Jiang Yilai kept a close eye on the manager's every move, and from his flustered expression, she could tell that he definitely knew something.
However, his actions were cooperative and his words were quite frank, which made Jiang Yilai somewhat suspicious.
If it were related to him personally, he absolutely could not have remained so calm.
Unless he's covering for someone else.
Wu Bin had finished asking his questions; now he was waiting to see if she had any further doubts.
Jiang Yilai asked, "I want to know who ultimately decided to keep Xu Yunqing?"
The project manager paused for a moment, then pointed to himself: "I'm the one who stayed."
Jiang Yilai noticed his hesitation earlier and continued, "Is there any document confirming that she has become a formal employee, or has a contract been signed?"
The manager was clearly surprised that the other party would ask even these questions, and cautiously replied, "These are all handled by the HR department. I'm just responsible for passing on the message."
"Then let the HR department check it out. After all, it's been almost a month. These procedures should be completed by now."
"I don't know why the police are investigating this."
"Once the contract is completed, it will be clear that the other party is a formal employee, and the handling of interns will naturally be different."
Jiang Yilai still had some doubts and wanted to find out the truth through this matter.
Wu Bin also spoke up: "Then let the head of the human resources department come over. This kind of thing can be answered with a simple question."
The manager looked somewhat embarrassed. "The HR department is very busy lately. There's no need to call me over. I'll just call and ask."
Jiang Yilai nodded and stared at him as he quickly made the call.
"Then please put it on speakerphone, so that everyone can hear clearly."
The manager nodded and dialed the number under everyone's watchful eyes.
The call was answered quickly, and a coquettish female voice came through.
"Manager, why are you calling again?"
Seeing the strange looks from the crowd, the manager coughed awkwardly twice and said sternly, "Stop fooling around. The police officer is in my office and needs your cooperation in the investigation."
The other party immediately became serious again, "What situation does the manager want to inquire about?"
"Has Xu Yunqing signed his employment contract?"
"She signed a temporary employment contract."
The manager's expression changed, and he scolded, "You've got it wrong. She's a full-time employee we've already hired. Didn't we arrange the contract with you a long time ago?"
"Is...is that so? I don't recall it. Did you ask another colleague to handle it?"
"In short, I issued this order a month ago. You must have forgotten. Go and find out what happened right away."
"Understood, I'll check right away."
"This is outrageous, to make such a mistake."
The manager reprimanded him twice and hung up the phone, only to find everyone staring at him with serious expressions.
For regular employees, the company would pay a large sum of money in compensation, but the situation is naturally different for temporary workers.
When Jiang Yilai heard the other party clearly state the temporary worker contract, she knew there was something fishy going on.
The manager quickly explained, "It must be a mistake by the HR department."
Jiang Yilai pressed on, "All contracts ultimately need to be reviewed and stamped by you. Didn't you see that?"
The manager argued, "The police officer saw that our company is so big. I have to manage hundreds of people, and the HR department is busy every day. It's not surprising that mistakes happen."
He continued, "Moreover, temporary workers don't need approval from superiors; they can make the decisions on their own."
Jiang Yilai objected: "I've never heard of such a big company hiring temporary workers."
