Chapter 567 - 567 568 Asking for Help (7)_1
?Chapter 567: Chapter 568: Asking for Help (7)_1 Chapter 567: Chapter 568: Asking for Help (7)_1 She was too busy with work at the time to check carefully, so… it was highly likely that she made a counting error.
There’s a massive difference of nine million between one million and ten million, resulting in a nine million loss for the company. How could she, a mere office worker, ever repay it? She may even end up in jail for negligence.
Mr. Chen’s secretary’s face turned even more unsightly. She raised her head and said to Mr. Chen, “Indeed, you asked me to handle this task, but I delegated it to Jing Haohao.”
After finishing her sentence, the secretary turned her head, her voice slightly frantic, and addressed Jing Haohao: “I told you several times that it was one million, one million. How could you write it down as ten million? Now that such a huge problem has arisen, what are you going to do?”
The contract was indeed filled out and printed by Jing Haohao. She had asked the secretary what the amount was, and the secretary clearly told her that it was ten million. She had even specifically repeated that it was ten million, and the secretary had nodded, affirming it.
Jing Haohao’s eyes widened immediately, and she instinctively opened her mouth to explain, “You told me it was ten million.”
“When did I tell you it was ten million?” The secretary was extremely nervous deep down, but she maintained an air of calm on the surface. She slightly turned her computer and pointed at the screen, saying to Jing Haohao, “Mr. Chen’s email clearly stated one million. I told you it was one million. Were you not paying attention when you were filling out the contract, and added an extra zero?”
“I didn’t make a mistake. I asked you twice, and both times you told me it was ten million.” Jing Haohao thought for a moment, turned her head, and looked at a junior assistant in front of her, “Su Su, did you hear that? Secretary Zhang told me it was indeed ten million.”
Su Su glanced at Jing Haohao, then at Mr. Chen’s secretary, but in the end, she just shook her head and said, “I was very busy at the time and didn’t notice what you two were discussing.”
In such a dispute, no one wanted to intervene. Most people just wanted to keep as far away as possible.
Upon hearing Su Su’s words, Mr. Chen’s secretary let out a sigh of relief in secret. Although she knew deep down that Jing Haohao was innocent, both the huge sum of nine million and the threat of jail were unbearable prospects to her.
Therefore, she could only say sorry to Jing Haohao in her mind and let her take the blame.
Mr. Chen’s secretary tried to keep her composure and said to Mr. Chen, “Mr. Chen, I have been working with you for many years without making any mistakes. Yesterday, you assigned me a lot of tasks, which I then delegated to my subordinates. Jing Haohao has been at the company for almost two months, and she performed very well in every task. So I found her reliable and assigned the task to her, but I didn’t expect such a huge mistake to happen.”
The secretary’s words were well articulated – praising Jing Haohao and showing her high regard for Jing Haohao, while also placing all the blame on Jing Haohao.
Mr. Chen frowned slightly and looked at Jing Haohao, “The contract was printed by you? The amount was filled by you?”
Jing Haohao looked at Mr. Chen, wanted to explain for herself, but she found that her defenses were feeble.
Mr. Chen’s secretary just verbally told her the amount, and there was no email or message as evidence.
Moreover, the contract was indeed filled and printed by her.
