Chapter 35 'It's always been like this, so it's right'

Regarding Han Xiaoan's client, there is another "accident" that Xu Hong never expected, that is, Qi Chen actually forced Han Xiaoan to sign a cooperation contract, and along with the contract came a sum of nearly [-] yuan. small deposit.For this operation, Qi Chen's explanation is still a play and a complete set. If he doesn't even sign a contract or pay a deposit, and just give him the goods, it seems really a "game".Xu Hong asked, "Will Han Xiaoan have to pay for the money?" Qi Chen said disdainfully, "How is it possible? The goods were sent to their company, and they were also used as benefits for their employees. Han Xiaoan and his friend might even make a fortune from it." .You know? When I look at Han Xiaoan now, I feel that he is snickering, and I feel like he is giving up a small amount of money to make a lot of money." Suddenly, Xu Hong had a feeling of buzzing in his head, and he only thought about it. When will it end, she doesn't want to do this crime anymore.

When Xu Hong returned to her seat, Han Xiaoan walked over with a smile and put a cup of coffee on her seat. Xu Hong felt that Han Xiaoan probably thought she hadn't found anything. Qi Chen agreed to the order.

Looking at Han Xiaoan, Xu Hong tilted his head involuntarily, and fell into a kind of thinking. Han Xiaoan became embarrassed when she saw her, and blushed with embarrassment.After watching for a few seconds, Xu Hong suddenly said, "Show me your order contract." Han Xiaoan didn't understand, but still widened his big eyes like sika deer and said, "The contract has been handed over to the Finance Department for archiving."

Xu Hong stood up and rushed to the financial office. When he got the contract, as Xu Hong expected, Qi Chen added a few clauses to the contract, such as "Party A provides cooperation pictures, and if any legal issues are involved, Party A Full responsibility", "Party B reserves the right to pursue legal responsibility if the reputation of Party B is damaged due to matters that Party A did not complete", etc.Looking at the contract, Xu Hong thought Qi Chen didn't want to dump Han Xiaoan, she wanted to kill Han Xiaoan, Xu Hongyuan knew YR's methods, how could Qi Chen rely on Xu Hong to make up his mind like a little white rabbit Woolen cloth.

Standing at the door of the financial office, Xu Hong didn't know what to do, should he question Qi Chen?Qi Chen would definitely say that Han Xiaoan asked for it himself. If he knows the fun and doesn't threaten her, she will naturally pay the copyright fee for Han Xiaoan.Do you ignore it and pretend you didn't find it?This copyright fee may be a lot, or it may be very little, which is unknown, but how much money can a child who has just graduated have?Even if he followed Qi Chen, he didn't get much cash except for some food and drink. Where would he get the money to pay for it?Qi Chen will force him to death.

Xu Hong was at a loss, and his hand holding the contract trembled slightly. Qi Chaoli passed by the financial office and saw her looking dazed, so he called her.Qi Chaoli glanced at the contract in her hand, and asked her to follow him to the office.Qi Chaoli knew what Xu Hong was thinking, so he let her sit down.

Qi Chaoli said, "I asked Qi Chen to add those few items, and I asked Qi Chen to ask for the contract."

"Huh?" Xu Hong thought, sure enough, Qi Chaoli knows everything.

"Xu Hong, do you know what your biggest problem is? Too kind, you always think of the relationship between colleagues too simply, or you know it's complicated, but you want to simplify, but the people in this office None of them are simple, even the Xiao Lin you recruited is not simple." Xu Hong didn't understand what Qi Chaoli meant, so Qi Chaoli sent her a picture, which showed the back of Xiao Lin entering the hospital .Xu Hong looked at Qi Chaoli in bewilderment, Qi Chaoli said, "Yes, I admit, Qi Chen is very unwilling, she is very dissatisfied with my final arrangement, so she sent someone to watch this woman during the weekend Now, what did she do when she stepped into the hospital, don't I need to say?"

Xu Hong lowered his head to look at the photo again. The person in the photo was indeed Xiao Lin, the returning mother with a three-year-old child whom she had just recruited.After watching for a while, Xu Hong said, "Give me some time, I think there must be a misunderstanding."

"What's the misunderstanding? She didn't go to the hospital for a pregnancy test? She has relatives who were hospitalized there? Xu Hong, are you oversimplifying the matter?"

"But just such a picture does not mean that she has concealed the fact that she is pregnant. She may just be uncomfortable. I think we still need this minimum level of trust in our employees. At the very least, we must Ask her for her own story, not just a picture. Also, even if she is pregnant, it doesn't mean she will affect her work."

"Xu Hong, you know, you will lose this job if you do this."

