Next, Mo Li didn't even need to take action, as everyone else started to blame her:

"Xiao Qiao, it's no fun if you say that. We all heard it clearly just now. It was you who proposed the bet first."

"That's right. You swore solemnly that you didn't replace other people's plans. It was you who violated the company's regulations. Why are you blaming Xiao Mo?"

"Isn't this just a naked victim-blaming theory? Even if Xiao Mo deliberately made a big deal out of it, so what? He has the evidence and can do whatever he wants to you. Do I need to discuss this with you first?"

"Do you want to go back and check the surveillance? Have you cleared all traces from the public computer that they used? Just now when Xiao Mo wanted to find evidence in the computer, you looked so smug! Now that you've been hammered, you turn around and accuse Xiao Mo of harming you? You're really a hypocrite!"

"How dare you say that Xiao Mo is clumsy? You know who is clumsy!"

"..."

Qiao Yixun was scolded by everyone until she was almost at a loss for words. Even several male colleagues who had had ambiguous relationships with her before saw her true colors and couldn't help but jump out to accuse her, which made her even more defensive.

"Just wait!" It was no use trying to play the victim or pretend to be pitiful. Xiao Qiao could only point at Manager Huang and Mo Li in frustration and said, "I don't believe you really have the ability to fire me! Don't come crying and beg me when the time comes!"

After saying that, she covered her face and ran out of the office crying, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.

Supervisor Huang assured Mo Li: "Xiao Mo, don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you... I will report to the leader right away, and both she and Xiao Kong will be dealt with seriously according to the company's rules and regulations."

Mo Li nodded: "Thank you, Manager Huang."

……

After Manager Huang left, Kong Shuming kept apologizing to Mo Li: "I'm sorry, Xiao Mo! I really didn't mean to backstab you. I was really possessed by a ghost at the time... She kept begging me, saying that she didn't want to lose her job. I softened my heart and agreed, thinking that it was just a plan and it didn't mean much to an intern like you..."

Before he finished speaking, Mo Li couldn't listen any longer and interrupted him directly:

"Okay, stop pretending here. I've seen all your chat records. How can you be soft-hearted? You really know how to flatter yourself. You were clearly attracted by her beauty. You could be said to be bewitched at the time, but why didn't you want to tell the truth later? When everyone misunderstood me and said that I was the liar, why did you hide in the back and dare not say a word?"

Kong Shuming didn't dare to look at her again.

Mo Li continued to expose him: "You obviously know better than anyone that I was wronged. You obviously had countless opportunities to prove my innocence to everyone, but you chose to cover up for Qiao Yixun time and time again. Are you really protecting her? You are only doing it for yourself! Isn't it because I have made the matter so big that you are afraid that the truth will be revealed and you will be implicated? Despicable is despicable, don't make yourself sound so noble."

After saying that, she didn't want to bother with this backstabber anymore, so she turned around and went back to her workstation to continue working.

Kong Shuming was speechless after being rebuked by her and stood there in a daze.

As Qiao Yixun's accomplice, he will not be fired by the company, but he will not have a good time either. He will definitely not escape the company's severe punishment. Even if his bonus is not deducted, at least in the next few years, he will miss all the promotion opportunities in the company.

He was one of the candidates that Manager Huang favored the most. If it weren't for what happened today, he should have been able to successfully take over Manager Huang's position in a year or two. But now, because he was blind and chose to help the evildoers, his reputation in the company has been ruined, and his colleagues' trust in him has completely collapsed. His future is bleak.

After an intense psychological struggle for an afternoon, Kong Shuming finally couldn't stand the contemptuous looks from his colleagues. He felt too ashamed to stay in the company any longer, and after much hesitation, he chose to submit his resignation and leave.

……

Although Manager Huang, who had always been very optimistic about him, felt a little sorry, he still readily approved his resignation. After all, no matter how good a person's work ability is, if he has bad intentions and cannot resist temptation, he will sooner or later cause more trouble for the entire team.

Today, he may sell out his teammate's plan to others because of a momentary lust. In the future, there is no guarantee that he will make the same mistake and sell out the company's plan to competitors for the sake of a small favor.

Mo Li was not surprised by Kong Shuming's resignation. She knew that people with a little technical ability would inevitably be arrogant. Anyway, it was not like he would not be able to find a suitable job after leaving Yuanwang Design. Instead of wasting his time here, he might as well change places and start over.

However, what she didn't expect was that the company really failed to fire Qiao Yixun.

What was even more unexpected to Mo Li was that the person who rejected the dismissal application was actually the company's human resources director.

Even Manager Huang apparently did not expect that there was someone protecting Qiao Yixun. No wonder she dared to speak so harshly in front of them.

He was now filled with worry, not knowing how to give Mo Li an explanation, so he could only tell her what the HR director had said:

"Xiao Mo, Director Liao said that Xiao Qiao is not an ordinary employee. Her alma mater has an industry-university-research cooperation agreement with our company. According to the agreement between our company and her school, we cannot fire employees before the expiration of their contracts... Director Liao said that the company will continue to recruit people from Xiao Qiao's university, so we cannot fire Xiao Qiao at this juncture, otherwise it may have a significant impact on the company's reputation. If she slanders our company in the student circle, it will be difficult to recruit people from her university in the future."

As soon as Mo Li heard it, he knew that these were just excuses made up by the so-called human resources director.

First of all, as far as she knows, campus recruitment is only a narrow channel for Yuanwang Design Company to recruit. After all, for the design industry, most companies are more willing to recruit experienced and qualified employees rather than workplace rookies and cheap labor.

Secondly, as for not being able to fire Xiao Qiao because of the industry-university-research cooperation agreement with the university, this is even more nonsense. If an employee makes a principled mistake, does the company have to swallow its anger?

Finally, Manager Huang couldn't help but sigh: "Xiao Mo, I am definitely on your side, but I am just a small manager after all. I can't afford to offend the HR director."

"I understand." Mo Li's eyes darkened slightly: "I'll go meet Director Liao."
