“Resign?” Chen Mei Yun exclaimed, “I didn’t!.”

In stark contrast to Cheng Xiao’ou’s situation, she had merely received a scolding from Choi Yun. As for President Shen, after she had entered, she hadn’t said a word and had just watched from the sidelines.

Miao Miao announced, “The third one, Lin Lu…”

Soon, out of the seven people, five had gone in, with three “voluntarily” resigning, one receiving a scolding, and one being transferred from their position.

“What kind of operation is this? I can’t understand it at all.”

“Heh, you’re not the only one who can’t understand.”

“Both were late, but the punishments are different. What’s the reasoning behind this?”

“It seems quite unfair…”

“Fair? The people involved don’t have any complaints. You’re the only one here making a fuss.”

“Hey, 1 was just speaking casually. Why are you getting so worked up?”

“I’m really curious, is this President Shen’s decision, or is it Manager Choi’s?”

“Does it make a difference? Without Shen Wan’s approval, would Choi Yun dare to do this?”

“Ahem!” Miao Miao glanced at everyone, and as her gaze swept over them, the discussions grew quieter. “The sixth one, Lin Li.”

This was the girl who had previously laughed at Shen Wan in the break room, saying she was “foolish with too much money,” and had been isolated by everyone.

As they passed by her, Miao Miao couldn’t help but take a longer look, curious about how President Shen would handle her.

After all, before this, Lin Li had already offended Shen Wan. If her punishment was too light, it would certainly earn Shen Wan a reputation for being generous. But if it was too harsh, people would accuse Shen Wan of taking advantage of the situation to make life difficult for her.

However, it turned out that Lin Li’s case was no different from the previous ones, and in fact, her time inside was even shorter than the others. She came out in about two or three minutes, suggesting that her presence and the previous grudge hadn’t caused too much difficulty for the decision-maker inside.

“Maybe you should go ask…”

“No, you should do it.”

“Hey, why don’t you go?”

With everyone hesitating, no one had the courage to approach Lin Li, especially after the previous isolation had caused so much tension.

Finally, Chen Mo stepped forward and asked, “Are you okay?”

Lin Li, who had been lost in thought, suddenly snapped back to reality. Chen Mo noticed that she was trembling all over. “You…”

“I need to pack my things! I have to go…” She said, pushing through the crowd and running away. However, something seemed to dawn on her, and she abruptly stopped, turned back, and bowed deeply towards the CEO’s office. With a suppressed sense of tears and shame, she fled.

“Another one?”

“Just like Cheng Xiao’ou before…”

Chen Mo thought for a moment and followed after her. Lin Li stood at her workstation, frantically packing her belongings.

“What’s going on?” Chen Mo frowned. “Don’t tell me you’re resigning.” He emphasized the last two words as if trying to make a point.

Lin Li’s body trembled, and tears flowed uncontrollably. “I didn’t want to… but I had no choice… 1 had no choice, you understand?”

“What’s really going on?” The man’s voice had a soothing tone that easily relaxed one’s guard.

“I… I made a mistake…” Lin Li cried even harder.

“Being late isn’t that serious,” his voice grew even softer and more comforting as if coaxing.

“No…”

Chen Mo smiled. “If it’s because of what happened in the break room earlier, President Shen’s tolerance isn’t that limited.”

Lin Li shook her head, “It’s not just that… Actually, I…”

In the next moment, she suddenly fell silent, casting a suspicious look at the man in front of her. Lin Li seemed to wake up abruptly, wiped away her tears, and became instantly alert. “It’s nothing. 1 resigned voluntarily. Thank you for your concern.”

Chen Mo pursed his lips, realizing that he wouldn’t get any useful information from Lin Li.

It seemed that the situation was even worse than he had imagined. Otherwise, Lin Li, along with the three people who had been dismissed earlier, wouldn’t be so quiet and compliant, to the point of being tight-lipped and secretive.

So, what did President Shen have as leverage over these people?

Chen Mo pondered in silence..
