Ji Feng asked Xue Rui: So are you still letting me down?

Xue Rui immediately said: “I’m worried that Sister Mi Yu wouldn’t be able to hold on behind, and even if she couldn’t hold on, I might not be able to hold on if I go in. It’s better for you to come!”

Ji Feng looked at Xue Rui with lowered eyes. Xue Rui was almost frightened by the look. Only then did Ji Feng slowly gave him a sidelong glance in response.

Afterwards, he turned his gaze to the interior of the office, observing the development of the situation.

The three people in the room seemed to be waiting for something.

The people hiding by the door observing the drama also kept turning back to look down the corridor from time to time, whispering to each other: “Why haven’t they been sent over yet?”

When someone turned back, they caught sight of Ji Feng, and couldn’t help but brighten up in excitement, turning back to whisper to their companions: “Look, the handsome man!”

Their companion then also pretended to look down the corridor to see if anyone was coming, and stole a glance at Ji Feng before turning back to whisper with their companion too: “Wow, he’s so handsome! I didn’t expect such a handsome man would also like watching drama!”

……

Ji Feng listened to these whispers, and his impatience grew by the moment, with sarcasm creeping up at the corner of his mouth. He frowned slightly and turned to ask Xue Rui: “What are they all waiting for here?”

Xue Rui immediately explained the situation to Ji Feng in a low voice.

“The big-bellied woman inside said Sister Mi Yu disregarded that she was pregnant, pushed her and made her fall and hit her head, and is very evil and toxic. She wants Manager Feng to fire Sister Mi Yu. Sister Mi Yu defended herself by saying she didn’t push, it was that woman, I think her name is Zhen Zhen, who fell on her own and framed her. Then Zhen Zhen said Sister Mi Yu was slandering viciously, how could she endanger the baby in her belly like that, and even asked the people watching the drama at the door whether this makes sense to them, receiving many sympathetic votes. Manager Feng also said it does make sense, why would Sister Mi Yu malign a mother like this…”

Xue Rui told Ji Feng: “Therefore, everyone is now waiting for the surveillance video from Camera 3 at the end of the corridor to be sent over.”

After waiting a while longer, someone finally delivered the USB drive containing the surveillance video.

Manager Feng Ke Xin’s office was impressive not just in space, but equipment – it was a large all-in-one machine. He turned the computer screen around to face Lu Zhenzhen and Xu Mi Yu, who were sitting and standing respectively outside the desk, and plugged in the USB drive to search for video files and prepare to play it.

From this angle, the people observing at the office door could also see the computer screen clearly.

After finding the video file, Manager Feng Ke Xin gave Xu Mi Yu one last warning before playing it: “Xu Mi Yu, think carefully, it’s not too late to apologize to Madam Nie now, but if you insist on being stubborn and ungrateful, once I click this mouse, your dirty deeds of taking advantage of a pregnant woman in the corridor just now will be openly exposed. You can see there are people outside the door now, by then it will be a public execution for you.”

Lu Zhenzhen caught her belly beside her, putting on an air of injured victim, shaking her head and saying: “It’s too late for her to apologize now, I don’t mind what she said to me before, but now she’s harming the baby in my belly, I cannot forgive her!”

She said so plaintively and hurtfully, truly arousing people’s sense of righteousness and sympathy.

Even Xue Rui couldn’t help but ask confusedly: “Boss, you don’t think Sister Mi Yu really made a mistake and pushed her, do you? After all, in Sister Mi Yu’s eyes, this woman destroyed her former family as a third party, and now she deliberately comes with a belly to show off, it’s easy to lose one’s temper for a moment and do something reckless…”

He hadn’t finished when the back of his head was slapped.

“How patiently she endured when she was collectively ostracized by her subordinates? For a person who never gives anyone face like me, how patiently did she respond? If you think about it with your brain, you’ll also know she wouldn’t push a pregnant woman.”

Xue Rui was stunned. One was this was the first time Ji Feng had laid hands on him, previously no matter how much he disagreed with his words, he would just give a cold sideways glance in disdain. This time he actually hit him.

Two, at that moment, it could be said to be the moment when Ji Feng was most self-aware in his life! He finally realized what a difficult person he was!

Xu Mi Yu spoke up calmly in the office.

“Manager, please play the video.”

Manager Feng Ke Xin bared his teeth in a you-asked-for-it manner, not resisting the impulse to expose her. He then clicked on the video to play.

Lu Zhenzhen raised her chin slightly, her facial expression that of a victim awaiting justice.

As soon as the video started playing, Ji Feng realized one thing –

The scene shown in the video was not the corridor view, but from the diagonal opposite of the incident site, with an extremely clear picture and sound-collecting function, which looked like a newer type of surveillance product.

Even before Lu Zhenzhen saw the playing footage, she widened her eyes and stood up from her chair abruptly, pointing at the computer screen and said: “This is not the surveillance from the end of the corridor. Where is this surveillance from? Stop playing!” She said while about to rush over to pull out the USB flash drive.

Xu Mi Yu shifted slightly to stand in front of her but without touching her.

“Why does it have to be the surveillance from the end of the corridor? Besides that location being far away from where we stood, it also has no sound collection function and is easy to film unclearly just by camera misalignment. Whereas this camera,” Xu Mi Yu pointed to the computer screen, “this is the newly installed hidden surveillance after the resignation of the former chief. It was installed to prevent anyone from privately replacing the hotel’s consumables like the former chief. Not only can this camera film us clearly, it can also record our conversation.”

Xu Mi Yu blocked Lu Zhenzhen, continuing to speak as the video played on.

The video clearly replayed how Lu Zhenzhen provoked and insulted the entire industry, evaluating service staff as lowly, in her own words originally spoken.

