Chapter 59 Hidden Rules 04 Inability to Do What One Wants
Chapter 4
Lu Changfeng nodded in agreement and sorted the files. Yue Fanglin stood up, took the file bag and returned it to the sales director in the office opposite, and explained that he wanted to retrieve the electronic files.
Zhou Yu took Jing Jue to retrieve the files.
Yue Fanglin told them: "We'll wait for you downstairs."
"good."
Several people came downstairs.
The two policemen who accompanied them said, "We didn't find anything this time. What are we going to do next?"
Lu Changfeng looked at Yue Fanglin: "What do you think?"
"To be honest, I don't have any idea. The case of the judge cannot be judged by common sense. It may not be a complicated case, but it is really difficult to figure out why the murderer killed the victim. I don't know where to start."
"It's like a game." Xiao Li said, leaning against the car door.
Lu Changfeng and Yue Fanglin looked over together.
Xiao Li was not shy and expressed his thoughts: "It's like the murderer is playing a guessing game with us. He gave us the riddle and asked us to find the answer."
After Lu Changfeng thought about it carefully, he felt that what Xiao Li said was actually not wrong.
The judge wanted to seek justice for the victim through the police and clearly told the police that the death of the deceased was related to injustice. What kind of injustice it was was something that the police had to find out for themselves.
Xiao Li said with some concern: "Society cannot tolerate the existence of such organizations. Judging others in the name of justice is also disrupting social order. Every time they make social news, everything will be in chaos in the long run. Everyone will be shackled. It's an overcorrection."
Yue Fanglin agreed and said, "So we not only need to investigate the case, but also find ways to find out more information about the judges and try to stop their behavior."
"It's difficult, difficult." Xiao Li sighed.
Lu Changfeng looked at the busy street.
Of course it is difficult, but it is their duty and all they have to do is to investigate to the best of their ability.
Soon Jing Jue and Zhou Yu appeared in their sight, and they quickly joined the others.
Yue Fanglin opened the car door and got in. Lu Changfeng was about to follow. Yue Fanglin raised his chin and said, "You go sit with Jing Jue. I'll go with Zhou Yu."
Lu Changfeng was stunned for a moment, didn't say anything, and turned to go to the car behind.
Yue Fanglin waved to Zhou Yu: "Zhou Yu, come here."
Jing Jue naturally moved closer to Lu Changfeng and sat with him.
He understood that this was arranged by Yue Fanglin.
The car drove onto the road and just passed two traffic lights when Lu Changfeng's cell phone rang. It was a local number.
Lu Changfeng and Jing Jue looked at each other, answered the call, turned on the speakerphone and recorded the call, "Hello, who is this?"
A gentle female voice came from the phone: "Excuse me, is this Officer Lu?"
"It's me, who are you?"
The other end said, "I am Tang Yuting, a salesperson at a daily chemical company. We just met."
"Ms. Jiang, you called me to give me some feedback?" Lu Changfeng pointed to the car in front.
Jing Jue immediately sent a message to Yue Fanglin and others, informing them of the situation.
Tang Yuting was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, then said, "Yes, have you left?"
Lu Changfeng said: "Yes, we can turn back."
Tang Yuting said quickly: "Don't come back, I have something to tell you, but I don't want others to know that it was me who said it."
Lu Changfeng immediately said sympathetically: "Then let's meet at a place that's relatively far from your company. You pick the place, and you can send me the address later and we'll meet up with you. What do you think?"
"good."
"See you later then."
Not long after hanging up the phone, Lu Changfeng received the address of a coffee shop.
Lu Changfeng opened WeChat and sent the address to Yue Fanglin, explaining the situation to him.
The two teams rushed towards this address together.
Jing Jue said: "She is the girl with wavy hair sitting in the corner."
Lu Changfeng nodded and joked, "You even noticed her hair. You observed her very carefully."
Jing Jue curled his lips and immediately became unhappy.
Lu Changfeng said of him: "You can't even take a joke. You get angry eight hundred times a day. Aren't you tired?"
"Not tired." Jing Jue turned his head and looked outside the car, "I'm just a stingy person, don't mess with me."
Lu Changfeng stretched out his hand and put it on Jing Jue's neck, rubbing his fingers on the cervical vertebrae at the back of Jing Jue's neck. The space in the car was small, and Jing Jue couldn't hide, and his mouth was almost pouted.
This made Xiao Zhou in front laugh, "Captain Lu, do you guys usually get along like this?"
"Yes." Lu Changfeng said with a smile.
Xiao Zhou was a little envious, "Your group has a really good atmosphere."
"So the atmosphere in your group is not good?"
Xiao Zhou's smile froze on his face, "Captain Lu, why are you still setting a trap for me?"
Lu Changfeng laughed.
Xiao Zhou said: "The atmosphere in our group is also very good, but it is different from yours. The relationships in your group seem to be very close. It doesn't feel like a relationship between colleagues and friends, but more like a family."
Lu Changfeng understood what Xiao Zhou was talking about and said with a smile: "Our group is a little different. We are a reorganized group and we often travel thousands of miles on business trips. We all want to take care of each other more."
Lu Changfeng withdrew his hand. He watched Jing Jue grow up. He was indeed angry for a while after they met again, but he had never been estranged from Jing Jue. They were always close in both work and life. This kind of intimacy was far from being a close relationship.
He definitely wouldn't put his hands on someone's neck and touch them randomly, as for Zhou Yu and Yue Fanglin, he would definitely not do that.
