Chapter 13 Calling He Zheng
Call He Zheng
"So tough? You'll cry tomorrow, don't regret it!"
Yao Tianyu left this sentence, kicked over the stool and left.
Wen Ruan didn't take his words to heart. The next afternoon, she just sighed and said, "Don't speak too early."
When Yao Tianyu called, Wen Ruan was packing up in Huatang Bay.
"Wen Ruan, I told you, it's your turn to cry today."
During this phone call, Yao Tianyu said two things.
The first thing is that Dong Chao, the founder of Fireworks Studio, met with people from Minghe Capital last night. They had a very pleasant chat and if nothing unexpected happens, the contract will be signed this week.
Wen Ruan was very surprised to hear the news. She wanted to persuade He Zheng to join Chao Ce during dinner on Saturday, but she hadn't even had dinner yet, and it was already done?
Before I had time to be happy, Yao Tianyu said the second thing.
"Wen Ruan, come to the company right now. Someone reported you, saying that you were bribed by Minghe Capital and deliberately gave Chaoce to Minghe."
Wen Ruan: “?”
She thought she hadn't slept last night and her mind wasn't clear so she heard it wrongly. "Report me?"
Yao Tianyu deliberately didn't explain clearly, and only asked her to go to the company quickly, "You must be in the meeting room within half an hour, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Ruan called Jiang Qingyan to ask him if he knew about this and what they were planning to do.
As a result, Jiang Qingyan's phone was turned off.
Wen Ruan realized belatedly that an Internet company under Rongli Group would be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange this Thursday.
Jiang Qingyan has been appreciated by Yao Wei recently, and he was specially called over to accompany the group's top management to attend the event. Yao Wei asked him to go there in advance, saying that he was introducing someone to him.
This was a flight booked a long time ago for this afternoon. He should be on the plane now.
At 2:30 in the afternoon, Wen Ruan arrived at Rongli Capital.
There were quite a few people sitting in the huge conference room, led by Yao Tianyu and Yao Man, brother and sister. Except for Jiang Qingyan, almost all those with the title of "General Manager" were there, and the seats were all occupied.
The last time there was such a large-scale trial was a year ago, when the vice president of finance leaked company secrets, causing the company to lose over 100 million yuan.
Wen Ruan was brought into the conference room by Yao Tianyu's assistant. There were no stools, so she could only stand.
Everyone's eyes were on her.
Yao Man was the first to speak.
"Wen Ruan, you're such an ungrateful person! In the past few years, only you and Qing Yan have been promoted by Rongli Capital. The company has been so good to you, yet you're betraying them!"
Wen Ruan corrected her in a light tone.
"I was given an exceptional promotion because I'm capable, the company's policies are there, and the value I created was enough to warrant a promotion. It wasn't because you were being nice to me. Also, how could I be betraying you?"
Yao Man: "Someone reported that you took Minghe Capital's money and deliberately stopped the Chaoce project and gave Chaoce to Minghe."
“Who reported it?”
"Zhao Xinghui."
As Yao Man finished speaking, the door of the conference room opened and Zhao Xinghui came in from outside.
Wen Ruan was stunned and looked over in surprise. Zhao Xinghui turned his head quickly and avoided her gaze.
The whistleblower arrived and the trial officially began.
At Yao Man's signal, Zhao Xinghui lowered his head and said, "I met Mr. Yao at the bar and recorded a video. I showed it to Mr. Wen yesterday morning. When Mr. Wen learned that Mr. Yao was going to pack up Chaoce and send it to Ling Yi, he was very angry."
After he finished speaking, Yao Tianyu's assistant played the video on the projector.
There was no censorship at all. Everyone looked at the video and then looked at Yao Tianyu, and couldn't bear to watch it.
The latter didn't care at all, and even stared at the screen with a smile, as if the man touching the beautiful woman's thigh in the video was not him.
After the video was over, Zhao Xinghui's head was half lowered and his voice was a little shaky.
"Pan Rui, the person in charge of Chaoce, is the husband of President Wen's best friend. President Wen doesn't want to harm him, so he wants to stop the signing. However, Chaoce may not be able to survive without this investment at the most critical time."
"Boss Wen said that with Boss Yao's personality, if Rong Li can't sign Chao Ce, he will simply ban Chao Ce. In the entire Haicheng, only He Zheng is not afraid of Boss Yao or Rong Li."
