Everyone was stunned the moment Sabrina's words left her mouth. A quiet country bumpkin who was suspended for a week after working for two days, said she knew how to rectify the mistake?
"Sabrina, don’t brag and give empty promises just because you were attacked by Linda! Construction matters must be taken seriously!" Even the design director was now displeased with Sabrina.
Sabrina answered calmly, neither humbly or boastfully. "I have a condition."
Sabrina looked at Linda. "Linda, the contents of both our computers can prove I never touched your designs at all, so if I help you solve the problem now, I'm doing you a big favor. I want to know if you will be paying m e personally or if the company will be paying me. Why don't you discuss this with everyone else?"
Linda was speechless. "You...you still want payment? You...how much do you want?"
"Ten thousand dollars!” Sabrina said directly.
Everyone present was stunned.
"This is daylight robbery!" Linda shouted.
"Do you know how big your loss will be if this mistake is not resolved? "Sabrina asked.
Linda did not know how to reply. Of course, she knew.
If they didn't rectify this error, not only would she be solely responsible, she might even lose her job. Not only that, she might not be able to find another job in this field in the future.
To put it bluntly, this was all her fault. In the past, Linda used to proofread the materials herself, and she never identified any mistakes when she proofread her own materials, so she just threw the last few documents to Sabrina for proofreading. Maybe it was because Sabrina somehow annoyed Linda, Linda actually gave some of her unrevised designs to Sabrina. When Sabrina had finished proofreading and then returned them to her, she forgot there were a few designs she hadn't had time to revise yet. 1
With so many years of design experience, Linda felt that there shouldn't be any problems, but she didn't expect the problem to surface in just a week. Linda could foresee many problems, and could also tweak her designs to prepare for those problems in advance. But Linda was just a designer, she had very little on-the-spot practical experience.
So, when the problem arose, Linda couldn't find a solution. But Sabrina was different. She had been an engineer who had worked on the construction site for many years. There will definitely be unexpected surprises during the construction of a building. When such unexpected problems occurred, she had to think of ways to overcome them. And Linda's current problem was just a trivial matter.
"Then tell me how to solve it. If everything goes well,
I..." Linda looked at the design director.
They wanted her to pay Sabrina ten thousand dollars personally? Her heart ached at the thought.
But if the company really put the blame on Linda, Linda could only swallow it down herself, and now the most important thing was keeping her job.
The design director said in a very serious and condemning tone. "Linda! You can't shirk off responsibility for this mistake. Of course, Sabrina's request is to be borne by you. Even so, you still have to write an official apology when we get back to the office. Know that the company is already being very kind to you."
