Chapter 354 Rumors and troubles (5000-character chapter)
After Wang Qiong received a call from Zhang Yiming in Shanghai, she thought for a while and then told Zhang Yiming that she came to the capital to meet Zhang Yiming for an interview.
After hearing this result, Zhang Yiming breathed a sigh of relief. He no longer had to worry about money.
On the other side, after Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun sent Zhang Yiming and the others to Qicheng Station, Luo Xiyun asked him: "Zekai, Mr. Zhang and the others are out of money again? Didn't they just take 900,000 from you in September?"
"
"How can I put it this way? The Internet is a purely money-consuming thing." Xia Zekai used his limited knowledge reserve to explain to his wife, and finally said: "In the early stage, it is enough to have people, but in the later stage, it is necessary to promote and purchase or rent a large number of servers.
Only if you have money."
"Advertisement, promotion, and regional expansion don't require money to clear the way."
Luo Xiyun said "Oh" and said, "Didn't you already invest last time? Why don't you invest this time?"
Xia Zekai looked at his wife calmly: "Twenty percent of the shares is already a lot. Besides, I can't be sure. I can't grasp it. If I invest too much, the uncertainty will be too great. It's better to use the money to do something useful."
Something to grasp.”
Luo Xiyun seemed to understand. She nodded and said, "Well, as long as you have a plan in mind."
Xia Zekai suddenly heard his wife say this and glared. I just said casually that there was Mao's plan.
After Luo Xiyun's novelty of the new car wore off, she no longer wanted to drive around. She said to the three men in the back seat: "Shall we go home?"
"No more turning twice?" Xia Zekai asked her with a smile,
Luo Xiyun turned back and glared at her: "I'm just going to change my mind. Let's go home and rest."
After saying that, she drove directly north.
…
The next morning, Luo Xiyun drove his Volvo S40 with a temporary license plate to the company.
The passionate red color looked very eye-catching, and the new car attracted a lot of attention on the road. When she drove to the company, she attracted even more attention.
When Yue Haiquan, the young production supervisor of the production department, saw this car, his eyes lit up: "Hey, Manager Luo, this is a new car you just bought. It's a Volvo. It costs a lot of money."
"It's not worth much." Luo Xiyun said with a smile.
After finishing speaking, she said: "Director Yue, I still have some unfinished business over there, so I'm leaving first."
"Okay, Manager Luo, you are busy." Yue Haiquan nodded with a smile.
After Luo Xiyun left, Yue Haiquan walked to the place where Luo Xiyun parked his car and took a look at the model of the car.
"S40, let me check how much does this car cost?" Yue Haiquan was very curious. He took out his mobile phone and entered the keywords 'Volvo S40 price' into the browser. The search results came out soon, and then
The manufacturer's guidance price for the 'Volvo S40' appeared. Depending on the configuration, it ranged from 248,000 yuan for the lowest configuration to 378,000 yuan for the highest configuration. After reading it, Yue Haiquan was stunned.
He looked at the search results on his phone, then at the red Volvo S40 in the parking space, and finally at Luo Xiyun, who had already disappeared, and suddenly he didn't know what to say.
"So expensive? Which version of Manager Luo's car is it? How much does it cost?" Yue Haiquan couldn't tell.
There are more and more people working in the back. The people parking here are all engineers, directors, and managers. After they came over, more and more people noticed the unregistered Volvo S40, but the owner
Luo Xiyun had already gone to the quality department office. Yue Haiquan, the only one who saw Luo Xiyun get out of the car, had already gone back to the workshop to prepare materials for the meeting later. The rest of the people didn't know who the car belonged to, but it caused a stir.
A moment of speculation.
Various versions are available.
Yue Haiquan is really not a person who can keep secrets. When the company held a production meeting in the morning, he publicized Luo Xiyun's purchase of a new car to many people.
