Chapter 75 A Brutally Arrogant Thing
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
Isn't the big boss being a bit too enthusiastic?
The editor-in-chief interrupted, "Since President Tan has spoken, Xiao Lin, you should say something. Think it over carefully, and don't just say things out of spite."
This statement sounded normal, but Lin Zaoyi sensed a warning in it. Reporting one's direct supervisor in the workplace is already taboo, let alone doing it in public, which is extremely taboo.
She is not afraid, nor does she regret it. Who knows how many other girls have suffered the same fate as her?
She was just lucky to have her mother and... him.
Unperturbed, he unlocked his phone. "I have evidence."
The three recordings, though short in duration, totaling less than five minutes, caused an uproar in the office.
Yu Long's teeth chattered, and the word "bitch" was still stuck in his throat when Tan Zhaojing suddenly looked over, his eyes even fiercer than before. Yu Long involuntarily shivered and stammered, "President Tan..."
Zhao Qingqing was also greatly affected; her face was flushed, but her heart felt cold.
Did Lin Zaoyi record anything else...?
The editor-in-chief frowned deeply; even if he wanted to protect her and smooth things over, it would be difficult!
His gaze swept over Yu Long, "Explain!"
"Forgery!" Yu Long refused to believe that Tan Zhaojing could be held accountable to the end. "Lin Zaoyi, what's wrong with you!"
Lin Zaoyi didn't care. Her voice and emotions remained calm and composed. "Then call the police and leave it to them."
At this moment, a girl sitting diagonally opposite stood up and said, "I forgot to keep any evidence, so I can only verbally accuse Yu Long of harassing me. I've been working at the newspaper for a year, but I've always been an intern. Not only that, but I've also been marginalized. I think everyone knows why. I rejected him."
"Bullshit!"
Yu Long glared angrily, veins bulging on his forehead, "You conspired to frame me, didn't you!"
The glass door was suddenly pushed open with a loud noise. Everyone except Tan Zhaojing turned their attention to the door and saw a slightly plump woman in a red suit appear in their field of vision, stomping her high heels with great force.
"Yu Long, you actually cheated on me behind my back! If I hadn't checked your bank statements, I wouldn't have known you bought so many luxury items for that little slut!"
In the midst of his angry outburst, he pulled out a stack of invoices and slammed them hard into Yu Long's face.
The scene was chaotic and lively. Who would have thought that Editor-in-Chief Yu, who always presented a refined image, would be beaten by his wife in front of everyone?
Extremely disheveled.
Finally, the security guards came and escorted Yu Long and his wife out.
After this incident, the editor-in-chief was in a very bad mood, and there was an outsider present, whom he couldn't afford to offend.
He smiled sheepishly, "Mr. Tan, please excuse my poor appearance."
Tan Zhaojing had no time for pleasantries. He glanced down at his watch; he had a meeting at 11 o'clock.
He instructed his assistant, "You stay here to clean up the mess."
Assistant Shao agreed.
The others were shocked. Was this... perhaps Mr. Tan was being too concerned?
After giving his instructions, Tan Zhaojing turned to the side. Before his gaze could even settle on her, the girl had already made a move, perfectly embodying the phrase "don't bother me."
"......"
A domineering and arrogant person.
He nodded to the editor-in-chief, "Go ahead, you guys get busy."
Editor-in-Chief: "Okay."
He personally saw the person out and pressed the elevator button, saying, "Mr. Tan, please excuse my rudeness."
Tan Zhaojing simply said, "I will handle this impartially."
"must."
The moment the stairwell doors closed, the editor-in-chief's smile vanished, and he stepped back into his office with a stern face.
With Zhao Jing's assistant present, he hesitated before speaking, "Xiao Lin, I don't recommend you call the police; it would be bad for the newspaper."
They made a promise: "You're one of those people being evaluated for permanent positions."
My plan was this: I'll find a reason to fire him after a while; keeping such a troublemaker at the newspaper is a potential problem.
Lin Zaoyi declined, saying, "No need."
The editor-in-chief frowned. "What do you mean?"
Lin Zaoyi expressionlessly removed her work badge from her neck; she figured she might as well leave this smoky, chaotic place.
"I'm resigning."
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd, leaving everyone speechless with astonishment.
Xu Qiao was the first to speak up: "Zao Yi, don't be impulsive!"
“Yes, Zaoyi,” her colleague chimed in, “this is a permanent position, something you’ve been waiting for for so long.”
Lin Zaoyi smiled and said, "I wasn't impulsive."
His gaze swept over Assistant Shao near the station. "I'm all set here. You go ahead with your work. I'll go to the front desk in a bit."
Assistant Shao: "I'll see you off."
Lin Zaoyi: "No need, I'll drive there myself."
Assistant Shao stopped insisting and called his boss after leaving the building.
Tan Zhaojing was not surprised; it was just a newspaper, nothing to regret.
Lin Zaoyi didn't have much stuff, and she finished packing in five minutes. Zhao Qingqing came over, finally stopping her sullen look and saying in a humble voice, "Lin Zaoyi, can you come out for a bit?"
Lin Zaoyi gave her face, but not much, saying, "Two minutes, I have other things to do."
Zhao Qingqing let out a long sigh, "You may not believe it, but I am also a victim."
Lin Zaoyi laughed when she heard this, "Whether you're a victim or not doesn't stop you from climbing into bed faster than a monkey."
Humiliated like this, Zhao Qingqing could only grit her teeth in silence, "I didn't!"
Lin Zaoyi was too lazy to argue. She turned on her phone screen, and before a minute had passed, there was no point in continuing. "Zhao Qingqing, you are not wronged."
She went back to the office to get her things, and before leaving, she said goodbye to her master, "Sister Qiao, see you in the martial arts world someday~"
Xu Qiao glanced at her, "What's wrong with enduring it?"
Lin Zaoyi replied with a serious expression, "I will die."
Xu Qiao: "..."
A colleague came over, looking on with envy, "Hey, Lin Zaoyi, you just said you were going to the front desk, are you planning to join there?"
Lin Zaoyi hasn't decided yet, "I have some things to take care of."
"I'm leaving now, bye-bye."
Without a second thought, I walked out of the building.
After driving for a while, I called the editor-in-chief of Mingda University and said, "Mom, I've resigned."
The news came suddenly, and Mingxian paused for half a second, "The reason?"
Lin Zaoyi told the truth: "The editor-in-chief sexually harassed me. I was so angry that I exposed him in public."
Mingxian's brow furrowed. "What did your editor-in-chief say?"
"They want to use the promise of a permanent position to make me back down."
Mingxian's brows furrowed even deeper. She hung up the phone and dialed another number. "After all these years of friendship, this is how you treat my daughter?"
The editor-in-chief was stunned. "Who's your daughter?"
Could it be... a troublesome intern?
He recalled the name, "Lin Zaoyi?"
Mingxian: "Yes, I won't say anything more. You can deal with the editor-in-chief who harassed my daughter yourself!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
The editor-in-chief's mind went blank for several seconds before he said that Tan Zhaojing's arrival was strange, and that this Xiaolin actually had such a deep background.
He miscalculated.
A phone call was made to Yu Long, telling him to go apologize himself. His wife answered the phone, crying and saying that Yu Long had been taken away by the police and they wouldn't let him get bail.
"Editor-in-chief, you have a wide network of connections, please help me find someone to plead for me."
He couldn't help, nor did he have the guts. It was clearly Tan Zhaojing's doing, otherwise it wouldn't have been done so quickly.
Had he known Lin Zaoyi had such a powerful background, he would have definitely kept her here!
Rubbing his temples, he muttered, "Good luck to you!"
