Chapter 52: Workplace Sexual Harassment

The next morning, Zhou Mushi woke up first.

He climbed down from Jin Yang’s body, acting as if nothing is wrong, brushed his teeth, washed his face, had breakfast, and went to work.

Jin Yang felt that the person must have gotten drunk and had a wild night last night, but he didn’t pay much attention to it. He cleaned himself up and went to work at the company.

Jin Yang had been working at Yucheng Group for more than three years. Although his performance had always been outstanding, and his colleagues admired his abilities, they had never seen him being fought over like a hot potato before.

At first, Linda, the person in charge of Hehui Group, came with her team to discuss a very important cooperation in the industry.

In theory, this project was not under the responsibility of Director Jin, but for some reason, the CEO of the other company specifically named Jin Yang, the Director of Yucheng Group, to discuss this project. If possible, they also hoped that Director Jin would take full responsibility for the project if a cooperation agreement could be reached.

The President who was originally considered to handle this project in the company had some objections. However, to be fair, everyone knew that this project was not easy to negotiate, and now many companies outside were eyeing it.

Hehui Group had also negotiated with larger companies than Yucheng Group, and they did not have much confidence in being able to successfully negotiate this matter.

Although the people on the Hehui Group’s side have given Jin Yang some face, if he is unable to negotiate successfully, it won’t be a good sight. Out of consideration for the company’s interests, he took the initiative to go to the chairman and expressed that he would not make a big deal out of it.

After all, it was meaningless to do so since the company would not sacrifice the current opportunity just to save face for one person. He took the initiative to speak up now, which could earn him a reputation for being friendly and cooperative.

In the high-level reception room here, representatives from both companies were engaged in lively discussions.

The business collaboration with Zhou Group over there still required some follow-up work. Originally, it was supposed to be handled by Zhou Group’s middle-level management, but to everyone’s surprise, the president from the other side decided to come to Yucheng himself over some minor issues worth only one or two million yuan.

Even if there wasn’t much money left in the deal, Yucheng couldn’t just send a junior staff member to deal with Zhou Group’s president who came all the way here.

This was not just a matter of this specific business deal, but also related to the future cooperative attitude between Yucheng Group and Zhou Group.

The President of Yucheng Group put down his work and came in person to have a meeting with Zhou Mushi.

Zhou Mushi replied, “I know the president has a lot on his plate. Our two companies are old friends, and there’s no need for such formalities. Originally, this project wasn’t a big deal, and I was going to let the people below handle it. However, I’ve been back in China for only a short time, and I value our reputation in the domestic market in the first year. That’s why I came here myself. You can focus on your own work. Let’s have the director in charge of this cooperation, Director Jin, come and discuss this small matter.”

The President of Yucheng Group, Mr.Chen, felt a little awkward. Although Zhou Mushi’s words sounded nice, it was obvious to everyone that he came here specifically for Jin Yang.

Well, Jin Yang had been diligent and hardworking in the company for these years, and there seemed to be no signs of rebellion. But now all these big bosses were heading in his direction.

In the future, if that kid Jin Yang has any ideas about leaving and jumping ship, won’t all the company’s major clients have to follow him?

This person must be watched carefully!

Mr.Chen, the President of Yucheng Group, smiled and poured tea for Zhou Mushi, “Oh, what a coincidence. The Hehui Group is currently in talks with our company for cooperation, and Director Jin is in charge of the matter. So he may not be available for a while.”

Zhou Mushi also smiled and said, “This cooperation with the Hehui Group is not small. To be honest with you, I think your company has an advantage in this cooperation. Moreover, with the support of Director Jin, I believe your side is almost certain to succeed and get paid.”

Mr.Chen took a sip of tea and humbly said, “Not at all, not at all. Your company is stronger in terms of strength!”

As they exchanged flattering words, the secretary knocked on the door and entered, saying, “Mr. Chen, the meeting with Director Jin has already ended.”

Zhou Mushi stood up and said, “Then I’ll go first, you can keep busy, Mr. Chen.”

Linda came out of the meeting room and ran into Zhou Mushi who was walking towards her.

He was wearing a black suit today and looked slightly different from the last time they meet. He seemed to be emitting a slightly dazzling aura, as if he had paid special attention to his appearance. But you couldn’t quite put your finger on where he had put in the effort.

It made people feel impressed, and yet you couldn’t tell what he had done to achieve it, and that was the highest level.

Linda hadn’t expected to run into him here, but considering that Zhou Group and Yucheng Group had some cooperation, it was normal. So she put on a professional smile and nodded to Zhou Mushi.

There was a moment when Jin Yang almost lost control of his expression.

He didn’t know if he was overthinking things or if it was real, but he could see a hint of cunning in Zhou Mushi’s eyes.

Zhou Mushi smiled at Linda and turned to Jin Yang, “I’d like to talk to Director Jin about our last cooperation.”

Linda is a very sensible person and immediately said, “Then I won’t disturb you anymore. Director Jin, please stay.”

In terms of importance, Jin Yang should have escorted her to the company’s doorstep, but now that Zhou Mushi has intervened, he cannot leave the President of Zhou’s Group behind. He had to let his colleagues send Linda out and welcomed Zhou Mushi into the conference room.

As soon as the door to the conference room was closed, the person who had just been serious about discussing business burst out laughing. He sat on the swivel chair and spun around, saying, “What did I say? You’re sure to get the cooperation of Hehui Group.”

Jin Yang narrowed his eyes and took a cup of hot water from the water dispenser beside him and placed it in front of Zhou Mushi.

“Your company’s cooperation has already reached 90%, and both sides are keeping an eye on the remaining 10%. Is there something that President Zhou is not confident about and needs to come here in person today?”

Zhou Mushi spread his hands and said, “Director Jin is capable and reliable, so of course I am confident. But out of habit, I don’t like to leave loose ends. That’s why I want to personally inspect the final materials.”

Jin Yang couldn’t even force a smile, he just raised his facial muscles slightly, even though his lips were lifted, there was no trace of a smile.

“If there’s anything that Mr. Zhou is not satisfied with during the inspection, we, Yucheng can make changes at any time,” he said.

Zhou Mushi gently caressed the edge of the desk, propping up his cheek with his hand and sweetly smiling at him, “Wouldn’t Director Jin like to go to the construction site together and take a look?”

Although Zhou Mushi did not touch or say anything inappropriate, nor made any excessive demands, everything seemed like a normal work process, but it gave people a feeling of workplace harassment!
