"Just focus on your work."
Thankfully, the boss didn't follow her any further. Standing in front of Jing Zhen's workstation, he gave her a smiling reminder before leaving.
Jing Zhen turned on her computer and found that it wasn't connected to the internet. So she just sat there at her workstation, idle.
During this time, Jing Zhen tried asking Sister Sun what she could do, but Sister Sun always dismissed her, saying she was busy.
It wasn't until noon that Sister Sun finally had a moment to say something to Jing Zhen.
"Arrange your own lunch. You only have half an hour for lunch break. Watch the time."
After saying that, Sister Sun walked out, as if avoiding something.
Half an hour? Is that even enough time to eat?
Jing Zhen pursed her lips and took out her phone to order something she could eat quickly.
"Jing Zhen, how do you feel about the job?"
Just as Sister Sun left, the boss walked in with a takeout box. He put it on Jing Zhen's desk and said cheerfully,
"You're new here today. You must not be familiar with the good places to eat around here. I ordered this for you. Have a try."
"Thank you, boss, but I don't need it." Jing Zhen pushed it back awkwardly.
She always felt that the boss's eyes could see through her clothes and into her body. This feeling sent shivers down her spine.
"Boss, I've already placed an order. I can't cancel it once the restaurant starts cooking. I'm not lucky enough to have it today. You go and have your lunch."
"You can take it home for your boyfriend if you can't finish it."
The boss said cheerfully, with a hint of probing in his tone.
Even if Jing Zhen was naive, she understood the real meaning behind the boss's words. The smile on her face faded a bit.
"My boyfriend likes to buy groceries and cook by himself. He doesn't like takeout. Boss, please take it back."
"Jing Zhen, you're being rather ungrateful."
The boss pointed his finger at Jing Zhen, his tone tinged with impatience.
"I've said it's for you, so eat it quickly!"
Jing Zhen quietly slipped her hand into her skirt pocket, feeling for the pepper spray that Xu Qingqing had given her. Her heart raced, but she pretended to be calm as she stood up.
"Boss, I don't think this job is suitable for me. I haven't been able to help Sister Sun at all this morning. I think I should leave."
After saying that, Jing Zhen picked up her bag from the chair and was about to leave.
"Did I say you could leave?"
The boss's tone suddenly turned cold. He reached out his hand and blocked Jing Zhen's way.
"You can't do anything. But I didn't hire you to be a useless person. There are other things for you to do."
Seeing that the boss's tone hinted at something explicit.
Jing Zhen took a few steps back, trying to stay calm. Her hand in her pocket tightly grasped the pepper spray.
"What other job?"
"Of course, it's to accompany me when I'm bored. I work so hard, and I'm keeping you here. You should at least provide me with some emotional value."
The words that came out of the boss's mouth were brazen, full of contempt and disdain, as if he was sure that Jing Zhen was just a good - for - nothing vase.
The boss's pig - like hand reached out towards Jing Zhen, his tone full of disdain.
"If you dare to do anything to me, I'll call the police!"
Jing Zhen panicked and fled to the corner of the office. She used her bag to shield herself and issued her final warning.
"Go ahead and call the police. The signal in this office has already been cut off."
"And there are no surveillance cameras. Do you think the police will believe you even if you call them?"
The boss had a lewd smile on his face. He spread his arms and lunged towards Jing Zhen.
Jing Zhen let out a scream and immediately grabbed the pepper spray.
Following the method that Xu Qingqing had taught her yesterday, she pressed the button of the pepper spray all the way down and sprayed the boss from head to toe.
"Ah! My eyes! What is this? You little bitch! How dare you spray me!"
The boss was caught off guard. His eyes, mouth, and nose were all filled with the pepper spray. It burned like hell.
He felt like his eyes were going to go blind!
While the boss was wiping his face, Jing Zhen quickly pressed the alarm button. The alarm bell echoed throughout the office.
"What's going on?"
Sister Sun, who was eating her takeout outside the office, heard the commotion and rushed in. She saw the boss lying on the ground in agony.
Sister Sun let out a scream, and the takeout box in her hand spilled all over the floor.
"What did you do to the boss!"
Sister Sun said as she tried to grab Jing Zhen.
Jing Zhen circled around the table to avoid her. This Sister Sun must be in on it. She didn't know how many times she had helped the boss and harmed how many girls!
Jing Zhen deliberately let Sister Sun catch up with her. She pressed the electric shock button and stabbed the self - defense device hard into Sister Sun's body.
The electric current coursed through Sister Sun's body. Her scream got stuck in her throat, and she fell to the ground, twitching all over.
After dealing with these two people, Jing Zhen picked up her bag and ran away as fast as she could.
The other employees on the first floor thought Jing Zhen was a poor girl who had been taken advantage of by the boss, so no one stopped her.
Jing Zhen ran out of the company in a hurry without looking where she was going. She bumped into someone. Her face hurt, and the self - defense device in her hand fell to the ground.
"Sorry!"
Jing Zhen quickly squatted down to pick up the self - defense device.
The person she bumped into didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave. His shadow fell over Jing Zhen.
"Sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going just now."
Jing Zhen thought the other person was dissatisfied with her apology. When she looked up, she met Xu Yan's slightly disdainful eyes.
"Idiot. I told you so, but you didn't believe me."
Xu Yan reached out his hand to Jing Zhen and pulled her up, then walked towards the company.
"Xu Yan, what are you doing!"
After the last time when they got into a fight and were taken to the police station.
This time, Jing Zhen refused to let Xu Yan go in no matter what. She slung her bag over her shoulder and grabbed Xu Yan's arms with both hands, holding him back tightly.
"I've already escaped. You don't need to go in and fight."
"We can't just let it go like this."
There was anger in Xu Yan's tone. He came up with an excuse to persuade Jing Zhen.
"He's a repeat offender. You were prepared and had a self - defense device. But if it were another girl, wouldn't she be taken advantage of?"
"Let's take him to the police station."
Hearing that Xu Yan wasn't going to fight, Jing Zhen finally let go of her hand and gave him a thumbs - up in agreement.
"You're right. We can't let him continue to deceive others."
The employees on the first floor laughed loudly at Jing Zhen's embarrassing escape just now.
They didn't expect Jing Zhen to come back, and there was a man behind her.
"Yo, why are you back again!"
"You didn't lose anything. Just go. The boss will transfer today's salary to your card! Hahaha."
After the two male colleagues mocked Jing Zhen, the whole group burst into laughter.
"You bastards!"
Jing Zhen was so angry that she clenched her fists and wanted to rush up and argue.
Xu Yan stopped her and took out a recording pen from his pocket.
"I've recorded everything you just said. The police will give you scumbags the punishment you deserve."
The smiles on the two men who mocked Jing Zhen instantly froze.
They glanced at each other and were about to grab the recording pen from Xu Yan's hand.
"How dare you act so arrogantly on our turf!"
"Give it here!"
