Chapter 50

The day after resignation, the alarm clock rang at 7:30 in the morning, and Pei Yuning turned over and covered his ears.

Shang Yanci on the screen chuckled softly: “It seems that Madam did sleep very 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 to her side, reached for her phone and turned off the alarm.

“Ayan, good morning.” The tone was soft as if he had just woken up.

Shang Yanci was sitting in the restaurant eating breakfast, with a cell phone stand on the table. He picked up the coffee with his bony fingers and took a sip: “Good morning.”

Pei Yuning took the remote control to open the curtains in the room. It was a gloomy day, and raindrops were passing by the window. It had been raining all night and there was no sign of stopping.

It was sunny on Shang Yanci’s side, and clusters of warm beams of light shone in through the clean floor-to-ceiling windows. His amber eyes were like the scorching sun in the sparkling 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: “Got it, then I’ll get up and wash and put on makeup, you take your time to have breakfast.”

Shang Yanci: “Okay, remember to charge your phone.”

“Okay.” Pei Yuning hung up the video, sat up, plugged in her phone to charge, and walked 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, saw Qi Yun standing beside her.

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 one of the best 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. Investigators from other subsidiaries have all taken up their posts. In addition, although you told City A to conduct self-inspection and self-correction, there is no guarantee that there are no fish that slip through the net, so I still arranged two people to verify it privately at the same time in case of emergency.”

Pei Yuning walked towards the restaurant: “You are still thoughtful. Have you had breakfast? Let’s go together.”

Qi Yun: “No, I’ve had it.”

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 breakfast, Pei Yuning and Qi Yun and his party took a car to the company.

The extended version of Lincoln stopped downstairs of the company, 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 raised their hands to keep some distance between them and Pei Yuning.

The soaked general manager cried loudly: “I have made so many contributions to the Pei Group, isn’t it just letting the newcomer drink one more glass of wine at the table? You just start it as you say, is there any justice in the world?”

It was the rush hour for work, and people passing by were in a hurry. Occasionally, a few of them slowed down, took a few photos secretly, and then left quickly.

It was raining, and Pei Yuning was already in a bad mood. At this moment, she was too lazy to respond to him and was reluctant to even give him a glance.

Qi Yun said in a serious tone, “Regarding your compensation, it was deposited into your salary card when you were fired last night. As for the adverse effects you have brought to Pei Group, our company will pursue legal responsibility later.”

The general manager was stunned. He had seen Qi Yun once from a distance before, but he always took on big and difficult cases. Why did he condescend to come to City A this time?

The general manager still doesn’t know what happened inside the box after he walked out. The key members of the company kept it secret from him and tried their best to investigate what Pei Yuning had said, hoping to replace the position of 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 in front of the company’s door is likely to be posted online.”

Deputy Manager: “Yes, President Pei.”

Half an hour later, a hot search went straight to Weibo.

Occupational Company News V: [This morning, Pei Group’s subsidiary in City A took advantage of its power to bully people and maliciously dismissed an employee who had worked for many years. He was beaten in the rain and had no one to turn to for help. Attached picture ×9, pictures speak louder than words. ］

Netizens were outraged in the comment section:

［How despicable! That employee came to ask for an explanation despite the rain. He must have suffered a lot of grievances. ］

［Sue Pei Group and ask them for compensation. In today’s society, how can you still fire employees without reason? ］

［Is the woman being protected in the middle the mistress of the company’s top executives? ］

［Look at those two bodyguards. They look fierce. Are they gangsters? It is recommended to investigate the Pei Group strictly. ］

［Big companies are chaotic, and the current employment environment is too bad. ］

At the same time, two other hot searches took the top spot.

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. One is the surveillance video at the company’s entrance, which restores what happened at that time. Pei

Group’s A City subsidiary V: [The above is all the truth. Any individual or collective speech that distorts right and maliciously smears our company’s image has been captured as evidence. A lawyer’s letter will be sent to them later and we will hold them accountable to the end. Pei

Group V: This male employee was dismissed last night due to his bad personal conduct, and the compensation has been paid in full. Based on the results of further investigation, our company will hold him accountable according to law. We have now launched a relevant investigation into all our subsidiaries. Once any violations are found, they will be dismissed immediately and will never be re-employed again. Pei Group firmly protects the legitimate rights and interests of women and is committed to creating a fair and equal working environment. ]

Then the tone of the comments section instantly reversed——

［Is it reasonable to force others to drink? Look how scared the girl is. She’s even crying when she speaks. If I don’t fire you, a drunkard, do I have to keep you as a supporter? ］

［If you just reach out to stop someone, can that be called assault? Nowadays, marketing accounts always exaggerate. ］

［It is not capital that empathizes with women, but women who empathize with women. Therefore, we still need to strengthen ourselves so that we can have absolute voice. ］

［I am already writing my resignation report. 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 truth has been uncovered, the Pei Group dares to stand up and defend women openly. Some big companies are rotten to the core, so why are they pretending? ］

［Internal staff of Beijing Pei Group came uninvited. Our company’s treatment is really good. We will arrange separate lounges and feeding rooms for pregnant and breastfeeding female employees, and the paid maternity leave is a whole month longer than that of other companies. If your body has not recovered well after giving birth, you can go to the hospital to get a certificate and apply to work from home. It has been ten years since I joined the company, and I have never been forced to drink at the table. ］

［The reason why I don’t join Pei Group is the same as why I don’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 girl, post it here! ］

[The lady upstairs is named Pei Yuning. I had the honor of meeting her when I worked with her. She is super 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 black marketer and discovered that it was a rival company that took advantage of the situation and exploited the loophole.

So Pei Yuning passed the evidence he found to the rival of the rival company for free. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, so let them fight each other.
