Chapter 1242: 858 Second update!

We are now in a society governed by the rule of law.

Impulsive actions cannot solve problems.

Moreover, back in high school, Xie Wendong was not the kind of troublemaker like Chi Jin, he was an absolutely rule-abiding and disciplined good student. Thus, even though he felt quite indignant for his old classmate, he still held back and sat down with Ouyang Qing on the long bench in the corridor.

"Jiang Chen, take a seat and rest for a while."

It was Ouyang Qing who spoke up.

She informed Xie Wendong to get in touch with Jiang Chen, and the reason goes without saying.

There’s nothing to be ashamed of.

Shouldn’t classmates help each other out?

Of course.

Whether or not others are willing to help is their own business.

To offer help is a kindness; to refrain is a duty.

The reality is stark.

Seeing her old classmate appear so quickly at the hospital provided her with a trace of comfort for her outraged and chilled heart.

"Take my seat."

Xie Wendong stood up, offering his seat.

Jiang Chen placed his hand on his shoulder, "It’s fine, I’ll stand for a bit."

Xie Wendong, forced to sit back down, looked up in surprise, "Jiang Chen, you’ve got quite a grip."

In the corridor, it’s not possible to overhear what’s being discussed in the ward, but at least it could be felt that the communication inside must be relatively peaceful.

"Has the police contacted Wu Yufei again?"

Xie Wendong turned his head to ask.

Ouyang Qing shook her head, "They came to take Yufei’s statement this morning and there has been no follow-up."

"Do you know exactly what happened, old disciplinary committee member?"

Jiang Chen looked at her.

The narrative from Xie Wendong before was just a general account.

Ouyang Qing pursed her lips, seemingly having difficulties she couldn’t articulate.

Seeing this, Xie Wendong inevitably grew anxious, "Old disciplinary committee member, if you know something, tell Jiang Chen. Otherwise, how is he supposed to help?"

Ouyang Qing’s eyes showed struggle, and then she said tensely: "You all must absolutely not let this get out."

"Don’t worry!"

Xie Wendong immediately assured her, "I won’t utter a word of it to anyone."

Jiang Chen also nodded.

Only then did Ouyang Qing, with a look of loathing, grit her teeth and begin, "...Last night Yufei was called out on short notice to accompany several leaders of a certain hospital. They are all old men in their fifties or sixties, older than Yufei’s father, but these old bastards have no respect for their age. Using their positions, they made demands of Yufei..."

Ouyang Qing paused.

Xie Wendong and Jiang Chen did not press on.

None of them are naive kids from the ivory tower; it wasn’t hard to guess what Ouyang Qing had left unsaid.

There are two things in the world one must not look at directly.

One is the sun.

The other is the human heart.

Unwritten rules in the workplace are everywhere.

The sales industry is especially notorious.

Ouyang Qing took a moment to control her emotions, took a few breaths, and continued, "Actually, this isn’t the first time Yufei has encountered something like this. For equipment worth millions, those scumbags think their demands are entirely justified. But Yufei isn’t the kind of girl they imagine. She has always stood her ground and refused, but her company’s leaders are utterly shameless. They not only refuse to help, but they even force Yufei on behalf of those men."

"Just imagine, in that situation, with the company leaders looking on indifferently or even egging it on, how could she, just one girl, possibly escape? Other than jumping from a building to save herself, what else could she do?"

Hearing Ouyang Qing’s words, even Xie Wendong could feel the despair of the female classmate in the ward at that time.

"If she knew the company’s leaders were no good, why didn’t she resign?"

"Is it easy to find a job these days?"

With one sentence, Ouyang Qing left Xie Wendong with no retort.

Indeed.

The current job pressure, as he knows all too well being a recent graduate himself, is immense.

Just look at how many graduates from prestigious universities, even PhD holders, have started delivering takeout.

If it weren’t for the harsh realities of life, why would those old classmates at yesterday’s reunion act so obsequiously towards Chi Jin from the start?

Who is born to be humble and willing to grovel?

It’s all due to the pressures of life.

Gao Jianqiang, who entered the Tobacco Bureau, is an example.

Perhaps a word from Chi Jin could save them years, even decades of detours.

"Moreover, when Yu Fei reported the situation to the company leaders, the responses she received were all meant to placate her. She probably never expected that her company would be in cahoots with those people."

"Signing a hospital, how much revenue can her company make? Compared to that, what does she count for as an ordinary employee?"

Xie Wendong has also seen similar news, some companies treat their employees as tools, even as chips, for the so-called collective interest.

Seeing it on the news is one thing, but experiencing it firsthand is another.

"Wu Yufei is still too naive. Maybe her company had already colluded with the others, pushing her out as a present."

"But they probably didn’t expect Yu Fei to be so resolute," Ouyang Qing chimed in.

Indeed.

Wu Yufei is just a microcosm of society; what happened last night has surely happened to more than just her.

But not every woman has the courage to "jump off a building."

The majority, when driven into a corner, is likely to choose to submit.

"Her manager is definitely here to smooth things over, surely to keep Wu Yufei from pursuing the matter further."

Xie Wendong concluded, and just as he finished speaking, the hospital ward door opened.

The manager, looking very presentable, walked out with composure.

What is the definition of hypocrisy.

What is the definition of a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Of course.

Perhaps from his standpoint, such events are justified and accepted industry practice; on the contrary, it might be Wu Yufei who is seen as an unwelcome oddity for her lack of awareness of the bigger picture.

"Seeing that Yu Fei is alright, I can rest assured."

He even managed a genuine-looking slight smile.

Xie Wendong and Ouyang Qing immediately stood up.

"You can go in now."

He stepped aside to clear the way.

Wu Yufei’s classmates, who are just fresh graduates, indeed do not merit his serious attention.

"Oh, right, about the issue of Yu Fei’s medical expenses, you don’t need to worry. We have a partnership with Tongji Hospital. I will communicate with the hospital to ensure the best medicines and treatment are provided, and our company will cover all the costs."

This could be considered compensation.

Or is it.

Charity?

Ouyang Qing really wanted to curse him out but forcefully suppressed the urge.

It’s not because of her moral standards.

After all, it’s not her own affair.

She couldn’t overstep her bounds and forcefully make decisions for Wu Yufei.

Without a word from Ouyang Qing, Xie Wendong was even less in a position to say anything.

The manager, as if nothing had happened, with a polite smile, was about to leave.

However.

A voice rang out.

"Give me a business card."

The Manager Li, who is definitely successful in his career, paused for a moment, turning to look at the calm young man watching him.

He gave a small smile.

Having just entered society, having emotions is understandable.

He had also been through this age.

In a few more years, after becoming accustomed to the ways of the world, he wouldn’t be so narrow-minded.

True to form, he took a business card from his suit pocket and handed it to Jiang Chen, who had just finished dining with the head of the foreign department.

"After stepping out of the ivory tower, stumbling and getting injured is inevitable; don’t take it too much to heart. What’s important is whether you can learn something from it."

Speaking as someone who had been there, he offered his earnest advice, then brushed past the few young people and left.
