What is the most distorted statement you have ever heard?
My boss was obsessed with my beautiful fiancée. He even had the audacity to tell me so.
I couldn’t help it and punched him.
Only after being caught on camera did I regret throwing that punch.
01
On the weekend, my boss Zhang Wei called me to the company and said he had something important to discuss.
During this period, I am undergoing internal evaluation, and if I pass the assessment, I will be promoted to the leader of Planning Group 1.
Zhang Wei pulled me to a corner and said that the top management was half supportive and half wait-and-see, and the decision-making power fell on him.
I frowned, anticipating what request he was going to make. Fatty Zhang was a person who would never suffer any loss.
He whispered something in my ear.
He said, “Lin Kai, Xiaoling is your fiancée, let me have fun with her for one night. Just one night is fine. I promise that everything will go smoothly from now on, Team Leader Lin.”
I couldn’t help myself and punched him in the face.
The next day, the video of me beating someone up went viral. The company didn’t fire me, but I was transferred to the worst team downstairs.
Then I realized that all of this was part of Zhang Wei’s plan, including that corner and the obscene smile he had on the ground after he fell.
From the very beginning, Zhang Wei wanted me to throw that punch.
Xiaoling and I were both recruited from the same batch of graduates and gradually established a relationship during our three years of work. However, the company prohibits office romances.
We never made it public.
Last year, after several projects I led went online, the data were very good, and monetization was gradually carried out. In addition, due to the health reasons of the original team leader, Xiaoling said that if there was no accident, I would definitely take over.
“It’s not even close.”
Before I could say anything, Xiaoling kissed me.
“Shut up and don’t contradict the leader!”
I looked at Xiaoling gently. She had delicate features, the skin of a girl in her early twenties, a voluptuous figure, and her eyes curved when she smiled. How could she deserve to fall in love with me?
“I just think you’re stupid,” she said.
We plan to get married on May Day next year, and both sets of parents have met each other.
I thought everything was getting better until I met Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei is 45 years old, his whole face looks like it was inflated, half of it is fat. Especially those droopy eyes, they always look like they are going to peel you off. He transferred from the headquarters two years ago. I heard that he has no skills, but he is proficient in interpersonal relationships and has a lot of negative information about the leaders.
When he first came, there were rumors that he liked to have sex with his subordinates’ wives, but because this statement was too anti-intellectual, few people believed it.
Turns out it’s fucking true!
The result of this punch was that I was still the team leader, but was transferred to the second floor planning group 2. Group 2 was the weakest team in Yunkai, and the animation projects it invested in and produced had a poor reputation, not to mention other benefits.
There are rumors that the superiors will cancel this group within a year.
On the other hand, Group 2 is the most tired in the entire company and often works overtime blindly.
Zhang Wei’s meaning was very clear. He wanted me to waste my time in Planning Group 2. And now Xiaoling is working directly under him. I am very worried.
After the transfer, I used to get off work at 8 o’clock but now I get off work at 10 o’clock in the evening. I am very tired when I get home. I often don’t even take a shower and just lie down on the bed and fall asleep.
One day when I came back, Xiaoling immediately turned her face away, wiped her face quickly with her hands, and then greeted me with a smile.
“Are you tired? Did you not eat anything? Lin Kai, let me make you some egg fried rice…”
I saw her eyes were red, obviously she had just cried. I held her hand and asked what was going on!
She shook her head and said, “It’s okay. Let’s go out for crayfish. We haven’t been out for a long time.”
Xiaoling took my hand, her eyes dull, and tried to change the subject.
She is a very strong person.
The more she acts like this, the more worried I become.
“What the hell is going on?! Tell me, Xiao Ling!”
The last few words were spoken very loudly. Fatigue and anxiety made me a little out of control, which scared Xiaoling.
Then I hugged her and kept saying sorry.
She hugged me, very tightly, sobbing at first, and then began to cry little by little.
She said that after get off work today, Zhang Wei kissed her on the left cheek when he passed by her workstation.
“I’ll fucking destroy him, fuck!”
My blood pressure went up and Xiaoling held me back.
“This is workplace sexual harassment, let’s call the police!”
“You can’t go.” Xiaoling pulled me, “Zhang Wei said he reserves the right to sue you.”
“Sue?! Haha, I just punched him and you’re suing me!”
I got angrier and angrier the more I spoke, and my chin was shaking.
“He showed me the injury report. He said that when he fell, his head hit the corner of the table. The hospital assessed it as a minor injury. He will…”
“What will happen to him!?”
Xiao Ling’s eyes were obviously a little panicked: “He said… he would reserve the right to sue you. Once it is assessed as a minor injury, it will constitute a criminal offense.”
“Zhang Wei lied to you!”
“He said that once the lawsuit is filed, even if the result is a suspended sentence, it will be recorded in the file and will affect our children in the future…they won’t be able to take the civil service exam.” Xiaoling buried her face in her hands.
I stopped talking, my hands were shaking with anger.
