"What?!" Sister Zheng's face lit up with joy. "Director Ye has committed a misconduct offense? With whom?"
"That Xue from the pastry counter! I heard he caught them cheating on each other!"
Sister Zheng laughed heartily, "I told you long ago that Ye Zhongping wasn't a good person! And now look what's happened!"
Sister Zheng turned to Qin Hanshu excitedly and said, "Little Qin, didn't I tell you that Ye Zhongping's smile is like that of an old fox? Oh dear, he really is a hypocrite!"
Sister Zheng laughed heartily, infecting everyone around her with her laughter.
The Labor and Wages Department office was filled with laughter.
Wu Yingxia said in a deep voice, "Everyone, be more composed! If others see this, they'll think our department is so frivolous."
Everyone then calmed down a bit.
Qin Hanshu walked to her seat and sat down. Wu Yingxia glanced at her a few times.
Qin Hanshu noticed this and said with a smile, "Sister Wu, just tell me what's on your mind."
Wu Yingxia awkwardly tugged at the corners of her mouth, thought for a moment, and then leaned closer.
"Did you know about Ye Zhongping and Xue Duoyan before?"
Qin Hanshu's expression remained unchanged as she shook her head and said, "How would I know?"
Wu Yingxia thought to herself, "That makes sense."
Ye Zhongping and Xue Duoyan were so discreet that no one in the unit noticed anything. Qin Hanshu, a newcomer who had only been in the unit for a little over half a year, how could she have such great abilities?
But Wu Yingxia still had a feeling that something was wrong, though she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.
Wu Yingxia returned to her position, putting her intuition to rest.
She's almost retired, why is she thinking so much?
If I can stay in my current position and work steadily until retirement, my life will be fulfilling.
The sensation caused by Ye Zhongping and Xue Duoyan's scandalous affair at work hadn't subsided when another bombshell piece of news arrived.
It turns out that the two were not only having an affair, but also conspiring to embezzle and accept bribes by abusing their positions, misappropriating state property, and implicating a group of people including Tian Zhigao.
Several people on the seventh floor of the department store were taken away for investigation.
"Wasn't there a rumor just a while ago that Tian Zhigao was going to be transferred to the Municipal Bureau? And now he's fallen from grace?"
"The investigation results haven't come out yet. Who knows, if he's capable, he might be able to turn things around."
"I think it's going to be tough. This time, the scale of the operation is not simple."
"Tian Zhigao and Ye Zhongping are one thing, but even Sun Liang from the finance department, such a quiet person, actually... sigh..."
"You can't judge a book by its cover."
People are discussing this matter extensively.
This storm raged for almost a week before Tian Zhigao, Ye Zhongping, and others finally reached a conclusion.
Tian Zhigao, Ye Zhongping, and a vice president of the department store were convicted of embezzlement and executed by firing squad.
Xue Duoyan was convicted of hooliganism and sentenced to ten years in prison for adultery.
Several people from outside organizations who colluded with Tian Zhigao and Ye Zhongping were also sentenced to up to twenty years in prison.
The total amount of money embezzled and accepted bribes by Tian Zhigao and Ye Zhongping reached hundreds of thousands of yuan. They had hardly spent any of the money, so it was all recovered.
Hundreds of thousands—that's an astronomical figure for most people.
Unsurprisingly, although Tian Zhigao and Ye Zhongping were no longer alive, they were still subjected to public condemnation at their workplace.
With such a major event occurring in the department store, the landscape is bound to change drastically.
With Tian Zhigao gone as general manager, the Party Committee decided, after discussion, not to appoint a separate general manager, but for the Party Secretary to take on the role concurrently.
In other words, the secretary will be in charge of all affairs of the department store from now on.
After the resolution was submitted, the municipal bureau also agreed to it.
With Ye Zhongping gone, Wang Yinghui naturally rose to the position of vice president, but he continued to hold the position of head of the labor and personnel department.
In addition, along with Tian Zhigao and Ye Zhongping, there was another vice president, so another one was promoted.
After everything settled down, Wang Yinghui called Qin Hanshu into his office.
Wang Yinghui, who usually keeps his emotions hidden, has been visibly smug these past few days.
That's normal. Anyone in Wang Yinghui's current position would be even more pleased with themselves.
As mentioned before, the Party Secretary will retire in a few years. He hasn't been involved in much work, and he probably won't be too concerned about it now.
Wang Yinghui now also holds the title of vice president, which allows him to take on more responsibilities.
In a few years, when the Party Secretary retires, Wang Yinghui will be older and more experienced, and his future will be limitless.
Tell me, who wouldn't feel a little smug after seeing such a glittering future?
"Congratulations, Section Chief, oh no, I should call you General Manager Wang now," Qin Hanshu said with a smile.
Wang Yinghui curled the corners of his mouth and waved his hands twice, "Just call me Section Chief, I'm used to it."
Wang Yinghui looked at Qin Hanshu, somewhat embarrassed.
"Xiao Qin, I've said before that I'd give you credit this time, whether it succeeds or fails, but you're still a new employee..."
Qin Hanshu heard the music and knew its elegant meaning.
"Section Chief, look at me, I'm heavily pregnant, and I'll have to take leave to go home and give birth in a few months. Let's talk about everything later."
Wang Yinghui smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly."
Although Qin Hanshu only provided information about an affair, this information was crucial. Like pulling up a radish and bringing out the mud, the information Qin Hanshu provided was that radish.
When Wang Yinghui said this, it meant that he considered Qin Hanshu as one of his own.
Qin Hanshu did not refuse.
Wang Yinghui has a bright future, and working under his wing will be much smoother.
If anything unexpected happens to Wang Yinghui in the future, it's best to withdraw promptly.
Anyway, she doesn't have a strong drive for advancement, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, she won't participate in such struggles again.