"So what? I'm here for work. The work you keep talking about should be in this office, right? But why should I deal with Qi Chen's private affairs? It's okay to deal with it. Why do I have to do this?" What about a kid who just graduated? Is Qi Chen right about this?"

"It was you who proposed to deal with this."

"Yes, I proposed it, so I don't think I'm so kind. I deserve it right for my complicity in order to keep my job, but I didn't want to force this child to death. Mr. Qi, I respect you, Qi Chen is Your child, but Han Xiaoan is someone else's child, we can't do this. No matter how bad Han Xiaoan is, even if he has his own thoughts, he is just a person who wants to take shortcuts. He is wrong. Give him a lesson. Let him know that this can't work, isn't it all right?" Xu Hong felt that she was about to cry, she really didn't want to force Han Xiaoan to death, maybe this incident was not enough to become a setback in Han Xiaoan's life, but why did she take the risk? What about this risk?Why hang your life on the roof and tell him that you will fall, even if you don't fall in the end, in the future life, he will always think of it, and you will be uneasy.

Looking at Xu Hong, Qi Chaoli confirmed her thoughts again, she is too kind.Looking at Xu Hong, Qi Chaoli let out a heavy breath and said, "If today Qi Chen was a man, Han Xiaoan was a woman, and the person handling this matter was a man, what do you think he would do? Would he beg for mercy for a woman like you? No Maybe? He smiled and said, “You deserve it. You want to be a dragon and a phoenix because of your beauty, you want to ascend to heaven, and you want to get something for nothing… There are more words to humiliate women. Don’t you do the same? ?You should have been harassed, right? When you were promoted and raised your salary, you were secretly satirized, right? Why, don’t you think it’s unfair? Why do things that are imposed on women, Change your position, even you have to intercede for him?"

Xu Hong couldn't refute Qi Chaoli's remarks, because what she said was right, because these words would appear in her ears from time to time, and she was fed up with that kind of workplace life.But knowing that this is wrong, do you want to impose it on others?
"So, if others are like this, we should also be like this. Didn't you say that you like women who have read books, then, 'It's always been like this, so it's right'?"

Qi Chaoli couldn't, she knew she couldn't convince Xu Hong, and Xu Hong's sense of morality was stronger than hers.In the end, Qi Chaoli compromised and said, "I'll leave this matter to you. Han Xiao'an has to go. I don't care if he has something in his hand that threatens Qi Chen. He won't get a penny from me." Xu Hong knew that she had received another "villain card" for herself, and now she had to go to Xiao Lin and Han Xiaoan to play the biggest villain of the company.

Xu Hong sat in the coffee shop downstairs for a long time, she needed a process of mental construction.Today, Xu Hong wore a black woolen coat and sat in the coffee shop where the sun can shine, and he felt warm. Xu Hong felt again, how can a person be so tired when alive? The sun is so good, but she is Here is how to play a villain. People come and go on the street, but no one is as lonely as her.Huh?lonely?Is it lonely?Did she just think of "loneliness"?Xu Hong was shocked by the appearance of this word. How could such a word appear in her mind? Since when did she feel lonely?Lonely and helpless, who can she rely on at this time?Who can let her rely on to keep her warm?Ah, is it warm?I seem to have experienced such a place before, where is that place?Whose body emits this temperature? ...it was Chang Qing, Chang Qing held her in his arms in that dark passage in the hospital, and then said that it was you who worked hard... Yes, it was hard, it was really hard, thinking so , Xu Hong even shed tears in his heart.

Thinking of Chang Qing, Xu Hong felt resentful towards him. If he hadn't appeared, Xu Hong's heart might not have softened so much. If he hadn't been so gentle, Xu Hong might not have missed him so much. If he hadn't been so tender It's hard for me, Xu Hongxing probably has nothing to do with him...Chang Qing, Chang Qing, this damned, lingering person.

When night fell and people came out of the office building, Xu Hong called Han Xiaoan. Xu Hong invited Han Xiaoan to a teahouse. There were not many people in the teahouse and the atmosphere was relatively quiet. Xu Hong felt that this should be A better place to talk about things.

Han Xiao'an followed Xu Hong up the steps ignorantly.When Xu Hong called him, Han Xiaoan was quite surprised. When he heard that Xu Hong asked him to meet outside the company, Han Xiaoan was suspicious and even asked Qi Chen.Qi Chen smiled and told him that Mr. Xu asked you maybe there is something good to go and see. Han Xiaoan thought that after Xu Hong approached him last time, Qi Chen passed his order, and this time Xu Hong approached him again. What a good thing.Although ignorant, under Qi Chen's persuasion, Han Xiao'an followed Xu Hong out alone.

