Ye Feng halted his steps, his eyebrows slightly raised. This was Yunfeng Group, so why were there cries for help?

However, he was quite certain that the sound was coming from an office on the side.

He moved quietly to the director's office and asked, "Old Zheng, whose office is this?"

As they reached the director's office, the woman's voice suddenly stopped, but there were still sounds of struggle coming from inside.

Even Zheng Guozhong could hear it and hurriedly knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

A rough voice came from inside, slightly breathless.

"Luo Ren, what's going on in there?" Zheng Guozhong asked with a frown.

Luo Ren was of a lower rank than him, but in the past, he had been suppressed by Xiao Jun.

The actual authority was much greater than Luo Ren's, as the latter, being an operations director, had authority over all the company's mall operations.

After being assigned to Liancheng Mall, the only place he could truly oversee was Liancheng Mall.

He couldn't interfere with any other malls.

However, with his position as a board member, people at Yunfeng didn't dare to underestimate him.

At this moment, inside, Luo Ren was pinning Xuanxuan to the ground, covering her mouth.

He was afraid Xuanxuan would call out and bring the people outside in.

Although Ye Feng was outside, he knew there was definitely someone inside. He went up to turn the doorknob, trying to open the door, but it wouldn't budge—it was locked from the inside.

"Luo Ren, open the door," Zheng Guozhong said sternly.

Zheng Guozhong had long heard about Luo Ren's nature, reportedly often using his power to coerce beautiful women from partners into complying with him. This wasn't much of a secret within the company.

But since he was promoted by Xu Yang, who was Xiao Jun's most loyal supporter, the company turned a blind eye to these matters. Even if Zheng Guozhong was displeased, he was helpless.

Recently, Zheng Guozhong had been planning to clean up the middle management of Yunfeng Group to establish authority, and Luo Ren was a perfect target to make an example of.

Seeing no response from inside, Ye Feng took two steps back and kicked the office door hard, breaking it open.

The scene inside left them speechless.

Under Luo Ren's large body was a delicate beauty, her hands and feet pinned down, her clothes torn to shreds, both of them in a sorry state.

"Luo Ren, what are you doing here?" Zheng Guozhong asked sternly.

"Mr. Zheng..." Luo Ren was in a panic, completely flustered, stammering and unable to speak, his expression extremely awkward.

Xuanxuan, pinned beneath him, her hair disheveled and clothes torn, her ample chest exposed, with lace edges fully revealed, looked very alluring.

Taking advantage of Luo Ren's distraction, Xuanxuan pulled back her foot and kicked Luo Ren in the stomach.

Luo Ren's heavy body immediately toppled backward, and Xuanxuan scrambled up in a panic, rushing out the door.

Ye Feng looked at Xuanxuan, not in the mood to admire her exposed state, only feeling she looked familiar.

But he couldn't recall where he had seen her before. Out of courtesy, he quickly took off his coat and handed it to her. "Are you okay?"

"I'm... I'm... okay!" Xuanxuan reached out to take Ye Feng's coat, her whole body trembling, her voice quivering, too scared to look up.

Shaking, she draped the coat over herself, covering her exposed chest, then moved to the wall in the hallway, squatted down, and started crying.

Incidents like this were common in the workplace, happening in many companies, not just Yunfeng's specialty.

Many women would choose to compromise, and those who were harassed often kept silent, eventually letting things go.

A beautiful woman, whether in the workplace or the marketplace, had a natural advantage.

But it also attracted countless predators, and one careless move could lead to being devoured.

This was the bitter and unjust reality for many women.

"Mr... Mr... Zheng!" Luo Ren clumsily got up from the floor, looking flustered, unable to utter a word.

"Luo Ren, how dare you do such things in the company?" Zheng Guozhong scolded angrily.

Hearing this, Luo Ren hurriedly knelt down, trembling, "Mr. Zheng, please forgive me this once!"

Zheng Guozhong ignored him and directly called the security department, instructing them to come and take him away.

Luo Ren's issues went beyond this; he was involved in embezzlement within the company, and Zheng Guozhong planned to pursue it all.

Xuanxuan remained crouched on the carpet, crying with her head in her hands.

At this moment, Zheng Guozhong came over and was surprised, "Miss Xuanxuan?"

When Mengsi Company opened a brand store in Liancheng Mall, Xuanxuan was the one in charge.

She had interacted with Zheng Guozhong several times back then.

It was the success of the brand store in Liancheng Mall that prompted Mengsi to plan on setting up brand stores in other malls under Yunfeng Group, leading to the cooperation with Yunfeng Group.

"You know her?" Ye Feng asked curiously.

"She's from Mengsi Company. We've met before!" Zheng Guozhong replied with an awkward smile.

"Mengsi?" Ye Feng had heard of the company. A few days ago, he went with Luo Yan to buy Mengsi cosmetics, leaving a deep impression.

Ye Feng didn't know much about cosmetics, but from Luo Yan and Qiu Hong's words, he felt the company's products must be exceptional.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be so popular among young women, despite not being a big brand, they had a significant influence.

"Old Zheng, I've heard of this company. Their product quality is excellent and very popular among young women."

"Indeed, it's a local brand in Liancheng. Both quality and price are very genuine, otherwise, I wouldn't have let them into the mall back then."

Zheng Guozhong replied respectfully.

By now, Xuanxuan had calmed down and looked up secretly.

She saw Zheng Guozhong talking to a casually dressed young man.

Due to the angle, Ye Feng was always facing away from her, so she couldn't recognize him.

However, their conversation shocked her.

Zheng Guozhong was actually speaking to the young man with such respect, like a subordinate reporting to a superior.

Zheng Guozhong already held a high position in Yunfeng Group. After Xiao Jun's suicide and a series of changes in Yunfeng Group, his status had risen even further. Apart from the mysterious chairman, he was now the top person in Yunfeng Group.

He didn't need to bow to anyone, yet his attitude towards this young man was surprising.

Due to strict confidentiality, apart from the company's board members, no one knew who the chairman of Yunfeng Group was.

Even people within the group didn't know, let alone outsiders like Xuanxuan.

The information they could get was mostly scattered rumors, with no knowledge of the true insider's identity.

At this moment, she had a bold guess.

Could he be the chairman of Yunfeng Company?

She was still wearing his coat, and thinking of this, Xuanxuan's cheeks flushed.

But Xuanxuan quickly dismissed the thought. Although he had an outstanding demeanor, his clothes were cheap, not at all like a leader of a large corporation.

Who was he really?

At this moment, Zheng Guozhong finished briefly introducing the situation of Mengsi Group.

Ye Feng had a clear understanding and instructed Zheng Guozhong, "Old Zheng, if you think it's good, arrange for someone to negotiate as soon as possible."

"And, I don't want to see something like what happened today again."

After speaking, he slowly turned around, directly facing Xuanxuan.

Ye Feng's appearance fell into Xuanxuan's eyes, and she was shocked.

It was him?
