Chapter 1386 The Water is a Bit Muddy

"She, she, she, she, she framed me." Zhou Paopi denied, "I didn't accept her gift at all. As his former master, I did my best for her. But she gave me the gift in the hope that I would do something to her so that she could live a carefree life. I didn't agree."

Secretary Shen shook his head and said, "Old Zhou, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but I know you well. You're really not as righteous as you say."

Secretary Shen is a smart man. He had long seen that Jiang Hua might be venting his anger for this girl. He would not protect his protégé at this time, especially since Old Zhou was not his protégé.

Secretary Shen said to Jiang Hua, "I was able to become Mr. Xu's assistant because I have a better understanding of the company's personnel. Mr. Zhou is capable at work, but he is a bit greedy. During festivals, if his subordinates don't give him gifts, he likes to target them. But fortunately, he didn't affect the company's business. I once asked the company's human resources specialist to send him a warning letter."

Jiang Hua nodded: "Xie Ying, right? Your direct supervisor is indeed a bit of a jerk, but he is just a low moral person. The company hires people based on their talents, not their morals. It has not violated the company's regulations. We can only condemn him morally. Even if he assigns you more tasks, saying that it is to train your abilities, it is reasonable."

The little girl was so angry that her teeth were itching. Jiang Hua, who was standing next to him, could hear his teeth grinding.

"He knew that it was impossible for a new employee like me to finish this double workload within eight hours," Xie Ying sobbed. "He just wanted to torture me. He deducted my salary if I couldn't finish the work, and asked me to take the work home and finish it even if I stayed up late. I've been working here for more than a year, and I haven't had a good night's sleep."

Jiang Hua shook his head: "Your surname is Zhou, right? You are going too far. You are infringing on the legal rights of others. Moreover, according to the Labor Law, it is illegal to deduct employees' wages."

Zhou Paopi said in denial: "Boss, she didn't do her job well, so why didn't you give her a warning?"

"You can report this problem to the HR department, and they will send her a warning letter. After a certain number of such reports, they will either transfer her to another position or fire her, but you do not have the right to deduct her salary."

Secretary Shen shook his head and said, "That's not right. First, our company doesn't have a penalty policy of deducting wages. How did you deduct it? Second, the company's financial information is a second-level confidential information and cannot be taken out of the company at will. How did you take your work computer and financial USB drive home, little girl?"

The girl was stunned, and after a while she said, "He asked me to pay the fine in cash. As for the computer, he said he had applied to the security department for me, so I could take my work computer and financial USB drive home. I have to work for at least three hours every day after I get home to finish the day's workload."

"I really didn't expect the plot to have such a twist." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "Zhou Paopi, you are good at deceiving your subordinates and hiding things from your superiors. The little girl only needs to work overtime for three hours to complete twice the daily workload. This work efficiency is not good enough."

Secretary Shen added: "Also, allowing subordinates to take work computers and financial USB drives out of the company is a serious violation of discipline, and the corresponding punishment is dismissal."

"I didn't ask him to bring it. He brought it without telling me."

Xie Ying took out her phone and said, "I have the message you sent me. You asked me to take the computer home to work."

Jiang Hua took a look at the information the little girl had found. Although it wasn't stated explicitly, this was the meaning.

Jiang Hua smiled and said, "Zhou Paopi, you are a bit stupid. How can you leave evidence for such a thing?" Xie Ying was crying loudly at this moment. Jiang Hua took out a tissue and handed it to her, "Wipe it. Your eyes are about to turn into goldfish bubbles from crying. Tell me what grievances you have. Since you have offended him, just vent it out."

"Two months ago, I was not feeling well and was hospitalized. I was listless every day, and he called me every day to assign tasks. Even the nurses in the hospital couldn't stand it anymore and warned him not to overwork me, but he turned a deaf ear to me. I didn't recover at that time, and I still have frequent migraines now."

The girl continued angrily, "This morning I asked him for leave. I asked for three days off because my father was going to have his birthday. I could also take my work back home, but he refused to approve it. He also said that it doesn't matter whether I celebrate my father's birthday or not, he is still my father. But if I don't do this job, I don't want to work anymore."

Secretary Shen frowned when he heard such anti-human remarks: "If this is not a society ruled by law, I really want to kick you to death. Are you talking like a human being? Our company has always been about humanistic care, humanistic care. With what you did, are you considered a human being?"

Jiang Hua sat across from Zhou Paopi and said, "I'm quite curious. You should have children at your age."

Zhou Paopi nodded, and Jiang Hua asked, "Is your child working yet? If he encounters a leader like you after he starts working, how would you feel as a father? I am also a father, and I have a daughter. If I knew that my daughter was being treated like this outside, I would want to kill you."

Secretary Shen sneered and said, "The leader asked you a question, why didn't you say anything? Where does your child work? Is there a leader as arrogant as you?"

Zhou Paopi hesitated for a moment and said, "My daughter works in a state-owned enterprise."

Secretary Shen said with disgust: "Thank God, the country is not as conscienceless as you."

At this time, an employee from the Finance Department who was sitting in the corner said, "He lied. His daughter works in our company, in the purchasing department. And when he and his daughter were at work, they seemed to be strangers, without much involvement. If I hadn't accidentally seen and overheard the girl calling him dad when we were having dinner outside, I wouldn't have known about this."

Jiang Hua and Secretary Shen looked at each other and immediately felt that there was something fishy going on.

"You work in the finance department, and your daughter works in the purchasing department." Secretary Shen said suspiciously, "Although it is not a written rule, there are also such unspoken rules in the company to avoid suspicion. In the past, when people from the finance department and the purchasing department fell in love, one of them was transferred to another position. They can never be on the same line."

Jiang Hua knocked on the table and said, "It seems that the water here is a bit muddy. You pretended to be a stranger at work. If you say that there is no little calculation between you and your daughter, I don't believe it."

Secretary Shen nodded in agreement: "I don't believe it either."

"Investigate it thoroughly. What is the trick here? Who assigned their positions?" Jiang Hua said coldly: "I want to see who has mud on their legs after the water comes out."
