Ye Qing looked around at the supervisors standing in front of him. His words had been very straightforward, pointing out the problems between Xiaozhou Station and the branch.
Any employee involved in the plasma battery switching incident would immediately wake up when they heard about Xiaozhou Station and the branch.
However, these supervisors, including General Manager Xiang Yongjiang, had faces full of nervousness and fear, so Ye Qing couldn't tell what was going on.
"Xiaozhou Station … Between Xiaozhou Station and the branch?" General Manager Xiang Yongjiang looked confused. The Xiangnan Province branch had to manage 14 city-level stations and 86 county-level stations.
Why would he care about Xiaozhou Station's movements?
He felt that he was busier than the president. Other employees were off work, but he still had to work hard.
Therefore, he felt particularly aggrieved when Mr. Ye suddenly came to the branch and brought a group of executives to ask questions.
Xiang Yongjiang's confused expression made Ye Qing feel a little better.
This meant that Xiang Yongjiang was not involved. The preliminary analysis from the headquarters also believed that he was not involved.
If even the general manager of a provincial branch was involved, it could only prove that there was a huge problem in the personnel management and business review of Monster Industries.
Thinking of this, Ye Qing looked behind Xiang Yongjiang and said to the supervisors and staff: "I believe that something has happened between Xiaozhou Station and the branch. These two pieces of information. This is enough for some of you to understand why the headquarters' investigation team and I are here.
"If someone takes the initiative to confess, I will consider lenient treatment.
"Now, everyone has ten seconds to consider."
After saying that, Ye Qing looked at the hands of the watch on his wrist, then crossed his arms and waited for the countdown to end.
The crowd in front of him was a little flustered. Everyone stared at each other, hoping that someone could tell them what had happened.
However, ten seconds was too short. Even when the countdown ended, no one in the crowd stood up.
"Very good." Ye Qing had no interest in wasting time with these people. Instead, he waved his hand. "In that case, let's do business as usual."
Several senior executives leading the investigation team stepped forward. Fang Yunxin took the lead to issue an investigation order. "I announce that the Monster Industries branch in Xiangnan Province has entered a level-one internal investigation procedure.
"All of you have learned about the confidentiality regulations during your induction training. You are also clear about the steps of the first-level investigation procedure."
"From now on, we will enter a 20-minute silence period. Please keep your distance."
After Fang Yunxin announced the order, the ten security guards of the headquarters immediately walked into the crowd. They asked the supervisors and employees in the hall to disperse to a certain distance and forbid talking.
The investigation team members from the Human Resources Department and the Legal Department quickly walked into the elevator with their briefcases and went to the office area to copy the data from the branch's office computers.
Panic broke out in the crowd.
They were well aware of the first-level investigation procedure. Under the first-level investigation procedure, all of their internal working accounts and backstage permissions would be temporarily frozen.
In other words, before the end of the investigation, they could no longer manipulate any documents of the branch.
At the same time, the investigation team would comb through all the documents of the branch.
This was not a matter of whether he had a guilty conscience or not. Humans were not machines, and it was inevitable that they would make mistakes in their work.
When the technicians finished sorting out the information, wouldn't they find out that they were slacking or not serious about their work?
She might have been able to brush it off normally, but now that Mr. Ye was present, she was obviously furious.
If they heard that they were slacking at work again …
But for now, they could only worry. Under the first-level investigation procedure, they could not do anything.
At this time, the Network Department and the Technical Department of the headquarters had already connected to the branch's network. With senior administrator authority, they combed through all the electronic information of the branch.
The focus was on the 60 sets of first-generation plasma batteries that Xiaozhou Station had sent to the branch, which had been labeled as scrap, and detailed video surveillance.
Monster Industries had long implemented paperless office work, and when it came to the product processing process, each link had to be signed by the corresponding handover personnel for confirmation.
Therefore, it was easy to find out the specific personnel who had handled it. Combined with the internal video surveillance, the identity of the personnel could be accurately determined.
After only 17 minutes, with the cooperation of the headquarters' technicians, the investigation team circled a list of five key personnel.
Zhang Kai, the supervisor of the product maintenance department.
Lu Ziqun, the warehouse dispatcher of the product maintenance department.
Li Ran, the supervisor of the comprehensive product recovery and processing workshop.
Bao Jianhang, the technician of the comprehensive product recovery and processing workshop.
Ma Heqian, the technician of the comprehensive product recovery and processing workshop.
After the investigation team reported the information to Ye Qing, Ye Qing nodded and then read out the names of the five people.
"And Manager Xiang, please come with me."
The people named by Ye Qing had different reactions. Some of them had cold sweat on their foreheads.
Some of them pretended to be calm, as if they were innocent, and some of them were confused.
Zhang Kai, the supervisor of the product maintenance department, was dawdling there, looking like he wanted to say something but stopped. He wanted to explain something.
As a result, a security guard stepped forward and grabbed his arm, pulling him away from the group.
The security guards from the headquarters were all more than 1.8 meters tall. Being strong was only the most basic entry requirement.
In fact, most of the security guards in the security department had military experience.
Zhang Kai, the supervisor, was carried to Ye Qing's side like a chicken. The sudden pain and the serious eyes of the inspection team made Zhang Kai's legs go soft, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
The security guard reprimanded, "Stand still."
Almost all the employees in the Xiangnan branch shuddered.
Ye Qing motioned for the security guard to take these people to the rest area in the corner, and he sat on the sofa.
Then, he asked them who they had sold the second-generation plasma batteries to.
"Mr Ye, what … what plasma battery?" Zhang Kai, the supervisor of the product maintenance department, was so nervous that his voice changed. "I really don't know."
"Mr Ye, ever since I joined Monster Industries, I've been conscientiously sticking to my post. I didn't dare to slack off for a moment."
"Usually after work, I try not to relax. Instead, I signed up for two university management courses and worked hard to improve my ability level."
"Mr Ye …"
As soon as Zhang Kai's voice fell, the other people hurriedly cried out, saying that they all regarded Monster Industries as their home. How could they do something that would harm their family's interests?
Ye Qing didn't say anything, but the general manager, Xiang Yongjiang, was anxious. He wanted to kick Zhang Kai a few times. "Did you guys do something that went against the company's interests?"
"Speak up, otherwise when the investigation team finds out, your situation will only be more difficult."
"No."
"How could that be?"
"Manager, you still don't know what kind of person I, Zhang Kai, am …"
Ye Qing glanced at Xiang Yongjiang, and the latter awkwardly stopped talking.
The investigation team had already sent a preliminary report about the basic situation of the branch to Ye Qing. The report showed that Xiang Yongjiang and Zhang Kai didn't have a simple superior-subordinate relationship.
They joined Monster Industries together, and their work experience was in the same company.
"I gave you a chance to come forward and confess, but you didn't."
Ye Qing was now very angry. After the 60 sets of plasma batteries arrived at the branch, all the links were handled by the five people in front of him.
They were still pretending to be dumb.
