Chapter 17 Story
Shi Jingyuan noticed Qian Ling's actions and realized that he had accidentally let the cat out of the bag. He immediately tried to make amends calmly.
"She made me completely lose face. This incident almost went viral, leaving over a billion people laughing at me... Isn't it normal for her to become my nightmare?"
Qian Ling looked at him suspiciously, then calmed down and felt that he was right.
They are all upper-class people, and they all have some dignity. If they were pressed buttocks into a fast food plate, they would also have nightmares.
"From what you've said, it seems your female employee is neither appreciative nor tactful, and she's also very sensitive. Why do you keep someone like her around? Wouldn't it be better to just fire her?"
Qian Ling raised his glass and gently clinked it with the glass in front of Shi Jingyuan, then said with a smile, "Why do you have to spend so much energy on her?"
Shi Jingyuan picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The hot feeling rolled into his throat. He frowned but said nothing.
Seeing that he was silent, Qian Ling didn't know what revenge drama he had imagined in his mind, and he slapped his forehead suddenly.
"Oh... I understand!"
Shi Jingyuan raised his eyebrows and asked him with his eyes, what do you understand?
Qian Ling leaned towards him, put a hand on his shoulder and joked.
"This woman, who is nothing, has given you nightmares. Firing her is a relief."
Qian Ling recalled something he had heard in his circle. "Do you still remember the Li family who do scrap recycling?"
Shi Jingyuan had some recollection of the girl who hanged herself in front of his house.
"Yes." Qian Ling sighed when he mentioned this matter.
"The youngest son of the Li family is known for his extravagant ways. The girl who died was his father's secretary, and he had a crush on her."
"At first, the Li family's son spent a lot of money to pursue the girl, but the girl kept refusing to agree, which made him lose face."
Shi Jingyuan had never been interested in these gossips, and it was only after someone died that he heard some rumors.
"Was the girl killed by the son of the Li family?" Shi Jingyuan asked casually.
"How is that possible! This is a society ruled by law..." Qian Ling leaned closer and lowered his voice, "In our circle, hiring someone to kill is the stupidest thing. If you really want someone to die, there are plenty of legitimate ways to do it."
Shi Jingyuan raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"
Qian Ling continued, "The Li family's son was so angry that he started bullying the girl in the workplace. He first asked her to do menial tasks under the guise of work. On the surface, it seemed harmless, but it was actually very damaging to her self-esteem."
"Later, he deliberately created several gossips with girls, making everyone in the company think that the girls were seducing him."
"Under the weight of public outcry, the girl couldn't stand it anymore and was ready to resign. The youngest son of the Li family wasn't willing to give up, so he resorted to the most ruthless tactics. He paid his ex-girlfriend to claim to be his wife, then went to the girl's hometown, found her family, and claimed that the girl had seduced her husband in the city and was his mistress..."
The more economically backward a place is, the more people enjoy talking about rumors.
Shi Jingyuan could guess without hesitation that the girl's family would definitely be criticized by the neighbors in this situation.
Qian Ling's mouth was dry after talking for a long time, so he drank half a glass of wine before speaking again.
"I heard the girl's parents were teachers and couldn't stand such slander. Her father was so angry that he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. He survived but was paralyzed."
When Shi Jingyuan heard about this incident before, he only knew that a girl died in front of the Li family's door, but he didn't know that there were so many hidden stories.
"The girl was driven to despair. Unable to figure out what was happening, she hanged herself in front of the Li family's door."
Qian Ling sighed for a moment and then said, "So, in our class, it's not that difficult to force someone to death. Just boil the frog in warm water."
Shi Jingyuan lowered his eyes and fiddled with the wine glass on the table in a slightly irritated manner.
There was still one third of wine left in the glass, and when the glass was turned, it created slight ripples.
The girl was forced to commit suicide, and the Li family just paid some money to indirectly destroy her life.
They did not take direct action, and even if they called the police, they would not bear any responsibility with the help of excellent lawyers.
This is the convenience that money and power bring to those in power.
Qian Ling nudged Shi Jingyuan's arm with his elbow and jokingly said:
"Boss Shi, I believe you're not as vile as the Li family's son, but... tell me, how far are you prepared to go to satisfy your anger?"
His words really shocked Shi Jingyuan. His heart skipped a beat and he suddenly realized something.
When Shi Yanran asked Lin You to clean up the trash and bend down to polish her shoes, wasn't this also stepping on Lin You's self-esteem and humiliating her bit by bit?
So, Qian Ling misunderstood that he wanted to take more revenge on Lin You and didn't fire her immediately?
Qian Ling thinks so, then... will she think so too?
Shi Jingyuan suddenly felt dry in the mouth. He picked up the wine beside him, filled the glass, and drank it in one gulp with crushed ice.
"what you do?"
Qian Ling couldn't understand his actions.
Shi Jingyuan stood up, took his coat and walked out of the bar. "It's getting late. Let's not drink anymore. You should go back and rest early."
Shi Jingyuan is definitely not a good guy to have reached his current position.
He has heard and seen a lot of these dirty things in the circle.
But for some reason, when he heard his friend's joking jokes today, he suddenly felt very annoyed.

As soon as the sky was getting light, the earliest group of workers in the city started going out one after another.
The sanitation workers, wearing yellow and green vests, pushed carts through the streets to clean up garbage. A delivery boy rode his motorcycle and stopped at the three-way intersection to wait for the traffic light. A few scattered office workers yawned as they crossed the crosswalk.
Lin You sat at the bus stop, holding a cup of hot milk in his hand, but still felt cold all over.
She sat in the office for a long time and lacked exercise, so she caught a cold after being caught in the rain.
She sneezed twice, stumbled onto the bus, and got off at the nearest bus stop to her company in a daze.
"Miss Lin, you're here so early today."
The security guards were most familiar with the people in the logistics department, and they took the initiative to greet Lin You when they saw him.
"Good morning...A-choo!"
Lin You sniffed and thought about asking Manager Hu for leave after finishing work.
Last night, Secretary Liu sent her a message to apologize, saying that when she got off work yesterday, Mr. Shi had not left yet, so she was unable to help her complete the equipment inventory work.
Secretary Liu was just trying to help, and she was very grateful for his kindness. How could she ask for anything else?
Lin You took the elevator directly to the top floor.
It was still early and no one was there in the secretariat or the administration department.
She walked to the door of the president's office and then remembered something.
Without permission and the password to the office door, she couldn't get in even if she came early in the morning!
He is really sick and confused!