Zhang Wei either “made” a medical report to deliberately scare Xiaoling, or he used some means to get the hospital staff to do something.
Judging from his personality, the former is more likely.
I was not afraid that he would sue me, but that he would scare and deceive Xiaoling again and again. If Xiaoling was desperate, she would go to bed with this beast to protect me.
I will never let myself go in my life.
“Why don’t you quit?” I said.
Xiaoling didn’t respond.
We have just paid the down payment for this house, and we have to pay 13,000 yuan in loans every month. If one of us loses his job, the pressure of repaying the loan will fall on the other. Secondly, it is difficult to find a job during the epidemic, and Yunkai is one of the top three in our industry. After leaving, Xiaoling may not be able to find a better one.
The most important point is that making animation has always been Xiaoling’s pursuit. I have no right to ask her to give up.
Before going to bed, I hugged Xiaoling and whispered in her ear, “Never leave alone again.”
She kissed me and said, “I understand, Lin Kai, I only belong to you.”
I didn’t sleep all night that night.
I know Zhang Wei will take further action next. His perverted hobby is to attack the wives of his subordinates.
Now his eyes are on Xiaoling.
02
The next day, I was on the second floor, still thinking about what happened upstairs.
Xu Cheng is my colleague and we have a relatively good relationship. During lunch, he said, “Brother Kai, Zhang Wei still removed your name and wrote his own name on the chief planning of Wings Flying to the Sky.”
My heart sank.
“Wings Flying to the Sky” is a project I have been following for two years. I have stayed up countless nights to make outlines, find mature screenwriters, and find directors with suitable styles. It is expected to be broadcast in the second half of this year, and so far, the effect of the film is very good. Fans of the original novel are also promoting it on various platforms. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be another hit drama.
It was at this time that Zhang Wei monopolized all my efforts over the past two years.
I had this feeling when I handed in the project schedule, but I didn’t expect it to come so soon.
I called Chen Gong, the screenwriter of “Wings Flying to the Sky”, and he kept complaining to me that the ending that had already been prepared had been changed again. I read the revision suggestions provided by Zhang Wei, and it was basically just adding the most vulgar and mainstream plot on the market.
“Well, there is basically no room for maneuver, and the animation team is pushing me again. You said this is the problem. Lin Kai, why don’t you take responsibility?”
I can’t answer that.
After comforting Teacher Chen a little, I told him about the internal adjustments, and he agreed to make the changes.
Xu Cheng was always by my side. He asked me why I was still working hard. I said I had been following him for two years after all.
When I got off work, I went upstairs to pick up Xiaoling to go home together, and I happened to see Zhang Wei walking over.
I wanted to pick up the chair next to me and throw it at the old dog, but reason calmed me down.
“Zhang Wei, you can remove me from the project, but the animation is already in the early stages of production. If you change the script now, the pressure will fall on Lao Chen.”
“Then let the screenwriter change it. He’s just a writer, and he’s already been paid so much.”
My fists were clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound.
He came close to me and whispered, “Xiaoling is really delicious. It’s a pity to be with you.”
Zhang Wei took out his phone and showed me a photo. The background was a hotel, and a woman was lying on the bed. Although it was just a glance, the woman’s hair was the same length as Xiaoling’s when she let it down.
I stood there in a daze. Zhang Wei patted my face and left.
It took me ten seconds to compose myself.
Xiaoling has already slept with him?
When did it happen?
Last week?
Last week Xiaoling said she was going shopping with her best friend. Could it be that she was going to meet Zhang Wei?
My whole face was gray.
I passed by Xiaoling’s workstation. She packed up her things consciously and followed me, as usual.
There was nothing unusual on her face. We walked into the elevator one after the other. To others, we were just ordinary colleagues.
After leaving the company, we took the subway together, and after three stops, we finally got out of the company.
There were basically no acquaintances left, and Xiaoling took my hand consciously, but I didn’t respond.
Along the way, she took the initiative to talk to me, but I ignored her.
My mind hasn’t cooled down yet and I can’t accept the fact that my girlfriend was taken advantage of by a pig.
When we got home, Xiaoling also felt that the atmosphere was not right. She came up to kiss me, but I pushed her away and looked her up and down coldly.
“Lin Kai, what are you doing today?”
“What am I doing? Su Ling, you have the nerve to ask me what I did?”
She was stunned for a moment. I didn’t expect her to say such a thing, but I can’t back down now.
“What…what do you mean, Lin Kai? What do you mean by that?”
“You were with Zhang Wei last week, right?”
I squeezed these words out of my teeth. I was very angry and scared. I was angry that Xiaoling was actually deceived by him, and I was scared that after I said these words, our relationship would not be able to end.
Xiaoling opened her mouth and trembled her lower lip. She tried to speak several times but couldn’t utter a word.
Slowly, her eyes were filled with tears.
“Lin Kai, I, I, I don’t know what you heard from someone, but, but I, Su Ling, can swear to heaven, if I do anything behind your back, I, I… will not die a good death!”
