Boss, do you want to order private service?

Opening his eyes early in the morning, Gao Hang looked around in a daze. The cramped space, the white and monotonous walls, and the simple and excessive decoration are all unsatisfactory, but fortunately, he has gotten used to it.

He casually put on a dressing gown and walked out of the room. When the people in the kitchen heard the movement, they turned their heads and smiled apologetically: "I got up late today, so I can only go downstairs to buy some breakfast, don't you mind?"

Shrugged, "You can decide, I have no objection." It was indeed a bit late last night, no wonder he looked sleepy.

After washing up, the "Four King Kongs" on the table have been laid out: flatbread, fried dough sticks, rice balls, and still warm soy milk, full of local flavor.Tear off a large pancake and stuff it into your mouth. It is loose and crispy, and the sweetness of the mouth is mixed with a touch of sesame. Sure enough, it is heartfelt satisfaction.

I miss the taste of this private order, and I am afraid of being disturbed by uninvited guests, so I simply stay with him occasionally, which can be called the best of both worlds.

The breakfast was coming to an end, Gao Hang looked at the table, there was a lot left, but he ate a lot!Stretched out two fingers to flick the cup, the sound of "dang" was pleasant, successfully attracting the person's attention.

"Tired? Poor appetite?"

The man shook his head: "No, I'm just a little sleepy. I'll just go out and blow some air to wake up."

"I'm too busy to sleep lately?" As he said, he stuffed half of a rice ball into his hand, and raised the other half to his mouth, "Eat more, to replenish your energy."

Submissively took it and bit his mouth, Xia Zhi smiled comfortably, "Those two projects are coming to an end, the quotation has been sent to the customer the day before yesterday, and we just wait for confirmation, these two days have been too busy to sleep."

Gao Hang chewed the rice ball and put his head on his hands and stared at that face for a long time, as if he wanted to gather some information from the Internet.For a long time, unhurriedly: "Still thinking about that? It's been so many days, isn't it calm? I think you are worrying unfoundedly."

Of course Xia Zhi knew what "that matter" he was referring to, and stared down at the rice ball, "I also hope that I was thinking too much, but I always feel that this is not his personality." A trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes, "No matter what How about it, it’s always right to be careful.” After hesitating for two seconds, I still said out the hidden worries in my heart: “You should also pay attention to safety recently, after all, you have had conflicts with him...” I am most afraid of getting you involved .

Picking up the cup and drank the remaining soy milk in one gulp, Gao Hang stood up with a look of disdain, "Such a useless playboy is worth your attention? If you say it like this, I really want to see what crap he can do!" Look at that man Still wanting to speak, he waved his hand, "It's getting late, eat quickly, I'm going to change clothes, I'm ready to go."

If there is anything unsatisfactory in the current daily life, it should be that Xia Zhi's home is indeed a little far away, and it takes more than half of the city to get to the company.But having said that, this wasn't a problem for Xia Zhi at first, in a city where the subway lines extend in all directions, no matter how far the distance is, it just means changing two more trains, but once Mr. Gao comes to visit, it will be a toss. . .In fact, Xia Zhi also thought about persuading him to give up self-driving and choose green travel, but every time he came, he didn't call in advance, and only called when he was on the elevated car, which really didn't give people a chance!

Sitting in the car and looking at the dark traffic, Xia Zhi could only sigh in his stomach, looking at the time, it was almost time, without any suspense, this month, he would add another one to his late record.

The phone vibrated, and seeing the caller ID, Xia Zhi was surprised, feeling a little uneasy in his heart: If there was nothing urgent, Ke Qifeng would not call him at this time.After picking up the phone and saying a few words, his face became serious, and he hung up the phone without saying a word.

"What's wrong?" Gao Hang realized that the atmosphere was not right.

Xia Zhi frowned: "There is a problem with the project."

The matter should be serious, so serious that Ke Qifeng forgot to be surprised when he saw those two people walking into the office together.

"Both customers canceled the order?" Xia Zhi felt unbelievable. He thought about it all the way, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.

Ke Qifeng leaned against the window and folded his arms, "It's not just about canceling the order, it's about canceling all cooperation!"

"What's the reason?" Gao Hang remained calm.

Ke Qifeng closed his eyes, as if he was trying his best to restrain himself, walked to the table, picked up two pages and threw them to the opposite side, "Look for yourself." The person who spoke was Xia Zhi.

Gao Hang had already picked it up first, glanced at it roughly, and a look of confusion appeared on his face, "Such an important project, isn't the quotation subject to your review and approval?"

Ke Qifeng spread his hands, his face full of helplessness: "I'm the one who reviewed it." He turned his face and gave the person diagonally opposite a meaningful look, "But it's not me who sent it!"

The meaning of these words is not difficult to understand, Xia Zhi's heart skipped a beat, grabbed the paper from the man's hand, read it carefully from beginning to end, with a face full of astonishment, "Do you suspect that I'm taking kickbacks?!"

"Where's the evidence?" Gao Hang's tone was already hesitant: according to his understanding of Ke Qifeng, he wouldn't make such a statement if there was no shadow of the matter.

