You Can't Touch This Person

The other staff members in the marketing department were all stunned when they witnessed this scene.

They never imagined that General Manager Xia Tiejun would resort to force in person.

However, after a moment's thought, they understood.

Xia Tiejun usually relied on his position as the general manager of Shilin Guomao Group to coerce and exploit female employees within the company.

If he had managed to hold back until now for Shang Zhiyi, it was likely because he had reached his limit.

"Hey, where are you going?"

A female employee was about to get up to help, but was pulled back by a companion.

"To help? You mean just stand by and watch Shang Zhiyi get dragged away and defiled?"

"Are you crazy? He's our group's general manager, second only to the chairman. If you go up there now, you'll offend him. Do you still want to work in Zhonghai?"

"Exactly. Shang Zhiyi has Mr. Lin behind her, so nothing will happen to her. We just need to wait and see."

"Yeah, yeah. We're just ordinary people with no connections. If we go up now, knowing Xia Tiejun's personality, not only will we lose our jobs, but it'll be hard to get by in Zhonghai afterward."

"Right, I heard last time a woman went up to help like this, Xia Tiejun beat her up on the spot, and even hired thugs privately afterward to beat her again. She's still in the hospital now."

"Whoa, how come I didn't know about this? If that's true, then Xia Tiejun is too brutal. Isn't there anyone to report him or call the police on him?"

"Report him? You're thinking too much. Do you think he got the general manager position based on what? It was all through his connections. It's not easy to report and arrest him."

Originally, everyone thought that after saying this, the young girl would no longer be so brave.

But unexpectedly, not only did she not back down, she even started to lecture them.

"How can you guys be like this? When we faced difficulties in the company, how did Sister Shang help us? Now that she's in danger, should we just stand by and do nothing?"

"Fine, if you won't help, I will."

The young girl frowned slightly, clearly very disappointed with the attitude of her usually close colleagues.

With that, she wasted no more time and walked forward quickly.

She took out her phone, started recording a video, and said:

"Manager Xia, please release Sister Shang immediately, or I'll have to call the police."

Although she had a sense of justice, she was still a young girl after all.

Facing the general manager of a company, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous and fearful.

"Call the police?"

"Heh heh... Little girl, you've got a lot of nerve."

Xia Tiejun narrowed his eyes and looked at the young girl who threatened him with a grim expression.

It was clear that he hadn't expected her sudden move either.

Then, a second later, to everyone's shocked gaze, he directly slapped the young girl hard.

"Ah—"

As the sound of the slap echoed, the young girl's body immediately spun like a falling top, finally losing balance and falling to the ground.

Clatter!

Her phone slipped from her hand and fell straight to the ground.

Stomp, stomp, stomp!

With a few kicks, the phone was instantly smashed into pieces.

After the evidence on the phone was gone, Xia Tiejun finally turned his gaze back to the young girl.

"You dare to threaten me? You're tired of living."

The repeated obstruction completely ignited the already furious Xia Tiejun's rage.

He temporarily let go of Shang Zhiyi, then quickly walked towards the young girl who had fallen to the ground, grabbed her hair, and started slapping her repeatedly.

"Slap, slap, slap—"

The sound of slaps filled the entire marketing department, and everyone present dared not even breathe.

However, some of the bolder individuals, upon seeing this, began to whisper among themselves.

"Serves her right. I told her not to go, but she insisted. Now she's learned her lesson."

"Exactly, this is what they mean by 'ignoring elders' advice leads to suffering'."

"What a blockhead."

"Xiao Yu!"

Seeing Xiao Yu step forward, Shang Zhiyi was overwhelmed with emotion.

Now, seeing her being beaten, the fear in her heart instantly vanished, replaced by endless rage.

They say a woman is naturally gentle, but becomes strong when she becomes a mother.

But if they truly found their soulmates and genuine friends, even before becoming mothers, their strength would be in no way inferior to any strong man in the world.

"Xia Tiejun!!!"

With a roar, she grabbed a water cup from a nearby colleague's desk and charged at him.

With a smash, the water cup flew directly at Xia Tiejun's head.

After a crisp sound, the cup shattered into four pieces.

Everyone was stunned by what they were witnessing. They never expected that the usually beautiful and delicate Shang Zhiyi would be so fierce at a critical moment.

After all, he was the general manager of Shilin Guomao Group, a man with powerful backing in Zhonghai.

"Ah—"

In pain, Xia Tiejun instinctively touched his head. When he saw blood on his hand, his face instantly turned terrifyingly grim.

"Shang Zhiyi, you bitch, I'll show you how I'll fuck you today."

With that, Xia Tiejun reached out, intending to forcibly take Shang Zhiyi away.

However, at this very moment, things took a sudden turn.

A relatively old hand suddenly appeared, firmly gripping Xia Tiejun's hand.

"General Manager Xia, you cannot touch this person."

The speaker was Deng Wenji, the marketing department manager, who had been standing by the side, silent for a long time.

"Deng Wenji, I think you've grown some serious guts to dare block me now."

"Believe it or not, I'll make you crawl for the rest of your life."

Xia Tiejun never expected that Deng Wenji, the most timid among the group's management, would dare to oppose him in front of everyone.

Not only he, but the entire marketing department was also shocked, all staring at Deng Wenji with disbelief.

Despite Deng Wenji stepping forward, his expression was extremely nervous.

Especially after hearing Xia Tiejun's words, his heart pounded wildly in his chest.

But he still didn't let go; on the contrary, the grip on his hand tightened even more than before.

It wasn't that he had become braver, but he knew that given Mr. Lin's ambiguous relationship with Shang Zhiyi, if something were to happen to her in the marketing department, he would be held responsible.

His future days might be even more difficult than facing Xia Tiejun.

One was a major shareholder holding seventy percent of the group's shares, and the other was merely the general manager. Anyone with a brain could make the choice.

"General Manager Xia, you really can't touch her..."

Deng Wenji tried to say more, but before he could finish, Xia Tiejun's slap landed directly, sending him to the ground.

"Deng Wenji, am I giving you too much face?"

"Blocking me repeatedly, I think you're tired of living."

With that, he stepped forward and kicked him a few more times. Only after venting his anger did he stop.
