Source Of Calamity - Ch 31
Not many people know about the fact that Shen Zhen was promoted to be the CEO’s secretary. No one in his previous work group knew about it. The above kept their lips shut tight about it, and only said that Shen Zhen was transferred away. He had not stayed here long, so the people in the information department didn’t know him at all.
At this time, Shen Zhen and Meng Hui were standing face to face. The people in the information department did not dare to whisper during working hours, but they were able to chat in small chat groups.
“Seeing Meng Hui’s big head deflated makes me feel so good!”
“Justice from the heavens!”
“Don’t you guys think that little brother is very handsome?! He’s also the secretary of the CEO. I wonder how much his annual salary is.”
“Hahahaha, you want to have a ‘thing’ with him right, go ahead, I support you.”
“Forget it, I’m timid, I only dare to just fantasize.”
“Will Meng Hui really be fired? Isn’t his older brother quite influential?”
“As long as someone is willing to stand forward and say that they had indeed been sexually harassed, or someone testifies, then it’s possible. Although he cannot be sued in court, it will still be considered retribution when he is fired.”
“I’m just afraid no one will dare to stand forward.”
“That’s right, Meng Hui is even more pretty and narrow minded than the tip of a needle. What if he retaliates?”
“He’s really quite mental.”
“But if you don’t stand up now, do you intend to wait for him to continue to stay in the company and harass you?”
“Besides, if more people stand up, would he go to the trouble of taking revenge one by one?”
“Ai, if only he could be sent to prison.”
“It’s unlikely. Even if you sue for sexual harassment in the workplace and there are also videos, as long as there is no real violation, the most he could be punished is tp lose some money and recieve a verbal education.”
Meng Hui was still talking hard, he didn’t look at Shen Zhen’s eyes: “What right do you have to accuse me of sexual harassment? They’re all slanderers, they’re all unwilling to see me do well, they talk nonsense with a flap of their mouths. Don’t you have a brain, why do you believe just anything that others say?”
Shen Zhen sat on the chair on the side, the seat just happening to be empty. He said calmly, “It’s useless for you to say this to me. Aren’t you from the supervisory department? Let the people from the supervisory department check it out.”
Meng Hui: “In order to flatter you, those people are sure yo agree with what you say.”
Shen Zhen smiled, and even when he spoke, there was a smile in his tone: “Then what do you want to do?”
Meng Hui took a look at Shen Zhen. From his own point of view, he felt that a person like Shen Zhen who had just established a relationship with the higher-ups would not dare to do too much. Otherwise, if the higher-ups got angry, wouldn’t he be beaten back to his original form?
Who knew how Chen Ling knew Shen Zhen, Meng Hui snorted coldly.
Meng Hui was also biting the bullet and confronting Shen Zhen now. He knew that the situation would get worse if he was cowed now.
Not being cowed, there might be a chance.
Meng Hui said: “Let the people in our department investigate, but I will designate who will investigate.”
“Pfft.” Shen Zhen didn’t hold back, and really laughed out loud.
Shen Zhen waved his hand: “Sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean to.”
Meng Hui was about to speak, but Shen Zhen suddenly said seriously: “I’m here to inform you, not to discuss with you. The company’s surname is Qin, not Meng, understand?”
Meng Hui sneered: “At the end of the day, you’re just borrowing other people’s might to bully others, thinking that being an assistant to the CEO makes you a big deal, you’re jist a villain gloating in glee.”
Shen Zhen: “You are right.”
Meng Hui: “…..”
Shen Zhen didn’t have much expression, brushed his hand over his tie, and said in a nonchalant tone, “I’m just bullying you, so what?”
Meng Hui gritted his teeth: “Everyone has heard it, do you think the higher ups would let you domineer and oppress the lower level staff?”
Shen Zhen looked at him in surprise: “Not bad, you even still want to provoke a conflict at this time.”
“But I have to remind you one thing, Meng Hui.”
“When I speak, you just listen, and when I make a decision, you just do it.”
Shen Zhen stood up, not wanting to waste anymore time with this person: “Because what I say and what I decide is what I will implement.”
Meng Hui: “The surname of this company is not Shen either!”
Shen Zhen looked at him with a half-smile: “Yes, you are right.”
Shen Zhen: “So I just let them investigate instead of letting them kick you out right now.”
Shen Zhen, who didn’t want to waste any more time, turned and left. The employees who were eavesdropping on the side quickly sat up straight, pretending that they were working hard just now and didn’t hear anything.
However, many people had cheerful expressions on their faces.
Seeing that Meng Hui was unlucky, they were really in a good mood.
When he heard Shen Zhen’s last sentence, Meng Hui heaved a sigh of relief. Even if he and his brother had to be suspended, the people from the supervisory department knew the two brothers very well, and they would usually make appointments to play cards and have dinner together in private. When the time came, they would just say that there was no problem, and he wouldn’t be fired.
“That’s good.” Meng Hui looked at the back of Shen Zhen leaving, and shouted from behind, “Let them investigate, I want to see what they can find out.”
After saying this, Meng Hui turned around, like a general who had won a battle, and walked out with his head held high.
When he got to the door, he turned his head to look at Shen Zhen and snorted.
That’s right, so what if he’s the CEO’s secretary? He also had no real power in his hands, so he couldn’t just fire someone if he wanted, and he had to go the formal way.
