I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 386 Seniority doesn't determine everything; character is also very important.

At that moment, the head of the technology department was still taking a lunch break in his office, fast asleep...

Then someone rushed in, woke him up, and told him what had just happened...

In that instant, he felt as if his world had collapsed...

He crawled and scrambled out of the office and arrived at the work area where the accident had just occurred...

Seeing Liu Wei standing there with her arms crossed and her brows furrowed, he felt a sudden shiver run through him...

Not good!

The minister, sweating profusely, jogged up to Liu Wei, bent down, and said in a humble voice:

"President Liu...you...you called me..."

He was still filled with fear, terrified that he would be punished...

This wasn't the first time that team leader had been publicly criticized, but because he had repeatedly offered bribes, people in this workplace had no choice but to turn a blind eye.

I also frequently warned him that even within his own group, he needed to tone it down, because being too arrogant could lead to his downfall any day...

I never expected this day to come so soon. The car crashed, and to make matters worse, I got dragged down with it...

I initially thought his car accident was at most caused by a large truck hitting him, but I never imagined he'd crash into an aircraft carrier...

"Do you know why I asked you to come?"

Liu Wei's calm words sounded like a thunderclap to the minister...

He certainly knew why he had been called here, and he also knew what he was about to face...

"I know...I know...Don't worry, this incident has taught me a very profound lesson, and it's also a warning I'll never forget. I will learn from this and make thorough corrections! I will never allow such a parasite to appear in our department again. Please give me a chance to correct my mistakes, Mr. Liu..."

The minister spoke very sincerely, offering no excuses or justifications, openly admitting his mistake and proposing ways to correct it...

Because he knew that making excuses was pointless, it was better to honestly admit his mistake. In that respect, he was much better than the team leader.

Liu Wei asked calmly:

"You took bribes from that person, didn't you? He's been doing this for a long time, haven't you ever noticed? Then I don't think you need to be the minister anymore."

"This...I..."

The minister never imagined he couldn't escape Liu Wei's notice; he was now facing an extremely critical situation...

If this isn't handled well, then you'll end up like that team leader.

In this situation, there's only one way...

"Mr. Liu, you're right. I've failed to live up to your expectations. I'm willing to demote myself and give the ministerial position to someone better... Please approve..."

The minister lowered his head and spoke earnestly. Although he appeared serious and decisive, his heart was actually bleeding...

How many years did it take him to get to the position of minister? That damned guy ruined himself in just one day.

If he hadn't said that, hadn't made that choice, he would likely have faced much more severe punishment; accepting bribes is not a simple matter...

All he can do now is sacrifice the pawn to save the king; as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn...

"Well, since you've said so, let's do as you say."

Liu Wei nodded. Although this wasn't the most satisfactory solution, she couldn't be too aggressive in front of so many people. As a leader, magnanimity was still an essential quality...

He's already put it this way, I have no reason to refuse...

Wu Menghuai was extremely happy at this moment, but she didn't dare to show it, lest she appear gloating, which wouldn't be appropriate...

But she was genuinely happy; the person who had bullied her for so long had finally been fired! Hopefully, no one would bully her anymore.

That job should be wonderful; finally, I won't have to put up with this anymore...

Seeing her secretly happy, Yin Mengran felt a pang of sadness, thinking that she must have suffered a lot of injustice.

Then, Yin Mengran called out to Liu Wei and said softly, "Mom... there's something I want to tell you..."

"Hmm? What is it, darling? Just tell me."

"This is the daughter of my and Zhou Heng's high school homeroom teacher, and we received a lot of help from her back then..."

Yin Mengran told Liu Wei about how Teacher Wang had taken care of her and Zhou Heng back in high school, and then whispered something to her with a pleading look in her eyes.

After hearing this, Liu Wei nodded without hesitation and agreed, "Of course, no problem!"

Then, Liu Wei looked at Wu Menghuai, smiled slightly at her, and waved for her to come over.

Wu Menghuai was somewhat surprised, pointing to herself with an incredulous look, then quickly went over to greet her:

"President Liu..."

"Well, child, my daughter said there's a vacancy for the group leader position in your group, and she wants you to be the group leader. Are you willing?"

“Ah…Ah?!”

Upon hearing this, Wu Menghuai's eyes widened in shock as he looked at Yin Mengran, his gaze filled with disbelief...

Why would Yin Mengran recommend herself for the team leader position? The previous team leader had been in the position for four or five years before finally becoming one, while I... have only been working for a year...

Neither in terms of qualifications nor ability is he qualified...

Yin Mengran seemed to see through Wu Menghuai's concerns and spoke up:

"Sometimes, seniority doesn't determine everything; character is also very important. I think... entrusting it to you will definitely be fine."

Yin Mengran truly believed that Wu Menghuai had the ability. Even though she hadn't known her for long, she could still sense how good Wu Menghuai's character was.

Most importantly, she wanted to do as much as possible for Wu Menghuai...

Thinking back to Teacher Wang's open and aboveboard favoritism, she was filled with gratitude, so now she also wanted to openly and aboveboard favor Wu Menghuai.

"That..."

Hearing Yin Mengran say that, Wu Menghuai had no reason to refuse. Being a team leader was definitely a good thing! The responsibility wasn't too great, and it was even a small leadership position...

I've only been doing this for a year, and this kind of good fortune has already happened to me. Nobody would believe it if I told them...

She knew perfectly well that she was benefiting from her mother's kindness; it seemed that being sincere and kind to others really did pay off, and who knew when that reward would come...

"Okay, I'll give it a try. I'll work hard. If after a while I find that I'm not up to the task, I'll hand it over to someone more suitable than me!"
