Chapter 627: Chapter 627: Getting Fired

Colleagues looked at the smug expression on Song Tianyou’s face and didn’t know what to say to him.

They could only let him check out Weibo for himself.

Once he had browsed through Weibo, he would know what was going on.

Knowing what was going on was one thing.

But he simply couldn’t accept the outcome.

"No, this can’t be possible!"

Song Tianyou shook his head and flailed about, as if the world was crumbling around him.

Alright, it was his composure that had crumbled.

He thought he had captured Shi Yaoguang’s private life.

Caught her deliberately bullying a few old men.

Completely devoid of the virtue of respecting the elderly and caring for the young.

Not only that, but she also pretended to be nice in front of the public, as if she was especially kind to others.

It was all too much.

Unexpectedly.

The reality was not like that at all.

Respecting the elderly and caring for the young, she had that!

Of course, the most important aspect of this matter was not whether she respected and cared for the elderly or not.

Rather, the entire incident was not at all what he had thought.

When he saw what his drone had captured, he thought that several old men had been bullied by Shi Yaoguang and even had to kneel before her.

The reason why he didn’t capture their kneeling to Shi Yaoguang wasn’t because they hadn’t kneeled.

It was simply because the drone didn’t capture that part.

In his mind, Shi Yaoguang definitely was that type of unscrupulous star who bullied old people.

Unexpectedly, the truth was completely different from what he had imagined.

Shi Yaoguang wasn’t the kind of person who would bully elderly folks at all.

Moreover, each of those old men was as significant as Mount Tai.

They were not people he could easily expose.

Originally, to him, they were just a few old guys.

Not important at all, just part of the backdrop.

That’s why he didn’t pixelate the faces of the elderly men.

Now, great.

Those old men came forward and claimed their identities.

And they boldly told everyone who exactly they were.

Each one of them was a mainstay of the research institute.

Even though they were older, their importance had not diminished in the slightest.

Instead, because of their age, their knowledge was even more abundant than the average person’s.

They were even more popular among the people.

In other words, those old guys were the treasures of the research institute.

If their own elderly were bullied, they indeed had to restore their honor!

Just like that.

With everyone’s collective effort, the old men quickly received verification on Weibo.

Then, after they posted pictures and recorded videos to prove their identity, they expressed their support for Shi Yaoguang.

They personally testified that Shi Yaoguang had not bullied them but, on the contrary, it was they who wished for Shi Yaoguang to join their research institute.

This was a slap in the face of epic proportions.

There was nothing more humiliating than this.

The netizens who had initially believed Song Tianyou’s one-sided story and questioned Shi Yaoguang’s character all felt a burning on their faces.

How was Shi Yaoguang bullying people?

If they could, they too would like to be "bullied" like this!

Alas, that was merely wishful thinking.

Perhaps, one day, their dreams would come true in their sleep.

Leaving those thoughts aside, with these old chaps’ certification, there was no longer a need for a lengthy verification of Shi Yaoguang’s character.

Instead, it was Song the Great.

Because he had exposed information that wasn’t true, misleading a portion of netizens.

After the true nature of the incident was revealed, he became the target of public criticism.

"Song the Great, if you’re so capable, stop playing dead!"

"If you’re capable of slandering others, come out in the open! If you’re capable of being a keyboard warrior online, have the guts to expose yourself!"

"What are you doing hiding behind others and scheming against them? If you think you’re not wrong, then expose your own identity!"

Under the calls of the netizens, Song the Great finally no longer felt that having lots of attention meant everything was fine.

He now had attention, but this attention had become a burden for him.

He simply couldn’t bear the collective fury of the multitude of netizens.

His colleagues, looking at Song the Great’s pale face, didn’t feel any sympathy for him.

Forget about being a fan of Shi Yaoguang; even if he weren’t, he couldn’t stand Song the Great’s practice of exposing others’ privacy.

His actions were wrong, both morally and legally.

The manager didn’t have Weibo, but...

Just by looking at Song the Great and his colleagues’ expressions, he knew what had happened.

He immediately delivered the coup de grâce without mercy, "Since Song Tianyou, you’ve made it onto the Weibo hot search, I suppose our small company no longer fits your grandeur."

"I’ll have finance settle your wages afterward."

If the manager’s words had been said minutes earlier,

Song the Great wouldn’t have felt stifled and uncomfortable; on the contrary, he would have been overjoyed.

Or perhaps, if it wasn’t the manager who had said those words, but Song the Great himself.

It wasn’t that he was being fired, but rather the company decided to let him go.

Now, however...

He was deflated.

Ask him why he had been working at this company for so long?

Was it because the company had good welfare and treatment?

Or was there some other reason that made him unable to leave this company?

No, none of those.

The main reason was that he had no other place to go besides this company.

Song the Great indeed looked down on this company, in all aspects.

But...

If you asked him to leave this company and find a job somewhere else, he wouldn’t have been able to find one.

The company and he, as an employee, both looked down on each other, yet couldn’t leave each other.

No.

This was actually Song the Great’s own thinking.

He couldn’t leave the company, but the company could operate just as well without him.

In the end, it was still him who overestimated his importance.

The company had not fired him all this time only because they thought he was a long-term employee, and they were worried he would have nowhere to go if let go.

After the manager finished talking about firing him, he couldn’t help but start begging the manager, hoping the latter would give him another chance.

"Manager, I’ve been in the company for so many years, I might not have merits but I’ve toiled, could you not fire me? I’m begging you!"

"Do you think, for all these years you’ve been incompetent, why the company hasn’t fired you?"

After saying that, the manager’s tone carried a hint of mockery.

"Do you really think that without you, the company couldn’t operate? What a joke!"

"It’s just that we saw you as a long-term employee and didn’t want to make you unemployed with nowhere to go."

The manager said these words to Song the Great while glancing at the colleague.

The colleague silently raised his hand, promising, "I’ve always treated the company like my own home! Even if there are issues at home, I wouldn’t complain about anything, rest assured, manager, I will be completely devoted to the company."

On hearing this, the manager nodded in satisfaction.

No longer wanting to look at Song the Great, he ordered him to go settle his wages with finance and then turned and walked away.

Song the Great watched his retreating figure, a trace of hatred flashing in his eyes.

He hated the manager for his lack of humanity, and he hated Shi Yaoguang even more.

If it weren’t for Shi Yaoguang, he wouldn’t have ended up in this state.
