Chapter 54 Grandpa, she insulted you!
Upon seeing the chairman enter, Lin Zhong quickly stood up and offered his seat to Ye Qizu.
Ye Qizu never imagined that the granddaughter he had envied from other people's families was actually his own!
After recovering from the shock, the old man didn't say anything, but sat down and said, "You can continue."
Seeing that Ye Qizu did not directly expose Ye Baoling's identity, Lin Zhong wisely kept quiet as well. He instructed, "President Shen, give the chairman a detailed report on the situation."
Shen Wanjie lowered his head slightly before saying, "Chairman, there was a slight oversight in my management. Someone previously reported that the chilled jasmine iced tea tasted different from what I had during the blind taste test, so I asked Qu Zhengming to investigate. Qu Zhengming told me that she had investigated and there was no problem. But today, someone sent a whistleblower letter saying that Qu Zhengming, the product director, had someone secretly change the jasmine tea recipe. I immediately had someone investigate, and when I checked the surveillance footage in the R&D room, I found that it was Gu Baolin who secretly changed the recipe."
He then mentioned the videotape that Shen Wanjie had retrieved from the monitoring room.
In the projection screen of the conference room, Ye Baoling sneaked into the research and development room. After looking around to make sure no one was there, she swapped the positions of formulas No. 4 and No. 9 hanging on the wall.
The evidence is irrefutable!
Shen Wanjie looked at Ye Baoling: "Gu Baolin, you can't deny this now, can you?"
Qu Zhengming clearly couldn't believe that such an outstanding person under his command would do such a thing.
She asked, "Pauline, is there something you're having trouble telling me?"
Ye Baoling looked at Qi Yuxiu, who blinked, signaling her not to look in her direction.
Cai Yongming asked, "Gu Baolin, there's a saying in mainland China: 'Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be treated severely.' The company gives you a job, gives you opportunities, and treats you well. Why would you do something that harms the company? Was someone instructing you? Is there some hidden reason?"
Ye Baoling glanced at Qu Zhengming: "I'm sorry, Mr. Qu."
Then, she raised her voice slightly, "Qu Zhengming asked me to change it."
Qu Zhengming's eyes widened in astonishment; she could hardly believe her ears. "Baolin, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Shen Wanjie prevented Qu Zhengming from getting close to Ye Baoling, then asked, "Why did Qu Zhengming ask you to change the formula?"
Ye Baoling: "She wants to take this opportunity to bring you down, President Shen, so that she can take your place and become the general manager of Ye Qingtang Herbal Tea, and I can also be promoted to manager."
Qu Zhengming still couldn't believe it: "How could I, a director, be promoted to general manager so quickly? This frame-up is absurd! Gu Baolin, are you being blackmailed?"
Lin Zhong was also puzzled: "How are you going to use the herbal tea recipe to bring down President Shen?"
Ye Baoling lowered her head and refused to look at Qu Zhengming: "Because President Shen insisted on appointing Wan Xiwen as the project manager for the research and promotion of jasmine green tea despite everyone's objections, President Qu wanted to turn the tables and change the formula so that Wan Xiwen would be directly responsible after the incident, and then accuse President Shen of favoritism and nepotism."
What is nepotism?
Shen Wanjie glanced at Qi Yuxiu, his eyes screaming: If your people keep talking nonsense!
Qi Yuxiu was also sweating bullets, but she couldn't stop Ye Baoling or drag Shen Wanjie into it.
Shen Wanjie, fearing someone might nitpick Ye Baoling's accusation of nepotism, immediately said, "I know Qu Zhengming has had some issues with me lately. We've had some minor disagreements at work, including a disagreement about personnel. A few days ago, she wanted to spend 4 million to hire Xian Bi as a spokesperson, which I refused outright. But I didn't expect her to disregard the company's interests and secretly have someone change the formula to frame me. Jasmine iced tea is selling very well now, but if the formula hadn't been changed, it could have sold even better. If there's a problem, we should communicate. If you think I can't communicate, you can go and give feedback to Lin Zhong, that's perfectly fine. But why did you choose this path that seriously damages the company's interests?"
Qu Zhengming looked like he was about to go crazy, and couldn't defend himself, saying, "I didn't! I didn't instruct Gu Baolin to change the formula!"
