Tao Xueying stepped forward happily: "Squad leader, you've come."
Yu Yao smiled and nodded at her, then looked at the person who had just insulted her.
What kind of thing is it to talk badly about someone behind their back and get caught by the person in question?
Those people said that when Yu Yao saw her looking over, she quickly lowered her head.
Yu Yao stopped there, ignoring the others, and looked at Zhao Meili, "Why isn't Team Leader Zhao answering? Is it because you don't want to talk or are you afraid to talk?"
Zhao Meili was startled. Could it be that she knew something?
She feigned composure, "Squad Leader Yu, what do you mean by that? Is there anything I wouldn't dare to say? You don't doubt me, do you?"
Even if Yu Yao has suspicions, so what? Without evidence, as long as she stubbornly refuses to admit it, there's nothing Yu Yao can do to her.
Yu Yao smiled and said, "Team Leader Zhao, what are you saying? I never said you did it, so why are you panicking?"
Zhao Meili became even more suspicious: "Squad Leader Yu is joking. Why would I be flustered? But does Squad Leader Yu have someone he suspects when he says that?"
“Team Leader Zhao is really smart. There are definitely suspects. And I have evidence.” Yu Yao winked at her playfully.
Zhao Meili looked startled and hesitated before asking, "Do you have evidence?"
"Of course, otherwise why would I have agreed to report it to the police? According to Chinese law, stealing and intentionally damaging important business documents is a criminal offense, punishable by imprisonment for not less than five years and not more than ten years once the conviction is established."
The punishment was obviously fabricated, and Yu Yao spoke of it without batting an eye, so no one doubted her.
The workers in the workshop were shocked.
It's just a matter of tearing up a document, why is the sentence so long?
Zhao Meili's palms were sweating, and although she tried to appear calm, she was already on edge.
She just wanted to get revenge on Yu Yao, she didn't want to get herself arrested, what should she do?
She clearly didn't tell anyone about this, and she did it secretly all by herself. She even deliberately distracted the factory's security guards while she was doing it. How could Yu Yao have any evidence? Where exactly did things go wrong?
Zhao Meili was unsure whether Yu Yao was telling the truth or not.
She naturally didn't want to report it to the police; the police are so powerful, who knows if they might find any clues.
The outcome of taking this matter to the factory versus taking it to the police was drastically different.
Zhao Meili suppressed her panic and said, "This kind of thing happening in the factory is a disgrace. If it gets out of hand, it will damage the factory's reputation. I think it's enough to just report it to the factory manager and let the security department investigate the mastermind."
After Zhao Meili finished speaking, she gave her confidant a wink.
Upon receiving the message, the other party immediately replied, "We shouldn't air our dirty laundry in public. I think Team Leader Zhao is right. Last year, our factory finally gained a good reputation. If mismanagement issues are exposed now, our good reputation from the beginning will be tarnished. What will people think of our factory then?"
Zhao Meili's other follower also said:
"If word gets out, people will definitely doubt the capabilities of our factory. It would be a losing proposition, and the consequences would be far more serious than the destruction of the data."
Yu Yao rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment, "You're all right, I agree."
Zhao Meili and her confidants were overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Yu Yao say, "Reporting to the police is the right thing to do."
"Huh?" Zhao Meili and her follower were dumbfounded. "Squad Leader Yu, didn't you say you agreed with our statement? Why did you call the police again?"
Yu Yao gave an innocent smile: "Think about it, this only happened this morning, and it's only been a short time, yet the whole new factory already knows about it. What does that mean?"
"What does that mean?" Zhao Meili's follower asked.
Yu Yao continued, "This means that someone is stirring things up behind the scenes, trying to escalate the situation. This person must be the mastermind."
"Their real intention is not what it seems. Destroying the documents is just a smokescreen. Their real purpose is to ruin the reputation that our factory has worked so hard to build. If we choose to settle things quietly, we will fall into their trap. When we let our guard down, all they need to do is make this a public spectacle, and we will lose."
"By then, we will be in a passive position, and we will be at a disadvantage even if we try to explain. In conclusion, we should take the initiative to build the wall and, before the other party can react, report it to the police to prove our determination to protect our reputation."
Zhao Meili's follower nodded, completely fooled, and actually thought that what Yu Yao said made a lot of sense.
This was exactly the reaction Yu Yao wanted.
If this matter doesn't escalate, even if the culprit is caught, it will only be a lot of noise but little punishment, not enough to make an example of someone.
The situation needs to escalate and become serious so that the mastermind behind it can be severely punished.
"Well said!" A series of claps rang out behind Yu Yao.
Everyone looked towards the doorway.
Factory Director Wang, Jiang Zhiwei, and Zhao Shengli were standing at the entrance.
Zhao Shengli nodded to Yu Yao, and Yu Yao returned his gaze with a thank you look.
Before coming, in order to make a big fuss about this matter, she specifically asked Zhao Shengli to go to Jiang Zhiwei and Factory Director Wang.
The fact that the documents were kept in the office was known only to her and Deputy Squad Leader Liu, so logically the murderer couldn't have known.
Zhao Meili's appearance was definitely not a coincidence.
She had the motive and the opportunity to commit the crime, and was also the direct beneficiary of it.
The probing just now made Yu Yao even more certain of her suspicions.
Zhao Meili was the one who did this.
Zhao Meili suppressed her panic and said with a worried expression, "Director Wang, Director Jiang, you've come at the right time. Something terrible has happened. The materials for the Canton Fair that need to be printed were torn up and destroyed in Squad Leader Yu's office. Now the printing is in a mess."
Jiang Zhiwei said, "Director Wang and I both know about this. After something like this happened, whoever is responsible should take responsibility."
