Chapter 83: Where did you go to die, Gu Yu?
Xiao Qian looked at everyone in the office, first silently staring, then suddenly bursting out laughing, "You guys really are surprising me."
The investment bank's director, who was involved in the investment below, has always been proud and self-satisfied. This industry requires talent, people are more important than anything else, and it is very different from some industries that only require money. Therefore, the management layer of the company has a high degree of freedom in operation and management.
He looked at Xiao Qian with a spread of his hands, "Xiao Zong, I heard that Gu Zong may be leaving the company. At this time, she has every motivation to do this, and her purpose is not only to get a commission, but also to pave the way for her own future. By taking advantage of this opportunity, she can curry favor with the forces she wants to approach. So, since Xiao Zong is going to leave, she knows that there are too many secrets in the Xiao family, and her abilities are also obvious. If someone else gets them, it would be adding another powerful enemy for us. It's better not to... Jun"
If she can't be used by me, then I'll just destroy her.
He said this, and at the same time looked at Xiao Qian, who had no expression on his face, nor was there any anger, he just raised his eyes and looked at him calmly, with a very calm and composed demeanor.
He had always known that Xiao Qian didn't like Gu Yu, let alone the fact that they were getting a divorce now. He thought that the news of their divorce must be true, because neither of them had clarified it after finding out, so it seemed to be acknowledged by default.
If so, Xiao Qian should agree with this view.
Everyone watched as Xiao Qian slowly stood up, a smile on his face that seemed to be both amused and helpless.
He stood with his hands behind him, looking at each face sitting down, walked past the back of every room, and made a circle before returning to his seat. He didn't sit down, he stood there and suddenly slapped the table.
The air in the entire room seemed to freeze instantly, as if the temperature had dropped by several degrees.
Xiao Qian's face was as cold as frost, his eyes scanned with an icy gaze, leaving behind a temperature that couldn't be concealed, making everyone's heart suddenly cool down.
"Do you know who you've just collectively opposed, and who you're ready to vote to be the scapegoat?" Xiao Qian's voice was like a cold knife cutting through.
"You're talking about Gu Yao, she's my wife, the second lady of the Xiao family! Are you going to send my wife to prison and have me applaud and agree with your opinion?"
Xiao Qian hummed and looked at the director of the investment bank.
At this time, the investment bank's director was already gone from his previous confident smile, replaced by a pale face.
Xiao Qian said, "Are you an inside agent sent by Jiang Xiaoxuan?"
The investment bank's director suddenly stiffened, "Director Xiao, how is that possible? I have my own share of dividends in the Xiao Corporation, I won't help others harm myself."
Xiao Qian coldly snorted, "You think that little bit of profit is pretty good? What about Gu Yan, half the company belongs to her, has she gone crazy helping others?"
"But... Director Xiao, she isn't leaving, is she?" The investment bank's director asked with a hint of boldness.
Xiao Qian looked at him, "Even if we are going to divorce, we will part ways peacefully. Gu Yan has never said that she would leave the Xiao family. Moreover, when the company's security itself has a problem, the top priority is to find the real insider, not to hastily find a scapegoat. What are you all doing here for me now?"
Xiao Qianhuo pointed at everyone in the room, "Are you incapable of finding the mole, so you're putting all your energy into finding a scapegoat instead?"
Someone raised his head at this time, "Xiao Zong, the top priority is that we must think of a way to protect the overall situation. Voting is also fair and just, each of us hopes that the company can get comprehensive protection, and voting for Gu Zong is also after careful consideration, feeling that she is the most suitable..."
Xiao Qian looked at the man, letting out a cold laugh, "If I really had to choose, then I'd pick you. In terms of contributions to the company, you're the lowest. General Manager Gu is in charge of seven cases every year and earns over 400 million for the company. How much have you earned?"
His face stiffened and turned into a pale complexion like a vegetable dish.
"But what if Director Xiao gets a divorce? She'll still have to get married again, right? The future is uncertain, and the more she contributes, the more secrets she might take away with her. We can't be too careful."
Xiao Qian turned around and said, "If that's the case, then you haven't considered Yan's contribution, yet you share the same rights as her and have the opportunity to access the security system. Can I say that your danger and contribution are even more disproportionate?"
