Chapter 1497: Elephants also launch sneak attacks
Any veteran in the workplace knows that if you shine too brightly at work and your boss becomes your foil, you are not far from being in trouble.
Because no boss is willing to serve as a foil for his subordinates, unless the subordinate has the support and confidence to confront the boss. Otherwise, he will be dealt with badly, and will be bullied and blamed, one thing after another, which will definitely make you cry without tears.
Feng Shuyun has no special background or support, and her performance is not particularly outstanding. She has been cautious and obedient during the years she has followed Cong Jinhong. However, when Cong Jinhong encountered a "disaster", she still chose to let her take the blame.
On the day Li Ye left Beijing for the southwest, Cong Jinhong called him to his office and kindly poured her a glass of water.
"Shuyun! You've been with me for over three years, right? How do you feel about me treating you during these three years?"
[How have you treated me? Don’t you know how you treated me?]
If it were in the past, Feng Shuyun would have burst into tears of gratitude, saying, "Since you have been so kind to me, I will do anything you ask of me."
But today, Feng Shuyun felt a strong disgust in her heart, and she could hardly keep the smile on her face.
Because there must be something wrong when things are abnormal, Feng Shuyun's self-righteous gentleness and affection seemed so hypocritical in her eyes.
And Feng Shuyun could probably guess what would happen next.
When Cong Jinhong asked Feng Shuyun to draft the contract, she did not consider Feng Shuyun's doubts and concerns at all, and forced Feng Shuyun to work overtime and draft the contract according to Cong Jinhong's oral instructions.
After Feng Shuyun finished drafting the contract, she felt something was wrong and smelled danger. She then made up her mind to find Li Ye and made the move of "abandoning darkness and joining the light."
When Feng Shuyun made the decision, she was very conflicted and worried, wondering if she was a bit ungrateful. But when the tax department came to check the accounts, Feng Shuyun felt relieved.
"My work has been going smoothly in the past few years, thanks to the guidance and instruction of General Manager Cong."
"What do you mean by general manager? That's too strange. Just call me sister."
Cong Jinhong looked at Feng Shuyun and said with a smile, "Shuyun, has your brother's job been arranged? You have a higher degree and more experience than your brother. You should give him more guidance in the future so that he can be promoted soon."
When Feng Shuyun heard Cong Jinhong mention her brother, alarm bells immediately went off in her mind.
When the contract was first being drafted, Feng Shuyun was very resistant. Cong Jinhong used her brother as a bargaining chip to force Feng Shuyun to submit.
Now Jin Hong is using this trick again, what exactly does he want to do?
"Shuyun! You probably know what happened to our group recently. I brought you from the southwest to the capital with the intention of giving you a good future, but I didn't expect the locals to have such deep malice towards us.
Li Ye and his people are very unruly. They do nothing but find faults. We work hard day and night, but in the end, we end up being treated as a nobody.
Take the construction contract you drafted for example! It's clearly legal and well-organized, but Li Ye is always nitpicking, finding fault everywhere.
If Li Ye really cared, why didn't he hire an expert to draft the contract? Why did he have to find fault with you after we signed the contract? This is clearly infighting."
Cong Jinhong sighed and said regretfully, "Although I have argued with Li Ye for a long time, I still have to pretend. Write a letter of apology and hand it in, and this matter will be over. Otherwise, according to Li Ye's intention, you will be dealt with seriously."
Feng Shuyun stared at Cong Jinhong in a daze. After a long pause, she murmured, "Did Deputy General Manager Li say he wanted to deal with me?"
Cong Jinhong nodded and said, "Don't underestimate Li Ye's youth. He's actually very sinister. He wanted to start with you and eventually implicate Secretary Shang and me. So, Shuyun, you've suffered this misfortune because of us."
“.”
Feng Shuyun was speechless.
There is a lot of information in Jin Hong's words.
First, he said that Li Ye wanted to kill Feng Shuyun, then he argued with Cong Jinhong and won an opportunity to write a self-criticism, and also pointed out that it was to avoid disaster for Cong Jinhong and Shangbin.
What is the implication of this statement?
"I've treated you like one of my own since I was a kid, and I've secured the best opportunity for you. Secretary Shang and I will never forget your contributions, and we'll definitely compensate you in the future."
But implied meaning is implied meaning. If what is said out loud doesn’t count, what about what is not said out loud?
If Feng Shuyun really submitted a letter of apology, it would confirm that it was her responsibility.
"Sister, I won't write this self-criticism because I'm not wrong."
Feng Shuyun gritted her teeth and said this, and immediately felt relaxed all over.
When facing your boss's PUA, as long as you refuse the first time, there is nothing to worry about, because it is impossible to make further progress anyway.
Cong Jinhong was very surprised to hear Feng Shuyun's words, but she didn't realize that Feng Shuyun had slipped out of her control. She continued to persuade her, "Shuyun, writing a self-criticism doesn't mean you're wrong. It's just a temporary solution. Secretary Shang and I both see your ability."
Feng Shuyun shook her head and said firmly, "Sister, I won't write a self-criticism. This contract was drafted according to your requirements, and I can't be the specific person responsible."
“.”
Cong Jinhong looked at Feng Shuyun in shock, as if she didn't recognize her close confidant.
Feng Shuyun is a typical "poor child". She will be deeply moved if she is given a little warmth. Jin Hong promoted her all the way to the level of section chief just to make her a "death warrior".
But when the time came for him to be of great use, this assassin actually dared to disobey?
Cong Jinhong's face was covered with frost, and she asked Feng Shuyun coldly, "What do you mean? You're not the one responsible? Is it me?"
Feng Shuyun gritted her teeth and looked into Cong Jinhong's eyes. Although she did not admit it, her unflinching look showed her attitude.
Jin Hong didn't realize at this time that her coaxing had failed, and she immediately laughed.
"Okay, hehe, Xiao Feng! Your idea is very interesting, so take care of yourself!"
Feng Shuyun didn't know how she got out of Jin Hong's office. It was not until she returned to her workstation that she realized her back was soaked with sweat.
Jin Hong's last words were full of threats, which almost made Feng Shuyun unable to resist.
An elephant wants to step on an ant to death. Can the ant resist?
[I will never let you get what you want, even if I die.]
Feng Shuyun made up her mind that even if her arm was broken by an elephant, she would uphold her dignity.
But she never expected that the elephant had no intention of giving her any chance to resist.
The next morning, Feng Shuyun suddenly received a call from Zhou Ziqing: "Feng Shuyun, why didn't you attend the meeting this morning?"
Feng Shuyun was stunned for a moment before asking, "What meeting? I haven't received any meeting notice?"
Zhou Ziqing said, "It's a meeting to discuss responsibilities related to the office building project. It should be related to you."
“.”
Feng Shuyun was stunned for a few seconds, and without even hanging up the phone, she ran to the meeting room.
The elephant is so big, but it actually takes advantage of the ants' sleep to launch a sneak attack. How shameless and despicable.
