Chapter Fourteen: Good Employees

  "I, Duan Jiye, have been with the company for nearly 20 years, from a young age. I've worked my way up from being a security guard to becoming the head of security, earning a high salary that many people envy. I've seen the company grow from a small factory to a large conglomerate, and I've grown alongside it. The pride of Ming Hua is my pride too! I've always been loyal to the company, so how can you not trust me? Is my word not as trustworthy as this woman who only joined the company through connections a few years ago? General Manager, do you really not trust me?"

  As soon as this was said, everyone couldn't help but be moved to emotion, looking at him with reddened eyes, as if he had suffered a great insult, and one by one they sighed in sympathy, temporarily standing on his side emotionally.

  He is also a person who is good at grasping opportunities, otherwise he would not have been able to do the job of head of the security department of the Minghua Group for so many years. It's just that there are few opportunities in the security department and no outstanding performance opportunities, and it has little to do with the company's operations and development. Generally, being a head of security is already the highest position one can reach.

  Now because of this incident, it has attracted the attention of the general manager himself, and naturally he wants to seize the opportunity to show his achievements. Anyway, he is already in an invincible position.

  More importantly, he now deeply understands that having offended the Dong family, he can only find opportunities to make the general manager value himself in order to protect himself. Otherwise, the Dong family's backstage can collect him at any time. Only with the support of Minghua Group can he turn danger into safety.

  Qiao Yun was also moved by his somewhat sentimental words, looking at Duan Jiye in front of her, vaguely recalling her childhood, when the Minghua Group was still a small factory, she often played at the factory gate, and this Director Duan seemed to have played with her before. At that time, Director Duan was just a small security guard, seemingly very young, who would have thought that so many years had passed in the blink of an eye.

  "What's wrong with you, Duan? Who are you yelling at?" Dong Jiayun had had enough and started shouting back.

  Duan Jiye glared and shouted, "You're the one I'm scolding, Dong! You dare to claim you didn't make the first move against Deputy Director Lin?" He planned to solidify Dong Jiaoyun's guilt before speaking, thinking that the greater the humiliation he suffered, the greater his revenge would be.

  Dong Jiayun suddenly felt a bit short of breath, and in fact she had regretted the words as soon as they came out of her mouth. She thought to herself that it seemed like she was the one who had taken the initiative to act first. But she couldn't bear the provocative words of Duan Jiyeh, this old sly fox in the workplace. How could she back down and hit her own face? Anyway, when the time came, she would just deny everything to the death. So, stiffening her neck, she said stubbornly: "There's nothing if I say there's nothing, can you reason with me by framing someone?"

  Duan Jiye appeared to be furious, but in his heart he was coldly laughing. He had grasped the nature of this despicable person and, as expected, the man had fallen for his provocation hook, line and sinker. The outcome was already certain.

  Dong Jiayun, this woman who relies on her backstage support, how can she be a match for Duan Jiyeh, this unshakeable figure in the workplace, even if it's just as the head of the security department.

  Qiao Yun's feelings towards Duan Jiye had changed at this point, although her tone was still cold and icy, but her voice had softened a lot: "Director Duan, you are an old employee of the company, we can't just determine someone's guilt based on one person's words, there must be evidence."

  Duan Jiye pondered for a moment before saying: "At that time, many guards in the great hall witnessed the whole thing with their own eyes..."

  Before he could finish speaking, Dong Jiayun immediately shouted: "No way, those are your subordinates, they're on the same side as you, of course they'll speak in your favor."

  Qiao Yun gave her a cold glance, wanting to ask, where did the nobility you usually pretend to have go? She frowned and said: "Director Duan, I remember there are surveillance cameras in the hall, right?"

  Dong Jiayun's face changed upon hearing this, and her heart cooled down by half. How could she have forgotten about the surveillance? While others' testimonies can be considered lies, it's not possible to say that the surveillance video is also lying!

  But Duan Jiye didn't seem to be in a hurry to take out the iron evidence, and instead muttered: "At that time, the monitoring system in the hall had some problems, I'm afraid it wasn't captured."

  That's the power of an old oil slick, called "retreating to advance", first clearing himself of any possibility of getting his hands and feet dirty, then making a decisive move to win cleanly.

  As soon as she heard this, the stone in Dong Jiayun's heart fell to the ground. It seemed that even the heavens were helping her. The monitor didn't break down early or late, but just at this time. But she didn't think that if the monitor really broke down, wouldn't it mean that Deputy Director Lin had a reason to investigate security risks? Her intelligence was indeed no match for the joint efforts of the two directors of the Security Department.

  "Don't be so rash, go check the surveillance room first to see if anything was caught on camera before saying anything!" Qiao Yun threw out a sentence and turned around to leave.

  A group of people immediately came out and walked towards the monitoring room. Duan Jiye quickly ran to the front, playing the role of an old ox, leading the way for the general manager.

