So Pure, So Flirtatious Chapter 1359 - The Liu Family’s Situation / Deleting the Evidence

Chapter 1359: The Liu Family’s Situation / Deleting the Evidence
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Xu Xiaobin left the Huihai Business Club and did not stop. He drove directly to Haicheng. Xu Xiaobin felt a little funny driving the car that Liu Jifei provided for him. Driving Liu Jifei’s car to report Liu Jifei, this was very new and odd.
However, the old Toyota that Liu Jifei lent to Xu Xiaobin was really not at all appealing to his eyes, and his ill feelings about Liu Jifei had not reduced at all. His borrowing this car was nothing more than making it convenient for him to go and sign the contract. This kind of car was actually a bit shameful, so Xu Xiaobin would rather take a taxi and not drive. However, now he was in a hurry, so he had to drive this car.
Looking at the magnificent building in front of him, Xu Xiaobin sighed; he was also a child of the Liu Family. Some people were leaders at the headquarters when they were born, but he was appointed a post at the office. It was entirely different in both office environment and salary.
After Xu Xiaobin went out to negotiate vigorously, Liu Jifei took all the credit and could enter the group to be a middle-level leader. However, he still stayed at the office only so that he could be promoted to the branch company general manager!
However, Xu Xiaobin could let this pass; the most annoying thing was that Liu Jifei did not treat him as a partner of the same level! Liu Jifei just used him as a monkey, and not even a monkey; he was only treated as a fool.
Not only that but after signing the contract, Liu Jifei bypassed him and tricked the other party. Although this could be said to be for the benefit of the group, aren’t you pushing me to the fire pit? The contract was signed, and you left, but you left me here to continue to work with the Ming Yang Security Company. When others have grievances, they would all come to me!
Moreover, what Xu Xiaobin couldn’t tolerate most was that Liu Jifei actually took the opportunity when he was with Jing Xiaolu to push down 1 [1] Wang Lixia. You should not covet your friend’s wife. It seemed that this Liu Jifei never regarded him as a friend, but a tool that could be used.
Xu Xiaobin also thought about it. Since you are not benevolent, don’t blame me for being unjust. You can’t blame me for going to approach Liu Jiangyan in the group to tell on you.
The car was parked. Xu Xiaobin touched the copy of the contract in his pocket and Wang Lixia’s cell phone. Xu Xiaobin walked into the Jiangyan Group’s building resolutely.
“Hello, sir. May I help you?” As soon as he entered the door, Xu Xiaobin was stopped by the receptionist at the lobby’s front desk.
Xu Xiaobin smiled bitterly for a bit. My position as an office manager is insignificant in the eyes of others. I only come back once a year to report on the year-end debriefing report. It is forgivable that these receptionists don’t know me.
“I am Xu Xiaobin, manager of the Song Jiang office,” Xu Xiaobin said as he took out a company identification card from his pocket and handed it to the receptionist. “I have important things to see the chairman.”
“It turns out to be Manager Xu.” The receptionist’s face showed a slight smile. Although she did not take the identification card in Xu Xiaobin’s hands and check it, this card was specially made by the group. Therefore, what Xu Xiaobin said was true.
The receptionist took Xu Xiaobin’s identification card, swiped it on the computer, and Xu Xiaobin’s information appeared immediately on the computer screen. The receptionist compared it with Xu Xiaobin. After confirming that there was no error, she returned the identification card to Xu Xiaobin. “Manager Xu, I’m sorry. I’ve delayed your time. Please understand.”
“It’s okay.” Xu Xiaobin quickly waved his hand. The lady at the reception was polite to him, but it did not mean that she was afraid of him. It was only for the formulation of the working system. He was only a small office manager, so his position in the group was very low. Over here, Xu Xiaobin did not dare to put on airs. “I have important things to report to Chairman Liu…”
“Do you have an appointment?” asked the receptionist.
“No, but it is an urgent matter, and I must report to the chairman immediately,” said Xu Xiaobin.
