Chapter 874 Oh! What a coincidence! We both lost our memories (56)
Xu Jiaqi looked up at Du Ruhai and said with a half-smile: “You are not saying anything nice!”
As they are all smart people, Xu Jiaqi can certainly hear the hidden meaning in the other person's words.
Du Ruhai also smiled without saying anything, then walked out of Xu Jiaqi's office.
To be fair, Xu Jiaqi came from Cao Chendong's team, so she is still a little grateful for his previous training.
But just because she thinks so doesn't mean others think so too.
After all, Cao Chendong has not been very popular in the company over the years.
Otherwise, the people who started the company with him wouldn't have been so obsessed with bringing Cao Chendong down.
Soon the news that Cao Chendong had mental problems spread in the company. Many people did not believe it was true, but once the news spread, it had to be dealt with.
"He is only a senior partner now, but you still seem dissatisfied!" The biggest advantage of communicating with smart people is that the other party can always understand what you say, just like Xu Jiaqi said to Du Ruhai with a headache at this moment.
"Deputy Manager Cao's position has nothing to do with me, and I didn't spread the news that he was admitted to the psychiatric department." Du Ruhai shrugged, "You know, hospitalization is expensive!
Our company's benefits are quite good. Hospitalization expenses can be reimbursed at our discretion. A few days ago, Deputy Manager Cao's mother took the invoice to the administration department to claim reimbursement.
Coincidentally, there are some medications for mental illness on the medication list, and Deputy Manager Cao's mother also brought a hospitalization summary that describes his condition in detail."
"The finance department doesn't like to talk too much, otherwise she would have quit long ago." Xu Jiaqi certainly didn't believe his one-sided story. "This matter couldn't have been leaked by the finance department."
"Of course!" Du Ruhai said with regret, "Who told you that when Mother Cao went to claim reimbursement, the people there also happened to be going to the finance department to claim reimbursement! Wouldn't that spread?"
Xu Jiaqi sighed and said, "I know you were frustrated in the group back then, and he was always suppressing you. It's normal for you to want revenge, but this time it's a bit too much.
If this incident is confirmed, he will likely face a ban from the entire industry if he leaves the company."
"It's okay. Even if he quits the company, he still has 20% of the shares. What's wrong with not having to worry about food and drink for the rest of his life?" Du Ruhai felt that even if Cao Chendong left the company, he would not be in a desperate situation. "Mr. Xu, you should know better than me.
This is an era of diversified information. If you rely solely on technology and ignore other things, you will eventually become obsolete."
For technical people, there is basically no limit to their achievements, so the biggest fear is complacency.
But Cao Chendong just has that kind of personality, so Xu Jiaqi didn't say anything else.
Finally, the human resources department contacted Cao Chendong and asked him if he needed to continue his vacation.
"Deputy Manager Cao, you don't have to rush back to the company. Your health is more important!" This time, the contact finally got through to Cao Chendong. "Your mother has told us that you need to rest for a while. Don't worry, the company's business will be fine."
When Cao Chendong received this call, he was completely stunned. He didn't understand why the news of his hospitalization was spread to the company, but from the other party's words, he could hear that this matter had nothing to do with his mother.
At this moment, Cao's mother walked into the ward with the payment slip, her face full of joy. Seeing her son leaning against the bedside, she said with a smile: "Xiaodong, your company is really humane. I went there to get the medical expenses reimbursed, and they even reimbursed my train ticket.
No wonder so many people want to start companies and do business. Look, these medical expenses can be reimbursed!"
Cao Chendong's face was ashen. He had already been discharged from the emergency room and was staying in a psychiatric room, taking psychiatric drugs.
If such a list were to be seen, his business would almost certainly be devastated.
Seeing her son remained silent, Cao's mother asked again, "Xiaodong, what's wrong with you? Wouldn't it be nice not to take advantage of the opportunity?"
"Taking advantage, taking advantage!" Cao Chendong could no longer tolerate his mother's narrow-mindedness. "Do I need you to drink or eat? If you don't have enough money for the hospitalization, you can ask me. Such a private illness, but you let everyone in my company know about it. What are you thinking?"
"It's your own company, and they're all your employees. So what if they find out?" Cao's mother still believed she was not wrong. "You're the boss, how dare they talk behind your back?"
Others might say that he couldn't be sure, but this time he really delivered the most unfavorable evidence to his opponent, and he didn't know if he could get away with it.
He couldn't be so depressed any longer, he had to cheer up.
After applying for discharge from the hospital, Cao Chendong took his mother back to S City.
Without extending my vacation, I adjusted my status and returned to the company on the third day after returning, and urged the administration to arrange my office.
I thought this would eliminate the negative effects.
But for more than half a month, no one received one or two decent business plans. In the past, he was the best in the company in terms of business capabilities, and he always handled big cases. At that time, if you wanted to ask him to handle a problem, you had to ask him at least a month in advance.
The contrast was so great that Cao Chendong went straight to Xu Jiaqi's office: "Xu Jiaqi, at least I have taught you before, there is no need for you to suppress me by any means like this!"
Xu Jiaqi put down the pen in her hand and looked at Cao Chendong quietly for a while before saying, "Deputy Manager Cao, you still don't understand women. I am already the CEO in name only. Why should I suppress you?
What's more, you don't have a good relationship with several directors of our company who hold the majority of the shares. Is there any need for me to suppress you? If I have that time, I might as well take on more business projects!"
Seeing Cao Chendong remained silent, Xu Jiaqi continued, "When the wall falls, everyone pushes it. In the company, you have always been unpopular, and you treat people harshly and without regard for others. Have you forgotten how you fell out with that person?
He has always been eyeing your position, and even though it's my turn now, it doesn't mean he doesn't hate you anymore!"
"It really wasn't you?" Seeing Xu Jiaqi nod, Cao Chendong changed the subject, "Okay, I believe you. Besides, I heard that you have a lot of projects on hand recently. Give me one or two. You can't finish them all by yourself anyway."
Xu Jiaqi was almost amused by Cao Chendong's self-righteousness: "Deputy Manager Cao, I used to think that your hospitalization in the neurology department might be due to bed adjustment or because of too much pressure. Now it seems that you are really sick!
Why should I give you the business I negotiated? If you want a case, find a way yourself."
Cao Chendong never thought that he would hear Xu Jiaqi speak so rudely to him one day. He walked out of Xu Jiaqi's office in anger and met Du Ruhai head-on.
"Hello, Deputy Manager Cao!" Du Ruhai smiled politely.
"What are you laughing at!" Cao Chendong, as usual, belittled Du Ruhai with his words. "A senior white-collar worker in a high-level company, smiling like an idiot every day, is it good-looking?"
"Looks good! Clients all say I'm approachable!" Du Ruhai didn't tolerate him any longer and countered, "Then why isn't Deputy Manager Cao smiling? Is he naturally shy? Or is he just too stressed out and can't smile?"