Everyone was in an uproar, looking at each other and discussing it, the scene suddenly became chaotic.
"General Xiao, you're abducting our words and finding excuses to favor General Gu. We know your relationship with General Gu is different, but this is unfair."
Xiao Qian's face turned cold as he looked over, and he let out a strange laugh. "Strange, I'm biased towards her? She..."
"Is it my wife? I'm not biased towards her, I'm biased towards you, am I blind?"
Everyone was stunned again, and for a moment they couldn't refute it.
Such a situation has never occurred before, and they have always adhered to fairness and justice, with the management team making consistent decisions. However, Xiao Qian has now directly ordered for the first time, almost completely tilting the balance in Gu Yu's favor, which makes everyone feel unexpected.
Xiao Qian looked at everyone, "I'm being biased today, Gu Yan, I won't agree. There are many ways to solve this problem, it's not necessary to sacrifice my wife. Otherwise, if the news gets out, Xiao Qian sacrificed his own wife for the company's money, where can I put my face? Can I still afford to stay in this imperial city?"
Xiao Qian paused for a moment and said calmly, "In short, I'll take care of this matter. Jiang Xiaoxun won't bring down the Xiao family; he's not capable of that yet. I can guarantee you that."
Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment no one could say anything.
As people left the conference room one after another, Xiao Qian looked at the last remaining investment bank director in the room.
"Wait a minute, I still have something to ask you," he said.
The investment bank's director finally stopped and closed the door after seeing that everyone had left, looking at Xiao Qian, "Director Xiao. Just now I was also forced to say so because I was in a meeting..."
"Don't be nervous." Xiao Qian's hands were clasped together as he looked at him, "Is it that someone has been secretly discussing with you about wanting to push someone out as a scapegoat?"
The investment bank's director looked at Xiao Qian with a slanted glance, his whole body trembling, "How is that possible..."
"I know you don't need to pretend with me, at this time you're also worried that you might be used as a scapegoat and kicked out, so three or five people looking for someone who doesn't please them think of secretly making a phone call to push this person out, it's also a way to protect yourself, I can understand."
The investment banker listened quietly, his mouth half open, unable to speak.
Xiao Qian said, "Just tell me, has anyone recently hinted to you in private or taken the initiative to find you and say some nonsense..."
The investment bank's director shook his head "How is it possible? No way, Director Xiao."
Xiao Qian blew gently on the tea leaves in front of him, "You're not saying... Did I get it wrong? Was this proposal actually your idea?"
The investment bank's director became excited upon hearing the words "How is that possible? It wasn't me, I've heard some things. We know we can't escape fines if we go to court, so we want to push one person forward and decide on a scapegoat early... then we won't have to worry anymore."
Xiao Qian furrowed his brow, but didn't blame them.
"Then who was it that hinted?"
He bowed his head and whispered a name.
Xiao Qian nodded silently.
He thought for a moment and then waved his hand to let him go first.
He then picked up the phone and dialed Gu Yu's number.
Gu Yu quickly picked up the phone, but the background was noisy, and it seemed she wasn't in the company.
"Where have you been?" Xiao Qian asked in a cold voice.
"What's the call for?" Gu Yan asked irritably.
"I wanted to tell you. I just found out that someone seems to be secretly suggesting that the management team work together to frame you as a scapegoat."
Gu Yan was taken aback and then said, "You mean to say that this person is very likely to be the internal traitor!"
"That's right, at least they can't get rid of each other... But Gu Yu, where are you? Why is your voice so small?" Xiao Qian frowned and asked in a bad tone.
Gu Yu turned her head and looked at this bar room, blinking her eyes.
Before he could speak, Lin Wan, who was drinking with his legs raised, shouted, "Gu Yu, you said you came to drink with me, why are you talking on the phone instead of drinking? Hurry up and hang up!"
Gu Yu thought it was too late to cover Lin Wan's mouth. Over the phone, Xiao Qian's furious voice immediately came over.
"Gu Yan, where have you gone and died again? Are you drinking? You're drinking?"
By the way, I'll update another chapter this afternoon. It's the last day now, and the monthly ticket is ranked 11th, it's about to enter the top ten, but I'm dragging my tail, neither up nor down...
