Chapter 538: CEO Ji, You Took the Wrong Seat. This Is CEO Mo’s Seat
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ji Nuan went to Xia Tian’s home in the car and played with her baby for a while. She had planned to stay in Xia Tian’s home that night, but Xia Tian’s husband came back home. Although she could live in the guest room, she didn’t want to disturb the family.
So Ji Nuan took a taxi and went back to Yuehu Bay.

The daily routine of home and work continued for another week. When Ji Nuan went for a morning run, in addition to meeting the aunt, she also occasionally met her son and chatted with him several times.
On Friday, after the morning run, Ji Nuan went home to take a bath. Before she could catch her breath, she heard her cell phone ring.
She picked up the cell phone and took a look. The call was from her company.
It was only about seven o ‘clock in the morning.
Why did the company call her so early?
“CEO Ji?” It was Manager Zhou, head of the company’s planning department.
“What happened? Why are you calling so early?”
Manager Zhou’s voice sounded anxious. “CEO Ji, how soon will you get to the office? Are you at home or on the way?”
“I’m getting ready to change and go to office. What happened?”
“Last week, our planning department had a new idea about the reconstruction project of the stadium, so we issued a simple cylindrical simulation diagram. However, our department’s interns made a mistake and sent the new and undetermined simulation diagram to the constructor of the stadium. Today, we found that the constructor had actually started the construction according to our new simulation drawing, but the actual location wasn’t in line with the original drawing of the stadium, which means that this drawing caused a huge error in the project...”
Ji Nuan who was about to take clothes from the wardrobe immediately stopped and asked solemnly, “How did it take a week for you to find out such a big mistake?”
“We didn’t expect the interns would mix up the drawings and send them to the constructor together. The Shine Group had given the planning part of the project to us, so the constructor works according to our plan. This drawing only covers a small area, but it has to be demolished and rebuilt now, which will cause a huge loss. It not only will cause a loss by tens of millions of yuan, but also will affect the built foundation... I don’t know what to do now.”
From Manager Zhou’s tone, she could tell how anxious he was. He must have stayed at the company all night. After much deliberation, he finally decided to tell her what had happened.
Ji Nuan remained silent. Although Shine Group was involved in the stadium project, they basically only provided financial and human support, and all other technical and planning matters had been entrusted to MN Group, which meant that the Shine group had given this project that the government attached great importance to the MN Group.
Now they had made such a big mistake. It didn’t matter to lose money, but if it affected the built foundation, even if the stadium was finally built, the government would know what had happened. Then MN Group would lose all its credibility in front of the government. Such a serious engineering and planning mistake was unforgivable.
“I’ll be right there. Wait for me in the company.”
Ji Nuan hung up the phone, changed, and went straight out the door

Manager Zhou brought in a big pile of documents of the planning department, including the information about those interns and put them on Ji Nuan’s office table.
It was still half an hour before work time, but they had already been busy in the office for quite a while.
Ji Nuan was reading the documents and Manager Zhou said, helping her with the documents, “CEO Ji, do you think the interns did it on purpose? The interns we recruited this year all come from very ordinary families. They are short of money. If they’re paid off by a competitor, it’s possible for them to frame us with this important project.”
Ji Nuan did suspect it, so she asked Manager Zhou to bring her the information of the interns.
She didn’t say anything but read the documents on the table one by one, pursing her lips.
Manager Zhou continued, “Alas, what did we do wrong? Interns make mistakes, but we all have to suffer. If the matter is not handled properly, we’ll be doomed.”
Ji Nuan snorted. “You should be grateful that I’m still trying to figure out a way for you. If I just wash my hands and put the blame on the planning department, you’ll be scolded hard by the leaders of the government, and then you won’t have the time to complain anymore.”
Manager Zhou shrank his neck. “CEO Ji, you’re really kind to us, but it doesn’t seem very realistic if you want to take the responsibility alone.”
“Whether it is realistic or not, someone has to stand up and take responsibility,” Ji Nuan said flatly.

In the morning they discovered the problem, and in the afternoon the government and the Construction Bureau asked for a meeting to inform the progress of the project.
Ji Nuan had found out the reason. It was true that the interns were paid off by some of their competitors, but that was not a reason the government would accept. MN Group was not careful enough and couldn’t even prevent this kind of mistake. MN Group would only be regarded as an incompetent partner and no one would cooperate with an incompetent partner, let alone that this project was important and was entrusted by the government.
At three o ‘clock in the afternoon, Ji Nuan sat in the car and looked at the extra design drawing, trying to work out a solution.
Although they didn’t say the meeting was held to address any specific problem in the project and this mistake hadn’t been discovered yet, if she didn’t immediately take the initiative to speak out about this matter to reduce the loss as much as possible, the mistake would only grow bigger in the future.
This meeting was not only required by the Construction Bureau, but also proposed by the government. Therefore, this meeting would not be held in the Shine Group, but in the government’s office hall.
When Ji Nuan got there, she went into the office hall, where many of the leaders had already arrived and were seated, except for Ji Nuan and Mo Jingshen.
Now only the two seats beside the city leaders were unoccupied. Ji Nuan went over. As she had been thinking about the matter and didn’t pay much attention to the name tag on the table, she sat down in one of the seats.
But as soon as she sat down, almost all the people in the huge conference room looked surprised or startled and turned their eyes on her. She was readily aware something was wrong.
As the leaders of the municipal government also looked at her, someone beside her reminded her with a lowered voice, “CEO Ji, you took the wrong seat. This is CEO Mo’s seat.”
