Chapter 453 unedited
She made all the board members feel stupid for not ignoring this aspect of the matter. It was not her problem that they were biased. They were only thinking about their indicia interest, not the actual problem with unbiased lenses.
"Miss Rachel, what do you have to say about this?" Miss Su turned to look at Rachel who was pondering over the situation. She knew that unlike Mr Cao and Mr Jun, Miss Rachel was someone who would not be easily influenced by office politics and individual interests. Miss Rachel waa genuinely a very hardworking woman who waa unbiased but she despised people who did not work hard. She had a bad opinion regarding An Xiulan because she was pissed that An Xiulan asked for extra money just to meet someone after their office hours.
Miss Rachel gave her opinion, "If we are punishing Miss An for creating a scandal, we should take action against Miss Yang too. It will be favorable."
Mr Cao was offended. Miss Rachel was on his side. How could she change sides so easily? "Miss Rachel, how can you support Miss Su in this matter?"
Miss Rachel looked at him calmly and said, "I am not supporting anyone. I was called to this meeting to give suggestions and make an evaluation. I did that. I am in support of punishing both the person who created the problem. Punishing only Miss An will be biased. Miss Yang was equally wrong."
At this point, Miss Rachel had begun to understand that nobody actually cared about the actual matter. They all were sitting here for their personal interests and her words had started a battle and they might make use of her to win it. She had no interest in office politics and decided to retreat from it.
Mr Cao heaved out a sigh. Everyone had lost their mind. He was unhappy that Lu Zhaolin seemed to be winning this time again.
Miss Su played her game again, "If Mr Cao thinks that we are taking the wrong sides, he could conduct a poll. Whoever is in favor of taking action against Miss Yang for disturbing the office environment, please raise your hands."
Slowly, people started raising their hands. Miss Su had formulated an argument in such a way that nobody could refute her. In the end, more than half the members sitting there were in favor of taking action against Yang Zi. If they said that they did not want to punish her, it meant they were being hypocritical and this way they would never be able to punish An Xiulan. Office politics had been in full swing and everyone wanted to save their chairs only.
In reality many people wanted to see An Xiulan suffer. They had nothing against her except for her exceptional talent. Yes, it was right that people wanted her to fall on her face because she was talented. She was one of the youngest attorneys of the firm and her work was exceptionally good.
People had a different mindset when it came to the kids of rich and influential people. They were suffering from the prejudice that An Xiulan was a daughter of a billionaire. How could she be good at her work? She was supposed to be spoiled rotten but she was the complete opposite.
An Xiulan was considered a golden child, she had everything that one could ask for. She was immensely beautiful and talented with two amazing parents. How could people not wait to see her suffer beyond words?
Many of them were of the view that if this opportunity slipped away, it would never come back. They wanted to grab this opportunity.
In the end, they were ready to go to any length to see her suffer. They would take any opportunity, small or big to see her fall.
"Since this is the decision of the board members, I have nothing against it, "Amanda said. She looked at her father who was controlling his real emotions behind his facade after she said those words. In the end, it was decided that the firm would be suing Yang Zi.
Chairman Li did not say many words from the beginning till the end.
"We should discuss Miss An\'s punishment now," Miss Su said. After Yang Zi\'s turn, it was time to discuss what An Xiulan\'s future would be like.
Many board members were in favor that An Xiulan should be fired but even they knew inside that it was very extreme. Yet, they were not ready to come up with a lighter punishment.
"What does Miss Su suggest?" Chairman Li asked, looking at Miss Su.
"Miss An should be suspended and her promotions should be stopped for a while, "Miss Su said.
Everyone looked at her in surprise including Lu Zhaolin who had not expected her to suggest such a hard punishment. They thought Miss Su would suggest something light for An Xiulan since she was trying to protect her from the beginning.
Now people were not sure what Miss Su was playing at. Whose team she exactly was from? So many questions were swimming insi
de their heads but they could not answer it.
