Chapter 238 I Forgot
"It must be Gu's fault!" Gu Lianxing said in a firm tone.
She believed in Chen Ci. Since Chen Ci had told her this, she would not change her mind for no reason, and would not say a word to her about the follow-up.
This must be because she was wronged. According to Chen Ci's character, as long as Gu gave her a chance, she would always remember Gu's kindness regardless of whether the matter succeeded or not, instead of having her own father come to ask her these things like now.
Gu Shangyou could tell that his daughter was angry, and he was even angrier than her.
"Okay, dear, Dad will definitely get to the bottom of this matter. If it's convenient, can you give Dad Shen Ci's contact information?"
Gu Lianxing held the phone, her face puffed up with anger. She really wanted to say "it's inconvenient" capriciously, but reason told her that on one side was her father, and on the other side was her best friend. If there was a misunderstanding in between, it would be better if it could be resolved. At least her father should apologize to Chen Ci.
So he muttered reluctantly, "I'll send you her phone number."
Jiang Lingchuan stood by and watched Gu Lianxing's phone call. Although he heard a few words, he didn't know what happened. Seeing that Gu Lianxing looked unhappy, he said to the coach, "Coach, let's stop here today. Thank you for your hard work."
Upon hearing this, the coach let out a deep breath, nodded, looked at Gu Lianxing with a troubled look, and then turned and left.
He really wanted to persuade this girl to give up learning to drive.
On the other side, Li Xiaofeng, director of Gu's technical department, and Hao Peng, leader of the first technical team, came to the door of the chairman's office. Neither of them knew what had happened, but being called to the office by the chairman personally must mean something important.
"Brother-in-law, I'm a little nervous. I've never reported my work to the chairman in person." Hao Peng's nervousness was written all over his face, and his little face turned pale.
"Don't be nervous, it might be a good thing." Li Xiaofeng was relatively calm, but he was still a little worried. He went over in his mind all the outstanding projects that their technical team had completed recently.
Hao Peng pursed his lips uncertainly. The chairman himself said something good? That must be a really good thing!
Both of them were unsure, but no one thought it was related to the project that they had not met on, because Hao Peng had completely forgotten about it.
After preparing himself mentally for a long time at the door, Li Xiaofeng raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Enter."
Gu Shangyou's voice was faintly heard. The voice was cold, hard and low, which made the two of them tremble in their hearts, but there was no time to hesitate or think too much. Li Xiaofeng pushed the door open directly.
"Chairman, are you looking for us?" Li Xiaofeng walked into the office and spoke in a calm manner.
Hao Peng followed behind silently, not daring to say a word, just wanting to reduce his presence.
Gu Shangyou sat on the black leather sofa in the middle, his face filled with a layer of frost and anger. "Manager Li, do you know why I called you here?"
This opening statement caught Li Xiaofeng off guard: "No, I don't know..."
At this moment, he began to go over the recent mistakes made by the technical department in his mind, and thought that they were not big mistakes. They were just some minor technical incidents, and no mistakes would alarm the chairman to come and personally question him.
But the chairman's face looked really ugly, which was not a good sign.
"Chairman, is there anything the technical department hasn't done well? Feel free to criticize and correct us, and we'll definitely work hard to correct it."
No matter what his mistake is, just admit it first.
Gu Shangyou sneered when he heard this, and looked past Li Xiaofeng at Hao Peng: "Are you Hao Peng?"
When his name was suddenly called, Hao Peng raised his head abruptly, his eyes filled with panic as he replied, "Yes, Chairman. I'm Hao Peng, the team leader of the Technical Department."
"Tell me why I asked you to come here."
The reason why Gu Shangyou did this was that he wanted to know to what extent these two people could be derelict in their duties. They even dared not pay attention to the work he personally arranged, or even completely forgot about it.
Hao Peng had already forgotten about this incident, and since he was so nervous at the moment, he couldn't recall anything. He shook his head in confusion and said, "I don't know either."
"Oh……"
Gu Shangyou laughed in anger, looked at the two of them and nodded slightly: "Okay, I don't know."
He slowly stood up from the sofa and walked over to stand in front of Li Xiaofeng. "Manager Li, a few years ago, I personally told you something. A project team needs to conduct code testing with Gu's. Do you remember this?"
Li Xiaofeng nodded repeatedly upon hearing this: "I remember what the Chairman said. I immediately assigned this task to Project Team 1, and Hao Peng is in charge of it."
Hao Peng's heart skipped a beat. Before he could react, Li Xiaofeng turned his head and asked, "You didn't report to me about the follow-up of this project. Did you lose contact with the other party or did the test fail?"
"This..." Hao Peng opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to argue, so he could only say truthfully: "I didn't see the other party."
"No?" Li Xiaofeng was also surprised. He looked at Gu Shangyou helplessly: "Chairman, there may be a problem in the coordination between the two sides. I will contact them right away to meet up."
Hao Peng lowered his head with a guilty look on his face, and the details of that day vaguely emerged in his mind.
At first, the other party took the initiative to contact them and agreed on a time, but because a group was proofreading a new set of codes that morning, he did not go downstairs to meet the other party on time, nor did he send someone to inform them, and he did not apologize to keep them afterwards.
He allowed the other party to leave Gu's company in anger because of being neglected.
The matter came to an abrupt end without any follow-up, because he thought that the other party's eight-member team would not dare to miss this opportunity from Gu's company and would definitely bow their heads first afterwards.
So he let the other party go, thinking that he could wait and get the person back, but as he waited, he forgot about it!
Gu Shangyou didn't listen to Li Xiaofeng. Instead, he looked at Hao Peng and asked, "Hao Peng, tell me, why didn't you meet with the other party? Didn't the other party come?"
"Coming, coming." Hao Peng didn't dare to lie.
Li Xiaofeng was startled again and asked anxiously, "Why didn't you see me when I came?"
Hao Peng looked pitiful as if he had done something wrong and explained in a low voice, "I was busy at the time and didn't pay attention to them. I made them wait a little longer, and they ended up leaving in anger."
He didn't lie, but he omitted many details that were unfavorable to him.
For example, he didn't inform the other party that they needed to wait a little longer. Another example is that he showed a completely nonchalant attitude after the other party left. He even said something like, "Who can I blame for not cherishing the opportunity I gave them? Do you really think Gu's project team is idle?"
Li Xiaofeng was speechless after hearing this. He was anxious and angry: "You...why didn't you mention it to me?"
This is the job assigned by the chairman!
Hao Peng looked bitter and almost cried: "I forgot."
