The young man standing opposite him was also wearing the uniform of an agency and was in his twenties. His tie had been torn askew, and his shirt was torn at the shoulders and had threads sticking out. It looked like it had been torn by force.

He held an alloy folding chair tightly in his hand and glared at the manager standing opposite, his eyes red, like an injured beast waiting to fight back.

Seeing this, Hu Pingtao quickened his pace and walked between the two of them, and shouted sternly at the young man: "Put down what you are holding."

The young man turned a deaf ear, pointed his right hand at the middle-aged man standing opposite, and roared: "Come on, you bastard! I'm quitting. I'm not afraid even if the police come. Anyway, I will beat you to death today."

!”

A flash of fear flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes. He quickly adjusted his mentality and pointed at the other side and cursed: "You stupid bastard, I can't even say a few words to you. What do you want to do?"

The young man stared at him with red eyes: "I will pay for my tablet, not even a cent less."

The middle-aged man took advantage of the presence of the police and refused without thinking: "For a few (***, I will fire you right now."

When the young man heard this, he became angry and picked up the chair and threw it towards the opposite side. Seeing that the situation was not good, Hu Pingtao quickly dodged and dodged. Before the chair in the young man's hand fell from the air, he grabbed his arm with his backhand and pulled it back.

A substantial folding chair was intercepted from the sky.

Looking at the opposite side, the middle-aged man was so frightened that he shrank back one after another and almost turned around and escaped.

Hu Pingtao firmly held the struggling young man tightly, and said patiently and in a threatening tone: "Don't be so impulsive. Even big things can be solved. It's reasonable to be reasonable. As long as no one is hurt, no matter what the problem is, it will be solved."

You can talk about it. But like you just did, once you see blood or break a bone, it won't be the same no matter how reasonable you are."

"Fine and detention are light. If the court decides to go to jail, your life will be over and your family will be implicated."

"Think about it carefully, is it worth it?"

The young man had a dejected look on his face. He loosened his grip and fell backwards, leaning against the wall, slowly sliding down and collapsing on the ground.

Several colleagues who were usually good friends with him hurriedly came over to comfort him in low voices.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man with the "Manager" sign on his chest became arrogant again. He pointed at the depressed young man with a fierce expression on his face: "Your salary for this month will be counted as today. Get out, get out now!"

"

"Shut up!" Hu Pingtao suddenly shouted at him: "If you do this again, I won't care. Let you solve it on your own."

The middle-aged man trembled all over, and wanted to yell back, but looking at the black uniform on Hu Pingtao, and thinking about the moment when the young man desperately picked up the chair and threw it at him, he had no choice but to say what he said.

Swallowed it hard.

Hu Pingtao opened the record book and looked at him deeply: "What's your name?"

"My name is He Xiangdong." The middle-aged man quickly replied: "I am the manager of this real estate agency."

Without waiting for Hu Pingtao to continue asking questions, he raised his hand and pointed at the young man sitting on the ground opposite: "His name is Tang Jie, and he is an employee of mine. He came here in February this year, and he has not even worked here for half a year."

Hu Pingtao quickly recorded it on the paper, raised his head, and glanced at the young man: "Your name is Tang Jie?"

He struggled to stand up from the ground and nodded heavily: "Yes."

Hu Pingtao asked: "Tell me, what's going on?"

Before Tang Jie could open his mouth, He Xiangdong rushed to answer. He was full of energy and his tone of voice was full of unquestionable majesty: "That's right, Longyuan Real Estate is a large enterprise with a strong cultural heritage and super strength. We are a real estate company. We are the leader in the intermediary industry, so we have very high requirements for our employees. On the one hand, academic qualifications, and on the other hand, ability. Whoever wants to join our company must pass the assessment and meet the requirements before they can join."

Hu Pingtao was a little surprised by the opening remarks of his eloquent talk. He frowned and said, "If you have something to do, just talk about it. Why are you talking to me about this?"

He Xiangdong hurriedly explained: "I have to let you understand the cause and effect... Okay, okay, okay, since you don't like to hear it, I will tell you straight away. Let's take you as an example! You are a policeman and a public official, no matter what Whether you are working or taking a break, you must obey the arrangements of your unit and follow the rules, right?"

