Chapter 34: Workplace s*xual haras*ment

Zhou Chengjing can only threaten Su Man in two ways now.

Firstly, Zhou Chengjing is Wang Li’s boss, and Su Man fears that Wang Li might be targeted and lose his job.

This can be easily solved as Wang Li has only graduated for a little over a year, he’s still young, and finding another job after resigning is possible. Although his salary and benefits might decrease, he needs to understand what’s truly important. As long as he is capable and willing to work hard, he won’t end up in too dire of a situation wherever he goes.

Secondly, Su Man and Zhou Chengjing have had a relationship, although it was only emotionally derailing for Su Man, physically, they had an affair. She doesn’t dare let Wang Li know about it.

Even though Su Man doesn’t want to admit it, Zhou Chengjing didn’t actually drug her, so she doesn’t have a solid ground. Her relationship with Wang Li doesn’t have major issues, the little friction and hurdles in life are normal and manageable, not to the extent of being unbearable.

At least for now, Su Man hasn’t thought about divorcing him.

But what about Wang Li?

If he finds out about Su Man’s ordeal, where will his anger be directed? Will he stand with Su Man or turn against her?

Coincidentally, Zhou Chengjing didn’t take the route used by the higher-ups, and early in the morning, they met in the elevator.

It was fine when there was no one around, but now, Wang Li’s mind was filled with the sounds of that day’s phone call and the heavy breathing of this dignified man who always dressed appropriately in public.

Wang Li greeted him awkwardly, “Manager Zhou.”

Zhou Chengjing nodded without saying much.

Their floor was on the top level, and in the enclosed elevator, it was just Wang Li and Zhou Chengjing, the waiting time was extremely long. Wang Li was almost uncontrollably imagining…

He was just too embarrassed, couldn’t stand the silence, and blurted out without thinking, opening a can of worms: “Manager Zhou, about that phone call you made to me the other day…”

At his words, Zhou Chengjing glanced at him, truth be told, somewhat surprised.

He hadn’t expected him to actually dare to ask, and moreover, he was displeased at how tactless Wang Li was.

Zhou Chengjing had promised Su Man not to arouse his suspicion, so he could only evade.

What excuse should he use?

Saying it was a misdial was too commonplace and wouldn’t hold up forever.

With a calm expression, Zhou Chengjing stared at him, without much fluctuation, and said, “It’s nothing, just consider it a mis-touch.”

“Oh, I see, haha.”

Finally, the elevator arrived, Wang Li breathed a sigh of relief, the door opened, he stepped back, just about to speak and let Zhou Chengjing go first—

But Zhou Chengjing had already stepped out ahead, brushing past him, striding away.

In that moment of passing by, Wang Li felt something on his buttocks, not very obvious, but quite noticeable, he pinched it.

Wang Li froze.

In the CEO’s office, Zhou Chengjing, as if contaminated with some germ, used disinfectant wipes, meticulously wiping his fingers one by one, with a disgusted expression.

Manager Zhou: Sacrifice is too great, think about how to retaliate next time.

Man Man (friendly reminder): You can’t touch your colleague’s buttocks in the office, male colleagues’ buttocks are still buttocks.