Luo Xiyun didn't know about this yet. When she came to the meeting with the newly printed production data in the morning, several people congratulated her, which puzzled her. After further inquiry, she found that these people all congratulated her on buying a new car.
He also asked her when she would congratulate her.
Among the people who came to the meeting, many people were quite envious.
Luo Xiyun first drove over in a new GL8 for business. Not long after, he drove over again in a Volvo S40 that had not yet been registered.
A new car costing at least over 200,000 yuan is an income that most people in this group would not dare to consider buying.
Income and disposable savings are two different things.
Luo Xiyun understood as soon as he thought about it, it must have been Yue Haiquan's unstoppable mouth that let him know.
But she doesn't care, it's not something shameful, and there's no need to be secretive: "It's just a mobility scooter. I bought the Volvo mainly for safety."
"That's right, safety first." Someone heard and echoed.
But this is positive chatter, and negative voices are also spreading secretly everywhere.
Some people are angry that Luo Xiyun has only been employed for 9 months and she is still the manager of the quality department. These people smear her with some malice, saying that she relies on this position to secretly accept benefits from suppliers.
After all, in addition to in-factory inspection, the quality department also performs project inspection work on out-of-factory raw materials, packaging materials, accessories and other products, which is commonly known as incoming material inspection.
There are always some people who think they know the whole world, and they feel that doing this kind of inspection will inevitably involve dealing with external suppliers.
If some of the incoming materials are "unqualified" during the experiment or are at the "qualified line and off-line" stage, in order to ensure smooth supply, some suppliers will prepare some "public relations expenses", that is, red envelopes or something.
They think that Luo Xiyun, as the head of the quality department, will inevitably take this issue, right?
Otherwise, why would she drive a new Buick GL8 Business and then a Volvo S40 after she had only been employed for less than a year? She couldn't build it like this even if her family had a mine!
Excluding this factor, it can only mean that Luo Xiyun is not clean in this position.
A considerable number of people's hearts are evil-minded, and many people cannot bear to see others living better than themselves. Privately, there is a group of people who would rather believe that Luo Xiyun is reaping the benefits, and no one wants to believe that Luo Xiyun's family has enough strength to buy whatever they want.
new car'.
And this kind of 'gossip' spreads quite fast. Luo Xiyun temporarily finished her work at noon. When she went to the company restaurant to eat, she didn't know if it was an illusion, but she noticed that some eyes were looking at her a little strangely.
.
Luo Xiyun didn't know what happened, and she didn't think much about it. After finishing her meal, she walked from the company restaurant to the quality department office.
While walking in the workshop, someone came over and asked her: "Manager Luo, I heard that I bought a new car. I have always heard that Volvo cars are very safe, but are they expensive?"
This was a strange question, and Luo Xiyun frowned. She looked at Huang Chaohui, one of the directors of the production department, and said, "It's not bad, it's not very expensive."
"No matter how cheap it is, it's still two to three hundred thousand. Manager Luo can buy a car if he wants to. It's great. We don't know when we will be able to afford a Volvo." Huang Chaohui's face was filled with envy.
Luo Xiyun shook his head: "Director Huang, with your income, you can buy it in full in two or three years. If you pay it in installments, you can buy it next year."
"Oh, then I have to stop eating and drinking." Huang Chaohui said.
Luo Xiyun was not in the mood to talk to him anymore, so he said, "Director Huang, I still have some work to do there, so I'm leaving first."
Huang Chaohui quickly responded and said: "Okay, Manager Luo, you are busy."
When Luo Xiyun returned to the office, she found that several people in the office were looking at her evasively.
What's happening here?
Seeing Liu Jing also in the office, she shouted: "Liu Jing, come here, I have something to ask you."
"Okay, manager!" Liu Jing quickly followed Luo Xiyun into her small office.
"Liu Jing, tell me, did something happen today?" Luo Xiyun asked her directly without beating around the bush.
