Chapter 58 Subconscious Partiality
When Shen Yixiao came out, I had already fallen asleep.
He has been very conscious of not touching me recently because he is afraid that I will be angry. The more important reason is that he has already been satisfied with Lu Xiaoyun and there is no need to force me.
I feel disgusted and relieved at the same time, which is very contradictory.
After taking three days off, Lu Xiaoyun returned to the company.
When she came to the HR department, I was busy researching how to make better coffee and was really bored.
Behind her, there was a girl about her age, wearing a high imitation suit and with a look of pride in her eyes. As soon as she came into the HR department, she greeted everyone first and had a very outgoing personality.
Lu Xiaoyun was talking to Manager He, and I was listening while drinking coffee.
"Manager He, her name is Jiang Fang. Please take good care of her." Lu Xiaoyun said to Manager He in a low voice.
"Secretary Lu, don't worry." Manager He responded politely.
Then Lu Xiaoyun looked at me and wanted to leave, but she came back and greeted me politely, "Madam, Jiang Fang is my cousin. She just graduated from college and was hired by our company."
"Yeah." I nodded, no objection.
In fact, I knew that this was a backdoor. As a popular figure around Shen Yixiao, Lu Xiaoyun had some power. After saying hello to me, she left first.
Jiang Fang was assigned to the workstation next to me. As soon as she sat down, she greeted me, "Hello, sister. My name is Jiang Fang. We will be colleagues from now on. Please take care of me."
Very sweet mouth, looks good.
I smiled and nodded, then continued drinking my coffee.
It was not until lunch time that I heard a rumor from a colleague that Lu Xiaoyun had arranged a lot of people to work in the company. Among ten people who got in through the back door, at least seven were hers. Even classmates of distant relatives were arranged to work in the company.
I didn't know about this in my previous life because I rarely cared about the company's affairs.
But there is one thing I know, that is, Lu Xiaoyun's family is very poor. Shen Yixiao once told me that her parents died when she was young, and she was raised by her uncle and aunt. She relied on part-time jobs and social support when she was studying. After she started working, she immediately became the blood bag of her uncle's family.
It sounds like a tragic story. Shen Yixiao likes her so much and feels sorry for her, partly because the two of them had similar circumstances since childhood. In his eyes, Lu Xiaoyun is a poor little creature, just like himself in the past.
"Li Yue, please help me hand this report to Mr. Shen." In the afternoon, Manager He brought another report and asked me to go up and hand it to Shen Yixiao.
I took the report to the president's office, but Shen Yixiao had already gone to the meeting. I placed the report directly on his desk and then returned to the HR department.
When it was almost time to get off work, I heard that important documents were lost in Shen Yixiao's office, and they were going to focus on checking people who had entered the office after 2pm, and I was among them.
Because of my special identity, other people didn't suspect anything at all and just asked me to go to the office.
When I went up, the secretarial department was silent and everyone was very nervous. When they saw me coming, Lu Xiaoyun stood up and opened the door for me with a faint smile on her face, "Madam, Mr. Shen is inside."
"Yeah." I nodded and walked in. Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaoyun also followed in.
Shen Yixiao had a gloomy face, sitting on the sofa smoking a cigarette, and it was obvious that he was in a bad mood. When he saw me and Lu Xiaoyun come in, he put out his cigarette, and after his expression eased a little, he stood up, held my hand, and asked me to sit down on the sofa with him.
Lu Xiaoyun stood beside me, the smile on her face faded a little, and she glanced at me from time to time.
"What file is missing?" I asked.
Shen Yixiao told me what happened. It was a salary adjustment document for the company's managers and a layoff list. It had not been finalized yet. Once it was seen by the company's employees in advance, there would definitely be unrest. And after two o'clock this afternoon, I was the only one who entered the office.
There was no surveillance camera in the office, but there was one outside. Shen Yixiao had already checked the surveillance camera. In the surveillance camera, I did go into his office around 2:30, and when I left, I was holding a file bag in my hand.
I looked at the surveillance footage on my phone. A few minutes after I left, Lu Xiaoyun appeared. She also went into the office and came out with a cup in her hand and nothing else.
"Chen Yixiao, do you mean to doubt me now?" I turned off the surveillance screen and questioned Shen Yixiao in a cold voice.
He coaxed me helplessly, "Wife, I'm not doubting you, I'm just worried that you might have accidentally taken the wrong thing. There are many errors in that document, and it must not appear between employees. The company belongs to the two of us, so how could I doubt you?"
"You also know that we are husband and wife and have a community of interests. Why would I do such a thing? Besides, didn't Secretary Lu also go in after I left? Why did you exclude her?" I changed the subject and pointed the finger directly at Lu Xiaoyun.
Lu Xiaoyun's expression changed immediately. She shook her head innocently, "Madam, Mr. Shen was in a meeting at that time and asked me to come to the office to get him a water cup. I was only in there for half a minute, and you saw it in the surveillance video. I only got a cup!"
Shen Yixiao frowned and defended Lu Xiaoyun, “Wife, Secretary Lu will definitely not take it, don’t doubt her.”
I don't know when his trust in her has become so deep.
He believed that Lu Xiaoyun would never do anything to harm him, but he suspected that I had entered his office and taken the wrong document.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Lu Xiaoyun's lips, but it disappeared in a flash.
After Shen Yixiao realized that there was something wrong with his attitude, he squeezed my hand and said, “Wife, that’s not what I meant. Whether it’s you or Secretary Lu, I believe it.”
"But there were only two of us who entered the office, so one of them must have taken it, right?" My voice was very soft, without a trace of emotion or warmth. My heart had already turned cold. In fact, I shouldn't care about his attitude. I have seen this kind of subconscious favoritism many times in my previous life and I should be used to it.
But I just feel uncomfortable, as if there are thousands of thorns piercing my heart. I can't see the wound but it hurts.
Shen Yixiao was once betrayed by his subordinates. When he was beaten half to death and sent to the hospital, I cried so hard that I almost fainted. Later, he found out that the other party had a call record with me. I wanted to explain, but he stopped me. "No need to explain. No matter what happens, I will always believe in you. Shen Yixiao will always believe in Li Yue unconditionally."
Now what? Everything is a joke now. I am the first person he suspects if something goes wrong.
"Boss Shen." Lu Xiaoyun spoke, her voice trembling slightly, as if she had suffered a great injustice, "I believe it was not Madam who took it. She is your wife, how could she do that? If someone must bear the blame, then let me bear it."
