Do you know how much time and effort the company spent to secure this project, and how much loss your actions have caused the company! If our people hadn't bumped into the Kexin people this morning when they went to the client's company to sign the contract and seen the documents they were holding, we would still be kept in the dark by you, completely unaware of your actions, and would only have been left to suffer the consequences!"
Song Mai stood up straight, still looking very calm and composed.
“I knew nothing about this, I never betrayed the company, and I have never had any contact with Kexin.”
But Li Yan clearly didn't believe it at all.
"Do you think what you're saying is credible? This information is unique to you; who else could it be but you!"
Fang Yu quickly added:
"Yes, although I am also the manager of the Spanish Department, you are fully responsible for the business aspects. I am only responsible for personnel management. I have never seen this document before. Moreover, I asked other people in the Spanish Department, and they all said they had never seen this document. They only heard that the project was being discussed, and they didn't even know that the project had been secured. Song Mai, if you're going to lie, at least make it believable."
"Song Mai, this project has been snatched away by Kexin. The company will lose at least several million. How are you going to compensate us? The company trusts you so much that it entrusted you with the business of the Spanish department. Are you really going to sell the company for such a small profit?"
Li Yan took several deep breaths before he could control his temper.
"You've been in this business for years, don't you know that selling client information and betraying the company is a major taboo? What company would want someone like you!"
A chill ran through Song Mai. In the past few days, apart from her regular work, she had devoted all her attention to the Song family's affairs, neglecting to pay attention to those who harbored ill intentions towards her, thus giving them time and opportunity.
Her thoughts raced. At this moment, she had no time to think about when or under what circumstances the other party obtained the information. Right now, the most important thing was to keep her job and prove her innocence. Song Mai was only thinking about how to persuade Li Yan to give her some time.
As long as Li Yan is willing to give her time, she will definitely be able to find evidence to prove her innocence.
"Vice President Li..."
"Song Mai, even now you still show no remorse!"
However, before she could finish speaking, Fang Yu interrupted her, his words carrying a hint of forcefulness and urgency.
Song Mai immediately realized that this matter was related to Fang Yu.
Even if he didn't do it himself, he would definitely be involved in it.
She placed the folder on the table, her gaze fixed on him.
"Why should I repent if I didn't do it? Manager Fang, why are you so eager to pin the blame on me? Could it be that you did this and are trying to shift the blame onto me?"
Fang Yu was surprised that Song Mai remained so calm even at this point. A hint of panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly realized that he had done this so secretly that even if Song Mai suspected something, she would have no way to prove it. He then became confident and self-assured.
"You know in your heart whether you did it or not. The facts are right in front of you, and this document, given only to you, is the best evidence!"
Li Yan rubbed his temples, no longer wanting to listen to Song Mai's explanation.
"Alright, that's enough. Song Mai, since you've done this, you should bear the consequences. From today onwards, you're officially fired from the company. We'll blacklist you in the industry. Good luck! You can pack your things and leave!"
After saying that, Li Yan strode out of the conference room, and the others followed him.
Fang Yu remained seated, his eyes filled with smugness as he looked at Song Mai.
Song Mai's face was somewhat pale, and her eyes were sharp as knives.
Why did you do this? I have never offended you.
Fang Yu pretended to be clueless: "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
"Oh……"
Song Mai couldn't help but laugh out loud, her smile full of sarcasm.
"Manager Fang, you've achieved your goal. There's no need to keep acting now."
Seeing that Song Mai had ruthlessly torn off his mask, Fang Yu also revealed his true colors, his triangular eyes filled with venom.
"Why? Don't you understand? Why is it that after working so hard for so many years to finally become a manager, you can be promoted so easily? Why is it that other departments only have one manager in charge of everything, while the Spanish department has to have you as the deputy manager? With you around, business matters are no longer my responsibility. It's like I've been sidelined as the manager. Who in the department still cares about me?"
Everyone goes to you, the deputy manager, for everything, but what about me? What have I been working so hard for all these years? Can a simple statement like "your business acumen is strong" negate all my efforts and sacrifices?
Song Mai stared at him, her eyes looking at a stranger.
She felt as if she had never really gotten to know Fang Yu. Before, when Fang Yu helped Zheng Yao, she only thought it was because of their special relationship that he helped Zheng Yao.
Even though Fang Yu's attitude towards her remained bad afterward, she felt it was because of Zheng Yao, and that Fang Yu was unhappy because she had been promoted.
Little did he know that he had long felt that she had harmed his interests and had long hated her.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have seized the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow at this crucial moment.
"This is the company's arrangement, and I'm just following orders. Are you blaming the wrong person? Don't forget, if it weren't for me, there would be someone else. Do you think I'm the only competent person in the company? If the company can see me, it can certainly see others. Even if you fire me, this position is only temporarily vacant. Sooner or later, someone else will take it. If the company has such intentions, do you think it's hard to find someone else?"
Song Mai felt that Fang Yu was both malicious and extremely stupid.
It may seem that she harmed Fang Yu's interests, but in reality, the person who made this arrangement is the one he should truly hate.
After saying these words, she didn't bother to argue with Fang Yu any further and walked straight out of the conference room.
She didn't have time to waste; she needed to go to the company to clarify things and try to negotiate again.
She couldn't let all her years of hard work at the company go to waste, nor could she be wronged for no reason, lose her job, and then be blacklisted and vilified. Even if she left the company, she had to make a clear statement and prove her innocence!
