The atmosphere fell silent for a while, until finally the director, who could no longer hide in his office, came out and broke the strange silence.

"Well, let's talk this out. The complainant and the person involved are both here, so let's sit down and slowly resolve the issue."

Ye Wanying was giving Director Gong face, after all, Director Gong had been on her side ever since he first learned what she was going to do, or more accurately, he had helped her for free because of Commander Gao's influence.

Seeing his wife's knowing look, Gao Dan nodded knowingly, which was considered his agreement.

Upon seeing this, Director Gong almost burst into tears of joy and personally led these people into his office.

As the director, his office was naturally very large. Although the facilities inside were old, they had a unique charm, showing that he was an old man who knew how to enjoy life.

Zhao Lan's mind was filled with nothing but hatred and anger, but she had no choice but to suppress it.

After everyone sat down in the office, Director Gong reluctantly went to personally bring in a few cups of tea for the staff. After all, he couldn't afford to offend any of them.

"Okay, how can we stop bringing this up?" After taking a couple of sips of tea, Zhao Lan reverted to her persona as a female business executive.

Gao Dan's eyes narrowed dangerously, but his wife stopped him: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao, as I said before, what I need is your apology."

Only when Zhao Lan, that white lotus, and that local tyrant who stole his son's clothes all apologize to his son can this matter be resolved.

Ha, Queen Ye's son is not someone anyone can bully.

Actually, this is the simplest way to do it, just a matter of saying a few words. But it's easy to get that innocent girl to apologize, since that's just her nature. But getting Zhao Lan and that bully boy to apologize is not so simple.

Given her status, if Zhao Lan really apologized, she would probably feel disgusted with herself afterwards.

"Impossible. You'll only apologize to me if I die." Zhao Lan would never agree to that.

Gao Dan laughed coldly: "If you don't apologize, then you can only die!"

Zhao Lan was so startled by the sudden murderous aura that she stopped breathing. At this moment, she seemed to finally see one thing clearly: this young man she had always looked down on was no longer the nine-year-old child he once was.

The fact that he climbed to this position without relying on the Gu family's background is enough to demonstrate his cunning and wisdom.

To rise to the position of regimental commander at such a young age must mean one has experienced countless battles and the number of lives on one's hands is beyond counting.

Zhao Lan began to worry, concerned about what methods this wolf-like young man would use to deal with her. After all, the reason this child ran away back then was mostly because of her own arrogance, thinking that victory was in her grasp, and deliberately saying those words.

Bang!

He stood up, his teacup falling and shattering on the floor. His expression was urgent: "I'll say it again, an apology is out of the question. If you want money, name your price. I have a meeting to attend; I don't have time to waste here with you."

My mind is too cluttered; I need to find a quiet place to clear my thoughts.

Zhao Lan's years of experience have taught her a lesson: when people are more nervous or in a more critical situation, they are more likely to say or do the wrong thing.

Therefore, once I calm down, I need to think carefully about my future plans.
