In the end, Xia Yu opened the electronic document tremblingly. There were only some materials and data collection in the document, but no complete meeting report.
Xia Yu's face turned pale. She bit her lower lip tightly and stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do next.
At this point, even some veteran shareholders who had remained silent at the beginning began to express their dissatisfaction.
It seems that nothing has been prepared for this meeting.
The pot-bellied Director Wang glanced at the people with different expressions and said with some pride, "Boss Qin, as far as I know, this woman is one of your subordinates. You didn't manage your subordinates well this time."
At this time, some people were wondering, doesn't President Qin have a secretary who is very capable? When did he replace her with a woman like this who can't carry anything and messes up important things?
Qin Zun said: "She is indeed my secretary."
Director Wang began to shout, "Since she is close to you, and your subordinates made a mistake, shouldn't President Qin give us an explanation? After all, everyone here is very busy."
Some people began to agree with Mr. Wang's words, asking Qin Zun to deal with Xia Yu properly. Some, for Qin Zun's sake, began to plead with Xia Yu. There were also some centrists who did not dare to decide what the current situation was and remained silent.
These old guys are usually extremely shrewd. They began to infer conspiracy theories. Logically speaking, even a secretary who had just joined the company not long ago would not make such a mistake. Could it be that someone was playing tricks and caused this situation?
Qin Zun met Director Wang's gaze directly and said, "What do you want to be explained?"
Director Wang waved his hand and said simply, "Then just fire her."
Director Wang knew that Xia Yu was Qin Zun's man, but he also knew in his heart that it was impossible to shake Qin Zun's position as president with just such a small matter. He did this to kill Qin Zun's fighting spirit and give him a warning.
After all, he had been bullied by Qin Zun for many years before. This time he finally found an opportunity, and for the sake of his own face, of course he had to make up for it.
Qin Zun pondered for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to fire someone directly. This matter is both big and small. It's just a work mistake, but firing someone is a bit too harsh a punishment."
Someone nearby jokingly said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, Boss Qin's understanding of the bigger picture is truly touching. I wonder if he's saying this for the public good, or for his own selfish reasons? It's obvious this young woman started working without any company training. Logically, the company wouldn't hire someone with such inexperience, but not only is she here, she's even working alongside Boss Qin..."
Everyone present was a smart person. Even without him saying it, everyone understood what he didn't say. This girl must have used connections to get into the company. As for whose connections she used, it was obvious.
So, were Qin Zun's seemingly fair words actually a plea for mercy for the little girl?
Some people began to look at Xia Yu with a hidden and obscene look. They had occasionally heard that the relationship between President Qin and this little girl seemed a little unclear. Before, they had not taken this rumor to heart. After all, in so many years, they had never seen Qin Zun show any affection towards any woman.
Now it seems that this may not be groundless.
In a moment, those people had their own thoughts in their minds.
Director Wang then said hypocritically, "The company is not allowed to hire people through the backdoor. This was proposed by you, President Qin. Now you are the first to break this rule. If you don't punish me severely, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince everyone."
Regardless of whether this girl got into the company through Qin Zun's relationship or not, he would fire her. In this way, when other people see that Qin Zun can't even protect the people around him, they will definitely turn to his side.
The atmosphere in the entire office is now extremely tense, and the air is filled with tension.
Although the company has stated that recruitment must be conducted in a fair, just and open manner and that backdoors are not allowed, in reality, who among all those present can pat their chests and guarantee that they have never bribed others to make their subordinates profit for them, and who has not recruited their capable confidants and relatives into the company?
For them, recruiting someone to be by their side is just a small matter and there is no need to make such a big fuss about it.
Today's drama is clearly aimed at Qin Zun.
Qin Zun looked at Xia Yu. Her face was pale and she looked like she was about to collapse. It seemed that what happened now had hit her hard.
He retracted his gaze and said casually, "Director Wang's suggestion is very good. Since he entered the company through informal channels, firing only this one person may not have a deterrent effect on the people inside the company. Why not take this opportunity to investigate the entire company from top to bottom?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the conference room was in an uproar.
"Hey, this is unacceptable!"
"That's unnecessary. It's just a small matter. Why would you need to check the entire company?"
"Yeah, every company has its share of messy issues. There's no need to make a big deal out of a small matter."
......
Everyone began to speak out in unison to oppose the thorough investigation. Before, they could just sit back and watch the show because this matter did not involve their interests. They did not want to offend the veteran shareholders of Mr. Wang's faction, nor did they want to offend the rookie president Qin Zun.
Seeing that the wind was not blowing in their favor and the war was about to spread to them, they began to get anxious.
Even from a few meters away, one could see that Director Wang's face was ashen with anger.
He stared at Qin Zun with gritted teeth, thinking it was a good move to remove the fuel from the fire and divert the trouble away. He obviously just wanted to get rid of the little girl next to Qin Zun and temper Qin Zun's edge, but Qin Zun actually escalated the whole thing and said that he would thoroughly investigate the company. What if this thorough investigation revealed something that implicated other people, other shareholders, and the company's senior management would definitely hold a grudge against him.
Qin Zun sat on the chair and asked calmly, "Director Wang, what do you think?"
Even though Director Wang was reluctant at this point, he had no choice but to relent and said, "Since this employee is Mr. Qin's subordinate, Mr. Qin will naturally decide whether he stays or leaves. As for a thorough investigation of the company, that's unnecessary."
Other directors also came out to plead for him, and finally Qin Zun gave up the idea.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Director Wang had no choice but to stand up and said to Xia Yu harshly, "Since we're not ready for this meeting, let's find another time. I hope you don't make such a big mistake next time, otherwise no one will be able to protect you when the time comes!"
Xia Yu was a little girl who had just turned eighteen and was well protected by her family. She had never seen such a scene before and was so scared that she was at a loss and could only say yes repeatedly.
