“With your work experience in Kefeng Films, you don’t need to start from scratch if find a post at a new company. You should be able to get a position that is similar to your current one here,” Xu Dashi said calmly to Manager Liang. “You should know which option is more beneficial to you.”
“If we start an investigation to prove your innocence, it would inevitably leave a bad impression of you amongst the colleagues, just as you said. But, can the investigation really prove your innocence?” Tan Mo looked straight at Manager Liang as she asked.
Manager Liang’s heart skipped a beat. She felt that this little girl was very evil.
Tan Mo’s gaze seemed to be able to pierce through people’s hearts.
Manager Liang felt as if Tan Mo had completely seen through her.
Tan Mo pursed her lips slightly before curling it into a smirk. “If we really end up finding something, Manager Liang won’t even have a choice anymore.”
“Moreover, with all due respect, you have been in Kefeng Films for many years. Although the position you hold isn’t very high, there are still many things that can be used to your advantage,” said Tan Mo. .
Manager Liang looked at Tan Mo. .
Was this little girl really only nineteen years old?
Other nineteen-year-old girls were still happy-go-lucky college students that just entered their second year of University.
However, Tan Mo was already as shrewd as a 29-year-old.
“To put it simply, you are in charge of scheduling the broadcast. When is the prime period for dramas to begin broadcasting? Which drama should be aired first, and which one is to be suppressed… I believe that many shows has come to you for help frequently, right?” Tan Mo said with a smile.
How could a favor be done in vain?
After working in this position for so many years, how much bribes did Manager Liang receive?
“Once an investigation is launched, the investigation might not only focus on the matter of ‘Broken Continent’ and ‘Nine Heavens’,”Tan Mo reminded, “Everything you’ve done in the past will be implicated. It’s not like the company doesn’t know about the things you’ve done in the past. It’s just that it exists within the common unspoken rules of the industry. However, since it’s an unspoken rule, it’s a rule that no one knows about. Once it is backed up with evidence and proof, it won’t be tolerated by the rules.”
“Manager Liang, can you guarantee that everything you’ve done in the past is suitable to lay bare?” Tan Mo looked at Manager Liang, whose expression was getting uglier and uglier.
Manager Xu and Manager Wang were at the side. Even if Tan Mo wasn’t targeting them, they were sweating profusely.
The entire company, even the ordinary employees, couldn’t afford to go under scrutiny. Not to mention, Manager Liang.
As long as there was some power that could be used in the job, who hadn’t taken advantage of their position?
In the workplace, in society, and in interpersonal relationships. These were all necessary.
Manager Xu and Manager Wang were only glad that they had only made mistakes in their judgment on official matters. Unlike Manager Liang, who had done it for personal reasons.
Wei Zhiqian, Tan Mo, and Xu Dashi knew that these managers couldn’t afford to be investigated.
The only difference was the reason for their mistakes.
“Are you still not going to tell us?!” Xu Dashi said angrily.
There were only a few of them in the meeting room. They weren’t idiots.
Looking at Manager Liang’s expression, how could they not figure things out?
If an investigation was launched, even if they really couldn’t find out what happened this time, what about the previous ones? They would find out eventually.
As long as they gathered the slightest of evidence, they could conclude the investigation.
And Manager Liang would never be able to recover.
Manager Liang had also thought of this. She had never expected that she would lose her job this time simply because of a minor favor that she usually did.
Manager Liang clenched her hands and finally said, “I’ll tell.”
No one said anything.
Manager Liang looked up. Xu Dashi, Wei Zhiqian, and Tan Mo were all looking at her. Manager Xu and Manager Wang, who were sitting next to her, also turned over to look.
Although no one said anything, they were waiting for Manager Liang to speak.
“It’s Manager Wu,” Manager Liang said, “He asked me to schedule ‘Broken Continent’and ‘Nine Heavens’ together. He wanted ‘Broken Continent’ to be a foil to ‘Nine Heavens’ and be completely suppressed…”
“You agreed just because he said so?” Xu Dashi asked coldly. “When did you two become so close?”
Manager Liang replied, “My daughter went to primary school last year. It was especially difficult to get into that primary school. To enroll, you have to have a residential address in that school district area. Even with that, you will still need to queue up for a chance in the lottery system. We don’t have a house there, so I’m not even qualified to join the queue.”
The house in that school district was priced at 200,000 yuan per square meter. Even if they were to buy an old and dilapidated house, their family would have to sell the house they were living in to have the money to buy it.
“It was Manager Wu who helped my child get into that primary school,” Manager Liang said. “I owe Manager Wu a big favor. So as long as I can help, I can’t refuse.”
Xu Dashi didn’t ask her if she knew how much the company had lost because of her actions.
How could she not know?
Xu Dashi looked at Wei Zhiqian.
Manager Liang must have helped Manager Wu more than once.
If they were to look into the matter and investigate what she had done in the past, he didn’t know how much loss the company had suffered.
Although he had promised to allow Manager Liang to resign and wouldn’t expose her mistakes in the industry to delay her in finding another job, now it seemed that Manager Liang had made more than one mistake.
If he wanted to investigate her past, he might be able to find out many more serious mistakes she had committed.
When that time comes, he might not be able to fulfill his promise to allow Manager Liang to voluntarily resign.
Since Wei Zhiqian was here, Xu Dashi looked at Wei Zhiqian.
Wei Zhiqian looked at Tan Mo. “Mo Mo, you make the decision. This time, they have targeted your drama. It’s also because your drama had helped us expose Manager Liang’s actions. So, I’ve decided to leave it to you.”
What Wei Zhiqian didn’t say was that Tan Mo was his fiancée and would be his wife in the future. She is someone who was going to walk alongside him.
The wives of the heads of the eight great families were not only responsible for the internal affairs of the family.
There was no such archaic concept of the men handling the external matters while the women only handle the internal affairs.
For example, when Old Lady Wei was young, she would also participate in the family’s decision-making and the group’s decision-making.
Old Lady Han might seem to have a very good temper now, but when she was young, she had conquered the business world alongside Old Master Han.
It was the same for the other families.
Now, only Wei Mingwen was in the state of retirement.
When Wei Zhiqian had not taken over Wei Feng, Xiao Menghan and Wei Mingwen did not differentiate between internal and external affairs.
As the matriarch, if one did not build up their own reputation and momentum, it would be difficult to convince anyone in the family.
Back then, Xiao Menghan had personally used her identity as the matriarch of the Wei family to talk to the Qin family about Qin Murong’s matter. Dong Hanbi had also been able to deal with Qin Murong in a straightforward manner. No one within the Qin family, not even Qin Murong’s parents, dared to say anything.
It was all because they knew of Xiao Menghan and Dong Hanbi’s methods and did not dare to challenge them..
