Chapter 65 65. Someone Has to Take Responsibility

Ye Xiaodan was surprised to see that the seal of Dadi Real Estate Company, Shi Yong's signature and the seal of Lao Lu's company were on the contract, but the signature of the contractor Lao Lu was not found.

Lao Lu squeezed to Bai Xinwen's side to read the contract, with an imperceptible smile on his face: "I said Director Bai, we all have rules and regulations. A company as big as yours can't fool people casually. I remember that I haven't signed this supplementary contract. You insist that I signed it, where is my signature on it?"

Bai Xinwen's face turned pale: "Manager Lu, we can't lie to you, you see your company's seal on it."

"It is true to have my company's seal. The last clause says that the contract will come into effect after it is signed and sealed. Without my signature, how can the contract be considered effective?"

Bai Xinwen forced a laugh: "Manager Lu, both of us were present when we signed the contract. I watched you sign it. Have you forgotten?"

Lao Lu looked confused: "Did you remember wrongly? Why don't I have any impression?"

"Manager Lu, this is a very serious matter, please don't joke around." Bai Xinwen's voice became louder.He was really in a hurry. When he decided to add road construction, the company and Lao Lu had been arguing for a long time. In the end, Lao Lu reluctantly agreed to sign a supplementary contract, and he would be responsible for road construction with an additional 500 million yuan.Now there is no signature from Lao Lu, which means that the supplementary contract has not taken effect, and there will be a gap of 500 million, and the company will definitely pursue responsibility.As a party, he couldn't run away.

Old Lu Zhengse: "Why is this a joke? Without my signature, you can't force me to admit it!"

Bai Xinwen was trembling with anger, unable to speak.

Ye Xiaodan stabilized his mind: "Manager Lu, your company's seal is clearly stamped on the contract. If possible, you can sign the contract now."

Lao Lu made an excuse: "The person who kept the official seal of our company resigned. That kid may have affixed the seal on the contract in order to retaliate against me. He does not represent me. I will not sign the contract that requires me to pay for road construction at my own expense. "

"According to the law, as long as a person in your company holds your company's official seal, it means that you have authorized him, and his seal is valid for you."

Lao Lu found Ye Xiaodan difficult to deal with: "Gong Ye, the last clause above clearly states that the contract will take effect after it is sealed and signed. Without my signature, this contract will not count."

Ye Xiaodan insisted: "Whether it counts or not is not up to you. I remember you also promised to build that road."

"I really don't remember saying that. What's more, empty words are nothing but written evidence. Since the contract has not come into effect, you can go back and deal with business directly, and you will be scolded at worst." Lao Lu took out two big red packets and stuffed them in : "A few days ago, people from your company came to inspect the project site in turn. I forgot to prepare a red envelope, and now I will make up for you two."

Bai Xinwen and Ye Xiaodan looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Lao Lu patted the red envelope: "The amount inside will definitely allow you to take it easy. Director Bai, you are welcome, you must accept it. Ye Gong, I am really sorry about the first day of junior high school. You have your day's money in this For labor costs, I will compensate you, right?"

The two hurriedly refused.

Old Lu insisted: "Two, if my old Lu makes money from this project, the benefits of both of you are indispensable. You must keep these two red envelopes. If you don't take them, you won't give me face."

The two fled in despair.

Lao Lu stayed where he was, patting the red envelope and regretting: "These two are too timid."

His assistant came over: "Boss, they didn't accept the red envelope, will they find another way to deal with you? We can't get into trouble with them, and we have to rely on them to settle the project payment in the future."

"What are you afraid of? I can't see my signature on the contract, so what can they do to me? Your kid has a good idea, and the signature disappears, saving me 500 million. When I turn around, I will give you a big red envelope."

The man was overjoyed: "Thank you, boss."

Ye Xiaodan and Bai Xinwen went back to the company.Bai Xinwen called Hong Lei to explain the situation on the way.

