Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 387
Chapter 387 Du Xiaoxian took my money
Meng Zi He had gone to great lengths to get rid of the obtrusive maiden sister, and one plan failed to produce another.
Since mistakes at work are not fired, OFFICE romances are not discouraged, and faulty work ethic is not penalized, what about faulty character?
If someone with questionable character isn’t fired, that proves that this company doesn’t know right from wrong, and there’s no point in her staying here.
Du Xiaoxian felt that in the past two days, Meng Zihe was a bit better to himself, and would nod and smile when he met, although Gu Nianbin wanted her to beware of Meng Zihe, but she always felt that human nature is good, and no one will always think of counting on others, and that is how exhausting it is to live!
Regardless of how Meng Zi He treats her, she follows the instructions as usual anyway. After helping Meng Zi He to organize the information back to his seat, his butt didn’t even sit hot, Meng Zi He came over and looked at her with a yin-yang-yang smile, “Du Xiaoxian, how come you’re this kind of person?”
Du Xiaoxian was puzzled, “Secretary Meng, I don’t understand what you mean.”
“Less pretending,” Meng Zi He snorted coldly, “For the sake of a colleague, hurry up and take it out, or else you’ll be in trouble if it becomes a big deal.”
“Take what?” Du Xiaoxian was even stranger, “I didn’t take anything from you?”
Jia Nan had been paying attention to Meng Zi He since she walked in the door, and when she heard their conversation, she walked over and said, “Secretary Meng, get it straight, what did Xiao Xian take from you?”
“In that case, I’ll be polite.” Meng Zi He raised his voice, “Du Xiao Xian took my money.”
“I didn’t,” Du Xiaoxian jumped up at the sound of that, Meng Zihe meant to say she stole money? She had never spied on anyone else’s things, she wasn’t a thief!
The staff in the secretary’s office all gathered around to help Du Xiaoxian:
“Secretary Meng, look again, maybe it’s misplaced, Xian isn’t that kind of person.”
“Yeah, Fairy is the most honest, she won’t mess with other people’s stuff.”
Meng Zi He swept his gaze coldly, “Can you vouch for her?”
This is said out, immediately silent, sympathy to sympathy, but no one wants to get into trouble, this year more than one thing is better than one thing, to protect oneself is the best policy.
Janan asked, “You said Xian took your money, where’s the proof?”
“Finding money on her is proof,” Meng Zi He looked at Du Xiao Xian, “Do you have money in your pocket?”
Du Xiaoxian shook her head, “No.”
“Since there isn’t any, if one pulls it out and has it, isn’t it provable that it’s someone else’s money?” Meng Zi He raised his chin slightly, his expression somewhat scornful.
“Secretary Meng, there are so many people in the secretary’s office, why do you suspect Du Xiaoxian alone? Also, where do you keep your money? How much is missing? Are there any marks?” Jia Nan said, “It’s always necessary to have a pair of marks to be considered evidence, right?”
“Team Leader Jia is right, everything is about evidence,” Meng Zi He sneered, “I suspect Du Xiaoxian because she was the only one who went to my place just now, and when I was organizing the information, I left once, during which time she stayed there alone. My money was in the bag, the bag was in the drawer, unlocked, five hundred dollars tied with a leather hoop, but now it’s gone. If she didn’t take it, who else could it be?”
“I didn’t, you framed me!” Du Xiaoxian finally understands why Meng Zihe has smiled at her these past two days, because of trying to confuse her, Meng Zihe still doesn’t have good intentions towards her.
“Joke, I’m fed up and have nothing to do to falsely accuse you!” Meng Zi He said, “While everyone is here, empty your pockets, if not, wouldn’t that just prove your innocence?”
Just digging, Du Xiaoxian put her hand into her pocket and touched something, her face turned white, she suddenly remembered the incident in her hourly life.
When she was poor and miserable, she never stole half a corn from someone’s vegetable field. But there are some things are not clear, once, a few children in the village in the dark to steal and pick the corn of other people’s homes, was found by the main family, all the way to the chase, the children were chased to the point of desperation, threw the corn into the yard of her house, mixed in the crowd shouting that it was she who stole the corn, the angry main family kicked open the door of her home, saw the corn scattered in the yard, felt that the evidence is conclusive, and so surrounded the hard beat her, if not the second aunt heard the news and ran over to save her, that time, she really would have been killed to go, the village people would have regarded her as a half of the corn in the vegetable field. If not the second aunt heard the news, ran over to save her, that time, she really would have been killed to go, the village people would have regarded her as a thorn in the side of the village, that is, really killed, no one will make a statement, cooler a roll of grass buried on the end of the matter. She still thinks about it, still feel afraid.
Jia Nan saw her face change and her heart thumped, the little girl couldn’t have really taken Meng Zi He’s money, could she? Why else would she be scared like this?
“What? Don’t dare to pull it out?” Meng Zi He laughed conspiratorially.
In full view of everyone, Du Xiaoxian had to pull it out, and sure enough, there was a roll of money tied with a leather hoop.
Jia Nan picked it up and opened it and counted it, no more, no less than five hundred dollars.
“Now you believe it, Du Xiaoxian is a thief, everyone’s valuables should be put securely, it’s not good to lose them.”
The staff of the secretary’s office, from the bottom of their hearts, did not want to believe that Du Xiaoxian was a thief, but the ironclad evidence was so strong that they could not help but disbelieve it.
“It would be irresponsible for all of you if such a staff member continues to stay, I will draft a petition to ask the company to make appropriate dispositions for Du Xiaoxian, for the sake of everyone’s safety, I hope that all of you will sign it in order to draw the attention of the leaders.”