Ke Qifeng threw over two more materials, and Xia Zhi hurriedly picked them up to read them. After a while, the expression on his face became even more shocked: "I didn't report this data! No, it should be said, I definitely didn't report this data! It has been tampered with!" Looking up at Ke Qifeng for verification, "Mr. Ke, the data I reported to you that day is definitely not like this, you know it!"

Gao Hang frowned more and more tightly: "What's going on?"

Ke Qifeng patted his forehead irritably, "As I said, it's good that you reported the data to me, but it wasn't me who sent it! I just checked the receipt in your computer, and the content and data are exactly the same as this one. How do you explain it?"

Xia Zhi was stunned for more than ten seconds, then ran out quickly.

Gao Hang rubbed his brows, he didn't seem to be able to fully digest all this, he pondered for a moment, "Is there any other evidence?"

Ke Qifeng sighed, "I have already contacted the domestic manufacturer to verify it. According to his quotation, it is impossible not to get a kickback, and the amount is quite high. I believe the manufacturer must also have dissatisfaction. After so many years of cooperation, if it is true , shouldn’t hide it from us.” After a pause, “It’s just that no matter what the result is, he is not suitable to stay in the company.”

After a period of empty silence, Gao Hang finally recovered his calm demeanor, and said in a calm tone, "Let him suspend his job now, and wait for the manufacturer to give feedback before making a decision." After speaking, he turned and opened the door, walking steadily as usual leave.

Xia Zhi didn't seem surprised when she received the suspension notice, it seemed that she had accepted the reality, silently packed her things and left.In the following situation, there was no reversal. In the afternoon, the manufacturer sent feedback: Xia Zhi did send them an email asking for a rebate, and promised that as long as the rebate was in place, he would definitely help them with this at a high price. one!But if there is an objection, there is a danger of being replaced.

At this point, even if the facts are clear and the evidence is solid, the answer should be obvious how to deal with it.However, such a simple decision has been "procrastinated", which has pushed Ke Qifeng, Xia Zhi's previous "protection/protection/umbrella" to the forefront, but only Ke Qifeng himself knows that he is taking the blame for others , It can be said that how wronged and wronged it is!Because as one of the main responsible persons, he has no say in this matter at all, and the person who is really in charge behind the scenes doesn't know what his thoughts are. . .

This state lasted for a week, and Ke Qifeng, whose back was about to be pierced, finally couldn't bear it and broke into the general manager's office.That person looked calm and relaxed, with an expression of "I knew you would be like this", which made the intruder who was in a hurry don't know where to start.

"Should there be a conclusion to Xia Zhi's matter?" After thinking about it, Ke Qifeng chose to cut to the chase.

The person on the opposite side withdrew his expression and looked at his fingers: "Isn't the conclusion already there?"

"Then it should be dealt with!" Ke Qifeng really didn't understand why he still had the mind to play such word games at this time.

Mr. Gao supported his head with one hand, showing a faint inexplicable face: "You are his immediate superior, how should I deal with it, should I not listen to your opinion?"

Ke Qifeng really wanted to spit a mouthful of old blood on his face: On this matter, can a person who treats a criminal have a clear position? ?Moreover, didn't I give my opinion on the day of the incident? "Xia Zhi, you can't stay in the company anymore!"

The man shrugged: "Is he in the company now?"

Ke Qifeng really had the urge to hit someone: "But this is not the final solution! You really don't know how the public opinion in the company is now? I don't want to take the blame anymore!" He paused, "Of course, we should I will not shirk my responsibility!"

Gao Hang opened the drawer, took out the cigarette case and threw it over, "Unzip."

Ke Qifeng: "..." In the end, he was not willing to accept his kindness, took out the root from the box, and was stunned, "There is no fire."

The man spread his hands, "I don't have one either, quit. Borrow one from outside?"

Ke Qifeng stuffed the cigarette back into the box and threw it back: "If you want to change the subject, just say it, why pretend to be generous?"

"He said he needs some time to prove himself!" Throwing the cigarette case back into the drawer, the man finally spoke seriously.

Ke Qifeng reacted for a while, "Did he tell you? When?"

"Two days ago." Not paying attention to the deep question in the other party's words, Gao Hang seemed to be answering a very ordinary question.

Ke Qifeng pondered for a while, "Do you believe him?"

"Didn't you support him at the beginning, how did you become a pig teammate now? Wouldn't it be in your best interest if he was fine?" A big truth.

Ke Qifeng scratched the back of his neck, "Can such an iron case be overturned? Besides, do you believe that he is innocent?" It was still the original question.

"You don't believe me?" Gao Hang replied with a similar question.

Ke Qifeng frowned for a long time, leaned back in his chair and sighed, and began to analyze.

The strange thing about this matter is that, on the one hand, there are many doubts, but on the other hand, there is sufficient evidence!

Although it is almost an unwritten rule to take kickbacks in this industry, such blatant and almost blackmailing behavior is really not normal, especially when one end is a customer who has not cooperated with him for a long time and has an unstable relationship. It is really puzzling for an old man who has been fighting for so many years to take such a risky move rashly.Of course, Ke Qifeng felt that the words should not be too harsh, "After all, desires are hard to fill, and if he has the idea of ​​revenge because of the past, it is not impossible."

