Upon hearing this, Li Qing's eyes widened as she looked at Li Ruo in disbelief: "President Li, I didn't..."
"You're not?"
Li Ruo glanced at her, then took out her phone and opened a document she had prepared beforehand: "Your husband was diagnosed with a terminal illness and needed surgery, but you couldn't afford that much money, so you turned your attention to the company's public funds. Am I right?"
"This million was borrowed from my family, Mr. Li..."
Li Qing's face was extremely pale at this point, but he was still struggling in his death throes.
"Yes, the one million you later returned was borrowed from your family, as your bank statements can prove it."
Li Ruo nodded, swiped her phone screen again, and found a screenshot: "But where did this inexplicably extra million in bank statements come from?"
Seeing this, Li Qing's lips moved, but he could no longer utter a word.
Because she did indeed embezzle company funds, and she knew that her actions were illegal.
After a long while, her face grew paler and paler, and her lips trembled involuntarily: "President Li, I was bewitched, that's why I chose to take action. Please, please let me go. My husband has had surgery, but he still needs my care. If I go to jail, how will my husband survive on his own?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
If the office hadn't been relatively soundproof, who knows what kind of gossip would have circulated about Li Ruo if the employees outside had seen this.
Seeing her crying so sadly, Li Ruo sighed, her expression gradually softening.
She slowly lowered her head and looked at her watch: "Do you think I would have come to see you if I really wanted you to go to jail?"
These words completely woke Li Qing up. She immediately went to Li Ruo, her eyes filled with hope: "So, what does President Li need me to do?"
Seeing how cooperative she was, Li Ruo smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing difficult. You just need to do me a small favor, and I won't pursue the matter further."
Upon hearing this, Li Qing nodded vigorously, as if grasping at a last straw: "I'm willing, President Li."
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo whispered her idea.
Without the slightest hesitation, Li Qing nodded immediately: "I'll give it to President Li right away."
...
Emerging from the office, Li Ruo was in high spirits and returned to her own office in her high heels.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the office of CFO Xiao Yue was oppressive.
Looking at the two people crying and pleading in front of her, her brows immediately furrowed.
"So that's what Li Ruo said?"
The woman nodded and went straight to Xiao Yue's side, taking her hand: "Cousin, you must help us get justice! That Li Ruo is really going too far."
The man in the suit nodded repeatedly, looking at her with hopeful eyes.
Xiao Yue sneered and waved her hand dismissively: "What's so difficult about that? Just tell Assistant Zhang to do what she needs to do, and in a couple of days she'll just drive this little brat away."
The woman beamed with joy upon hearing this and immediately took Xiao Yue's arm affectionately: "Cousin, you're so kind..."
As a result, in the following days, negative rumors about Li Ruo spread more and more within the company.
Many people started cursing right there at their workstations, using profanities without any restraint.
Li Ruo was naturally aware of all this, but she was in no hurry to take action because it wasn't the right time yet.
Xiao Yue now probably thinks that she is afraid of rumors and therefore dares not make a move.
But little did she know that Li Ruo already had evidence of her crimes.
Finally, when Li Ruo arrived at the company that morning, she sensed something unusual as soon as she entered the gate.
All the employees around her looked at her with resentment and kept whispering among themselves.
"This is so annoying! I'm really unlucky to have to work for a boss like this."
"That's right, they only think about their own interests and never care about their employees."
"I think Director Xiao is right. This kind of boss only knows how to make a big deal out of small things."
Hearing their cursing, Xiao He, who was walking next to Li Ruo, couldn't help but look up at Li Ruo.
But when he saw her calm expression, he was suddenly taken aback.
Li Ruo walked through the crowd without changing her expression and took the elevator to the top floor.
As she expected, the incident occurred just before she was about to leave work.
With Xiao Yue's mediation, all the employees who were already dissatisfied with Li Ruo gathered together and clamored for Li Ruo to leave the company.
Hearing the noise outside, Li Ruo narrowed her eyes slightly, then looked at Xiao He: "Call the police and let them handle this."
Xiao He nodded and quickly took out his phone.
Li Ruo then called Li Qing, and the two took the elevator downstairs.
As soon as the elevator doors opened and she saw the angry-looking employees outside, Li Ruo's eyes turned slightly cold, and she couldn't help but sneer.
