Reborn and fleeing for his life, he unexpectedly knocks on the door of the prince of Beijing's

Inside the private room, Lu Jie and Ba Wen were discussing matters related to Yuming Manor.

Upon seeing Wen Shengsheng return, Ba Wen paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Why was your face red when you went out, and even redder when you came back? Is your little boyfriend too clingy?"

Lu Jie's lips were slightly downturned, forming a straight line, as if silently expressing his unhappiness.

However, his slightly forward-leaning posture revealed his strong desire to find out more.

Lu Jie's gaze was too blatant, and Wen Shengsheng felt embarrassed. She gave a stiff laugh but didn't say anything.

Xi Yu returned shortly afterward.

The two were in a hurry to get back to the company, so they didn't linger. They got into the car around 1 p.m. and arrived at Qingshan Capital around 2 p.m.

Wen Shengsheng told Ba Wen that she was going to the 28th floor.

Bavin roughly guessed what it was about, and without objection, he went to attend the investment bank's internal project review meeting.

When Wen Shengsheng arrived on the 28th floor, she found the conference room quite lively. Just then, Chen Ze came out and led her inside.

Upon seeing the scene in the conference room, Wen Shengsheng was momentarily stunned.

At this moment, the entire conference room was filled with people, and it was somewhat noisy, with cries and panicked shouts intertwined.

Gong Xiaochen, Chen Ze, and Minister Li from the Public Relations Department...

Ding Sicheng and two others, Liang Fei...

Several young female employees...

There were also security guards and police...

Chen Ze led a bewildered Wen Shengsheng to a policewoman and said, "This is the last victim; the evidence is in her hands."

The capable, cold-eyed policewoman glanced at Wen Shengsheng, then turned to Gong Xiaochen and said, "Now that everyone is here, let's all go to the police station."

Gong Xiaochen nodded.

Just before the end of the workday in the afternoon, the sex scandal centered around Qingshan Capital suddenly took a major turn.

Qingshan Capital's public relations department released a notice stating that three people, led by Ding Sicheng, were arrested by the public security authorities on suspicion of indecent assault and insult.

The company also provided a "termination notice" issued to Ding Sicheng and the other two employees half a month ago, and the notice clearly stated the list of female employees who had been sexually harassed by Ding Sicheng and the other two employees.

Of course, to protect the female employees' privacy, only their surnames were retained.

This announcement was made.

It immediately became a trending topic in the financial sector.

The news from this morning was instantly buried.

In a single day, Qingshan Capital's sex scandal turned into a sex harassment incident.

The public's voice has shifted from criticizing the sex scandal to resolutely resisting workplace sexual harassment and encouraging victims to speak out.

Many netizens began to criticize Ding Sicheng, while turning their attention to the female protagonist of the sex scandal that morning.

The workplace is tough, and it's especially difficult for new female employees to survive.

Various women's rights advocacy voices have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, dominating major websites.

When Wen Shengsheng and Pang Hui walked out of the police station, looking at the clouds in the sky, they felt as if it were all a dream.

Pang Hui exclaimed, "Young Master Gong is truly skilled. He not only dealt with Ding Sicheng and the other two quickly, but also preserved the company's image."

Then he looked at Wen Shengsheng and said, "It's also because you reacted quickly and knew to contact Chen Ze and leave evidence that you were able to turn the tide of the whole incident in time. Otherwise, these scoundrels would still have committed evil deeds elsewhere."

Wen Shengsheng's brows, which had been furrowed all day, finally relaxed. Her starry eyes, which had been filled with seriousness and fatigue, seemed to be lit up in an instant, regaining their former brilliance.

"I also have to thank you. You took good care of me at the dinner table and even recorded a video for me afterwards."

Pang Hui laughed heartily and scratched his head. "You're too kind. I'm a colleague who fights alongside me. Of course I wouldn't stand by and watch you get bullied."

Drip!

Wen Shengsheng received a notification on WeChat and opened her phone.

Gong Xiaochen: "So happy? Shall we invite you into the car for a good chat?"

Wen Shengsheng quickly looked around and then spotted Gong Xiaochen's black car on the roadside in the distance.

She turned to Pang Hui and said, "I'm leaving now. See you at the company tomorrow."

"Okay." Pang Hui waved to her, then seemed to remember something and called her again.

"Sheng Sheng, were you the one who notified Young Master Gong to come that day?"

Wen Shengsheng shook her head, not wanting Pang Hui to overthink it, and explained, "I only contacted Assistant Chen."

Upon hearing this, Pang Hui suddenly laughed, "That makes sense. Back in Haicheng, I sensed it. Although Young Master Gong and Liang Fei seemed to get along well on the surface, he was always glancing at you intentionally or unintentionally, with a very focused look in his eyes."

"His timely appearance that day, and his special effort to get Ding Sicheng drunk, must have been to avenge you!"

"Sheng Sheng, outsiders see things more clearly. Young Master Gong likes you, you should seize the opportunity."

After speaking, Pang Hui waved and left.

Wen Shengsheng stood still, as if time had stood still.

Until the black Phantom drove right up to her and honked its horn a few times.

She finally came to her senses, opened the door, and got into the car.

Gong Xiaochen narrowed his sharp eyes and swept them over, his gaze carrying a hint of coldness.

"How about I drive you to catch up with them, so you won't be so reluctant to leave?"

Pretending not to understand his sarcasm, Wen Shengsheng lowered her head and fastened her seatbelt.

A moment of silence fell over the carriage. The cool scent of cedarwood enveloped Wen Shengsheng, and she suddenly tensed up, somewhat afraid to look at Gong Xiaochen.

Finally, Gong Xiaochen spoke first, "How's the Yuming Manor project going? Did Lu Jie treat you to lunch?"

"Well, it went fairly smoothly. My mentor went to the project review meeting this afternoon, and I haven't had a chance to ask him yet." Wen Shengsheng said as she took out her phone to send a message to Ba Wen.

At the same time, Xi Yu called, and Wen Shengsheng just happened to press the answer button.

"What's going on with the news this morning?" Xi Yu, who was usually calm and composed, sounded unusually anxious at this moment.

Thinking that he probably already knew, Wen Shengsheng stopped hiding it and told the truth: "There was a little incident when I was having dinner with my colleagues, but it's nothing serious and has been dealt with."

"Wen Shengsheng, you're really getting more and more capable! You actually dared to keep something like this from me!"

“This is an internal matter of our company, and we shouldn’t have told you about it in the first place.” Wen Shengsheng glanced at Gong Xiaochen’s face and said, “Besides, it has all been resolved now. It won’t affect me or the reputation of your Xi family, so don’t worry.”

Xi Yu on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then his tone suddenly turned cold and hard, "You resign right now, stop working, and go back to Jiuru Mansion."

"What did you say?" Wen Shengsheng thought she had misheard.

“I told him to quit my job at Qingshan Capital immediately and go home.”

Wen Shengsheng tightened her grip on her phone. "No, I won't resign!"

"Then you'd better move back to the Xi residence and you're not allowed to go out to work anymore!" Xi Yu gave the order, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.
