All eyes turned to Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue felt a little nervous, but this time she didn't panic.
"Su Yingxue."
Jiang Tiansheng spoke again.
Su Yingxue stepped out of the line.
"On behalf of the entire company, I apologize to you for the injustice and unfair treatment you have suffered."
Jiang Tiansheng bowed slightly and said, "I hope this incident will not affect you. Please continue to work for the company and realize your self-worth. The company will also give you more opportunities to showcase yourself."
"Thank you, Chairman!"
Su Yingxue took a deep breath, her voice calm. "Thank you, Chairman, for restoring my justice. I believe Huancai will become better."
Jiang Tiansheng smiled. "Huancai needs fresh blood like you, and talented newcomers like you. I hope to see you bring more surprises."
Then, he turned to all the employees and said, "I solemnly declare to all of you here that any talented employee will be given opportunities and treated fairly."
"At the same time, I hope you will take this incident as a warning. The company treats all employees equally, but it will not tolerate anyone using sinister means to frame colleagues and damage the company's atmosphere. Those who are driven by self-interest and harm the group will be dealt with mercilessly once discovered!"
All the employees felt a chill in their hearts.
However, from this somewhat perfunctory conversation, it could also be seen that the relationship between Jiang Tiansheng and Su Yingxue was not very close.
This made many people even more curious about Su Yingxue's background.
No one was a fool. The chairman had acted so decisively and made such a big fuss; could Su Yingxue's identity be simple?
Cao Yun, who was being escorted away by security guards, could hardly believe her eyes.
She looked dejected, a stark contrast to Su Yingxue, who was being personally apologized to and encouraged by the chairman.
She couldn't understand how Su Yingxue had such powerful connections to have alarmed the chairman in less than an hour!
It was as surreal and unbelievable as Lin Dongwen's sudden change of attitude.
If she had known it would turn out this way, she would never have agreed to Su Yingxia's plan to target Su Yingxue.
But now, it was too late for regret.
Her face was as pale as paper, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
"That's all for today. You can all go home now!"
Jiang Tiansheng had no interest in continuing the speech.
Huancai Apparel was not that important among his businesses.
The crowd began to disperse.
Feeling the strange, even resentful glances, Cao Yun fell into a complete panic.
Once this special meeting ended, the matter would be settled, and her fate would be difficult to change.
"Chairman, I'm not convinced!"
Sweat beaded on her forehead, Cao Yun gritted her teeth and shouted.
She still hadn't given up.
Not only would she be fired, but she would also go to jail. She had to try to save herself, to struggle in her final moments.
Jiang Tiansheng glanced at Cao Yun, and a hint of annoyance appeared on his calm and indifferent face.
This foolish woman had almost ruined Mr. Chen's affairs and displeased Mr. Chen.
"Clearly, Su Yingxue stole my design. Chairman, why do you insist that I stole hers?"
Cao Yun, disregarding everything, argued, "She's just a newcomer. What evidence do you have that I stole her work?"
The employees who were about to leave also stopped to watch.
"Evidence?"
Jiang Tiansheng sneered. "I've already had someone retrieve the surveillance footage from the office area. Do you still want to quibble?"
Cao Yun's body trembled upon hearing this, her eyes becoming panicked and uneasy.
She had stolen Su Yingxue's design on impulse, without much thought.
She never expected that the office surveillance cameras would capture it.
This one piece of evidence was enough to convict her.
"This is impossible..."
Cao Yun said with great difficulty, "I didn't do anything!"
"Still daring to be stubborn?"
Jiang Tiansheng ordered his subordinate, "Since she shows no remorse, take her to see the surveillance footage, and then hand her over to the police."
Cao Yun finally broke down and knelt on the ground with a thud. "Chairman, I was just temporarily confused. Please, for the sake of my three years of hard work for the company, don't hand me over to the police. I... I don't want to go to jail!"
The crowd erupted in a stir.
At this moment, the truth was finally revealed, and it was indeed Cao Yun who had framed Su Yingxue.
Yu Sihai and the directors who had lost their positions looked as if they could spit fire, filled with hatred for Cao Yun.
This woman was truly troublesome; she had caused them so much suffering.
If it weren't for Chairman Jiang Tiansheng being present, they would have rushed forward to slap Cao Yun.
In the crowd, Luo Di's back was drenched in cold sweat, and he kept swallowing.
Cao Yun was finished, and he was relatively lucky to not have been exposed yet.
But undoubtedly, he was extremely terrified at this moment.
Jiang Tiansheng, too lazy to listen to Cao Yun's rambling, waved his hand, signaling the security guards to take her away.
Cao Yun completely collapsed, her composure gone. She slumped to the ground, dragged by the security guards into the company's security department.
"No, no... Chairman, I want to report something. I wasn't the only one involved in this. Luo Di was also a participant..."
Swish! Everyone in the planning department turned their heads to look at Luo Di.
Luo Di's face turned ashen. He wished he could strangle Cao Yun to death to silence her.
"I..."
"Investigate thoroughly!"
Jiang Tiansheng, having no interest in personally handling the case, instructed the director of the security department.
Thus, Luo Di was also escorted away.
With a deathly pale face, he looked despairing.
Of course, he wouldn't go to jail like Cao Yun, but his job was clearly lost, and he was not much better off.
Jiang Tiansheng, too lazy to look at these people any further, beckoned to Sun Lin.
Sun Lin quickly went over.
"Sun Lin, you are a veteran of the company, and your appointment as Director of the Planning Department is well-deserved. In the future, please guide Ms. Su well and teach her more."
Jiang Tiansheng instructed.
Sun Lin was a bit proud, but she wouldn't show it in front of Jiang Tiansheng. She nodded and said, "Don't worry, Chairman. I will do my best to guide her."
Her heart was also stirred by a huge wave.
Even Jiang Tiansheng, the chairman, had deliberately addressed Su Yingxue as Ms. Su at this moment?
What was Su Yingxue's background?
Jiang Tiansheng nodded in satisfaction and then said to Su Yingxue, "Ms. Su, please extend my regards to Mr. Chen."
Su Yingxue nodded earnestly and said, "Thank you, Chairman."
Only then did Jiang Tiansheng turn and leave.
"Sister Sun, you will be my mentor from now on. Please criticize me if I do anything wrong."
Su Yingxue said respectfully to Sun Lin, her attitude very good, without any hint of superiority.
Sun Lin nodded and didn't ask further. "It's time to get off work. Come to the company early tomorrow, and we'll handle the handover together."
"Okay, mentor!"
Su Yingxue readily agreed.
After Sun Lin returned to the company building, Su Yingxue turned to get into her car.
Sitting next to Nannan, Su Yingxue smiled and said, "Brother Chen, you've helped me solve another big problem. Saying thank you feels too formal. I will always remember this."
Chen Fan, though watching from afar, had a general understanding of the situation.
He said, "It's just a small matter, don't take it to heart. Just cook me a good meal."
"Okay."
Su Yingxue smiled generously. "The day after tomorrow is the weekend. I'll cook you some of my signature dishes."
The atmosphere was pleasant, but Chen Fan couldn't help but think of the "him" who stood between him and Su Yingxue.
However, once Su Yingxue grew stronger, he would feel more at ease when he left, right?
