**One Kick Girl — Chapter 202:
"CC: Everyone"**
Visibility warfare • Inbox spectacle • Raon learns the crowd is a weapon
1. The CC Appears
The email landed with weight.
Subject:
Quick Clarification
CC:
– Leadership
– Finance
– Ops
– Legal
– Someone who left the company in 2022
Raon stared.
"…Why is my aunt here."
Shion leaned over. "Because fear loves witnesses."
2. The Message Itself
The body read:
Just looping everyone in for visibility.
Raon growled. "Visibility of WHAT."
Shion replied, "Of insecurity."
3. The Immediate Effect
Replies stopped.
Instantly.
The inbox went quiet.
Raon whispered, "They're scared to speak."
"Yes," Shion said. "Public emails freeze weak arguments."
4. Raon's Instinct Kicks In
Raon cracked her knuckles.
"I'll reply all."
Shion caught her wrist.
"Careful. CC is a blade. You don't swing wildly."
5. The Perfect Response
Shion typed slowly.
Thanks for looping everyone in.
For clarity, the agreed scope and timeline remain unchanged.
Please see summary below.
Happy to discuss live if needed.
She hit Reply All.
Raon exhaled. "That felt… loud."
"It was," Shion said. "But clean."
6. The Crowd Reacts
A minute passed.
Then another reply.
From Legal.
Confirming Shion's summary is accurate.
Raon's eyes widened.
"Legal sided with us."
Shion nodded. "They hate ambiguity more than conflict."
7. The Retreat
The original sender replied.
Got it, thanks everyone.
No emoji.
No follow-up.
Raon grinned. "They folded."
Shion closed the thread. "Public defeat."
8. The Aftertaste
Raon leaned back.
"So CC isn't always bad?"
Shion replied, "It's neutral. Intent decides."
Raon nodded slowly.
"…I like it."
9. The Counter-Invite
A calendar notification popped up.
Subject:
Quick 1:1
Raon froze.
"…Is that revenge."
Shion stood. "No."
"…What is it."
"Damage control."
10. Shion's Rule
Shion grabbed her notebook.
"Never say no to a 1:1 after a CC."
Raon blinked. "Why."
"So they can't claim you're uncooperative."
Raon sighed. "This is exhausting."
Shion smiled faintly.
"Welcome to influence."
