“Speak.”
In front of her subordinates, Liu Lu was still quite aloof, simply uttering one word.
“President Liu, that Wei Facai you hired last month is simply out of line. He actually harassed a receptionist at the hotel, and the girl has even brought a complaint to me.”
“Shouldn’t we just fire someone like that directly?”
Hearing this, Liu Lu slightly furrowed her brow, “That Wei Facai looks pretty honest, how could he possibly harass the receptionist at the hotel?”
“Yes, I also find it quite surprising!”
“Wei Facai gives the impression of being very reliable, but the receptionist girl has run to me to complain, saying that Wei Facai is always looking for excuses to chat with her, and even hinted at her to go to the guest room upstairs!”
“Some people really can’t be judged by their appearance!”
Zhou Wenxiang lamented with a look of regret.
Liu Lu sized up Zhou Wenxiang, feeling that something was fishy. She believed in her own judgment of character, and the Wei Facai who she hired last month had seemed like an earnest and dependable person; it didn’t seem likely that he would harass a receptionist, it was a bit illogical!
“Which receptionist did he harass?” Liu Lu asked.
“Zhang Ying,” Zhou Wenxiang replied.
“I got it, I will investigate this matter thoroughly.”
“You can go back to your tasks for now!”
Liu Lu waved her hand dismissively, thinking that after dinner with Ma Tianjiao, she would find Zhang Ying to inquire about the situation.
Listening to only one side of a story is not something Liu Lu would do; she knew this principle well.
“Uh…”
Zhou Wenxiang was slightly taken aback, not expecting Liu Lu to react this way. He had thought she would be too lazy to care about such trifles and let him handle it.
“President Liu, the girl has cried. We have to give her an explanation!” Zhou Wenxiang hesitated before adding.
“Okay, I got it.”
Liu Lu waved her hand again, clearly not wanting to listen to any more of his nonsense.
Recognizing the hint, Zhou Wenxiang tactfully departed. He called Zhang Ying to a secluded corner on the first floor of the lobby: “I’ve finished speaking with President Liu.”
“She might come to verify the situation with you. Just stick to what we’ve arranged.”
“What? She’s going to verify it?”
Zhang Ying was taken aback, showing a trace of panic on her face.
“It’s just a formality, don’t panic.”
Zhou Wenxiang patted Zhang Ying gently on the buttocks, saying with a chuckle, “Anyway, if you want your brother to take over Wei Facai’s position at the company, we need to get him fired first.”
“Yeah, I know.”
“So, I just stick to what we’ve agreed on, right?” Zhang Ying asked again.
“Right, just stay cool!”
As Zhou Wenxiang savored the soft elasticity under his palm, he said, “President Liu is serious about her work, but with this kind of issue, she’s just following procedure, especially since she has no ties with Wei Facai.”
“Mm-hmm!”
Zhang Ying nodded, speaking softly, “Brother Zhou, I’ll go back to work then, don’t let anyone see us.”
“Go on, see you tonight.”
Zhou Wenxiang reluctantly withdrew his hand. After Zhang Ying left, he even brought his palm to his nose to sniff, a look of enjoyment on his face.
Returning to the property management department.
Zhou Wenxiang wore a stern face as he made his way to the office of Wei Facai, the customer service department supervisor.
“Manager Zhou, is there some work matter?”
“Why bother to make a trip yourself?”
Upon seeing Zhou Wenxiang enter, the original occupant, Wei Facai, promptly stood up from his office chair.
“Wei, sit down and speak!”
Zhou Wenxiang waved his hand and casually closed the office door.
Seeing this, Wei Facai’s expression grew serious, sensing from Zhou Wenxiang’s demeanour that he was about to discuss something important.
“Manager Zhou, what instructions do you have?” Wei Facai asked.

“Receptionist Zhang has complained to me that you harassed her, and I want to understand your side of the story.”
Zhou Wenxiang spoke sternly, and without waiting for Wei Facai to speak, he reprimanded, “Wei, you’re not young anymore, how could you do something like this?”
“Even if you have such intentions, you can’t just mess around within the company!”
Upon hearing this, Wei Facai was first stunned, then quickly retorted, “Not me! I didn’t do that!”