  After arriving at the monitoring room, Duan Jiye ordered his subordinates to immediately retrieve the surveillance video of the hall from that morning. The result was a snowy screen with nothing visible.

  Since there was no evidence, Dong Jiayun's heart finally put down and immediately said: "General Manager, the people in the security department are not trustworthy. I still have two duty personnel at the customer service front desk of the general affairs department, you can ask them about what happened."

  This sentence suddenly offended everyone in the security department, and the security guard who was operating the monitor was so angry that he quickly sped up the fast-forwarding speed. Suddenly, a clear video image jumped out on the snowy screen.

  Everyone's eyes lit up, and the scene on the screen was exactly where Dong Jiayun walked to the customer service front desk and said something to Lin Zixian. Duan Jiyeh seemed to be introducing in between, Lin Zixian immediately stood up with a smile all over his face, stretching out his hand to shake hands with Dong Jiayun, but Dong Jiayun had an aloof expression, not even extending her hand.

  On one screen, four different angles of the scene are displayed simultaneously, and the changes in the expressions of each character can be seen roughly.

  Later, Lin Zi Xian seemed to be telling Dong Jia Yun something very seriously, and everyone guessed that it might be about safety inspections. However, Dong Jia Yun seemed completely uninterested and even became angry and humiliated afterwards.

  In a moment, Lin Zixian casually beckoned with his hand, and several security guards immediately surrounded Dong Jiayun, seemingly asking her to step aside and cooperate. But just then, something unexpected happened - Dong Jiayun suddenly went crazy, baring her teeth and pouncing on Lin Zixian like a madwoman.

  But Lin Zi was not polite at all, and quickly took out an electric baton to defend himself, directly electrocuting Dong Jiayun, who was then dragged away by the five security guards. The scene lost a few people's shadows, leaving only two customer service staff with terrified faces.

  Everyone is clear about what happened here, and they all look at Dong Jiayun with some disgust. Obviously, she was the one who started it like a shrew, and others were just defending themselves. But this woman's character has reached an extreme point, and she actually lies with her eyes open, framing an innocent man and a company's old employee to the point of tears.

  At this time, Dong Jiayun herself was so ashamed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to drill into. She couldn't understand how this could happen. Wasn't the monitor broken? Why did it suddenly work again?

  "Heaven has eyes, otherwise I, Duan, would have jumped into the Yellow River and still couldn't wash myself clean." Duan Jiye sighed to the sky.

  Qiao Yun's icy face became even more indifferent, cold to the point where no expression could be seen, and she slowly said without turning her head: "Director Dong, do you have anything else to say? I think it would be best if you gave Director Duan, me, and the company a reasonable explanation." As if not wanting to see Dong Jiayun's ugly face again, which was also too humiliating for women.

  At this moment, some security guards appeared on the scene, and they were indeed conducting safety checks at the customer service front desk. A group of security guards had a very serious attitude towards their work. Under Duan Jiye's command, someone even crawled under the front desk with a small flashlight in his mouth, apparently checking some wiring. Each and every one of them was extremely dedicated to their job, making people admire the Security Department as a team of diligent employees.

  "General manager, this video doesn't prove anything at all." Dong Jiayun shouted unwillingly.

  Qiao Yun suddenly turned around, her eyes cold and straight: "Then what can your words explain? Director Dong, the Minghua Group cannot accommodate a great god like you, please leave!" This was equivalent to firing him.

  Dong Jiayun was so angry that her whole body was shaking, pointing at Qiao Yun viciously and saying: "You Qiaos, you're ganging up to bully me... I'm not that easy to bully either, just wait and see." After finishing speaking, she stormed out directly.

  Just then, a loud voice suddenly came from outside, shouting: "Who is it? Who is it? Who let this shrew out? Damn! Dare to scold our security department as a gatekeeper dog, I'll lock her up for eternity. Come on, catch him!"

  Right after that, Dong Jiayun's voice came again, crying and shouting in a hoarse voice, "Lin, you will not die well..."

  Everyone in the monitoring room looked at each other, vaguely guessing what was going on, and estimated that the two enemies in the video had met. Duan Jiye was sweating profusely, wondering why Lin, the deputy minister, didn't come earlier or later, but happened to return at this time.

  Qiao Yunjing listened for a while, then walked to Duan Jiyeh's side and rarely took the initiative to stretch out his hand: "Director Duan, I'm sorry."

  Duan Jiye grasped her hand, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "General Manager, it's nothing, as long as things are clear, I've been standing guard for the Minghua Group for so many years, and I'm used to cold ridicule and hot criticism. As long as General Manager still believes in me, Old Duan, this little grievance doesn't matter."

  Qiao Yun pursed her lips, shook his hand hard and said: "Director Duan, take good care of yourself. The Minghua Group still needs you to stand guard, the company will not forget those diligent old employees who accompanied the company's growth. I'll come visit you again when I have time."