Liu Jing hesitated for a while and then said: "Manager, I don't know what's going on, but during lunch today, several people asked me if you had..."
"If there's anything, just say it directly. It's not that laborious." Luo Xiyun said angrily.
Liu Jing took a deep breath and said quickly: "Manager, I don't know who spread the rumor that you received benefits from suppliers and used these benefits to buy a new car."
"boom!"
After Luo Xiyun heard this, his first reaction was to clenched his fist and hit his desk with such force that the laptop on his desk started to vibrate.
"This is unreasonable. Whose mouth is so unclean and talks nonsense?" Luo Xiyun became angry.
This is slander. She asked: "Liu Jing, tell me, who has asked you?"
"Manager, this..." Liu Jing stammered. Seeing that Luo Xiyun had become particularly ugly, she told all the people who came to her for questioning. Luo Xiyun listened and told these people.
The names were written down in the notebook, and she also checked with Liu Jing to see if there were any mistakes in the names.
After Liu Jing finished speaking, she said: "Okay, you can go out first."
Liu Jing didn't say anything else, turned around and left Luo Xiyun's office. She also helped Luo Xiyun close the office door.
In the small office, Luo Xiyun thought for a while, then left the quality department office with his laptop, and then walked all the way through the workshop to the administrative office area in front.
Along the way, she observed carefully and found that some people looked at her strangely. It seemed that they had also heard this 'gossip'.
"It's really hard to worry about things. You don't know what to do before you make a few bucks, and that's all you have to offer!" Luo Xiyun despised these people in her heart. She didn't even bother to ask them, and went directly to the general manager's office.
"Wang Di, is Mr. Qi here?" After Luo Xiyun came over, he directly asked Wang Di, the secretary of the general manager's office.
When Wang Di saw her, he nodded with a smile and said, "Manager Luo, Mr. Qi is inside."
"Okay, Wang Di, tell Mr. Qi that I have something important to report to her." Luo Xiyun said with a hint of anger.
Wang Di responded, hurriedly went to report to Qi Jiahui, and then came out again and said: "Manager Luo, Mr. Qi will let you in."
When Luo Xiyun entered, Qi Jiahui had an open notebook in front of her, and she was obviously busy too.
She pointed to the empty chair opposite the desk: "Mr. Luo, sit down."
"Mr. Qi, I came here today to report something very important to you." Luo Xiyun said.
Qi Jiahui said with a smile: "What happened to Manager Luo? Why is he so sulky? Tell me."
Luo Xiyun had no plans to be kind today. She knew in her heart that there could only be one voice in this matter, which would either prove that she had never done anything, or that she would bear the blame.
When she reported the matter to Qi Jiahui again, she did not add any fuel to the fire and described the matter calmly: "Mr. Qi, someone is secretly slandering me and spreading rumors to cause trouble. I don't know what their intentions are.
, but I want to make it clear that this incident has seriously slandered my reputation and I am not done yet."
After Qi Jiahui listened, the expression on her face immediately became serious: "Is there still such a thing?"
Luo Xiyun didn't care whether she had 'got the news' or not, and nodded heavily and said: "It is true, I just asked people in our department, and someone asked her at noon whether I received any benefits, haha, how interesting!
"
"Mr. Qi, I apply for the company's audit to verify my work. If I have problems, I can do whatever I want. But if I don't have problems, I request that all those who spread rumors and cause trouble be dealt with seriously." Luo Xiyun's attitude was very firm.
Qi Jiahui is such a shrewd person. She waved her hand directly and said: "I don't know what others said, but I believe that Manager Luo, you are such a person that there is no need for audit and verification. Well, don't you have a list of several people there?
?I arranged for Wang Di to call them one by one, and Manager Luo and I will ask you face to face to find out who is spreading the rumor. Once you find out who it is, no matter who it is, you will deal with it seriously immediately and give Manager Luo an explanation. "
Luo Xiyun didn't say anything, as he agreed.