Xu Hong asked for a pot of Longjing and poured it slowly for Han Xiaoan, Han Xiaoan seemed flattered.Han Xiaoan grabbed the teapot in her hand and said, "How can I let you come, I will do it." Xu Hong looked at him and asked feebly, "Did Qi Chen teach you?" Han Xiaoan smiled with his deer eyes. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Well, Mr. Qi has taught me a lot. You have a good relationship with Mr. Qi, right? I heard you call her by her name all the time." Xu Hong thought about it, is it good, or Not good, say okay?It's not much better, setting up a situation with each other, trying to "conquer" each other, isn't it okay?She had to come and clean up this mess for Qi Chen again.For a moment, Xu Hong once again thought of the question that had appeared in her mind countless times: this aimless life, when will it be the leader.

After Han Xiaoan asked, he stared at Xu Hong with good eyes, and Xu Hong wondered if the child thought this was very charming?Xu Hong came back to his senses, smiled lightly and said, "After all, Qi Chen is still young, I'm a few years older than her, and I can still talk to Mr. Qi, so I didn't care much about calling it."

"President Xiao Qi said that President Qi likes you very much, right?"

Xu Hong tilted his head, thinking, does Qi Chaoli like her?Forget it, if it wasn't for liking her, based on her performance today, Qi Chaoli might fire her directly, yes, he likes her, right?It takes a lot of trust and love to let her do things like kissing her niece.

Seeing that Xu Hong didn't speak, Han Xiao'an became restrained. He really didn't know Xu Hong well, and he wasn't in the same department. Qi Chen also complained about Xu Hong in private. It's not like that, Han Xiao'an really doesn't know Xu Hong's temperament.Moreover, Xu Hong doesn't seem to be very close to any male in the company. Compared with male colleagues, she is more tolerant and closer to female colleagues. Han Xiao'an even heard the rumor that Xu Hongxing may like women, so she Single so far.

Xu Hong felt that the atmosphere was getting better, so he regained his spirit and handed out a copy of the contract.Han Xiaoan took the document, looked at it twice, and knew that it was the one he signed.Han Xiaoan opened his innocent eyes again, looking at Xu Hong blankly for no reason.

Xu Hong said while drinking tea, "This should be the contract you signed, right?"

Han Xiao'an nodded, and his heart started beating.While playing drums, a group of people came up the stairs, Han Xiaoan was startled by the noise of the crowd, Xu Hong turned his head and saw Huang Guanyang mixed in the crowd.Of course, Huang Guanyang also saw her. The moment he saw Xu Hong, Huang Guanyang's eyes lit up. Xu Hong was sitting in the teahouse with a young man with such a beautiful face.

After Huang Guanyang sat down, Xu Hong nodded slightly to him. Huang Guanyang was moved by her move and nodded to her, and the people at the same table began to joke about how they knew each other.Huang Guanyang was perfunctory like a haha, and only said one thing he knew.

Xu Hong turned his head and continued to say to Han Xiaoan, "Have you read this contract carefully?"

Han Xiaoan said shyly, "I don't understand the terms of the contract. Xiao Qi always said that there is a legal department in the headquarters, so I leave it to the legal department to handle it."

"Does your friend have no objection to this contract?" After Xu Hong asked, Han Xiao'an shook his head.Xu Hong took the contract, pointed out to him the clauses added by Qi Chen, and said, "Do you know what this means?"

Han Xiaoan showed surprise on his face, but his eyes still didn't quite understand.Xu Hong said again, "Do you know where your friend's picture came from?"

"He said it was on the design website."

"Have you ever paid?"

"Huh? What do you mean?" Han Xiaoan didn't understand what Xu Hong was talking about.Xu Hong took another sip of tea and said, "The pictures on the Internet are copyrighted, especially this kind of illustrations, which are drawn by the author stroke by stroke. If you want to use them, you have to pay copyright fees. And this copyright fee should be divided into personal use, commercial use, profit-making, etc. You said that your friend downloaded it from a design website, I suggest you ask him if he bought the copyright, if he said he just bought it The number of members on the design website may be more than 1000 a year, which is not enough for commercial use. So I suggest you ask your friends clearly.”

After Xu Hong finished speaking, Han Xiaoan took out his mobile phone and hurriedly called his friend.When Han Xiaoan was on the phone, Xu Hong glanced at Huang Guanyang's table again. The table seemed to be polite, but Huang Guanyang seemed very uncomfortable. They spoke loudly, and their voices echoed throughout the teahouse.

