Qiao Liang took a cigarette and lit it, took a few sips, and a large cloud of thick smoke appeared, gritting his teeth: "Boss, what are these three bastards doing now?"

"They don't know about this at the moment and are working normally." Li Youwei said.

"Damn, I'll go find them now. I'm going to beat them up!" Qiao Liang stood up angrily and was about to go out.

"Come back." Li Youwei said in a deep voice.

Qiao Liang turned to look at Li Youwei.

"Come back, sit down." Li Youwei said again.

Qiao Liang didn't dare to ignore Li Youwei's words, and then came back to sit down, clenched his fists tightly, and his joints snapped.

"Boss, what are you going to deal with this matter?" Qiao Liang said.

"What do you think I will deal with it?" Li Youwei said.

"I..." Qiao Liang didn't know what to say for a moment. Although he knew Li Youwei very well, his mind suddenly became very confused at this time.

Qiao Liang stared at Li Youwei in a daze.

Li Youwei leaned his body against the back of the sofa and took a deep breath: "Do you know why I only told you this now?"

"Why?" Qiao Liang said.

"Because I think everyone has a good New Year, especially these three items of goods." Li Youwei said.

"Then, now the Chinese New Year is over, what should I do?" Qiao Liang said.

"What should I do? Do it in accordance with the law and the group regulations." Li Youwei said simply.

Qiao Liang was shocked and did it according to the group regulations. It was obvious that their jobs would be lost and they would be fired. However, according to the law, this was obviously a serious crime of leaking commercial secrets and was to be jailed.

Judging from the serious nature and consequences of what they did, this is their deserving and inevitable retribution.

but……

For some reason, Qiao Liang suddenly felt entangled again. The three of them followed Li Youwei loyally for so many years, from newspapers to Zhengtai Group, could Li Youwei really make up this decision. Can he really attack them?

Qiao Liang looked at Li Youwei. His expression was very firm at this time, but his eyes were filled with great pain, and his hands holding the cigarette were trembling slightly.

Qiao Liang understood Li Youwei's heart at this time, deeply understood, and knew that it was extremely painful for him to make this decision, but he had to do it, and could only do it, because he knew his position in the Zhengtai Group, knew Fang Xiaoya's absolute trust in him and his unreserved trust, knew the serious nature of what Shen Tao and the others did, and knew how huge losses they would bring to the group. As the general manager of the group, Li Youwei must be responsible to the group, and must be responsible to Fang Xiaoya, and must make this painful and helpless decision.

Qiao Liang thought for a while and asked Li Youwei carefully: "Boss, does Xiaoya know about this?"

"After learning about the results of this investigation, I told Xiaoya immediately." Li Youwei said.

Qiao Liang nodded, which means that Fang Xiaoya knew about this before the new year.

"Then, how did Xiaoya express her opinion?" Qiao Liang said.

"Xiaoya did not express any attitude, but only said that I had the full authority to handle this matter. No matter how it was handled, she would accept it." Li Youwei said.

Qiao Liang frowned slightly. Fang Xiaoya said this, obviously because she realized the personal relationship between Li Youwei and Shen Tao and others, and did not want Li Youwei to be too embarrassed. This shows Fang Xiaoya's unreserved trust in Li Youwei.

But Fang Xiaoya said this, which would put Li Youwei under pressure. If Fang Xiaoya made a decision to deal with it directly, Li Youwei would be more relaxed. But now Fang Xiaoya kicked the ball to Li Youwei, for all-round considerations, he could only make such a decision.

Qiao Liang thought for a while: "Boss, have you called the police?"

"Not yet, I'm going to call the police today. After learning about this result, I planned to call the police immediately, but considering the Spring Festival and their families, I decided to let them have a stable year with their families." Li Youwei said.

"According to the nature and severity of this matter, once they call the police, they will definitely go to jail." Qiao Liang said.

"Yes, these three unsatisfactory things are their own fault." Li Youwei said in a tone of regret.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Youwei's cell phone rang. Li Youwei took out his cell phone and saw that he was calling Fang Xiaoya.

Qiao Liang also saw the caller ID and felt excited.

Li Youwei glanced at Qiao Liang, felt aroused, then answered, and pressed the hands-free button.

"Brother Li, it's me..." Fang Xiaoya's somewhat weak voice came from the phone.

Listening to Fang Xiaoya's voice, Qiao Liang remained silent, and while being excited, he felt sorry for his heart.

Li Youwei said: "Xiaoya, I was thinking about calling you and telling you how to deal with Chen Tao, Niu Zhiqiang and Lin Jianjun. I have decided to fire them from the group first, call the police second, and call the police third, I have an important responsibility for this incident. I want to make a profound review to you and the group board of directors and resign in response to blame..."

When Qiao Liang heard the last sentence Li Youwei said, "Damn, Li Youwei is going to resign, this is a big deal."

Fang Xiaoye was silent for a moment and said, "Brother Li, I agree with your first decision. As for calling the police... After all, they are your old subordinates. After all, they have a deep personal relationship with you. After all, they followed you from the newspaper to the group. After all, they have made contributions to the development of the group before. Considering these factors, my suggestion is... forget it..."

"No." Li Youwei interrupted Fang Xiaoya and said decisively, "No matter how deep their personal relationships they have and me, no matter what contributions they have made to the group, the fact now is that their behavior seriously corrupts the image of the group and brings huge passiveness and losses to the group's operations. If it is not handled seriously, how can I explain to the group's board of directors and all employees? How can I keep my trust in me by the board of directors and group employees? How can I keep my position and responsibilities? How can I keep my conscience?"

