"You were new to the workplace, introverted and a bit timid, so you didn't dare speak out. You could only avoid him as much as possible, and things were temporarily peaceful for a while. But then, Chen Fan took you on a business trip, and even though you were very cautious, he still sneaked into your room at night and violated you."
Having said that, my heart is already moved.
But Chen Ting buried her head and refused to say a word, as if everything I said had nothing to do with her.
My brows furrowed a little as I continued, "After that night, you didn't call the police. Instead, you worked tirelessly under Chen Fan, creating sales for him. Now you're planning to switch jobs with him. Do you know that you're aiding and abetting the evil? Or are you going to tell me that you've been completely devoted to him since that night?"
"No! It's not like that!" Chen Ting's emotions suddenly became agitated. She denied it. "He didn't violate me! He did come into my room that night, but I didn't let him succeed! My body is innocent!"
I was stunned for a moment, and seeing Chen Ting eagerly proving herself, I felt even more confused.
"If that's the case, then why didn't you call the police? Why did you continue to work for him?"
Chen Ting pursed her lips tightly, as if all her grievances burst out at this moment. She could no longer pretend to be calm, and her eyes began to turn red.
Seeing her like this, I guessed that she must have something to hide, and I felt deeply sympathetic towards her situation.
I looked around and saw that there were a lot of people coming and going nearby. If I really started crying, it would inevitably attract attention.
I whispered to her, "There are a lot of people here, let's talk in the car."
Chen Ting and I got in the car, and Chen Ting could no longer control her tears.
I handed her the tissue and said softly, "Tell me slowly what you've been wronged about. I will definitely help you resolve it."
Chen Ting looked up at me and asked hesitantly, "Chairman, can I really trust you?"
I forced a friendly smile. "I promise, you can."
Chen Ting seemed to have been suppressed for a long time. Now I gave her a chance to vent. She hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth.
"During that business trip, Chen Fan broke into my room while I was showering. He tried to force me to have sex with him. I fought back desperately, but he shamelessly took nude photos of me..."
Chen Ting's voice choked with sobs, tears of grievance falling. "He also threatened me with those nude photos. If he exposed them, people would think I was immoral and seduced my boss. No one would believe I was innocent."
I was furious just listening to this. What Chen Fan did was truly shameless! If the nude photos were exposed, Chen Ting's reputation would be ruined.
I suddenly understood Chen Ting’s helplessness.
"So you didn't call the police and chose to keep the peace?"
Chen Ting nodded. "I struggled internally, but I didn't dare. I was afraid Chen Fan would expose my nude photos. I had no evidence to prove he was harassing me, and no one would believe me even if I called the police."
How helpless Chen Ting must have been at that time!
"Later, Chen Fan used the photos to threaten me. He wouldn't let me resign, he took over my sales, he snatched my clients, and he harassed me verbally from time to time. I really couldn't stand it anymore, but I couldn't report him, so I just cut my hair short and changed my style."
She dressed herself like a tomboy just to make Chen Fan lose interest in her and avoid his harassment.
