Chapter 52 Han Zhan seems to doubt me
Eight in the morning is the rush hour.
The viaduct is congested.
Shi Yin was a little distracted and slowed down at the exit, which caused the driver behind her to honk several times in dissatisfaction. Then she reacted and stepped on the accelerator to get off the Xiangfu Elevated Road.
She believed she took every step carefully.
No flaws.
When did Han Zhan first begin to suspect this? Was he suspicious of the encounter at Friend's Café, or the scene from the Eight Great Families' dinner six months ago? Was that probing gesture this morning a reminder, or a warning?
Shi Yin never looked down on Han Zhan.
Someone who grew up in a top-tier wealthy family was not a pushover, nor was he the mediocre person rumored to be. After getting the marriage certificate and spending several days together, her suspicions were confirmed: he was indeed pretending.
If he becomes her enemy.
The road ahead will become extremely difficult.
Shi Yin looked at the road ahead, tightening and loosening her grip on the steering wheel. After repeated cycles, a thin layer of cold sweat formed on her palms.
Since he suspected her, she had to speed up her promotion. Shi Yin decisively picked up her phone and sent a text message to her contact, Meng Xi.
…
A few days later.
Shi's Building.
Secretary Li knocked on the office door and said respectfully, "Second Miss, Chairman Shi would like to ask you to go to the conference room to discuss something."
Coming out of the elevator, Shi Yin bumped into a few anxious employees. She glanced at them, then followed Secretary Li into the conference room. As the door opened, Shi's father's furious voice thundered out.
The floor was littered with documents and papers.
Several managers lowered their heads and dared not say a word.
Not far away, Meng Xi collapsed on the floor, tears streaming down her face, pleading, "I'm sorry, Director Shi. I didn't mean to harm the company. I simply couldn't disobey the eldest lady's orders. I'm traveling alone in Beijing, and I have a sick father at home. Please don't call the police. Give me a way out."
Shi Yin looked around and walked straight to his father who was in the center: "Dad, what's wrong?"
The man said nothing.
I was so angry that I couldn't even sit still.
Secretary Li came over and explained, "Second Miss, you went to the Presidential Palace at the invitation of the President's wife a few days ago and were confined to design Chinese-style dresses for the President and his wife, so you are not aware of this matter."
"The company has already started delivering the modified Zhongshan suits you designed for the New Year project. Today, the chairman sent someone to inspect them and discovered problems with several of the suits that were about to be delivered."
"Not only was it not made according to your original manuscript, but it also used cheap fabrics and embroidery techniques. If this dress were really handed over to the buyer, our Shi family's reputation would be completely ruined."
"The culprit is Meng Xi, the newly appointed Deputy Director of the Design Department. She took advantage of your absence to alter the original manuscript and colluded with Xie Qiu, the Product Department Manager, to fabricate the fraud."
Being named.
Xie Qiu, who was standing aside, immediately knelt down with weak legs.
I was shaking with fear.
Secretary Li glanced at him and snorted, "President Shi intends to call the police and have these two arrested. However, the PR team says that's not an option. If they do, negative news will spread about Shi's use of inferior fabrics. Since you're the lead designer, President Shi has asked you to come over and hear your thoughts."
There were several other shareholders in the meeting room.
Everyone knew that Shi's father was dragging his feet just to exonerate Shi Qinghe, the biggest culprit behind the incident. Ultimately, Meng Xi was Shi Qinghe's henchman, and Xie Qiu, the product manager, was promoted by Shi Qinghe.
Even if Shi Qinghe has a bad record.
At that time, my father was still partial.
Shi Yin understood this better than anyone, having lived in this biased environment for twenty-two years. Shi Yin, still her obedient self, looked at her father and said, "Dad, the PR department is right. We can't call the police. But we can't just let them off like this, or else everyone will follow suit and the company will be in chaos."
"So what do you say we should do?"
"Just fire Meng Xi and Xie Qiu."
"What!" One shareholder couldn't sit still and immediately slammed the table: "Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Shi Qinghe did this. If we don't get rid of her, similar things will happen again in the future!"
This matter was finally done according to Shi Yin's suggestion.
Shareholder protests.
invalid.
Several shareholders slammed their chairs and left angrily. The rest of the employees left the room in silence. Meng Xi and Xie Qiu, who were lying on the ground, were taken away by Secretary Li. Only Shi Yin and Shi's father were left in the huge conference room.
The man lowered his head.
The eyebrows are furrowed.
Shi Yin glanced at him silently. After so many years together, she understood him far better than he did himself. This hypocritical man wanted to protect Shi Qinghe but didn't want to offend the shareholders by speaking out, so he dragged her, his adopted daughter, into the fight.
Shi Yin pretended to know nothing and said sympathetically, "Dad, why don't you suspend my job, or fire me from the Shi family as well."
"Yinyin, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"My sister asked Meng Xi to change the drawings and collude with Xie Qiu to forge the design because she hates me. She would do the same thing to any piece of clothing I designed. I don't want to see you in trouble, and I don't want my sister to drag the company down with her because she hates me."
"It wasn't easy for Shi's to develop to this point. You and Mom worked hard for half your lives, working hand in hand with all the shareholders to get it listed and become a leading company in the domestic design industry. If my sister and I ruined it, I would blame myself to death."
Father Shi pursed his lips.
Looking at the daughter in front of him, guilt appeared in his eyes.
yes.
The root of this matter was Shi Qinghe, jealous of her sister's achievements, who had the audacity to play dirty tricks within the company. If Meng Xi hadn't been careless and Secretary Li had caught her in the act, the Shi family wouldn't have seen the light of day!
He would definitely not fire Shi Yin.
Such an excellent designer is hard to find even with a lantern, not to mention that she is his own daughter, a well-behaved and sensible daughter, who makes him feel much more at ease than an outsider who is not related by blood.
Then, it is necessary to teach Shi Qinghe a lesson.
Otherwise, if Shi Qinghe continues to do bad things as the shareholders say, the company will be in trouble and he will lose his position as chairman.
…
Shi Yin received a call on the way back to Beishan Villa after get off work.
It was Shi Qinghe who called.
The other person was overcome with emotion, and every word he uttered was filthy. Shi Yin barely listened to the long words he spoke, only hearing one sentence: "Don't think that just because my parents sent me abroad, you can take my place. I'm telling you, Shi Yin, as long as I'm here, my parents' love, the Shi family's wealth, my position in the company, and even this marriage to Song Sinian will always be mine!"
Shi Yin laughed, "You're already far away on the other side of the ocean, what can you use to compete with me?"
There was a half-second pause on the other end of the line.
What followed was even more crazy verbal abuse.
Fortunately, Shi Yin quickly hung up the phone, preventing these dirty words from dirtying her clean car. Shi Yin lit up the central control screen and made another call. Meng Xi's voice soon came out: "Second Miss."
Shi Yin: "By the end of March at the latest, I will recruit you back to the company and use my seal."
Vice presidents and above have the right to issue employment letters.
The director is temporary.
She has to climb higher.
Meng Xi believed her, and also believed in his own judgment of others: "Second Miss, I'll wait for you."