“Alright, I will ask and see if the chairman is free now.” The receptionist smiled and nodded. She picked up the phone and dialed a number. “This is Xiao Li at the front desk. Xu Xiaobin, the manager at the Song Jiang office, came. He has important things to report to the chairman… Okay, I will be waiting for your call.”
“How is it?” Xu Xiaobin asked anxiously.
“I called the secretary’s office. They will see if the chairman is free to see you,” said the receptionist.
“Okay, thank you.” Xu Xiaobin nodded and waited.
After a while, the phone at the front desk rang, and the receptionist picked up the phone. After a few words, she hung up and said to Xu Xiaobin with a smile, “Manager Xu, I’m sorry to let you wait a long time. President Liu and Chairman Liu went to the Donghai branch company early this morning. It will take them about a week to come back. Now, Vice President Liu is around. What do you say?”
Xu Xiaobin naturally knew who this Vice President Liu was; it was Liu Zhenan, the eldest son of Liu Jiangyan’s third son, Liu Hua. Thinking of this, Xu Xiaobin had some uncertainties. If he was facing Liu Jiangyan, he had a hundred percent confidence that Liu Jiangyan would definitely let him take charge and would not easily let Liu Jifei go. Still, it was hard to say for Liu Zhenan.
Everyone knew that Liu Jiangyan’s second and third generations were struggling for power in the company, especially the few in the third generation, which had already become heated.
The internal power struggle between Liu Hua’s two sons, Liu Zhenan and Liu Zheqiao, was very strong. Liu Huamei, the daughter of a boss, and Liu Heng, also played a pivotal role in the group.
Although Liu Jiangyan knew this, he did not interfere. As long as these children were not overdoing it, he would not intervene, but he watched them fight each other quietly. This could be considered as a test to the heirs.
It seemed that Liu Hua’s eldest son, Liu Zhenan, had won, but Liu Jiangyan was not very optimistic about Liu Zhenan. Liu Zhenan was able to sit in the vice president’s position because of the advantage of his age. He entered the company several years earlier than Liu Zheqiao and Liu Huamei. With the help of Liu Hua, he took the position of vice president.
On the contrary, Liu Jiangyan was quite optimistic about his youngest granddaughter, Liu Huamei. At the age of fourteen, she entered Yanjing University. At the age of fifteen, her father, Liu Heng, had a car accident, so Liu Huamei suspended her schooling and joined the company. She went from a small marketing manager to the position of Financial Director. Although the shadow of Liu Jiangyan supported her from behind, even fools knew that if there were no real capabilities, Liu Jiangyan would not support her.
Although Liu Zhenan and Liu Zheqiao were dissatisfied with the addition of Liu Huamei, they repeatedly suggested to their father, Liu Hua, that they should crowd her out. However, Liu Hua forcefully rejected it.
Liu Hua was not stupid. His old man was not dead yet. If he made it so obvious now, wouldn’t that old man be vigilant? If by any chance, he was relieved of his duties, the gains would not make up for the losses.
However, although Liu Zhenan and Liu Zheqiao were also fighting each other, they were unanimous in the face of Liu Huamei. If Liu Huamei could be dismissed, they would not mind joining forces once.
Even though the complicated situation of the group was not something an ancillary relative like Xu Xiaobin could participate in, it was also very clear. If I went to Liu Zhenan, can he help me?
Xu Xiaobin had some dilemmas. However, Liu Jiangyan went to Donghai and would only come back in a week. I can’t wait for him for a week here, right? In the event that Liu Jifei would first cry thief, then I would lose my chance. Then, who knows how things would progress? As he thought of this, Xu Xiaobin could only go to Liu Zhenan and hope that he could help him.
“Okay, please help me arrange it,” Xu Xiaobin said to the receptionist.
Chapter 1374: Deleting the Evidence
“Little Xu, please sit.” Although Liu Zhenan was very polite, the tone of his speech was accompanied by an arrogance. However, it couldn’t be blamed. He was now the vice president of the group, only under his grandpa, Liu Jiangyan, and his father, Liu Hua. As for these relatives of the Liu Family, he seemed to be the unreachable sky, so there was no need to please them.
