Chapter 195: The Document Was Swapped
Translator: Zayn_
Jiang Zhihan swiped the screen a few times before he saw Song Qingyou’s emoji messages.
The tips of his ears were slightly red as he replied: [You said the same thing last time.]
Last time? It was when they first met, right?
Actually, the two times she stared at Jiang Zhihan was because Jiang Zhihan’s eyes were too similar to Zhizhi’s.
However, they were also really beautiful.
Song Qingyou felt guilty: [I say it every time, which means I’m not lying.]
Jiang Zhihan was silent for a moment before he turned to look at her. After a while, he lowered his eyes and replied: [The same to you. ]
Song Qingyou paused: [Really?]
Jiang Zhihan replied: [The rest is also beautiful, not just the eyes. ]
Song Qingyou had been praised by too many people, so she should have been immune to it. However, when Jiang Zhihan praised her, the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curl up. She also sent a few flower emojis.
The two of them were sitting in the back row and looking at their phones while making eyes at each other. Even a fool could tell that they were probably chatting online.
Before Zhuang Wei could notice, Fang Yan would talk to her from time to time to divert her attention.
Fang Yan and the bank manager arranged to meet at a five star hotel.
Perhaps the person on the other end didn’t expect Jiang Zhihan to come over personally. When Fang Yan called, the person on the other end was still on the way.
Fang Yan had no choice but to ask Jiang Zhihan to wait in the private room.
He, Song Qingyou, and Zhuang Wei were waiting for the bank manager in the hotel lobby.
Just as Song Qingyou reconfirmed the documents in the folder, she realized that it was filled with contracts for other projects. The dates were also from a few months ago. To put it bluntly, they were waste paper!
When both parties signed the letter of intent, they had to bring the original stamped contract and other supporting materials.
Now that the document had been swapped, they definitely couldn’t sign it.
Moreover, it was very likely that she would offend the bank manager!
Song Qingyou’s expression darkened.
She subconsciously looked at Zhuang Wei.
Before she came over, she had checked the documents more than once. There should be no problem with the documents. During this period, the only person who had the opportunity to switch the documents was Zhuang Wei, who had borrowed the documents repeatedly!
The latter looked calm and grinned at her as if she was puzzled:
“Why is Secretary Song staring at me? Could it be that you’re feeling nervous and want me to replace you? However, this is Sister Shen’s arrangement. There’s no way to change it.”
“If you have the time, why don’t you check if there are any problems with the information? Otherwise, if there are any mistakes…”
The more Zhuang Wei spoke, the more guilty she felt.
But now was not the time to argue with her.
Song Qingyou took the folder and went to look for Fang Yan. “Fang…”
Before she could say anything, Fang Yan seemed to have seen the car of the person he was waiting for.
“Miss Song, let’s talk about it later,” he said.
Song Qingyou looked around and thought that the hotel might have a printer.
“Assistant Fang, I want to go to the bathroom,” she said to Fang Yan as she touched the USB drive that was still in her pocket.
Zhuang Wei sneered. “The other party is already here, and you still want to go to the washroom? Don’t you know what time it is?! Aren’t you taking your work too lightly!”
Song Qingyou couldn’t be bothered with her. “Assistant Fang, I-”
Fang Yan waved his hand. “Hurry up and come back.”
Looking at his attitude, he didn’t seem to disagree at all.
Zhuang Wei pursed her lips and wanted Song Qingyou to leave the document.
Who knew that Song Qingyou would leave so quickly that she didn’t even have a chance.
“Humph!”
Song Qingyou turned around and went to find the hotel manager.
The lobby manager would not refuse to let a customer use the computer and printer.
Song Qingyou looked at the newly printed document. The seal was different from the original, and she couldn’t help but frown.
If the other party was not careful or did not mind, there should be no problem with this document.
However, if the other party were to nitpick a little, this cooperation would be called off again.
Even so, Song Qingyou had no choice but to quickly destroy the few pieces of waste paper, stuff the newly printed things into the bag, and then quickly return to the private room.
Zhuang Wei, who opened the door for her, grinned and said sarcastically, “Secretary Song went to the bathroom and didn’t even pass the document to Assistant Fang. You actually made Manager Sun wait for so long!”
“Secretary Song didn’t do it on purpose, did she? Don’t tell me you forgot to bring the contract we’re going to sign this time and printed a new one at the last minute?”
Zhuang Wei’s voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear her clearly.
Song Qingyou walked around her, handed the folder to Jiang Zhihan, and sat down next to Fang Yan.
When Jiang Zhihan touched the documents that were still warm, he knew that Zhuang Wei was telling the truth. The documents were indeed printed at the last minute.
If it were anyone else, he might think that she had forgotten to bring it.
But Song Qingyou was the one who had prepared all this. She couldn’t be so careless.
After sending the documents over, Jiang Zhihan sent a message to Song Qingyou: [Did you just print out the contract?]
Song Qingyou lowered her head and replied: [Someone switched the documents.]
She did not say that she suspected Zhuang Wei. After all, there was no conclusive evidence.
Fortunately, Manager Sun did not seem to mind. After receiving the information, he distributed it to his assistant behind him.
Zhuang Wei, who was sitting at the side, saw that nothing had happened and her eyes were filled with jealousy and hatred.
The other party didn’t mention the seal, so Song Qingyou thought that the contract adjustment matter was over.
Unexpectedly, after Manager Sun read the contract, his expression turned ugly.
“Mr. Jiang, the fact that you can participate in the negotiation in person shows that your company is very sincere in cooperating with us.”
“But the problem is that the things written in the contract are different from what we discussed! I’ve already reported the results of the previous discussion to the higher-ups. Please don’t make things difficult for us, Mr. Jiang…”
Manager Sun was naturally polite to Jiang Zhihan. Even if he was angry, he only dared to show weakness.
If only Fang Yan had come today, Song Qingyou had reason to believe that he would definitely fly into a rage.
“The contract was indeed drafted according to the standards we discussed last time. How can it be different?”
Fang Yan took back the contract in surprise and carefully looked at the place where Manager Sun raised his objection.
He was shocked. “What’s with the contract? Why are these places wrong?”
Fang Yan instantly forgot that the contract was organized by the future CEO’s wife. He turned to look at Song Qingyou and Zhuang Wei seriously.
“Who organized the contract? How could there be such a big mistake?”
He was in charge of the project cooperation this time.
If the cooperation could not be negotiated, the project would not be able to continue. Most of the work during this period would be wasted!
Therefore, Fang Yan was very angry now!
Zhuang Wei lowered her head and forcefully suppressed the corner of her mouth, preparing to give Song Qingyou a heavy blow. However, she didn’t gloat over Song Qingyou’s misfortune.
Song Qingyou stood up. “It’s me. I’m sorry.”
At this time, the people who were talking to each other wouldn’t want to hear any workplace gossip about the contract being swapped.
Therefore, she had to apologize first before there could be a follow-up.
Fang Yan took a deep breath. His chaotic mind finally cleared up a little.
He had no choice but to look at Jiang Zhihan, wanting him to decide how to deal with this matter..
