Chapter 970: A Snowflake

Danda Group.

A 36-story self-owned office building, its blue glass façade shimmering like a halo in the sunlight.

In front of the building lay a large open plaza, a shared resource of the park, but since the park was built by Danda, the best locations were reserved for themselves.

Noon.

Several entrances of the office building opened simultaneously, and crowds of social elites surged out like excited sheep escaping from a multi-level luxury pen, flooding toward the surrounding welfare zones to spend their unclaimed income for the day.

Some, with high spending habits, who liked to treat others to meals, or were conditioned by their partners, even used income that had been shorn over several days to enthusiastically entertain their partners.

Chen Kunfu was just such an ordinary white-collar worker.

Like ordinary employees at large companies in recent years, Chen Kunfu graduated from a common key high school, scored an average high mark placing him in the top 50 of his grade, then graduated from an ordinary 985 university, became a graduate student under an ordinary professor, completed two ordinary projects during school, declined his professor’s ordinary invitation, and after ordinary mass resume submissions and a total of five rounds of interviews, finally became an ordinary employee at Danda Group.

After four years of ordinary 996 work, Chen Kunfu had become an ordinary supervisor in his department, responsible for all ordinary tasks and especially urgent ordinary tasks.

Chen Kunfu was fairly satisfied with this ordinary life, even though many of his coworkers were idiots, many of the company’s leaders were idiots, the department’s rules were idiotic, and the company’s strategies were full of idiocy.

But they idiotically paid salaries, and Chen Kunfu could still accept this circularly idiotic life.

Chen Kunfu bought a little food at a convenience store, found a scenic bench, and slowly ate his meal.

Laughter and roughhousing sounds came from his side.

Chen Kunfu looked closely—it was three idiot male managers from his floor, along with three female subordinates they had hired with large chests.

Chen Kunfu sneered, too lazy to even look again.

These three male managers had already been warned after being reported twice for sexual harassment; one more incident and they’d be reassigned like previous managers to lower-tier subsidiaries.

Then they’d naturally have no further contact with Chen Kunfu.

Of course, the group might send three more similar idiot managers, who’d hire new subordinates according to their personal preferences, and at least go through three more rounds…

Chen Kunfu shook his head. None of this concerned him; the adjacent department didn’t do much work anyway and rarely interacted with him. If trouble arose, he’d just endure the pressure.

Ah!

A woman’s startled cry came from behind.

Chen Kunfu sighed helplessly, thinking: These people have zero patience—already abusing power to oppress subordinates, now they’re resorting to coercion too?

Still chewing his sandwich, Chen Kunfu turned around reluctantly.

He saw the three managers… stacking themselves like human pyramids?

Chen Kunfu stood up to look closer. Not only was it strange why these perverts suddenly became so perverted, but where had these extra people stacking with them come from?

“Police!” A low voice sounded beside him: “Show me your ID.”

“Huh?” Chen Kunfu stood up: “What’s going on?”

“Your ID. Thank you for your cooperation.” The officer saluted politely, but allowed no leeway in his demand, even eyeing Chen Kunfu with suspicion.

“I don’t have my ID on me.” Chen Kunfu paused, then asked: “What did they do?”

“Wait a moment—I’ll do a facial recognition.” The officer took a photo of Chen Kunfu; his personal information instantly popped up on the software.

The officer sized Chen Kunfu up, then said: “Alright, you’re clear. You may leave. Don’t tell anyone what you saw, and absolutely no sharing videos or recordings—our investigation is still ongoing. If your actions interfere with the case, the police will hold you accountable.”

“Got it. I didn’t take any photos.” Chen Kunfu muttered, turned, and walked away.

Soon, three female colleagues who had just joined recently caught up to him, still shaken, asking about what had happened.

Chen Kunfu himself was confused—how could he explain any of it? He just shook his head: “Report it to your department head.”

“Should we get a lawyer?”

“Can your boss handle the police?”

“They arrested them right outside Danda?”

The three female colleagues had watched the arrests up close and felt the shock more intensely, so their emotional output was stronger.

Chen Kunfu said nothing, even secretly pleased inside.

Three scumbag managers—always wandering around the building like layabouts, shirking all work—better they got arrested!

Back in the Danda office building, he clearly noticed some people’s expressions were abnormal.

Chen Kunfu frowned, told the three women to go up on their own, and waited a moment. Soon, a familiar external gate staff member approached.

“Old Wang, someone got arrested—you know about it?” Chen Kunfu offered his information first.

“How would I know? They arrested him right in front of me.” Old Wang, clearly eager to talk, glanced around and whispered: “My manager—you remember him? Calling him brain-dead is too gentle. Then someone just knocked him down, his head hit the ground—thud!”

“Your manager got arrested too?” Chen Kunfu was stunned.

“Too? Your manager got arrested too?” Old Wang was stunned.

Chen Kunfu slowly shook his head and described what he’d seen. They exchanged a look, then both hurried toward the elevator.

Today’s incident was clearly no small matter.

Inside the elevator, all the Danda employees had varied expressions; many were frantically typing on WeChat.

Chen Kunfu’s brow twitched—he quickly checked his work group.

Normally, during lunch break, he deliberately avoided checking groups to protect his rare rest time from being stolen by his boss.

Today was different. Chen Kunfu opened WeChat and saw several private messages.

Several photos and screenshots showed the arrests were far from rare.

Chen Kunfu felt a chill.

How many people had they arrested?

Looking at the main group, someone had written: 【The office building is locked down—only in, no out. This is going to be huge.】

Chen Kunfu shrank back, recalling the scene at the entrance—he now realized the security guards had seemed unusually unfamiliar.

Messages kept flooding the group:

【Manager Wang was taken away.】

【The Nanping construction site has been sealed.】

【That finance director is insane—he swung a big sword around, and several police officers couldn’t get close, while inside, papers were being shredded Kaka .】

【How many papers were shredded?】

【Not many—two officers picked up chairs and smashed his head open.】

Chen Kunfu was engrossed when his desk phone suddenly rang.

This was an internal company line. Chen Kunfu shuddered and answered quickly, whispering: “Hello…”

“Chen Kunfu? It’s Li Wannian. Come to my office.” The director introduced himself, then hung up.

Chen Kunfu walked into the director’s office with trepidation.

As a low-level supervisor, Chen Kunfu rarely interacted with the director.

Li Wannian sized Chen Kunfu up, then said: “Starting today, you’re in charge of all work in Market Department Three.”

“Huh? Why?”

“Why? The manager and deputy manager of Department Three were both arrested. You’re now the highest-ranking person left. Do a good job—if the company doesn’t go under, you’ll be the manager!” Li Wannian waved his hand irritably, too annoyed to even bother with his usual PUA.