As Xiaoling spoke, she squatted down and started crying.
I felt like I had been hit by a club. I didn’t trust my fiancée, but believed the words of a villain.
The photo was actually so blurry that I couldn’t even see it clearly.
“Lin Kai, you are not like this. Don’t become like this.”
“If you don’t believe me, I’ll show you my phone.”
“I have never done anything to let you down,” she said while crying.
I hugged Xiaoling, and she cried more and more sadly, as if all the grievances she had suffered during this period of time were vented.
Yes, in fact, it’s not just me, she is also under tremendous pressure.
This is Zhang Wei’s purpose. He doesn’t just want a one-night stand, but to snatch Xiaoling away from me.
He killed people and destroyed their hearts, but I was restrained by him step by step.
I comforted Xiaoling for a while and she went to take a shower. I was still in a daze, but judging from Xiaoling’s performance, Zhang Wei should not have succeeded yet.
Xiaoling said to me, otherwise you look at my phone.
As if I had received some kind of permission, I still opened Xiaoling’s phone. Zhang Wei’s WeChat chat with Xiaoling was completely normal between superiors and subordinates.
[Finish the proposal over the weekend and give it to me on Monday.]
[Young people should not stay up late all the time. Go and have a relationship early after work. ]
The most recent one was the chat record from three months ago. At that time, he didn’t know that Xiaoling and I were in a relationship. Just looking at the content, he seemed like a reasonable elder.
I felt sick.
Just then, a message popped up in Xiaoling’s private Weibo: This Saturday, three o’clock in the afternoon, don’t forget.
The person who sent this message is a person whose profile picture is a sunflower.
[Lin Kai is too impulsive. Xiaoling, have you really thought about leaving your future to such a person? ]
[Actually, I fell in love with you when I first came to Yunkai. ]
[If you have any questions at work, you can ask me. Last time, you said that the animation team was very passive and refused to cooperate with you in modifying the project plan. I have already talked to them. Don’t worry, just go for it~]
Most of these messages were sent before I was transferred to the second floor, and they were all sent during working hours.
Xiaoling didn’t respond. Zhang Wei tried to ask Xiaoling out for dinner several times, but she naturally refused.
I can understand Xiaoling’s mentality, because no one knows about our relationship, and there are indeed some young men in the company who pursue her openly or secretly. So she thought Zhang Wei was just one of them, and she would give up after a few polite rejections.
She is so naive.
Just a few days ago, Zhang Wei threatened Xiao Ling, saying, “Let’s go out for dinner next Saturday. As long as you and I have a good meal and we talk things out, I won’t bother Lin Kai again.” He even promised that he would find a chance to transfer me back to Group 1 in the second half of the year.
Even through the screen, I could feel Xiaoling’s torment. She replied a day later.
【Just having a meal? 】
【It’s just a meal. 】
【good.】
I put my phone back where it belonged.
I can hardly handle it alone.
That night, I went to find Li Xiao.
03
Li Xiao was my roommate in college. He spent most of his time wandering around among women. When he was a junior, he was exposed to be dating four girls at the same time, and he thought he would be scolded by the whole school.
As a result, his four girlfriends stood up to support him at the same time and said they knew about the situation.
Even now, many years after graduation, there are still many girls in our department who hate him.
After all, we are roommates, so we still keep in touch occasionally. The main thing is that when something like this happens, I really can’t think of anyone else to help.
“Lin Kai, your leadership level is not low.”
“…”
After listening to my complaints, Li Xiao teased, “I’m most afraid of leaders like you. You’ve read a lot of porn, but you have the means and status, unlike those little losers who can only fantasize. I guess you’ve succeeded in your career. But this guy is really not a decent person. I never touch those who are married or have fiancés.”
When he said this, I could only smile bitterly.
Li Xiao is not a handsome guy at first sight, but his dressing style makes people feel comfortable. You can relax quickly when you are with him.
“Just laugh, Lin Kai. You were completely controlled by him before. Don’t make any more mistakes.”
“what do I do?”
“Just do what you have to do at work. You still have to work even if you are assigned to the worst team. The reason you didn’t get fired for hitting someone is because you are good at business. To put it bluntly, you made money for the company. If you lose this basic foundation, then you will have no capital to fight Zhang Wei at all.”
What Li Xiao said makes a lot of sense.
During this period, I didn’t communicate well with the people in Group 2, and I didn’t even take a close look at the projects they were handling.
If this continues, I will be fired from the company in a year or two.
As a bystander, Li Xiao was still calmer than me.
Li Xiao frowned: “Xiaoling’s side…”
Me: “Xiaoling didn’t do anything to offend me.”
Li Xiao: “It’s temporary. She does love you deeply now. But you have begun to doubt her. Zhang Wei wants to destroy your relationship step by step. You will quarrel and be suspicious of each other. Work is tiring, and a girl just wants to be in the arms of her lover after get off work. If a boyfriend treats her like a criminal, it will only hurt this relationship.”