The first thing Meng Hui did after he left was to call his older brother Meng He.
Meng He was different from his younger brother. Before his younger brother came, he had an image of a good guy in both the department and the company.
Even after his younger brother came, even if he helped his younger brother cover up many things, others would only sympathize with him and feel sorry for him to have such a younger brother who not only couldn’t help him with anything, but always found trouble for his brother.
“Elder Brother.” Meng Hui’s first words were, “They said that we would be suspended for investigation first, but it is also an investigation by our department. It must be fine. Elder Brother, I am downstairs in the company. Come down, we can go home together, do you want to eat something first?”
Unexpectedly, Meng He didn’t comfort him like before, but instead scolded him angrily in a reprimanding tone: “You think your Elder Brother is the local tyrant? Would others still listen to me after I leave? If they don’t throw stones then it’s already not bad, and you still think someone will help cover it up? Don’t cover yourself with a quilt when you sleep at night, and see if you can dream about it with your butt perked!”
Meng Hui: “…..Elder Brother?”
Meng He: “I told you before, that you should restrain yourself and put more energy on your work. Now that you lost your job, you also want me to go home with you and drink the northwest wind?”
“I supported you through college, and that’s how you repay me?” Meng He had already mentally collapsed. He was the department manager, and he knew how serious this matter was. When the news from the information department came, everyone in the department knew that Meng Hui had caused trouble again.
Looking at the contemptuous expressions of his colleagues at that time, Meng He realized belatedly that before he was even aware of it, Meng Hui had already offended everyone who could be offended. It would be a strange thing if these people would help them when they were in trouble.
Meng He: “Meng Hui, what exactly do you want? Do you know how many people have sharpened their heads and wanted to enter the Qin Group? Do you know how much effort I have put in to get you into the Qin Group? What do I tell others about you? And how do you act? Sexual harassment, if you are really that thirsty then go find a prostitute! What are you doing harassing the people in the company for?”
Meng Hui was not one who wouldn’t talk back after being reprimanded. At this time, he was scolded by his usually doting brother, and he couldn’t hold back: “In the end you are blaming me after all, you blame me for getting you into trouble, don’t you?”
“If you are capable, would you be suspended and pending for an investigation?” Meng Hui said, “Don’t throw the problem on me, can’t you reflect on yourself? If you are good enough, if you could be the CEO’s secretary, would we be suspended and waiting to be investigated?”
Meng Hui spat: “Don’t f**king say it like it’s just my own fault, you’ve been working here for so long, I just touched the hands and buttocks of those b*tches a few times, and all of them act like I killed their mother. If you are that capable, would they be like this? Wouldn’t they just throw themselves over voluntarily?”
Meng He: “Are you blaming me now? I found you a job, and I did the work of two people by myself, so that you could have it easier at work. Yet you’re blaming me now?”
Meng Hui snorted: “You’re a failure yourself, and now you still want to blame me. I’ll tell Mom when I get back.”
Meng He’s tone cooled down, and he was no longer angry: “I owe you, you go back, I won’t go back, the house is for you to live in, just treat it as my filial piety for Mother. You tell her, anyway, she only thinks of you as her son, so I who was picked up from the trash will find a way out for myself, and I won’t hold you back.”
Only now did Meng Hui start to get scared: “Elder Brother, what are you talking about? Elder Brother? Elder Brother!”
However, Meng He had already hung up the phone.
Meng He held the phone in his hand, took a deep breath, and walked out of the office. The moment he walked out, all the staff in the department looked up at him. Their eyes were no longer as friendly as usual, but as if they were looking at a complete stranger.
Because Meng He concealed it well, and Meng Hui always behaved like a well-behaved younger brother in the department, no one knew that Meng Hui was this kind of person.
Blackmailing and sexually harassing female employees in the company this whole time. If not for hitting a hard rock this time what would he do next?
Did these brothers plan to be local tyrants in the department?
Meng He couldn’t accept these contemptuous gazes, he almost wanted to run away with his head in his arms. Meng He felt that he had never been in such pain.
The gazes thrown by his colleagues were like sharp knives. Meng He packed his things with his head down. When he left, it was in hurried steps and a depressed expression. No one came forward to comfort him, and no one sent him any message. He felt isolated from the whole world.
That was his only younger brother, who had been spoiled since he was a child. As the older brother, what could he do?
Although it was said to be a suspension for investigation, Meng He knew that if everything his brother did was found out, it would be impossible for them to return to the Qin Group.
Meng He left the company, the sun was shining today, and the moment he looked up, his eyes seemed to be burned by the sunfire.
Today was like a nightmare, Meng He covered his face.
Qin Shan got the news late, and showed up fashionably late. She put her hand on Shen Zhen’s shoulder, panting, and said with difficulty: “You, don’t you know, to wait for me, I missed it again, the show.”
Shen Zhen: “…..”
This person was not here to help solve things, her goal was to watch the excitement.
After all, Qin Shan was not an ordinary employee. She knew Shen Zhen’s special status in front of Qin Xing.
She was extremely regretful: “I haven’t seen sexual harassment in the workplace before. It’s a pity. Next time there is such a thing, please tell me in advance.”
Shen Zhen: “…..Ok.”
