Chapter 185: I'll give you a chance to tell the truth

Lu Qiao took the tickets and flipped through them one by one.

Then she went to look at the accounts registered, with detailed accounts and general accounts, all recorded quite clearly.

The fountain pen writing was good, and the Arabic numerals were also beautiful.

It's a pity that a person with such a personality really isn't suitable for the finance office.

Deputy Director Huang was a bit anxious. No need to guess, it must be Lu Lu Qiaoge's negligence, trusting the people in the finance office too much. She should have asked for a receipt as proof after reconciling the accounts.

The Xiang Yang Food Factory had such a big problem in its first month of reconciliation. Even if the neighborhood committee hid it, the people from the department store would go out and talk about it.

Old Huang and Old Hu thought the same, feeling they were too arrogant and let go too much. Lu Lu Qiaoge was young and inexperienced, but they weren't, so how could they not care or ask? This was their responsibility.

But the matter had already happened, and no matter who they blamed, it wouldn't help.

What was important was, what to do about this money now?

If they wanted this payment for goods, they had to tell the truth to the department store. If the other party acknowledged the account, then they would settle the account according to the bottom copies they held. But if the other party didn't acknowledge it and didn't pay without the tickets, then they could only admit their bad luck.

Old Hu frowned and asked: "Who else was in the finance office when the tickets were handed over?"

Xiao Liu said: "Accountant Shen and the cashier went to handle things, so only I was in the finance office."

Then she added: "I was busy, so I told Lu Qiao to come back tomorrow. Lu Qiao got angry, saying I didn't look up to her. She was a factory director now, and she came to reconcile accounts in person, yet I didn't give her face."

"I didn't argue with her, although I was very angry because I was really busy doing accounts at the time. I didn't say a word, and she scolded me for a long time in the finance office. Seeing I didn't pay attention to her, she threw the tickets on the table and left without even asking for a receipt. Oh, she went to see her partner."

"The tickets were left on the table, and when Hu Ze came to reconcile accounts, he said something was wrong, that it was short by two hundred-plus. Then this matter became a big deal. Director Hu, I suggest calling the security section to investigate me, or you can search the finance office, or even search my house, or report it to the public security bureau. Anyway, it's not my fault, and I have a clear conscience."

Xiao Liu was usually someone who could talk, and at this time, she looked like she was in the right and wouldn't let go.

Looking at it this way, she seemed to have no problems at all.

Because she had a clear conscience and wasn't afraid of being investigated.

She was open and aboveboard, which made the silent Lu Qiao look guilty.

Several people were anxious for Lu Qiao.

Including Sister Qiao and Sister Hua standing in the corridor, they were all breaking into a cold sweat for Lu Qiao.

There was no way to prove this.

Deputy Director Huang said: "Lu Lu Qiaoge, is what Xiao Liu just said true? Did you scold her?"

Lu Qiao glanced at the triumphant Xiao Liu and suddenly said seriously: "Xiao Liu, I'll give you a chance to tell the truth, because I have a soft heart and really can't bear to see girls crying."

As soon as this was said, for some reason, the calm Lu Qiao made Old Hu suddenly not anxious anymore.

He even pulled a chair and sat down.

Accountant Shen looked at Lu Qiao: "What do you mean by this? You really can't figure out the situation. We are talking about the problem of lost tickets, and you are rambling on, isn't this delaying everyone's time?"

Xiao Liu saw Accountant Shen speaking for her, so she felt triumphant, but then remembered the words just now and mocked: "That's right, Lu Qiao, is there any point in rambling? Now we are talking about how to make up for the loss after the tickets are lost, and how you should bear this responsibility?"

Lu Qiao smiled slightly: "Look, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it, so I can't help it."

Xiao Liu's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Lu Qiao suspiciously.

Could it be that she had some evidence in her hand?

That shouldn't be.

Those tickets were swallowed by herself, and this kind of ticket is in duplicate.

One copy for the department store, one copy for the neighborhood committee finance office.

Xiao Liu gritted her teeth and looked at Lu Qiao. It had reached this point and she still had this attitude; it made her so angry.

Lu Qiao looked at the two directors standing there, then looked at Accountant Shen, and said sincerely: "First of all, I admit my mistake to the leaders. I shouldn't have trusted the comrade in our own finance office unilaterally. I should have asked Xiao Liu to issue a receipt on the spot."

"Even if it's the same unit, when it involves money, it must be precise, and there absolutely cannot be a single slip. I will definitely take it as a warning and remember today's lesson!"

This sounded very wrong.

Xiao Liu's eyes widened and she was about to speak, but was stopped by Lu Qiao, who said sarcastically: "Comrade Engineer Liu Jing, you'd better not open your mouth. Every time you open your mouth, it's nonsense, purely wasting everyone's time."

"Since the food factory was established, because it involves finance, it has increased your workload, and you have always had many complaints about me. I can understand this; after all, you've been used to being idle on weekdays, and no one can stand it when the workload increases."

"So my attitude toward you is to avoid you as much as possible and try not to have direct conflicts with you. No matter what, we are in the same unit and the same department, so I still have a sense of the big picture."

"The current situation is that I have no evidence to prove that I gave all the tickets to you, and I didn't scold you."

"But Comrade Engineer Liu Jing, can you prove that you didn't destroy the tickets and lie just to frame me?"

Lu Qiao was composed, just like usual.

Her tone and eyes made Xiao Liu panic inside.

It seemed she couldn't control the situation at all, and Lu Qiao didn't care or fear at all.

Lu Qiao wouldn't give her a chance to speak either, and continued: "I can say what you said too, for example... I came to find you yesterday, and you were the only one in the finance office. You suddenly closed the finance door tightly, took off your clothes, and sang and danced in front of me, scaring me into throwing the tickets on the desk and running away."

The finance office was suddenly silent.

It seemed even the sound of heartbeats couldn't be heard. Everyone stared at Lu Qiao with disbelief.

Engineer Liu Jing opened her mouth wide and finally shouted desperately: "There's no such thing at all, you're talking nonsense..."

"Look, who can't talk nonsense?" Lu Qiao continued: "Engineer Liu Jing, you ate or burned the tickets to frame me, and this can't be found by witnesses either."

"But it's not easy for our food factory to earn some money. Since we started, the workers who have been working hard day and night haven't received a penny of their wages yet."

"How could it be ruined in the hands of a shameless villain like you?"

"Fortunately, I trust the neighborhood committee's finance office but don't trust the department store's finance office."

Lu Qiao took out a stack of tickets from her satchel, placed them on the table, and said slowly: "Passing by the department store on the way back, I told Team Leader Song that although we don't have our own finance office, we still want to keep a copy as a base. I asked Team Leader Song to help me reissue a copy according to her bottom copy, and we went to the finance office to stamp it. Director, Accountant, you all come and check the authenticity, and if it's correct, enter it into the account!"
