Chapter 125 The fault-finding colleague, one crooked idea after another.

The two looked at each other and remained silent for a long while.

It wasn't until Xia Yuhuan came to her senses, blinked gently to dispel the icy chill in her eyes, and lowered her gaze to continue looking at the documents in her hands that the oppressive feeling dissipated.

Deng Qili breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Zhao Xiaolan, who was standing nearby, quickly helped her up.

"Sister Qili, are you alright?" Zhao Xiaolan asked with some concern.

Deng Qili came to her senses and gently shook her head: "I'm fine."

It's unbelievable! She was actually intimidated by the look in a little girl's eyes.

But to be honest, Xia Yuhuan's eyes were really scary for that moment.

Even now, Deng Qili still gets chills when she thinks about it.

Who exactly is this Xia Yuhuan? Why does she look so terrifying?

Is she not a parachuted-in nepotism hire, but a truly capable big shot?

Deng Qili was certain she wasn't mistaken; that sharp gaze was something only someone in a high position could possess.

Because of this suspicion, Deng Qili didn't dare to cause any trouble for Xia Yuhuan afterward.

He was always secretly observing Xia Yuhuan.

Xia Yuhuan could naturally sense Deng Qili's spying.

But as long as Deng Qili doesn't cause trouble and come to her, she can ignore her.

Xia Yuhuan continued to focus on her documents.

Time flies when you're focused.

Soon it was time to leave work.

Xia Yuhuan's first day at work went relatively smoothly.

Except for the time when Deng Qili picked a fight with her and she didn't win, she had a smooth life all the time.

When the time came, Xia Yuhuan packed up the documents, picked them up, and left.

Zhao Xiaolan said goodbye to her, and Xia Yuhuan also smiled and said goodbye to her: "See you tomorrow, Xiaolan."

She left the office, and could still faintly hear Deng Qili talking to Zhao Xiaolan.

"Why are you being so polite to her? She's an outsider, who knows if she's a good-for-nothing, a useless bum, or someone who'll just drag us down?" Deng Qili said discontentedly.

Zhao Xiaolan exclaimed, "Really? She's Vice Dean Jiang's apprentice, she must be quite capable, right?"

"Vice Dean Jiang is known for his strictness. Yu Huan must be very outstanding to be his apprentice."

"Who knows? I've never heard of Xia Yuhuan before. It's strange that she suddenly appeared." Deng Qili pouted.

"You'll understand as you get to know her better. Sister Qili, try to tone it down and don't target Yu Huan. She just arrived and hasn't offended you yet," Zhao Xiaolan advised.

Deng Qili snorted and said, "If you want to fawn over her, go ahead. I'm not going to pay her any attention. There's absolutely no way I'd bow down to these incompetent cronies!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhuan lost interest in listening any further and slowly left with the documents in her arms.

She had a feeling that her future career would be quite interesting.

At first glance, Deng Qili seems to have the air of an elite, sophisticated woman, but once she opens her mouth, her image instantly falls apart. She is straightforward, speaks sharply, and lacks tact.

To put it bluntly... he's a bit impulsive and doesn't think things through.

She was sure there were plenty of people in the hospital who were unhappy with her being a newcomer, but only Deng Qili had come to make a scene in front of her. She wouldn't believe it if someone said there was no one instigating it.

However, judging from the current situation, Deng Qili doesn't seem to be a bad person.

Deng Qili's dissatisfaction with her likely stemmed from the fact that she was an outsider brought in through connections, and that she lacked ability—essentially a dissatisfaction stemming from a sense of unworthiness.

This kind of person is actually quite easy to deal with; all it takes is an opportunity, and her strength is enough to conquer Deng Qili.

As Xia Yuhuan pondered, she had already arrived outside the hospital.

Arriving at the place agreed upon with Uncle Yan, Xia Yuhuan got into the car.

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Yan. It's so kind of you to pick me up early after get off work," Xia Yuhuan said apologetically to Yan Hu.

"It's not hard work, since we're all in the same military region anyway," Yan Hu replied.

Xia Yuhuan then asked, "Has Dad gotten off work? Or is he still busy with something?"

Chi Shaokang is actually very busy. He can usually leave work on time, but he has very limited time to go home for dinner.

Even a few times is quite rare.

"Today is alright, not too busy. I'll be done in about fifteen minutes downstairs at the office building. I'll just have to trouble you to wait a bit," Yan Hu said, glancing at his watch.

"It's not hard work at all. I can use this time to look at some documents," Xia Yuhuan replied with a smile.

Yan Hu quickly drove up to the office building.

He went upstairs to find Chi Shaokang and asked Xia Yuhuan if she wanted to go.

Xia Yuhuan declined, saying, "I'll look at some documents in the car and wait for you to come down."

Perhaps because Xia Yuhuan was waiting downstairs, Chi Shaokang and the others came down earlier than Yan Hu had estimated.

"My dear daughter, have you been waiting long? How was your first day at work? Did you get bullied?" Chi Shaokang asked with a smile as soon as he got into the car.

Xia Yuhuan didn't remember when Chi Shaokang started calling her daughter, but there was one time when she suddenly realized how intimate that term of address was.

She quite liked the nickname.

Xia Yuhuan smiled and said, "It feels pretty good. My colleagues are all nice, and I haven't been bullied. It would be quite difficult for someone like me to bully me."

Chi Shaokang nodded slightly: "That's good, anyway, you remember..."

"When you're out and about, take good care of yourself. As long as I'm in the right, just argue with the other party. Even if things get out of hand, you'll be there to protect me," Xia Yuhuan said with a grin.

Chi Shaokang was momentarily speechless after his lines were stolen.

He then chuckled, "Looks like I really am too talkative. I've been nagging you so much I can recite it by heart."

"It's because you care about me," Xia Yuhuan said with a smile.

Seeing that the two had temporarily stopped talking, Yan Hu took the initiative to speak: "Xiao Huan, the thing you asked me to do a couple of days ago has been done."

"Xia Jianyong and Li Rouyue knew each other before; they were childhood sweethearts. The news that Xia Zhuyu might be their illegitimate daughter from their affair has already spread throughout the entire compound."

"In two more days, when the news reaches the military region, Xia Jianyong's reputation will plummet, and he will definitely be summoned for questioning due to his conduct."

Xia Yuhuan's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"I knew entrusting this to Uncle Yan was the right decision. Uncle Yan's efficiency is absolutely amazing," Xia Yuhuan exclaimed in admiration.

Just like last time when Yan Hu helped her expand the scope of her severance of ties by publishing a notice in the newspaper, this time, as the news spread, Yan Hu also expanded the scope, increasing the destructive power by an unknown number of points.

Once this news gets out, Xia Jianyong will definitely be in a huge mess.

Under such circumstances, Xia Jianyong certainly wouldn't have time to inquire whether her father was investigating him, but even if Xia Jianyong did investigate, he definitely wouldn't find out anything.

Most importantly, if things escalate, Xia Jianyong will definitely take a series of actions to protect himself.

As the saying goes, the more you do, the more mistakes you make, and Xia Jianyong will definitely have many flaws exposed in the end.

As Xia Yuhuan was thinking, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, and her eyes lit up again. She was so excited that she was about to stand up.