But for Jing Jue, it is natural. He has been playing with it since he was a child, and this habit cannot be changed.
Xiao Zhou nodded.
Xiao Zhou was very talkative and could talk about anything, without letting anything slip out of his mind. They soon arrived at the place designated by Tang Yuting.
Tang Yuting had not arrived yet, so Lu Changfeng and the others waited in the parking lot for a while.
Tang Yuting called them when she was almost there.
Lu Changfeng and Yue Fanglin discussed it and were worried that Tang Yuting might be under psychological pressure, so they decided not to show up together.
Jing Jue went to meet Tang Yuting with Yue Fanglin and Lu Changfeng, while Zhou Yu stayed in the car to look for relevant information about their company.
After Tang Yuting entered the coffee shop, Lu Changfeng stood up to greet her.
Lu Changfeng chose a corner. There weren't many people in the coffee shop at this time.
As soon as they met, Tang Yuting said to him, "I'm sorry for making you run so far."
"You're too polite." Lu Changfeng asked her, "What would you like to drink?"
Tang Yuting said, "Latte will do. I'll buy you the coffee. Thank you for the trouble."
After Tang Yuting sat down, she said, "I do know one thing that may be helpful to your investigation, but it's not convenient to talk about it in the company."
Lu Changfeng expressed his understanding.
Tang Yuting said, "Can you please not tell the company that I said this?"
"Okay." Lu Changfeng agreed readily.
Tang Yuting said without any worries, "It happened two years ago. There was an intern named Fang Yuanke. She originally came to the company to apply for a front desk position, but then I don't know how she ended up in the sales department. Our company doesn't recruit interns who have never worked in sales, but she was an exception. The company agreed to let her come to our sales department and gave her a three-month internship. During the internship, she was only paid half of her salary. If she could pass the internship, she would get the other half of her salary."
Several people listened patiently.
Tang Yuting said: "I was arranged to be her master, but she was not completely under my care. Li Sai would also guide her. She studied very hard and could endure hardships in the market. After we got to know each other, I found out that her mother suddenly fell ill and needed a lot of money for hospitalization. When she learned that our sales salary was high, she begged Li Sai to switch to sales."
"One time, Li Sai went out for a social event and asked her to go with him, saying that he was going to take her out to see the world and teach her how to do business. She went with him, but she didn't come to work the next day and no one could find her. Li Sai had to go on a business trip and asked me to look for her at her home. When I went there, I happened to see an ambulance and the police. When I asked, I found out that Fang Yuanke had died at home."
Several people immediately became alert.
Lu Changfeng asked: "How did he die?"
Tang Yuting said: "Alcohol poisoning."
"Alcohol poisoning?"
Tang Yuting nodded: "Yes, it was alcohol poisoning. Her mother came to the company to make trouble many times. The forensic doctor proved that she drank too much and the alcohol in her body could not be metabolized, which led to multiple organ failure and she died at home."
"Is her alcoholism directly related to Li Sai?"
Tang Yuting nodded: "Yes."
Tang Yuting told them in detail what happened: "Before Li Sai took her to the dinner that day, Fang Yuanke didn't know she was going to drink. She was persuaded to drink after she arrived at the scene."
Tang Yuting sighed, somewhat helplessly, and said to them: "Socializing is inevitable in sales. You have to maintain good relationships with customers to achieve sales. It is also very necessary to accompany customers for drinks. Sometimes you even have to face sexual harassment from customers, but you have to swallow your anger."
"To put it bluntly, there are very few male salespeople in our company. We only have pretty female salespeople. That's because the company wants us to risk our lives to achieve sales results."
Lu Changfeng was puzzled: "Give it all out?"
Tang Yuting did not hide it, "No matter what means you use, even sleeping with customers, the company does not care. The company only recognizes performance, not other things. Of course, not everyone has to do this. Performance depends on personal ability."
Lu Changfeng summarized the information from Tang Yuting's words and said, "You mean Li Sai asked Fang Yuanke to accompany her for drinking, and Fang Yuanke drank too much and died at home?"
Tang Yuting hummed, "This is the so-called unspoken rule in the workplace. The police investigated the situation that night. Fang Yuanke did say at the beginning that she couldn't drink. Li Sai said that it was not possible to be a salesperson without drinking, and other people also said so. Fang Yuanke was put on the spot and drank. Although there was no act of forcing her to drink, facing such unspoken rules in the workplace, Fang Yuanke, a college student who had just entered society, didn't know how to deal with it. She could only drink with them, which eventually led to tragedy."
"How was this matter finally resolved?" Lu Changfeng asked.
Tang Yuting said: "Li Sai and the company are both secondarily responsible. After negotiating with Fang Yuanke's mother, we will compensate her mother one million."
"Did her mother accept it?"
"I think she accepted it. Later, Li Sai continued to work in the company normally, and her promotion was not affected. Li Sai's mother also did not come to the company to make trouble again."
"Do many people in the company know about this?"
"Quite a lot." Tang Yuting probably knew what Lu Changfeng and the others wanted to ask, so she took the initiative to tell them, "We all work in the same company. If the leaders above don't speak up, we naturally don't dare to speak up. It's better to have less trouble than more. If it causes a bad impact on the company, resigning is a small matter. If you are banned by the company in the industry, you will destroy your future."
There's nothing wrong with keeping yourself safe.
After Lu Changfeng and Yue Fanglin exchanged glances, he asked Tang Yuting: "Then why did you choose to tell us?"
