Chapter 12 The Scapegoat
What made her even more confused was that many projects were marked with unusual names or codes.
She had no idea whether this list would cause other troubles or whether she could hand it over.
She just vaguely felt that this list was unusual.
Before leaving, Zhao Weiqing told her not to act rashly.
He also reminded her not to show the surveillance screenshots to others.
Could it be that he knows what's going on here?
Looking back, Mr. Zhao's expression at the time was extremely serious, and his words were full of warnings.
Now the list is in her hands.
She really wanted to ask Zhu Jinsong what he wanted to do with this list?
But then she thought, this list originally belonged to the cleaning warehouse and originally belonged to the manor.
Even without considering the legal provisions, based on professional ethics alone, Zhu Jinsong is qualified and has the right to ask her to return the lost items.
Chen Yan lowered her head slightly and said, "Supervisor, Gao Xiaolin tried to attack me yesterday afternoon just to steal this list." The scene was still vivid in her mind. Although she suffered no obvious physical injuries, it left an indelible mark deep in her heart.
"I don't know what purpose this list serves."
"But it did freak me out that he did that."
"I was very scared, but I also realized that I couldn't let him get this information easily."
"So I took it away last night and it's still hidden at a trusted friend's house."
"Today is Saturday. I will get the list back tomorrow and put it in the cleaning warehouse on Monday morning." Shen Yan said calmly.
She will have a day off tomorrow and will send the list back the next working day.
Zhu Jinsong was not in a hurry. He smiled slightly and said gently, "Don't bother with that. Just give it to me when you get it."
"We will take care of it," Zhu Jinsong added.
Shen Yan's heart was full of doubts, but there were some things she couldn't ask.
She wanted to ask what the purpose of this list was, and what they were going to do with it.
But these were not questions she could ask.
She nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll find Assistant Zhu on Monday morning and ask him to bring me to you."
"Yeah. Go ahead."
As soon as she walked out of Zhu Jinsong's office, Shen Yan's originally straight back suddenly collapsed.
Zhu Lanlan was waiting for her outside the door.
When Shen Yan saw Zhu Lanlan, she immediately straightened her back and shouted loudly: “Assistant Zhu!”
Zhu Lanlan glanced in the direction of the office and said to her coldly, "Come with me to the factory."
Factory? What happened to the factory?
Shen Yan’s heart was full of questions.
Zhu Lanlan whispered as she walked, "The supervisor ordered this morning to terminate cooperation with the factory."
What!
After listening to this, Shen Yan was confused and excited!
Seeing her lips curled up, Zhu Lanlan snorted, "Don't be too happy too soon. Stopping cooperation with the factory will only make us passive."
"The people above do things based on their mood. They cooperate with whoever they want, and stop immediately if they don't want to cooperate."
For some reason, the upper echelons of the manor saw the factory and Gao Xiaolin's arrogant scene.
Zhuang Yuan was very dissatisfied with the actions of the factory and Gao Xiaolin.
They looked down on him and directly issued a notice to cancel the cooperation between the factory and Gao Xiaolin.
The people in the manor will not be bullied.
Someone dared to throw a chair at the manor staff on the manor's territory. This is acting wildly in front of the manor.
This behavior is undoubtedly a serious provocation to the dignity of the manor.
So at eight o'clock in the morning, Gao Xiaolin was taken under control.
Before Gao Xiaolin fully woke up from his dream, he was pinned to the ground by several strong men.
Manor also called the factory and asked to terminate all cooperation.
Zhu Lanlan shook her head. "But as the executor of the manor's daily affairs, this is just the beginning of the headache."
"Do you still want to use the tools?" she asked softly.
"If a floor scrubber worth tens of thousands of yuan breaks down, who should I ask to repair it? Where can I buy broken parts?"
"If I want the plum blossoms in the garden to climb up the trellis, I need to build a special steel frame. What material should I use for this frame? And who should be assigned to build it, weld it, and assemble it?"
"The people above only care about one thing, which is whether you can get things done on time." Zhu Lanlan said helplessly.
"They don't care how to do it, who to find, or when to do it."
"We don't have any factories to help us, which means we don't have anyone on hand to handle these problems!"
She actually understood very well what Zhu Lanlan said.
"But if we allow the factory to dictate our decisions and bully us at will, that would be too much!"
"Do you think it's too much?" Zhu Lanlan sneered, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of her mouth.
Zhu Lanlan said slowly: "I hope you will think so in the future."
Although she didn't quite understand the deep meaning of her words, Shen Yan had a strong intuition: if they lost the support of this factory, there might be a lot of trouble waiting for them ahead.
Shen Yan frowned and thought for a while before asking, "Assistant Zhu, what if we change factories?"
Zhu Lanlan asked coldly, "Which company should we change to? Who can do this job?"
The question was like a bucket of cold water poured on Shen Yan, making her sober up instantly.
In fact, Zhu Lanlan has tried to cooperate with other manufacturers.
However, being able to work closely with the estate not only requires being on call at all times, but also has very strict requirements.
More importantly, the interpersonal relationships involved are extremely complex.
Previously, several manufacturers were willing to try, but they all gave up halfway for various reasons.
In fact, Chen Yan really wanted to recommend Lin Youfa's small mobile factory to Zhu Lanlan, but considering the many potential risks, she decided to observe for a while before making any decision.
After realizing that she had no better suggestions to offer at the moment, Shen Yan chose to remain silent.
The two returned to Zhu Lanlan's office shortly afterwards.
Outside the office door, the factory director Zhuang, He Junshan who was in charge of external affairs, and Zhu Jinian who seemed to have a prominent background were already waiting there.
Especially when Shen Yan saw He Junshan, her eyes became unusually sharp.
If looks could really hurt, He Junshan would have been beaten badly.
Director Zhuang greeted them with an apologetic smile: "Assistant Zhu, you're finally back!"
Zhu Lanlan glanced at them and pushed open the office door. "Come in."
Sitting down at the desk, she picked up her pen and wrote twice before looking up. "Director Zhuang, please take a seat."
Director Zhuang smiled and said, "Okay!"
Zhu Lanlan folded her hands and placed them lightly on the table, her expression indifferent. "I know why you are here."
"Unfortunately, your previous actions were truly unacceptable, and I can't help you."
Director Zhuang hurriedly bowed and pleaded, "Assistant Zhu, I absolutely need your help with this!"
"Please give us a chance to live. If we lose the big order from the manor, we'll be finished!"
