The President's Tender Trap

As Lin Xiaoyu learned more about Chen Xincheng's behavior, she felt increasing pressure. She knew verbal protests alone weren't enough; she needed concrete evidence to expose her boss's misconduct. With Su Wan's encouragement, Lin Xiaoyu and she developed a detailed plan and began gathering evidence.

"We can start by recording the conversation." Su Wan said seriously, "Every time you communicate with Chen Xincheng, try to record the conversation with your mobile phone, especially those words that make you feel uncomfortable." There was determination in her voice, as if to inject courage into Lin Xiaoyu.

"But...what if he finds out?" Lin Xiaoyu's voice trembled slightly, and she felt uneasy. She knew Chen Xincheng was very sensitive, and if he found out, the consequences would be disastrous.

"We'll be careful," Su Wan consoled him. "As long as we proceed with caution, we can turn this situation to our advantage. Furthermore, we can gather more evidence through emails and work records." A glint of determination flashed in Su Wan's eyes at this thought. "I'll be with you. I won't let you face this alone."

Lin Xiaoyu took a deep breath and felt a surge of courage. She knew she no longer felt alone, knowing she had Su Wan as her supporter. So, she nodded and decided to bravely face the next challenge.

The two began their intense and meticulous preparations. Lin Xiaoyu remained vigilant, diligently documenting every word that made her uncomfortable, both in meetings and during private conversations with Chen Xincheng. Meanwhile, Su Wan organized the collected evidence, ensuring every piece of information was presented clearly.

"Xiaoyu, how's your work going lately?" Chen Xincheng suddenly asked during a morning meeting, a hint of impatience in his tone. Lin Xiaoyu's heart tightened, but she tried to remain calm and smiled slightly. "I'm sorting out the feedback from the last meeting and expect to finish it soon."

"I hope you can be more serious and stop procrastinating," Chen Xincheng responded coldly, leaving Lin Xiaoyu feeling a wave of fear and unease. She secretly recorded these words on her phone, feeling a surge of dread and unease.

Over the next few days, Lin Xiaoyu's condition gradually grew tense. Whenever she interacted with Chen Xincheng, her heart would race and her palms would sweat. Although she tried to remain calm, her inner anxiety was still there, especially when recording their conversations, as she worried about being noticed.

"Xiaoyu, relax," Su Wan encouraged her again and again, trying to relieve her stress. "You've done great. Keep it up. We're almost there." Her care and support gradually helped Lin Xiaoyu relax, though she still felt a little uneasy.

However, as time went on, Lin Xiaoyu's stress didn't ease. She began to have frequent dreams of Chen Xincheng's stern face, and upon waking, she felt helpless and terrified. This made it increasingly difficult for her to concentrate at work and even affected her health.

"I really can't bear it anymore." One night, Lin Xiaoyu finally couldn't help but confide in Su Wan, tears welling in her eyes. She was leaning against the table in the corner of the office, her face exhausted. "I'm scared. I'm scared that he'll find out we're collecting evidence. I'm scared that he'll retaliate against me."

Su Wan gently held Lin Xiaoyu's hand, bringing her a touch of warmth. "Xiaoyu, remember, you're not fighting alone. We have other colleagues who may have had similar experiences. Together, we can fight Chen Xincheng's actions," she said firmly, a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

Lin Xiaoyu felt a little more at peace with Su Wan's support. She realized that her struggle was not isolated and that other colleagues might be suffering from the same problem.

Lin Xiaoyu decided to proactively seek support from her colleagues. She began talking to some familiar colleagues, sharing her own experiences and asking if they had experienced similar situations. To her surprise, many colleagues shared that they, too, had experienced unfair treatment under Chen Xincheng's management.

"I've heard similar things from him before, and it's very uncomfortable," said a colleague, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction and anger. "It feels like he's always trying to suppress us and make us feel worthless."

Lin Xiaoyu felt relieved, realizing she wasn't the only one enduring this kind of workplace oppression. She and Su Wan began organizing small discussions, allowing more colleagues to share their stories, and gradually formed a network of solidarity.

"We must speak up for ourselves instead of continuing to endure this injustice," Lin Xiaoyu said firmly at a meeting, with a glint of strength in her eyes.

With this sense of unity, Lin Xiaoyu and her colleagues decided to work together to gather evidence, preparing to report Chen Xincheng's misconduct to company executives at the appropriate time. Everyone began working together, sharing their experiences and collected evidence, striving to ensure that every piece of information was recorded.

"We can go to HR together and see if we can get their attention," Su Wan suggested, her eyes gleaming with determination. "As long as we stand together, we'll definitely make them hear our voices."

Lin Xiaoyu felt an unprecedented surge of strength, her hope for the future rekindled. She knew she wasn't alone; she was surrounded by colleagues willing to stand shoulder to shoulder. This sense of solidarity warmed her heart and gave her more courage to face the challenges ahead.

In the days that followed, Lin Xiaoyu and her colleagues continued to collect evidence, gradually building a network of evidence about Chen Xincheng's misconduct. Their efforts paid off, as more and more colleagues joined the group, working together towards the same goal.

Finally, at a meeting, Lin Xiaoyu, armed with the evidence she had gathered, mustered the courage to raise the issue with the company's top management. Her voice was firm and powerful, and she fearlessly recounted her own and her colleagues' experiences, exposing Chen Xincheng's various misconducts.

"We hope to be treated fairly and no longer tolerate these unreasonable behaviors." Lin Xiaoyu's voice echoed in the conference room with strong determination and desire.

At this moment, she felt a long-lost strength and courage. She knew that her and her colleagues' efforts would soon be rewarded, and the power of unity would pave a bright future for them.

Ultimately, the efforts of Lin Xiaoyu and her colleagues paid off: the company decided to investigate Chen Xincheng and, to a certain extent, punished him. This outcome was not only fair to Lin Xiaoyu personally, but also a strong support for all women who face unfair treatment in the workplace.

"Thank you, Su Wan," Lin Xiaoyu said at the celebration party, her eyes gleaming with gratitude. "Without you, I might not be where I am today."

"We're friends, and supporting each other is our duty," Su Wan replied with a smile, her heart filled with warmth and satisfaction. She knew that Lin Xiaoyu had not only regained her confidence, but had also helped more women speak out and fight for their rights in the workplace.

Through this struggle, Lin Xiaoyu not only grew into a brave woman but also understood the importance of solidarity and support. Their story spread both inside and outside the company, inspiring more people to speak out and fight against workplace injustice.

Throughout this journey, Lin Xiaoyu and Su Wan's friendship deepens. They realize that they are not only each other's supporters, but also comrades in the same struggle. Their future careers may still be full of challenges, but they will always work together to bravely face them all.