"Minghe's investment director Qian Wei and I are schoolmates. President Wen asked me to call Qian Wei and tell him that he can give Chaoce to Minghe, but not for free. The asking price is 100,000."
Bang!
Lin Yue, the director of Investment Department 1, suddenly slammed the pen in his hand on the table and glanced at Zhao Xinghui with fierce eyes.
"If the video is real, I believe Wen Ruan stopped the contract. After all, Rong Li was cheating on her best friend's husband. If I were her, I would also stop it. But you said that she hooked up with Ming He for 100,000 yuan. That's simply nonsense!"
"Let's not talk about anything else. Just think about how Bai Qing will get several hundred thousand in a while. She's not that narrow-minded. Besides, she's not that kind of person. I think there's something wrong with you. You took the hundred thousand and framed her!"
No one expected that Lin Yue would speak up for Wen Ruan. After all, the two were competitors and had always been at loggerheads.
Zhao Xinghui said he had evidence.
Company surveillance showed that Wen Ruan entered the office at 8:30 yesterday morning, and eight minutes later, Zhao Xinghui entered her office.
At 8:50, Wen Ruan left the office and went to Jiang Qingyan's office.
During this period, Zhao Xinghui spoke with Qian Wei on the phone. There was a call record on his mobile phone, which lasted five minutes and forty seconds. Wen Ruan was in the office when the call was made.
This means that Zhao Xinghui called Qian Wei in front of her.
Wen Ruan ignored all the judging looks she received and recalled what happened yesterday.
When did Zhao Xinghui call Qian Wei?
She had no impression at all.
Let’s not talk about how he managed to make the phone call quietly. The key point is that he brought Qian Wei into this game. Isn’t he afraid that she will confront Qian Wei and expose his lies?
They made such a big fuss to attack her, and Yao Man and her brother were so confident, it was obvious that they were not afraid.
There is only one possibility...
Qian Wei is an accomplice.
As soon as the thought came to his mind, Zhao Xinghui produced new evidence, which was the chat records between him and Qian Wei.
Qian Wei: [Mr. Wen said that as long as we tell Dong Chao that you invested in Lingyi Technology, Dong Chao will definitely sign with us. It turned out he didn't lie. I took the opportunity to lower the valuation by 10%. Thank you.]
Zhao Xinghui: [Did you guys reach an agreement?]
Qian Wei: [It's done. We can sign it this week. Mr. Wen's 100,000 will have to wait. Mr. He is not in the country. He said he will come back to sign it.]
From surveillance videos to call records, and then to chat records, a bunch of "evidence" was thrown out, and the fake became real.
What's more, it is well known that Zhao Xinghui is Wen Ruan's confidant.
As for why I reported my boss——
Zhao Xinghui said, "Boss Wen was about to resign. I had offended the eldest daughter before, and I wanted Boss Wen to take me with him, but Boss Wen said it would be difficult to change jobs without me. I got angry and went to find Boss Yao."
As soon as he finished speaking, another resignation letter was played on the projector.
It was indeed the letter written by Wen Ruan, but he had not yet sent it to Jiang Qingyan.
This is also conclusive evidence. After all, Bai Xing has passed the review, and the position of vice president of the investment management center will definitely be hers. With promotion imminent, who would be stupid enough to resign at this time?
Unless you have something to hide.
Everyone in the conference room looked at Wen Ruan, their eyes filled with disappointment, confusion, ridicule, gloating, and contempt...
There was chaos all around, with people whispering and talking among themselves.
Even if someone felt something was wrong, they would not stand up to speak for Wen Ruan.
After all, the two judges leading the charge today are the group's CEO's children, the crowned prince and princess.
It's obvious that these two siblings want to get Wen Ruan.
Wen Ruan became the target of public criticism. She was nailed to the pillar of shame by these gazes, as if she was really a traitor who had committed heinous crimes.
Yao Tianyu clapped his hands, signaling everyone to be quiet. When the meeting room fell silent, he looked at Wen Ruan.
"Wen Ruan, do you have anything else to say?"
In full view of everyone, Wen Ruan took out a cell phone from his coat pocket and dialed a number. The other party picked up the phone when the ringing was about to stop.
"Wen Ruan?"
"Why aren't you talking?"
"Hello?"
