"How should I address you?" He thought back to when Lin Fengxuan had once accompanied her to the police station to take his report at night. In his memories, he thought that Si Yu still felt very close to the police.
"Chen Bin, his name is Chi City." After the police officer named Chen Bin introduced him, he introduced a companion beside him.
"Zuo Siyu, just call me Si Yu." Si Yu politely said his name and told Linda to bring two cups of coffee over.
"Director Zuo, we would like to know the details of the situation." The policeman opened his notebook and began to record.
Si Yu glanced at Linda, and Linda took a step forward and said politely: "Officer Chen, on the fourteenth of this month, the deceased and the company's resting room suddenly died. Originally, the company had to compensate you according to the terms of the contract, but the families of the deceased had to request for a compensation of their own, saying that the company squeezed their employees and arranged for a large amount of work. However, our company came in accordance with the terms of the work contract completely, and if we do not accept the unreasonable request, the families of the deceased would gather around the entrance of the company." Linda finished speaking in a single breath, she did not even have a single breath to catch in the middle, and her tone was calm, causing others to feel very comfortable listening to him.
The policeman nodded and said, "Alright, then let's see what the families of the dead say." She turned to the family of the deceased, indicating that he had spoken.
The leader, a shabby-faced family member, said, "Police comrade, you're not like that. My mother died of exhaustion due to her company. Every time we return home, she is very tired."
"Impossible, the company has a lot of cleanliness. Everyone can easily be assigned a task." Si Yu immediately retorted.
Chen Bin raised his hand, signalling for the families of the deceased to continue speaking. Seeing that he had someone backing him up, that shifty fellow was no longer afraid of anything and braved his own audacity to speak recklessly.
"You don't know? Ever since my mother came to this company, her whole body was filled with diseases such as cervical spondylosis due to periarthritis of the shoulder." The bereaved family pushed all the causes of the illness to the company.
The entire Zuoqi knew that the employee benefits of the company's cleaning service were extremely good, and everyone often complained that they were not even as good as a cleaning service. The reason was that Si Yu saw that the cleaning service was usually conducted by middle-aged women of relatively low education and poor family conditions, so Si Yu mentioned the benefits of the cleaning service to be the best.
Chen Bin had been a police officer for many years, and he had seen what kind of people they were, what kind of people they said and what they said were all true. Naturally, Chen Bin had a gauge in his heart.
"According to what I know, these illnesses should take a long time to stay, so how long has your mother been working in the Zuoqi?" Chen Bin asked tactfully.
The family of the deceased were stunned by the police's questions, and they casually gave a rough estimate of the time.
"Comrade Police, Wang Mei only worked at our company for nine months and it's already been thirteen days." Linda said. Si Yu was just sitting there quietly with his phone in his hand, when suddenly, his phone sent him some news, which was also boring. Si Yu casually opened it and looked, and upon seeing Si Yu Le, he was immediately stunned, only to see that the big news headline was: "Famous architectural firm Zuoqi, pressuring employees to death."
This was a serious matter, and it was no longer as simple as police regulation.
"Officer Chen, sorry to interrupt." After getting Officer Chen's permission, Si Yu put his phone down on the tea table in front of the deceased's family. He crossed his right leg over his left leg and placed his hands together on his knees, then looked at the deceased's family members and solemnly said, "Regarding these news events, there's no need to think about it, it was you who got people to spread it. This has already severely affected Zuoqi's reputation, and originally, he had wanted to personally mediate it, but now, there's no need for it.
After saying that, Si Yu politely turned to Chen Bin and said, "Sorry for the trouble today, it just so happens that it's time to eat. If Officer Chen does not mind, I can ask Linda to bring you to the company's dining hall for a meal to see if Zuoqi is pressuring the employees." This was also the reason why Zuoqi was on the verge of closing down, yet there were almost no employees who had left. All of them chose to go through thick and thin with Zuoqi, and since Si Yu had taken over, the welfare of the employees had increased.
The families of the deceased originally thought that they could use the pressure of public opinion to obtain more compensation, but they did not expect it to be self-defeating. It had to be known that these large enterprises attached great importance to their corporate image and could not be tarnished in the slightest.
"Director Zuo is too polite, we still have things to do, so we will be leaving first." Chen Bin nodded his head politely.
After the police left, the families of the deceased had no intentions of leaving. They looked at Si Yu and said, "I'm willing to settle the matter privately. The matter of compensation can be settled later."
"This family member, I think I can understand the pain of you losing your family members. However, everything has its rules and regulations. But right now, you have already severely damaged Zuoqi's reputation, so Zuoqi must take action to protect their rights and send them off. " Si Yu said in an aggressive manner. She never thought that she, who originally wouldn't even have spoken loudly, would have such a powerful aura.