Those outside who originally believed Xu Mi Yu pushed someone, their emotional scales instantly tilted towards Xu Mi Yu upon seeing Lu Zhenzhen’s words and actions in the video.

Listening further to Xu Mi Yu’s reasonable and moderate responses to Lu Zhenzhen in the video, they suddenly felt relieved.

It then came to the crucial highlight part. Everyone clearly saw how Lu Zhenzhen deliberately held onto Xu Mi Yu’s hand when she meant to help her up, and refused to let go, screaming affectingly as she pretended to fall herself.

The onlookers all let out disdainful whispers.

Lu Zhenzhen’s face alternated between blood red and ghastly pale. She originally wanted everyone to publicly try Xu Mi Yu, so deliberately kept the door open and allowed the outside people to watch. But who would have thought, in the end she herself became the one tried by everyone.

Her trickery backfired with this turn of events, and she was almost angered to madness.

Ji Feng and Xue Rui watched the scene just unfolding in the office.

Xue Rui turned his head and couldn’t help asking Ji Feng: “Boss, you look, these service staff not long ago were still despising and ostracizing Sister Mi Yu, but now they each stand out one by one to speak up for her against the manager’s authority, giving her patronage. How did Sister Mi Yu manage to let so many people stand with her in this crucial moment?”

He sighed and continued: “Sister Mi Yu is really capable. Through her quiet and unassuming ways, she stealthily crept into people’s hearts. This must be the charm of one’s character, able to have so many stand with her in times of need.”

Ji Feng listened beside him without speaking, but raised an eyebrow.

Inside the office, Lu Zhenzhen was still emotionally distressed, demanding Manager Feng Ke Xin to thoroughly drive away all the onlookers outside, while guiding him to give her justice before firing Xu Mi Yu. She also pointed her finger one by one from left to right at the service staff of the management level, demanding that anyone who had once oppressed guests with Xu Mi Yu should receive punishment accordingly.

The room immediately turned turbulent with Lu Zhenzhen stirring everything up single-handedly.

At this time, another person squeezed past Ji Feng’s shoulder and strode briskly into the office.

Initially Ji Feng didn’t have any special reaction, but when this person walked in and Lu Zhenzhen tearfully called out “Husband” to him, Ji Feng frowned.

Then he raised his hand to pat the shoulder that was just brushed past, as if brushing off some dirt.

Xue Rui beside him watched quietly: “…”

He knew Ji Feng most detested messy relations between men and women.

Nie Yu Cheng finished work and hurried back to the hotel, but didn’t see Lu Zhenzhen’s figure in the room.

When he called to ask a room service staff if they knew where the guest of this room went, the phone was unanswered for a long time.

He then walked out of the room himself to look for someone, but didn’t see a staff until far away from the room. He asked why there were so few staff today, and also asked this remaining staff if they saw his wife.

The staff’s expression revealed a sense of disguised sarcasm, telling him: “The other staff all went to see the manager for petitioning, because the manager wants to fire our chief. As for your wife, she’s right now in the manager’s office, because she’s the one disturbing the manager to fire our chief as soon as possible.”

Upon hearing this, he immediately rushed to Manager Feng Ke Xin’s office. Reaching outside the office, he confirmed what the downstairs staff said was mostly accurate – indeed Lu Zhenzhen was putting on a scene inside.

He stormed in and grabbed Lu Zhenzhen’s arm, ignoring her pretending to be tearfully pitiable, and reproached her in a low voice: “Lu Zhenzhen, do you think you’ve shamed yourself enough? When will you stop this?”

After saying this, he turned to Manager Feng Ke Xin: “Manager, sorry to trouble you while my wife is pregnant and her emotions are unstable, please don’t take her words to heart or do anything to others, I beg you.”

After speaking to Manager Feng Ke Xin, he finally couldn’t bear it and looked at Xu Mi Yu.

He gazed at her deeply with painful and regretful eyes, and hoarsely said: “I’m sorry.” He paused, and continued, “Wait for me here, I’ll send her back to the room first and be right back.”

Xu Mi Yu immediately replied: “There’s no need.”

But Nie Yu Cheng seemed to not hear, regardless of Lu Zhenzhen’s struggling and jealousy, he firmly grasped her wrist and took her away.

After he left, everyone felt that with Nie Yu Cheng’s words, Manager Feng Ke Xin should no longer insist on firing Xu Mi Yu and punishing others.

But Manager Feng Ke Xin spoke up to shatter everyone’s thoughts: “Xu Mi Yu, you’ve made this place so murky, no matter what anyone says today, I must fire you as I promised!”

He said angrily while striding swiftly to the door, yelling at random outside: “Get out, all get out! Don’t you want to work anymore?!” And slammed the door forcefully, though due to using too much force when closing it, the door rebounded open.

But Manager Feng Ke Xin had his back to the door and didn’t notice.

Thus the people outside observing continued watching for a while before leaving, as discussed amongst themselves earlier.

Inside the room, Xu Mi Yu asked Manager Feng Ke Xin: “But Manager, firing someone requires reason. Please give me a reasonable reason, otherwise I will apply for labor arbitration at the arbitration committee. What wrong have I done?”

Manager Feng Ke Xin gave a resentful “humph” and began reprimanding Xu Mi Yu while pointing at her nose: “You think you’re quite capable now, huh? Don’t think that with your clean and innocent act, I don’t know what you’ve been doing behind the scenes! I’m asking you, did you or did you not send an email to the chairman to report me? You still dare to claim brazenly that it’s for the hotel’s development and hope the chairman can consider firing me – what do you think you’re doing?!”
