Chapter 681 Tongtong, give me another chance
Jiang Tong didn't expect that the person who leaked the company's secrets would be the director of the design department, Zhang Meng.
Zhang Meng is also a college classmate of Jiang Tong and Xu Miaomiao. Since Jiang Tong took over the Nantong Group, all the old classmates wanted to get close to him. Zhang Meng was one of them. She contacted Jiang Tong many times on WeChat, begging Jiang Tong to give her a chance. She would not let Jiang Tong down.
Jiang Tong was sentimental and soft-hearted. She did it for the sake of being classmates. Moreover, Zhang Meng had the ability and she trusted her very much.
"Miao Miao, please go out first. I want to ask her something alone."
After the door closed, Jiang Tong looked at Zhang Meng.
"I was surprised that the new product design was leaked, but I never thought it would be you. We were classmates, and I never thought you would betray me and the company."
Zhang Meng cried and said that she didn't want to do it either. Her husband's investment went wrong and the family was short of money. She was tempted and accepted the bribe from the Yuan family.
"If you need money, you can tell me! I can give you a raise or advance next month's salary! Obviously, I can solve all these problems."
"My husband owes me eighty, and I have no choice. Tongtong, please give me another chance, and I will make it up to you."
"How are you going to make it up? Can you afford to compensate the company for its losses? Forget it, just tell the police about it."
Hearing this, Zhang Meng was stunned, "Tongtong, are you going to send me to jail?"
"What else? You leaked company secrets, should I let you go like this?"
"Tongtong, we are classmates after all! Do you want to be so cruel to me?"
Zhang Meng knew that Jiang Tong was a soft-hearted person, so she anticipated this and kept begging for mercy.
She hurriedly talked about the past, saying that the two of them often drank together, that Zhang Meng had helped Jiang Tong with her graduation thesis, and even that Zhang Meng got married early and invited Jiang Tong to her wedding and let Jiang Tong be a bridesmaid.
"That's enough. What's the point of you saying this now? You were the one who was cruel to me first."
Jiang Tong turned around, her hands on the windowsill, clenched, without looking at Zhang Meng, she said word by word, "I can't protect you, you can keep it and tell the police."
After she finished speaking, she never spoke another word to Zhang Meng.
Zhang Meng was taken away. Seeing Zhang Meng crying, Jiang Tong also cried, and her tears fell on the windowsill.
Crying about the trust between people.
I also clearly understand that the road ahead will not be easy to walk alone.
She thought of Li Jingchen again. He had told her before that if she was too soft-hearted, she should not even think about making a lot of money. She could be soft-hearted in private, but the business world was like a battlefield. There were no friends, only interests. She could not be soft-hearted.
Jiang Tong was busy attending meetings and cleaning up the mess left by Zhang Meng.
The phone rings—
The kindergarten called to say that it was time to go home from school and no one came to pick Jiang Mingyang up!
Jiang Tong almost forgot!
She felt very guilty towards her child, so she quickly called the nanny to pick up Mingyang, as she really didn't have time to go today.
"Sister Wang, please tell Yangyang that I will be home later. Please make him something he likes to eat. Feifan is also troubled by you. Please let them go to bed early."
Jiang Tong hung up the phone.
She vowed that once the company had successfully weathered the crisis, she would spend more time with her children.
After the meeting, the company's senior executives left one after another, but Xu Miaomiao hadn't left yet, and her eyes were red.
"I have a lot of responsibility this time. I am the vice president, and I didn't do a good job. I am responsible for all the new products, and I take all the responsibility."
"Okay, it's not a question of who should take responsibility. Don't blame yourself. There are still three days until the press conference. Try to work hard and see if you can come up with a better design—"
Xu Miaomiao shook her head. "Not only do we have to rethink the design, we also have to make samples and compensate for previous orders. What should we do? We really don't have enough time."
"It's not too late, but it's not too late. The worst-case scenario is that the company goes bankrupt. That's fine."
Jiang Tong spoke calmly, but her heart was in turmoil.
She was alone and powerless. It turned out that life was really difficult when he was not around.
I feel sad... and unwilling.
Xu Miaomiao said, "Why don't we postpone the press conference? It's better to lose money than for the company to lose face. Even if it's just the loss of money, I will slowly find a way to deal with it."
Jiang Tong hesitated. All the invitations had been sent out. This was her first stop after her postpartum comeback. Was she so passive?
"The press conference cannot be postponed. We have limited funds and cannot afford to pay so much money."
"Someone is giving money, isn't he?" Xu Miaomiao's eyes lit up and she said hastily, "Li Jingchen gives 20 million yuan in child support every year."
Jiang Tong knew what Xu Miaomiao meant, so she refused. "No, that's the money he gave to the child. I won't touch that money unless it's absolutely necessary."
Xu Miaomiao said, "I know. Let's just think of it as borrowing from him. We'll return it to him after we're through with the crisis. We'll use it first—"
"No Miaomiao, it really can't."
Jiang Tong said that the money could not be touched at all.
"Okay, I respect you." Xu Miaomiao also knew Jiang Tong's stubbornness, so she nodded.
Maybe Jiang Tong no longer wants Li Jingchen's help.
Jiang Tong was indeed very stubborn. If she touched the money, Zheng Yan would look down on her, and she didn't want to do that.
"Then let's think of a solution."
"it is good."
Jiang Tong was almost busy all day and came home very late. The lights in the living room were still on and a familiar figure came into view.
"Mom," Jiang Mingyang rubbed his eyes and sat up from the sofa, "Why did you come back just now?"
Jiang Tong didn't expect that the sheep were still awake, and felt guilty. The nanny came over and said that the second one had fallen asleep, but the eldest one was still asleep!
"Really? Where's my brother?"
"Your brother went out to film today. Yangyang said that he would wait for you to come back before he went to bed." Hearing this, Jiang Tong felt even more guilty. He took off his coat, and hurried over to hug the sheep and coax him.
"I'm sorry, son. Mom is a little busy these two days. When I'm done with this period, I will definitely spend more time with you."
Jiang Mingyang sniffed and said, "Mom, Li Zi always gives us a lot of money, can you please stop working..."
Jiang Tong was stunned. She had never told her child that Li Jingchen gave him a lot of money.
Jiang Mingyang said dazedly that the last time he went to his great-grandfather's house, his second grandfather said that Mr. Li Zi must have given him a lot of money.
"So that's how it is,"
Jiang Tong said, "Your father is indeed very rich, but your mother also has to make money. There are many employees who need to be paid. They also have parents and children to support, so your mother also has to make a lot of money to pay the employees."
"Mom, I have an idea. Just let Mr. Li Zi pay everyone's salary."
"You little fool... How can this be possible?" Jiang Tong sighed and said helplessly, "Go to sleep. I'm really sorry for not picking you up today. I'll take you to kindergarten tomorrow, okay?"
Jiang Mingyang doesn't want to sleep now.
"Mom, when will Mr. Li Zi come back? I must call him today to ask why he hasn't come back yet."
