In fact, the next morning, Chen Gong had completely forgotten about the "online rant" that Zheng Yi had called him last night.

-Since Zheng Yi joined the company, there have been frequent conflicts between the two, big and small. Every day, if Zheng Yi hadn't swayed in front of him to make a quarrel or something, Chen Gong would have felt uncomfortable.

So this time Zheng Yi's "drinking madness" is not something that needs to be remembered for Chen Gong.

This Xiang Chen captured the morning meeting and just returned to his workstation, revising the ppt of the plan handed in by the employees of the department, and was suddenly poured a whole bottle of drink by Zheng Yi.

Among them, Chen Gong, Dianguang, and Flint, couldn't understand, and didn't bother to think about it.

At the moment, only three thoughts flashed in my mind:

1. The day before yesterday, I seemed to hear Auntie Cleaning share how to clean clothes if they get wet with drinks, but I didn't listen carefully at that time, so I can make a special trip to ask today.

2. There is an advertising shirt that was given by the gym a long time ago in the cabinet under the workstation. It can be exchanged to deal with this emergency.

3. Press Ctrl+S to save the half-modified scheme first.

After executing the third thought, Chen Gong rubbed his eyes fascinated by the drink, stood up and turned around, with a wet hand of lemon-flavored sports drink, and gave Zheng Yi a sweet and juicy punch.

Zheng Yi, who was punched, fell to the ground, clutching his chin in pain, staring at Chen Gong.

And Chen Gong used a signboard indifferent face, silently responding to Zheng Yi's look at him.

After a moment of silent confrontation, Zheng Yi wiped his chin, and a little blood spattered from the corner of his mouth - it seemed that his mouth was broken.

Chen Gong frowned for a moment imperceptibly, the hand that had just punched fell unnaturally on the side of his leg, and his fingers rubbed a few times uneasily.

Sticky and annoying.

Zheng Yi was the person Chen Gong interviewed himself to enter HALO - after that, Chen Gong recalled that he often felt that this was called "bringing wolves into the room".

Since its establishment, HALO's business performance has not skyrocketed, but it has been growing steadily. After accumulating capital for many years, the company finally decided to reach out to the market in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai this year, so it will send a few backbones to Hangzhou to establish and operate a branch.

Chen Gongben is also on the dispatch list. It is undoubtedly a golden opportunity to be directly promoted from the current position of deputy director of the department to the deputy general manager of the branch.

But the reason why Chen Gong is determined to stay is: "Don't worry about President Wang."

President Wang-Wang Yao is the general manager of HALO, and he can be regarded as Chen Gong's bole and life mentor.

When Wang Yao first set up HALOstudio, the entire team consisted of only four or five people. It has grown to a size of forty or fifty people today, and the change of personnel in the middle is not small. Only Chen Gong followed Wang Yao or HALO every step of the way. came together.

It was a weekend night at the time, and Wang Yao invited Chen Gong to a small Qing bar downstairs of his house to talk to Chen Gong about the dispatch plan to set up a branch. After listening to Chen Gong's reason for refusing to be dispatched, the drunk Wang Yao was moved to tears. He hugged Chen Gong in the bar and shouted, "Good brother is loyal enough" and refused to let go. Director) is going to Hangzhou" to compensate Chen Gong for the position of "Director of the Visual Department".

After a day or two, President Wang threw a resume to Chen Gong, saying that he asked Chen Gong to "help you interview individuals for the Vision Department".

Zheng Yi has a beautiful resume - a bachelor's degree in visual design at the University of the Arts London, a master's degree in the Mass Communication Research Society of the Bauhaus School of Design; he has won the Blue Dot Design Silver Award and the top ten in the Tokyo Photographic Art Society Yearbook. (Author ps: It's all edited and not worth studying)

During the interview, Chen Gong and Zheng Yi's answer was also very speculative - the topic was from the drawbacks of the domestic photography art industry to the future development trend, and Shengsheng turned an interview into a photography art seminar salon.

After seeing Zheng Yi away, President Wang asked Chen Gong, "How is this kid?"

Chen Gongzhi nodded: "Amazing!"

"Compared to you?"

"It can't compare—his resume is ten blocks away from me."

President Wang patted Chen Gong on the shoulder: "Don't belittle yourself, he-he's here to attack you."

A week later, Zheng Yi joined HALO as the "Director of the Vision Department", and Chen Gongcai was dumbfounded.

It was also after that time that Chen Gong completely understood that the old man's drunken remarks could not be trusted.

On the night of Zheng Yi's entry into the job, President Wang called Chen Gong and Zheng Yi together to drink again.