“Um……”
We’ve been talking a lot less lately.
As soon as I open my mouth, I can’t help but talk about those trivial things.
Li Xiao said seriously, “Lin Kai, you are a good person, and Su Ling is also a good girl. This is not your fault, but the differences are like a snowball, they will keep rolling. When it reaches a certain point, the relationship cannot be repaired.”
“So what should I do now? Just watch Zhang Wei approach Xiaoling step by step?”
“Didn’t they agree to meet on Saturday? Follow and see what Zhang Wei’s next plan is. Keep calm and trust your girlfriend. Also, give me the information about this guy and I’ll check his background for you.”
I drank the wine in my glass in one gulp: “Thanks, Li Xiao.”
“Why are you talking about this? You’re the only one among my college friends who’s still willing to interact with me.”
Xiaoling told me she was going to meet her bestie on the weekend, so she packed up and went out. I changed my clothes and followed her.
I kept a distance of about two meters from her, and since everyone was wearing a mask, she naturally didn’t notice me.
After taking four subway stops, Xiaoling walked into a coffee shop and Zhang Wei was already waiting there.
He was wearing a very sexy floral shirt, which couldn’t cover his creamy belly.
I sat in a corner behind the two of them. After Xiaoling sat down, Zhang Wei’s hand grabbed hers dishonestly. Xiaoling instinctively shook it off.
“Mr. Zhang, please respect yourself a little.”
After listening to Li Xiao’s words, I calmed down a lot. I was very angry, but I didn’t stand up.
Zhang Wei held his head in his hands. “Xiaoling, I called you out this time because I wanted to talk about Lin Kai. You see, he basically beat me up and gave me a concussion, but I didn’t sue him. I even tried my best to protect him in front of the company. Why? Wasn’t it to take care of your feelings?”
I almost vomited after listening to it.
At this moment, Zhang Wei took out a video from his mobile phone. I couldn’t see it clearly from where I was, but I saw that Xiaoling’s expression suddenly changed.
Shock was written all over her face.
What did she see?
Zhang Wei: “Someone else told me that. I’ve already told him not to wear it outside. Why are you always worrying about me? This is Lin Kai, your boyfriend. Xiaoling, look at the kind of person he is!”
What on earth is this?!
My butt felt like it was crawling with ants, so I wanted to stand up.
I feel like Zhang Wei is trying to seduce Xiaoling again.
I really wanted to go over and stop it, but like Li Xiao said, if I did that, Xiaoling would find out that I was following her.
No matter how good the reasons were, she understood that I did this because I didn’t trust her.
Zhang Wei, this beast!
When I got home, Xiaoling no longer looked me in the eye when she talked to me, her eyes were dull.
“How was your shopping today?” I asked tentatively.
“Not so good.”
“Are you unhappy?”
“No.”
She ate her meal without saying another word.
I felt so uncomfortable, but I wanted to tell her directly what she saw, but I couldn’t say it. Xiaoling didn’t know I was in the cafe.
The next day, I went directly to Zhang Wei’s office to ask him what he had shown Xiaoling. I didn’t mention the stalking incident, but just hinted that we had a big fight yesterday.
Zhang Wei believed it completely and showed me his “masterpiece” proudly.
“Don’t blink, Lin Kai.”
As the video played, my blood pressure rose.
Three months ago, our company organized a team building trip to a hot spring hotel. At first, the boys and girls ate together, and then many girls were tired and went back to the hotel to rest, while Zhang Wei took the boys to the next one, saying that they were going to sing karaoke.
I didn’t really want to go at that time, but on the one hand, I didn’t want to be a loner, and on the other hand, I felt that I wouldn’t be able to find Xiaoling if I went back, so I went.
It turned out that the KTV Zhang Wei took them to was not a serious place. After they had sung a few songs, some scantily clad ladies walked in.
I already felt something was wrong, and most of my colleagues were otakus, so I didn’t know how to deal with the situation. Zhang Wei joked that the company was rewarding the warriors, so don’t think too much. The lady just wanted to sing with everyone, so hurry up and grab the microphone.
The girls were indeed quite enthusiastic, and the atmosphere gradually became less awkward, with some people even having a great time.
I was huddled in a corner playing with my phone when a young lady came and sat next to me. Zhang Wei also came over to chat with me (at that time I felt that as a leader, he didn’t have any airs). We talked about work and life.
During this period, Zhang Wei kept forcing me to drink.
After that, I just remember feeling dizzy in the private room.
In this video, I fell drunk in front of a lady. The lady held me, poured herself some wine, stood up, opened her mouth, and poured the wine into my mouth.
All my memories came back. A lot of people were making a fuss and it was very noisy. Zhang Wei whispered something to her and she then “made me drink”.
In this video, he removed the noise of the booing and also cut off the beginning and the end, making it appear that there were only a few people in the box.
Oh shit!
I felt dizzy and my hands ached from clenching my fists.
Zhang Wei stood up and poured himself a glass of water.
