Chapter 111: Inextricably Linked (12)
A few words from an employee seem to explain the emergence and existence of this seemingly irrational phenomenon.
"The members of the MLM organization know that they are engaged in MLM, but who went to the police?"
"When Wen Zhong punishes employees with electric shocks, he never does it himself, but asks other employees to do it. It can be said that all employees have hurt each other, and all of them are accomplices of Wen Zhong. If we call the police, will we all be trapped?"
"Wen Zhong's brainwashing education for us has been very successful. Every employee who quits or runs away will subconsciously think that he is 'cowardly' and has no sense of obedience or execution, and even has an inexplicable sense of guilt for betraying the boss and the company."
The decline in sales and the successive withdrawal of employees have finally brought the company's management back to its original model. But after returning to the right track, Wen Zhong obviously lost interest in managing the company, and often did not see others in the company, and he handed over many large and small affairs to Shi Ji.
But when asked further about the details of Shi Ji and his whereabouts, no one knew, only said that this person was taciturn, and at a glance he knew that he was the kind of character who "didn't talk much".
An employee provided a piece of information, but if this information was available, it was equivalent to nothing: Shi Ji once opened a barbecue stall on the night snack street in the south of Qinghe City, but then it didn't open again. As for when it didn't open, he couldn't say.
The employee was eating supper when he saw Shi Ji. He never imagined that Shi Ji, who was entrusted by the boss to handle the affairs of the seed company, would be in the company during the day and sell barbecue at night.
The employees didn't know the relationship between Shi Ji and Wen Zhong, and they all thought that Shi Ji should be a boss if he was not too big or small, but no one thought that he would be a barbecue stall owner. They even guessed that Boss Wen probably planned to give the company to Shi Ji, so they asked him to familiarize themselves with the situation in advance, but after a long time, they determined that Shi Ji was really just here to "do chores" for Boss Wen.
When Shi Ji met the employee at the supper stall, he neither showed any enthusiasm nor showed any embarrassment, only asked him for a few strings, but after he was done, he confiscated the money, saying that he had invited him.
The employee finally said that other barbecue stalls sell beef, sheep, chicken, fish, and vegetables, but his barbecue stall only sells one thing - muntjac meat. But it tastes very good, chewy, and wild, so even if the price is high, it is also a booming business, and many times you have to wait in line to eat a few skewers.
The police wanted to draw a portrait of Shi Ji based on the memories of the employees, but no one remembered what he looked like. The same is true in "landmine villages".
At the same time, the police visited the street of supper, trying to collect information related to history, but most of the shopkeepers and stall owners did not remember him. The few still have an impression, but it is also because the muntjac meat he barbecued is unique in flavor, as for his personal understanding and impression, they basically don't know.
This makes Shi Ji's information always blank in the police, and it is not even certain whether he is dead or alive.
Finally, another employee added that in the later stages of this inhumane management model, Wen Zhong seemed to be becoming more and more obsessed with electric shock punishment.
Before the electric shock punishment was invented, Wen Zhong punished employees mainly because the punished object violated the company's discipline, or there was a behavior that was not controlled by Wen Zhong. But as employees adapt to this management model, they have fewer and fewer opportunities to be punished.
After that, Wen Zhong proposed a new rule: the sales performance will be ranked every day, and the last three will be punished with electric shocks.
A person who doesn't care much about whether the company's operation can increase his personal wealth, and the purpose of the daily performance ranking rule is obviously a bit "drunkard's intention is not to drink". Wen Zhong's goal is not to stimulate sales growth through electric shock punishment, but only to be able to apply electric shock punishment.
At the same time, all the electric shock punishments in the company must be completed in front of Wen Zhong's eyes. In the process of watching, he will be extremely attentive and engaged, like a child watching a cartoon, and he will appear extremely engrossed
Note, and will laugh from time to time while watching, self-absorbed.
The only thing that could divert Wen Zhong's attention from the electric shock punishment seemed to be talking on the phone with the girl.
Sometimes, in the process of talking on the phone, Wen Zhong would use gestures to instruct his employees to give electric shocks to the punished objects, but when he was chatting energetically, he would often forget to make the gesture to stop the electric shocks, which made many punished objects suffer many unwarranted disasters, and even almost died.
The employee was more sure that the girl who talked to Wen Zhong on the phone would not be Wen Zhong's wife.
