Chapter 206 Threatening Chu Miao
“Mr. Jiang, we really don’t know what you mean,” Chu Tian said, maintaining his good temper. “You can speak frankly.”
“The biggest worry for Mr. Lu in his life is Miss Lu Jiao.” Jiang Yuan said coldly, “Miss Lu Jiao has been missing for thirty years. For the past thirty years, Mr. Lu has prepared a birthday gift for Miss Lu Jiao every year on her birthday. So far, he has prepared a total of thirty gifts.”
"To better showcase these gifts at the birthday banquet, we delivered them to the hotel! They will be displayed on the day of the banquet!"
Grandpa Lu's birthday banquet can also be considered a family reunion banquet.
Grandpa Lu's greatest wish is to find his daughter, Lu Jiao. He is already eighty years old and in poor health; he may not make it this far. Therefore, the Lu family came up with this plan.
At the birthday banquet, all of Lu Jiao's photos and these gifts were displayed, hoping that if Lu Jiao were fortunate enough to see them, she would know how much they missed her and looked forward to her return.
As she spoke, Jiang Yuan stared intently at Chu Tian, her voice growing even colder!
"But I just went to the storeroom! One of the thirty gifts, a nine-figure pearl necklace, has been replaced with a fake."
"What else could it be but you stealing the genuine product and then putting the counterfeit one up there!"
After hearing everything, Chu Tian's expression suddenly turned cold.
After all, the word "theft," once attached to someone, will ruin that person!
And destroy their company!
Imagine a family that partners with Aimiao Group, entrusts them with goods, only to have them replaced with counterfeit products. Who would dare to cooperate with them in the future?
Hearing this, Wen Li panicked. Had something been stolen and replaced with a fake?
Jiang Yuan spoke in the lobby, and her voice was very loud. All the employees heard it and immediately panicked!
Something's missing!
"Mr. Jiang, I don't know what you mean by the pearl necklace."
Chu Tian took a deep breath, "But I can assure you that none of our Aimiao Group employees have ever committed any theft! I will thoroughly investigate this matter. Please give me some time, and I will find out the truth and give you an explanation!"
"What else do you need to explain?!" Jiang Yuan looked at him coldly: "The goods were genuine when they were delivered, but now they've turned into counterfeit goods. Isn't it obvious that your employees switched them? What, are you taking your employees' side now and trying to shirk responsibility?"
"I'm not trying to shirk responsibility," Chu Tian said. "It's just that before there's clear evidence, I can't wrongly accuse any of my employees based on assumptions."
“I personally recruited each of them, and I trust their character. I’ll call the warehouse staff over now, please wait patiently.”
Soon, the person in charge of the warehouse arrived.
It's Lao Dong.
He was one of the people who left the Chu Group and followed Chu Tian back then.
He had heard what had happened when he arrived, and as soon as he came in, he hurriedly said, "Chairman! I know how important those things are! That's why I personally guarded them! I also have the warehouse key! I haven't touched them since they were delivered! I really haven't replaced them with counterfeit goods! You have to believe me! I really didn't!"
"Why would I go and steal the necklace for no reason?!"
"What for? Of course, it's for money!" Jiang Yuan said, "After all, that necklace is worth tens of millions! Of course you want to steal it and exchange it for money! You said yourself that only you have the key to get close to the vault! Who else could it be but you! Taking a risk could give you a lifetime of wealth, anyone would do it! Although it's risky, the chances of success are very high! If I hadn't discovered it this time, wouldn't you have succeeded in stealing it!"
"I didn't... I really didn't!" Old Dong was speechless with injustice: "Chairman, you must believe me!"
"Do you think anyone would believe such a clumsy lie?" Jiang Yuan sneered. "President Chu, you don't believe him, do you? A perfectly good pearl necklace has become a fake in your hands. You have to give me an explanation! Fire this person and return the real pearl necklace!"
Old Dong's face was deathly pale, and he was on the verge of tears.
He really didn't switch the pearl necklace!
How is he supposed to get it out?!
“Chairman…” Old Dong looked at Chu Tian with a bitter smile. Just when he was feeling hopeless, Chu Tian grabbed his arm and gave him a reassuring look.
"Don't worry, I trust you." He said to Lao Dong, then looked at Jiang Yuan and said, "Mr. Jiang, Lao Dong is a brother of mine who has been working in the business world for decades. I have great faith in his character. He would never do something like switching necklaces. I trust him completely in this matter."
"I will thoroughly investigate the matter of the pearl necklace and give you a satisfactory result. If the pearl necklace was indeed lost from me, I will definitely find it and return it to you."
"Return it?! How are you going to return it! Do you know how much that pearl necklace is worth? It's worth nine figures! The entire Aimiao Group couldn't afford to pay for it!"
Jiang Yuan roared, "Ha, today has truly opened my eyes! Your hotel has been involved in theft, and you're even covering up for your employees! If this gets out, your Aimiao Group will be utterly disgraced! No company will dare to cooperate with you again in the future!"
That was a threat.
Old Dong's heart tightened: "Chairman..." Aimiao Group has worked so hard to develop to its current scale, it absolutely cannot afford to have such a scandal.
Once this gets out, the Aimiao Group will be ruined, and no company will cooperate with it in the future.
"It's my fault for not taking good care of the warehouse, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chu Tian grabbed his hand and shook his head, telling him to stop talking. Then, he looked calmly and frankly at Jiang Yuan: "Mr. Jiang, I still maintain that I cannot easily convict the people around me without concrete evidence. The pearl necklace matter still needs to be investigated carefully."
"So you're determined to protect this person, even if it means the collapse of the Aimiao Group?" Jiang Yuan sneered.
"This is about fairness and impartiality, not favoritism."
Chu Tian's righteous and righteous demeanor was nothing short of a joke to Jiang Yuan.
"Why are you so sure that the pearl necklace was switched by the hotel staff? Not only our people touched the necklace, but your people did too. Is it possible that the person who switched it was not our hotel staff, but someone from your Lu family, and that the necklace was already a fake when you delivered it?"
Chu Miao, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.
Jiang Yuan suddenly looked at her.
A cold gaze swept over her.
"That's ridiculous! Are you implying that the Lu family stole from our own premises? Do you even know the Lu family's status in the capital? If you don't punish this person and hand over the real necklace today, the Aimiao Group can forget about continuing to operate in the capital!"