“Oh, you’ve changed your personality. Lin Kai is really patient. I’m ready to be beaten by you again.”
“Beat you again so that the board of directors can kick me out?”
I stared at him coldly.
“Hehe.” He laughed so hard that his eyes could no longer be seen.
Zhang Wei has taken the wrong path. I, Lin Kai, am indeed not very smart. In some respects, I am not as good as Zhang Wei in dealing with people, but there is one thing.
Never bully an honest person.
I can put everything aside and protect Xiaoling.
Zhang Wei said with a wicked smile: “Wait until I have sex with your fiancée, and see if you can still bear it.”
A few colleagues came over, and I pointed at his water dispenser and said loudly, “Mr. Zhang, you’re out of water. Let me bring you a bucket of water.”
He looked at me with some doubt, and said cautiously, “It’s okay, I’ll go out and get some water myself.” When he finished talking to his colleagues, I had already left his office.
What he didn’t know was that I had installed a bug at his workstation.
Now, I heard everything Zhang Wei said clearly.
This week, I opened a new document every time after work. Once there was something worth recording, I would record the time and length.
I found that there should be a folder in Zhang Wei’s computer, which contains the dirty information of most of the senior executives. Some of the parties involved may not even know about it.
Second, he had physical relationships with at least two women in the company. One of them was the financial officer, and Zhang Wei would transfer 30,000 yuan to her account every month. Some of the black material was also given to him by the financial officer.
Third, Zhang Wei used his position to leak part of the company’s data to external partner companies.
I also learned that he would occasionally call Xiaoling to his office, but they would only talk about work, even if Xiaoling didn’t want to come. I could clearly feel that Xiaoling was resistant at first, but after more and more times, she was not as resistant as she was at the beginning.
She probably thought that he wouldn’t do anything in the office.
In contrast, Xiaoling ignored me after she returned home.
I understand that anyone who watches that video would not be able to accept their boyfriend being forced to drink like this.
I have been waiting, waiting for an opportunity to explain, waiting for an opportunity for revenge.
Until this opportunity came.
Li Xiao asked me out on the weekend. He looked very excited.
“You are a very playful leader.”
“What’s the meaning?”
Li Xiao said that Zhang Wei was a complete scumbag. He went to bed with women not just to satisfy his sexual desires. On the other hand, he would live broadcast the process, edit it, and upload it to sell to a membership website in South Korea.
“The one in Room N in Korea?”
“Yes”
“Is this a crime?”
“Of course it counts, it completely violates my punishment!”
Li Xiao licked his lips, like a beast that had captured its prey.
“First, he has good protection measures, and he will definitely blur it out later. Second, even if you sneak into the live broadcast room, you can’t find the room number of the report, because the person has already finished the job and left. Third, even if you can confirm that the person is Zhang Wei, there are no witnesses.”
“Why is there no evidence?!”
“Think about it, the people who slept with him were wives who had evidence against them. I just hope that this incident never happened and that they would not sue him at all.”
This world does have too many dark sides. If it weren’t for Li Xiao, a newbie like me would have no chance of success.
“Li Xiao, how do you know so much?”
He smiled and said, “I have a friend who does the same thing as him.”
I narrowed my eyes at him.
Li Xiao: “Don’t look at me like that. At least I won’t use coercion or sneak shots like this grandson. They are all willing to fight and be beaten. I have principles.”
I complain, if you had principles you wouldn’t be hooking up with so many girls.
Li Xiao shook his head and said that he was not in favor of marriage and would tell the other party whether they could accept him/her before falling in love.
He became unhappy when he saw me comparing him with Zhang Wei.
Well, to defeat the big devil, we need the power of the little devil.
Zhang Wei is very smart, but also very stupid. He is stupid because he keeps forcing others to do what they want and keeps walking on a tightrope.
This time, I’m going to make him fall hard.
04
The first thing I did after I got back was to confess everything to Xiaoling.
Xiaoling still ignores me.
“Really, I didn’t do anything. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Xu Cheng or Li Mingming, they were both there. Zhang Wei cut off the beginning and the end of the video!”
Xiaoling stared at me and said, “I know this has nothing to do with you. I’ve known you for three years, and I still don’t know what kind of person you are?”
“So you’re mad at me?”
“I’m angry that you keep everything to yourself and never tell me.”
“I……”
“It doesn’t matter if you doubt me, Lin Kai. What I think is that you will know after a long time. You are my Su Ling’s man, I am sure of it. I will never do anything to let you down!”
I don’t know what to say, my nose is sore.
During this period of time, I have neglected Xiaoling’s feelings.
“I’m telling you something!”
Seeing that I was about to cry, Xiaoling changed her tone to a lighter one.
During this time, while Zhang Wei was getting close to Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling was also getting close to Zhang Wei. (I blamed her for not rejecting Zhang Wei before, I am a pig)
It turned out that Zhang Wei had a second WeChat account. In addition to private messages on Weibo, he often used the second WeChat account to show off to Xiaoling, and Xiaoling suspected that he had contact with other women in the company.
