Ziya stared in shock as the plump nurse's fist slammed into the aunt's face. The sudden action left both her and Sun Meng momentarily stunned, unable to intervene before the nurse withdrew her fist. The aunt winced in pain, blood dripping from her nose onto the floor, and a red mark quickly appeared on her face. Tears filled her eyes, cascading down like a raging river.
"You... you're nothing but a shrew... Is your aunt hurt?" Ziya shouted at the plump nurse, rushing to check the aunt's face, which seemed to be swelling. At that moment, Sun Meng genuinely wanted to confront the fierce nurse. With a furious determination, she charged at the nurse who was trying to leave.
"How dare you act like a human being! You think you can just hit someone and walk away?" Sun Meng grabbed the nurse's hair tightly and pulled hard. In an instant, she swung a punch at the nurse's fleshy body, but it was like hitting a pillow; the nurse's fat absorbed the blow and sent Sun Meng's hand bouncing back. The plump nurse turned back with a disdainful look at her attacker, pouting and extending her short, stubby fingers, raising one to make an obscene gesture typically associated with boys.
Seeing this made Sun Meng feel nauseous as if she had swallowed a dead fly. Just as she was about to launch another attack, several people approached and pulled her back while loudly scolding, "What are you doing? Is this a marketplace for fighting? What kind of behavior is this?" Ziya helped the aunt to the side and was about to assist Sun Meng when she suddenly spotted Liu and Yuan Ye striding over. It was Liu who spoke first.
"Liu... sob... they are bullying me."
Before Ziya or the aunt could say anything, the plump nurse snapped back, "Who is bullying you?" Liu's expression darkened as her sharp gaze swept over Cleaner Aunt, Sun Meng, and Ziya.
"Her, her, and her," the nurse pointed at Ziya and her friends.
"No! She's lying..." Ziya quickly defended herself.
"I didn't ask you; you'd better keep quiet," Liu said coldly to Ziya. Internally, she thought: This little fatty is Zhang, the Chief Editor's sister-in-law. Although he has passed away, as the saying goes, a dead camel is bigger than a horse. Even in death, his influence remains; I owe him my rise in this position. This is the perfect opportunity to repay that debt—who would dare offend her?
Yuan Ye watched coldly as Liu handled the situation. He patted Ziya on the shoulder to signal her to stay calm.
"Did anyone see what happened? Can you tell me?" Liu asked the crowd in a straightforward manner. Everyone knew about the nurse's powerful connections; no one dared to provoke her. They all chimed in unison, blaming Cleaner Aunt for starting it first. As soon as those words were spoken, smiles of victory spread across Liu and the nurse's faces. Seeing their smug expressions made Ziya, Sun Meng, and Cleaner Aunt feel like they were about to spit blood.
"Who will uphold justice here? Is this News Agency going to let you..." Ziya suddenly exclaimed but was interrupted by Yuan Ye.
"Alright then, Little Fatty Liu, you come to my office later. As for you, Ziya and your friend, please wait in the conference room for a bit. Auntie, why don't you take a rest while we discuss something?" Yuan Ye said seriously.
In the office, Yuan Ye sat in his swivel chair, furrowing his brow as he quietly listened to the chubby nurse's endless complaints. After she finished, he turned his gaze to Liu and said, "How do you think we should handle this situation?"
"I think we should fire Cleaner and ensure Ziya is never hired again," Liu suggested confidently, assuming Yuan Ye was trying to protect the chubby nurse. She spoke without considering that Yuan Ye was her superior. His expression darkened, and he placed his teacup heavily on the desk, struggling to control his emotions and deliberately masking his anger. He cleared his throat.
"Alright, Fat Sister, you can step out for now."
"Uh..." The chubby nurse had intended to escalate the situation but was caught off guard by being dismissed. She shot a disgruntled glance at Liu, who nodded for her to leave. Once the office door closed, Yuan Ye returned to his chair.
"With Zhang, the Chief Editor, in trouble, it seems we need to make some significant adjustments in personnel..." Yuan Ye took a sip of tea, leaving the latter part of his statement unspoken, allowing Liu some space to think. His unfinished thought hung in the air like bait on a fishing line... As the silence stretched on for a few seconds.
"What does Yuan mean...?" Liu asked cautiously.
"Go on..." Yuan Ye interlocked his fingers and fixed a penetrating gaze on her.
"Are we talking about a broad overhaul or just a few minor adjustments?"
"What do you think?"
………………
In the conference room, Sun Meng paced back and forth, unable to grasp the meaning behind Yuan's current arrangements. Having interacted with Yuan before, she knew he was a wise superior. Watching her friend fidgeting anxiously, she chuckled softly and said, "Come on! Why are you pacing? It's fine; worst case scenario, we just pack up and leave."
"We can leave without a care, but what about the others? Look at her; she seems like she's just here working hard. Honestly, these people have no humanity at all; it's clear that the shrew is bullying us while pretending to be innocent."
"There are even more infuriating things you don't know about. The cleaners here are all handed over by the Property Management to the News Agency, without giving the workers a single cent in safety guarantees. The two sides' managers just push the responsibility back and forth, and when something happens, the cleaners have no choice but to swallow their grievances. Whenever a major incident occurs, the managers settle privately, offering a few thousand to buy off a life," Ziya informed Sun Meng about the recent situation, leaving her speechless for quite a while.
"Wow! What era is this? How can there still be such bosses? Don't these cleaners have any objections?"
"I don't know. From what I understand, that's how it is. That Duan Xiuying hasn't shown up for work yet, and it seems Liu's family didn't react much to his death," Ziya said, her brows slightly furrowed. She wondered if Anqing had seen the news; it seemed like he hadn't called her inquiring about work lately.
"Maybe it's the troublemakers below who are behind this. Look at how that person protects the fat guy; do we even need to save her?" Sun Meng replied irritably. Just as they were discussing this, footsteps echoed from the conference room door, and soon after, Cleaner team leader Li Mingxiang and the same aunt from before appeared at the entrance.
