I said firmly, "Yuan Yaxin can't escape responsibility for framing Fang Guoxu."
Han Zicang disagreed and pushed the phone back to me.
"Yuan Yaxin had nothing to do with this matter; she was also a victim. Zhu Lin confessed everything she had done to Yuan Yaxin last night and apologized to her. Yuan Yaxin came to me early this morning and explained everything clearly. She admitted that she had failed to discipline her subordinates, offered to resign on Zhu Lin's behalf, and was willing to deduct her own bonus from last quarter to compensate Fang Guoxu."
I was stunned. Yuan Yaxin completely cleared herself of all responsibility with just a few words?
Given Han Zicang's clear-cut personality, did he really believe Yuan Yaxin's far-fetched explanation?
I was puzzled and indignant at the same time. I pulled out the video again and said, "Chairman, Zhu Lin admitted it herself..."
"Just because she admits it doesn't mean it's true. Judging from her expression last night, she must have been terrified and started talking nonsense to protect herself. Such nonsense is unbelievable."
He actually trusted Yuan Yaxin so firmly?
I once suspected that the Han Zicang in front of me was an imposter.
He even proactively asked me, "Now that the matter has been thoroughly investigated, delete these videos now. Otherwise, they will spread and damage the company's reputation."
On the surface, he was defending the company, but I felt that every word Han Zicang said was to protect Yuan Yaxin.
Even if this video is exposed, it will not bring any negative impact to the company. On the contrary, it can bring a wave of fame.
Han Zicang is such a shrewd businessman that he must be aware of this.
Unless he doesn't want to punish Yuan Yaxin at all, and doesn't want Yuan Yaxin to be affected by this matter.
When did Han Zicang start defending Yuan Yaxin like this?
I was caught off guard by Han Zicang's sudden change of heart. Although I didn't understand why he was shielding Yuan Yaxin, he was the chairman, and I wasn't arrogant enough to go against him.
I could only respond unhappily.
"What about Fang Guoxu? The company falsely accused him in public, causing an uproar throughout the company. Shouldn't they publicly apologize and clarify the matter?"
I'm just trying my best to seek fairness for Fang Guoxu.
As for Fang Guoxu, who was falsely accused, Han Zicang planned to keep the matter quiet: "Zhu Lin has been suspended. As for Fang Guoxu, I will have the finance department give him an extra 10,000 yuan as compensation this month. Once he has rested well, he can return to work."
"Is that all?" I persisted, insisting that Fang Guoxu deserved an apology. "He was framed. If the company doesn't clarify the matter for him and explain the truth, he'll still be labeled a thief even if he returns. That's unfair to him."
Han Zicang looked at me with a strange look in his eyes, as if my persistence was within his expectations.
He hesitated for a moment, then changed his tone and said, "How about this? I will issue a statement within the company to prove Fang Guoxu's innocence."
At the same time, Han Zicang was putting pressure on me with his eyes, suggesting that I should not push my luck any further.
I know that this is the greatest compensation I can get for Fang Guoxu.
I said tactfully, "Thank you, Chairman."
I picked up the phone on the table and was about to go back to work, but was stopped by Han Zicang.
"Lan Shan."
I paused and turned around suspiciously.
Han Zicang said meaningfully, "I admire your character, but I want to give you a piece of advice. Being too rigid can easily lead to failure. Knowing the truth while keeping the dark side is also a way of dealing with people."