Xiaoling is really smart!
I told her that there was no doubt about it, but Li Xiao’s existence was hidden. I said it was the company’s finance department, and the two of them were in a relationship of support.
Xiaoling nodded and muttered, “No wonder, I saw it a long time ago.”
I said I wanted to try to expose Zhang Wei through finance.
Xiaoling stopped me and said that she had thought about this plan before and had been involved in finance, but she found that the other party was very tight-lipped.
“Looking for her now will only alert the enemy! Lin Kai, don’t do that.”
“Well, after all, I have the same interests as Zhang Wei.”
Then I told her about Zhang Wei’s live broadcast. Xiaoling’s face turned red after hearing it. I had never seen her so angry.
It was even the first time I heard her swear in the three years we’ve been together.
“What does this old pig think of women?! Damn it.”
“puff.”
“What are you laughing at! Lin Kai, none of you men are good!”
“Don’t use your map cannon.”
Although I was also angry, I felt it was a little funny when I saw Xiaoling like this for the first time.
Xiaoling looked at me seriously and said, “We must stop him.”
Me: “I know that, but if the finance lady can’t help, then we have to find another way.”
“I have a plan.”
“What?”
She hesitated, but still said it.
“Actually, Zhang Wei asked me out a while ago. He asked me to go to a hotel to discuss something about you.”
“Xiaoling, you must not go!”
“But now maybe we can use this to our advantage to get evidence.”
Of course I know that there is no risk without risk, but she is my girlfriend. If something goes wrong, I don’t even want to imagine the consequences.
If I were a woman, I would definitely go by myself and not let Xiaoling take risks, but I am not.
It suddenly dawned on me how brave she was.
Xiaoling: “Trust me, Lin Kai, I will definitely protect myself. And then, I can’t let him harm others anymore.”
“Protect yourself.”
“Um.”
05
Xiaoling gave me a screenshot of her chat history with Zhang Wei.
She agreed to meet Zhang Wei on the weekend, and Zhang Wei agreed to give her the injury report.
At this time, Zhang Wei probably felt that Xiaoling was too gullible and the fish took the bait.
I was still worried, so I went to find Guo Jing.
In addition to finance, Guo Jing was also a woman who was harmed by Zhang Wei and left the company a year ago.
When I found her new workplace and talked about this topic, she visibly shook. Although she still looked young, her eyes were dull.
Guo Jing told me that her husband was a partner of Yunkai and was set up by Zhang Wei. He made a big mistake and may have to pay tens of millions of yuan in compensation if it is exposed. He can keep it secret, but he needs to…
I said that Zhang Wei is still doing the same thing now, and this workplace sexual harassment has affected too many people. Can I appear in court as a witness and sue him?
There were not many people on this road and it was dark, so I couldn’t see her expression clearly.
So her sudden kneeling scared me completely.
“Please, don’t let me get involved in this anymore. My husband has been paralyzed since he found out about the money he owed.”
“I don’t want to face that person again. Please, I’ll kowtow to you.”
“As long as you keep it a secret, I’ll agree to anything.”
A car passed by, and in the flash of the headlights, I saw her desperate eyes.
Such a beautiful and young woman, but she gives me an old feeling.
I couldn’t say anything. Finally, I said slowly, “Ms. Guo, please wait. I will send Zhang Wei to jail.”
Although she was reluctant to come forward, Guo Jing provided an important clue: never eat anything given by Zhang Wei.
Before she left, she turned around and whispered, “Your girlfriend is really brave. Thank her for me.”
“Yes, I will tell her.”
At that moment I realized that the only ones who could help us were Xiaoling and I.
On that day, Xiaoling started live streaming before entering the hotel. After entering the hotel, she placed her phone on the table. Zhang Wei was stunned when he saw this and also placed his phone on the table.
In the video, Xiaoling was sitting by the bed. Although she was calm, I could still see that she was nervous.
Zhang Wei sat next to her, with one hand on Xiaoling’s shoulder. My palms were almost sweating. Xiaoling began to ask for his words.
Xiao Ling: “Mr. Zhang, can you please let us go? We just bought a house and we still have millions of mortgage. Please let Lin Kai go, and let me go too.”
As she spoke, her eyes turned red.
I believe Xiaoling’s true feelings are reflected here.
Zhang Wei wiped away Xiaoling’s tears and looked extremely gentle.
Zhang Wei: “My dear, please let me go. I don’t want to break you up. The company prohibits office romance, which I also think is not open-minded. As long as it does not affect the performance, it doesn’t matter at all, right? Next year, I will propose to the board of directors to abolish this rule.”
Xiaoling didn’t say anything.
Zhang Wei continued: “I don’t want anything, just you give me one time. Just one time is enough. The first time I was transferred to the company, I saw you and I couldn’t help it. You are really beautiful.”
I vomited and his face moved close to Xiaoling. I could feel Xiaoling was trying hard to suppress her disgust.
Xiaoling: “But I really can’t betray him.”
