Getting permission to speak from the CEO, Song Wei didn't waste any time. He glanced briefly at Wang Huanling who was also looking at him, then looked straight ahead. Confidently began to speak.
"President Wang, recently there was a problem at the company employee forum. A member of mine did an unsavory act in a public place and someone took a picture of it, then posted it on an employee forum and became gossip. It's the same this morning, a video and an ambiguous explanation have caused a commotion in the office." He paused for a moment to pay attention to Wang Xian Wei's expression, but there was no change.
"Although not all employees know him, they gossip about it. Many also feel uncomfortable and interfere with performance, dozens of employees have also complained and wanted that person to be dismissed from work in this office," he continued.
Wang Xian Wei didn't react, even though his head was full of conclusions regarding the current situation. He turned his gaze to the man next to Song Wei, as if asking about the benefits of being here. Given his not-so-bad relationship with Xiao You Ren, did he come to defend or vice versa?
Feeling the questioning gaze of the only person seated, Wang Huanling was a little nervous. He recalled the irritation in his heart, the things he was clearly envious of. Apart from Xiao You Ren's better luck, he also admitted that the boy had far better abilities than him.
Armed with annoyance, he confidently spoke up. "President Wang, I am here as a complement. It was Sir Johnny who asked Sir Wei to bring in representatives of his division members. I just want to confirm Sir Wei's words, in a normally conducive workroom, ever since the news came it was very noisy. It is also quite influential on the work focus of other employees."
Wang Xian Wei nodded his head as if understanding something, leaning against the back of the chair. His lips moved. "So, what do you want? Finding out the rumormonger? Solve this problem and restore calm? Or something else?"
The answer was not between the two options, Wang Xian Wei was just playing around a bit, wanting to know how bad his two employees were.
Hearing Wang Xian Wei's question, did not fail to make Wang Huanling feel anxious. If the rumour mill was discovered, even if he used someone else's account and tried his best to hide the truth, it would still be discovered in the end. Moreover, Wang Xian Wei directly intervened to find out, it couldn't be difficult to find him in such a short span of time.
Due to his nervousness, Wang Huanling lowered his head, reluctant to come face to face with anyone. His fingers clenched behind his back.
Luckily Song Wei reacted quickly. He spoke again and said, "I'm sorry, President Wang, but even if the identity of the rumormonger is known, it won't change the facts, nor can it get things back on track."
Wang Xian Wei nodded. "That's right, people have already said bad things about Xiao You Ren, it must be hard to deal with."
Song Wei secretly agreed. Actually, he didn't have any problems with Xiao You Ren, wasn't close and didn't know much about that member of his division. However, hearing about someone who has sexual deviance made him feel uncomfortable. Not to mention the assessment of the people in the office towards Xiao You Ren, making him feel a little pity.
It was because of such pity that Song Wei thought that it would be better for Xiao You Ren to go out and find another job outside, rather than experience mental stress.
In contrast to Wang Huanling who felt the indirect support of his division leader, he quickly racked his brains and chimed in trying to sway opinions for Xiao You Ren to be expelled. "Xiao You Ren's good name is already bad, wouldn't it be better to be dismissed? Many employees have felt uncomfortable by the incident, the men around them have become wary."
"How did you know that?" Johnny, who had only been an observer from the start, started to speak. Couldn't help but remain silent when he realized the end of Wang Huanling's words that would allude to same-sex relationships. Let's just say he's trying to protect the employee.
Unexpectedly, Wang Huanling actually replied loudly, "I… I am one of them. I feel a little scared to be around Xiao You Ren, even though our relationship isn't that bad. However, since the day the rumors spread, people started to question my status."
Wang Xian Wei frowned, his eyes turned flat, and when he bumped into Johnny there was a lopsided smile plastered on his handsome face. They both are known to have a good relationship and can get to know each other's thoughts.
"Then there's no need to worry anymore. This problem will be solved now. What you guys want is for Xiao You Ren not to be seen in the company again, right?"
Song Wei and Wang Huanling did not dare to nod, but their feelings were filled with flowers.
"From now on you won't see him again. Go and make sure you do well while waiting for your wishes to come true," Wang Xian Wei said absolutely.
Before leaving, Song Wei took the time to thank him and express his apologies. Wang Huanling on the other hand had a satisfied face, smiling triumphantly and walking a bit arrogantly.
After they left, Johnny sat down on the chair opposite Wang Xian Wei. Gave a cynical gaze filled with questions. He didn't doubt his friend's decision, because Wang Xian Wei really shouldn't be. Of the three of them, he was the one with the most forward thinking, ambitious, and resolute.