Fang Xiaoya didn't say anything, Qiao Liang listened silently, his heart turbulently.

Li Youwei continued: "Also, if they let them go because of their relationship with me and their contributions to the group, then what will you think? What will you think about me? What do you think about you? How do you think about the board of directors? How can the group strictly manage it in the future? What should I do if something similar happens in the future? So, in this matter, I insist on my own opinion, that is, I must deal with it in accordance with the law. Since they have violated the law, they must accept the sanctions of the law. This is the result of their own death, and they must bear the corresponding consequences and responsibilities."

Li Youwei said every sentence is reasonable and has sufficient reasons. Although he is in pain in doing so, he must and can only do this.

Listening to Li Youwei's attitude, Fang Xiaoya was silent for a moment and said: "Okay, Brother Li, I agree with the second point. As for the third point, I understand your mood at the moment and know that you are very self-blame. According to the relevant regulations and procedures of the group, you said you would make a review to the board of directors because of this. I agree, but you don't need to review to me personally. Also, you said you would resign because of the blame. My attitude is very clear: I don't agree."

"But, Xiaoya..." Li Youwei said.

Fang Xiaoya interrupted Li Youwei: "Nothing, Brother Li, I know your character and your abilities. Although you have certain leadership responsibilities in this matter, you have no way to control it. You have done everything you should do, and you have tried your best, so there is no need to blame yourself anymore.

Zhengtai Group cannot be without you, and it cannot be separated from you. Especially now, I cannot manage the group, and I need you to support the group and to lead the group to continue to develop. Therefore, I firmly disagree with the matter of your resignation. There is no room for negotiation on this point.

I hope Brother Li can continue to serve as the president of the group. From a big perspective, it is for the benefit of the group. From a small perspective, it is for the relationship between you, Qiao Liang and my brother-sister, even if you help me and Zhengtai Group..."

Fang Xiaoya said this with a firm and sincere attitude. When Li Youwei heard this, he had a touching expression on his face, and he felt a little self-blame and guilt.

After a moment of silence, Li Youwei said, "Xiaoya, I promise you."

Qiao Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and Fang Xiaoya, who was far away from the earth, also breathed a sigh of relief.

After calling Fang Xiaoya, Li Youwei took out three cards from his pocket and handed them to Qiao Liang: "Look back, when you are convenient, give them to their family. This is my personal meaning. Each card has 1 million, and the password is on the back..."

Qiao Liang understood what Li Youwei meant, and felt a little moved, and silently took the card and put it on.

Then Li Youwei said: "I'll arrange for someone to call the police now..."

As he said that, Li Youwei stood up and walked to his desk, touched the phone and wanted to dial.

Qiao Liang stared at Li Youwei blankly, and for some reason, suddenly said: "Boss, wait a moment."

"Hmm?" Li Youwei frowned and looked at Qiao Liang, "What are you waiting for?"

"I..." Qiao Liang hesitated for a moment, "Boss, I think... can I let me talk to them three first."

Li Youwei frowned deeper: "At this point, what else do you have to talk to them?"

"I... don't know...but, I still want to..." Qiao Liang spoke incoherently.

Li Youwei looked at Qiao Liang silently and let out a gentle breath: "Okay, I promise you that you go to the small conference room next door now, and I will ask someone to inform them of the three of them."

Qiao Liang nodded, then got up and went out, went to the small conference room next door, and sat at the oval conference table and smoked silently.

At this time, Qiao Liang remembered the unforgettable years of hard work with Shen Tao and others in the newspaper, and the ups and downs they had experienced together, and suddenly felt sad.

But when I think of Shen Tao and the others' actions, my heart is filled with anger and disappointment.

In this sadness, anger and disappointment, Qiao Liang was in a mess.

Search and follow Weixin Gong Chongnuan: Tianxia Yike.

After a while, the door of the small conference room was pushed open. Shen Tao, Niu Zhiqiang and Lin Jianjun came in with great enthusiasm. When they saw Qiao Liang, they were all very happy and bowed to their old age.

Qiao Liang looked at them calmly, without saying a word or bowing back.

This made them feel strange.

Qiao Liang pointed to the opposite side: "Three, sit."

They looked at each other, then sat opposite Qiao Liang, and looked at Qiao Liang together.

Qiao Liang looked at them silently, with complex eyes, and deep anger.

This made them feel panic and uneasy, and then looked at each other, and then Shen Tao looked at Qiao Liang and said, "Brother, what's wrong? Why do you think of us like this?"

"Yes, brother, what's going on with you today?" Niu Zhiqiang said.

"Brother, you are so strange today." Lin Jianjun said.

Qiao Liang said slowly: "You are doing well in Zhengtai Group?"

"Okay, very good." They nodded together.

"Is there anything wrong with you in Zhengtai Group and President Li?" Qiao Liang said again.

"No, no, judging by what you said, President Li is our old leader, and the Zhengtai Group is our new birthplace. We are only grateful to President Li and the Zhengtai Group..." Chen Tao said.

The other two nodded,

"Well, you guys say that, it's great, it's great..." Qiao Liang said slowly, and suddenly slapped the table with a "smack" and then looked at them with both eyes.