Zhang Wei suddenly kissed Xiaoling, and Xiaoling hid behind him.
“It smells so good.”
“Mr. Zhang, please don’t do this!”
Zhang Wei nodded regretfully: “I know, I won’t force you. How about this, you use your hands first, help me with your hands. I feel really uncomfortable now.”
Zhang Wei leaned towards Xiaoling again.
My palms are sweaty.
Xiaoling tried to get him to say something first: “You have more than one lover in the company, right?”
Zhang Wei smiled: “Hey, if you want to know this, I’ll tell you one by one later.”
Just then, there was a voice outside the door. Zhang Wei said that the takeaway had arrived and was at the entrance of the corridor, and asked Xiaoling to help pick it up. (He said he lost his mask, what a ridiculous excuse)
As soon as Xiaoling left, he poured two glasses of water and put some powder in them. Then he turned on his phone and probably started a live broadcast.
I wanted to call Xiaoling and remind her not to drink the water, but I stopped immediately because I was afraid that if I called her and Zhang Wei went to see, I would be exposed.
I just sent her a message with only two words: Don’t drink.
But I didn’t expect that Xiaoling’s mobile phone was always placed in the corner, broadcasting live, and was not at hand at all.
I’m such an idiot!
After Xiaoling came back, she remained alert and did not drink any water.
Zhang Wei didn’t force her. He took out the injury report and wanted to tear it up in front of Xiaoling.
Xiaoling asked you to show it to me.
On the other hand, I ran to the company’s meeting room, sweating profusely. At this time, the overseas distributors, overseas buyers, and senior executives were all there, and the film screening originally scheduled for Monday was postponed to Saturday.
When I arrived at the scene, the head of the art group complained that Mr. Zhang had not arrived yet.
The assistant said that I should send a message to ask, but how could Zhang Wei receive the message? His phone was live streaming and was not at hand. He was afraid that Xiaoling would find out, so he turned it to silent mode.
But I was wrong. In the video, Zhang Wei’s phone rang!
He was live streaming using another phone.
As expected, this old fox is so cautious, how come he only has two mobile phones.
But, but he didn’t watch?!
He took a quick glance and threw the phone aside.
I said to the head of the art group, what did you send out.
I said, Mr. Zhang, where are you?
I breathed a sigh of relief. The old man ignored the text messages from his subordinates.
Because he had no idea the meeting was postponed to now.
What happened was that Xiaoling had sent Zhang Wei away, and I used his WeChat account and his name to send a message to the relevant personnel saying that the test film would be rescheduled at the last minute.
Everyone was waiting for the pilot episode of “Wings to the Sky”, but when the video showed the scene of the hotel with Zhang Wei lying on Xiaoling and twisting his fat body, everyone was stunned.
A few seconds later, an executive reacted and said in a choked voice, “What’s going on? Stop it now.” Several young supervisors from other companies took photos with their mobile phones.
I bit my lips desperately. He tried to take off my fiancée’s coat. The first two buttons had been unbuttoned. Xiaoling tried her best to protect herself.
The water on the table was untouched, but half of the hotel’s own water was drunk.
Before coming, Zhang Wei injected something into the water brought by the hotel.
Xiaoling was shouting and crying, but this was not acting, she was almost out of strength.
I borrowed the art director’s phone and called Zhang Wei. He cursed and said loudly, “I’m busy now. XX (art director’s name) has something to say next Monday! The pilot will be ready for me. If you mess up, don’t come to work.”
I said, “Zhang Wei, this is Lin Kai. I’m watching your live broadcast.”
He calmed down: “Lin, Lin Kai?”
I said, “Not only am I watching your live broadcast, but everyone in the company is watching it, and some are even recording it. Mr. Zhang, you’ve gone too far this time.”
In the small video on my phone, Zhang Wei’s whole face was frozen.
He is probably still judging how much of my words are true and how much are false.
Xiaoling struggled to stand up, buttoned her clothes, and went to the bathroom tremblingly.
Zhang Wei: “Listen to me, don’t joke about the pilot meeting. It was Xiaoling who took the initiative to ask me out. She seduced me…”
He said a lot and I didn’t respond.
The senior officials around were all shocked and still haven’t recovered. The partner company was so embarrassed that they wanted to find a hole to crawl out.
Zhang Wei: “Hey, Lin Kai, say something.”
Zhang Wei: “Lin Kai, don’t worry, I will definitely transfer you back by the end of this year. I have some dirty information about Mr. Li. He…”
Mr. Li shouted, “Tell him to shut up!”
Zhang Wei also heard it on the phone.
The only sound in my ears was the occasional electric current from the phone.
I looked at the watch and started counting down.
“ten.”
“Nine.”
“eight.”
“seven.”
…
Two seconds later, the door was kicked open.
Four young men rushed in, and one of them kicked Zhang Wei’s hands.
There was a scream, and if the hand wasn’t broken, it was probably seriously injured.
Zhang Wei trembled for a moment and then collapsed to the ground.
