chapter 12 Taking the blame

The Funland Company had business contacts with foreign countries.
They talked about a business deal not long ago, and the other party will fly over soon to sign the contract.
The other party’s signing representative is a Chinese-American, Mia Falkner.
A female.
She's twenty-six years old.
Although the deal is not too big, if the contract can be successfully signed, Funland will be able to open up a market in North America.
This is definitely a good thing.
This deal was followed up by Vice President Lawson from beginning to end.
Thus, Vice President Lawson was naturally responsible for the reception.
But the problem is that Vice President Lawson has to keep up with another business deal at the same time.
Therefore, William became the receptionist.
They have come all the way, apart from discussing business and signing contracts, they have to accompany them to eat, drink, and have fun.
William didn't think it was anything big.
For business dealings, this is standard.
With William's experience in dealing with people, he knew what to do.
First, he learned about Mia's history.
She went to the United States after studying abroad, and her hometown is a small tourist city in southern China.
So, after some thought, William went to the shopping mall and chose a Goddess Guanyin sculpture made of white jade for her.
He packed it up and took it back to the company.
He planned to give it to Mia in person after signing the contract.
As a souvenir.
Colleagues gathered around laughing and asking questions, and William also answered with a smile.
"Brother William is lucky to meet such a beautiful woman alone," Someone expressed envy.
William smiled and said, "In my eyes, there is only a difference between customers and non-customers. Their gender is not a point of consideration."
It was only at this moment that he felt that he was completely alive.
Men must get busy.
Then only will it become fulfilling.
Then only he won't become like a rice bug, eating and waiting to die.
He enjoyed the feeling of being busy.
At the same time, in the chairman's office.
Caleb and Vice Presiden Lawson looked through the blinds at William, who was mingling with his colleagues.
The two people had strange smiles on their lips.
"This guy is quite gregarious," Vice President Lawson said calmly.
Caleb chuckled, "In the past, I really wanted to use him, but now forget it! Don't mess up this matter."
"Don't worry, Chairman Lincoln!"
In the next two days, William was busy as a top.
He went to the airport for pick up.
Made arrangements at a hotel and took Mia and her assistant to have snacks.
During this period, Caleb and Vice President Lawson appeared together to support Mia.
After that, Mia, accompanied by William, comprehensively inspected the products to be signed.
She expressed satisfaction with the company's preparations.
Between the two of them, one is an elite with dual experience at home and abroad, and the other is someone who has struggled in society before.
Both are seasoned veterans.
They get along very harmoniously.
Moreover, the values of both parties coincide in many places.
Putting aside the client relationship, the two of them are very suitable to be friends.
After the last inspection, Mia acted as a host and invited the Funland company employees to dinner.
To finalize the details.
Vice President Lawson, Caleb, and a group of middle-level and senior-level managers were all present.
The setting was quite large.
If everything goes well, the contract will be signed tomorrow.
"William's proficiency in business surprised me," Mia, wearing European-American-style makeup, praised William in front of Vice President Lawson.
Just when William was about to say something modest, Vice President Lawson interrupted with a smile, "Miss Falkner is right, Brother William is very attentive in what he does. Did you know? The day before you landed, Brother William had already prepared a gift for you.”
"Really?" Mia was very surprised, "Thank you so much. I wonder when I can get it?"
William smiled and said, "After signing the contract, I will send it to your room."
"No need, I can ask someone to get it!" Vice President Lawson smiled and patted William, "Creating the right moment is better than choosing the right moment. Let us see Brother William's taste in choosing gifts."
"Huh?" William was slightly startled.
He was feeling a little offended.
He was the one who bought the gift, although it was bought with public funds.
But the timing of sending gifts has been discussed in advance.
Not now.
However, Vice President Lawson had already asked someone to bring them.
William had no choice.
After all, he was his immediate boss.
Under everyone's attention, William took the beautifully wrapped gift box.
The moment his hand touched the box, William was stunned again.
The weight doesn't seem right.
"What's wrong? Brother William?" Vice President Lawson asked, "Do you still need to look at it before giving it to Miss Falkner?"
"No." William handed the gift box to Mia, "Miss Falkner, please accept it."
Mia took the gift box and opened it with a smile.
When everyone saw the contents of the gift box, their expressions changed.
Especially William.
He couldn't even dream that it was not the White Jade Guanyin.
Then Mia picked up the "gift".
The expressions of all the gentlemen were as wonderful as they could be.
It turned out to be a set of black, hollow, sexy underwear full of temptation.
With a "pop" sound, several brand-name condoms fell to the ground.
It seems that they are matched together.
Everyone's mouths opened involuntarily.
With a cold face, Mia picked up the bottom piece of paper from the gift box.
There was a note written in English.
"Looking forward to a passionate night with you!"
The nearly twenty people around were all dumbfounded.
Everyone looked at William with only one meaning in their eyes.
William Watson
Awesome, just go straight for it!
"Is this the gift you carefully selected for me?" Mia asked sternly, "Shameless!"
William's mind was buzzing.
"Miss Falkner, that's not the case."
Mia didn't give him a chance to explain. She grabbed the cup and poured it on him.
A glass full of juice was thrown on William's face.
"Director Lawson, let's talk about the signing later! Sorry!"
Mia said coldly and left the scene with her assistant.
"William, I really misjudged you. You are getting carried away by fleeting desires!" Caleb snorted coldly and left with the senior executives.
"My brother William, you are killing me!"
After everyone left, Vice President Lawson stamped his feet in anger.
"I've been keeping an eye on Mia for the past few months, and you screwed it up! You tell me, what should we do?" Vice President Lawson was furious.
"I was tricked," William said calmly, "The gift I prepared was the White Jade Guanyin, but it was switched."
"Switched? Do you mean there is a traitor in the company? Then tell me, who is it?"
William shook his head, "I have no clue now, but if you think about it carefully, how could I do such a stupid thing?"
"Okay, don't say anything. Come to the company tomorrow to go through the resignation procedures!" Vice President Lawson said coldly, "I shouldn't have left such an important matter to you!"
When he reached the door, Vice President Lawson turned around and said bitterly, "William, you will regret it!"
Everyone was gone.
Only William himself was left there sitting in the empty room.
He felt helpless.
It was obvious that he was being plotted against.
For what?
Is it just because of his high starting point? Because his salary was high?
Yes, in the workplace, there are such things happening, things that you can't even imagine.
The struggle between people can only be understood when you are in it.
"These fucking pieces of shit!"
William punched the table.
"Sir, what else do you need?" The waiter asked at the door with some confusion.
William looked at the dishes on the table and said calmly, "Bring me a bottle of White Wine!"
"OK, wait!"
"I want the from Red Star Distillery!"
This evening.
William was alone, eating a bite of food and drinking a sip of wine.
Occasionally he cursed a few words.
Even though he had a strong drinking capacity which was developed at work, it couldn't stop him from getting drunk after drinking so much when upset.
When checking out and leaving, William staggered.
Outside the hotel, a gust of wind blew, and he sobered up slightly.
Being implicated by the company and imprisoned is still acceptable to others.
But giving sexy underwear to female customers directly is considered sexual harassment.
This would completely ruin his career and reputation.
"No, I can't take the blame!" William patted his face.
He decided he had to start saving himself.