A deep, husky male voice came from the other end of the phone. At first, he laughed in a breathy voice, but later, when he couldn't hear any movement from this end, his tone became higher.
Someone in the conference room heard the sound.
He Zheng, President of Minghe Capital.
When they heard who was on the other end of the line, everyone was surprised. Yao Tianyu's face turned even colder, "Why are you calling He Zheng?"
What are you calling for?
Of course, it is to help myself clarify.
Although Wen Ruan has competed with He for projects many times over the years, she still believes in He Zheng's character. No matter how excessive this man is, he will grab the projects openly and will not use any underhanded tricks.
Qian Wei just said, "Mr. He is not in China. He said he will come back to sign."
lie.
He Zheng might set a trap for her to fall into during the project, but he would never harm her.
It's also quite ridiculous.
Her old boss, for whom she had worked so hard for many years, abandoned her, and her trusted subordinates stabbed her in the back. Now the only person she can trust is her mortal enemy.
Wen Ruan looked at Yao Tianyu and said, "Of course I have to prove my innocence. Xiao Yao has to convict me, so we can't just listen to Zhao Xinghui's one-sided story. Since Minghe is involved, of course we have to hear what Minghe's boss has to say."
…
He Zheng is still in Singapore at the moment, playing golf with the vice president of a local group at a golf club. His cell phone is with his assistant Yu Yang.
When the phone rang, Yu Yang was talking to Shen Yifan. Seeing that it was Wen Ruan, he didn't intend to pay attention. After all, President He was playing basketball with the deputy president and discussing something very important.
It was Shen Yifan who heard He Zheng's cell phone ringing and asked a question.
"Who is it?"
Yu Yang: "It's Director Wen from Rongli Capital."
When Shen Yifan heard this, his tone became higher, "Wen Ruan? Then why are you still standing there? Hurry up and give the phone to He Zheng, otherwise you'll be beaten by him!"
Yu Yang then hurriedly went to deliver the phone.
He Zheng was just about to swing when he heard that it was Wen Ruan calling. He threw the club in his hand to Yu Yang, turned around to say hello to the vice president, and walked in the opposite direction of the crowd with his phone in hand.
Wen Ruan usually doesn't call him on his own initiative.
Unless something happens.
The phone was connected, but there was no sound on the other end. He Zheng was afraid that she had something urgent to tell him, so he didn't hang up. When he called for the third time, the person on the other end finally spoke.
"He Zheng."
He Zheng actually heard a hint of grievance in the indifferent tone. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly frowned.
Call him He Zheng, not Mr. He, this is a big deal.
He walked forward with his phone, to a quieter place, and spoke in a lower tone.
"I'm here."
Wen Ruan briefly explained what happened here, and then asked him:
"Qian Wei means, you know this, He Zheng, do you know this?"
He Zheng was standing on the terrace. The wind was blowing, and he had taken off his coat indoors. Now he was only wearing a black slim-fit sportswear.
She is tall and slender, noble and elegant, but also thin.
Yu Yang followed him over. Not knowing how long he would be on the phone, he was worried that he would be cold, so he was about to go in to get his coat when He Zheng suddenly waved at him.
Yu Yang hurried over.
He Zheng put the phone away and whispered a few words into his ear.
Yu Yang was shocked. Seeing He Zheng's stern expression and extremely angry temper, he didn't dare to ask a single question. He quickly replied "OK" and ran away with his phone.
During the minute He Zheng was delayed, Rong Li's conference room was already in chaos.
He was slow to speak, and everyone took his silence as a tacit agreement. They began to attack Wen Ruan again, and under the leadership of Yao Man, they discussed how to convict her.
Wen Ruan saw that He Zheng remained silent and didn't know what he meant.
He definitely didn't participate in this matter, which means he wants to protect Qian Wei?
That's normal, after all, Qian Wei is his man.
When Wen Ruan was about to hang up, He Zheng's voice suddenly came from the phone, "Wen Ruan, you are in the conference room, right?"
"Um."
He Zheng: "Turn on the speaker and turn up the volume to the maximum."
Inexplicably, Wen Ruan felt that he would not harm her. The speaker was already on, and she turned up the volume again, "Okay."
He Zheng took a deep breath and raised his voice, "Alright, I'll start scolding you then."
Wen Ruan: “…Ah?”