However, that doesn't mean it's a good thing. Because after all, Wang Xian Wei was quite ruthless. The thought made him curious and asked, "What are you planning?"
No response.
"What would you do?"
There was still no response, but Wang Xian Wei gave a cold look and clearly didn't care about his question. In the next second, he said words that no one wanted to hear.
"Is your work done? Want to sign a resignation letter or be dishonorably discharged?"
Johnny snorted in annoyance, paused for a moment, and came back to remembering something else. "Isn't the behavior of the employee who is with the planning division leader a bit strange?"
Wang Xian Wei stared with a question mark. Naturally, he paid less attention to Wang Huanling and focused more on Song Wei. Meanwhile, Johnny was standing a bit further behind the two people, so it was easier to see them.
"He looks like he's hiding something and gets nervous."
Wang Xian Wei thought about it a bit, only for a moment before he again chased Johnny away, forcing the person to work very well.
Again, Johnny couldn't help but snort in annoyance before starting to get up and head back to his room.
Actually, he was the company secretary who doubled as the boss's personal assistant, because most of the assistants personally hired by Wang Xian Wei were not up to standard. Some do good jobs, but lack morals and show an open interest in their boss. Also, not a few were careless because of nervousness, were afraid of Wang Xian Wei's sharp gaze, and were depressed under the CEO's perfectionist attitude.
Before completely disappearing behind the door of Wang Xian Wei's room, he turned to face the man, and said, "It would be better if there was someone else who could stand your character other than me. That will help a lot."
Wang Xian Wei didn't really care, completely ignoring Johnny's frequent complaints. Picked up a cell phone and called an intelligence officer who had previously been summoned to find out about the rumours.
….
The atmosphere in the office was really bad, many pairs of eyes were openly glancing at Xiao You Ren with various meanings. The anxiety in his heart was suppressed deeply, trying hard to ignore people.
After the video of how he walked went viral, all the employees around were whispering to each other. Scorn and say unkind words. A few minutes after the update notification on the employee forum, things got quite chaotic and a lot of people were talking about it. Then, Johnny came to reprimand them and gave orders for everything to go back to business as usual, ignoring the vague rumours.
After Johnny's departure, the atmosphere became chaotic again. Although a little more restrained, most of the employees have refocused on getting the job done first. Likewise, Xiao You Ren, focusing on what is being done, regarding the new problems that befall him, can be thought about when the work is finished.
After a while, several employees got up from their seats and entered Song Wei's room, one of them was Wang Huanling. Seeing that, Xiao You Ren didn't have any bad thoughts, he just thought that those people would discuss something related to work.
In less than fifteen minutes, Song Wei came out of his room first and was followed by the others. While Song Wei left with Wang Huanling, the rest returned to their seats.
One of them passed by Xiao You Ren's table and whistled in an annoying tone, sitting on Wang Huanling's empty chair. The movement clearly caused a slight shock to the side of Xiao You Ren's eyes, subconsciously turning his head to find out.
When their eyes met, the disdain of the other party reflected in their eyes plus a scornful smile. Xiao You Ren felt a little uncomfortable, so he turned his head back and stared at the computer screen.
The person rebuked in a voice that was not loud, but enough for many people in the silent room to hear. "You Ren," he called.
Xiao You Ren didn't react, keeping an eye on his work, he knew there would be bad things to respond to that person.
"Hey, Xiao You Ren! Didn't your parents teach you to respect others when they talk to you?"
Again Xiao You Ren gave no response, he tried hard not to care. This clearly provoked the other party to become even more angry.
The man's voice was getting louder and louder, he pounded the table with one hand. "Are you deaf or dumb?"
The irritation in Xiao You Ren's heart started to swell but was hidden by the formal smile that was displayed when he turned to the side. He glanced at the man and asked, "Tell me what do you need? We are still working. Don't you feel likee you're wasting your time talking about unimportant things?"
That person was about two to three years older than Xiao You Ren, it was certain that such a young soul had somewhat explosive emotions when it came to self-respect. And Xiao You Ren's words just now seemed to cause another irritation in his heart. How could a junior be so bold as to say work-related things to his senior?
The other party's anger was so great and explosive. His chest heaved up and down, taking in ravenous breaths. The taller and bulkier body towered over, stood up, and tugged at Xiao You Ren's shirt collar.
"You damn homosexual, how dare you remind me of work! Your mother must be incompetent to teach you, huh!" His face was flushed with irritation, every word that came out of his mouth contained anger.