Although he didn't understand what he wanted to express, Hu Pingtao still nodded slightly - after all, there was nothing wrong with what he said from a logical point of view.

He Xiangdong became even louder: "Working from nine to five, with a lunch break, these are all fixed. It's the same in our company, clock in at 8:30 in the morning, go home at 5 in the afternoon, eat at 12 noon, go to work at 1, and have lunch Even the lunch break adds up to one hour... Well, look, this schedule is posted on the wall!"

As he said that, he turned sideways and pointed to the wall next to him, where a large chart hung. Indeed, as Xiangdong said, the commuting time was very clear.

Hu Pingtao lowered his head and recorded: "Then what? Go on."

He Xiangdong swallowed and pointed at Tang Jie who was standing opposite: "Just after lunch today, he took out a tablet and lay on the table to play. Think about it, this is a company! It's an employer! You said that when you usually play at home, no one will care about you, because that is your freedom. But it is different now, how can you play video games in the company? "

Hu Pingtao raised his head and asked: "Why, your company has regulations that you cannot play games during the lunch break?"

He Xiangdong opened his mouth and answered without thinking: "Yes! It definitely won't work! The lunch break is only for that little time. If you are tired, just take a rest and take a nap so that you have the energy to do things in the afternoon. Besides, your playing games will also affect the people around you. People, all of them haven’t even eaten yet, and they’re all crowding around to watch you play games, what are you talking about!”

"I said a few words casually, but not only did he not listen, he insisted on confronting me."

"I asked him to put away the tablet, but he didn't listen."

"I told you to go home if you wanted to play, but he said what right did I have to fire him?"

"I became angry as soon as I heard this. I am a manager after all, so I still have some power. Besides, since the company has handed over this agency to me, I must be responsible for it. I have to lead the team well. If everyone can With him like this, can the company still do its business?"

"So I rushed over and smashed his tablet."

"I asked him to suspend his duties and go home to reflect, write an inspection, and deeply reflect on his wrong behavior. This kind of matter must be dealt with seriously, otherwise he will not be able to do his job."

Hearing this, Hu Pingtao subconsciously stopped the pen in his hand, raised his head, and asked doubtfully: "Did you smash his tablet?"

He Xiangdong nodded matter-of-factly: "Yes! If you play this at work, you must smash it."

Hu Pingtao did not argue with him. He shifted his gaze and looked at Tang Jie, who had been standing opposite for a long time in silence. He pointed at He Xiangdong with the pen in his hand: "Are what he just said true?"

Tang Jie looked indifferent: "...Yes."

Hu Pingtao continued to ask: "Do you have anything to add?"

"Yes... of course!" Tang Jie took a deep breath, stared at He Xiangdong with his bloodshot eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Why did you hit my tablet?"

He Xiangdong opened his mouth and spat out: "What do you do wrong during lunch break, you have to play video games? If I don't smash it, why do you still keep it?"

Tang Jie sneered and said: "Do you think this is in your own home? Let me tell you the truth - no matter how you smashed it, you can give it back to me. Not a penny less!"

He Xiangdong also became angry: "You are playing games against the rules. I am the manager and I have the right to deal with it."

Tang Jie said coldly: "Hey, please listen to me. This tablet is my personal belongings, not company property. When I bought it last year, it cost more than 6,000 and nearly 7,000 yuan. I will return the invoice."

Keep it. Now that the police are here, I don’t intend to make a big deal out of it. I’ll give you two options: either you buy an identical model of the same model and pay me back, or you pay according to the number on the invoice at that time, and forget about it.

It’s over.”

He Xiangdong never dreamed that Tang Jie would say such a thing. He was shocked and angry, and said in disbelief: "You violated the rules by playing games, and you asked me to compensate you? You..."

Tang Jie interrupted him unceremoniously and said disdainfully: "Don't keep talking about "company regulations." I have memorized the company's articles of association. Which rule says you can't bring tablets? Which rule?

You said you can’t play games during lunch break? Point it out to me!”

He Xiangdong's chest rose and fell sharply, and he argued angrily: "Some rules and regulations do not have to be written on paper before they must be followed."

Tang Jie's thinking was very quick: "Don't just talk about the rules. Are you the one who made the rules? You alone have the final say? I received a pamphlet when I first joined the company, and I have memorized all the regulations on it!"

