The leader is my girlfriend

【Cannery Conference Room】

Deputy Director Cheng looked seriously at his secretary, Zhang Yue, who was standing beside him. "Are all the staff here?"

Zhang Yue quickly nodded respectfully in response, "Everything is ready, you can start."

After receiving a positive answer, Deputy Director Cheng cleared his throat and spoke slowly.

"Now that everyone is here, I will just say a few words.

I'm sure everyone here has heard that recently, a lot of rumors and slander have been circulating within our factory. This has not only seriously impacted the unity and harmony among our employees, but has also caused significant damage to the reputation of our entire cannery.

At this point, Deputy Director Cheng paused for a moment, glanced at the expressions of everyone present, and then continued,

"Some time ago, a female comrade came to the gate of our cannery with a big-character poster, asking the factory leaders to seek justice for her. I think everyone knows this.

This incident caused a lot of uproar, and I believe many of my colleagues witnessed the two eye-catching big-character posters. A female comrade was forced to go to the countryside, and after returning to the city, she had no one to rely on. She came to our cannery hoping to get help and support from the leadership to solve the problems she faced.

Deputy Director Cheng took a deep breath and continued speaking in a firm tone.

"We absolutely cannot sit idly by in situations like this! We must be brave enough to correct mistakes and address problems promptly. Therefore, we have a series of measures in place to remove problematic personnel and return the work to those who deserve it. I won't go into detail about the details.

Comrade Cheng Yanzi relied on her own real talents and skills to pass the cannery's external recruitment examination and was admitted to the logistics cadre position in our factory. She graduated from a regular high school. This is beyond doubt and there is no dispute.

Of course, if any of you are skeptical about this matter, you can go to the Human Resources Department to check the relevant employment files. The graduation certificate has the official seal of the Education Bureau. You can also check the admission list from a few years ago, where Comrade Cheng Yanzi's name is clearly written.

Before this, I also had a conversation with Vice Minister Wang about the content of the rumor.

Why wasn't Cheng Yanzi assigned to handle external sales? Because she was the most educated person in the Purchasing Department. The Purchasing Department consists of several divisions, each with its own diverse forms and ledgers, requiring meticulous input. After careful consideration, Vice Minister Wang decided to assign Cheng Yanzi the crucial position of statistician.

Yet, even such a trivial matter has sparked rumors within the factory. Some people are even speculating, without any basis, that there's some kind of ambiguous relationship between me, Vice Minister Wang, and Comrade Cheng Yanzi! What kind of person would have such a ridiculous idea? How can you just casually throw such fabricated dirt at others?

At this moment, facing the raging anger of Deputy Director Cheng, the entire conference room was silent and the atmosphere was solemn.

At this time, the financial director Qian Fang "bravely" spoke up and argued convincingly.

"Deputy Director Cheng, I'm not targeting you, but as the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs. If Cheng Yanzi really didn't do this, then why are there rumors?

Why not spread rumors about others, but only about her? Our factory has had so many workers join us, and everything has been peaceful for so many years. How come it's just a short time after Comrade Yan Zi arrived that rumors are spreading everywhere?"

Deputy Director Cheng frowned slightly as he listened to Director Qian's words, staring intently at him. "Director Qian, do you have any ideas?"

Director Qian met Deputy Director Cheng's gaze and answered without hesitation, "My thinking is simple. Now that the rumor has spread, it means something is wrong with the factory. So, no matter what, we have to give the workers an explanation, otherwise everyone will be suspicious."

Deputy Director Cheng pressed the issue, "So what exactly do you mean by explanation?"

Director Qian paused, then continued, "I think we should first have Comrade Cheng Yanzi cooperate with the investigation. If it's ultimately proven that she's innocent, then it's not impossible to reinstate her position. As long as she's innocent, she certainly won't be afraid of an investigation."

Upon hearing this, Deputy Director Cheng couldn't help but raise his voice, "Are you going to investigate Comrade Cheng Yanzi?"

Director Qian seemed not to have noticed Deputy Director Cheng's tone and continued to talk to himself.

"Since everyone is saying there's something wrong with Comrade Cheng Yanzi, we must definitely take action. We can't afford to be careless." As she spoke, she gestured with her hands, as if the matter was very serious and urgently needed to be resolved.

Deputy Director Cheng asked directly, "Then should Deputy Minister Wang and I also be suspended from our duties to cooperate with the Security Department's investigation?"

Director Qian paused for a moment, then replied, "Well... this may not be necessary for now. After all, there was no problem before."

The cadres below also began to talk about it. Deputy Director Cheng's face became more and more ugly. Just as he was about to lose his temper, Wang Yiming suddenly spoke up.

"Deputy Director Cheng, I have something to say."

Deputy Director Cheng turned his head abruptly and looked straight at Wang Yiming. The words of scolding that were on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back.

He slowly put down the teacup he was about to take a sip of and nodded to Wang Yiming, motioning him to continue. "Yiming, just tell me what you think."

After getting permission, Wang Yiming placed his hands firmly on the conference table, straightened his body, and began to explain his views.

"First of all, I personally disagree with Director Qian's statement about launching an investigation into Comrade Cheng Yanzi.

Think about it, everyone. Comrade Cheng Yanzi's place of work in the countryside at the time was several provinces away from Beijing! Moreover, she went to such a remote rural area that even sending back news was quite difficult.

So, who could come to such a conclusion with such confidence?

So, in my opinion, the most urgent task is not to immediately investigate Comrade Cheng Yanzi, but to promptly identify the person who first spread the rumor! Only by finding the source can we truly understand the truth of the matter."

If the person who spread the rumor was just speaking nonsense, then what was their purpose? The reputation of the female comrade, the innocence of me and Deputy Director Cheng, and the reputation of the cannery have all been damaged to varying degrees. This person is not only abhorrent in his actions, but also filthy in his heart. He acts without regard for the consequences and should be severely punished.
