Chapter 1274 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey
Liu Ke's face turned pale and then flushed.
Cold sweat broke out on his back.
On that dark, chubby face, all that remained was a look of utter wretchedness, as if crushed by fear.
No, he can't call the police.
Lu Mingzhu didn't say it outright, but they all knew that they were secretly using all sorts of vulgar language to slander Lu Mingzhu in the group chat.
If the police investigate, the defamation charge will definitely be proven.
This Lu Mingzhu...
They're so difficult to deal with!
Not just Liu Ke, everyone else thought the same thing.
Liu Ke was forced to look directly into Lu Mingzhu's sharp eyes.
He swallowed hard, trying to swallow his anger, but his face still stung: "You can't bully us junior employees just because you're powerful!"
"Yes, you were the one who started it!"
"While what you said was a bit harsh, are you not at fault?"
Lu Mingzhu listened to the cacophony of accusations and smiled calmly.
"So, you're saying I made him deliberately act like a jerk in front of me today?"
Everyone fell silent, unsure of what Lu Mingzhu meant.
Lu Mingzhu said calmly, "If you think it's not enough, I can slap you again. Don't you know the number to call the police?"
Lu Mingzhu took out her phone, pressed the emergency call button, and casually handed it to Liu Ke: "Go ahead and call."
Liu Ke's face turned deathly pale instantly.
Even if you can't bear it anymore, you have to endure it!
How could he be so stupid as to shout the words "call the police"?
Liu Ke quickly softened his tone, hoping that if he showed weakness, Lu Mingzhu might let him off the hook!
After all, she was the one who hit someone first!
Liu Ke immediately smiled apologetically, "President Lu, we're in the same office, I was just joking! Could you please..."
"late."
Lu Mingzhu's voice was not loud, and could even be described as calm.
But her words instantly shattered all of Liu Ke's hopes.
Liu Ke suddenly raised her head, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes.
Lu Mingzhu raised her eyes, her gaze finally landing on Liu Ke, her expression turning cold.
Article 7 of the Company Headquarters Employee Code of Conduct—
Lu Mingzhu: "Any form of insult, discrimination, sexual harassment, or defamation of colleagues is strictly prohibited. Violators will be immediately terminated from their employment contracts, and we reserve the right to pursue legal action against them."
wow——
A commotion broke out in the arena.
Employee handbooks are given to new employees on their first day, but very few people actually read them carefully.
Who would use this as a pretext?
But Lu Mingzhu insisted on it!
They couldn't believe they had pulled the dusty employee handbook out of the intern's drawer.
Sure enough, it was the one Lu Mingzhu mentioned!
Lu Mingzhu smiled faintly: "Unfortunately, I was in charge of drafting this employee handbook."
Liu Ke's legs went weak, and he almost knelt down.
Why is he so desperate to target Lu Mingzhu?!
Is this the kind of person he can mess with?
Now, not only is there no hope for a raise, but he's also going to be fired!
Lu Mingzhu sneered, "Your actions were recorded in their entirety; the evidence is irrefutable..."
She turned to the HR department and asked, "Do I still need to submit an OA form and go through the process?"
Manager Zhao from the HR department quickly wiped his sweat.
Manager Zhao: "No, no, we believe you are right! This is because our HR department didn't provide adequate training before... We are truly sorry!"
This matter could be a big deal or a small deal. The Asia-Pacific region has only been open for a few years. With Lu Mingzhu's qualifications, she might just file a complaint all the way to headquarters...
Do they still need their HR department?
He might have to resign.
Manager Zhao smiled obsequiously, his face full of fawning.
Lu Mingzhu glanced at it indifferently and didn't say anything.
Manager Zhao gestured to his subordinate with his eyes, then stepped forward indifferently: "I'm sorry, Mr. Liu Ke, according to the employee handbook, you have violated company regulations and your employment contract has been terminated. Please pack your personal belongings immediately and come with us to settle your salary and complete the resignation procedures. We will clean up your work area later."
Liu Ke was still reeling from the immense shock.
How come he's going to be jailed after calling the police one minute, and then fired the next?!
No, it shouldn't be like this!
He definitely deserves a promotion and a raise!
Lu Mingzhu should be scared!
Liu Ke was overwhelmed by a deep-seated fear. He couldn't lose this job, he couldn't!
His family paid a hefty price to get him this job; otherwise, with his qualifications, he wouldn't even have been qualified to get a foot in the door.
But now all of this is about to be destroyed!
destroyed!
He shouldn't have listened to that bastard Cheng Huan!
In an instant, Liu Ke felt a pang of regret.
If only he had known... if only he hadn't offended Lu Mingzhu!
"President Lu, I was wrong! I was really wrong!"
Liu Ke's voice was hoarse, almost choked with tears as he hurriedly said, "It was my fault for being so talkative! I deserve to die! I... I'm just a beast! Please, have mercy on me this time! I beg you! I'll never do it again! I'll change, I promise I will!"
Liu Ke's expression was full of pleading.
If there weren't so many people around, he would have really wanted to kneel down!
Lu Mingzhu's expression was cold, and her indifferent eyes held a deep, somber look.
"If it weren't me being humiliated and insulted by you today, what if it were someone else?"
"Just because other female colleagues can't do anything to you doesn't mean they're just supposed to put up with it."
"Unfortunately, the person you've messed with today is me."
Letting such despicable people run rampant, spreading rumors today and talking nonsense tomorrow, it's no wonder there are hardly any female colleagues here.
Lu Mingzhu finally understood just how terrible the working environment was here.
Her words not only failed to make Liu Ke repent, but he didn't listen to a word she said.
Liu Ke hurriedly said, "President Lu! Please give me a chance! I have elderly parents and young children to support, I can't lose my job! I promise I'll change! I'll never be so sarcastic again!"
Lu Mingzhu was too lazy to listen and glanced at Manager Zhao.
Manager Zhao quickly ordered his subordinates, "Why aren't you taking him back to our HR department?!"
Take it back to process your resignation.
The two subordinates nodded hurriedly. To put it nicely, it was an invitation; to put it bluntly, it was Liu Ke, who was still begging for mercy and whose steps were unsteady, forcing him to leave.
Making noise here is outrageous.
They still need to work.
"President Lu! President Lu!"
Liu Ke's lips moved as he screamed repeatedly, his eyes fixed on Lu Mingzhu.
How could he be so stupid as to provoke such a person?
It's over, it's over!
However, before Liu Ke could finish begging for mercy, she was grabbed by the arm and dragged away from Lu Mingzhu's sight.
The roaring sound gradually faded in the corridor, leaving behind a suffocating silence in the office.
The air was silent.
Everyone hung their heads, wishing they could shrink into a crack in the ground, afraid of being seen by Lu Mingzhu.
They had just had quite a few people participate in the conversation as well.
Lu Mingzhu didn't even glance at Liu Ke as she walked away. She simply raised her eyes indifferently, holding the meager stack of documents, and calmly swept her gaze across the entire office area.
Wherever Lu Mingzhu's gaze fell, everyone subconsciously tensed up.
Now that we've made an example of them, there's no need for further demonstrations.
