Chapter 39: Gossip

As soon as the news of Ye Wangshu's frequent visits to Mayor Ye's house was reported, it attracted a lot of attention.

When the military leader learned of this, he immediately sent someone to call Zhou Jincong to his side.

He pointed to the newspaper on the table and asked Zhou Jincong to look at it.

Zhou Jincong picked up the newspaper and frowned after reading it.

"What do you think when you see this newspaper?"

Zhou Jincong frowned and spoke with a slightly displeased expression, "The writer is talking nonsense and stirring up trouble."

"So, you believe your wife hasn't done anything to wrong you?"

The chief looked at Zhou Jincong with curiosity, trying to see a hint of panic on his face, but he was ultimately disappointed.

Zhou Jincong nodded firmly. "Wangshu told me she's helping Mayor Ye recover. She and Miss Ye have a good relationship. The person whose face is covered in the photo is Ye Wanwan."

The chief agreed. "Mayor Ye wouldn't do such a thing. It's great that you can trust your wife so firmly!"

The chief stood up and patted Zhou Jincong on the shoulder. "Don't worry about this. I believe Mayor Ye will take care of it."

Zhou Jincong's mind flashed through Ye Wangshu's bright face, and he immediately said, "If this is true, your career is probably over."

Zhou Jincong was stunned for a moment, then said seriously, "I believe in Wangshu, and I also believe in the country."

The chief nodded slightly, then signaled Zhou Jincong that he could leave.

As the chief expected, after Mayor Ye learned about this, he immediately went to the newspaper and personally cleared Ye Wangshu's name.

Everyone already approved of Mayor Ye's character, and when they saw him personally clearing Ye Wangshu's name, they immediately believed her.

But nothing is absolute, there are always some people who like to stir up trouble.

Ye Wangshu frowned slightly, his face full of grievance, and looked at Zhou Jincong with regret, "I'm sorry, I wish I had been more careful."

Just now, when she went out, she heard people chatting in the military compound. Only then did she know that Zhou Jincong almost lost his career because of her.

"What have you done wrong? The ones who are wrong are those who like to spread rumors. They have black hearts and see everything as black."

Zhou Jincong took Ye Wangshu into his arms with a look of pity and patted her back gently.

"We must trust the country. The country will not wrongly accuse good people. Look, after the leaders figured it out, not only did I not lose my career, I was even given a new position."

"Really?" After hearing Zhou Jincong's words, Ye Wangshu immediately became excited.

Zhou Jincong nodded. "I now have more soldiers under my command, so I'll probably have to spend more time in the army in the future."

Ye Wangshu seemed to be thinking about something, then asked again as if he was unsure.

Zhou Jincong did not mind the trouble and even explained the whole thing more clearly.

It turned out that an instructor of the same rank as Zhou Jincong had an accident and was unable to train soldiers for a month or so.

But they couldn't just let that group of people do nothing, so several leaders chose one from the crowd to temporarily take over the team.

During this period, wages and benefits will increase, as will working hours.

Naturally, many people are eyeing this position.

"So, you really got promoted because of me!"

Ye Wangshu burst into laughter and felt much more relaxed instantly.

Zhou Jincong nodded. "We all have similar abilities. I'm a little behind in terms of seniority, but the chief still chose me. Although this is only temporary, it also shows that I'm valued, right?"

Ye Wangshu jokingly said, "Maybe when you get a formal opportunity, you will really be promoted."

The two smiled at each other and left the house.

"If you ask me, Zhou Jincong's career advancement must be due to that vixen Ye Wangshu's connection to Mayor Ye. Otherwise... he's only been in the army for a few years! And he's already climbed so high!"

"That's right! My wife said that based on seniority, it's not Zhou Jincong's turn to be promoted!"

“…”

"This Zhou Jincong! He's just a coward who relies on women. Maybe his wife has been slept with by many people."

Zhou Jincong didn't take people's comments seriously at first, after all, he couldn't control everyone's words.

But he said he could do it, but his wife couldn't.

"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. If I hear anyone say something wrong about my Wangshu again... I'll beat him half to death even if I don't want to be a soldier!"

Zhou Jincong looked at everyone fiercely, his hands tightly gripping the shoulders of the man who had just spoken rudely.

The man felt the pain and quickly begged for mercy, "I won't say it anymore. I won't say it again. Please let go! My shoulder is going to break!"

"Apologize."

Zhou Jincong had a stern expression and his words were cold.

When the man heard this, he immediately said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. You climbed up the ladder when you were Zhou Jincong through your own abilities. Your wife and you are not meant to be together. There's no way a third person could come between you two!"

After hearing the latter sentence, Zhou Jincong let go.

Everyone swallowed their saliva when they saw Zhou Jincong like this, and quickly ran away when his eyes swept towards them.

Zhou Jincong naturally went to the army. As soon as he appeared, he attracted a lot of people's attention.

"Hey! Isn't this our instructor Zhou who relied on women to get to the top? Why does he look so ugly?"

Zhou Jincong glanced at the man, but he didn't intend to pay any attention to him.

When the man saw Zhou Jincong's attitude, he immediately became annoyed.

"It's a shame that Song Ruanruan likes you so much, but you're just a coward who relies on women! You coward, stop right there!"

"What? Want to compete?" Zhou Jincong frowned and turned back, his face calm.