No, there's another obvious flaw that she forgot to refute.
Qu Zhengming said, "I have tried both of the improved flavors of jasmine herbal tea, and the recipe has not been changed at all. I am very sure that the iced tea that is currently on the market is the No. 4 recipe."
Shen Wanjie: "Qu Zhengming, at this time, you shouldn't bring up random topics. The evidence is conclusive, didn't you see it? We have the surveillance video."
Qu Zhengming: "Are you going to convict me based on just one person's words? This is blatant framing."
Cai Yongming also agreed: "Yes, Gu Baolin's testimony alone is not enough to prove that Qu Zhengming was the mastermind behind it all."
Ye Qizu looked at them with cold eyes and remained silent.
As Ye Qingtang's eldest daughter, Ye Baoling has no reason to do anything that would harm the company's interests. It's just a manager position; if she simply acknowledges Gu Baolin as her at home, what's so difficult about getting a manager's position? There's no need for that.
But there's video evidence, so Ye Baoling can't escape. Why would she do this? Doesn't she want the company to prosper? Is she trying to get revenge for his neglect of her all these years?
Several ideas were already swirling around in the old man's mind.
At this point, Shen Wanjie said, "There are other witnesses as well."
This witness is Rao Qiutong.
Rao Qiutong and Wan Xiwen came in together.
As soon as she came in, she stared at Ye Baoling with the same look she had when looking at a pitiful little lamb being hunted by a pack of wolves. As a member of the wolf pack, she only wanted to rush up, tear off a piece, and get a bite of meat.
Shen Wanjie: "This is Rao Qiutong, the planner from the product department. Rao Qiutong, please tell the chairman and General Manager Lin in detail what you saw and heard that day."
Rao Qiutong swallowed and coughed. It was her first time speaking in such a setting, and she was a little nervous.
"That day should have been the afternoon after the results of the second round of blind selection were announced. The R&D team leader was called away by the HR department, and then the R&D team held a meeting in the conference room. There should have been no one in the R&D room at that time. I saw Gu Baolin sneak into the R&D room. She didn't stay long after she went in, and she came out quickly and went into President Qu's office. I happened to have some documents to give to President Qu that day, and since it was almost time to leave work, I followed her. As a result, I heard Gu Baolin say to President Qu at the door of President Qu's office, 'It's done. Number 4 and number 9 have been swapped.'"
Lin Zhong questioned, "Why didn't you report this situation to the company in a timely manner?"
Rao Qiutong explained, "I didn't think much of it at all. That day, Gu Baolin was in charge of supervising everyone's blind selection of the improved jasmine herbal tea recipe. How was I supposed to know they would do something like this?"
We have both witnesses and physical evidence.
Shen Wanjie looked at Qu Zhengming: "What else do you have to say?"
Qu Zhengming was calmer than before. "I'm going to call the police."
Ye Baoling advised her, "Reporting this to the police will be detrimental to the company's listing."
Qu Zhengming glared at Ye Baoling: "Are you feeling guilty? Or are you just too scared? Now you're starting to worry about it being detrimental to the company's IPO?"
Ye Baoling glanced at Qi Yuxiu again. If she called the police and Qi Yuxiu switched the formula, then she would be finished!
Qi Yuxiu remained silent.
So far, Ye Kaishen has not appeared, let alone come to protect Ye Baoling.
Rao Qiutong didn't forget to add insult to injury: "Gu Baolin is extremely scheming and doesn't care about the company's interests at all. She directly told the agency that she wouldn't lower your price, and all future Jasmine Ice Tea commercials would be made by your team," as if the company was her private property.
Ye Qizu glanced at Rao Qiutong, then his eyelids drooped again.
Rao Qiutong continued: "And yesterday, in order to win over the people in the brand department, Gu Baolin made some outrageous remarks in the office. She said she wanted to spend a lot of money to hire Xian Bi to shoot an advertisement, and that the money had to be spent. She told her colleagues that 'if the money isn't spent, those brainless leaders at the top of the company will think that promotion doesn't need to be spent, and the brand department won't be able to carry out its work in the future.' These are her exact words, and I haven't changed a single word."
