Both Su Qi and Feng Zhixuan knew that Ding Yun must have already watched the surveillance video and confirmed that there was no problem before she would show it to them.
Therefore, there was no need to watch it at all.
However, upon Ding Yun's request, they could only bite the bullet and watch the surveillance video.
The process of watching it was a humiliation to them.
From the surveillance video, it could be seen that after Liu Qing entered the elevator, he deliberately distanced himself from Feng Zhixuan and retreated to the other corner of the elevator.
It was the greatest distance he could put between them in the elevator.
After that, he took out his phone and opened the WeChat page to type a message. Then, he put away his phone. The video captured this part quite clearly.
There was no possibility of him secretly filming her.
When Su Qi saw these images, she could not help but glance at Feng Zhixuan again.
Even though she did not have a good impression of Liu Qing, she had to admit that he had done well by taking the initiative to maintain a proper distance after entering the elevator.
It was truly too much to doubt the other person under such circumstances.
Feng Zhixuan's face turned bright red and she bowed to Liu Qing again.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Liu. I have misunderstood you."
Before Liu Qing could speak, Ding Yun cut in first.
"I think that this sort of thing is a serious accusation. It's not something that can be settled with an apology."
Feng Zhixuan's face turned pale. She did not know what to say and looked to Su Qi for help.
Su Qi was very unhappy. She felt that this mother and son pair was making a mountain out of a molehill and asked, "Chairwoman, how do you think we should resolve this? Should we compensate Mr. Liu for his mental distress?"
Ding Yun shook her head. "This isn't about money. Our company's senior secretary accused someone of secretly filming her without any evidence. I think the nature of this act is especially vile. As a mother, I can't allow my son to be slandered like this. As the chairwoman of the company, I also don't like company visitors to be slandered like this."
"Then how would you like to handle it, chairwoman?" Su Qi said coldly.
Ding Yun said, "I don't think Feng Zhixuan should continue working at Tianyuan Group."
Feng Zhixuan became really anxious. She bowed deeply to Ding Yun.
"Chairwoman, I'm very sorry for my mistake. Please give me another chance."
Su Qi looked at Ding Yun and said, "Chairwoman, aren't you going too far? I can understand your intention to stand up for your son. I can accept you punishing her, but I can't accept you firing her."
Ding Yun smiled. "I'm not giving you a suggestion. I'm informing you of my decision."
"I don't agree!" Su Qi said loudly. "You're using your official position to take personal revenge and using your authority to suppress others! Are you firing Zhixuan just because she offended your son?"
"If an important client of the company comes in and happens to take the elevator with your Secretary Feng, and gets accused in this manner, how much losses do you think it will cause the company? How badly will it affect the company's image? Is it too much to fire her?" Ding Yun asked.
Su Qi thought to herself, "Important clients of the company wouldn't dress so cheaply…"
She could only think about this reasoning in her mind, but she could not say it out loud. If she did, it would be politically incorrect.
She said, "What you're saying is hypothetical. The fact is that the incident didn't do any damage to the company or affect its image. It won't if Mr. Liu doesn't want to make a big deal out of it."
Ding Yun said, "If she doesn't get seriously censured for such behavior, it will cause other people to imitate her. Then it's a matter of time before it will cause losses to the company and lead to a negative impact. I can't allow the possibility of such a thing happening. If I see the start of something bad, I have to destroy it. Only then can it serve to warn others against following a bad example."
"I can't accept it!" Su Qi said angrily.
"You have to accept it," Ding Yun said coldly.
They stared at each other, neither one willing to give in.
In the end, Feng Zhixuan admitted defeat and spoke to them with her eyes reddened.
"Chairwoman, President Su, stop arguing. I'll go and write my resignation letter now."
"You're not allowed to!" Su Qi shouted.
"You don't need a resignation letter," Ding Yun said. "The personnel department will give you a dismissal letter."
Su Qi became even angrier and stared at Ding Yun.
"You won't even let her resign, instead you want to dismiss her. Aren't you going too far?"
Resignation was when an employee voluntarily resigned.
Dismissal was when the company asked the employee to leave.
There was a big difference between the two.
For a security guard like Liu Qing, he could not wait to be dismissed by the company. This way, the company would have to compensate him.
Property management companies did not usually dismiss their employees. Instead, they would recommend that the employee resign. Otherwise, they would scrutinize the employee and keep deducting points, forcing the employee to leave because too much money was being deducted.
However, office workers in a large company like Tianyuan Group would not be willing to be dismissed by the company, even if they would be compensated a certain amount of salary.
This was because after being dismissed by the company, it would affect their future job search and directly affect their market worth.
For low-level jobs like security… Most property management companies would hire the person as long as they were willing to come to work. Whether they had been dismissed before would not be a concern for the company.
Su Qi was furious because she felt that Ding Yun was destroying both Feng Zhixuan's career and her as a person.
Ding Yun refused to budge. "She deserves to be punished for what she did!"
Feng Zhixuan was also dumbfounded. She did not expect that she could not even resign and would be dismissed.
She felt so aggrieved that tears streamed down her face.
Liu Qing coughed, attracting everyone's attention to him. Then, he said to Ding Yun, "Mom, forget it. It's just a misunderstanding. There's no need to dismiss her."
Hearing what he said, Feng Zhixuan felt tears welling up in her eyes again. She felt that this man was simply too nice!
Ding Yun glanced at Liu Qing coldly and snorted.
"She slandered you and called you a pervert and you still want to defend her…"
Before Liu Qing could refute, she waved her hand and said to Feng Zhixuan, "Forget it. Since my son doesn't mind, I won't dismiss you. Write a resignation letter yourself."
Feng Zhixuan was overjoyed. She bowed to her and then to Liu Qing. "Thank you, chairwoman. Thank you, Mr. Liu."
Ding Yun grunted and said. "You should be glad that my son is a magnanimous person."
Su Qi also nodded at Liu Qing. "Thank you."
She had completely forgotten that she originally objected to Feng Zhixuan having to resign.
It was mainly because after Ding Yun wanted to dismiss Feng Zhixuan, she suddenly felt that resignation was considered a good conclusion.
Mr. Lu Xun had said something similar previously, "For example, if you say that this house is too dark and you need to open a window here, no one will allow it. But if you advocate taking down the roof, they will come to mediate and be willing to open the window."
He was referring to situations like this.
Feng Zhixuan left the office to write her resignation letter. Su Qi was about to leave when Ding Yun stopped her.
"Don't go off first. I need to talk to you about something."
Su Qi was stunned. She stood there and asked.
"What is it?"
