Lin Xia stood up, looking directly into Wang Lan's eyes.
"Vice President Wang, what we pursue is efficiency, not exploitation."
"Only happy employees can create the greatest value."
"Stop with the grandstanding!" Wang Lan suddenly raised her voice.
"Who do you think you are? Just a dispensable worker!"
Lin Xia calmly watched the furious Wang Lan, while her mind was calculating something. She knew it wasn't the right time to confront her.
"Vice President Wang, you're right."
"I will reflect on this carefully."
Lin Xia lowered her head, putting on an act of contrition.
Wang Lan snorted coldly and turned to leave the office.
The sound of her footsteps faded away completely.
Only then did Lin Xia lift her head, a glimmer of light flashing in her eyes.
She reopened the program from earlier, her fingers flying over the keyboard.
On the screen, complex algorithms were running one after another.
"I need to leave myself an escape route!"
Lin Xia spoke softly.
"The game has just begun."
Outside the window, the night deepened.
Lin Xia's figure was illuminated by the glow of the screen.
At that moment, Wang Lan was sitting in his luxurious office, feeling quite pleased with himself, completely unaware that a storm was about to unfold.
Late at night, one anonymous social media account after another was automatically created. Articles generated by AI were published across various platforms.
"Shocking! A certain well-known tech company's vice president abuses power and implements tyrannical policies!"
"006 work schedule, limited bathroom breaks—does this company treat its employees like slaves?"
"Exclusive revelation: Inside secrets of Xinghuo Technology Company!"
The posts were like stones thrown into water, creating ripples upon ripples.
Lin Xia stared at the screen with indifference.
For her, this was a gamble.
If she won, she would seek justice for her team.
If she lost, it would merely mean being fired.
Suddenly, her phone chimed with a notification.
"Ding dong."
Lin Xia glanced over.
The pupils glimmered with a hint of amusement.
On the trending list, Xinghuo Technology and Unfair Terms had suddenly surged to the top.
The comments section was ablaze.
"This company is heartless! It's practically modern slavery!"
"If I were an employee at Xinghuo, I'd be the first to resign!"
"Timing bathroom breaks? Are they treating people like machines?"
Lin Xia couldn't help but smile slightly.
The storm had arrived.
Morning.
Lin Xia walked into the company building.
In the elevator, her colleagues' gazes turned toward her.
Admiration.
Worry.
Anticipation.
"Supervisor Lin, have you seen the news online?"
Xiao Zhang leaned in quietly, asking in a low voice.
Lin Xia nodded.
"I have."
"Do you think...?"
The sound of high heels approached rapidly from afar.
Urgent.
Wang Lan stormed into the elevator, her face ashen.
Her gaze sliced through everyone like a knife.
Finally, it landed on Lin Xia.
"Supervisor Lin, my office, now!"
Wang Lan gritted her teeth.
Lin Xia calmly followed Wang Lan into the office.
"Do you know what those posts online are about?"
Wang Lan fired the question at her. Lin Xia remained unfazed.
"Vice President Wang, I just saw them myself."
"Hmph, don't think I don't know who did this!"
Wang Lan sneered.
"I warn you, don't play with fire!"
Lin Xia met Wang Lan's gaze directly.
"Vice President Wang, rather than suspecting employees, why not think about how to quell this storm?"
Wang Lan narrowed her eyes.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that public opinion has already fermented."
Lin Xia spoke with composure.
"If the company doesn't respond in a timely manner, it might affect future financing."
