Chapter 116: Chapter 115 Elite Lawyer Chapter 116: Chapter 115 Elite Lawyer Changyun Media. Manager’s office of the Live Broadcast Operations Department. Zhao Baorong’s face was livid as he forcefully smacked the desk. Looking at the five employees before him, he raised his voice and said, “What is this supposed to mean? Are you planning to leave with Liu Renjie? Or are you trying to force the company to compromise with you? Is this fun for you?” The group exchanged glances, none showing any sign of backing down. Since they had already secured jobs elsewhere, they were no longer interested in playing nice at the company. Wang Qingya spoke up directly, “The company reneged on the bonus they promised us; I can’t stay here another day.” “At the annual meeting, you personally guaranteed we would get it. Why else would we have worked overtime so hard?” “Exactly, no time off in lieu, no overtime pay, busting our humps for nothing in the end.” “Just hurry up and process our departures; we can’t wait any longer.” ... The office instantly became filled with noise. Zhao Baorong, seeing his employees stand their ground, suddenly felt a bit of panic. This was the entire team from the women’s clothing category—it was one thing for just Liu Renjie to leave and replace him with another operator. But if everyone left, the women’s clothing live broadcast channel would be affected, and he would have no way to explain it to the higher-ups. He tried to display a friendly smile and spoke softly, “It’s not that the company isn’t going to give us bonuses, it’s just that we have to wait for the year-end overall assessment...” His words were cut short as the outspoken Hou Yan blurted out, “Don’t lump us together with ‘us.’ Don’t think we don’t know, your own bonus hasn’t been touched at all.” “Year-end assessment? Don’t treat us like fools, okay?” ... The noise from the office was getting pretty loud, and through the semi-transparent glass walls, numerous colleagues had already gathered around. Zhao Baorong took a deep breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Looking at his defiant subordinates, he said in a firm tone, “Alright, then I’ll go talk to President Ma. You all wait here for me.” With that, he promptly headed outside. The current situation was beyond his control. He Liting, watching President Zhao once so composed now panic-stricken, felt a surge of satisfaction. Zhao Baorong often took advantage of his leadership position to make lewd comments and harass the good-looking female colleagues. She herself had been frequently harassed by him. It was a long wait before Zhao Baorong eventually ambled back. His gaze swept over the group as he spoke with a serious tone, “I’ll ask one more time, are you certain you want to resign?” “Certain.” “Then let’s hurry up and do the handover.” Zhao Baorong pursed his lips, picked up their resignation requests, and then suddenly said with a smile, “Alright, the company has received your applications, and you can terminate your employment contracts after thirty days. In the coming month, I will arrange for someone to take over your duties.” Upon hearing this, all five employees furrowed their brows. Hou Yan immediately countered, “Is the company intending to forcefully hold us back?” Zhao Baorong chuckled and shook his head, “This is the law of the labor code.” “And is withholding our bonus also part of the labor code’s regulations?” Zhao Baorong tossed the resignation applications aside carelessly, “I can’t deal with the bonus issue, you can argue with the company about it all you want. Besides, if you dare to slack off during these 30 days and cause significant damage to the company’s live broadcast business, we will have our legal team sue you for compensation.” Hearing this, the five employees were somewhat worried. They could wait, but they weren’t sure if the new company could. Although Knowledgeable had promised them well, saying they would help address the issue of their departure, the reality was yet to be tested. He Liting clenched her fists and bit her lip, the worst she had feared was happening. What if they left here and the other side also abandoned them, resulting in a complete loss without any compensation. Zhao Baorong, looking at their expressions, revealed a triumphant smile, “Alright, go back to work diligently. We have a live broadcast tomorrow afternoon, and I’ve already arranged for a new operator.” Back in the office area. He Liting hurried over to Liu Renjie’s cubicle and whispered, “Brother Liu, the company won’t let us go, they want us to stay for 30 days, what should we do? Can Knowledgeable reach out and communicate with the company on our behalf?” The others quickly gathered around, equally concerned. “Don’t worry, I’ll make a call,” Liu Renjie didn’t seem panicked and stood up to walk outside. After about fifteen minutes, he came back looking refreshed. He messaged in the WeChat group, “No problem, everything is going to be fine, Knowledgeable will take care of it.” Hearing Knowledgeable’s promise, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. As a large human resources service agency backed by giants like DJRH, they definitely had the connections to reach out to their company’s leaders. Then they received another message. [Liu Renjie: “Also, everyone hurry up and organize your clock-in records, work performance, and chat records of the leaders promising bonuses. Send them all to me, we might have a chance to get our bonuses back.”] The others in the group immediately became excited, asking what he meant. [Liu Renjie: “I heard from the headhunter that the boss of our new company is stepping in to help us get this money back.”] He Liting’s heart skipped a beat—a bonus of over ten thousand yuan! A Louis Vuitton bag! A top-end Apple phone! Could it be time to return? ... 