Chapter 90: Taking A Chance


    Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions


    Fang Yuan’s gaze settled upon the woman before her, her tone exuding indifference. “It appears you’re the one showing indifference toward our headquarters, Ms. He. I’ve reviewed your attendance record. Do you have an exnation?”


    “Since you’ve already reviewed my attendance record, you should be aware that I’ve been diligently punctual and never left early throughout the past year,” Ms. He retorted.


    “I’m consistently the first to arrive and thest to leave thepany,” she continued.


    “All my contributions to thepany are well-documented,” she added.


    “And yet, you terminated my employment without cause. Do you believe 1 won’t take this matter to the headquarters, potentially jeopardizing your own position?”


    Outside the office, this confrontation stirred quite themotion. Director He seemed surprisingly audacious, speaking so boldly to President Fang. Was she perhaps testing President Fang’s mettle due to her rtive youth? Many were left wondering whether President Fang would be cowed.


    Fang Yuan, unperturbed, appraised her calmly before speaking deliberately, “Do you genuinely stand by your words?”


    He Jiahui, visibly irked, responded, “What do you mean by that?”


    Fang Yuan continued, “Why not inquire with the employees at the entrance how often they’ve seen you within thepany premises?”


    “What? President Fang, are you insinuating collusion with outsiders to frame me?” He Jiahui retorted, her tone dripping with skepticism. “I will report today’s events to the headquarters. You’ll soon realize the steep price of terminating my employment. If you wish to rid yourself of me, I suggest contemting how to safeguard your own position.”


    As He Jiahui turned to leave, Fang Yuan’smanding voice halted her in her tracks. “Hold on.”


    With an air of regal authority, Fang Yuan regarded her retreating figure with interest. “Indeed, we should report this to headquarters. After all, how else will they be aware of thepany’s performance over the past year?”


    He Jiahui, now facing Fang Yuan once more, shot a re filled with suspicion. “What are you insinuating? Cease your baseless usations!”


    Fang Yuan maintained herposure as she calmly stated, “I’ve reviewed the attendance system, and it appears there have been some alterations.”


    With a fluid motion, she rotated theputer screen 180 degrees to face her. Her slender fingers danced across the keyboard as she continued, “As the head of the Human Resources Department, you possess the authority to ess and modify the attendance records. However, despite your efforts to erase the modification traces, the ADS form allows for the retrieval of data with the addition of specific codes.” Fang Yuan swiftly restored the annual attendance report and added, “This represents your true attendance record. Out of 365 days in a year, you’ve only been present for 76 days.”


    The revtion left everyone stunned. While they were aware that He Jiahui rarely came to work, the extent of her absenteeism was shocking. Just 76 days out of 365!


    Fang Yuan continued, her tone unwavering, “You received a year’s sry from thepany,plete attendance bonuses, the title of annual attendance champion, and outstanding employee rewards, totaling more than 500,000 yuan. This could potentially lead to a substantial jail term for you.”


    He Jiahui, her face drained of color, couldn’t believe that this seemingly inexperienced young woman had managed to unveil her true attendance record. Yet, she clung to the hope that as long as she denied it, thepany’s ims would remain unsubstantiated. She even considered the possibility that Fang Yuan, with her coding skills, might be deliberately defaming her to justify her termination.


    Fang Yuan noticed her desperation and spoke with a hint of nonchnce, “By the way, I’ve also extracted all the surveince footage of your appearances at thepany this year—76 days to be precise. Whether or not it’s nder will be determined by the police when we reach the station.”


    Only then did He Jiahui’s anxiety escte. “What do you intend to do?”


    Fang Yuan replied matter-of-factly, “Naturally, we’ll provide the evidence to the police. There’s no need to argue here. The authorities will arrive at their own conclusions shortly.”


    He Jiahui was now in full panic mode. “You!”


    Fang Yuan cast a casual nce at Wang Ning and instructed, “Wang Ning, call the police.”


    He Jiahui was jolted upon hearing the words “call the police.” Her earlier bravado crumbled in the presence of Fang Yuan. She clutched the edge of the table, her voice quivering as she implored, “Please, no, let’s not…”


    Trembling, she continued, “President Fang, can we discuss this further?”


    Fang Yuan, appearing somewhat resigned, responded, “Originally, 1 had no intention of holding you ountable for this year’s losses or sending you to jail. However, you’ve made it clear that you intend to escte the matter by reporting it to headquarters.”


    Regret filled He Jiahui’s expression as she admitted, “President Fang, it’s all my fault. I should never have abused my authority to manipte attendance records, deceitfully obtaining your sry and the full-time award. I should never have betrayed my conscience and taken undeserved rewards from thepany. I genuinely recognize my wrongdoing.. I am apologizing!”
