"Why?"
Xiao Ruoyan was stunned on the spot and only spoke after a while.
"..."
Yuan Haichuan glanced at her, shook his head, and didn't say anything. He went straight back to his office and prepared to report this matter.
If all the employees denied it, he would definitely be able to take it.
However, since someone had admitted it, if he forcefully protected her, the risk would only be transferred to himself in the end.
In such a big company, he couldn't guarantee that the news of him protecting his employees wouldn't spread.
If something happened, he would just have to cover up the truth and cover up his subordinates. He would also lose his job.
After Yuan Haichuan left, the other colleagues also looked cold. Some of them even gritted their teeth when they saw Xiao Ruoyan.
If it weren't for Xiao Ruoyan, why would there be a problem with their year-end bonus?
"Brother Jun."
Xiao Ruoyan looked at Qi Jun and realized that the man who had taken care of her and taught her many things was also cold.
"You're on your own. I almost fought with you just now and couldn't stop you."
Qi Jun sighed, shook his head, and returned to his work.
The entire office was immediately filled with a strange atmosphere. Xiao Ruoyan felt so uncomfortable being in it.
"Why? Why? I'm clearly not the one in the wrong!"
Xiao Ruoyan couldn't understand. All of this was clearly caused by the technical department's neglect. Why was she the unlucky one in the end?
Not long after, Yuan Haichuan came out of the office and said with a gloomy face, "The results are out. Everyone's year-end bonus will be canceled, and everyone will be given a demerit. If there are any similar mistakes, they will be fired."
After saying that, he looked at Xiao Ruoyan and said coldly, "You can pack your things and leave."
When the truth really came, Xiao Ruoyan couldn't help but ask Yuan Haichuan loudly, "Why? The fault of this matter is not on me. It's the technical department's people who didn't deal with it in time, which led to a big mistake. Why should the company fire me? I don't accept it!"
"You're not convinced?"
Yuan Haichuan laughed out loud.
"Seeing that you're about to get lost, I'll personally teach you a lesson."
"Is the main point of this matter who is right and who is wrong?"
"The important thing is who will bear the responsibility. The matter has already happened. The main point was how to solve it. The higher-ups were only concerned about this."
"Originally, as long as you didn't speak, I could have easily fooled you."
"Now, you've caused everyone to be punished. Are you satisfied now?"
Xiao Ruoyan's temper flared up as she retorted, "What do you mean I caused it? I've clearly done my duty and done what I should have done."
"He was clearly the one who had failed in his duty, and the real culprit was also him. He did not pay attention to the bug that I submitted, which led to the heavy losses."
"Who told you to submit the bug?"
Yuan Haichuan's sudden sentence stunned Xiao Ruoyan.
"I wanted to submit it myself."
"How many feathers do you have?"
Yuan Haichuan could not help but beat his chest and stamp his feet when he heard this. He said resentfully, "Don't care about things that shouldn't be your business. Didn't anyone teach you?"
Yuan Haichuan laughed. If someone had taught her, Xiao Ruoyan would not have caused him such big trouble.
Faced with such a hothead, he calmed down and said helplessly, "That's good. Remember this after you leave here. Don't make the same mistake again."
Xiao Ruoyan saw that she was wrong on Yuan Haichuan's side, and she was wrong on the other side. It was as if she was really wrong.
Thinking of this, she could not help but feel wronged. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice began to choke.
"No, why? Why am I the one in the wrong?"
Seeing Xiao Ruoyan actually cry, Yuan Haichuan was at a loss. The other colleagues also looked over.
Xiao Ruoyan's beautiful face was filled with tears.
"I-I-I originally thought that everyone was... They were all colleagues and could work together to do this well."
"If there's anything wrong, just change it. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask. Isn't it only better if everyone works hard together?"
"But why? When I encountered a problem, I should have escaped, shirked responsibility, and relaxed. I don't understand, I really don't understand…"
Xiao Ruoyan's words were like a needle and a thorn, fiercely stabbing into the hearts of everyone present.
Yes, they were as naive as Xiao Ruoyan when they entered the company.
They thought that as long as they tried their best, others would do the same. If everyone tried their best, they would be able to make the game better and better.
However, reality soon taught them how to be a good person.
"Supervisor."
Xiao Ruoyan suddenly interrupted everyone's thoughts.
"Hmm?"
Yuan Haichuan's expression was also ugly at this moment. He was also a newcomer. He had the same emotions as the others just now, or even stronger.
"Can you tell me why I was fired?"
Xiao Ruoyan's eyes were filled with confusion, like a homeless child.
"..."
Yuan Haichuan was silent for a while, then said, "It's very simple. It doesn't matter who's right or wrong. It's a question of who will bear the consequences."
"You're just a new employee in the public relations department, and he's the backbone of the technical department. The company won't fire him for you."
"Not just you, even the entire public relations department is dependent on the technical department. You have to know that the game was developed by this group of programmers. You should know how high their status is even without me telling you."
"In this situation, if anything happens, the only thing we can do is to avoid them. Don't fight them head-on."
"If you didn't say anything just now, the company could only blame the technical department for the problem. Because of their importance, the company would only bear the losses."
"Now that you've spoken, the public relations department is just a microphone. If it's not useful, just change it. How can the company be polite to you?"
"Do you understand now?"
Yuan Haichuan said that Xiao Ruoyan had completely given up and knew that things were irreversible.
Suddenly, she thought of something and said, "Can I use the surveillance footage from yesterday? I did have contact with him and submitted the bug to him, but he didn't accept it. If I use this as evidence, the responsibility will still be theirs. This way, at least we won't be punished and our year-end bonus won't be deducted!"
Seeing this, the other employees' eyes lit up. It seemed that this method was feasible.
However, Yuan Haichuan immediately poured cold water on them.
"It's useless. If you play logic with the science guy, he can play you to death. The surveillance footage has probably been deleted. Moreover, the company's surveillance footage has no sound. If the content of your conversation is not clear, as long as he refuses to admit it, under the premise just now, whatever you say is useless."
Seeing Xiao Ruoyan's face turn red and white, Yuan Haichuan sighed and his tone became gentle.
"Hurry up and leave. Be careful in the future. This is your first lesson in life."