12:20 PM. Tang Song walked in, with a backpack on his back and an orange LV gift box in hand. His hawk-like gaze swept around, but he did not see Wen Ruan’s figure; she must not have arrived yet. He entered the changing room, changed into dry-fit clothes, and locked the gift box in a locker. Tang Song began his workout for the day, focusing mainly on his abs. After testing it out the past couple of days, he had realized that with the “Physical Recovery Potion,” he could totally ignore any damage from the workout. So, he might as well start working on those abs. A good physique is also an important criterion for charm scoring. Once he had merman lines, a slender waist, and boyfriend arms, his charm would surely skyrocket. After completing two sets of ab rollouts, a familiar scent of body fragrance wafted over. Tang Song stopped and turned to see Wen Ruan approaching him. She wore a light grey sun-protective jacket and black yoga pants. The loose jacket completely covered her good figure, revealing only a pair of energetic long legs, full and lustrous. “Wen Ruan, you’re here,” Tang Song stood up and greeted her. Wen Ruan said with concern, “You still need to exercise in moderation. Too much intensity can harm the body, and it’s not worth the injury.” “No worries, I feel quite good,” Tang Song patted his abdomen confidently. “Alright, as long as you know your limits.” Tang Song sincerely said, “Thank you for your concern, Wen Ruan!” Wen Ruan pursed her full, red lips, her seductive eyes locked on him. She reached for the zipper of the sun-protective jacket and with a “ziiip” sound, she opened it, revealing a tight, cropped white T-shirt underneath. Her full figure was on the brink of bursting out, and the distinct lines of her “vest” abs were indisputable. Taking a deep breath, the scent of citrus mixed with floral notes filled the air, brimming with hormonal essence. Wen Ruan’s lips gradually curved into a smile, and she hung her jacket on the fitness equipment, “Come on, I’ll personally guide you, and afterwards, I’ll give you a simple muscle massage.” Hearing Wen Ruan’s words, Tang Song’s eyes lit up. Were such good things really happening? “Wen Ruan, wait a minute, I need to go to the changing room,” he said. Wen Ruan paused, her gaze inadvertently dropping to the area below his abdomen. Is he already incapacitated? I haven’t even started exerting myself yet! A twitch appeared at the corner of Tang Song’s mouth as he quickly left. Entering the changing room, he opened the locker with the combination, taking out the LV gift bag. He hurried back to the anaerobic zone. Looking at the curious big sister in front of him, Tang Song smiled and handed her the gift bag behind him, “Thanks for mentoring me these past few days, taking up so much of your time. I’m giving you a little gift to show my gratitude; you wouldn’t refuse it, would you?” Wen Ruan casually took the gift bag, glanced at it, her eyebrows jumping slightly, “Louis Vuitton?” “Yeah, a bag for you. See if you like it.” Wen Ruan was stunned for a moment, her heart speeding up involuntarily. She was a normal woman, of course, she liked luxury brand bags and had saved up to buy a couple from Gucci herself. Licking her lips, Wen Ruan looked at Tang Song, sat down on a piece of fitness equipment, took out the gift box, and placed it on her ample thighs, carefully opening it. Tang Song explained from the side, “This model is the SPEEDY 35. Its size suits your height, and it’s a multipurpose bag. It’s very practical, perfect for travel, workouts, or work. I think it’s quite suitable for you.” Wen Ruan’s fingers brushed over the signature LV tan leather, feeling somewhat conflicted. She was well aware of this bag and extremely liked it, but the price tag of fourteen thousand was too expensive for her, and she hadn’t been willing to buy it. This was the first time a man had given her such an expensive gift, and they hadn’t known each other very long either. It was also the first time she’d felt Tang Song’s generous spirit. After all, having money was one thing, but being willing to spend it on a woman was another matter. She put the bag back in the box, stood up, and looked at Tang Song’s handsome face. Suddenly, she stepped forward. Then, Tang Song felt a warm, wet sensation on his face; it was soft. Wen Ruan stepped back, her smile beaming, “Thanks for the gift, little brother, I really like it. Here’s a kiss as a reward.” Tang Song touched his own left cheek, his heartbeat skipping a half beat. ... QJ (Yan City) Law Firm. More than ten lawyers and legal assistants were bustling about. The efficient team worked together like a finely tuned machine. Six lawyer representation agreements carefully sealed with official stamps, evidence collected and meticulously organized and categorized... 1:40 PM. Three sharply-dressed great lawyers got into a business car, hurrying toward Changyun Media. In the office, Zhao Xingzhi made a phone call, his voice clear, “Director Luo, I have arranged the task you assigned. There will absolutely be no issues, and it will be resolved today.”
