Chapter 184: Tang Jie’er’s Sophistry 3
The Tang father and daughter had a conflict, and two directors offered advice.
“Chairman Tang, the truth is out now, please don’t blame Jie’er anymore.”
“Yes, we’ve all seen Jie’er’s efforts.”
“The company is so large, with many employees hired, it’s inevitable that a few have ill intentions.”
“Jie’er never expected someone would damage the company’s interests and reputation out of jealousy and hatred.”
“Chairman Tang, that’s enough, for our sake, please don’t make things difficult for Jie’er anymore!”
…
The two director uncles pleaded for her one after another, but Tang Jie’er still looked wronged. She secretly glanced at her father from the corner of her eye, hoping he would heed their advice and not continue the investigation.
Chairman Tang remained silent, as did Lu Ziyi, who had pointed out that Ye Chuxiao’s design drawings were swapped.
Tang Hong and Lu Ziyi both wore solemn and stern expressions.
Ye Chuxiao understood the whole story, but she had no standing to say anything; this was an internal matter for the Tang Group.
“Alright,” Tang Hong’s tone softened, as if he were about to conclude the matter.
Tang Jie’er breathed a sigh of relief. Her father had finally given up. With Xiao Yi as the scapegoat, this matter would pass. Otherwise, it would not only be a stain on her career but also make her extremely embarrassed in front of Lu Ziyi.
However, Tang Hong continued, “Since no one opened Jie’er’s shoulder bag, I will open it myself.”
“Dad… Daddy!” Tang Jie’er suddenly became nervous, instinctively clutching her shoulder bag protectively!
“Jie’er,” Tang Hong’s tone was gentle, with no intention of scolding Tang Jie’er, “Let Dad inspect your shoulder bag. If I have wrongly accused you, I will apologize to you. But if I haven’t, you need to reflect carefully!”
Tang Jie’er seemed very disappointed. She stopped resisting and handed her shoulder bag towards her father, saying coldly, “Then please inspect it. Regardless of whether Ye Chuxiao’s design drawings are in the bag, your actions, Father, have deeply hurt me!”
Tang Hong still insisted on opening Tang Jie’er’s shoulder bag, and from it, he took out the original draft that Tang Jie’er had folded twice!
Tang Hong showed no change in expression, but gasps of shock could be heard all around!
It turned out that the eldest daughter of the Tang family had lied! Not only had she swapped Ye Chuxiao’s design drawings, but she had also used Xiao Yi to take the blame for her!
The situation seemed clear, yet Tang Jie’er shrieked, “Xiao Yi, you actually put the design drawings in my shoulder bag to frame me! What are your intentions? To ruin my image at Tang Group?! Are you a commercial spy?!”
“No, no, no…” Xiao Yi became even more panicked. It was already terrible enough that Miss Tang had falsely accused her of secretly being in love with Consultant Lu. If she were branded a commercial spy, she would have no way to survive.
Tang Hong ignored his daughter’s words and calmly said, “Xiao Yi, Jie’er, both of you write the words ‘Ye Chuxiao’ on this piece of paper. Secretary Gu, please send all this information to the experts for handwriting analysis later.”
“Yes, yes, yes…” Xiao Yi quickly took a black marker pen. Her right hand trembled, but she eagerly wrote the three words “Ye Chuxiao” on the white paper. This was her last chance to clear her name. Otherwise, if Tang Group considered her a commercial spy, she would go to jail!
However, Tang Jie’er crossed her arms, looking resentful and uncooperative.
Tang Hong said without mercy, “Jie’er, you write it too.”
“Father,” Tang Jie’er roared, “Why are you targeting me?!”
