From abandoned baby to CEO

Li Qian's words shocked Sun Xue.

Afraid that Sun Xue wouldn't believe it, Li Qian added, "Boss Sun, these things were told to me by Sister Wang from the Human Resources Department."

"Sister Wang? Is she reliable?"

"We have a pretty good relationship. Last week, her grandson had his birthday, and I gave him a generous gift. She was very happy. She also said that the company is full of cliques. Mr. Zhang and Director Shao each have their own cliques..."

Sun Xue was stunned. "You mean... Director Shao also has a gang?"

"That's right. Sister Wang said that many of these fifty-plus workers are related to him, so I suspect..."

"Do you suspect there's something wrong with the list Director Shao gave me?"

Li Qian nodded solemnly. "This is just my suspicion. I'm asking Sister Wang to help verify this matter. If there are indeed relatives of his on the list Director Shao gave you, then you must investigate this matter thoroughly. See if his relatives are truly capable or just filling in the numbers. Otherwise, this kind of selection is meaningless. Abusing power for personal gain is too unfair to others..."

Sun Xue broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this!

She had always focused her attention on Mr. Zhang, but she had never doubted Director Shao...

If it is true as Li Qian said, that Director Shao also tampered with this selection exam, then it would be terrible!

Director Shao was the first person she reused after taking over the municipal investment company, and he was also the person she trusted the most.

She always felt that Director Shao was honest and sincere, and worked diligently. She even reminded Director Shao before he wrote the list to be absolutely fair and just.

She can still recall the scene at that time. Director Shao had a firm look in his eyes and assured her solemnly that the selection would be absolutely fair and just.

Is it...

Director Shao has been deceiving her?

If that was true, it would be very disheartening for her.

She worked hard for the survival of the company, but the key personnel under her were deceiving her for their own selfish desires.

Even for technical learning opportunities that are related to the future of the company, they have to place their own people.

It's easy to imagine what kind of outrageous things they would do in other matters that benefit them...

Fortunately, she was careful enough to ask Director Shao to write a list in advance. Otherwise, she would still be kept in the dark and let these two people make a fool of her.

Seeing Sun Xue's face gradually becoming ugly, Li Qian stepped forward and comforted her softly:

"Mr. Sun, don't get too angry. I'll find a way to get to the bottom of this. There's definitely something wrong with Mr. Zhang, and as for Director Shao... maybe we're just overthinking it. He looks so honest, and you've been so kind to him, supporting him and giving him a raise. Logically, he shouldn't do something like this..."

Sun Xue knew that these were Li Qian's words to comfort her. Various signs indicated that the probability of Director Shao deceiving her was very high.

She felt like she was about to explode with anger in her heart.

She breathed a sigh of relief, calmed herself down, and said, "Manager Li, I'm sorry to bother you with this. I need to see the results as soon as possible."

"Mr. Sun, I understand."

After Li Qian left, Sun Xue couldn't calm down for a long time.

A simple talent selection activity actually revealed the dark side of the city investment company...

It was in such a seemingly simple matter that Zhang Jianguo and Director Shao, as members of the company's management, caused such trouble.

She suspected that perhaps this was just the tip of the iceberg, and she still didn't know what these people had done behind the scenes in the company's past management.

Sun Xue felt scared just thinking about it!

No wonder such a state-owned enterprise with decades of development and once a glorious past would go bankrupt. It seems there is a reason...

She suddenly remembered that although the Municipal Investment Corporation had not been able to pay salaries for several months, Mr. Zhang and Director Shao both drove expensive cars, especially Mr. Zhang, who drove a Mercedes-Benz worth over one million yuan.

A company is on the verge of bankruptcy, but the vice president drives a luxury car worth millions. Does anyone know where his money comes from?

She realized the seriousness of the problem and called Li Qian.

"Boss Sun, is there anything else I can do for you?"

"Manager Li, please take some time to help me check the accounts of the municipal investment company, especially those related to Mr. Zhang. Oh, and Director Shao..."

Li Qian understood Sun Xue.

"Okay, Mr. Sun."

Sun Xue suddenly felt powerless. It seemed that this company's decline wasn't simply due to poor management, as Vice Mayor Wang had said. There might be a deeper hidden story behind it, leading to its current state...

In the afternoon, Sun Xue called Director Shao into the office.

Director Shao was not surprised when Sun Xue suddenly called him to the office.

He guessed that it must be because of the selection personnel. After all, the final selection result was different from what he had written to Sun Xue before.

He had already expected this, but when the final result fell into Sun Xue's hands, Sun Xue would definitely come to him.

So he still has a bit of gloating mentality...

"Mr. Sun, do you have any instructions for me?" Director Shao asked with a simple smile.

Sun Xue suppressed her displeasure and asked seriously, "Director Shao, are you sure this selection process is okay?"

Director Shao also looked serious. "Boss Sun, as you can see, Boss Zhang and I were personally invigilating the written exam, and we also supervised the practical part together. I can assure you that there were absolutely no problems with the entire process."

Sun Xue picked up the list that Mr. Zhang had given him and pushed it in front of Director Shao. "These seven people weren't on the list you wrote me before. What's going on?"

Sun Xue deliberately marked the names of these seven people with a black pen. Director Shao frowned and read it, looking bewildered. "When the selection results came out, I was also a little puzzled, but their scores were there. Our selection criteria are based on comprehensive scores, so..."

Director Shao smiled bitterly and added, "Boss Sun, you've seen that these seven people all scored very well on the written exams."

Sun Xue suspected that Zhang Jianguo must have tampered with the written test, so she immediately asked:

"Did you write the written test questions together?"

Director Shao shook his head decisively and complained:

"Boss Sun, didn't you ask me to work with Boss Zhang on the selection process? I suggested we work on the test questions together, but Boss Zhang said I didn't need to worry about it, as he would prepare it on the computer. Since he said that, I had no choice but to listen to him."

Sun Xue guessed correctly. It must be that Mr. Zhang leaked the test questions to these people in advance...

"Director Shao, I hope you can tell me the truth. What are the true abilities of these seven people?"

Director Shao curled his lips and pointed at the list, saying, "Mr. Sun, two of them have pretty good skills, but the other five can only be said to have very average skills..."