The implication is that the phrase "brainless leader" was said by Gu Baolin, not by Rao Qiutong herself.
The onlookers suppressed their laughter and dared not speak.
Lin Zhong looked at Shen Wanjie: "President Shen, what do you think is the best way to handle this?"
Shen Wanjie: "It depends on how the chairman and President Lin decide to handle this. Actually, they could suspend them from their duties for investigation first, and then call the police after the company goes public. As long as it doesn't get into the media, it's all a minor matter."
Shen Wanjie wanted to call the police, but simply dismissing them would be too lenient.
Ye Qizu looked up at his granddaughter, somewhat incredulous: "Did they really change the formula?"
Ye Baoling countered, "What do you think?"
Ye Qizu: "..."
Everyone was stunned. How dare Gu Baolin speak to the chairman like that? It was truly rude.
Only Lin Zhong advised Ye Baoling: "Speak properly."
Shen Wanjie saw through Lin Zhong's attempt to smooth things over and angrily rebuked him, "Gu Baolin, don't be so presumptuous."
Ye Baoling ignored him and walked straight to Qi Yuxiu. Qi Yuxiu gestured for her to calm down, but Ye Baoling did not listen.
"Sister Xiu, weren't you going to protect me?"
Qi Yuxiu gently scolded, "Are you crazy? How can I protect you after you've done something like this? Calm down first, and I'll plead with the bosses later."
"Your accomplices are about to call the police, how can you plead with them?" Ye Baoling said, glancing at Shen Wanjie.
Startled, Shen Wanjie quickly said, "Gu Baolin, don't bite people randomly!"
Qi Yuxiu was mentally prepared that Gu Baolin might bite her at the scene. She had a different idea from Shen Wanjie and did not want to call the police. She was afraid of getting herself involved in the end. Although the other party had no evidence, she did not want to take the risk.
Qi Yuxiu grasped Ye Baoling's arms tightly. "The most important thing for you right now is to stay calm. Blaming people indiscriminately won't do you any good. Calm down and think about why you've come to this. We're colleagues, and I personally promoted you. If you consider me a friend, then you have to trust me. With the company's IPO imminent, they certainly won't call the police. I'll plead with the chairman and General Manager Lin to give you a way out. Because you are indeed a very talented person and have contributed significantly to the company's performance, which is evident to all. You made a mistake, but you can admit it and correct it. The company will definitely give you a chance."
It must be said that Qi Yuxiu is very eloquent and her words are very deceptive.
Ye Baoling smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Qi Yuxiu breathed a sigh of relief. Now she just hoped that Shen Wanjie would know when to stop.
“But…” Ye Baoling smiled and changed the subject, “That’s not how you and President Shen agreed. Didn’t you agree to sacrifice me?”
These words startled Qi Yuxiu so much that her eyes almost popped out.
How did Ye Baoling find out?
Shen Wanjie was also taken aback, thinking to himself, "Won't their infighting drag him into it? I should have known better than to call the police."
The other middle-level managers exchanged glances, not understanding what was going on.
This play seems quite interesting.
Lin Zhong hurriedly asked, "What's this about President Shen?"
Qi Yuxiu quickly went into full fighting mode: "Gu Baolin, don't talk nonsense! You just accused General Manager Qu, and now you're slandering me. Anyone who works under you is doomed. On your very first day at the company, you got rid of Supervisor Qian, then you got rid of Zhang Laichi. Okay, now you've finally moved to the product department, first you got rid of Lu Baohua, and now you're targeting General Manager Qu. You just finished with General Manager Qu, and now you're slandering me! You're simply terrifying; anyone who associates with you is doomed!!!"
Ye Baoling smiled.
"Thank you, Manager Qi, for recounting all my great achievements."
Ye Baoling: "Let me elaborate on the topic of 'whoever I associate with suffers bad luck.' Why do I suffer bad luck with whoever I associate with? Because Ye Qingtang, this century-old brand, has a bunch of parasites and cronies!"
That last sentence was so powerful it was like a thunderclap, leaving everyone speechless.
Of those present, how many are not connected to the family, or how many did not bring their own connections?
Ye Qizu stared at his granddaughter, his feelings slightly complicated.
