333: Ding Jiajia's Choice
Ding Jiajia's words directly exploded the conference room.
The two test reports are actually fake?
The three team leaders were shocked. They first looked at Ding Jiajia and then turned to look at Gao Sheng.
Was Ding Jiajia mad, or was Gao Sheng crazy enough to actually produce two fake test reports at a product selection meeting?!
If both reports are false, what is Gao Shengtu doing? Did he accept kickbacks from the manufacturer?
...Then Gao Sheng is really crazy.
How much money would it take to make Gao Sheng risk his job to do such a thing?
Gao Sheng’s expression is also very interesting.
At first, Gao Sheng was stunned. Ding Jiajia's unscripted performance had caught Gao Sheng completely off guard, so much so that the anger he'd been feigning was frozen on his face. When he came to his senses, Gao Sheng's fake anger had become genuine, tinged with panic.
Ding Jiajia actually betrayed him?
Gao Sheng had long noticed that Ding Jiajia had a good impression of him, and he also enjoyed this ambiguity.
The reason Gao Sheng kept their relationship secret wasn't just because of studio regulations, but also because he knew Ding Jiajia's family was burdened. The Ding family favored sons over daughters, and Ding Jiajia's brother was ill. How could such a family, at best, be willing to support Ding Jiajia? Nancheng, with its sky-high housing prices, meant that outsiders like Gao Sheng, who wanted to settle down there, either had to find a high-earning couple and work together, or simply find a local.
During this period, Gao Sheng deliberately increased his emotional investment in Ding Jiajia in order to get the "reward" promised by Xiaogang's followers.
Ding Jiajia is short of love and money. With the double temptation of money and emotion, Gao Sheng feels that he has completely controlled Ding Jiajia.
So why did Ding Jiajia suddenly turn against us?
Gao Sheng couldn't figure it out. The more panicked he became, the louder he defended himself. "What nonsense are you talking about? I admit that I did have feelings for you before, and you responded to my advances, but I didn't confirm our relationship because of the studio's rules... I understand. You're trying to get revenge on me out of hatred!"
Gao Sheng took the initiative to confess his secret affair with Ding Jiajia.
Ding Jiajia didn't even bother to debate with Gao Sheng about the pros and cons of the relationship. She insisted that there were problems with both test reports.
"Sister Xu Yao, you have to trust me. These two test reports are issued by authoritative institutions. You can take them to the institution for verification at any time!"
Gao Sheng was not as panicked as before.
It seems that the test report is indeed authentic and the official seal is complete, so there is no problem in taking it for verification.
Xu Yao looked at the two test reports again.
"Jia Jia, Gao Sheng said the test report was real, why are you saying it's fake? Do you dare to take responsibility for what you said?"
This time, Ding Jiajia was particularly firm: "I can take responsibility! When I said the test report was fake, I didn't mean the report itself was fake. The report was indeed issued by an authoritative organization, and it was genuine when it was tested. It was the samples submitted for testing that had problems. The samples submitted by the manufacturer and Gaosheng were specially prepared. The real goods are not of this quality at all."
"You are really crazy..."
Seeing that Ding Jiajia was about to reveal the truth, Gao Sheng wanted to sew her mouth shut: "What good will it do you to frame me? Do you really have to force me to admit that we had a conversation? I'm fired, and you can't escape it either!"
Ding Jiajia had previously agreed to partner with Gao Sheng.
What’s the point of reporting Gao Sheng now?
If this kind of thing is not reported immediately, Xu Yao will never trust Ding Jiajia again.
The matter has become a big deal. Gao Sheng is going to be fired, and Ding Jiajia will not end up well either!
Ding Jiajia didn't care about Gao Sheng's hint at all. Since she had started, she would not stop. She told Gao Sheng everything about how he cared about her and how he tried to win her over to cooperate in tampering with product selection, including how much commission she could get after the success and the promise of switching to another team.
Ding Jiajia's story was so convincing that it didn't sound like a fabrication at all.
Besides, why did she make these up?
There is no need to use such drastic measures to force Gao Sheng to leave. If the story is true, Ding Jiajia will also be fired!
In the conference room, the three team leaders were completely stunned.
Xiaoling, who was taking notes at the meeting, was furious and started to point at Gao Sheng's nose and curse:
"Gao Sheng, you're such a traitor!"
No wonder Sister Xu Yao said that Ding Jiajia’s problem was not whether to give up her job for a relationship. It turns out that what Ding Jiajia really faced was whether to betray her boss for a relationship!
No, no, it’s not just the romance, but also the compensation promised by the internet celebrity.
Gao Sheng naturally would not plead guilty so easily.
He was very cautious and discussed the product selection and manipulation with Ding Jiajia face to face, and never mentioned it on the phone or in text messages.
"I don't!"
Gao Sheng defended himself, "Sister Xu Yao, we can't just follow whatever Ding Jiajia says in this matter, right?"
Xu Yao nodded: "Of course we can't let Ding Jiajia be so vague."
