“Sutti, don’t pay attention to him. His name is Liu Hao. His father is just a minor director in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He only got into our company because his mother is good at flattering people.”

Meng Yixuan originally thought that Su Tixin was incompetent, but she didn't expect that he was not afraid of trouble at all.

She felt that either she was impulsive or she was so confident that she didn't care at all.

"No matter the reason, it's quite an achievement that they got into the Reform Department. I acted impulsively just now and shouldn't have offended people so easily. I should have been more patient."

Su Ti looked annoyed. She hadn't missed Meng Yixuan's gaze. She had also mentioned Liu Hao's family background when she said those words.

It certainly wasn't meant to remind her; it was to see if she was scared and then assess whether she had powerful backers.

"Oh, just like you said, we're all clerks, we're all the same, there's no need to worry about his attitude. Your dad is much more powerful than his dad."

Meng Yixuan's enthusiasm cooled considerably. She could clearly see Su Tina's hesitant expression, and guessed that her family situation was similar to Liu Hao's.

Her father was probably a director, and she panicked when she heard about Liu Hao's family background. They were at a similar level, so she definitely couldn't make things too ugly.

However, considering that Suti's family has connections in the military, the future is uncertain.

She had many thoughts on her mind, but showed nothing on her face.

"That's true. Sigh, you just said that Liu Hao was able to get in because of his mother? Can you tell me the specifics? I'm new here and don't know anything. I'm afraid of accidentally offending someone."

Su Ti didn't miss Meng Yixuan's ever-changing attitude, and she pretended to be a gossip.

"That's a long story. You're new here. After a while, you'll know what you need to know without asking around. You know Marshal Li, right?"

"Yes, it's the old Marshal Li you've heard of. This story begins with the old Marshal."

Seeing Su Ti's surprised expression, Meng Yixuan moved closer to her mysteriously.

She hadn't planned to say much, but it would only be a few days before Suti found out.

Why not do her a favor? Regardless of her family background, anyone who gets into the Reform Department is bound to have a good future. It's always good to maintain a good relationship.

"This position originally belonged to the old marshal's grandson, the one who was the fake grandson that was all the rage recently."

"Nobody knew before that Marshal Li's grandson was in our department. Because of the old marshal's connections, he could do whatever he wanted here, and nobody dared to interfere with him."

"Liu Hao's family lived close by, and his mother was always following the old marshal's daughter around, flattering her."

"Later, the old marshal's daughter found a way to get Liu Hao in as well, somewhat like a prince's study companion."

"Liu Hao took advantage of his position and acted arrogantly in the department, looking down on everyone. Who knew that the person who was always praising him was a fake?"

"In the end, the old marshal denied it, severed ties, and even dismissed him from his post, leaving Liu Hao in an awkward position."

“He offended a lot of people in the department before, and now no one is backing him up. He doesn’t dare to breathe loudly. He’s probably just putting on airs because you’re new.”

Meng Yixuan sat next to Su Ti and whispered to herself, revealing all about Liu Hao's affairs.

"Oh, I see!" Su Ti nodded, pretending to understand. She figured it wasn't just because she was new and easy to suppress.

I suspect Liu Hao also harbors resentment towards her, the one who took his good brother's place.

"Don't be afraid of him. To be honest, his family background is the worst in our department. No matter what, your family still has connections in the military."

Meng Yixuan then began to subtly inquire about Su Ti's background.

Aside from knowing that her father works for the Ministry of National Defense and that her family has some connections in the military, I know nothing else.

“My dad said that harmony is the most important thing, and we shouldn’t easily get into conflicts with others.” Suti knew what she wanted to ask, so she pretended to be timid.

The less she talks about it, the more curious people become, and the more they speculate, making them hesitant to act rashly.

On Suti's first day, the director didn't assign her any difficult tasks, and she handled them with ease.

She waited until it was time to leave work, then followed everyone out of the Reform Department and saw Xiao Liu waiting there early.

"Will you be driven around from now on?" Zhu Qingling looked at the man standing next to the car. He looked at Su Ti with great respect. This man must be a bodyguard of an elder in Su Ti's family.

It's getting colder every day. They either take the tram to work, and during the early morning hours, the tram is packed with people. Taking it once feels like losing half your life.

They either ride bicycles themselves, but the north wind howls in the mornings and evenings, and they can't ride even with the wind feeling like knives. They also wish they had a car to take them there every day.

But her dad's car wasn't his own. It was fine for her dad to use it, and it was also fine for others to use it once or twice, but if they used it frequently, people would definitely gossip.

It might even affect her parents' jobs, so even if she wanted to, she wouldn't dare mention it.

“My family was worried when I first started working, so they talked to the higher-ups. Once I’m familiar with the job, I definitely can’t keep using public resources.”

Suti spoke succinctly. Winter had arrived, and although Beijing was a bit warmer than the northern regions, temperatures had still dropped to minus ten degrees Celsius at times.

She thought that if she were to ride a bike or squeeze onto a tram in such cold weather, and she was pregnant, even if she wanted to, her family wouldn't agree.

When Zhu Qingling heard from Su Ti that she had submitted a report, she thought that Su Ti's family really spoiled her, and that she might be their only child.

She only has one precious child, so of course she should spoil her. If that's the case, she can go back and inquire about it.

My father works for the Ministry of National Defense, and my mother has some connections in the military, so she can use military vehicles. She's an only child, and you can find out that easily by asking around.

Suti greeted a few people in the office next to him before walking over to Xiao Liu.

"I think this new guy is pretty good. He's not arrogant and has a good personality." Several staff members pushed the cart and looked at Su Ti, who had already gotten into the car.

Everyone in their department came from well-off families and had an air of arrogance, but Suti gave off a warm and welcoming feeling, without being arrogant at all.

"Yes, that's good." Meng Yixuan smiled along with everyone, but in her heart she was thinking that it was precisely these kinds of people who were good at everything that were terrifying.

Everyone has a temper. Liu Hao said such nasty things, but she didn't care. She just sat there calmly.

Furthermore, while she may be described as having no temper, she seems more like a shrewd and worldly person, and she always believes that she is right.

After chatting for a few more minutes, the group went home. Suti was also eager to return home, wondering how Baichuan was doing.

She had just arrived home when Wei Baichuan rode his bike back at breakneck speed.

"Wife." Wei Baichuan grinned widely when he saw his wife standing there quietly waiting for him.