Zhang Wei: “Who are you!? I called the police, I…”
Xiaoling washed her face, scooped the drink out of her throat, and now looked at Zhang Wei with disgust.
Li Xiao leaned against the hotel room, looking relaxed and contented.
Li Xiao said to a 1.80-meter-tall man, “This guy did what happened to your sister-in-law, and now he wants to do it to other girls.”
“Fuck it!”
The 1.80-meter-tall man took a look at Xiaoling, spat in Zhang Wei’s face, picked up a hotel stool and smashed it on his back.
In the video, I could no longer see Zhang Wei, as he was blocked by several people who were beating him up.
President Li quickly stood up to smooth things over, “I’m sorry for embarrassing you all. I, I didn’t expect this to happen. The preview will be moved to next time. My pillow “Wings to the Sky” will not be affected. The ratings are our bottom line.”
The partner company walked out with a complicated look on their faces.
Mr. Li called me aside and asked me if Zhang Wei had said anything about him.
I said that after Mr. Zhang demoted me to the second floor, we hardly met each other. But he often said that Mr. Li supported him very much and that Mr. Zhang was the priority in all decisions.
The old guy was asking me if I knew any dirt on him. I took it out first, and then hinted that Zhang Wei was relying on something to do whatever he wanted.
Mr. Li rolled his eyes and said he understood.
I turned off my phone, took a taxi to the hotel, and as soon as I entered, I smelled a foul odor.
This group of people actually beat Zhang Wei so hard that he became incontinent, and his urine was all over the floor.
I leaned over and told him about the film screening. He was so angry that he coughed up blood but couldn’t speak.
“Zhang Wei, I set all this up. You are so patient that you didn’t even fight back.”
I remembered what he said to me that time.
But now, it’s not that he won’t fight back, but that he can’t fight back.
He wanted to touch me and smear the blood on me, and I opened my hands and took a step back.
Someone nearby called the police and they arrived quickly.
The person who beat him up had already run away.
Xiaoling cried and told Zhang Wei what happened. Then she pretended to knock Zhang Wei’s phone down and whispered, “What is this?”
After seeing this, a young policeman glanced at his colleague and picked up his phone to show the others: “An overseas website is broadcasting pornographic content live. This person has a serious problem.”
Zhang Wei suddenly bit the policeman with his mouth desperately and tried to snatch the phone like a madman, but his hands were burned by the pressure.
“The police are beating people. The police are beating people.”
Xiaoling and I followed the police properly to take statements, and the last thing we saw was Zhang Wei’s ugly appearance of shouting wildly.
06
Not only is Zhang no longer able to make it in the entertainment industry, he is also said to have been sentenced to more than five years in prison for allegedly live-streaming illegal pornographic videos, disseminating pornographic videos, and rape. The police found more than 40 videos in his home, and the membership income alone reached millions.
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
It is said that he is a small fish in the entire live broadcast circle. In order to protect themselves, those who hid deeper have come out one after another. The water is too deep, and many of the people who were pulled out turned out to be business executives. This case has attracted great attention from the government. Even if Lao Zhang has the help of the gods and does not have to go to jail, he will be hunted down by his peers.
I passed the message to Guo Jing.
Five minutes later, she sent me two words: “Thank you”.
That’s enough, there’s nothing more to say.
Then I deleted her WeChat.
Even if I am not wrong, she probably doesn’t want to see anyone related to Zhang Wei again in this life.
I don’t want to disturb her, and besides, everything is fine in the new life.
Although Xiaoling didn’t get his hands on him, she still has lingering fears about what happened in the hotel that weekend, half a year later. I don’t even dare to think about what would have happened if Li Xiao had failed that day.
I should thank Li Xiao. He spent a lot of effort digging into Zhang Wei’s past, and only then did I know that he had done this kind of thing when he first entered the workplace as a small leader. That was more than ten years ago, in Lincheng.
The other person’s younger brother never gave up and searched for more than ten years.
I said I wanted to treat Li Xiao to a meal, but he shook his head and said, “Forget about the meal. I’ll take you to a new nightclub with lots of girls. I promise not to tell Su Ling.”
I smiled and waved.
He looked at me with some doubt: “Do you really want to spend your whole life with one person?”
I said, “Everyone has different ideas, but I respect your way of life, and please respect mine.”
He smiled and said, “Okay, you just take care of that one and a half acres of land.”
So even now, I still feel guilty. But Xiaoling told me that if I didn’t face it and bring down Zhang Wei, she would just choose to escape.
She said that in addition to courage, I gave her trust.
I said I will never let you suffer this pain again in this life.
Mr. Li transferred me back to Planning Group 1 and made me the chief planner of “Wings Flying to the Sky”. But I proposed to merge Group 2 and integrate the experience of Group 1 into Group 2. He agreed.
Xiaoling said, “Congratulations to Team Leader Lin on your promotion. Today we can finally celebrate officially.”
I said, wait a minute, and I took out my wedding ring from behind.
“Let’s get married.”
