Chapter 50 Resignation
The next day, at 7:30 in the morning, the alarm rang and Pei Yuning turned over and covered his ears.
Shang Yanci on the screen chuckled softly: "It seems that Madam really slept well last night. Turn off the alarm and go back to sleep."
Hearing this, Pei Yuning opened his eyes instantly and calmed down, then he remembered that he had not hung up the video call last night.
The alarm was still ringing, so she turned over and lay on her side, reached for her phone and turned off the alarm.
"Ayan, good morning." Her tone was as soft as if she had just woken up.
Shang Yanci was sitting in the restaurant eating breakfast, with his cell phone propped up on the table. He picked up the coffee with his bony fingers and sipped it: "Good morning."
Pei Yuning used the remote control to open the curtains in the room. It was a gloomy day and raindrops were streaking across the window. The rain had been falling all night and there was no sign of it stopping.
On Shang Yanci's side, the weather was bright and sunny. Clusters of warm beams of light shone through the bright and clean floor-to-ceiling windows. The amber eyes were like the sun shining in the rippling lake.
Pei Yuning: "It's raining here, it feels so humid."
Shang Yanci opened the weather forecast and checked the weather in City A: "The rain will stop in the afternoon. Remember to wear a coat today. It's windy."
Pei Yuning: "I see. I'll get up and wash and put on makeup. You can take your time to eat breakfast."
Shang Yanci: "Well, remember to charge your phone."
"Okay." Pei Yuning hung up the video, sat up, plugged in her phone to charge, and went into the bathroom to wash and put on makeup.
At eight o'clock, the waiter brought breakfast on time. Pei Yuning opened the door and at the same time, he saw Qi Yun standing beside him.
Qi Yun is a first-class lawyer under Pei Yunzhi. The two met in college and are the same age. Although Qi Yun is not yet thirty years old, he has a high reputation in the legal community because he has won many complex and difficult cases. He is a leader among rising stars.
Pei Yuning invited him in: "Brother Qi Yun, why are you here?"
Qi Yun: "Yunzhi is worried about you, so he sent four bodyguards to come with me. The investigators from other subsidiaries have all taken up their posts. In addition, although you told City A to conduct self-investigation and self-correction, there is no guarantee that there will be no fish that slip through the net, so I still arranged two people to conduct private simultaneous verification in case of emergency."
Pei Yuning walked towards the restaurant: "You are really thoughtful. Have you had breakfast? Let's have breakfast together."
Qi Yun: "No, I've already eaten."
Pei Yuning poured him a cup of warm fruit tea and handed it to him: "Then please help yourself."
Qi Yun took it: "Well, thank you."
After having breakfast, Pei Yuning took a car to the company with Qi Yun and his group.
The extended version of Lincoln stopped downstairs of the company building, the door opened, Qi Yun got out, holding up a large black umbrella, and Pei Yuning followed.
The general manager rushed over quickly, but was stopped by two bodyguards, who kept some distance between him and Pei Yuning.
The general manager of the chicken-in-the-water version cried and yelled, "I have made so many contributions to Pei's Group, but I just let the newcomer drink one more glass of wine at the table? You just opened it as you said, is there any justice in the world?"
It was rush hour and people were in a hurry. Occasionally, some would slow down, take a couple of photos, and then leave quickly.
It was raining, and Pei Yuning was already in a bad mood. At this moment, she was too lazy to respond to him, not even to give him a glance.
Qi Yun said in a serious tone, "Regarding your compensation, I deposited it into your salary card when I fired you last night. As for the negative impact you have brought to Pei Group, our company will pursue legal responsibility in the future."
The general manager stood there in a daze. He had seen Qi Yun once from a distance before, but he always took on big and difficult cases. Why would he condescend to come to City A this time?
The general manager still didn't know what happened after he left the private room. The backbones in the company kept it a secret from him and tried their best to investigate what Pei Yuning had said, hoping to replace the general manager.
With six bodyguards leading the way, Qi Yun and Pei Yuning walked into the company together.
Pei Yuning instructed the deputy manager: "Tell the public relations department to be prepared. What just happened at the company gate is likely to be posted online."
Deputy Manager: "Yes, Mr. Pei."
Half an hour later, a trending search went straight to Weibo.
Occupational Department Report V: [This morning, Pei Group's subsidiary in City A took advantage of its power to bully people and maliciously dismissed a long-time employee. He was beaten in the rain and had no one to turn to for help. Attached is a picture ×9, the truth is revealed.]
Netizens were outraged in the comments section:
[It's so abominable. That employee came to ask for justice despite the rain. He must have suffered a lot of injustice.]
[Sue Pei Group and ask them for compensation. In today's society, how dare you fire employees without reason?]
[Is the woman being protected in the middle a mistress of a company executive?]
[Those two bodyguards look fierce, are they gangsters? I suggest you investigate the Pei Group.]
[Big companies are in chaos, and the current employment environment is too bad.]
At the same time, two other hot searches successively topped the list.
V, a subsidiary of Pei Group in City A: [Uploaded two videos: One is about the oral statement of the person involved last night, with the facial features of the female employee blurred. The other is the surveillance footage at the company's gate, restoring the facts of what happened at the time.]
V, a subsidiary of Pei Group in City A: [The above is the entire truth. We have taken screenshots of any individual or collective statements that have misrepresented right and wrong and maliciously smeared our company’s image. We will send a lawyer’s letter later and hold them accountable to the end.]
Pei Group V: [The male employee was dismissed last night due to personal bad behavior, and the compensation has been paid in full. According to the results of the subsequent investigation, our company will hold him accountable according to the law. We have now launched a relevant investigation of all our subsidiaries. Once found, he will be dismissed immediately and will never be hired again. Pei Group is determined to protect the legal rights of women and is committed to creating a fair and equal working environment.]
So the wind direction in the comment area suddenly reversed——
[Is it right to force someone to drink? Look how scared the girl is. She even cries when she talks. If you don't quit as a drunkard, do you think I'll keep you as my servant?]
[Stretching out your hand to block it can also be called "beating"? The marketing accounts nowadays are exaggerating.]
[It is not capital that empathizes with women, but women that empathize with women. So we still need to strengthen ourselves so that we can have absolute right to speak.]
[I'm already writing my resignation letter. I want to work for Pei Group!]
[After all, the subsidiaries are scattered all over the country, and it is normal that there are omissions that cannot be managed. At least now that the investigation has been carried out, the Pei Group dares to stand up and defend women. Some large companies are rotten inside, so why are they pretending?]
[Internal staff of Beijing Pei Group came uninvited. Our company's treatment is really good. We will arrange separate rest rooms and feeding rooms for pregnant and breastfeeding female employees, and the paid maternity leave is a full month longer than other companies. If your body has not recovered well after giving birth, you can apply for home office by going to the hospital to get a certificate. I have been in the company for ten years, and I have never been forced to drink at the table.]
[The reason why I didn’t join Pei Group is the same as why I didn’t go to Huaqing University, because it’s too high for me.]
[The girl in the photo is so pretty, with a great figure, beautiful lady! ]
[The lady upstairs is Pei Yuning. I had the honor of meeting her when I was working with her. She is very beautiful and has a unique temperament.]
[Girl helps girl! The power of women, have the courage to stand up and speak out.]
After stabilizing the direction of public opinion on the Internet, the technical department of the subsidiary locked down the marketing account and the location of the blacklisted company and discovered that it was the rival company that took advantage of the situation.
So Pei Yuning passed the evidence he found to the rival company for free. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, so let them fight each other.
