Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. Zhang Moumou works in a company and chats with a male colleague on WeChat The content is too ambiguous. These chat logs were unfortunately discovered by the male colleague's wife, and she was very angry, and took screenshots of these chat logs and posted them to her circle of friends.

The matter quickly spread within the company and among affiliated companies, causing widespread concern and discussion. The company's management attached great importance to this matter, believing that Zhang's behavior had seriously damaged the company's reputation and working environment, so it decided to terminate the labor contract with her.

Zhang Moumou expressed dissatisfaction with the company's decision, believing that he had been treated unfairly. As a result, she filed an arbitration application with the Hangzhou Xiacheng District Arbitration Commission, demanding that the company pay compensation of 59,139 yuan and compensation of 1,944 yuan for three days of unused annual leave. However, the arbitration committee did not support her request.

Zhang Moumou did not give up, and she filed a lawsuit with the Xiacheng District People's Court of Hangzhou. At the trial, she insisted that she was the real victim and that the company's early termination of the employment relationship was an illegal termination. However, after the trial, the court held that Zhang Moumou failed to grasp the distance between him and his colleagues of the opposite sex, which caused family conflicts among colleagues, and the content of WeChat chats was ** to WeChat Moments and spread within a certain range, especially among several affiliated companies, including Company B. According to the company's rules and regulations and the provisions of the labor contract, the company has the right to terminate the labor contract with her. Therefore, the court dismissed her claim.

Zhang Moumou was still not satisfied, and appealed to the Hangzhou Intermediate People's Court. After the trial, the court upheld the original verdict and again dismissed her appeal. In the end, Zhang even applied to the Zhejiang Provincial High People's Court for a retrial, but it was also rejected.

After years of litigation, this case finally ended with Zhang Moumou losing the lawsuit.

It is reported that the male colleague voluntarily resigned because of this incident. Many netizens said that it was a pity that there were no screenshots of chat records, and everyone couldn't judge how ambiguous it was
