The Personal Bodyguard of the Female CEO
Chapter 735 - 735 733 Scapegoat

735: Chapter 733 Scapegoat 735: Chapter 733 Scapegoat “Director, although I have no way to deal with the current situation, I can save the entire business team.” Just when everyone was clueless, Xie Tianjiao, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

“Go on.”

“Sacrifice the pawn to save the chariot!”

As soon as Xie Tianjiao’s words left her mouth, the complexions of all the salespeople involved with the business changed drastically—they all knew what she meant.

The so-called sacrifice of the pawn to save the chariot meant making one salesperson take on all the responsibility.

When it came time for punishment, only that one person would suffer the consequences.

Others might face secondary liability but certainly wouldn’t be fired.

Lin Xiao was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, “There’s no other choice now.

I hope someone will come forward to take the responsibility.

When the time comes, I will have all employees donate money to her.”

Lin Xiao’s gaze swept over everyone, but he found that no one was willing to step forward.

Joking aside, if you took on all the responsibility, you were bound to be dismissed.

Getting a job at Shiyan Group was extremely difficult in Jiangdu City, and no one was willing to give up such a position.

“Someone must take the blame for this incident.

If no one steps forward, it might not be just one person who gets dismissed, but a whole group.

Since no one is stepping forward, then I’ll have to pick from those who have been with the company for the shortest time,” Xie Tianjiao said coldly.

Hearing Xie Tianjiao’s words, almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the only three people who had been at the company the shortest time were Wang Dadong, Li Wen, and an intern.

The intern certainly couldn’t shoulder such a heavy responsibility, so that left only two choices: Wang Dadong or Li Wen.

“I suggest we let Wang Dadong take the fall for this.” Xie Tianjiao’s cold gaze shifted to Wang Dadong, who was lying on his desk, sleeping soundly, and she said.

One had to say, Xie Tianjiao’s ability to mix personal grudges with public duties was quite strong.

She probably had Wang Dadong in mind for the scapegoat when she proposed this solution.

Only then did people realize that there was still someone asleep.

Lin Xiao was speechless.

This guy was really too brazen.

At a time like this, he could still sleep.

However, Lin Xiao definitely couldn’t let Wang Dadong take the fall for this.

After all, Wang Dadong had connections with the president.

“Wang Dadong won’t do, pick someone else.” Lin Xiao frowned and said.

“Why?” Xie Tianjiao was extremely puzzled.

“No reason, I said no and that means no.” Lin Xiao frowned and said, without giving further explanation.

Since Wang Dadong was not an option, that left only Li Wen.

All eyes fell on Li Wen.

“No, I don’t want this!” Seeing everyone’s eyes on her, Li Wen immediately trembled.

She had finally managed to work at Shiyan Group after much difficulty.

“No, I don’t want to be the scapegoat, it’s not my fault…”

“Xiao Wen, please, you know we all have families to support, my child just turned one month old, I can’t lose this job.”

“Xiao Wen, please be kind, if I lose my job, the only thing left for me is to jump off a building.”

“Xiao Wen…”

All employees began to pour their grievances to Xiao Wen.

“Xiao Wen, you have to understand that if you don’t take responsibility, in the end, you will still be fired, and also all these salespeople involved in the business will be fired.

Even I, as the manager and director, will be implicated.

If you proactively take responsibility, although you will be dismissed, we will pool together some money for you.

After all, your current salary at Shiyan Group isn’t that high,” Xie Tianjiao persuaded.

Li Wen clenched her teeth tightly, teardrops swirling in her eyes.

Working at Shiyan Group had always been her dream, and after great difficulty, her dream had come true.

But now, she was facing such a predicament.

And this matter had very little to do with her.

“How about this, Li Wen, if you’re willing to sacrifice for everyone, I am willing to personally give you 50,000 yuan,” Lin Xiao said, somewhat reluctantly upon seeing the tears in Li Wen’s eyes.

“I can also personally give you 20,000 yuan,” Xie Tianjiao added.

“I will contribute 10,000 yuan.”

“…..”

When it came to putting up money, everyone was quite eager.

After all, it was more cost-effective to pay than to lose their jobs.

In less than a few minutes, nearly 200,000 yuan had been pooled together.

“Xiao Wen, that’s already 200,000 yuan.

Even if you worked at Shiyan for five years, you might not be able to earn this much,” Xie Tianjiao said.

“Yeah, Xiao Wen, please save us all.”

Although 200,000 yuan was tempting, it was her dream at stake.

Was she really supposed to give up her dream just like that?

Xiao Wen was unwilling, very unwilling, but now, she had no choice.

She had been pushed to the forefront of the storm.

Even if she didn’t take responsibility, she would still likely be dismissed, bringing down many others with her.

Xiao Wen, who was inherently kind-hearted, faced the pleading looks of so many people and ultimately could only nod her head, yet the tears would not stop falling.

“Alright then, it’s settled.

Xiao Wen, go see the president now and take the blame for everyone,” Xie Tianjiao said with a sigh of relief, finally having found a scapegoat.

Should the responsibility for this incident truly be investigated, it was Xie Tianjiao who had the greatest blame to bear.

This is how it happened.

Huang Fu’s company had always been deeply cooperative with Shiyan Group, bringing in tens of millions or even close to a hundred million yuan in profit annually, making it one of the few major clients of Shiyan.

But the man had a flaw—he was rather lecherous.

And Xie Tianjiao, who knew Huang Fu well, would always find a few beautiful girls to entertain him before discussing business.

This time was no exception.

Xie Tianjiao originally wanted to send one of the female salespeople from the company to do so, as it would save a lot of money.

But no salesperson was willing, so she paid two women instead, falsely claiming they were employees of Shiyan Group.

She had done this before and nothing had ever gone wrong, but this time, the dice had been cast badly, and Huang Fu got swept up by the police.

Though Huang Fu wasn’t under strict marital control, if he got divorced over this incident, being at fault, he would definitely lose a considerable amount of his assets.

The most critical problem was that if his wife made a scene, it would also have a huge impact on the company’s stock market.

If the stock value dropped, his wealth would depreciate as well.

And now his wife already knew about the matter, because the police had sent the arrest warrant to her, and she was looking for him all over the world.

With no other options, Huang Fu could only hide in Shiyan Group and declared, if Shiyan Group couldn’t protect him, he would never do business with Shiyan Group again!