Shen Wanjie hurriedly turned his head and ordered his men to call security. He had a premonition that the fire might spread to his side soon.
Ye Baoling: "Then I'll talk about my journey at Ye Qingtang. I'm sure the chairman would love to hear it."
These words made Wan Xiwen want to roll her eyes. This Gu Baolin was too arrogant and took herself too seriously.
But Yeh Chi-tsu really wanted to hear it at that moment.
"On my first day at work, I encountered a major incident. Someone in the logistics department sent the company's near-expiry herbal tea to a charity event, which was discovered and reported by the media, causing a very bad impact on the company. When Manager Qi came to hold them accountable, it was discovered that Supervisor Qian had embezzled the company's herbal tea and sent the near-expiry products that were about to be destroyed to the event. Manager Qi's first reaction was not to punish Supervisor Qian, but to push me, the newcomer, to take the blame."
"To be honest, as you all know, I'm not someone to be trifled with. Do you think I'd be the one to take the blame? So I hinted to Manager Qi that I also have connections, my cousin works in the legal department, and I have elevator surveillance footage to prove that I couldn't possibly be responsible for the near-expiry herbal tea incident."
"Manager Qi understands human language. She quickly sacrificed Supervisor Qian to keep me on. Colleagues from the legal department and logistics department can testify to all of this."
"After that incident, Manager Qi didn't like me, but I hadn't done anything wrong, so she couldn't do anything about it, until the company got another person with connections, Zhang Laichi. This Zhang Laichi said he was a relative of the cleaning lady in the chairman's house..."
Ye Baoling said this specifically to Ye Qizu, who closed his eyes speechlessly.
"After Zhang Laichi arrived, he was instructed by Qi Yuxiu to start targeting me, which led to the cleaning staff strike that the whole company knew about."
“Zhang Laichi’s target from the beginning of the cleaner incident was me, and the source of the strike was the unequal distribution of paper money.”
At this point, Qi Yuxiu couldn't help but interrupt her, "Alright, stop talking nonsense!"
"Nonsense? How can it be nonsense that you took so much money from cardboard? The two original team leaders of the cleaning department, one a relative of Qi Yuxiu and the other a relative of Director Wang, devised a plan to prevent the cleaners from getting a raise. Instead, they used the cardboard money from Warehouse No. 2 to replace the raise. They profited from this, and in two years they embezzled at least HK$200,000."
so much?
The middle managers looked at each other, wondering how such small amounts of paper money could accumulate into such a large sum.
The administrative director, Wang, was terrified to be dragged into this and was covered in sweat.
Qi Yuxiu looked completely innocent, and she gave a forced, helpless smile: "You're just trying to shift the focus and making baseless accusations."
Just then, the security guard came in.
Shen Wanjie quickly said, "Chairman, President Lin, this Gu Baolin is too cunning. She keeps shifting the focus and trying to clear herself of any wrongdoing. We will set up an investigation team to investigate seriously. We don't need to waste time listening to her nonsense and rambling on."
He then instructed the security guards, "Take Gu Baolin out and we'll deal with her after our meeting."
The two security guards glanced at Wang Simin, who had come with them.
At this point, Wang Simin would definitely help Ye Baoling, since Ye Baoling had already given her a heads-up.
She smiled and said tactfully, "The chairman and General Manager Lin haven't given any instructions yet, so we wouldn't dare to kick people out. We're here to maintain order."
Shen Wanjie was embarrassed.
As the branch company's general manager, Shen Wanjie had no authority over the security department.
He could only look at Qi Yuxiu.
Qi Yuxiu tried her best to remain calm and said, "Wang Simin, please have the security guards take Gu Baolin away to rest. She's too agitated right now; let her calm down first."
Wang Simin pretended not to understand and just chuckled.
Qi Yuxiu: "What are you 'ha'ing about?"
Wang Simin pointed at Ye Baoling: "She didn't finish her sentence!"
Qi Yuxiu was about to reprimand him when she heard President Lin say impatiently, "Alright, alright, stop trying to interrupt Gu Baolin. I don't think she's agitated, but you're the ones who are."
Shen Wanjie and Qi Yuxiu exchanged a glance and could only keep quiet for the time being.
Ye Baoling smiled and nodded slightly: "I can understand how flustered you are, Manager Qi."
