Chapter 1492: Chapter 1490: Ungrateful Betrayal

Corporate espionage!

The crowd went into an uproar, looking at both of them in disbelief.

Both of them paled drastically.

"You... what are you talking about!" The manager from the planning department looked at Chen Siyan in horror, his face turning ashen.

Chen Siyan let out a cold laugh, "My employees can make mistakes because no one ever said that humans can’t make mistakes! Mistakes aren’t scary; what’s scary is refusing to acknowledge them and still thinking you’re right. What’s even scarier is not knowing how to repent and making nonsensical arguments! But you, your mistake isn’t just a job error, it’s a matter of your heart!"

"My heart has a problem? This is slander; you’re framing me! You want to cast me in a bad light and put this blame on me—I won’t accept it!" The planning department manager was furious.

"Hmph!" Watching Manager Li from the planning department hopping mad, Chen Siyan snorted disdainfully.

"Director Wang, do you have anything to say?" Chen Siyan looked at Director Wang from the execution department and asked.

Being addressed by name, Director Wang shivered in fear.

He had been scared stiff ever since Chen Siyan revealed their identities.

He thought they had been secretive enough, but never expected that Chen Siyan could identify them immediately.

This filled him with panic.

Now, with Chen Siyan calling by name, he was so scared he almost screamed.

"I, what do you want me to say?" Director Wang’s voice trembled.

"As an execution director, do you have nothing to say? Didn’t you claim this failure wasn’t your fault? But why do I think it’s precisely your problem? It’s not about right or wrong, given that you’re not wholeheartedly working for Shangdong Group. If you were truly focused, completed this task, then it would mean you took money from others and didn’t do the job!" Chen Siyan mocked.

"I... I didn’t! It wasn’t me!" Director Wang shook his head consistently, completely losing his composure.

Seeing this, Manager Li hurriedly shouted, "Old Wang! Don’t be afraid! She won’t dare do anything to us! She just wants to put this blame on us! I’m telling you, as long as I’m here, there’s no way!"

Upon hearing this, Director Wang regained some composure, not as fearful as before.

"Director Wang! Are you sure?" Chen Siyan asked again.

"Don’t ask me; I know nothing!" Director Wang replied directly.

"Very good!" Chen Siyan nodded while sneering, "I’ve already given you opportunities, but it’s a pity you didn’t cherish them! Secretary Liu!"

At this moment, Director Wang and Manager Li’s minds were already in a tumult, but they were still holding up substantially.

"Yes!" Secretary Liu stepped forward and took out his phone, saying, "Manager Li from the planning department and Director Wang from the execution department colluded with foreign merchants, were bribed, and sold the company’s confidential information, leading to the failure of this overseas project. Here is the recording of their conversation!"

After speaking, Secretary Liu clicked to play the recording.

Manager Li’s voice emerged from the phone.

"Old Wang! What are you afraid of? It’s all set; first, each of us gets five million, then after the task is done, another fifteen million per person! That’s twenty million in total! Twenty million! How long would you have to work at Shangdong Group to earn twenty million? As long as we two, you don’t speak, I don’t speak, and the guys overseas keep quiet, who would know about this? At most, it’s just the project falling apart! Even if we are the main responsible parties, so what? We’ll resign! Take the twenty million and live a carefree life; what’s the problem?"

Then Director Wang’s voice followed, "That’s easy to say, but I’m just worried about what if! If we get discovered, forget about getting money, we might even face a lawsuit!"

"Get a grip! Life or death—what are you afraid of! Just tell me if you want to do it or not! If you don’t, I’ll give you five million hush money, I’ll do it alone! Even if this gets discovered, it has nothing to do with you; you’ll still get five million. What do you say?"

"What nonsense you’re talking! Since you said you’re going to do it, how could I not!"

At this, the two voices ended.

The crowd was astonished.

They never thought these two would really betray Shangdong Group.

It’s known that Shangdong Group’s salary standards are among the highest nationwide, with generous base salaries and performance bonuses.

This is also why people have been constantly jumping ship to Shangdong Group.

These two took such favorable salaries, yet did something to betray the company!

Utterly outrageous!

The human resources director stepped forward, pointing at the two and scolding, "You two heartless beings! Totally ungrateful! You’re both wicked to the core! If it weren’t for the company’s rules against cursing, I’d curse your ancestors! You still think you don’t make enough here! Go out and see, does any other company offer higher base salaries than ours for the same position? Higher performance bonuses? More year-end dividends? You earn tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands annually from the company, yet do this—it’s absolutely... insane! Hoping you get hit by a car when you leave!"

Others also berated the two.

"Shameless! Backstabbing!"

"This project had ten billion in company investment! But it was sold off for forty million by them! Damn them!"

"People like this should never have a job again—beggars they should become!"

"Wish I could go up there and punch them!"

...

Amid the angry shouts, the two seemed like a lone boat in a stormy sea.

After a while, Chen Siyan reached out to quell the angry crowd.

"I want to ask, do you have anything to argue?" Chen Siyan asked.

Manager Li shook his head, shouting, "I’m not convinced! Our company has a broadcasting department; imitating someone’s voice is the simplest thing! You found someone to deliberately mimic the two of us, trying to frame us!"

Chen Siyan shook her head, thoroughly disappointed in them.

"Secretary Liu!" Chen Siyan sighed.

Secretary Liu nodded slightly, pulling out a remote control from his pocket, and switched on the display on the wall.

On the screen, appeared a scene of the two talking together.

The conversation took place in a secluded room, their speech and actions were clearly visible!

This surveillance footage matched the conversation in the previous recording.

With this, the two lost all hope!

Director Wang crumbled even further, collapsing to the ground, crying out, "CEO, spare me, please! I was forced into this! If I disagreed, Manager Li would surely kill me to silence me!"

"What are you talking about!" Manager Li yelled angrily.

"It’s all because of you!" Director Wang pointed at Manager Li, "You got enthralled, saw the foreign woman during a client meeting, drugged her and did the deed! Yet you fell into their trap, got videotaped, so you had to compromise! When you talked about money, you were just trying to drag me down as a scapegoat!"

"You called me a scapegoat? How did you accept the porcelain they gifted you? A few million worth, you dared to take it? If it wasn’t for that, would the client have asked me to keep an eye on you?"

The two completely broke down, accusing each other and uncovering each other’s scandals!
