“Is this the only thing you’ve been wrong about?” Fang Yuan’s gaze bore down on her with an overwhelming sense of weight.
He Jiahui’s eyes welled up with tears as fear clouded her memory of President Fang’s past actions. She stammered, “W-what else…”
Fang Yuan leaned in, his voice tinged with a chilling intensity, “Over the past few days, 1 accessed the company’s emails and recovered everything that was deleted. Can you guess what I found?”
He Jiahui’s realization dawned slowly amid her growing anxiety. She asked hesitantly, “W-what did you find?”
Fang Yuan’s demeanor abruptly shifted. “A total of sixty-two complaint letters, all penned by individuals who left the company in the past year!”
He Jiahui stood there in shock, and those around her were equally stunned. The sheer number was astonishing. It appeared that He Jiahui had wronged a multitude of people.
Fang Yuan’s tone turned icy as he accused, “You abused your authority and shielded colleagues who engaged in wrongdoing alongside you. You drove away those who refused to compromise their principles. The company has been hemorrhaging talent, and it’s all because of you!”
“President Fang, please allow me to explain. Those individuals didn’t cooperate with the company’s established system…” He Jiahui began, but Fang Yuan swiftly cut her off.
“At this juncture, you still wish to lay blame on them? You won’t stop until you’re faced with the consequences!” Fang Yuan retorted sharply.
“President Fang, it’s all my fault. Please grant me another chance!” He Jiahui implored desperately. “I will personally apologize to each of them.”
But Fang Yuan remained unmoved. He Jiahui’s voice faltered as she continued, “I will return all the salaries and bonuses the company awarded me within three days. Please, refrain from involving the authorities! If the police get involved, my life will be utterly ruined!”
Fang Yuan locked eyes with her and uttered each word deliberately, “Did you ever consider how you ruined the lives of those you coerced into leaving?”
He Jiahui could only manage a weak response, “President Fang…”
“Did you ever consider their feelings when you slandered them?” Fang Yuan’s gaze remained icy as it bore into the short-haired woman before her. “In those complaint letters, 1 also discovered that you resorted to leveraging your colleagues’ personal matters to intimidate them and extract evidence through extortion. The scale of your wrongdoings is significant. You will face punishment for multiple offenses, and you won’t escape without serving a three to five-year sentence.”
“President Fang…” Tears streamed down He Jiahui’s face, and she sobbed uncontrollably. “1 know I was wrong. Boohoo… I truly understand that now…” Fang Yuan’s response remained frigid, “It’s too late.”
Wang Ning had already notified the police, and they had arrived promptly. They inquired about the situation and confiscated relevant evidence. Their intention was to take He Jiahui into custody.
“President Fang, you are a compassionate person. Please let me go!” He Jiahui desperately clung to her last sliver of hope, disregarding her dignity as she pleaded with Fang Yuan. “President Fang, please grant me one more chance! 1 promise I won’t repeat my mistakes!”
Fang Yuan’s voice remained unyielding, “I’ve already given you a chance, and you didn’t value it.”
He Jiahui continued to beseech, “President Fang, President Fang…”
Outside, a commotion ensued as onlookers witnessed He Jiahui being apprehended.
“I never imagined Director He could be this malicious…”
“She even blackmailed her colleagues.”
“As expected, you can’t judge a book by its cover!”
“Have you finished enjoying the spectacle?” Fang Yuan’s voice suddenly pierced the air.
The onlookers outside had scattered, wisely choosing not to linger and gossip. It appeared that the newly appointed leader was not one to be trifled with.
Observing the emptying corridor, Wang Ning couldn’t resist pouring himself a cup of coffee before entering the office. “President Fang, if He Jiahui hadn’t come to see you, were you planning to let her off the hook?”
As Fang Yuan took a sip of coffee, Wang Ning pressed on, “She prepared quite an elaborate feast. If you were genuinely letting her go, wouldn’t you be going easy on her?”
Fang Yuan’s eyes exuded unwavering resolve. “Certainly not. She will come to me willingly.”
Wang Ning was taken aback. “How did you know that?”
“I’ve reviewed all the complaints, and it’s clear she’s the type to confront President Zhao over minor issues. This suggests she has a fiery temperament and can’t tolerate any grievances. I fired him, publicly humiliating her. She’ll undoubtedly seek retribution from me.”
Wang Ning had a sudden epiphany. “So, you were anticipating this and set the stage for her to fall into the trap? Regardless, you were always planning to involve the police!”
“Exactly.” Fang Yuan had no intention of letting her off lightly. She had committed serious misconduct, not only defrauding the company but also driving away valuable talent.
Sipping his coffee, Fang Yuan continued calmly, “In a company with such lax discipline this year, there are numerous issues that need addressing.”
Wang Ning’s admiration shone brightly in his eyes, as if he had met his idol. “So, those people eavesdropping at the door earlier were also part of your plan?” He couldn’t believe he had been pleading with them to leave, unknowingly playing into President Fang’s hands. Had he intentionally allowed them to overhear, planning to make an example of them?
Fang Yuan stated firmly, “This year, the company’s atmosphere has become too unruly. There are numerous aspects that require rectification. You may leave now!
Wang Ning replied, “Understood, President Fang! I am off!”
