Chapter 985: Chapter 765: This Is a Good Thing_2
Among them, Mo Kai’s eyes were the first to light up.
Xia Tian looked at Nan Zhubin and explained, "Teacher Nan, we are the EAP Project Team, hired by the company to provide employee psychological assistance. Even though an accident happened in the cafeteria, we have been calming Old Mo throughout the process, without any actions that exacerbated the conflict."
"We even helped control the situation in the end..." At this point, Xia Tian’s eyes sparkled, "Prevented more serious consequences. From a legal standpoint, we are completely without liability, instead, it proves our work was appropriate."
She first explained the current behavior of the project team as characterized by the police.
After all, although Nan Zhubin and the others could be said to be "acting bravely," the methods of everyone - especially Chonghui - might really cause some trouble.
"Speaking of ourselves," Xia Tian paused, then continued, "Our project team wants to leave the company, and without being held accountable, without putting Teacher Bai in a difficult position, right?"
"But even if all the evidence is collected and can prove our work was adequate, and it was the company that didn’t cooperate, truly exiting still involves back-and-forth with the company’s legal department - and even when the evidence is sufficient, it will still expend time and energy."
This is an unavoidable situation.
"But today’s incident can save us a lot of subsequent trouble - perhaps even all of it."
"After all, the company’s issues have blown up."
There is no need to verbally elaborate too much. Even if Xia Tian wanted to continue speaking, it was no longer necessary.
However, the master’s graduate at the front desk still seemed empathetic: "But I feel... that we somehow seem like, um..."
She stammered, unable to speak, and only after two or three breaths did she look at Chonghui and say, "It seems like we took advantage of someone else’s misfortune..."
The "someone else" mentioned by the master’s graduate naturally refers to "Old Mo."
Xia Tian glanced at her.
Chonghui frowned slightly and asked, "Empathy?"
The master’s graduate nodded.
Chonghui sighed deeply, his tone involuntarily heavier: "He is not your visitor."
The master’s graduate was startled, then asked again: "Senior brother, if I’m giving him a consultation, what should I do in this situation..."
"Prioritize protecting yourself, then initiate confidentiality exceptions." Chonghui said succinctly.
The master’s graduate fell silent.
This behavior made Chonghui’s eyebrows completely frown: "Forgot the confidentiality exceptions? Recite them for me."
This is a foundational knowledge point that must be recited in any psychological consultation course, the master’s graduate naturally couldn’t forget.
But given the current situation, Chonghui needed to hear this junior sister explicitly say it to feel slightly reassured.
Xia Tian glanced around and suddenly said: "Actually, according to Teacher Nan’s words, given Old Mo’s situation and the company’s current state... he was bound to explode eventually, just that today it was triggered prematurely, right?"
These words attracted everyone’s attention.
Nan Zhubin thought for a moment: "It’s not very precise to say it like this, saying ’high probability of explosion’ is more appropriate."
Xia Tian laughed: "Then today he lost control in the cafeteria and encountered Teacher Nan... and Senior Brother Chong, which was the best situation for him, right?"
On careful thought, this inference isn’t very stable - but it’s not without reason.
At least to persuade oneself, it seems to make sense.
The master’s graduate hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Seeing this, Xia Tian’s smile widened slightly: "Moreover, from my legal perspective. Today’s actions by Old Mo involved a criminal case, it’s practically a ’mutually assured destruction’ approach with the company."
"But ironically - Old Mo’s final choice actually gave him the best, and lightest punishment outcome in this predicament."
This time, involving legal expertise, even among the project team members, including Nan Zhubin and Chonghui, there was more or less some confusion in their eyes.
Only Mo Kai showed a look of semi-understanding, as if his thoughts were wrapped in a layer of paper that nearly got pierced.
Xia Tian lowered her voice, speaking softly. Even in the quiet corridor, no echo was stirred.
And once Xia Tian finished her analysis, even the most sentimental master’s graduate revealed a calm expression, the faces of all the young members of the project team were rekindled with vigor.
Chonghui looked around, finally felt the heavy stone in his heart had fallen, and thought for a moment: "Then the situation is like this now. We’ll finish the statement today and go home for a good sleep."
"Tomorrow, we’ll visit Boss Wang to negotiate and let the project team exit his company."
Chonghui sighed with emotion: "It’s finally going to end."
The other members of the project team also sighed in relief one after another.
However...
"Did we forget something?" Mo Kai suddenly blinked.
Before everyone could react, a crisp and panicked sound suddenly came from the corridor’s end.
Da da da da da—
Following was a cry tinged with sobs.
"—Dahui!"
The disheveled Shi Chuxin appeared in everyone’s view.
She was still wearing a multicolored shirt splashed with food, a thick bandage wrapped around her neck, wobbling constantly as she hurriedly walked. Whether it was an injury on her leg or her heart was truly in panic and shock was unclear.
Compared to the project team members, Shi Chuxin’s situation was much more complex from both a medical and legal perspective. So much so that discussions had finished on two fronts before she finally appeared.
As she approached, a smell from the cafeteria seemed to waft over everyone.
"Dahui..."
Chonghui couldn’t help but step back.
Then Shi Chuxin cried out uncontrollably: "Dahui, you mentioned collecting some evidence before, what conditions do you require? I will agree to whatever you offer, I promise..."
"Please, let me get out of this mess quickly, I really can’t take it anymore, boo hoo hoo hoo..."
Chonghui stared at Shi Chuxin for two seconds, sighed again. He couldn’t remember how many times he had done so today.
"Chuxin, I think you need psychological consultation." Chonghui added, "Of course, not from me."
Even the junior members of the project team might experience trauma from "witnessing others face death threats," let alone Shi Chuxin, who experienced it firsthand.
...
Cold knife, warm blood.
Panicked screams, hoarse cries.
The HR Director stood at the entrance of the boss’s office, shivering.
For a moment, she didn’t dare open the office door.
On one hand, such a major incident occurred downstairs, she hadn’t thought through how to explain to the boss before being called here;
On the other hand, removing herself from the HR Director role... she felt as an "individual person," she wasn’t ready to reinvest herself into work again.
"Do I need psychological consultation..." The HR Director unconsciously brought her thumb’s nail to her mouth, gently biting and muttering to herself.
But then the HR Director snapped back and saw the red nail polish on her fingertips. Some images were triggered again, forcing her to spit repeatedly as though she was stained with bad luck.
It was at this moment, with a click, the boss’s office door opened, and a tall figure in high heels quickly walked out.
The HR Director recognized this person as the boss’s secretary. Usually, she would have a brief chat with the secretary, maybe exchanging some beauty tips, talking about the weather, or planning a meal.
But today, the secretary only glanced at the HR Director before leaving with her head lowered.
Da da da da da—
The sound faded away, the office door remained ajar. The HR Director knew she couldn’t avoid it, took a deep breath, and knocked lightly on the door panel—
Dong dong dong—
"Enter!!!"
