Chapter 1025: Not Clickbait
Rui Changhuai adjusted the photos according to his requirements, editing the people in them.
Only Zheng Xuelin’s face was fully visible.
Some photos showed profiles.
But for his colleagues at Rui Shi who were familiar with him, even a profile was enough to recognize Zheng Xuelin.
Moreover, the other people in the photos, like Vice President Lu and others Zhao Dingli didn’t recognize, were all clients Zheng Xuelin had interacted with before.
To Zhao Dingli, they were all minor characters he hadn’t come into contact with.
So Zhao Dingli didn’t recognize them.
But Zheng Xuelin managed to blur those people’s faces as much as possible.
Typically just the eyes or some features were obscured.
Still, one could determine the age and gender from the skin, face shape, and hairstyle.
But it was difficult to identify their exact identities.
"These are the original photos that hadn’t been edited or coded," Rui Changhuai said, placing another iPad in front of Zhao Dingli.
"Take a look and see if, after viewing these photos, you can still identify the people in the edited ones," Zheng Xuelin asked.
"I’ve seen these photos so many times, they’re deeply ingrained in my mind, so I fear my judgment is not accurate," Rui Changhuai explained.
Because he had been editing the photos, he remembered these people’s appearances too well.
To the extent of recognizing someone just from seeing some facial features.
Therefore, Rui Changhuai worried his judgment might not be precise.
Zhao Dingli nodded, found a few common photos, and compared them.
He randomly checked several photos.
Only then did he say, "Yes, I compared them carefully, and I really can’t see it anymore."
"Okay, then I’ll send these all out," Rui Changhuai said.
"Alright," Zhao Dingli agreed.
Rui Changhuai then took the two iPads out of the office.
He had already had the email addresses of all Rui Shi departments compiled into a document.
Company-assigned employee emails make it easy to send mass emails internally.
Rui Changhuai copied them one by one, registered a new email, changed to a virtual IP, and sent them out in bulk.
Changing IPs, once you know it, is quite simple.
As Zhao Dingli’s chief assistant - or rather, primary enforcer - one must be skilled in everything.
Similar tasks were not unfamiliar to him.
So now, he did it with practiced ease.
After sending, Rui Changhuai glanced at the time.
9:50.
This timing was perfect.
If sent earlier, employees just started working and might be too restless to check emails.
Now, everyone had settled into work, and this surprising news would provide ample lunchtime gossip.
At this moment, at Rui Shi.
Employees in various departments received email notifications almost simultaneously, including pop-up alerts in the top right corner.
Some received them first, others later, with only a 1-3 second delay between them.
Thus, office notification sounds rang out one after another.
Ignoring work, everyone was astounded.
"What’s going on? Why the sudden email buzz?" Employees questioned, "Is there an important announcement from leadership?"
Only Li Xiaoyun had a premonition.
Yesterday, Zhao Dingli said that Zheng Xuelin’s photos would arrive today.
He just didn’t specify when.
Now, with emails buzzing persistently, Li Xiaoyun’s first thought was that it might be from Rui Changhuai.
Li Xiaoyun received it too, and opened it to see.
Upon reading the email’s title, Li Xiaoyun’s mouth twitched uncontrollably.
[Shocking! Rui Shi Sales Department’s Zheng Xuelin Sells Himself for Contracts!]
Li Xiaoyun: "..."
Rui Changhuai must have read plenty of tabloid articles and headlines on UC News or similar sites.
Judging by the number of photos, Rui Changhuai directly packaged them into a zip file and sent it.
Seeing such unknown sources, everyone was hesitant to open it.
What if it was some virus?
But, how could Rui Changhuai not have thought of this?
Besides compressing, he also attached some representative photos in the email body, visible upon opening.
To prove his email wasn’t just a clickbait.
When everyone scrolled down, they saw photos in the body of the email.
"Oh my god!" Sister Li cried out first.
Lin Lingli also covered her mouth, delightedly amused, fearing she might burst out laughing, so she covered her mouth quickly.
Seeing the evidence in the email, everyone downloaded the zip file without hesitation.
This scene occurred across Rui Shi departments.
Brother Chen frowned, silent.
Zhou Yunyun muttered quietly, "I didn’t expect it to be true."
Lin Lingli snorted, "Now we know who’s trading themselves for contracts."
Zheng Xuelin saw it too.
He hadn’t expected there to be so many photos!
Yesterday he insisted it was Li Xiaoyun falsely accusing him.
But today, so many photos surfaced as evidence.
The face slap was swift!
Zheng Xuelin stood up abruptly and stormed over to Li Xiaoyun’s desk.
Thankfully, Li Xiaoyun no longer held expectations for Zheng Xuelin’s ethical bottom line.
Upon seeing the email, Li Xiaoyun didn’t bother downloading the zip file.
She remained alert from the start, prepared to react to any noise.
Luckily, Zheng Xuelin’s desk was quite far, separated by several stations.
Upon hearing the commotion, Li Xiaoyun avoided it immediately, without checking who it was.
At that moment, the only one making such a ruckus could be none other than Zheng Xuelin.
Indeed, it was Zheng Xuelin who stormed over.
Zheng Xuelin didn’t expect to miss his grab.
Li Xiaoyun dodged him unexpectedly.
Others, witnessing this alongside Zheng Xuelin’s notorious record, rushed to shield Li Xiaoyun.
Brother Chen didn’t hold back, "Zheng Xuelin, don’t stir up trouble!"
After this incident, Zheng Xuelin was sure to be driven out of the company.
If the photos hadn’t surfaced, Zheng Xuelin might have struggled on.
But now all the evidence was there, with those eye-offending pictures.
Though none were overly explicit.
But embraces and cuddles were unavoidable.
Just these were hard to look at.
This humiliating incident going public meant Zheng Xuelin could no longer stay in the company.
The stares and whispers from others would be unbearable.
Thus, Brother Chen had no reason to be polite to him.
Zheng Xuelin failed to get hold of Li Xiaoyun.