Han Xiaoan put down the phone and said to Xu Hong, "My friend said that this kind of picture can be used casually, and it does not involve any copyright or copyright."

"Who told him? If you can use it casually, and the author has opened up the commercial permission, then ask him to show the project source file, he can't get it out, don't you know it? Why can't it be because he is a pirated picture , do you know how much compensation is for copyright infringement?”

Speaking of compensation, Han Xiaoan glanced at the terms of the contract again, then asked with wide eyes, "So, if compensation is involved, does this mean that my friend's company is responsible?" Xu Hong nodded, and Han Xiaoan also agreed. At first he became uneasy, but after the uneasiness passed, Han Xiaoan asked, "Is it too late for us to take down that picture now? Isn't the goods delivered yet?"

"It's too late. At the moment the deposit arrives in the account, the purchasing department has already ordered the materials. Maybe the batch of goods has already left the factory and is on the way to be shipped. If they break the contract now, they still have to pay for this batch of goods. The remaining amount is written in the contract." Xu Hong tapped the table again, motioning Han Xiaoan to read the contract.

Han Xiaoan looked at the contract. In fact, he couldn't even understand the words on the contract at this time. Those words could no longer jump into his eyes. Xu Hong saw Han Xiaoan's flustered look again.Then Han Xiaoan asked Xu Hong, "So, if you want the goods, they have to pay for the infringement fee, and if you don't want the goods, they have to pay for the goods, right?" Xu Hong nodded, and Han Xiaoan looked down at the contract again and said, " How could this be so, this is Mr. Qi, the contract that Qi Chen sorted out for me, how could this be... She told me that this is the standard contract of the company's legal department, and all cooperation is a contract template, so I I persuaded my friend to sign it."

"This only shows that your friend doesn't understand the copyright awareness of Internet authors, and you don't understand the legal effect of the specific contract. I hope that you have no other transactions with your friend, but I don't think this is possible. Yes, if I'm not wrong, you should have received a commission, right?"

"Did Mr. Qi tell you?" Xu Hong nodded, and Han Xiaoan's voice turned into tears, and he asked, "Why did she tell you?"

"What do you say?"

"Huh?" Han Xiaoan stared blankly at Xu Hong, the voices of the guests on the same floor were too loud, but even so, Han Xiaoan heard his own incredible voice, he asked, "What else did Qi Chen tell you?"

"What you know, what you don't know, everything you have done, everything, Qi Chen told me."

Han Xiaoan was shocked and even horrified, and then asked "Why?"

"Because President Qi, Qi Chaoli, and Qi Chen's aunt know about it."

"Ah..." Han Xiao'an understood in an instant, put away all the fear on his face, and then said with a smile, "So, I just want to 'get rid of' me now, so as not to affect Qi Chen's arrangement marriage?"

"You really know..." Xu Hong thought, Han Xiaoan finally couldn't pretend anymore.

"The general manager of YR Company, the head of the Qi Family Silver Building, shouldn't be difficult to find out, right? So what? Does Qi Chen mean to dump me now?" Han Xiaoan's foxy face was revealed, and Xu Hong's heart became more at ease. , she has the right to think that she is "removing harm for the people", because they are not good people, so she doesn't have so much conscience when she does it.

"Isn't she afraid that I have audio or video recordings?"

"You should know that the country has laws. If you release it, according to the laws and regulations on disseminating obscene materials, you should be punished. If you don't know, I suggest you look it up."

"I don't believe she will call the police..."

"Then give it a try and see if you are arrested faster for distributing obscene materials and accepting private commissions, or Qi Chen dies faster if the outside world finds out about such things? Do you really think Qi Chen cares? You said it too, she Her aunt is the general manager of YR, and her father is the head of the Qi family bank. Even if she doesn’t get married, she will still be the young head of the Qi family bank, the general manager of YR, and you? Get fined, go to jail, etc. When you come out, do you think you can still find a job? Maybe you can rely on your little face to get a rich woman or something, but you have to make sure that you have not been bullied inside. We have never been to a prison , but you should have seen similar movies, right? I’m afraid it’s not made out of nothing, right? Even if you come out intact, your friend provoked such an infringement case for the company, do you think he will let you go? Your friend's company has caused damage to YR's reputation, do you think Qi Chaoli will just let it go? Isn't it clear at a glance who will have a worse life then?" After Xu Hong finished speaking, Han Xiaoan showed a look of fear .

Han Xiaoan stared at Xu Hong and asked, "Why are you handling this matter?"

"Because Qi Chen is tired of you."

"You are Qi Chaoli's dog!"

Xu Hong smiled and said, "Did Qi Chen say that? Or do you all say that in private? Do you think it will affect me?"