When Qi Jiahui asked her secretary Wang Di to call people according to the list on Luo Xiyun's notebook, Qi Jiahui said with a smile: "Manager Luo, I still don't know what your partner does?"
"He opened a food processing factory and was messing around." Luo Xiyun curled her lips and said with a smile. Although she said this, anyone with a discerning eye could see the pride and pride in her eyes.
Qi Jiahui was even more puzzled. She asked: "I know a few food factories in Qicheng, but I don't know which factory your partner runs?"
To be honest, when Luo Xiyun drove GL8 to work before, she was also curious about what Luo Xiyun's family did. This was inconsistent with the family situation she learned when she first recruited Luo Xiyun.
She clearly remembered that when she interviewed Luo Xiyun, she said at that time that her partner was running business in a private factory. It hadn't been a year, so why did she open a factory?
"Mr. Qi, he runs Jingtong Food Factory." This is the first time Luo Xiyun has spoken about this matter publicly in the company.
She didn't hide it deliberately, but she didn't feel compelled to publicize it before.
Qi Jiahui seemed to have heard of this 'Jingtong Food Factory' somewhere, but she didn't have a deep impression, and she didn't think of it for a while.
Soon the first person on Luo Xiyun's list came over. She was a woman. She was Xue Jing, a clerk in the production department office.
Xue Jing was frightened when she heard that Wang Di called and said that Mr. Qi was looking for her. Mr. Qi directly asked her what she had done.
Wang Di then told her that Manager Luo from the quality department was also looking for her. Xue Jing immediately thought of the 'rumors'. She wondered if it was because of this?
When she came to the general manager's office, she saw Luo Xiyun and Qi Jiahui sitting together. After she entered, Qi Jiahui said, "Are you Xue? Don't be afraid. Manager Luo has something to ask you. Just tell the truth."
"But if you are dishonest and have something to hide, after verification, the company will directly deal with it according to the violation system."
Xue Jing was frightened now. She was a little confused. This was not what she thought.
Luo Xiyun asked her: "Xue Jing, who told you that I secretly received benefits from suppliers?"
"..." Xue Jing was stunned on the spot. She had never experienced this battle before, so she didn't know what to say.
But Luo Xiyun was not going to give her a chance to 'quibble', and said directly: "Liu Jing has already told me, you can ask her about 'I received red envelopes from suppliers' at noon."
"Not to mention that I have not received red envelopes from any suppliers, Xue Jing, the management of the rumor-mongering company, has seriously slandered my reputation. According to the provisions of the company's employee handbook and discipline manual, I remember that
I can fire you directly, and I can even ignore the company and directly call the police." Luo Xiyun had no intention of being nice from the beginning, she had to let others know that she was not someone to be bullied.
You're talking nonsense, you have to take responsibility for your actions!
Qi Jiahui was sitting on her chair. When she heard Luo Xiyun say this, she looked at Luo Xiyun twice more and said nothing.
Xue Jing was really frightened.
She quickly told everything she knew, and the result was that Luo Xiyun wrote down a few more names in her notebook.
After Qi Jiahui heard this, her face looked particularly ugly.
She actually heard this 'rumor', but she didn't take it seriously. She had experienced this kind of thing before.
She didn't expect that the names Xue Jing just mentioned included middle-level managers and above in the company.
This made her feel very angry.
After Xue Jing finished speaking, Qi Jiahui waved her out expressionlessly, and then Wang Di called the remaining people over one by one in the order of the list.
Luo Xiyun still told the people behind him the same thing he said when he asked Xue Jing.
She didn't mean to be joking, and this frightened many people at once. They all confided in each other very quickly, fearing that Manager Luo would really get angry and call the police.
Most ordinary people are always somewhat psychologically afraid when facing the police.
They never thought that just a piece of "gossip" they heard and then spread from them would have such serious consequences, especially with Mr. Qi accompanying them to inquire. At this moment, they regretted it.
