Chapter 1561 A Good Gun
Li Ye had seen a news story in his previous life.
A female college student was crossing the road when an elderly couple riding an electric scooter panicked and fell. The college student thought it was because the elderly couple were old and clumsy and had nothing to do with her, so she went ahead and crossed the road.
As a result, the old man became unhappy, grabbed the female college student and said that she was the one who caused the problem, and scolded the female college student for being heartless, seeing two old people fall and not helping them up, and in the end the police were called in.
JC felt it wasn't a big deal, so he mediated between the two parties and finally suggested that the female college student apologize.
The young female college student felt that humanity was still kind, so she said "I'm sorry." But it was this apology that gave the old man a handle to use against her, and he insisted that the female student compensate for the broken jade bracelet.
The female college student was stunned, never expecting that her attempt to settle the matter peacefully after being wronged would ultimately lead her into the other party's trap.
Fortunately, the police were very responsible and immediately said they would check the surveillance footage. If the female student was far enough away from the old man at the time, then not only would it be unrelated to the female student, but the old man would also be charged with disorderly conduct.
The old man immediately rode away on his bicycle.
Having lived to such an old age, I'm all too clear about how to judge "distance is far enough." Twenty meters is far enough, and three meters is also far enough. There are some people I can afford to mess with, and some I can't.
So when Li Ye heard that Zhuo Minglan wanted Jiang Shiqi to write a self-criticism, he immediately knew that this woman was full of bad intentions.
Can you just write anything on an inspection report? If you do, wouldn't that be confirming his violation of regulations?
After a while, Shang Bin used this inspection as a reason to dismiss or transfer Jiang Shiqi, thus having a legitimate grounds for action.
If Li Ye wants to protect Jiang Shiqi, he will have to stand against the "rules and regulations." He can protect him, but he will have to sacrifice his own reputation.
The constant infighting among a few small fry, always looking for an opportunity to tear each other apart, is a common manifestation of factional struggles within an organization.
Now that Li Ye has been forced out, Zhuo Minglan actually feels that she has already won the battle.
However, Li Ye sat down, picked up a pen, and quickly wrote a self-criticism, proving that he was the one who instigated the refueling and that the responsibility lay with him.
After finishing writing it, Li Ye threw the self-criticism to Zhuo Minglan: "Take this and go ask your master for credit!"
Zhuo Minglan looked at the self-criticism written by Li Ye, a complex expression flashing in her eyes.
Was forcing Li Ye to write a self-criticism a way of getting revenge for the humiliation Li Ye had caused him before?
However, when he handed the letter of self-criticism to Shang Bin's assistant, Geng Yunping, Geng Yunping's expression changed.
Is it useful for Li Ye to write a self-criticism? Just kidding. If you prick a sparrow with a needle, the sparrow will convulse and fall to the ground, but if you prick an elephant, will the elephant feel pain?
Li Ye kicked someone and broke their bones at the entrance of the No. 1 factory, but in the end, he was completely fine.
Moreover, given Li Ye's temperament, he wrote this self-criticism for you, causing you to lose face. How could he possibly let it go so easily?
Sure enough, the next day, Zhang Xiaoshuai from the first factory wrote a detailed report on the 18 million yuan matter and presented it to Shang Bin, clearly stating that if Shang Bin did not thoroughly investigate the matter, he would directly "skip over" and report it to higher authorities.
Why should we bear responsibility for 18 million when we have never made any guarantees?
Shang Bin felt a wave of disgust, because he had already pushed the 18 million yuan matter onto Dong Shan the day before yesterday.
Anyway, Dong Shan has a strong backing, and Shang Bin thinks he can keep Li Ye in check. He can let Li Ye fight Dong Shan like "a clam and a crane," while he waits on the sidelines for an opportunity to act.
But unexpectedly, Li Ye was so "stubborn" that he insisted on having Shang Bin "uphold justice".
Although it is Shangbin's duty to handle such matters, there is a rule of "fighting without breaking apart" in internal struggles. Everyone should use means to obtain their own interests, rather than fighting to the point of mutual destruction and disgrace!
Left with no other option, Shang Bin convened a small meeting with only three people in attendance: Ma Zhaoxian, Li Ye, and Shang Bin.
"Old Ma! Our Jingnan Group has been established for less than a year, and it has been teetering on the brink of collapse for more than half a year now. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's on the verge of disintegration."
If we were to expose this 18 million now, this family would truly fall apart.
Shang Bin immediately approached Ma Zhaoxian with reason and emotion, fully demonstrating his overall perspective.
Ma Zhaoxian was certainly aware of the current situation of Jingnan Group. Moreover, before the merger of Jingnan Group, he and Li Ye had anticipated the possibility of "separating in a few years" and had made some corresponding preparations.
However, it's been less than a year, and splitting up the family business is too early. After all, Ma Zhaoxian and Shang Bin are in charge of the Jingnan Group's operations, and splitting and reorganizing it in less than a year will affect their careers.
Therefore, Shang Bin believes that Ma Zhaoxian is his temporary ally in this matter, while Li Ye is a "bad seed".
Ma Zhaoxian lowered his eyes and, after a long silence, said, "Secretary Shang, this 18 million yuan needs an explanation. We can't just leave it there in ambiguity."
Let's agree on a deadline that must be resolved! Six months. Everything must be sorted out within six months.
Shang Bin was somewhat disappointed, but Ma Zhaoxian was telling the truth, so he gritted his teeth and finally said, "Okay, once Dong Shan has established himself in the Southwest and production is back on track, this matter will be thoroughly investigated."
According to Shang Bin, Dong Shan brought over a hundred people to the Southwest, definitely intending to gain deep control of Southwest Heavy Truck. Once he has complete control, he might be able to truly reform the company.
Whether Dong Shan will actually do that depends on the decision from above; it's not up to him to decide.
Ma Zhaoxian glanced at Shang Bin and said indifferently, "We also need to deal with the matter of someone reporting that Li Ye privately sponsored three million. Otherwise, the gossip among our tens of thousands of employees could be deadly."
Shang Bin paused for a moment, then asked, "Old Ma, what do you think we should do?"
Ma Zhaoxian said matter-of-factly, "Find out the truth of the matter, whose mistake it was, and who should make a public apology."
“.”
...
Shang Bin's wife lives abroad, so it's more convenient for him to do whatever he wants at night.
That evening, Shang Bin told Zhuo Minglan to write a public apology, but Zhuo Minglan strongly resisted, and it took her half an hour.
"Why should I write a self-criticism? This is Li Ye's revenge on me. If I publicly apologize, how will I have the face to supervise others in the future? I'm your man now, this is a slap in your face."
Shang said angrily, "I told you to work actively, not to target anyone specifically. So many drivers are using public funds for fuel, why are you only targeting Jiang Shiqi? Are the others innocent? Can't you be a little more mature?"
Zhuo Minglan was too young. She didn't understand that sometimes, condemning everyone based on a single example is not an unintentional mistake, but a deliberate attempt to cover up the truth.
...
The next day, Zhuo Minglan made a public apology in the conference room in front of more than a dozen people, and sincerely apologized to Li Ye.
Looking at her flushed face and her almost bitten lips, Li Ye knew that Shang Bin was quite skilled at managing people.
This woman and Li Ye are now locked in a life-or-death feud.
[That's a really good gun!]
Li Ye didn't know if Zhuo Minglan knew that he had been used as a pawn, and perhaps even if she did, she wouldn't care!
