Chapter 751: 746. Shifting Hatred (Please Subscribe and Vote)
Jiao Zhen understood that by doing this, Zhang Ran was protecting his status within the team, and even protecting his prestige in the company.
Zhang Ran saw the look in Jiao Zhen's eyes and smiled at him.
Since Jiao Zhen was able to take the initiative to expose this matter and even proactively deliver the materials, it proved that Jiao Zhen himself had no issues and was still the same Jiao Zhen.
Therefore, Zhang Ran could not let Jiao Zhen down; since Jiao Zhen could consider things for Zhang Ran, Zhang Ran would naturally consider things for him as well.
Gu Fei's tone became increasingly serious, "Mr. Zhang, I have discovered that some high-level executives within the company are colluding in secret with suppliers, and many middle-level managers are harming the company's interests. These are the materials; please take a look."
As he spoke, Gu Fei handed the materials in his hand to Zhang Ran.
Zhang Ran took them and looked them over; these materials were the same ones he had given to Gu Fei last night, so he was naturally clear about them.
However, after glancing at them for a moment, he was slightly stunned; there were some things in here that were not there last night, which were clearly prepared by Gu Fei himself.
Zhang Ran looked at Gu Fei, then looked at Liu Guohua, and began to smile.
How truly interesting!
Liu Guohua felt a bit hair-raising under Zhang Ran's gaze; if he didn't understand by now that Gu Fei was targeting him to stir up trouble, he would be a fool.
No wonder Gu Fei had that demeanor just now; it was clearly prepared well in advance.
Zhang Ran noncommittally put away the materials and said to Gu Fei, "Did you collect all these materials?"
"Yes."
"Is the content inside all true?"
"Absolutely true!"
Zhang Ran asked these two questions clearly for the benefit of the Jiao Zhen Team, that is, for people like Geng Yichang.
The others didn't think much of it, but Geng Yichang looked at Jiao Zhen with a complex expression, and then didn't say anything more.
Zhang Ran's expression suddenly turned ugly; he slammed the table hard and sternly demanded of Jiao Zhen, "Jiao Zhen, is this your team?"
After finishing, he fiercely threw the materials in his hand in front of Jiao Zhen!
The others were all startled into a shiver, while Jiao Zhen remained unmoved, only sighing slightly in his heart.
It was hard on Zhang Ran, still acting for his sake at a time like this!
After Jiao Zhen finished reading the materials, especially when he saw the one Gu Fei had prepared separately, he sighed even more in his heart, and at the same time, he knew that Liu Guohua no longer had any chance.
In fact, Jiao Zhen had originally intended to stand up himself and then plead for Liu Guohua, not asking Zhang Ran to let Liu Guohua off or pretend he hadn't seen it, but at least not to take him to court.
But clearly, that opportunity was gone now.
Zhang Ran seemed to have guessed his thoughts, so he prevented such a thing from happening in time.
After Jiao Zhen finished reading, he had nothing to say and just responded with silence.
Zhang Ran scolded Jiao Zhen a few more times, then immediately pointed his spearhead at Liu Guohua.
"Liu Guohua, do you have anything to say?" Zhang Ran asked with a cold face.
Liu Guohua hurriedly cried foul, "Mr. Zhang, please don't believe Gu Fei's words. Gu Fei and I have never gotten along; he is completely slandering me."
Zhang Ran suddenly smiled upon hearing his words, "Slander? Very well, tell me where he is slandering you."
As he spoke, he signaled for Gu Fei to distribute the other prepared materials to everyone.
After Liu Guohua received the materials, his whole body began to tremble; it was simply too detailed.
Not only were there evidences of all aspects, but also financial records and some information on suppliers; it could be said that this rounded up everything he had done, without any omissions.
He looked at Gu Fei, then looked at Zhang Ran, wanting to make a final deathbed struggle, "Mr. Zhang, there are many places in here that are not factual. I admit that I have some shortcomings in certain areas, but it is absolutely not as exaggerated as what is written here."
Zhang Ran took a deep breath and said, "Is that so?"
"Yes, Mr. Zhang, I can swear to it!" Liu Guohua was practically betting his life at this moment.
It was not easy for him to reach the position he was in today; if these matters were truly confirmed, the rest of his life would be ruined.
Therefore, he was resisting with all his might.
Just at this moment, Gu Fei spoke up again, "Director Liu, don't make yourself sound like a white lotus flower; you know what the truth of the matter is.
And do you really think I would dare to bring these things out without having done anything? If that were really the case, I reckon I would have been torn to shreds by you people directly, right?"
At this moment, Gu Fei had completely let go; as for offending others? Gu Fei didn't mind this at all.
Because he understood Zhang Ran's purpose in making him do this: the first was to have a second voice within the company, and not let the Jiao Zhen Team continue to monopolize power like this.
This was also his own wish; only in this way could he regain power.
The second aspect was to use him to create conflict, to shift the internal conflicts of the Jiao Zhen Team onto himself, so that the Jiao Zhen Team would not fall apart later and would still retain its combat effectiveness.
It could be said that Zhang Ran's actions were killing two birds with one stone, and it was a plan he had arrived at after long deliberation.
It was also the best plan for now; blindly using harsh methods was sometimes no longer applicable.
Jiao Zhen closed his eyes and said nothing; the others hadn't thought that much, except for Geng Yichang, who now knew what he should do.
"Gu Fei, don't talk nonsense. Whether it was actually done by Director Liu still remains to be seen. What good does it do you to act like this?" Geng Yichang sternly demanded.
With him taking the lead, the others also spoke up one after another; for a time, Gu Fei became a target for everyone to attack.
However, Gu Fei didn't mind at all, only saying indifferently, "The truth of the matter is just this. Believe it or not, the evidence is here; deceiving oneself and others is of no use."
Except for Geng Yichang, the others actually had some suspicions, and even if they didn't, Jiao Zhen's behavior today was somewhat abnormal, and he hadn't notified them beforehand.
In the end, they were still a bit uncomfortable in their hearts, but at this moment, it had completely vanished; they vented all their emotions onto Gu Fei.
Zhang Ran tapped the table, and after everyone quieted down, he said to Gu Fei, "Where is the other evidence?"
"Some suppliers have already arrived and are outside right now. They have evidence in their hands, not just against Jiao Zhen, but also many middle-level managers," Gu Fei said confidently.
These were, of course, also arranged by Zhang Ran; he, Gu Fei, did not have that capability.
And when Liu Guohua heard this, his whole body collapsed; he never expected that Gu Fei would have even handled the suppliers.
But he quickly reacted; Gu Fei did not have such ability or means, so everything seemed to be the work of Zhang Ran, who was sitting above.
Liu Guohua was not stupid; he was even very clever, and he thought of a deeper level.