"You woman is indeed a lunatic... What if, what if it was a female employee who encountered this matter today? Don't you prefer female employees the most? If it was a woman who encountered such a thing, would you still deal with it like this? "

"So, why put yourself in the position of a woman, how do you say, 'Put a man in the position of a woman, and he becomes a woman', you clearly know that there is such a result , and why put yourself in such a position? Do you think that you will not fall into such a situation? Do you think that Qi Chen will believe in your illusory so-called love? If a woman suffers from such a situation Situation, you, what do you think as a man? Are you going to say that you can do whatever you want without hindrance because of your good looks? Isn’t it just because you look good? There is nothing but good looks, promotion Whether it’s a salary increase, you must have seduced the leader, you must have accepted some rules. What? When it comes to yourself, do you beautify it into love? Make your shameful selfish desires look dignified. But love is two For personal matters, at least two people must admit to each other, right? Obviously Qi Chen didn't regard it as love. Don't you men like to talk about playing on the spot? Why can't you take the stage as a woman? You can't stand it, treat it as a game , is it not good for you? Anyway, you have eaten and spent, and you have enjoyed what you should enjoy, so let it go at the right time..."

Wow... Before Xu Hong finished speaking, a pot of tea was poured on her face. Han Xiaoan poured all the remaining tea in the pot on her face. The spare white water was also poured on Xu Hong's body.For a while, the entire teahouse was quiet, people were whispering, and Xu Hong even heard the sound of the phone's shutter being pressed.

A few seconds later, Sheng Min's scream came from Changqing's company, "Hey!!!" Sheng Min stayed in the company for a while because he knew that Huang Guanyang was going to socialize. Being with a pretty boy, Sheng Min murmured in his heart, and when he saw Xu Hong being splashed with tea, he immediately cried out in surprise.

Sheng Min's scream startled Chang Qing, Chang Qing opened the door and came out to check. Seeing Sheng Min's panicked face, Chang Qing asked, "What's wrong?"

Sheng Min looked at Chang Qing in shock and said, "Ah, you didn't leave..." After speaking, he pointed to the mobile phone. Chang Qing went over to take a look, then went to the office to get his coat and car keys, and then said, "Ask me Address, send me the address." After speaking, Chang Qing went downstairs.

Xu Hong felt that he was really unlucky. She thought about being splashed, so she didn't ask for hot water, but why did Huang Guanyang see it?There are so many teahouses on this street, why did he come to this teahouse? Shouldn't they go to a bar or a tavern to talk about things? What kind of teahouse do they come to... I hope he won't send the information to Changqing, Xu Hong didn't want to be seen by Chang Qing in such a mess.

Xu Hong wiped the tea off his face with a paper towel and said, "I've been angry and vented, so let me give you a suggestion. I suggest that you resign tomorrow. This matter has nothing to do with you. Although the contract The signature is your name, but the seal is the company’s seal, so the responsible company will still bear the responsibility. If a copyright lawsuit is involved, we have a legal department, and we will deal with them according to the contract, and try not to involve you. If you If you resign voluntarily, I will apply to the company for compensation of one month's salary, and then help you write a letter of recommendation so that you can join the next company."

After hearing what she said, Han Xiaoan was so angry that he wanted to leave, Xu Hong stopped him again and said, "Oh, I think it is necessary to tell you in advance that I have recorded all our conversations today. If there is any information that is not good for Qi Chen, I advise you to delete it. Once it is leaked or spread to her fiancé, the company will also sue you, whether it is violating other people's privacy, disseminating obscene materials, or receiving money privately, there is always One suits you."

"Forget it." After Han Xiao'an finished speaking, he went downstairs angrily, and Xu Hong let out a long sigh of relief.

Huang Guanyang watched Xu Hong's shoulders languid, tried a few times before standing up, and walked over quietly.Huang Guanyang handed over a pack of tissues and asked, "Are you all right?"

Xu Hong took the tissue and shook his head, then said, "Didn't you tell Chang Qing?" Xu Hong had tears in his eyes and Huang Guanyang blamed himself a little. , For the first time, he felt that this "crazy woman" might have something worthy of pity.

Xu Hong held the tissue, tears slid down, but he laughed and said, "Ah, why are you here? What should I do? It makes me miss him a little bit." After speaking, Xu Hong also felt ridiculous. What would Chang Qing do?

Xu Hong lowered his head, wiped away the tears that fell on his nose and eyes, then raised his head, smiled at Huang Guanyang and said, "Thank you." After speaking, Xu Hong stood up, carried his bag, and went to the bar to pay the bill.
