Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 1780 - 1841: Trouble in the Company

This Liuu Ming, who is the brother-in-law, was originally a low-level employee at a company, working in sales related to his field, but his income wasn’t high, and his family’s conditions were just average. Since entering the Li family’s business, he quickly transformed, rising rapidly from an ordinary employee to a supervisor, and then, due to good performance combined with Song Lianyao’s connections, was just promoted to Deputy Manager.The Li family now has too many businesses, and indeed, there are some lapses, such as this brother-in-law’s promotion, which is a loophole. After Li Xinyue’s mother’s incident, Li Yifei had set a requirement that unless relatives have exceptional talent for faster promotion, otherwise, they must climb step by step honestly, and no one should expect special treatment. But unfortunately, this brother-in-law used some means to deceive some people, and took advantage of the moment when the women of the Li family weren’t looking to climb up the ranks.

If this incident hadn’t happened, Li Yifei and others might not know about it until much later. If they found out then, they might just turn a blind eye to it.

The Li family aims to be fair, but the people below may not all comply. Liuu Ming relies on his special status, even the General Manager doesn’t dare to offend him lightly. If he goes to the Li family to say something, his managerial position could become unstable.

Not just one person thinks this way, but Li Yifei can’t openly talk about such matters; otherwise, those relatives might come crying or accuse Li Yifei of being heartless.

Back to the matter at hand, once Liuu Ming rose to a high position, he became conceited, considering himself highly capable. He began recruiting followers in the company, excluding dissenters, forcing even the General Manager to endure. Not long after, Liuu Ming ousted several senior executives and inserted his own people, causing many discordant voices within the company. If this incident hadn’t occurred, the General Manager might resign soon, allowing Liuu Ming to rise further.

When a small person gains power, they can easily become arrogant, lacking restraint. Liuu Ming ascended to a high position, at least what he considers high, gaining power, money, and believing he truly entered the life of the wealthy, becoming uncontrolled in various aspects.

This is the cause, and what happened yesterday was the effect.

A new university graduate joined the company, recently assigned here. Li family’s enterprises are premium companies throughout the province, and often the top choice for many excellent graduates. This new graduate from a prestigious school was also a beauty, reportedly a top figure at her school, and very capable. But shortly after entering the company, Liuu Ming targeted her.

These days, office sexual harassment isn’t new. When people with power and influence want to take advantage, it’s too easy. Those with strong personalities might directly refuse, while some don’t know how to refuse, and some are happy to enjoy such harassment.

This young woman belonged to the recently graduated, lacking social experience, wanting to refuse but unsure how. Such naïve girls are often easily overcome. By Liuu Ming’s experience, this was the case, and when he did sales, he witnessed several such incidents where newcomers were exploited by unscrupulous leaders.

This time, it was finally his turn. Liuu Ming thought, looking at the young woman’s delicate face, he couldn’t resist being tempted. While sitting in the office, he couldn’t help but want to see her.

However, the young woman had a boyfriend, who followed her, although not working at Li family’s enterprises, still had a decent job, earning nearly four thousand a month just a month into the industry, plus the young woman’s over three thousand, their future seemed bright.

Unfortunately, after being targeted by Liuu Ming, the young woman experienced a lot of harassment daily. This harassment was difficult to refuse; for example, Liuu Ming would ask her to do work beyond her duties, make her linger in front of him, which was overtime, helping, then express gratitude, invite her to dinner, or gift costly clothes.

The young woman naturally knew this was wrong and refused each time, but Liuu Ming always said consolation words.

In a few days, the young woman’s boyfriend noticed something was wrong, questioned her, and she confessed that the Deputy Manager at the company was acting inappropriately. She was indeed innocent, but her boyfriend understood the situation immediately and couldn’t help but fume, yet the young woman held him, saying she’d handle it. But a few days later, Liuu Ming didn’t just restrain himself; he intensified, starting to touch her. Once, when they were alone, Liuu Ming directly pinched her bottom.

This action terrified the young woman, who told her boyfriend, who was also young and vigorous, and he couldn’t hold back; the next day, he went to the company to confront Liuu Ming in his office.

Compared to the young woman’s boyfriend, Liuu Ming was a seasoned veteran, dismissing the boyfriend with a few words.

It wasn’t that her boyfriend couldn’t understand, but the young woman had to work there. Offending the Deputy Manager would lead to repercussions; they were still young, fresh out of school, facing such matters not knowing what to do and hesitant to tell their families.

It was this silence, retreat, hesitation that led to the incident. Two days ago, the young woman’s boyfriend was working late at his place, while she also did overtime, and finished at midnight. Usually, her boyfriend would pick her up, but he couldn’t that night. The young woman waited for a cab but failed to get one, feeling suddenly down, at which point a BMW pulled up beside her. Startled, she wanted to step back, only to see Liuu Ming’s familiar face through the rolled-down window.

The young woman politely greeted the manager, Liuu Ming promptly asked, "Your boyfriend isn’t here to pick you up?"

"He’s working late today."

"Working late at this hour?"

"He said he’ll work overnight." The young woman didn’t realize this sentence would harm her.

Liuu Ming’s eyes lit up, he chuckled, tossed his head, and said, "Get in, I’ll take you home. It’s not safe for a young lady to get a cab at night."

"Ah, no need, I... a cab will come soon." The young woman bit her lip and said.

"Never mind, it’s on the way, I’m heading your direction anyway." Liuu Ming coaxed, knowing where she lived from company records.

The young woman hesitated a bit, but got into Liuu Ming’s car.