“How could I possibly harass a young girl? Yesterday, she approached me for help. There were parcels for some guests at the reception desk, and I helped her carry them without saying anything else…”
Wei Facai had not finished speaking when Zhou Wenxiang waved his hand to interrupt him, “The matter has already reached President Liu, and she will talk to you in the next day or two.”
“Our company has zero tolerance for workplace sexual harassment! So, Wei, you’d better prepare to leave.”
“I advise you to take the initiative to resign. That way, I can still say a few good words for you on your resume. If this blows up and everyone in the industry knows, you’re going to have a hard time finding a job!”
Zhou Wenxiang’s advice seemed well-intentioned.
“But the problem is, I didn’t do anything!” Wei Facai said with a face full of grievance.
“What can you do if that young lady insists on her story?”
“Besides, there was indeed contact between you two, the cameras must have caught it, you have no defense against it!”
Zhou Wenxiang shrugged his shoulders.
“This…”
“I’ll go find Zhang Ying.”
“Isn’t this framing me!”
Wei Facai suddenly stood up from his seat, an honest man he may be, but that didn’t mean he lacked temper.
“If you go to her now, you’ll only make the harassment issue a reality!” Zhou Wenxiang shook his head.
Hearing this, Wei Facai stopped in his tracks. Indeed, something that wasn’t a problem could actually become one if he went to find Zhang Ying now.
“I believe President Liu will definitely investigate thoroughly!”
“Something fabricated cannot become fact!”
Wei Facai clenched his teeth; he had a favorable impression of the young and beautiful President Liu, who was “aloof” but very capable in business.
“Fine then, take care of yourself. I’ve said what I needed to say! Anyway, getting involved in this kind of thing always results in a loss, and even if it’s not true, it’s hard to keep one’s reputation intact. So I still advise you to resign voluntarily.”
Zhou Wenxiang gave one more piece of advice and then left the office.
An hour before quitting time, Wei Facai was on pins and needles. Just last month, the shopping mall he worked at closed down, and it had been hard enough to find a similar job, only to now be hit by this sudden disaster.
“Wei, what’s wrong with you? You look so pale!”
When he got home, his wife Yao Jiahui immediately noticed her husband’s unusual demeanor.
“A disaster out of the blue!”
Wei Facai shook his head and recounted what had happened at the office.
“Did you or did you not harass that young lady?” Yao Jiahui pressed urgently.
“After all these years, don’t you know me?”
“Am I that kind of person?” Wei Facai said with a serious face.
Yao Jiahui had been anxious just moments before, but she knew her husband well. Such an act was indeed not something Wei Facai would do.
“So they are deliberately framing you to get you out!”
Yao Jiahui sighed despondently, “Or just quit your job and ask Hao for help.”
“I’ve told you before to let Hao help you find a job. With his current status, it would be a piece of cake!”
Wei Facai shook his head, “I’ve said that I don’t want to trouble Hao. In his line of work, I can’t be of any help; I’d just be a burden.”
“You’re so stubborn! Not knowing how to take advantage of such connections!”
“I don’t care about you anymore. Without a job, just wait and starve!”
Yao Jiahui huffed off to the kitchen.
Midnight.
Yang Hao had just finished a fierce card game with the nanny.
The nanny looked at her boss with resentful eyes, “The numbers are off~”
“Uh, what’s off with the numbers?”
Yang Hao feigned ignorance, having applied double buffs during the day and having gone for two rounds with Yu Jiujiu; it was normal for the numbers to be off. Although he possessed an Indestructible Kidney, his protein production was not yet defying the laws of nature.
“Hmph~”
The nanny huffed softly, “I won’t sleep tonight, I want to punish it!!”
Yang Hao flicked her forehead gently, “Hehe~~”
“I fear you won’t be able to go to work tomorrow!”
The nanny, with her pitiful combat strength, actually dared to challenge him!
This was like a weakling at the third tier of Combat Qi challenging a Combat Emperor…
Ding!
Congratulations to the host for completing the task: Lose weight!
Main mission progress increased by 1%!
Main mission reward: 100% shares of Clyde Hotel!!
As Yang Hao and the nanny were playfully bantering, the voice of the System suddenly resounded…