"Why should I panic? I've never cared about paper money before."
"Really? I have evidence. But it's not important; I'm not wasting everyone's time if I don't present it now."
Everyone: "..."
What an arrogant attitude.
I love it!
Cai Yongming asked her, "Why didn't you mention the paper money before?"
Ye Baoling: "Because I wanted to use this opportunity to become Qi Yuxiu's confidant. In the end, I did become her confidant and helped her do some things that she wanted to do but were inconvenient and unable to do."
Lin Zhong asked, "What is it?"
"For example, the evidence of corruption by Liu Tiejun, the director of the herbal tea marketing department, was obtained by me at a social gathering on Qi Yuxiu's orders."
"For example, the reason everyone is here today is because Qi Yuxiu instructed me to secretly switch the jasmine iced tea recipe and frame Qu Zhengming..."
The crowd gasped in disbelief.
Qi Yuxiu retorted angrily: "One minute you say Qu Zhengming instructed you to change the formula, the next minute you say I instructed you to change the formula. Gu Baolin, who would believe you if you acted like this?"
Ye Baoling laughed and said, "You're right. That's why you're so confident, and I don't dare to come forward to testify against you. Because I've contradicted myself, no one will believe me. Anyone with a modicum of rationality wouldn't come forward either. At this point, I can only hope that you have a conscience and will protect me according to the agreement. But you have no conscience."
This was indeed what Qi Yuxiu was thinking, and she could only shake her head with a cold laugh: "That's sophistry."
Ye Baoling turned to Ye Qizu: "Chairman, do you believe me?"
Ye Qizu was slightly taken aback, and his expression turned very ugly.
Lin Zhongsheng was afraid that the grandfather and grandson would start arguing in the meeting room, so he quickly brought up the key issue he was concerned about: "Wasn't someone going to report Liu Tiejun from the Marketing Department to General Manager Shen with evidence in his corruption case? How come Qi Yuxiu asked you to find the evidence?"
Ye Baoling's lips curled slightly: "Isn't this so-called complainant Qi Yuxiu?"
Lin Zhong: "What benefit would Qi Yuxiu gain from doing this?"
Ye Baoling: "Because she was Ye Kaishen's classmate and...mistress."
The onlookers were shocked, while secretly glancing at Director Wang from the administration department standing nearby.
Because many people knew that Director Wang and Qi Yuxiu had an affair, but no one expected that Qi Yuxiu also had an affair with Ye Kaishen.
The relationship is... complicated.
Director Wang kept his head down and didn't speak. He just hoped that he wouldn't get involved in today's events.
Qi Yuxiu could no longer maintain her composure. She gritted her teeth and shouted angrily, "I am classmates with President Shen, not his mistress. Gu Baolin, stop spreading rumors!"
"Really?" Ye Baoling called out to the door, "Man'er, bring in the evidence."
Gu Man'er, who had been waiting outside, came in carrying a small cardboard box of documents and placed it in front of Ye Baoling.
Everyone suddenly realized that Gu Baolin had come prepared today!
Ye Baoling took out a stack of ledgers: "These are the ledgers I mentioned earlier, the ones that aren't very important, the ledgers for paper money. They're very clear, and the bosses can take a look. Although they're not important, they can be used to investigate corruption."
She handed the ledger to Lin Zhong first.
As everyone began to pass the account book around, Qi Yuxiu's palms were sweating with nervousness.
Then, Ye Baoling pulled out a stack of photos from the box. "Didn't you say I was spreading rumors? Everyone is welcome to enjoy these photos."
"In the first photo, Ye Kaishen and Qi Yuxiu entered the Mandarin Oriental Hotel one after the other; in the second photo, after entering the hotel, they held hands and went into the same room in the second-floor corridor; the third photo is from another time, in another hotel, where they hugged each other before they could even draw the curtains..."
Qi Yuxiu couldn't believe that Gu Baolin had actually hired a private investigator to follow her!
The photo was passed around among the people and finally reached Ye Qizu.
It would be a lie to say that Ye Qizu wasn't excited.
He always pretended to like and value Ye Kaishen, but that was because he had no choice but to use his brother's son. However, when he saw that Ye Kaishen was disappointing, his feelings were extremely complicated.
