Prologue: # takes the blame
My name is Sun Xiaokong, and I am an ordinary wage earner. At this moment, he was standing outside the general manager's office, his palms sweating.
"Sun Xiaokong! Come in!" Mr. Li's roar came from the office.
I opened the door and saw department manager Zhu Dazhi standing aside with his neck hunched, financial director Sha Wuzheng looking down at the report, and Mr. Li - Li Tianting, chairman of Tianting Group - was patting the table with a livid face.
"Tell me! Who did it!" Mr. Li threw a stack of documents on the table, "How come the budget for the Western Heaven Scripture Learning Project exceeded the budget by five million?"
My throat is dry. I had no involvement in this project at all, Zhu Dazhi was in charge. But last night he called me and said that Mr. Li needed someone to "temporarily assist in dealing with some problems."
Zhu Dazhi gave me a secret wink, suggesting that I nod.
"Yes... I made a mistake in my calculation." My voice was as low as a mosquito.
"Louder!" Mr. Li shouted.
"It's my fault! I will take responsibility!" I almost shouted, my heart beating fast.
Mr. Li sneered: "Responsible? What are you responsible for? You were fired! The industry banned you! Just wait to receive the lawyer's letter!"
My vision went dark and I almost fainted. Industry ban? I just graduated three years ago!
