As soon as Jin Mingzhu arrived at the door of the newspaper office, she heard Liu Jia's crying coming from the editor-in-chief's office. She endured the pain and quickened her pace to the office door.

He pushed open the door and shouted anxiously, "Liu Jia!"

Liu Jia was crying with tears in her eyes. She looked up and saw that it was Jin Mingzhu. She threw herself into Jin Mingzhu's arms, "Sister Mingzhu", and burst into tears.

Lu Liang was worried about this matter, and he was delighted to see Jin Mingzhu coming in: "Mingzhu, you came at the right time, come and talk to her."

Jin Mingzhu ignored the editor-in-chief, only helped Liu Jia sit down, and asked patiently:

"Xiao Liu, I'm here. Don't be afraid. Tell me what happened?"

Liu Jia cried so hard that she couldn't speak a complete sentence.

Seeing this, Lu Liang handed her a glass of water, and Jin Mingzhu then saw that there was another leader in the office.

Liu Jia drank some water, calmed down a little, and said:

"Sister Mingzhu, today I am going to interview Sino-Ocean Group as you told me. This is my first independent interview. I am a little nervous, but I am still well prepared."

"Xiao Liu, you did a great job!" Jin Mingzhu held her hand and encouraged her.

"After arriving at Sino-Ocean Group, according to procedure, Brother Zhao and I went in for the interview together. However, Vice President Tian of Sino-Ocean Group said that he would be so nervous in front of the camera that he would be speechless. He hoped that only I would go for the interview and we could take pictures later." Liu Jia choked up.

“Although I didn’t think it was appropriate, I went in with him anyway.”

"Everything was normal at first. We were conducting our interview work normally. Then Vice President Tian said he was hot and started taking off his clothes. Then he sat back and got very close to me."

"I felt uncomfortable and moved away from him. He was even more aggressive when he saw that I was scared..." Liu Jia cried out, and Jin Mingzhu hugged her. After what happened before, she understood the despair of being sexually harassed.

"What happened next?" She asked patiently when she saw Xiao Liu calm down.

Jin Mingzhu's determined look gave Xiao Liu the courage to continue. "Sister Mingzhu, he pulled me onto his lap and touched my breasts and buttocks with his dirty hands."

"This beast!" Jin Mingzhu cursed angrily.

"I was very scared afterwards, I struggled to break free and ran out of the office." Jin Mingzhu hugged Xiao Liu with heartache and held her trembling hand.

"It's not a big deal, just a misunderstanding." Another leader in the office interrupted. Jin Mingzhu remembered that his name was Li Ming.

"Then what is the big deal?" Jin Mingzhu looked at him and asked coldly.

"This kind of thing is normal, it's just that President Tian did some inappropriate things at the moment. Xiao Liu came out of President Tian's office crying, and it caused a bad influence. After such an incident, we have to apologize to President Tian." Li Ming blamed, secretly scolding Xiao Liu for being ignorant.

Jin Mingzhu was shocked when she heard this. How could there be such a shocking statement? She asked back:

"Mr. Li, what happened today is that Xiao Liu was sexually harassed. Why do you want Xiao Liu to apologize? Don't you think that's too much?"

Lu Liang looked at Jin Mingzhu and persuaded her: "Mingzhu, now that things have happened, we should think about how to solve the problem. Losing your temper here will not solve any problems."

Editor-in-Chief Lu's attitude was pretty good. Jin Mingzhu sat down and looked at Lu Liang.

"I have just discussed with Mr. Li. Xiao Zhao was wronged in today's incident, and we also need to give an explanation to Yuanyang. In this way, as long as Xiao Zhao is willing to apologize to Mr. Tian and cooperate with the company to deal with this matter, Xiao Zhao can be converted to a regular employee in advance."

Jin Mingzhu just wanted to laugh after hearing this. She thought Lu Liang would seek justice for Zhao Jia, but she didn't expect him to be so conciliatory. Why should the victim apologize to the perpetrator? There is no such reason in this world.

