Chapter 6: Workplace Harassment

Early in the morning, Tang Yu was woken by the alarm clock, reached for her phone, and turned off the alarm.

The heavy weight on her chest made her open her eyes—Xibao was sprawled on top of her, sound asleep, with one finger still stuck in her mouth, unconsciously sucking.

Tang Yu pulled out her own short, chubby finger, and freed her legs from Zhengzheng's grasp, with Haohao's hand resting on Zhengzheng's round belly, Junjun had rolled over to the side of the window sill, sleeping on the bed, with her short legs propped up on the sill, looking quite unrestrained.

The adorable sleeping poses of the three little ones were something Tang Yu could never get tired of seeing every day.

"Time to get up, time for neinei," Tang Yu shook Xibao on top of her.

"Mmm..." Xibao rubbed her eyes, looking dazed and cute. Upon seeing her mom, her little mouth spread into a smile, "Mommy..."

Shortly after, her three sons woke up one after another, all climbing on her.

"Ah, I'm the Big Gray Wolf, and I've caught the little bunny!" Once Tang Yu said this, the little bunnies scattered, her three sons moved quickly, Xibao reacted slowly, and her chubby legs were caught—

"Oh no, caught!" exclaimed Xibao in surprise.

Tang Yu playfully took a bite at that little chubby leg.

Tickled, Xibao giggled, "No... not good."

After playing in bed for a while, they got up.

The four little ones dressed themselves, Tang Yu went to the kitchen to make formula milk for them and prepare their complementary food.

Although she worked hard to earn money, she made sure her children never lacked nutrition.

It was much better than when they were one or two years old, at that time the four children's formula alone cost more than ten thousand yuan per month, and she nearly had to sell her blood.

The four little ones got dressed and went to the washbasin to brush their teeth and wash their faces, like little penguins, with identical toothpaste, toothbrushes, and small towels.

Clumsy but so adorably it could make someone's nose bleed.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

They spat out the fruit-flavored toothpaste from their mouths, one by one, then prepared to play their water-spraying game.

Junjun filled his mouth with water and sprayed forcefully towards the door, just as Tang Yu came in.

"Hmm?" Junjun froze, blinking his big eyes.

Quietly, Zhengzheng and Haohao spat the water in their mouths into the sink, while Xibao accidentally swallowed her mouthful of water.

"Went into my tummy," said Xibao innocently.

"Why are you playing with water again?" Tang Yu pulled them out one by one, helpless, "Come out, no more playing."

At the dining table, the four little ones sat in a row, each holding a small milk bottle, biting on the nipples and sucking, their big eyes wide open, incredibly cute.

Tang Yu then brought out the porridge, full of green vegetables, shreds of meat, and eggs, a meal rich in nutrients.

After finishing their milk, the four little ones started eating porridge.

Sitting across from them, Tang Yu took out her phone, intending to capture their adorable moment, but then thought better of it and put it down.

Ever since she encountered Ye Sihan, she even changed the wallpaper of her phone, which used to be photos of her children.

With a one month deadline, she had to be extremely careful—otherwise, if she couldn't leave, it would be all over.

She believed that Ye Sihan had overwhelming influence in Jingdu and could easily prevent her from leaving the city.

The image of him killing someone still sent shivers down her spine even now.

Day after day passed, and with three days left until the end of the month—

"I've found out for sure, you're not Xiao Yu's girlfriend," said Manager Wang Mingkai with certainty.

Tang Yu, who was at the reception desk, was called into the office and stood properly to the side, wondering to herself why he was inquiring about this.

"If it's not the case, you might as well follow me! With my protection, promotions and pay raises won't be a problem for you," Wang Mingkai's eyes gradually became perverse.

Tang Yu was shocked internally, could it be? Sexual harassment in the workplace?

"Sorry, Supervisor, I don't have those kinds of thoughts."

"You could have those thoughts."

"Sorry, I refuse."

"I'm telling you, you better not mess with me."

Tang Yu couldn't help but laugh, "Haven't you thought about how I got in here?"

"No matter how high the mountain behind you is, is it higher than Mr. Ye? All it takes is for me to tell Mr. Ye about your lazy performance at work, and you can pack up and leave."

"Then go ahead!" Tang Yu turned and walked away.

Seeing her arrogance, Wang Mingkai was not lightly angered, there would come a time when she begged for mercy!

Returning to the reception, Tang Yu asked Ding You, who was nearby, "How many years has the Supervisor been with KING Group?"

"Two years," Ding You finished speaking, and then added, "He's a relative from Mr. Ye's maternal family side, don't offend him, just play along."

Tang Yu thought to herself, no wonder he's so arrogant, ordinary people really wouldn't dare to offend him, or else their job would be at risk.

Seeming to think of something, she turned her head to look at Ding You.

"Have you been harassed too?"

"Before you came, I was the one being harassed, not anymore," Ding You chuckled.

"..." Tang Yu.

At noon, Tang Yu was alone at her post when a folder was thrown in front of her, "If this person comes, let him go upstairs directly."

"Alright." Tang Yu saw that Wang Mingkai had finished giving instructions and turned to leave, but his gaze was still discomforting.

However, she didn't take it to heart.

About ten minutes later, a man in his thirties walked in, his gaze unfriendly, "I'm looking for Chen Xiaoli."

"Please follow me." Tang Yu led the man to the elevator and let him go up directly.

Not long after, Tang Yu saw security personnel hurriedly heading towards the elevator.

Soon, a man was dragged out of the elevator, the very same man she had let in who was looking for Chen Xiaoli.

What happened?

Wang Mingkai ran to the reception, fuming and with a heavy expression, "Come with me upstairs."

Tang Yu followed him into the elevator and asked, "What happened?"

"You'll know when you get there."

Upon reaching the office of the highest authority, the man behind the desk commanded respect with an air of intimidation, dressed all in black; merely sitting there, his oppressive aura was enough to leave one breathless.

The whole story was that the receptionist had carelessly let someone into KING Group, who then injured the administrative manager Chen Xiaoli.

Standing to the side, Xiao Yu asked, "Supervisor Wang, such a low-level mistake, do you not want to work here anymore?"

The normally arrogant Wang Mingkai now couldn't even stand up straight, "I'm sorry, it was all the new employee's mistake, I told her even if that person had an appointment, she couldn't let him in. I don't know if she took some kind of bribe to act like this."

Tang Yu, with her head down, was stunned and explained, "That's not the case, Supervisor Wang said to let him go up directly. Supervisor Wang, you're framing me."

"Why would I frame a newcomer like you?" retorted Wang Mingkai. "Although you've only been working for a few days, I feel that your heart isn't in the job. There have been several similar mistakes, all discovered by me. This time, the incident happened because I was away eating and not keeping an eye on her. I, as a leader, should reflect and will give her the appropriate punishment."

Tang Yu couldn't believe it, "I didn't!"

Xiao Yu asked, "How can you prove it? The surveillance footage shows you taking the person to the elevator."

Tang Yu bit her lip; at the time, she was the only one at the reception, and aside from the Supervisor, no one could vouch for her.

And since Wang Mingkai was a relative of Ye Sihan's maternal family, why would they choose to believe her?
