D*mn it, this was the seventh floor. One unsteady landing and it would be the end.
Yet the moment I thought of how Sun Dan, that tigress, had crushed me at the company, I gritted my teeth.
To h*ll with it. Back in school I could standing-long-jump over two and a half metres. This distance was nothing!
I shook my head, stretched my arms, squatted a few times to warm up, then slowly climbed onto the narrow balcony railing. Once steady, I frowned.
No good. Even if I jumped, leather shoes would make a loud thud on landing. I’d be discovered instantly, and then I’d be finished.
At that thought, I climbed down at once, kicked off the shoes. Bare soles were softer; the sound would be far quieter.
Back on the railing, I drew a deep breath and leapt.
Wind whistled past my ears. In a flash I cleared the neighbouring balcony, dropped, and rolled forward like a donkey.
Sweat beaded on my forehead. I turned, crouched before the floor-to-ceiling window.
A thick curtain was drawn tight; not a chink of light escaped. I frowned again.
No choice. I edged sideways to the glass door and cautiously peered in.
Director Wang stood there in flowery boxers, his pot belly repulsive. From his briefcase he took a small pill, obviously meant to keep him going later. Nearly fifty, he was no match for two much younger w0men without help.
I raised my phone, tested the video, and was satisfied with the clarity.
Ten minutes later the bathroom door opened. Secretary Zhao emerged first, then Sun Dan.
The air seemed to freeze. Secretary Zhao wore a pink satin slip nightdress; Sun Dan, a black chiffon one. Both were voluptuous, each vying to outshine the other.
“Wow, my darlings, finally done bathing!” Director Wang beamed, eyes gleaming. He rushed forward and seized Sun Dan, k!ssing her wildly.
“Director Wang, not so fast…” Sun Dan gave an awkward laugh, cheeks flushed.
“Manager Sun, still shy? Is this really your first time with Director Wang?” Secretary Zhao chuckled, climbed onto the lavish king-sized bed, and reclined seductively.
“Heh heh, our Dan Dan is indeed meeting me privately for the first time, but I’ll show her what I’m capable of!” Director Wang could wait no longer. He pressed Sun Dan beneath him, lifted her skirt, and buried his head between her thighs.
Glug.
I swallowed hard several times, staring fixedly, my hand trembling as it held the phone.
Explosive. I never imagined Sun Dan had such a figure, and Secretary Zhao was eagerly joining in, taunting Director Wang from time to time.
My nose suddenly stung. I wiped it, only to find bl00d on my fingers. Yet inside, the three had already stripped bare. Thanks to that little pill, Director Wang was vigorous; Sun Dan cried out repeatedly while Secretary Zhao smiled broadly.
Sun Dan, you b*tch. To become director you stoop this low. I’ll make you pay for crossing me.
I seethed inwardly and kept recording. Finally, having taken his fill from Sun Dan, Director Wang turned to Secretary Zhao.
Compared to Sun Dan, Secretary Zhao was clearly more experienced, m0aning with utter abandon.
Forty-odd minutes passed. My phone was nearly dead. I pocketed it hastily, rubbed my hands, climbed back onto the railing, and leapt across once more.
Back in my room, I tidied up and slipped out of the hotel under cover of night.
At home, after washing up, I opened the video. Watching Sun Dan being ravaged by Director Wang, I couldn’t help relieving myself. Only then did I finally release.
Hmph, Sun Dan, your weakness is in my hands now. Let’s see you jump around anymore.
I smiled coldly and slept straight through until morning.
Today we were flying to Hainan on business, so early at the airport I met Zhang Tingmei and Liu Xue.
“Brother Nan!”
“Brother Nan!”
They ran over the moment they saw me in the departure lounge.
“Boarding in about an hour. Have you two eaten breakfast?” I glanced at the time.
“Yes, we have. Did you, Brother Nan?” Zhang Tingmei asked with a gentle smile.
“I ate too.” I sat in an empty seat and took out my phone; the two girls waited quietly beside me.
I logged into my alternate WeChat, added Sun Dan immediately, and waited.
Within minutes she accepted.
Since it was a burner account, she had no idea who I was. Her first message: “Who is this?”
I didn’t bother with pleasantries. I sent a screenshot from the video: Sun Dan pinned beneath Director Wang, face contorted.
“You… who the h*ll are you?” She was clearly rattled.
“Miss Sun, quite impressive. Imagine if I released this video of you and Director Wang to the whole company, or sent it to his wife. What would happen to you?” I typed.
“You… you filmed us secretly! Who are you? I’ll report you to the police!”
“Go ahead and try. See how you keep working at Daifen the next second,” I replied coldly.
Silence for several minutes. Then: “What do you want?”
“I want you to accompany me.”
“You…!” She was furious.
“Refuse, and the video goes public. Decide for yourself.” I added calmly, then, thinking it prudent: “And no telling anyone. Otherwise I’ll drag Director Wang and that other w0man down with me. None of us will see daylight again.”
“Let… let me think.”
“Remember, no tricks. I’ll ruin you completely. Once this kind of office scandal spreads, you’ll never work in the industry again.” Final warning.
“I… I swear I won’t say anything. I’ll cooperate!”
I pocketed the phone with a triumphant smile, but moments later it rang.
Sun Dan.
“Hello?” I answered.
“Lin Nan, where are you?” Her voice was ice.
“At the airport. Something wrong, Manager Sun?”
“This Hainan deal is extremely important to Director Wang. If you don’t close it, don’t bother coming back. And listen well: from now on, no more opinions about me at the company, or I’ll have anyone replace you as supervisor.” She hung up.
Fine, Sun Dan. Still throwing your weight around. The moment you feel threatened, you take it out on me first.
Just you wait.
Fuming inside, I sent another message from the burner account:
“Go to the bathroom right now. Take off your cl0thes and send me several selfies.”