They didn't want him to embarrass the Ye family, but at the same time, they wanted to dampen his spirits so that his younger brother Ye Qizong would also lose face.
But on the surface, he remained calm.
Qi Yuxiu calmed down and argued, "Even if my relationship with Ye Kaishen is special, it doesn't mean we would do anything that would harm the company's interests."
“I know you’ll deny it to the death without evidence.” Ye Baoling took out a small cassette tape from the box.
Gu Man'er brought over the radio that had been prepared beforehand.
The cassette tape was put into the radio, and all that could be heard was a conversation between Qi Yuxiu and Ye Baoling.
[Qi Yuxiu: Go to the R&D team and secretly switch formula #4 and formula #9. These two formulas are similar and taste similar, so no one will know if you switch them.]
[Ye Baoling: This plan is too ambitious, and it might affect the company's stock price after its IPO. Will President Shen agree to us doing this?]
[Qi Yuxiu: Don't worry, this was his idea. I wouldn't dare let you do it without his support. Zeng Zhentao from the R&D team will be transferred by HR later, so find a chance to change the formula as soon as possible.]
...
Besides shock and panic, Qi Yuxiu's face was filled with anger. Gu Baolin had been plotting against her from the very beginning!
Did she record every time she met with her?
"You're shameless!" she cursed.
Ye Baoling laughed: "Who's shameless? And do you want to keep listening?"
Qi Yuxiu bit her teeth until they bled, but she couldn't say anything more. At this moment, she could only place her hopes on Ye Kaishen.
I hope Ye Kaishen can find a way to help her.
Shen Wanjie was slightly flustered, but he had to remain calm. He believed that Qi Yuxiu would not betray him at this moment.
After all, keeping him around means he can work for Ye Kaishen in the future.
Unexpectedly, his daughter Wan Xiwen, thinking of easing tensions with Qu Zhengming, recklessly said, "Then President Qu was wronged."
Ye Baoling nodded with a smile: "That's right, President Qu was wronged. Didn't your dad tell you?"
Your dad?
Shen Wanjie, who thought he had escaped this calamity, felt a chill run through him.
Wan Xiwen, lacking experience, immediately retorted, "Gu Baolin, what nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean my dad didn't tell me..."
Ye Baoling: "Didn't your father, Shen Wanjie, tell you that your whole scheme today was originally intended to trap me and President Qu?"
Wan Xiwen tried to defend herself incoherently: "You're crazy! If you're sick, don't talk nonsense here! You poor, shallow-minded gossip, you're really scary! Who gave you any benefits to spread rumors and slander us like this!"
Seeing that she was scolding Ye Baoling, Lin Zhong quickly stopped her, saying, "That's enough! You're not allowed to argue here."
Ye Baoling took out another stack of documents: "It took me a whole day to piece together this torn-up whistleblower letter. Qi Yuxiu used this letter to blackmail Shen Wanjie into cooperating with Ye Kaishen. The contents are very simple: Wan Xiwen is Shen Wanjie's illegitimate daughter, and there is also evidence that Shen Wanjie abused his power, parachuting his daughter into a key project as manager, causing significant losses to the company..."
Shen Wanjie's facial muscles twitched uncontrollably. He hadn't expected that the torn-up letter of denunciation would end up in Ye Baoling's hands.
He was unaware that he was being closely monitored by the cleaning lady.
Ye Baoling continued: "After being blackmailed, Shen Wanjie chose to cooperate with Ye Kaishen. The two sides conspired to take down the most troublesome President Qu and me in one fell swoop, which led to today's drama."
Only then did everyone figure out all the lines.
Qu Zhengming's expression finally relaxed a bit. "If Baolin hadn't told me these things in advance, I wouldn't have known that I was so important to you. I'm truly honored."
So, Qu Zhengming was just acting!
One or two of them are really good.
Rao Qiutong was puzzled: "But I personally heard Ye Baoling say in President Qu's office that day that the formula should be changed."
Ye Baoling glanced at her: "Because I was in President Qu's office at the time, calling Qi Yuxiu. I told Qi Yuxiu that the formulas for No. 4 and No. 9 had been switched."
Rao Qiutong: "..."
