Chapter 284 They've Completely Broke Up (2)
Yi Fanxi remained indifferent: "I abstain."
Qin Yun paused, clenched his fist, and gritted his teeth in anger.
Fisher glanced at her: "If it weren't for the fact that Deputy Director Qin hasn't produced many works since joining Fan Hua Design, I think this acting director position would definitely be yours."
Qin Yun stiffened, then sat down angrily.
"What about the others' opinions?" Fisher asked, looking around. Most of them listened to him. He smiled. "Very well. According to what the others just said, am I not qualified enough? After all, I haven't been at Fan Hua Design for long, and before I only managed small groups of a few people. Does that mean I should bow down and step down?"
Several dissenting voices were taken aback, not expecting Fisher to launch an attack on them, and quickly said, "That's not what we meant..."
"Everyone knows what I mean, no need to explain," Fisher said indifferently.
"Director, you are you, and Yan Zuozuo is Yan Zuozuo. How can she compare to you..."
"So, in your heart, people are divided into different classes," Fisher said with a half-smile. "As a department employee, instead of working together with your superiors, you constantly ostracize and oppose them. I can't say it's a matter of character, but at the very least, it's definitely incompatible with our company's principles. And with the two of you obstructing things at every turn, the children's clothing line is still selling like hotcakes. This further confirms Yan Zuozuo's work ability. In my opinion, the position of acting director belongs to Yan Zuozuo without a doubt!"
"Clap clap clap!"
Fisher had barely finished speaking when a burst of applause rang out, first led by Cai Keren and Tong Shili, followed by a wave of applause. Qin Yun grew even angrier.
"As for Deputy Director Qin..." Fisher waited until the applause subsided, then looked at Qin Yun with a half-smile, "I, on the other hand..."
"I have serious doubts about Deputy Director Qin's character!" Yan Zuozuo, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up, immediately causing a great uproar, and everyone's eyes turned to her.
"Yan Zuozuo, what do you mean by that?" Qin Yun glared at her angrily.
Yan Zuozuo glanced at her, a smile playing on her lips. "Since Deputy Director Qin mentioned that I rose to power through special means, do you have any evidence? But I have solid evidence to prove who rose to power through special means. Moreover, I have even more shocking news. I wonder if Deputy Director Qin would be interested in hearing it?"
Qin Yun's heart tightened. Could it be that Yan Zuozuo wouldn't...?
"I have the reasons why Deputy Director Qin returned to China to develop his career, and the evidence is sufficient. I will now send it to everyone here so that you can see who rose to power through special means and ended up disgraced."
"Don't post it!" Qin Yun roared as soon as Yan Zuozuo finished speaking, and everyone's eyes turned to her. Her heart tightened, but she pretended to be calm and said, "Yan Zuozuo, come out with me."
Yan Zuozuo glanced at her: "This is a plenary meeting, let's say what we have to say here, or is Deputy Director Qin afraid that I will bring something out?"
Qin Yun's heart pounded. He took a deep breath and said, "Miss Yan, I have a few words I'd like to say to you. Please come out with me for a moment." Without waiting for Yan Zuozuo's reply, he grabbed her hand and led her outside.
The crowd looked at each other, wondering what Qin Yun was up to. Could it be that Yan Zuozuo really had something on him?
Qin Yun summoned Yan Zuozuo to his office, his face contorted with rage. "Yan Zuozuo, you just want to take the position of acting director, fine, I'll give it to you. Give me the evidence you have."
Yan Zuozuo looked at her amusedly: "I don't need you to give up my position. I can take the position of acting director on my own merits. To be honest, if Deputy Director Qin hadn't been so aggressive just now, I wouldn't have planned to expose you. There's a saying on the internet, 'If you don't act recklessly, you won't die,' which perfectly describes Deputy Director Qin's current situation."
"Yan Zuozuo!" Qin Yun's face turned ashen with anger. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"I don't want to do anything, I just want to tell Deputy Director Qin that Director Fisher and I are just superior and subordinate. I hope you won't overthink things anymore, otherwise..." Yan Zuozuo sneered and tapped the document in her hand.
Faced with Yan Zuozuo's threat, Qin Yun glared fiercely at her. Suddenly, she reached out to snatch Yan Zuozuo's documents. Yan Zuozuo retreated step by step with the documents in her hand, and Qin Yun pounced on her like a madwoman. Yan Zuozuo dodged and weaved, but Qin Yun was clearly risking her life, disregarding everything to grab the evidence.
Faced with Qin Yun's madness, Yan Zuozuo suddenly let go, looking at her with a half-smile. Qin Yun took the document, tore it to shreds without even glancing at it, and stomped on the scraps that fell to the ground.
She raised her eyes and glared fiercely at Yan Zuozuo, "Now I'd like to see what other tricks you have up your sleeve!"
Yan Zuozuo shook her head helplessly: "Deputy Director Qin, I always thought you were very smart, but now it seems I overestimated you. Look at those documents, do they have anything to do with you?"
Qin Yun was taken aback and quickly squatted down to look at the fragments on the ground. He saw that they contained some irrelevant company information, and there was no evidence of anything suspicious about them.
"Are you kidding me?!" Qin Yun roared like a madman.