The staff looked at each other, not knowing what to do, they all looked at Jia Nan, she was the team leader of the secretary’s office, if she didn’t take the lead, it was not good for them to move.
Jia Nan had reservations, she didn’t believe Du Xiao Xian would steal money, even if it was true that it did happen, she couldn’t possibly side with Meng Zi He, Bi Yi’s grudge was still alive!
“Team Leader Jia, believe me, I didn’t take Secretary Meng’s money, she framed me.” Du Xiaoxian hurriedly defended herself.
“Xiao Xian, don’t be in a hurry, things haven’t been cleared up yet,” Jia Nan intuited that Du Xiao Xian was not someone who would do such a thing.
“What do you mean you haven’t figured it out yet, the evidence is right here, people saw her pull it out of her pocket with their own eyes, can it be wrong?”
When they were at each other’s throats, someone walked in, “What are you all doing around here? Don’t you have anything to do?”
This is Gu Nianbin’s voice, Meng Zi He raised his eyebrows, the president of the Lord came just in time, human evidence and material evidence are all complete, this time Du Xiaoxian did not have good luck, right?
Jia Nan told the story, and Gu Nianbin pondered for a moment and asked Meng Zihe, “How much money do you have in total in your bag?”
“Three thousand.”
“Why are those five hundred individually tied up with leather hoops?”
“I was going to take it to pay the electric bill at noon, so I tied it up and put it separately.”
Meng Zi He looked calm and answered without a drop of water.
Gu Nianbin nodded, people are smart people, it’s just a pity that they don’t use them in the right way, but it’s very good to use her to hone Du Xiaoxian.
“Since you say the money in Du Xiaoxian’s pocket is yours, you have to prove that the five hundred dollars are really missing from your bag.”
“Of course it’s true, it’s the missing money that brought me to her.”
“Du Xiaoxian pulling out the money is what everyone saw, but you’re the only one who’s talking about the money missing from your bag, isn’t it fair to let everyone see it as well.”
“Mr. Gu is right,” Meng Zi He nodded his head, feeling that Gu Nian Bin’s words made sense, so that way, no one could suspect anything anymore, right?
So everyone walked together to Meng Zi He’s desk and watched as she opened her bag and dumped out everything inside: cosmetics, tissues, keys, wallet … Huh … Isn’t that little roll money?
Jia Nan quickly picked up, actually exactly the same as just Du Xiaoxian’s pocket, also with a leather hoop tied into a small roll, she opened and counted, and again, no more, no less than five hundred dollars!
Meng Zi He was dumbfounded, her five hundred dollars were obviously in Du Xiao Xian’s place, where did this five hundred dollars come from?
Jia Nan spoke more politely in Gu Nianbin’s presence, “Secretary Meng, it seems that you really were mistaken. Now that things are clear, I think you should apologize to Du Xiaoxian.”
Meng Zi He didn’t pay attention to Jia Nan’s words, she kept thinking: that roll of money was obviously stuffed in Du Xiaoxian’s pocket by her own hand, how come another roll of money appeared out of thin air in her bag? Where did it come from? It was too unbelievable!
No, it’s very wrong. Something must be wrong somewhere!
She suddenly thought of something and asked Du Xiaoxian, “But you said that the roll of money wasn’t yours, what explanation is there for that?”
Du Xiaoxian didn’t like to tell lies, but this was an extraordinary time, she had a bright idea and said, “It was given to me by Mr. Gu, when you asked, I forgot for a moment.”
Everyone’s gazes flicked to Gu Nianbin.
President Gu smiled inscrutably, “Yes, I gave it to Du Xiaoxian, I told her to go buy cigarettes, maybe she forgot.”
So that’s what happened. It dawned on everyone.
Meng Zi He blinked, she was completely confused, could it be that the matter of stuffing the money into Du Xiao Xian’s pocket was entirely a figment of her imagination, she hadn’t even done it yet, and she went to Du Xiao Xian to get mad at her? So the money was still well and truly in her bag. It must be like this, Mr. Gu could not possibly tell lies, nor could he help an odd-job girl to be excused, it was her own self who had been thinking about it day and night these days, so she was hallucinating.
In front of Gu Nianbin, she could only apologize to Du Xiaoxian, even though in her heart she refused a thousand times and twisted ten thousand times.
“I’m sorry, Du Xiaoxian, I was wrong about you, don’t take it personally.”
Not waiting for Du Xiaoxian to open her mouth, Gu Nianbin said, “I see that Secretary Meng is also quite sincere, tomorrow it happens to be the monthly meeting of the company, Secretary Meng will apologize to Du Xiaoxian discreetly at the meeting, this matter will be closed, do the two parties have any comments?”
He looked at Meng Zi He first, what else did Meng Zi He have to say, the president had given the word, of course she could only do as she was told.
Du Xiaoxian was looking a bit like she wanted to speak, so Gu Nianbin said, “Du Xiaoxian, what else do you have to say? I think Secretary Meng already apologized to you at the conference with great sincerity, so don’t be unreasonable.”
Du Xiaoxian opened her mouth to speak, but was interrupted by him, “If you’re not satisfied with my decision, go inside and talk to me, tell me all your grievances, and when you’re done, there’s no more anger in your heart, so come out and do your job properly.”
Du Xiaoxian wanted to say that wasn’t the case, and Gu Nianbin narrowed his eyes, “Come in with me.”
All eyes were on her, Du Xiaoxian had no choice but to follow her in.
