Chapter 9 Guarantee

The honey water is sweet and the temperature is just right.

Lin You held the cup and drank it in small sips. The warmth gradually rose and her thoughts became clearer from her slightly drunk state.

Only then did she realize that she had done several unusual things tonight.

It is true that alcohol makes cowards brave.

Ever since she knew that Hu Baoer had appeared in this community, she had been struggling for a long time and had thought about coming here many times to try to look for her.

But when she was sober, she knew clearly that it was like looking for a needle in a haystack, so although she thought about it, she did not take any action.

And now, not only did she come, she also sat in Shi Jingyuan's house!

"It's not enough, there's more."

Shi Jingyuan saw that her pale face finally turned a little pink, so he comforted her softly.

Lin You lowered his eyebrows, put down the cup, and said politely: "I'm sorry for bothering Mr. Shi today. I'm much better now, so I won't disturb you to rest. Um... I'll go first..."

"Destroying the bridge after crossing it?" Shi Jingyuan leaned back lazily, making his legs look even longer.

Lin You looked up in surprise, he really couldn't follow his way of thinking.

She came here to look for the cat, not to look for him. Now that everything is fine, he won't let her go. He can't ask her to work overtime, right?

Shi Jingyuan: "I heard that the atmosphere in the company has been bad recently."

"Well?"

Is there? How could she not know?

However, apart from her job, she didn't pay much attention to other things, so it's possible that she didn't know.

Since Shi always says there is, then it must be there.

Shi Jingyuan's face darkened when he saw her dazed look. He became more certain that she was being ostracized by her colleagues in the company, so she had never heard of those messy rumors.

Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Lin You took the initiative to speak: "If there is anything Mr. Shi wants to know, I will tell you everything I know."

His tone was slightly cold, and he asked directly: "Ms. Lin, has any senior executive in the company harassed you?"

Lin You: “…”

She tactically picked up the water cup and rubbed her fingers against the wall of the cup. Perhaps because of the force, her knuckles turned slightly white.

Shi Jingyuan only asked this question because he remembered the gossip at the company gate, but he didn't expect...

"Indeed!" Shi Jingyuan said gravely, "Miss Lin, don't worry. No one else will know about our conversation today. You can speak freely."

Lin You pursed her lips and looked at the honey water that was already empty.

"Finance Department, Manager Wang."

As expected, every move of the big boss has a deep meaning. He helped her and wanted her to repay him with information.

When Shi Jingyuan saw her expression change, he immediately knew that she had misunderstood!

He was about to explain, but Lin You had already spoken without reservation.

"As far as I know, Manager Wang hasn't just harassed me. Last year, an intern in the Finance Department and a new employee in the Human Resources Department at the beginning of this year both resigned because they couldn't stand his harassment..."

After she finished speaking, she raised her head and met his gaze.

"Will Mr. Shi... seek justice for them?"

Her pure eyes were filled with hopes that she herself was unaware of, and the bright light was like the flickering fragments of light in the vast starry sky.

For a moment, Shi Jingyuan remembered the night he had spent in the desert.

It is also so beautiful that it is hard to forget.

Shi Jingyuan collected his chaotic thoughts and asked, "Do you have any evidence?"

Lin You immediately took out his cell phone and showed him a few screenshots.

Her tender white fingers slid across the screen. Shi Jingyuan's eyes fell on her fingers, but quickly moved away, frowning as he looked at the content on the screenshot.

The chat logs between the manager and her were extremely vulgar and explicit, and included some disgusting animated graphics.

The more Shi Jingyuan looked, the gloomier his expression became.

Lin You: "I used these screenshots to warn Manager Wang. If he harasses me again, I'll publish them...at worst, we'll both die!"

Public opinion is a double-edged sword, and it will also hurt yourself when you resist the enemy.

It's not that she lacks the courage to resist, she has just seen the cruelest reality in the upper-class capital circle and now just wants a quiet and ordinary life.

After listening to this, Shi Jingyuan was silent for a long time.

He picked up his coat and said, "Let's go. I'll take you there."

"oh."

Lin You grabbed the backpack and followed him quietly.

On the way, she could feel his suppressed anger.

Yes, any normal boss would not be happy if there was such a scum in the company's senior management.

"Lin You."

The man walking in front of her suddenly called her by her full name.

She was stunned for a moment and looked up in confusion.

Shi Jingyuan said seriously, "I promise, this won't happen again."

"Uh..." Lin You blinked and smiled gently, "Then I would like to thank Mr. Shi on behalf of all the female employees in the company!"

All female employees in the company...

"Heh," Shi Jingyuan curled his lips sarcastically and whispered, "You think highly of yourself and can even represent all the female employees!"

Lin You: “…”

Why did she feel that he was even angrier than before?

She thought he was just going to send her to the door of the villa, but he took her directly to the garage to choose a car.

He got in the driver's seat and called to her, "Get in."

Lin You stood still, flattered, and asked, "Mr. Shi...are you going to give me a ride?"

"The driver has finished get off work. Do you want to ask him to come back to work overtime?" Shi Jingyuan asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I did not mean that……"

Lin You quickly opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

The car was speeding up a bit, and when it was about to reach the gate of the community, Lin You remembered something and exclaimed.

"President Shi, wait a moment!"

Shi Jingyuan braked suddenly and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Lin You pointed to the community guard room embarrassedly and explained awkwardly.

"I'm not a homeowner in the complex. I left my ID card with the security guard when I came in. Mr. Shi, please wait a moment. I'll go get it..."

Before she could finish her words, she saw Shi Jingyuan angrily open the door and get out of the car.

She trotted after him in confusion, and when she got closer, she found that Shi Jingyuan was already negotiating sternly with the people in the guard room.

The general content was that it was illegal to arbitrarily detain other people's identity documents, and that the guard room's actions seriously affected his guests.

Mr. Shi is aloof and reserved, and even when he gets angry he displays rationality and respect.

After a while, Shi Jingyuan came back with her ID card, "Ms. Lin, if they do something illegal like this again, you will call the police directly!"

"Well, thank you, Mr. Shi."

Lin You put her ID card back into her bag.

Seeing that she was still calm and composed, Shi Jingyuan suddenly felt a sense of helplessness and disappointment.

Forget it, the parties involved don’t care, so why should he say anything more.

"Ms. Lin, next time you want to come to the community to look for cats, tell the guard office that you are my guest."

Lin You thought there wouldn't be a next time, but he still thanked her again obediently.

The two got back in the car and set off.

In the guard room, several security guards were still frightened and talking about it.

"Oh my God! This is the first time I've seen Mr. Shi get so angry!"

"That woman too, couldn't she just say she was Mr. Shi's girlfriend? She caused such a big misunderstanding and got us scolded."

"Oh, what girlfriend? I think it's just a toy. Don't rich men have fewer women around them?"

"That's right. If she were a serious girlfriend, she would have gone in to see Mr. Shi openly. Why would she need to find an excuse to sneak in just to have a chance to meet him in person?"