"I never said the evidence was here; you insisted on taking it." Yan Zuozuo said with amusement. "Besides, even if it were evidence, I couldn't possibly carry the original with me. I have as many copies as you want to take."
"You!" Qin Yun gritted her teeth, hating Yan Zuozuo to death. However, she was currently at someone else's mercy and could only compromise for the time being. She took a deep breath and said, "Give me the evidence, and I will help you testify against Meng Xinyu. I know how many things she has done to frame you, and I also have evidence."
Yan Zuozuo was stunned, not expecting that Qin Yun would disregard their years of friendship for this evidence. She shook her head and sighed, "Deputy Director Qin is too naive. No matter what, Meng Xinyu and I are relatives. Although she may not acknowledge me, I still consider her my cousin. So, Deputy Director Qin, you don't need to worry about our affairs."
Qin Yun was worried when she saw that Yan Zuozuo was unmoved by either soft or hard tactics. If she really made these things public, she might not be able to stay in the domestic design industry. Although her methods were not honorable, design had always held an important place in her life. She had already lost her footing abroad, and she absolutely could not ruin herself in China as well.
“Yan Zuozuo…” Qin Yun stared straight at her, his smile bitter. “Fine, I give up. As long as you don’t tell those things, I’ll do whatever you want.”
"Really anything is fine?" Yan Zuozuo stared at her intently, as if considering something.
In the conference room, the crowd, who had been waiting for a long time without seeing Yan Zuozuo and Qin Yun return, began to discuss the matter, and their voices grew louder and louder.
"You mean when Yan Zuozuo said he got promoted through special means, he was actually referring to Deputy Director Qin?"
"Very likely. You can tell just by looking at Deputy Director Qin. He was so scared that his face turned pale just now."
"Tsk tsk, no wonder he came back to China, his scandal must have been discovered..."
The crowd whispered amongst themselves, while Fisher sat quietly in his seat, awaiting Yan Zuozuo's final decision. If she truly intended to expose Qin Yun, then Qin Yun would only have to accept her misfortune, and her future in the design industry would likely be over. But if she intended to let her go, it would only sow the seeds of future trouble.
His fingers tapped the table repeatedly. He glanced at the time and saw that about ten minutes had passed. He should be back soon.
Soon, Yan Zuozuo pushed open the office door, looked around, and walked back to her seat.
Everyone stared at her intently, as if waiting for the outcome.
"Deputy Director Qin asked me to ask the director for leave on her behalf, saying there were family matters to attend to and she had to go back first." As soon as Yan Zuozuo said this, a murmur of discussion erupted below. Most guessed that what Yan Zuozuo had just said was true, that the two had reached an agreement, and that Qin Yun had compromised.
Fisher raised an eyebrow: "Very good. It seems that Deputy Director Qin has withdrawn from the election. The position of acting director will be given to Yan Zuozuo. Does anyone else have any objections?"
With Qin Yun withdrawing, what objections could anyone else have? Naturally, it passed unanimously. Just as Fisher announced Yan Zuozuo as acting director and was about to adjourn the meeting, Yan Zuozuo interrupted him, saying, "Wait a minute, I still have some things to take care of."
Everyone looked at her curiously. Today's performance was truly spectacular; they wondered what other exciting things were to come.
Yan Zuozuo took out her phone and pressed play in front of everyone. The sound in the recording was very soft, but it was unmistakably Qin Yun's voice.
"Your team, including the new assistant, has five people in total. As long as you support me, I'm confident I can take the position of acting director. Here's a small token of my appreciation, take it first. Once I'm in the position of acting director, I'll pull Yan Zuozuo down and make her your team leader. You'll have a bright future with promotions and raises."
"Thank you, Deputy Director Qin. But Yan Zuozuo is not easy to deal with. Last time, she got rid of Gu Qingxin, whom you arranged to come in. Will she try some tricks this time?"
"Gu Qingxin was stupid; it's better that she left, so she won't expose us. You all just keep your mouths shut."
The two men were meek and submissive. The recording continued with a long conversation between Qin Yun and two traitors from their group, which also brought up the previous incident involving Gu Qingxin. Everyone was stunned. Who would have thought that the outwardly upright and serious Deputy Director Qin was actually doing such despicable things behind the scenes?
It's true what they say: you can know a person's face but not their heart!
After the recording finished playing, the previously silent conference room suddenly erupted in discussion, and the two traitors who followed Qin Yun turned pale and were drenched in cold sweat.
Yan Zuozuo looked at them: "If you question this conversation, you can have it examined. I've now seen what you mean by prioritizing the big picture. But I'm sorry, my group can't keep two members. If other groups are willing to accept you, you're welcome to switch groups."
Seeing that their scheme had been exposed, the two men pursed their lips tightly, gritted their teeth, and looked at Yan Zuozuo. "We can confess everything, we just beg you not to fire us. We had no choice; we've been long-time employees of Fan Hua Design for a long time, and even if we haven't made any great contributions, we've certainly put in a lot of hard work..."
"I never want to target anyone or resort to underhanded tactics. As a member of Fan Hua Design, I just want to do my job well. But your actions have seriously affected my work, so I have to take action. And as far as I know, you two also frequently take on private jobs behind the company's back, right? This is a serious violation of company rules and regulations. As for how to handle it, that's up to the director."
The two trembled with fear, stealing a glance at Fisher with a strange glint in their eyes.
