Chapter 261 The habit of being lazy is not good.
Seeing her sincerity, Han Xi didn't hide anything and nodded, saying, "My assistant did tell me that, and I think this matter should have spread throughout the industry."
If word gets out that she, as a researcher, stole a secret technique, it will be very difficult for her to find a new job.
You have to understand that the formula is the foundation of every company's survival. Her actions are undoubtedly uprooting someone else's foundation. Who would dare to keep such a dangerous person by their side?
Tang Yi said seriously, "President Han, if I told you this was a frame-up, would you believe me?"
Han Xi remained calm. It was true that she had known this person before, but it was only because he had helped her once.
As for the other person's character, she didn't know and therefore wouldn't comment.
"Let's talk about the important thing you just mentioned first."
Tang Yi smiled wryly and said, "That's true. We've only met once, so it's hard for you to believe me. What I'm telling you is that your R&D manager gave the new product formula to someone else."
Han Xi looked at her in confusion and questioned, "If this is true, how could you know about such a confidential matter?"
Tang Yi took out her phone, which showed several blurry photos. One of the figures in the photos did indeed resemble the R&D manager.
“I was originally working as a research assistant at Meisong Biotechnology Company. In the first half of the month, the company’s new formula was leaked. Since I was in charge of it at the time, and the information was copied from my computer, the blame fell on me.”
Han Xi was busy with other things during that time and knew nothing about what was happening in the industry.
"Then what are these photos?"
“After I was falsely accused, I asked to report it to the police, but Meisong Company did not want to make a big deal out of it and insisted on firing me. I knew there must be something wrong, so I followed up with our R&D supervisor.”
After hearing what she said, Han Xi examined the people in the photo more closely and it seemed that some of them were from Meisong Biotechnology.
Tang Yi continued, "The night before last, I followed them to a hotel and was surprised to find that the R&D director of Han Shu Group was also there. I eavesdropped on their conversation at the door and took this photo."
The photo is indeed taken from the doorway, and the people in the room seem to be more than just the R&D departments of two beauty companies; there are also senior executives from the R&D departments of other companies.
This situation is highly unusual.
The R&D department is a crucial department in a daily chemical company. Companies maintain a distance from each other to avoid leaking secrets, and it is impossible for large gatherings to occur.
However, judging from the photos, these people are smiling, so they must be quite familiar with each other.
What did you hear?
“I overheard someone asking Minister Qiu of Hanshu Group what he sent as a gift to the overseas headquarters. He said he sent the formula for a new product. Our company’s supervisor also said that he sent the formula for a newly developed product, the one that I lost.”
Han Xi rubbed her forehead, realizing that the matter was far more serious than she had imagined.
Based on the current situation, it is highly likely that foreign cosmetics companies are poaching domestic talent, and not only that, they are also secretly collecting formulas from biotechnology companies.
Han Xi couldn't help but feel a sense of lingering fear. She remembered how Minister Qiu had kept pressing her for the formulas of the two perfumes a while ago, which was the only thing Han Xi hadn't handed over.
Han Xi has always trusted the people inside Han Shu Group. Apart from the perfume formula that her mother instructed her not to tell anyone before she passed away, she shares everything else with the R&D department.
When Minister Qiu contacted her, she was preoccupied with the poisoning incident at the birthday banquet, which is why she postponed it.
If I give in to his persistent pleading and tell him, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Did you record their conversation?
"No, I had to put my ear right up to hear it to record anything."
Although what she said was true, it was just talk and no proof. In addition, Tang Yi was rejected in the interview, so she may have deliberately framed him out of revenge.
Even if you take these photos to these people, they can simply say they met at the exchange meeting and cannot provide any evidence.
Seeing Han Xi's dilemma, Tang Yi said excitedly, "President Han, I came to the company for an interview because I wanted to tell the president of this company about this matter so that she could be careful with her employees and avoid a situation like what happened with Meisong."
"You're quite passionate. You're being framed and barely able to protect yourself, yet you still come to meddle in other people's business. What drives you to have such determination?"
Tang Yi took a deep breath and said, "You might not believe it, but my ancestors were martyrs, and my parents sacrificed their lives in the line of duty. They taught me from a young age to be responsible and to protect the interests of the country."
These words surprised Han Xi. He never expected that the young man standing in front of him would have such an admirable background.
This identity alone was enough for Han Xi to believe her.
“I’m worried that someone might try to steal the formulas of major domestic brands and produce their own products, which would definitely cause us losses, so I wanted to stop them.”
Han Xi admired her sincerity. If this was true, then she really needed to be wary of her employees.
Not just her, but everyone in the industry needs to be careful about this change.
"I just heard you say that the two people Minister Qiu left behind were alumni. Have you verified that?"
"Yes, this is the evidence."
Tang Yineng was able to run up to the president and point this out, which meant she must have been prepared in advance. She took out the investigation materials and handed them to Han Xi for confirmation.
After reviewing her documents, Han Xi confirmed that the two people left behind by Minister Qiu were indeed alumni.
Of course, this alone cannot prove anything. After all, it is not surprising that someone who graduated from a prestigious university and has rich experience is an alumnus.
"Ms. Tang, thank you very much for telling me these things. I will definitely verify them and give you a satisfactory reply once I have clarified the situation."
"If there's anything I can do to help you, Mr. Han, please don't hesitate to ask. To repay the kindness you showed me back then, I'd like to do something for you."
Han Xi smiled and said, "I am already very grateful that you told me all this in person. I will handle the rest myself. As for the matter of you being framed, I will prove your innocence."
This matter has far-reaching implications, and Han Xi must investigate it thoroughly before making a decision to avoid stirring up a bloodbath in this industry.
Seeing that she had already made up her mind, Tang Yi didn't say anything more and nodded, saying, "President Han, you don't need to worry about my matter. I will find a way to prove my innocence."
"Miss Tang is truly a generous person. Please keep our conversation today a secret."
"Don't worry, Mr. Han, I know what to do."
Han Xi nodded in acknowledgment, and felt very heavy-hearted after seeing her off.
She hadn't been thinking about the company these days and was unaware of this internal situation.
If she hadn't met Tang Yi today, she wouldn't have known she was facing so many dangers. The next step is to verify whether Tang Yi's words are true or not. If they are, these cancerous tumors must be removed as soon as possible.
When Han Xi returned to his office, he saw Shen Jiheng still diligently processing documents. It was clearly someone else's company, but he valued it more than his own.
Shen Jiheng caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of his eye, coughed lightly, and said, "President Han, you're slacking off now that someone's helping you. That's not a good habit."