"That greasy look is definitely not his wife. I've heard the tone of his conversation with his wife on the phone, it's all the old man calling the maid, and it's often concise and impatient, and the call is very short, less than two minutes."
"When he was on the phone, he often called different girls' names, and it was obvious that he was talking to more than one girl on the phone. And the tone and content of each girl's speech are different, but they all seem to have a good chat with each other and are very engaged."
Initially, the subject of the punishment will let out various screams and wails when they are subjected to electric shocks. But Wen Zhong often talked to the girls on the phone while watching, and stipulated that all those who received electric shocks were not allowed to scream, otherwise the electric shock time would be extended or the number of electric shocks would be increased.
Thus, for a short but long period of time, in the five-story building, in the office area on the second floor, the torture of electric shocks was staged almost every day.
These seem to explain the reason for the origin of the electric chair in the basement: Wen Zhong is just a hobby. As for whether there have been people who have "sitted" on this electric chair, and who have "sitted", these are a mystery for the time being.
According to the timeline, Wen Zhong still had a marital relationship with Chen Huaian during the period when he was punished with electric shocks to the company's employees. The employee's feedback seems to explain the reasons for their dissolution of the marriage. But after Wen Zhong and Ning Keqing got married and divorced, what would be the reason? Or does Wen Zhong have a habit of splitting his legs?
This speculation is highly controversial.
Within the Qinghe City police, some people believe that this possibility exists.
Others are negative about this possibility. They believe that Chen Huai'an and Ning Keqing, the disappearance of their two families is very likely to be related to Wen Zhong, and to put it bluntly, it is very likely that Wen Zhong "made" these two families disappear. If Wen Zhong was only found out by the woman because of his habitual splitting of his legs, resulting in the breakdown of the two marital relationships before and after, there would be no need for him to "let the woman's family" disappear.
The disappearance of the two women's respective families, as well as the disappearance of Ruan Xingzhu and Qu Zhenggang, all of these people who are close to Wen Zhong have such a strange ending, combined with the basement like a "scum hole", which naturally makes the police lock Wen Zhong as the "maker" of these strange endings by default. This is an uncontroversial consensus within the police.
As an "outsider", Li Zhudao, as an observer at the case analysis meeting, remained silent at the meeting.
At this point of investigation, Wen Zhong's personal characteristics, or his hobbies, seem to have become traceable.
This person is keen to incite and demagogue, and his purpose is to manipulate people's minds and dominate others. He seems to enjoy the process of dominating others.
When I was a student, I participated in debate tournaments to exercise my eloquence, which was an indispensable basic skill to convince others to "dominate others".
Serving as the head of the discipline inspection department of the student union is another manifestation of his enjoyment of "dominating others"; Persuading Liu to join the class to write a report letter and replace Teacher Liao from the position of class teacher is also a further manifestation of "dominating others"; Experimenting with a management model similar to that of a pyramid scheme organization within the company has exposed his interest and pleasure in "dominating others". Look at the book
At the same time, in the process of Wen Zhong's growth and experience, the hobby of abusing cats, skinning frogs, and obsessed with electric shocks all indicate that this person has a brutal personality, loves "blood", and seems to have a strong interest in violence against others. Violence against others seems to be an important means used by Wen Zhong to "dominate others".
Passionate about violence, there is no doubt that he is loyal to the young
It is related to domestic violence. He went from being a victim of domestic violence to being an abuser.
All of people's emotions are seeking to be understood, and if those painful feelings are never understood during the upbringing, then they may let others experience the pain they have experienced in a way that makes them understand and understand. Over time, this way of letting others experience violence against others will gradually evolve into personal behavior patterns and even develop into hobbies.
Most people almost instinctively want to "transfer" the hurt to someone else. This type of person is often immersed in the shadow of being hurt and cannot extricate himself (or does not realize it), they are often extreme and irrational. Only when they themselves suddenly realize that they are in the shadow of being hurt under certain conditions, and come out, will they be gentle in their hearts and indifferent. There is no doubt that Wen Zhong does not belong to the latter.
From another point of view, there are two conditions for human aggression and violence, one is imitation and the other is reinforcement. A child who grows up in a domestic violence environment is exposed to violence, what he sees and accepts, then what he learns and is interested in is violence. This is an inseparable causal link.
In short, the violence in domestic violence is transitive and continuous.
