Chapter 23 – The Bento of Love in the Middle of the Night Part 1

I don’t know who stabbed him in the back?

The meaning of this remark was really worth thinking through.

However, after the conference room was quiet again, the attitudes of several shareholders, including Heng Li and Chai Jun, became a little uneasy.

Zu Jin quietly watched everyone’s reaction, and she didn’t continue speaking.

She wanted to put the decision back into the hands of these people.

After all, if she did talk about how she handled these dirty things, the directors would flush with anger. Then, they would turn around and claim that she had slandered them.

The ones who should be embarrassed were them. Why should she butt into their troubles?

“Non-anonymous reporting? Why have I never heard of this before? Could it be that someone is trying to deliberately frame us?” One of the shareholders suddenly asked with a gleam in his eyes.

Zu Jin put her hands together on the table and gave a faint smile. “Chairman Wang, are you saying that the person who reported under his real name has no evidence? The evidence is with Xu Peng.”

Xu Peng caught her meaning and immediately got up and gave a document to each of them.

Zu Jin added, “At that time, in order to verify the authenticity of the evidence, I asked for an internal investigation and it was determined that all the reported evidence was real. I was very shocked and sad at the same time. I did not expect for our Qiyu to have been progressively embezzled by these pests over the years. If it wasn’t for how Chairman Ji Desheng always guided me to be lenient and tolerant of everyone…”

“That’s enough! Shut up!”

Suddenly, there was a shout in the conference room.

It was Chai Jun who spoke up this time.

Everyone’s turned to look at him at the same time.

Chai Jun’s entire face was full of anger and he looked at Zu Jin with contempt. “Since you already had so much evidence for so long, why did you keep it a secret from us and not report it? Have you been colluding with them against the interests of the corporation all this time? It is clear that you have been acting for your own benefit so that you can secure your position at a time like this. I can see through your intentions!”

“Oh, then Chairman Chai, please explain to me what my intentions are?”

“The corporation has suffered so many losses. It is ultimately all because of your negligent leadership! You know you are not qualified to continue to sit in this position, so you want to threaten us with this evidence. How could I be wrong?!”

Zu Jin let out a chuckle in spite of herself. She said with doubt on her face, “But when I found out that your relatives had been wasting away the interests of the corporation, I had already tried to stop them so that these losses have been recovered and rectified. As for how I am using this evidence to keep my position, isn’t it only the right and proper way to do so? Why am I wrong?”

Chai Jun’s eyes were about to crack from listening to her, and he was about to continue to fight back.

But Zu Jin didn’t have the patience to spend anymore time with him in his downfall.

“I believe it is better for everyone to think of how to deal with the media tomorrow instead of just sitting here. As soon as the Metropolitan Financial Daily comes out tomorrow, we, Qiyu corporation, will suffer an unprecedented crisis. When that moment comes, Qiyu’s stock prices will fall, and the partners in our project collaborations will push for terminating the contract and request for compensation. This was all caused by the shareholders here. My advice for everyone here is to draft an apology statement to shareholders and partners as soon as possible. Additionally, to approach this sincerely, to ensure that relatives will never be placed internally from now on, and that no one will try to find someone of dubious character again to take my place.”

Zu Jin’s words were imposing because everyone became aware of every word she said at this moment.

She did everything she could.

If they did not comply, then every single one of them here would be disgraced tomorrow.

Zu Jin walked out of the conference room and praised Xu Peng, who followed her out, “You did a good job just now. When this is over and the vice president leaves, I will promote you. Okay, there’s nothing else to do. Go home first.”

Xu Peng finally had a smile on his face. He nodded and agreed. Then, he turned around and left.

When Zu Jin returned to the president’s office, Xia Tong let out a scream as soon as she closed the door.

“Aaahhh! Jin Jie, you are so awesome. You don’t know how awesome you were just now!”

However, Zu Jin didn’t care about being happy. After she sat down, she took out her cell phone and immediately made another call.

“Lao Zhang, how’s it going with your friend? I’ve already sent you and your friend 1 million yuan. Remember to check it.”

The man on the other side of the phone call heard her and chuckled a few times. “President Jin, you are so polite. It’s too late for him to beg you to send him such serious news. At eight o’clock tomorrow morning, you can sit in front of the TV and watch the financial channel. My friend from the TV station said that their director has already approved it. Haha!”