Jin Mingzhu looked at Zhao Jia and asked, "Is this what they were talking to you about when I came in just now?"

Zhao Jia nodded with tears in her eyes. Jin Mingzhu held her hand, looked at her, and spoke gently:

"Xiao Zhao, are you willing to accept this approach?" Zhao Jia shook her head and cried:

"Sister Mingzhu, I don't want to."

"Okay, then we'll call the police. Trust me, I will seek justice for you even if I don't want this job." Jin Mingzhu looked at Liu Jia and said firmly.

"Jin Mingzhu, don't be so impulsive!" Seeing that they were about to call the police, Lu Liang hurriedly spoke out to stop them.

Jin Mingzhu stopped and looked at Lu Liang, "Editor-in-Chief Lu, you have been helping me since I came here, and I am very grateful, but you really disappointed me with what happened today."

"Since we can't get justice from the company, we can only rely on ourselves."

The outside of the office was full of people. Jin Mingzhu pulled Liu Jia through the crowd. Liu Jia looked at Jin Mingzhu's hand that was tightly holding hers, and became more determined.

Jin Mingzhu took Liu Jia to the police station to report the case. It was almost eight o'clock when they finished taking the statements. The police had already filed a case, but they also honestly told them that it was difficult to obtain evidence in sexual harassment cases, and they would inform them of the follow-up results after the investigation was completed.

Jin Mingzhu comforted Liu Jia for a long time and asked her to go back and wait for news.

After seeing Liu Jia off, Jin Mingzhu looked at Chen Chuan who had been waiting for a long time.

"Assistant Chen, thank you." Jin Mingzhu was very grateful that Chen Chuan did not take her away directly from Liu Jia.

"Ms. Jin, Mr. Gu is waiting for you in the car."

"Okay." Jin Mingzhu was walking forward and found that her sprained foot was a little painful.

Chen Chuan saw that Jin Mingzhu was having difficulty walking, so he stepped forward to lend a hand. "Thank you, Assistant Chen."

Gu Huaijin received an emergency call from home while in a meeting. He then learned that Jin Mingzhu was sick and had escaped from the house.

I wanted to go home and wait for her, but I was afraid that she would not come home until midnight like last time. Shadow tracked her down and found that she had been in the police station for the whole afternoon. Gu Huaijin had been waiting for her here since he came out of the company.

Seeing her limping towards him holding Chen Chuan's hand, he became even angrier: Why doesn't she seek treatment for her injuries and still act like a good person here?

Jin Mingzhu got in the car and felt that she was sitting a little further away from Gu Huaijin.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Gu Huaijin looked forward and asked her in a cold tone.

Usually when Gu Huaijin is cold like this, it is the prelude to a storm. Jin Mingzhu changed her tone and said, "My little apprentice was bullied today. As her master, I am here to support her."

Pretending to be angry, he complained: "You don't know, that scumbag is so hateful."

"Hey, what are you doing?" Gu Huaijin didn't hear what she said at all. He held her feet and placed them on his legs.

After Gu Huaijin took off her shoes, Jin Mingzhu realized that her ankle was swollen. She didn't treat her ankle immediately after spraining it and she walked a long way, so it was no wonder that her ankle was so swollen.

"Mrs. Gu, you have become more capable. It seems that the gate of the Gu residence is not high enough and did not fall to death." Gu Huaijin said in a cold tone, his face gloomy.

Jin Mingzhu wanted to ease the atmosphere and joked, "I won't die from the fall. I won't die from the fall. I used to be a member of a climbing club."

"Ah! It hurts!" Gu Huaijin rubbed his hands to warm them up, then placed them on her ankles and pressed.

"That's enough, that's enough, stop pressing. It hurts!" The severe pain caused Jin Mingzhu to scream out.

Gu Huaijin listened to her screams, his tone still cold, and said reproachfully: "I don't think it hurts enough to teach you a lesson." But his hands stopped moving.

But she didn't know that the more painful part was at the back...