Ye Baoling steered the conversation back to the previous topic: "By the way, Mr. Shen, how do you plan to pay off the money that Wan Xiwen wasted on the early promotion of Jasmine Ice Tea?"
Hearing Ye Baoling's questioning, Wan Xiwen retorted angrily, "The publicity effect didn't meet expectations, so we have to compensate the company for the losses? Who do you think you are? What right do you have to talk nonsense and hold us accountable? Your act of switching the formula has a much bigger impact. Just wait for the police to arrest you."
Ye Baoling: "The surveillance footage did capture me entering the R&D lab, and I did indeed switch the positions of Formula 4 and Formula 9. But that's all. Formula 4 clearly states Formula 4 at the top, so no matter where I switch it, it's still Formula 4. Moreover, it was General Manager Qu who personally delivered the formulas to the factory. How could such a meticulous process go wrong?"
"!!!!"
Qi Yuxiu almost coughed up a mouthful of blood!
Gu Baolin never intended to help her bring down Qu Zhengming.
Qi Yuxiu scolded her: "Gu Baolin, you're too scheming! Who would dare to hire someone like you? Who would dare to be friends with you? Do you think the company will keep you after this? You're dreaming!"
Ye Baoling: "My friends are all upright, positive, and kind people. Those who are too cunning are indeed not suitable to be my so-called friends. Because I can be more cunning than them."
That's so satisfying to say!
Qu Zhengming and Liu Xiang were almost moved to tears upon hearing this.
When Wan Xiwen saw Qi Yuxiu stand up and scold Ye Baoling, she was determined to tear this person's mouth apart.
"You know you're cunning? You'll get your comeuppance for setting traps and harming people everywhere!"
Ye Baoling: "Who set the trap first? I won't offend others unless they offend me. Wan Xiwen, if you can't argue, then don't argue. A bastard daughter who can't stand the light of day is swaggering around in our company!"
Wan Xiwen, who had never been scolded before, suddenly went crazy and started rambling incoherently: "I...you wear a 6,000 yuan watch every day, pretending to be rich and showing off, always treating people to meals, and even wanting to waste company money to hire Xian Bilai as a spokesperson, you poor bastard! So what if I'm an illegitimate child? I'm still a thousand times, ten thousand times better than a poor bastard like you who was born but not raised by a master!"
Ye Baoling couldn't help but smile; she had deliberately provoked Wan Xiwen just now.
That's so interesting.
He was born with a grandfather but not taught by one.
Well said.
Ye Baoling looked at her grandfather: "Grandpa, she insulted you!"
Ye Qizu's face turned gloomy and frighteningly green from the scolding.
The crowd, having had their fill of gossip, looked at each other, momentarily speechless...
Wait, Gu Baolin is calling the chairman "Grandpa"?
Was it a slip of the tongue or did they mishear?
The conference room was quite crowded, but it was unusually quiet.
Just then, the R&D team returned from the factory, and someone came in and whispered a few words to Lin Zhong.
Lin Zhong quickly smiled to ease the tension: "Chairman, the R&D team said there's no problem with the jasmine iced tea recipe. Miss is still very sensible."
Young lady?!
The crowd, who had been suspicious just moments before, were now filled with even more doubt.
Cai Yongming asked in a low voice, "What young lady?"
Lin Zhong: "Gu Baolin is Ye Baoling, the chairman's granddaughter."
!!! !!! !!! !!!
Shen Wanjie and Qi Yuxiu, who had just been clinging to a sliver of hope, suddenly felt their hopes shattered.
They couldn't believe their ears. How could the eldest daughter of the Ye family be working at the lowest level of the company to gain experience?
They've really hit a brick wall!
In fact, everything has a traceable pattern.
Qi Yuxiu recalled the time when Ye Baoling suddenly had a stomachache at the new product launch. She had pretended to be sick so as not to see Ye Kaishen.
Wan Xiwen and Rao Qiutong were dumbfounded, looking flustered and at a loss after doing something wrong.
Rao Qiutong had just questioned the other party, saying that this was not her family's private property, but before the company went public, Ye Qingtang was indeed her family's private property.
Wan Xiwen covered her forehead, her face ashen: "I feel so dizzy."