President Wang held Zheng Yi's shoulder and gave a thumbs up: "Xiao Zheng, your advantage lies in your broad aesthetic vision - I gave you this position because I want you to lead the entire department to become 'foreign'! Accurate judgment on aesthetic trends It is the most important thing in this department - as for Xiao Chen, your vision is narrow, but your business ability is strong. I hope you two complement each other's advantages and join forces to be my right-hand man! Okay?"

As soon as Zheng heard Wang Yao's words, his fighting spirit instantly ignited, and his forehead nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, Old Wang!"

Chen Gong sipped his wine indifferently, his dissatisfaction with being robbed of his position had not yet subsided, and only after a long time did he let out a faint "um".

Although Chen Gong has a stubborn personality, he can actually understand the difficulties of Pharaoh - the company is at an important juncture, Pharaoh wants to use preferential treatment to hold onto Zheng Yi's beautiful trump card, and Chen Gong will accompany him even after a small grievance.

But this trump card is now making things difficult and running, and what's more, he poured himself a drink this morning, and then roared the line "Chen Gong wants to sexually harass the female intern!" in the office of the Human Resources Department...

- Chen Gong felt that he was too noisy.

In the surveillance video: From 18:00 to 20:56, there were only two overtime workers left at the workstations in the visual department—Chen Gong and the female intern; the two were each sitting at their workstations for nearly three hours. During the hour, the two did not have any close interaction, and the few exchanges were only long-distance conversations across a large table and chairs.

Qiu Mang, the head of the Human Resources Department, took off his glasses, first glanced at the "defendant" Chen Gong, who was sitting slanting on the sofa behind him, and then turned to look at Zheng Yi: "This is all the surveillance data... It proves that Chen Gong did not sexually harass the intern in action."

Zheng Yi didn't believe in evil, he frowned and turned the video around quickly, and the "victimized" intern was summoned into the conference room at this time.

Zheng Bai was puzzled, turned his head and asked the victimized intern: "Can you tell me specifically how Chen Gong sexually harassed you? - If there is no action, is it in words?"

The intern frowned and glanced at Chen Gong, then at Qiumang, and turned to Zheng Yi with a surprised expression: "I didn't say that Deputy Supervisor Chen sexually harassed me..."

Hearing the intern's denial, Zheng Yi felt a little hot in his forehead: "Hey, don't deny it - that's not what you said on the phone yesterday!"

The intern shook his head: "Yes, I just said... Deputy Supervisor Chen was a little disrespectful to me."

Zheng Yi nodded: "Yes, you said so!"

"Deputy Supervisor Chen scolded me yesterday for 'eating and waiting to die', 'I don't know how to make progress' and so on... Isn't that disrespecting me?" The intern defended, his eyes reddened: "I didn't expect to cause trouble. It's so big, I just don't want to work overtime... I never said that Deputy Supervisor Chen sexually harassed me, is it because you drank too much yesterday, Supervisor Zheng, and misunderstood... "

Hearing the intern start crying with pear blossoms and rain, Zheng Yi almost didn't carry it back in one breath.

It was clear that Chen Gong was the messenger of justice who "violated his subordinates" just now, but he became a villain who "slandered others" in an instant.

The residual hangover made his brain hurt. Zheng Yi took a deep breath and thought about it repeatedly. After a while, he raised his head and glanced at the intern again: "... So I misunderstood you?"

The intern pouted and nodded, sobbing non-stop.

Yu Guangli Chen Gong sat silently on the sofa without saying a word - you don't need to look at it, just thinking about it, you can know his signboard is indifferent - like a dead man's expression.

Zheng Yi glanced at Qiumang with a bitter face, Qiumang put on an expression of "I can't save you" and carefully sucked the freshly shot espresso with his mouth pouting.

Taking a steady breath, Zheng Yi urged himself to turn around and "try to appear calm" to face Chen Gong: "Then... why did you detain people for so long?"

Chen Gong didn't raise his eyes: "She hasn't finished a poster for two weeks - but it's going to be delivered to a client this morning."

"What about forcing people to take your car?"

"No. It's too late. I'm afraid it's not safe for the little girl to go home alone."

The truth has long been revealed, so every question at the moment seems like a stalker that is not very clever.

Zheng Yi finally realized that he was passively caught in a puddle of mud—the pure motive for asserting justice, but now he was like an idiot who was throwing dirty water.

Due to the reckless personality, no one can blame anyone.