Hong Lei couldn't believe it: "I'll immediately ask Xu Xuan to go to the company's legal department to review the backup contract."

Ye Xiaodan and Bai Xinwen rushed to the company, and You Gong was waiting at the door: "Manager Hong told you to go directly to the conference room, Deputy General Manager Shi will be there soon."

Bai Xinwen nodded and went straight into the meeting room.Ye Xiaodan followed closely, and saw Hong Lei and the manager of the legal department sitting there dejectedly, with the contract in front of them. The last page of the contract was the same as the one in Bai Xinwen's hand, without the contractor's signature.

Shi Yong hurried in and asked without sitting down: "What's the matter? Our company's contracts have always been signed and sealed by the other party. Why is this contract only signed and sealed by our company, and the other party is missing?" of?"

Wen surnamed Bai lowered his head and said, "I saw Lu Wende sign the contract with my own eyes."

Shi Yong roared angrily: "You saw him sign it yourself, why is his handwriting gone now? At first, the company tried so hard to get him to sign a supplementary contract to repair the road at his own expense, how can he be restrained by the contract now? The cost of road construction is up to you out?"

Bai Xinwen lowered his head a little more.

Shi Yong patted the table: "What's going on? Who can give me a reasonable answer?"

Hong Lei got up and poured tea for him: "Deputy General Manager Shi, calm down. I communicated with Manager Ding of the legal department just now, and he was sure that after the contract was signed and sealed by both parties, their legal department The backup contract was filed. Now, Lu Wende's handwriting has disappeared, and there can only be one reason."

Shi Yong was startled, and had a guess in his heart: "Do you think so?"

"There must be something wrong with the pen used by the other party to sign. The handwriting evaporates after a few days."

"Recall quickly, how was the contract signed? What kind of pen did the other party take?"

Hong Lei looked at Bai Xinwen: "Xinwen, I remember that after Deputy General Manager Shi and I persuaded Lu Wende to agree to sign a supplementary contract, General Manager Zheng called and asked Deputy General Manager Shi and me to go to his office. You were the one who watched Lu Wende sign the contract the whole time. Contracts."

Bai Xinwen tried hard to recall the details of signing the contract: "I was waiting for him to sign. The manager of the engineering department called and was eager to find a document. I asked Xu Xuan to watch Lu Wende sign the contract and send one of them to the legal department. department record."

Shi Yong was discouraged: "It must be that Lu Wende tricked Xu Xuan into tampering with the signature pen, and this bastard actually played with us. Right now, this supplementary contract has not come into effect, and the company needs to pay 500 million more for road repairs. Mr. Zheng The manager must be furious when he finds out, we all have to eat, we don’t have any hope of getting promoted and raising salary in the future, whether we can keep our jobs is still a matter of opinion, we have to figure out a solution as soon as possible.”

Hong Lei looked at the manager of the legal department expectantly: "Manager Ding, what can you do?"

Manager Ding smiled bitterly: "What can I do now?"

Hong Lei was dejected: "Blame me, I should review the contract again, so that such problems won't happen."

"Hong Lei, don't blame yourself. This is the other party's intention to plot against us, and we have fallen into their trap." Shi Yong glanced at the manager of the legal department: "Old Ding, as the manager of the legal department, you are in charge of the company's contract review. Now , the other party’s signature on the contract disappears, causing the contract to be invalid, and your legal department cannot get rid of the responsibility, and you will definitely be held accountable.”

Manager Ding cautiously said: "I know that our legal department must be responsible for negligence, but we did not sign the contract with the other party, so we are not the first to be held accountable, right?"

Shi Yong slapped the table: "Don't be in a hurry to throw away the responsibility! You look at the judicial process, is the company sure of winning?"

Manager Ding's head was covered with dense sweat: "The chance of winning is very small."

Suddenly, a dark cloud enveloped the meeting room.

After a long time, Shi Yong said: "Since this is the case, someone has to take this responsibility."