In Liu Zhenan’s view, Xu Xiaobin was of a different surname. There was not even a need to rope him in. Xu Xiaobin could never enter the core of the group.
“Vice President Liu, I am here to report to you.” Xu Xiaobin secretly sighed. We are all human. Why is the gap so big? If I were born in the orthodox Liu Family, I might not probably be worse than Liu Zhenan.
Liu Zhenan’s brow suddenly furrowed, and he was somewhat disgusted by how Xu Xiaobin addressed him. Generally speaking, the lower-level people, to respect their superior, would remove the word “vice” in front of the position and call them “President something.” It was only possible to add the word “vice” when the same level or superior was addressing someone of a lower level.
In fact, other employees within the group also addressed Liu Zhenan as “President Liu.” Of course, Liu Zheqiao and Liu Huamei were exceptions, but they addressed Liu Zhenan as “Big Brother,” and Liu Zhenan’s father and Grandfather Liu addressed him directly as “Zhenan.”
Although there was no difference in the mouth, the impression of Xu Xiaobin in his heart was significantly reduced. Liu Zhenan felt that this was a person who had no eyesight. If Xu Xiaobin knew that Liu Zhenan was offended by such an address, he would definitely secretly complain endlessly. Liu Zhenan is too narrow-minded, right?
“Please sit down.” Liu Zhenan pointed to the sofa on the side and spoke without batting an eyelid.
“Okay, thank you, Vice President Liu.” Xu Xiaobin sat on the sofa.
“Just say what you have to say. I still have a lot of work to deal with here.” Liu Zhenan heard another “Vice President Liu” again, and his heart was even more uncomfortable. His attitude toward Xu Xiaobin became plain.
“Vice President Liu, this is the case. Our Song Jiang office has teamed up with the local Ming Yang Security Company to set up an escort company. You should know about this, right?” asked Xu Xiaobin.
Liu Zhenan nodded. Of course, he knew; Liu Jifei had looked for him because of this cooperation and expressed his sincerity. Therefore, Liu Zhenan set his heart on it and let this matter progress smoothly.
“I know about this. Why? Has the cooperation encountered a problem?” Liu Zhenan frowned. According to Liu Jifei’s report, today should be the date of signing. Why did Xu Xiaobin suddenly come to Haicheng?
“Yes, it has encountered a problem!” Xu Xiaobin nodded affirmatively. “Vice President Liu, please take a look at this contract first.”
Liu Zhenan took and looked at the contract. In the beginning, he didn’t feel anything, but after seeing some highlighted details, his eyes brightened up. “This contract is very good! It is very beneficial to us!”
“Very good?” Xu Xiaobin broke into a sweat. He thought, You are looking at the interests of your own side, so naturally it is very good; but have you considered the interests of others?
When he sensed that Xu Xiaobin’s tone had some rhetoric, Liu Zhenan frowned. “What? Is there anything wrong?”
“Vice President Liu, Liu Jifei used an unusual means to deceive the other party to sign this contract. The other side went back and noticed that something was wrong, so they came and looked for me with the contract!” Xu Xiaobin said with a bitter smile.
“Unusual means? What do you mean?” Liu Zhenan looked at the contract. “Is this not the signature of the other party? Is it forged?”
“That’s not the case. This is the case…” Xu Xiaobin told how Liu Jifei used incense during the signing of the contract.
Like listening to mythology, Liu Zhenan asked Xu Xiaobin, “Is what you talked about true? Since you know that he used some incense to trick the other party into signing a contract, why didn’t you stop it?”
“I didn’t know at the time. Liu Jifei did it behind my back…” Xu Xiaobin said, “I also learned the truth after the other party looked for me.”
“So, this is not something you saw with your own eyes, but hearsay? Who told you this? Liu Jifei?” Liu Zhenan had even more opinions on Xu Xiaobin now. The contract has been signed, and obviously it is beneficial to us. You aren’t helping your own company, but instead, help the other party to talk. What is your intention? Also, you come over here to report on Liu Jifei behind his back, which is obviously destroying unity.
“No, it is what I inferred,” said Xu Xiaobin.