Fortunately, Qiu Mang opened his mouth at the right time, freeing Zheng Yi, who was in embarrassment and desperate: "So it seems that it is just a misunderstanding - it would be good if everyone is fine!" Mang turned his eyes from the three parties, and finally stopped at the female intern's dodging eyes with a meaningful smile; at the end he closed the case with the sentence "Is there any man who is not stupid in this world?" Dismissal rules - "holding hands and punishing stand".

Chen Gong, who got rid of the stigma, took a long breath, got up and patted the dust on his body for no reason, and took the lead out of the conference room to stand in the public rest area of the atrium.

Zheng Yi was embarrassed, but also embarrassed to put down his body to admit his mistake, just raised his chin, endured the pain and followed Chen Gong to the atrium.

He scribbled the hand that Chen Gong had reserved for him, and then he gritted his teeth and frowned.

When the penalty stand reached 11:49, Chen Gong answered the phone.

Although he hung up after only replying three "um" and one "thank you" briefly, judging from the faint voice leaking from the side, Zheng Yi knew that the one who called Chen Gong was their common boss, HALO. General Manager Wang.

Standing still is not a problem. After Zheng Yi glared away a few onlookers with his eyes, he asked Chen Gong for nothing: "Pharaoh is looking for you?"

Chen Gong said "um".

Zheng looked back at Chen Gong: "What's the matter?"

Chen Gong was very frank: "scold me."

Zheng Yi said "Oh".

Although the two were at odds, they had misunderstood Chen Gong today, and Zheng Yi felt a little uneasy at the moment.

The purpose of talking to Chen Gong was also to lay out a period of relief, but the answer given by Chen Gong also involved the consequences of the fight just now... It is expected that he is angry, and it is not a good time to talk.

So it was a long embarrassment.

At 12:00, the punishment ends.

Qiumang walked out of HALO to the atrium, stood in front of Chen Gong and Zheng Yi, and raised the rule in his hand: "What should be done between peers?"

The two of them answered indiscriminately without understanding: "... united and friendly, fighting side by side... "

"What should I do if I encounter a conflict?"

"Face it rationally, communicate actively..." Zheng Yi also forgot the words in this paragraph, hiding in a vague voice under Chen Gong's decisive voice.

Qiumang didn't embarrass him, and after the training session was over, he raised his mobile phone and "clicked" at the two of them.

Chen Gong was somewhat resistant to Qiu Mang's photo-taking behavior: "What are you taking?"

"Hey! It proves that you two have been punished!" Qiu Mang ignored Chen Gong's resistance and put away his phone: "Senior Chen, your temper has been like this since college, can you change it? - If you meet again Like this procrastination of the intern, I suggest you to communicate with the Human Resources Department first—that is, me, and I will handle it professionally.”

Chen Gong sneered: "What will you do with your personnel? Don't you just fire them all?"

"Deputy Superintendent Chen - People like you really don't survive half an episode in Fang Gong Dou drama! You've become a 'pervert' now, and you still have the mind to protect others!"

Chen Gong was blocked so much that he couldn't speak, so he just turned his head to the side.

Qiu Mang shook his head helplessly, then turned his head in the direction of Zheng Yi and said, "—Of course, what's even more incomprehensible is that there are people who will be fooled around!"

Zheng Yi was ridiculed to the point of being ashamed, his face was blue and white for a while, he couldn't refute anything for a long time, but gave Qiu Mang a "glare".

After mocking the two big guys who were a head taller than himself, Qiu Mang sighed leisurely, "I hate iron is not steel": "How do you say that? - 'Tall, short-sighted!' I am a lesson today. It’s over—Pharaoh is in a lot of trouble with financing recently, you two, as his most trusted right-hand man, it’s better to avoid troubles!”

Chen Gong and Zheng Yi glanced at each other.

Qiumang cleared his throat: "It's over, how long do you plan to pull your hand-"

Chen Gong let go and confirmed to Qiumang, "Have you bought the plane ticket for me?", and left first after getting a positive answer.

Leaving Zheng Yi in place, he sucked a few mouthfuls of sweet blood, and whispered to Chen Gong's back, "Enough!"

Watching Chen Gong's figure turn back to HALO, Qiu Mang put down the role of director of the Human Resources Department, restored his identity as a friend, and patted Zheng Yi's head with the document in his hand: "You still said he - it's you Being called a 'pervert who sexually harassed female intern', your explosive temper should blow up the whole HALO!"

Zheng Yi felt that what Qiu Mang said was right, and felt a little annoyed.

Taking a few steps back, he fell into the sofa in the atrium lounge area, rubbed his sore calf, turned around for a while and tried to find Chen Gong's back.

After the search was fruitless, he turned around, raised his head and asked Qiumang, "Am I going a little too far this time...?"

Qiumang nodded calmly: "You're going too far."