Gao Hang nodded, "Continue."

Ke Qifeng rubbed his chin, "The client's reaction was not normal either, as if they had discussed it. It was almost a letter informing them of the termination of the cooperation. It was completely routine. It is not surprising, let alone angry. It stands to reason, if there is no back-up The plan will not be so long-term, after all, we have been following this project until now, and we are only one step away from confirming it. Suddenly, such a big trouble happened, and ordinary customers would scold their mothers lightly, so how could they be so calm?"

Gao Hang snorted, "You don't want to say that the client deliberately framed it, do you? What's the reason? Are you full?"

"Of course not! Customers won't be so idle. But, what if we suddenly find a better partner? We have a contract, and unilateral breach of contract will not only damage our reputation, but also pay compensation! What should you do?"

Gao Hang made a serious face and thought about it, "According to this statement, if the two clients terminate the contract at the same time, then someone should be poaching us!"

Ke Qifeng tapped two fingers on the table, "Note, these assumptions are all based on the fact that Xia Zhi didn't take back the buckle, but you can't rule out that possibility..."

The person opposite immediately changed his impatient face, "Okay, what are you talking about? Get to the point!"

Ke Qifeng's face was a little gloomy, "To be honest, I think it's better for you to hope that this matter is not so complicated. It's Xia Zhi who did it. It doesn't matter for money or revenge. This is the best result! Otherwise," sighed, " It's really not that good." Looking up, seeing the face that was about to explode again, he hurriedly continued, "According to the current market situation, our quotation is very competitive. If we can snatch the customer from us so smoothly, what about that? The opponent is definitely not easy, and they can also go up and down, and the manufacturer can do tricks, and even..." He made a helpless gesture, "Although it is the last thing I want to see, but now look at it. According to his own statement, the data in Xia Zhi's computer has been tampered with, if it is true, the problem will be serious."

"A traitor?" Gao Hang was far less entangled than him, telling the truth easily.

"There is another possibility, network intrusion! But no matter which one it is, it is very dangerous. It shows that the other party has tried every means to punish us. What's worse, it seems that he really has this ability at present."

After thinking for a moment, the corner of Gao Hang's mouth raised and he clapped his hands a few times, "It's wonderful, such a meticulous reasoning, didn't you just come up with it today? Then, what's the countermeasure?"

"Let Xia Zhi leave!" Ke Qifeng answered simply. "If this happened to any other employee in the company, I would suspect that you offended someone, but when it happened to him, I can only speculate at the first moment that it was for him. This is based on this paragraph The conclusions drawn from the experience of time and judgment. Therefore, letting him go is currently the best solution.”

"So, in order to calm things down, it is necessary to sacrifice an innocent and outstanding employee?"

Ke Qifeng had a bitter face, "Why do I feel that you have changed roles with me now?" Shaking his head, he turned back to his serious face, "It doesn't matter what the truth is now, because in the final analysis, if he did it, then It is not wrong for him to leave; if he was calculated by others, it is still his factor that caused the company to suffer losses, and it is logical for him to bear the responsibility. What's more, even if there is no such thing, the pressure of the company's public opinion on him will not It's too heavy to bear, so leaving is the best choice."

Gao Hang didn't speak.

Ke Qifeng coughed, "No matter what your original intention for keeping him is, the most difficult time for him has passed, and you have compensated him, so you can feel at ease. Take a step back, instead of being a colleague, you can be a friend with confidence and boldness. .”

These words seemed to touch Gao Hang inexplicably. After a long silence, he got up and leaned against the window to look at the scenery of the opposite building, "So, must he take the blame? But I have already promised to give him time, What if he can prove his innocence?" After a pause, he seemed to have noticed the emotions of the people behind him, and turned around, "I mean, if something goes wrong, let the employees take the blame. If this kind of thing is publicized, it will have a bad impact, right? "

"If he can really prove that he is innocent, then the company can compensate him, of course, financially." Ke Qifeng was a little helpless, and his tone was not as firm as before, but his persuasive force remained undiminished, "He is smart. Man, when this kind of thing happened, the ending should have been expected, otherwise, when we were suspended that day, we would not have walked so calmly. The present persistence is nothing more than a self-proof of our character. As long as we don't Make public the reason for his departure," paused, "Of course, it would be best for him to submit his resignation letter, and the problem would be solved, which would be good for everyone."

Gao Hang is still hesitating.

Ke Qifeng gritted his teeth and gave the final conclusion: "The current situation is that if he continues to stay in the company, we may face threats from time to time. This time we lost two customers. Next time, we don't know what it will be." Yes. We have been in this circle for a long time. You know as well as I do. When we first started, it was not easy to accumulate customers one by one. From an unknown small company to today’s well-known industry, How much effort we have put in!" Standing up, walking to the door, hesitantly putting his hand on the doorknob, and turning around: "You should think about it carefully, I think the more you delay, the more trouble you will have."

Watching the figure of the man disappear outside the door, Gao Hang leaned back against the wall and looked out the window, his forehead swelled up and down. . .