“Xu Xiaobin, you are also an office manager. Can you be more mature? You infer? How do you infer?” Liu Zhenan raised his eyebrows and changed the thread of discussion. “Did you accept some sort of benefit from the Ming Yang Company? Why are you speaking for them?”
“It’s not like this!” Xu Xiaobin was shocked and quickly waved his hand. “Vice President Liu, I have evidence here!”
“What evidence?” asked Liu Zhenan.
“I have a recording of what Liu Jifei said on my mobile phone. You will understand when you listen to it.” Xu Xiaobin took out Wang Lixia’s phone from his pocket, which recorded Liu Jifei’s conversation, found the recording, and pressed the play button.
“– You think about it. If you become my lover, can I treat you badly–” Liu Jifei’s voice came from the phone.
“What is this?” Liu Zhenan immediately frowned.
“Vice President Liu, you should listen to it first.” Xu Xiaobin saw that Liu Zhenan was somewhat intolerant and quickly explained, “There is an explanation later.”
Liu Zhenan nodded and listened patiently. He could still hear Liu Jifei’s voice, but when he heard Wang Lixia talking, he couldn’t help but ask, “Who is this woman?”
“She… is my girlfriend, Wang Lixia!” Xu Xiaobin clenched his teeth and said somewhat resentfully, “Vice President Liu, you have to give me justice. Liu Jifei used incense to dominate over my girlfriend… ”
Liu Zhenan did not answer. Listening to the dialogue between Liu Jifei and Wang Lixia, he secretly became grave. It seems that there is indeed something like this incense.
However, Liu Jifei was one of his men who had just relied on him. Also, if the negotiation this time were successful, Liu Zhenan would arrange for him to be in the position of Deputy Director of Personnel or Deputy Director of Finance in the company.
These two positions, one was held by Liu Zheqiao, and the other was held by Liu Huamei, who impeded Liu Zhenan’s work. This time, Liu Jifei was relying on him, which was an opportunity. Liu Zhenan believed that with the performance of Liu Jifei’s partnership as a stepping stone and a recommendation from him, his father should agree to his wishes.
Liu Zhenan’s business approach was nothing special. He could sit in this position because he relied entirely on his father’s merits and age. After he took the position of vice president, he did not do much and spent most of the time competing for power with his brother and sister. Therefore, when Xu Xiaobin wanted to report Liu Jifei, his first thought was that Xu Xiaobin was a dissident and could not be kept around!
“Oh, so this incense thing does exist.” Liu Zhenan said faintly, “However, what justice do you want me to give you? This contract is obviously beneficial to our company. You are also one of the heroes.”
“Liu Jifei dominated my girlfriend. I want an answer to it!” Xu Xiaobin said excitedly.
“Oh, this thing, I have heard the recording. Your girlfriend is also not someone good. She became Liu Jifei’s mistress; it’s a voluntary matter. How can I give you justice? You are not married, and neither is she; love is free!” Liu Zhenan smiled a little and clicked the delete button. “This kind of thing destroys the unity within the company. It’s better to delete it!”
“Don’t!” Xu Xiaobin grabbed the phone, but hopelessly saw a few words on the phone screen, “The recording file was deleted!”
“You!” Xu Xiaobin’s eyes were spurting fire. He didn’t expect Liu Zhenan not to help him but even removed the evidence. Xu Xiaobin pointed at Liu Zhenan, his whole body shaking. “Why did you delete it?”
“Okay, Xiaobin, don’t be agitated.” Liu Zhenan put on an earnest attitude. “I deleted it for your own good! It doesn’t serve any benefit to you for dragging this matter. What Grandfather hates most is internal strife. If you use this matter that is obviously voluntary as your evidence, Grandfather will definitely have an opinion on you. Then, you can’t even keep the position as the office manager!”
Liu Zhenan’s approachable tone made Xu Xiaobin slightly calm down from his agitated behavior. He looked somewhat suspiciously at Liu Zhenan. “Really?”
“Why do I need to lie to you?” Liu Zhenan smiled bitterly. “Take my own situation as an example…”
