Chapter 5: This is to make me take the blame
At three o'clock in the morning, in the silent room, the sharp ring of the telephone suddenly rang. Li Ruochu was immersed in a dream and was suddenly awakened by the piercing ring.
Her body trembled violently, and her originally smooth hair was now scattered on the pillow in a messy manner like a tangled mess.
Her eyes were bloodshot, filled with fatigue and anger, and even in her sleepy eyes, a rage that wanted to chop the person who called to pieces was burning in her heart.
She cursed inwardly, how many times had she been tormented tonight, it was obvious that he was determined not to let her have a good rest!
"Hello!" Li Ruochu grabbed the phone and answered the call in a bad mood. His voice was hoarse and full of irritability because he had just woken up. The tone seemed to be able to eat people.
"Madam, is something wrong?" Chen Chen had just got off the yacht, and the sea breeze was still blowing through his hair, bringing a hint of coolness.
He glanced at his phone out of habit, his eyes widened instantly, and he saw more than 30 missed calls on the screen.
In the middle of the night, my wife called so frequently, something big must have happened.
"Tell your president that there was a mistake in Shenggu's contract, and they want an explanation now. I fought for a day's time this evening. If Mr. Shen doesn't explain tomorrow, I'm afraid this contract will be completely ruined!" Li Ruochu closed his eyes, his face full of sleepiness, and every word he said seemed to have exhausted all his strength.
"Thank you for your hard work, ma'am. I'll talk to Mr. Shen right away."
Li Ruochu was too lazy to pay attention to it anymore and didn't want to say a single extra word. He simply turned off his phone, threw himself back onto the bed, covered his head with the quilt, and tried to fall asleep again.
Despite this, the next morning, Li Ruochu still went to the company with big dark circles under his eyes and heavy steps.
However, before he could reach his office, Chen Chen hurriedly stopped him.
At this moment, Chen Chen was wearing a neat suit, but his face could not hide the fatigue, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated and didn't know where to start.
But he still pulled himself together and said patiently, "Madam, the president wants you to go to his office."
"Why does he come to me instead of Mr. Feng at this time? Does he really not want to cooperate?" Li Ruochu stopped, his face full of confusion, feeling bewildered.
Chen Chen opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping himself, a complicated look flashing in his eyes.
After hesitating for a moment, he made a gesture of invitation, indicating Li Ruchu to follow him.
Li Ruochu stared at Chen Chen closely, his eyes seemed to see through him, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Pushing open the door and walking into Shen Yubai's office, Li Ruochu was stunned for a moment.
I saw that all three groups were standing there quietly, with their heads lowered, as if there was a heavy burden on their necks.
Their shoulders were shaking slightly, like eggplants hit by frost, lifeless.
When several people noticed Li Ruchu coming in, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in their originally dull eyes, as if she was their last straw.
Shen Yubai sat behind a large desk, leaning forward slightly, with his hands crossed on the table. His sharp eyes were like a blade drawn from its sheath, falling directly on Li Ruochu.
The corners of his mouth drooped slightly, and his voice was as cold as the north wind in winter: "How did you do the Shenggu project? Can't you see such an obvious mistake?"
There was an unquestionable questioning in the tone, as if Li Ruchu had committed an unforgivable sin.
Li Ruochu was puzzled. Why was the blame put on her?
"Ruochu, this matter is very serious. When you followed up on this, why didn't you tell me how much the two families would split? How can you take responsibility for such a serious mistake?"
Gu Qiuying twisted her slender waist and stood beside Shen Yubai, with her hands folded across her chest, a righteous and accusatory expression on her face.
She raised her chin slightly, with a hint of pride in her eyes, as if she was enjoying the trial of Li Ruchu.
Hearing this, Li Ruochu felt a surge of anger rising up from the bottom of her heart, and she was so angry that she almost laughed out loud.
Isn't this an obvious attempt to shirk responsibility?
"We have given up 10% of the profits in this matter. This loss is a considerable loss for the company. Secretary Li, this is your responsibility!" Shen Yubai frowned slightly, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and his tone was firm and could not be refuted.
He leaned back slightly on his chair, as if he had already made up his mind about the matter.
Li Ruochu's face instantly turned cold, like the water in a cold pond.
She looked at Shen Yubai in disbelief, her heart filled with disappointment and anger.
She didn’t expect that Shen Yubai would become so shameless for the so-called Bai Yueguang.
There was a hint of mockery in her eyes as she looked at Chen Chen and the members of Group 3: "You guys should get out first. Someone is trying to shirk responsibility. If you hear anything, I'm afraid it won't be good for you."
Now that things have come to this, they are determined to put the blame on her.
Chen Chen and his team members looked at each other and hurried out.
The office door slowly closed, Shen Yubai stood up, staring at Li Ruochu closely: "You have been following up on this project before, and you should also bear this responsibility."
"Boss Shen, you handed my half-finished project to Gu Qiuying without any explanation. Why didn't you think of giving me the bonus when you gave it to me? Now that something has gone wrong, you want me to take the blame? You shouldn't burn bridges after crossing them."
Li Ruochu straightened his back and met Shen Yubai's gaze without fear.
Shen Yubai frowned slightly, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
He knew Li Ruochu's abilities, but Qiuying had just arrived at the company and was not yet familiar with the business. How could he bear to let her take on such a heavy responsibility?
This time, let's just teach Qiuying a lesson so that she will be more careful in the future and won't make the same mistake again.
"Qiu Ying doesn't understand the business, so she can't be held responsible for this!"
"Damn, he's both in power and in office!" Li Ruochu couldn't hold back his anger any longer and cursed.
"Li Ruochu, what are you talking about!" Shen Yubai frowned, his eyes widened, and his face was full of shock and anger.
In the past, Li Ruochu had always been gentle and well-behaved in front of him, like an obedient sheep.
But now, she was so out of control.
"It's even more unpleasant to want me to tell you the whole story, Shen Yubai. You clearly know who is responsible for this matter, but you still want me to take the blame. What's the matter? Did the wind on the cruise ship yesterday damage your brain?"
"Ruochu, I know you have always misunderstood me and Yubai. If you think that letting me leave Shen's will make you happy, then I will resign now!"
Gu Qiuying cried and looked at Shen Yubai: "Ayu, this is my fault, just fire me and make Ruochu happy!"
Li Ruochu couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw this: You're just pretending!