Back at his office, Si Yu saw Chu Ran holding onto his own book and reading it again. That was the copy of < Floating Technique > that the Sister Nuannuan gave to him last time.
Seeing that Si Yu had returned, Chu Ran put down the book in his hands, "How is it?"
Although Chu Ran looked calm on the surface, he was actually very worried in his heart. When he saw Si Yu come over, he let out a breath of relief. Even though he knew that it was normal for Si Yu to encounter such things as the CEO of a corporation, he couldn't help but be worried and wanted to bear the burden for Si Yu.
"The families of the dead have already slandered Zuoqi on the internet. I choose the legal path, only by doing so can I uphold the reputation of Zuoqi." Si Yu walked to the sofa and sat down.
"Mn, I also think that this is a very good method. In the future, no one will dare to casually use the reputation of Zuoqi as a threat." Chu Ran said, and then opened the book in his hand. He did not really want to read, he just did not want to leave.
Seeing Chu Ran reading it seriously, Si Yu could not help but ask curiously, "Does senior like this book too?"
Chu Ran did like Si Yu, but he remembered seeing Si Yu reading this book in university, but he was very concerned about Si Yu's matter, so he remembered this book.
"Not bad, I quite like this female lead." Chu Ran casually said.
Chu Ran's very casual sentence made Si Yu think of many things, "I feel that the female protagonist is in many bad aspects. She's a willful, reckless, selfish, cold, and unscrupulous person. I don't really like her, but I do like the author, who can portray such a godly character in her works."
"But I don't understand it as you do. In my opinion, besides what you said, this female lead has many positive traits, such as her personality, courage, and fearlessness." However, in Chu Ran's opinion, it was precisely because of the female protagonist's personality that they were more closely related to life, and were more able to display the depths of their human nature. Humans were all selfish, and wouldn't care what methods they use to achieve their goals.
"A thousand people have a thousand good Mretes in their hearts. Thank you, senior, for today." Si Yu looked at the time, afraid that it would delay Chu Ran.
"Thank me, please treat me to a meal." Chu Ran said that, he was not hungry, and it was not that he wanted Si Yu to treat him to a meal, he just wanted to stay with Si Yu for a little longer. Even though he knew that he would still return to Xiao Yichen's embrace in the end, he still wanted to accompany her for every second.
Looking at the time, he told Xiao Yichen that he would be back later tonight. Originally, he wanted to eat with Xu Mo and the others, "No problem, what does senior want to eat?"
"I know a good French restaurant. How about a taste?" Chu Ran looked at Si Yu and said, completely putting away the love in his eyes.
This kind of scene suddenly reminded the two of them of the scene three years ago. At that time, Chu Ran always brought Si Yu along to look for various delicious dishes, but he only watched as Si Yu ate them. In Chu Ran's eyes, Si Yu was the first girl who could eat so well, even though she looked so pretty, her figure was still so nice.
Three years ago, the relationship between the two of them was a bit ambiguous. At that time, even Si Yu couldn't tell whether he had feelings for Chu Ran or whether he had the kind of reliance that older brother and sister only see. She would probably be jealous when she saw that Chu Ran was with other girls, and that would probably be like it.
"Senior, I'm sorry." Si Yu was eating when he suddenly looked at Chu Ran and said seriously.
Chu Ran looked at Si Yu with a doting smile, "What are you apologizing for, eating?" Now he was the same as he had been three years ago.
"I feel very guilty about the past." Si Yu said.
Chu Ran handed a tissue to Si Yu, and said with a smile while looking at Si Yu: "The past is already in the past, as long as you are happy now, it's fine." What happened before was already past for the two of them, but for Si Yu, it was also past. As for him, it was his own problem as well.
Si Yu nodded with all his might as he looked at Chu Ran and said seriously, "Senior, I wish you the best of luck in finding a good girl."
Chu Ran smiled indifferently. From start to finish, his eyes still carried the look of pampering towards Si Yu: "I will. Senior will definitely work hard. When the time comes, I'll let Senior have a look." Chu Ran humorously comforted Si Yu, saying that Si Yu was someone she could not hate the most when times had passed.
"Sure, I will." Now that she was happy, she also hoped that the person that she had hurt before would be happy too. She did not have any friends, and Chu Ran was the first person she met who was completely and utterly nice to her. Whether it was gratitude or friendship, she could not ignore the harm that she had done to him.
After dinner, Si Yu saw the entire city through the window of the dining hall. The first thing he saw was the headquarters of Xiao Yichen's company, and in his heart, no matter when, anything that happened to Xiao Yichen was unconsciously ranked first by Si Yu.
"I'll take you back to the company to get your car." When they came out to eat, Si Yu did not drive. As he was afraid that Xiao Yichen would misunderstand, Chu Ran did not plan to send Si Yu back.
Just as he returned, he saw Xiao Yichen angrily sitting on the sofa in the living room.
