Chapter 1474 Carrying the Traitor Through to the End

Today, Qu Qingyou was driving for Li Ye. When he saw Feng Shuyun waving vigorously by the roadside, he immediately recognized her.

So he said to Li Ye, "Those are my colleagues from the company, probably from the office building construction team. Should we stop?"

Is she trying to hitch a ride?

Li Ye found it rather strange. Logically speaking, everyone in the workplace knows their limits. She's not some fairy from decades later who would want to hitch a ride with anyone.

"Stop the car and ask! Maybe something's wrong?"

Qu Qingyou stopped the car and rolled down the front window.

Feng Shuyun immediately ran over and said, "I need to see General Manager Li. I have something urgent to report."

Qu Qingyou turned his head slightly to look at Li Ye in the back row.

Li Ye said, "Let's talk at the company! It's just a short walk away."

However, Feng Shuyun immediately said, "No, this matter involves the deputy general manager and the office building project. I can only flag down a car on the roadside. I'm really sorry."

Li Ye thought for a moment, then pointed to the breakfast shop not far away: "Let's talk over there!"

Feng Shuyun glanced at the breakfast shop and hesitated before saying, "Could we find a quieter place? I'm afraid of running into my colleagues."

Li Ye narrowed his eyes and carefully observed Feng Shuyun.

Li Ye didn't want Feng Shuyun to get on the bus. It wasn't that he looked down on her; he had just seen too many of the actions of those "little fairies" decades later, and it was purely out of personal caution.

The car is so cramped, what if he bumps into someone? There are plenty of people in the company who want Li Ye dead right now, so it's not impossible that he might cause some trouble.

However, after carefully observing Feng Shuyun's micro-expressions, Li Ye realized that he had misunderstood.

Feng Shuyun was simply afraid of running into her colleagues at the breakfast shop and having them expose her treacherous behavior.

She's from Jin Hong's group, and now she's come to see Li Ye alone. If people see this, won't she make things difficult for him?

Li Ye got out of the car and said to Qu Qingyou, "Drive around the area ahead yourself, then pick me up at the park to the north later."

Qu Qing nodded and drove away.

The park to the north has a nice environment. Although it's secluded, there are elderly people doing their morning exercises, making it a good place to whisper sweet nothings.

After Li Ye and Feng Shuyun arrived at the park, Feng Shuyun quickly recounted what had happened the previous night.

"General Manager Li, I strongly protested at the time and stated that I should communicate with you and obtain your consent before drafting the contract."
However, the general manager did not adopt my opinion, locked up the contract after it was drafted, and even made me lie to others, saying that the contract had not been drafted yet.”

"However, I added a sentence in an inconspicuous place: if the contractor breaches the contract, they will be required to compensate the client for double the losses."

After listening to Feng Shuyun's account, Li Ye calmly asked, "Didn't you say that all the contract terms were written under Jin Hong's watchful eye? Then why did you risk adding that sentence?"

Feng Shuyun opened her mouth, then said helplessly, "Because when I was at Southwest Heavy Truck, many similar things happened; eight out of ten times it was a breach of contract."

After breaching the contract, someone has to take responsibility. I was really forced into this situation, and I feel it's unfair to make me take the blame.

Li Ye was a little puzzled: "According to you, the person in charge of signing and stamping the contract will be responsible! It has nothing to do with you, the one who drafted the contract, right?"

Feng Shuyun smiled bitterly: "President Li, I don't know what your previous company was like, but at Southwest Heavy Truck, the higher-ups are irresponsible."
Responsibility simply shifts downwards, from upper management to middle management, and from middle management to lower management. Only the lowest-ranking clerks are deemed utterly unforgivable.

"."

Listening to Feng Shuyun's account, Li Ye felt as if she were a flying insect caught in a spider's web, watching as the spider opened its bloody maw at her, unable to escape her fate of death no matter how much she struggled.

Even someone like Feng Shuyun, who has been working for two or three years, knows that "eight out of ten people breach contracts." So, did Jin Hong not know? Did Shang Bin not know?

Of course they knew, they had just arranged for Feng Shuyun to be the scapegoat. Li Ye had once heard someone say that a general leading troops on the battlefield sometimes has to consider who should die, and a manager running a company also has to consider who should suffer.

That's a damn fallacy.

Li Ye thought for a moment, then said to Feng Shuyun in a deep voice, "Just pretend this never happened. You didn't see me this morning."

Feng Shuyun was stunned.

She mustered all her courage and "surrendered" to Li Ye as a "traitor," only to be ignored by him. Those who haven't experienced this feeling can't understand it.

However, Li Ye then added, "If there is a breach of contract in the future, I will help you explain. It's ridiculous to make a clerk take responsibility."

"."

Feng Shuyun seemed to understand why Li Ye was so popular among the lower-level workers, but she still didn't understand why Li Ye pretended not to know when she had explained the contract clearly.
However, Feng Shuyun found out two days later.

Li Ye received a notice that he would be going to D School for two weeks of intensive training.

The news spread rapidly throughout the entire group headquarters.

Li Ye served as deputy general manager while holding the title of "actor." Everyone knew that this "actor" title would eventually have to be removed, and his intensive training at D School was the most obvious sign of this.

And this isn't just about the title; after returning from D school, he'll likely be able to reach the provincial-level position in a year or two at most.

Li Ye is about to achieve a goal that many people spend their entire lives trying to reach.

Immediately, discussions about Li Ye flooded the internet, but the most prevalent one was—【This is absolutely outrageous! They didn't even have time to start a fire before it was done!】

Feng Shuyun, however, held a different view than others.

Jin Hong locked the contract away, waiting for Li Ye to go to D School for further studies to sign it. Since Li Ye wasn't home, it was only natural that he didn't need to be present when signing the contract.

Since Li Ye went to study at D school, he naturally had no responsibility to bear, which is why he told Feng Shuyun, "Just pretend you didn't see me this morning."

Sigh, even he can't change the established practice?

The reason why Southwest Heavy Truck defaults eight out of ten times is because there are precedents and precedents. It has become a routine to make up for the losses after defaulting. If you, Li Ye, object, you will block everyone's path to wealth.
What good would it do for you, Li Ye?
Feng Shuyun understood these principles, but she still felt a deep sense of loss.

When wicked and ruthless villains are everywhere, where can one find a wise ruler?
And Li Ye's statement that he would back him up was just empty talk.
When it was time to leave work, Feng Shuyun quietly packed her things and went home.

Then she suddenly felt someone touch her. When she looked up, she saw that it was Li Ye's assistant, Zhou Ziqing.

"Mr. Li is going to a two-week intensive training program. If there's anything about the project, you can contact me."

Feng Shuyun was stunned for a long time before she asked weakly, "Did President Li ask you to notify me?"

Zhou Ziqing did not answer directly, but said calmly, "President Li said that to eradicate evil, there must be factual evidence, otherwise it will only be scratching the surface and will not achieve anything."

"."

Feng Shuyun finally understood where Li Ye's "bad reputation" came from.

He really intends to send those people in to eat cornbread?

However, Feng Shuyun immediately felt excited again.

Let me light the fire that you can't reach!

　I fell asleep at my computer desk last night and only finished writing this morning after returning from the hospital.
