Xiao Zichen was a little surprised to see Liu Mingyu being so considerate. He was the only one who dared to be the bad guy, but it was a matter of major importance to the company, so he could only be impartial and impartial.
Lu Mingli calmed down for a while, her mood calmed down a little, and then she continued to speak.
"Mr. Xiao, my husband and I have known each other since we were young. He and I are the only two college students in our village. We have supported each other along the way, lived in basements, and set up night market stalls. Along the way, we have achieved what we have today. We have also
I have a lovely son, and my husband has always been very good to me. Over the years, he still takes care of me as he did when we were in love. When I saw him kneeling in front of me and begging me to help him, I softened my heart. If I
If something really happens to my husband, then our family will be separated. We have finally found a foothold in Los Angeles, and I can't let it all come to nothing."
"So, you chose to betray the company."
"No, I didn't. The bid document I sent them was modified. Mr. Xiao, I asked my husband to change a few numbers on it before sending it to Miss Jiang."
Although Lu Mingli knew that she had done something wrong, she would never admit it if she didn't do it.
After hearing this, Xiao Zichen asked suspiciously.
"It has been modified, but I was present during the whole process of the Sifford Group's explanation at the bidding site that day. Not even a single punctuation mark was changed in the bidding document from beginning to end. What did you change?"
"Price, I know that every company in this bidding meeting will publicly explain the design concept and design theme, so I did not use any data on this. But I know that each company's bidding price is not public, so I let
My husband recalculated and tampered with the cost details. My husband said that only those who participated in the entire process of formulating the bid will notice the differences, otherwise they will not be noticed at all, but these changes in prices will affect the overall
Price. Even if the other party gets the bid and wants to modify it, they will never dare to mess with the cost unless they are willing to lose money in order to win the project."
After hearing this, Xiao Zichen seemed to believe Lu Mingli's words, but everything depends on evidence. After Lu Mingli finished speaking, Xiao Zichen said.
"How can I believe what you said? The emails in your mailbox can be modified. It's impossible for me to believe what you say based on your words alone."
"Mr. Xiao, I just contacted Yucheng and asked them to send a copy of Sifu Group's bidding document. You see, these places I marked have indeed been modified, and here,
Their base price was almost 1.5 percent higher than our correct bid."
At this time, Liu Mingyu on the side took out a thick document from the ground with several labels on it. As he spoke, he handed the document to Xiao Zichen.
When Xiao Zichen saw this, he glanced lightly and said meaningfully.
"You've done a good job. What else have you prepared?"
When Liu Mingyu and Yu Jinfan heard this, they shook their heads directly.
"No, it's just this copy. Mr. Xiao, please take a look at it first."
Xiao Zichen glanced at the document on the table, picked it up and flipped through a few pages. Indeed, as Lu Mingli said, several data had been modified. If he hadn't known every detail of the tender document, it would have been difficult to detect these changes.
.
After that, Xiao Zichen put down the document and looked at Lu Mingli again. The anger in his heart was less than before, but after all, Lu Mingli also made a mistake, and he could not not hold him accountable at all.
"Since you didn't give Jiang Moyao a correct bid, why did you hide it? Do you think this kind of thing can be hidden forever?"
"I, Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry. I just wanted to make sure that my husband would be fine. I really couldn't take care of the rest. Mr. Xiao, since I haven't caused any real losses to the company, please give me another chance. Don't
Fire me."
Lu Mingli just wants to keep her job now. If she is fired by Sino-Ocean, what she did will definitely spread in the industry, and no one will dare to hire her.
Seeing that Lu Mingli had been pleading, Xiao Zichen was silent for a long time. After a while, Xiao Zichen spoke quietly.
"Okay, I'll be here today. You don't have to go to work these days. Just wait for the company's disciplinary results."
After all, he was the secretary of the president's office, and there were reasons for Lu Mingli's situation, so it was impossible for Xiao Zichen to make an immediate decision.
After Lu Mingli heard this, she wanted to plead, but Yu Jinfan at the side stopped her.
"Okay, Secretary Lu, please quickly hand over the work at hand to Wang Lu and go home first to wait for news."
With that said, Yu Jinfan winked at Lu Mingli, and Lu Mingli could only silently exit the office.
As soon as they left, Liu Mingyu closed the office door directly, and then heard Xiao Zichen ask.
"What do you think about this?"
"Well, to be honest, when I received the notice from the Ministry of Information, I was very angry. It was me who promoted Secretary Lu. But after learning about her situation, I felt that she was actually quite pitiful.
Yes, her husband did something wrong and asked her to clean up the mess."
Yu Jinfan opened his mouth, with a look of regret on his face.
After Xiao Zichen heard this, he already knew what Yu Jinfan was thinking, so he said something.
"So, you plan to deal with it leniently?"
"Well, it depends on your decision, President Xiao. However, Secretary Lu's ability has been there over the past few years. Basically, in Wang Lu's absence, she has been arranging work in the secretary's office. She has also been diligent and diligent in these years.
Gentlemen, if you were fired just because of this matter, I'm afraid it would chill the hearts of everyone in the secretary's office. Of course, if Secretary Lu directly passed the tender document to Jiang Moyao without modifying the data this time, that would be a different matter. Now
At best, it can only be regarded as concealing and not reporting."
"Humph, you are quite good at speaking. If you do something wrong, you will do something wrong. When Jiang Moyao called to threaten her, she had many ways to solve the problem, but she chose the stupidest way. What do you think?
Can people still stay in the President’s Secretary’s Office?”
Xiao Zichen had his own considerations. Some things just happened when they happened. From this incident, Xiao Zichen also saw a fatal weakness of Lu Mingli, that is, she could not rationally distinguish between feelings and work, which was a taboo in the workplace.
Liu Mingyu, who was standing by, saw the two CEOs arguing endlessly and stepped forward to mediate at the right time.
"Mr. Xiao, Vice President Yu, I remember the Human Resources Department said that Haicheng is lacking an administrative supervisor? Secretary Lu happened to be an administrator before, or else she should be transferred to Haicheng. According to the company's management level
, she has been demoted two levels in a row, which is an explanation to the employees below and a punishment to Secretary Lu."
"So, you both think that Secretary Lu's behavior is not serious enough to warrant expulsion, right?"