Xu Yao paused, then turned to Ding Jiajia and asked, "So who is it that wants to bribe you and Gao Sheng? Judges have to look at the evidence before sentencing criminals. They can't just take whatever you say as the final word."
"Gao Sheng said it was Brother Xiaogang. However, it wasn't Brother Xiaogang himself who contacted Gao Sheng. The person was from Brother Xiaogang's team. I met him in Brother Xiaogang's live broadcast room. A few days ago, Gao Sheng felt the time was right and took me to dinner with that person. There was a test report that the person handed to Gao Sheng at the dinner table. I don't know how much the person promised Gao Sheng to pay. After the dinner, Gao Sheng transferred 100,000 yuan to me, saying it was a token of his sincerity."
It’s Brother Xiaogang.
Not only was Xu Yao not surprised, Xiaoling and the three team leaders believed it immediately.
This really seems like something Brother Xiaogang would do.
Although Brother Xiaogang is a top internet celebrity, his heart is smaller than a needle tip.
Brother Xiaogang is experienced in using instant bird's nest to plot against Xu Yao, after all, he himself has been the victim of this trick.
No wonder the car that was following Xu Yao only appeared for two or three days. It turned out that they changed their tactics.
Xu Yao then asked Ding Jiajia, "Have you ever seen Brother Xiaogang and Gao Sheng interact?"
Ding Jiajia shook her head: "I haven't seen it."
Ding Jiajia suspected that Gao Sheng had not met Brother Xiaogang either.
How could Brother Xiaogang do such a thing personally? The other party is the killer whale boss with many disciples!
“I’ve never seen it before…”
There was a hint of regret in Xu Yao's voice.
Gao Sheng struggled desperately: "I did transfer 100,000 yuan to Ding Jiajia. It was because her brother needed a kidney transplant, and I lent it to her to tide her over the difficulties! I did take Ding Jiajia to meet the people from Brother Xiaogang's team, but we didn't talk about any work matters, just simply reminiscing about the past. The test report was given to me by the manufacturer, and the other one was a sample I bought and sent for testing. If there is a problem with the quality of this brand of instant bird's nest, I was also deceived-"
Xu Yao interrupted Gao Sheng: "Why did you have to reminisce with Xiaogang's team when you could just go with anyone else? I now reasonably suspect you of leaking information. Xiaoling, call the police immediately and let them investigate everything."
"Sister Xu Yao——"
Gao Sheng refused to accept the situation. Hua Bin, who had heard the noise earlier, rushed in with Qiangzi and two new bodyguards. Gao Sheng was pinned down and unable to move.
After Gao Sheng was dragged away, Ding Jiajia's anger suddenly deflated. She slumped in her seat. "Sister Xu Yao, I didn't spend a single cent of the 100,000 yuan Gao Sheng transferred to me. I will hand it over to the police. I know I violated the studio's rules, but I definitely didn't leak the information to that person from Xiaogang's team. Can you please let me resign on my own?"
Xu Yao was surprised: "Why are you resigning? Even if you and Gao Sheng are having an office romance, Gao Sheng definitely can't stay in the studio. It's not against the rules for you to stay."
Being caught means leaving.
The process is not important. If you only look at the result, it is indeed one leaving and one staying, which is completely in line with the studio's regulations on office romances.
"But--"
"But after you learned about Gao Sheng's collusion with outsiders, you didn't report it immediately. I must criticize you for this! You may have wanted to obtain more evidence. This approach puts us in a passive position. During your investigation, Gao Sheng may have leaked a lot of business secrets... Do you realize your mistake now? Were you too hasty?"
Xu Yao’s words left Ding Jiajia stunned.
Her mistake wasn't that she didn't report it immediately, but that she really wavered...
Ding Jiajia's eyes turned red when she realized that Xu Yao wanted to keep her.
"Sister Xu Yao, I, I actually—"
"Since you've done something wrong, you must accept the punishment, otherwise you won't learn your lesson. From today on, you won't be selected as the product team leader. When you can take on Gao Sheng's part of the job, you can be the team leader again!"
Ding Jiajia finally couldn't help but burst into tears.
Xu Yao actually kept her and she kept the job.
Although there has been an adjustment in her job level, Xu Yao said that as long as she works hard, she can be elected as the product team leader in the future!
Gao Sheng was taken away and Ding Jiajia was demoted again. In an instant, there were only three product selection teams left in the studio, and the three team leaders were all troubled by their work tasks.
As for what exactly happened between Ding Jiajia and Gao Sheng, the three team leaders didn't ask much.
It is obvious that the boss is willing to give Ding Jiajia another chance.
After the three team leaders left, Xu Yao called Ding Jiajia, whose eyes were red, and said, "Jiajia, congratulations! You made the right choice."
Ding Jiajia wiped her eyes and said, "Sister Xu Yao, I'm actually not that noble. The reason I chose to expose Gao Sheng in the end wasn't just because you asked me to talk to you, but also because I felt that staying in your studio offered more prospects than switching to Brother Xiaogang's team."
