Cindy had guessed that Stephen would teach Margaret a lesson. When Cindy was a sophomore, she had let Margaret off once. After leaving college, Margaret still hadn't gotten rid of her bad habits. If Cindy interceded with Stephen for Margaret this time, Cindy would be too forgiving.
Besides, Stephen had overlooked that Cindy came home late today. She wasn't stupid. If she said more with him, he would quibble over it. She was reluctant to ask for trouble.
She was smart. There was no need for her to take a risk because of Margaret who always spoke ill of her. After all, she might be criticized.
Stephen acted fast. When Margaret went to work on Monday, she took a chance and thought that what Stephen had said on Saturday night was just a joke.
However, her department manager had a talk with her at noon. He didn't say anything else and just asked how she knew Cindy elliptically. Then he asked some questions that were unrelated to her work and started to ask her about the problems of her new evaluation scheme.
The evaluation scheme’s data is very different from the real data. Tsing Corporation was not optimistic about that company. When Margaret knew that she would be responsible for that company, she felt unhappy. After all, no matter how great the evaluation scheme was, Tsing Corporation wouldn't invest in it. All her effort would be in vain.
Thus, when the person from that company bribed her and asked her to write a great evaluation scheme, she struggled and agreed.
Tsing Corporation was not optimistic about that company. No matter how she polished it, no one would pay attention to it.
She just needed to change some data and hand it in. Then she would get 100,000 dollars casually. Such a profitable thing rarely happened.
She had worked in Tsing Corporation for one year. She was not the only one who changed data. Besides, the senior leaders of Tsing Corporation were reluctant to invest in it. She thought that she was lucky and what she had done wouldn't be noticed.
Unexpectedly, she pissed Cindy off.
Of course, if Stephen wanted to fire Margaret, he had many ways. He had something on her because of the evaluation scheme.
The department manager threw the evaluation scheme in front of her.
Although he didn't say anything else, she knew that she was screwed from his poker face.
What she had done was noticed by them!
She was unlucky so that she was exposed!