There is no such thing as not being allowed to play games during lunch break. He Xiangdong, please understand that this is not your private territory."

He Xiangdong glared at Tang Jie: "If you are not satisfied, get out of here."

Tang Jie still persisted and refused to give in: "Give me the tablet."

He Xiangdong turned a deaf ear and raised his hand towards the door: "Get out, get out now."

These words immediately angered everyone on Tang Jie's side.

"Why! Xiao Tang didn't make any mistakes, why do you have to fire him?"

"What's wrong with playing on your tablet at noon? You're not using your phone to watch short videos. What's the difference between this and playing games?"

"That's it, don't think that just because you have a manager sign, everyone has to let you go."

Amid everyone's words, Tang Jie turned around and walked to the desk, bent down to pick up a smashed tablet from the ground, and came to Hu Pingtao.

"Look, he smashed it with a hammer, and it's so rotten that it can't be used anymore."

Hu Pingtao took the tablet and looked at it carefully. It was indeed as Tang Jie said, it was smashed so thoroughly that even if it was returned to the factory to replace parts and casing, it could not be repaired.

He Xiangdong was angry and anxious: "Tang Jie, don't change your concept with me! When you first entered the company, I conducted special training for newcomers like you. I made it very clear at that time - as long as

You are not allowed to play games in the company. Although there is no such thing in the company regulations, as long as you are in this agency, you must obey the management as I said."

"I made it clear that I am going to kill someone today to make an example to others."

Tang Jie stared at his face twisted with anger and asked coldly: "Do you want to compensate or not?"

"I'll pay you a coin!" He Xiangdong cursed without thinking.

Tang Jie was silent and turned around to get the alloy folding chair he had thrown on the ground.

When Hu Pingtao saw that the situation was getting worse, he quickly stood in the middle to dissuade him, even threatening and ordering: "Young man, don't be so impulsive. Put down the chair and say what you have to say."

Tang Jie hesitated a little, did not continue the action just now, and froze on the spot.

Hu Pingtao turned to He Xiangdong: "I understand. Your company is not allowed to play games during lunch break. This is a rule you understand and set yourself, right?"

He Xiangdong argued forcefully: "It is impossible for the company to stipulate everything clearly. I am the manager here, and I have to be responsible for the top and bottom, so..."

"That's enough! Stop talking." Hu Pingtao raised his hand to interrupt him: "If the company explicitly prohibits it, then you still have some sense in today's matter. Just like smoking in public places is explicitly prohibited, anyone can

It can be stopped. But this matter is different. Your approach is too extreme. Although you have your own opinions and reasons, in essence, it is disrespectful to others."

He Xiangdong was anxious: "Why don't I respect him? It's obviously..."

"Okay, don't argue with me." Hu Pingtao patiently advised: "Hurry up, either pay for the tablet or pay for it."

"Why?" He Xiangdong's face turned pale.

Hu Pingtao explained: "What you are doing is damaging other people's property. You can stop him from playing games, but you can't smash other people's things! A tablet costs more than 6,000 and nearly 7,000 yuan, but it is your quilt."

If it's smashed, do you feel comfortable? Will you listen to others' lessons honestly?"

"Don't say I didn't remind you: a case value of three thousand yuan can be opened. Your case has more than doubled. I just checked the phone number and it was you who called the police. Now that we have arrived at the scene, the first step is to conduct

Mediation. Since you have this attitude, let me ask you: Since you don’t accept mediation, do you want criminal prosecution?”

"You said you are the manager here, so I just want to ask: What is the act of smashing someone's computer?"

He Xiangdong was speechless when asked.

At this time, Tang Jie said coldly: "Don't think that I don't know anything. In today's matter, whether or not I play games is not the important thing. You see Yang Hong usually walking around me, but today I turned on the tablet and she followed me

I came over to see it and felt uncomfortable, so I took advantage of company rules and deliberately wanted to embarrass me and fired me by the way."

As he said that, Tang Jie pointed to a young woman standing next to him: "Yang Hong came here last month. She is still in college, and the reason why she comes here to work is for work-study. Yang Hong and I usually go to King's Poison

, Besides, I have a girlfriend, and I don’t have any thoughts about Yang Hong."
