The intense shock, the suddenness like a bolt from the blue, the humiliation of being slapped publicly and having one's face torn off – these are things those who haven't experienced it firsthand can't truly comprehend.
Because of the car accident years ago, she had been blind for several years.
During those years, to avoid disgracing her brother and to prevent others from looking down on her, she studied ten times harder than ordinary people.
Later, when her eyes recovered, her brother had an accident. Melody brought her to a brand new environment and arranged for her to attend the top-tier South City University.
To avoid disgracing Melody, she again studied with all her might, and it was the same after she started working.
She had always been considerate of everyone's feelings, not wanting to be anyone's shame. She had always felt she had done a very successful job.
But at this moment, all her previous efforts were in vain.
Having lost all face and suffered a complete defeat was the best description of her situation.
She didn't know how to walk out of this office.
The entire group, tens of thousands of people, now knew her most unbearable side. How could she live facing their gazes?
Zhan Bei Jue and Hu Jia Sheng must have known too. How could she face them?
She almost bit her lip until it bled. Her insides felt as if they were being torn apart, yet her eyes couldn't stop themselves from continuing to read the comments.
"Crack!" With a sound, Jiang Jing Yu turned the computer screen towards himself.
He frowned, his fingers flying across the keyboard. In less than a minute, he destroyed the OA software.
Then, he threw the keyboard onto the ground in a fit of rage.
"Xu Lei, Wang Chang Jun, Li Sheng Li! These three bastards, I won't let them off!"
Reason told Lu Jia Ying that she should call the police. Resolving things with force privately was a very bad way to handle matters, but she truly couldn't speak.
Her limbs were immobile as she watched the furious Jiang Jing Yu smash the keyboard, rush out of the office, and leave the marketing department amidst everyone's gasps.
He rushed to the human resources department.
In fact, Jiang Jing Yu didn't need to be so impulsive about this matter.
Due to the way his phone was placed, he had always been facing away from the camera.
None of the five photos intercepted by Xu Lei captured his full face.
Everyone could guess freely. Lu Jia Ying was with anyone. As long as he didn't admit it, no one could confirm it was him.
However, others didn't know, but Jiang Jing Yu knew in his heart.
He wouldn't allow others to speak about Lu Jia Ying that way, wouldn't allow others to treat her that way, and even less would he allow Xu Lei and the other two to get away with it.
He knew that such impulsiveness would lead to unpleasant consequences, but he just couldn't help himself.
Everyone in the human resources department had seen the email and was gossiping privately when a tall figure rushed in.
Everyone looked up from behind their computers. They saw Jiang Jing Yu, moving with great speed, his face ashen, rushing like a gust of wind to Xu Lei's office door.
The assistant hurriedly tried to stop him, "Special Assistant Jiang, what are you doing? You can't just enter. You know the rules..."
Before she could finish, Jiang Jing Yu flicked his arm, pushing her back into her chair.
"Get out of the way!"
"Xu Lei, open the door, come out!"
Xu Lei chose to release the photos today for a reason.
Jiang Jing Yu had set a trap that ruined the relationship between her and her husband, forcing her to leave with nothing. She wanted revenge.
Lu Jia Ying was also someone she couldn't stand, but Lu Jia Ying had backing in the company, making it difficult to confront her directly.
By stirring up trouble when she wasn't around, she aimed to first damage Lu Jia Ying's image in everyone's eyes and in Mr. Hu's heart. Even if Lu Jia Ying had immense capabilities, she would be powerless to turn things around upon her return.
The facts proved that her approach was very correct.
It stirred up a thousand ripples. Everyone loved to gossip. Look, how beautifully things had been handled.
Although she risked being discovered, she wasn't afraid.
The revenge she wanted to exact had been exacted. Lu Jia Ying was already disgraced. She had nothing else to lose and didn't care about this broken job.
Moreover, in her eyes, Jiang Jing Yu was just an intern who had recently joined the company, a pretty boy living off women, someone not to be feared at all.
As the saying goes, when disaster strikes, everyone flees for themselves. Faced with such a situation, and finding that his face wasn't captured, perhaps his first reaction would be to cower like a turtle.
She hadn't expected him to dare to come looking for her.
What if he did? He was a man. In broad daylight, would he dare to lay hands on a woman?
Jiang Jing Yu kicked the door repeatedly from outside. Xu Lei slowly opened the door, her delicate eyebrows raised.
"What are you doing? This is during work hours. Are you drunk and acting out? Have you no manners?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Jing Yu, as if truly drunk, grabbed her by the neck with one hand and pushed her rapidly backward. With a "bang," she hit the wall.
All the girls in the human resources department were terrified by this swift and frightening action, collectively letting out screams.
"Ah!"
Xu Lei was also instantly scared pale, struggling to grab his hand, "Jiang Jing Yu, are you crazy? What are you doing?"
"You ask what I'm doing? I'm going to strangle you. Xu Lei, are you a venomous snake?"
The force of his hand was immense, veins bulging, his eyes glaring, speaking through gritted teeth. Xu Lei's face turned red from his grip, her eyes rolling upwards, looking as if she might die at any moment.
No one had ever seen such a scene before. They were terrified. Some ran out to call for help, while others tried to persuade him.
"Special Assistant Jiang, let go quickly. Director Xu is not doing well."
"Let's talk it out properly. Calm down. What's going on?"
"Don't be so impulsive, you're very scary, Special Assistant Jiang. Let go quickly, something bad will really happen."
Jiang Jing Yu was burning with rage. Not only did he ignore them, but he tightened his grip on Xu Lei's neck.
"When was it taken? Who ordered it? Who saw the video? Where is the original footage? Answer me!"
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Xu Lei desperately tried to pry his fingers off, unable to speak.
As Jiang Jing Yu applied more force, the people around could even hear the creaking sound from her neck. Xu Lei's face turned a liverish color.
"Special Assistant Jiang! What's wrong with you? Can't you talk it out properly? If you keep strangling her, someone will die! Let go, Special Assistant Jiang!"
Jiang Jing Yu was annoyed by their chatter, "Get out! It's none of your business. All of you, get out! If you babble any more, I'll strangle you all too!"
"Xu Lei, you have three seconds. If you want to live, blink your eyes. If you don't, I'll send you to heaven immediately. Will you speak or not!"
As he spoke, he choked her so hard her toes left the ground.
Xu Lei looked at him in pain, then at the girls behind her, feeling that she couldn't last three seconds. Perhaps she would have to confess in front of everyone, to her utter humiliation.
Just then, there was a commotion in the crowd behind them.
Hu Jia Sheng, tall and long-legged, with a stern expression, entered with a group of uniformed police officers and several company executives.
"Jing Yu, what are you doing? Let go!"
Jiang Jing Yu turned to look and saw Vice President Wang and Vice President Li also in the crowd. His anger immediately shifted to them.
