Zhou Jicai wore a look of smug satisfaction. As he passed by Shen Mianyin, he couldn't resist giving the back of her chair a couple of taps.
He probably thought that after the meeting, Shen Mianyin would be fired.
Shen Mianyin watched his actions coldly but said nothing.
Zhang Qiyuan, sitting down with a smile, said, "Sorry, something came up at the last minute, so I’m late."
"President, since we’re having a meeting today, I also have something particularly important to address," Zhang Qiyuan said.
Shen Mianyin knew exactly what Zhang Qiyuan was about to say, but to make the situation more convincing, she decided to play along and said, "Let’s allow the president to finish first. The president’s matter is very important too."
Zhou Jicai let out a mocking laugh and said, "My matter is even more important. Someone here is no longer suitable to participate in key decision-making meetings at the executive level. Once I’m done, that person can leave the conference room, and then we can hear the president’s matter."
"Oh?" Lin Jinshen feigned ignorance and said, "There aren’t many people here. I wonder who President Zhou is referring to?"
"It’s Shen Mianyin!" Zhou Jicai declared confidently and loudly.
He pulled out his phone, opened a video he had prepared in advance from the internet, and played it for everyone. "Shen Mianyin uses underhanded methods to negotiate business deals. To close a deal, she even stoops to seduction and might have even engaged in inappropriate relationships with clients."
"This video has already gone viral online," Zhou Jicai said. "It’s had a major negative impact on our company and has seriously damaged its reputation."
"President, the company must take action, especially in deciding on a punishment for Shen Mianyin, to restore the company's damaged reputation," Zhou Jicai said.
Zhang Qiyuan spoke slowly, "Furthermore, just yesterday, Shen Mianyin tried to pull the same trick on General Manager Chen of Zhilan."
"Last night, both of us were there. Right in front of us, Shen Mianyin dared to act this way. Who knows how many disgraceful things she’s done when meeting clients on her own!" Zhang Qiyuan said indignantly, his face filled with anger. "She’s completely tarnished the company’s image!"
"Shen Mianyin, after doing something like this, do you still have any shame?" Zhang Qiyuan pointed at Shen Mianyin’s face and shouted.
Zhou Jicai sighed and, pretending to be sincere, said in a heavy tone, "Shen Mianyin, I understand that after leaving the Su family, you’re under a lot of pressure. Without the Su family’s support, you’re out of money and need to make a living. Suddenly having to rely on yourself must have been a huge adjustment, and I get that you’re desperate to earn money. But you can’t resort to methods like this!"
"Acting so shamelessly, you’re not only letting yourself down but also the company and the president, who trusted you!" Zhou Jicai shouted, as though he wished he could throw open the conference room doors for the entire company to hear.
Sitting next to Lin Jinshen and taking meeting notes, Xu Huaixiang shot Shen Mianyin a look of contempt.
No wonder her business deals always went so well—turns out she "negotiated" them with her body.
Who knows if she negotiated the same way with Gu Huaizhi?
Would someone as discerning as Gu Huaizhi really agree to it?
Doesn’t he find it disgusting?
Zhang Qiyuan turned to Lin Jinshen and said, "President, I propose we directly terminate Shen Mianyin. This would demonstrate that our company conducts business through proper channels and fair competition. We should maintain a zero-tolerance policy for behavior like hers."
"Exactly, President," Zhou Jicai immediately chimed in. "Only by doing so can we restore the company’s reputation. Thanks to Shen Mianyin’s antics, not only has our company’s name been dragged through the mud, but even our clients who work with us have been unjustly implicated."
"Now, people are suspecting whether there's some unsavory deal between her and Shen Mianyin, whether they've slept together, and that's why the business was given to our company," Zhou Jicai glared at Shen Mianyin, his voice full of disdain. "Her actions have caused too much damage!"
"Exactly, Shen Mianyin must be fired today!" Zhang Qiyuan said forcefully. "I’m already overwhelmed, having to apologize and explain to each company one by one."
"Our company not only needs to fire Shen Mianyin, but we also have to publicly announce her punishment to the media," Zhou Jicai added, wanting to make sure Shen Mianyin’s career was completely ruined, leaving no company willing to hire her.
"Are you two finished?" Shen Mianyin spoke slowly.
"Who gave you the right to speak here?!" Zhang Qiyuan scolded angrily.
"How dare you speak?" Zhou Jicai pointed at himself and said, "If I were you, I would have been too embarrassed to stay in this meeting room and would have left, too ashamed to face anyone!"
"I've never seen someone with such thick skin," Zhang Qiyuan sneered.
"Would you all like to turn your phones on or perhaps take a quick look online right now?" Shen Mianyin said coldly.
"What do you mean by that? We’re in a meeting!" Zhang Qiyuan shouted. "Have you given up on yourself?"
Shen Mianyin scoffed and casually took out her phone, opening Weibo.
This morning, Reporter Tang had sent her a WeChat message. Their company was a year-long subscriber to major short video apps and Weibo.
They had pushed the full surveillance video of Shen Mianyin across various platforms, bought trending spots, and elevated it to the top.
Anyone could see it by simply opening any app.
This was also the reason Shen Mianyin chose to work with Reporter Tang.
The company Reporter Tang worked for had considerable strength.
The fifth and sixth spots on Weibo’s trending list were unmistakably Shen Mianyin’s.
5. #ShenMianyinReversesTheSituation
6. #ShenMianyinSaysNoToWorkplaceHarassment
Shen Mianyin first opened the fifth trending topic.
The video in the trending list was the full surveillance footage of her being harassed by the overweight man at Yunjing Restaurant.
In the very next second after the man grabbed her, she immediately fought back, even fiercely using her high heel to strike him.
[The previous edited video was truly despicable.]
[Wow! Sister Shen is truly badass!]
The sixth trending topic, when clicked on, revealed an audio recording.
It was unmistakably the recording of General Manager Fang from last night, forcing Shen Mianyin and attempting to take advantage of her.
Shen Mianyin’s firm refusal to General Manager Fang’s harassment was clearly heard in the recording.
[Sister Shen, you’re my sister! You are the queen among women, the alpha among females, the ruler of women!]
[Saying no to workplace harassment!]
[So disgusting! This General Manager Fang probably doesn’t even know how many people he’s harmed.]
Zhou Jicai and Zhang Qiyuan were both stunned.
What happened in just one night?
How did everything change by this morning?
When did these trending topics go up?
So fast?
Zhou Jicai instinctively reached for Shen Mianyin’s phone to examine it closely.
Shen Mianyin quickly snatched her phone back. "If President Zhou wants to see, use your own phone," she said coldly.
"Last night, President Zhou watched as General Manager Fang harassed me. Not only did you not stop him, but you even wanted me to give in, and you even tried to record it with your phone," Shen Mianyin continued with a cold tone. "I can't trust you with my phone—what if you try something again?"
"There is indeed someone who needs to leave the company today," Lin Jinshen said, "but it certainly isn't Shen Mianyin."
