The Bai family knows how to accuse people and play the victim, truly understanding how to exploit the public's sympathy for the weak.
Furthermore, Xiao Yun came to cause trouble without providing any concrete evidence. Although she spoke loudly, speaking loudly is ineffective against someone who appears weak on the outside but is strong on the inside.
Moreover, there is no DNA paternity test now, so there is no conclusive evidence to prove whose child it is or not. Bai Hua just refuses to admit it, so what can anyone do?
The tricks that Wang Zhaodi and Sun Jiancheng played were remarkably similar.
They were exposed because Wang Zhaodi revealed her secret first. Later, Zhao Cuihua's family joined forces with Deputy Director Chen of the Public Security Bureau to conduct a sting operation, which tricked Sun Jiancheng into revealing himself.
If Bai Huazhen and Xiao Yun's husband had a child, and the two weren't caught red-handed, as long as they stubbornly denied it, they could still pin a huge accusation on Xiao Yun.
Just as Jiang Ci was secretly thinking that the hardest people to guard against were villains like Bai Hua, she overheard the family's scheme against them!
This also happened today.
After successfully applying for the job and completing the registration with the HR department, Zhou Mingli left the company.
He doesn't officially start work until tomorrow, so he doesn't need to stay here now.
As soon as the talent left the personnel department, Zhou Mingli ran into Cheng Wenyun, who was waiting for him.
This was also the first time Cheng Wenyun had met Zhou Mingli. He glanced at his colleague, who nodded, and then Cheng Wenyun walked towards Zhou Mingli.
"Hello, my surname is Cheng, Wenyun." Cheng Wenyun introduced himself with a smile.
Zhou Mingli knew who it was just by looking at his face as he walked over.
Cheng Wenyun and his uncle look somewhat alike.
Zhou Mingli shook hands with him formally, saying, "Hello, Zhou Mingli."
"I'd heard about you two from my uncle before, but I never expected to meet you until today." Cheng Wenyun's smile remained unchanged, but he had already sized up Zhou Mingli.
He wore his most presentable outfit today, which was made by Sister-in-law Yu before he came here.
Wearing dark blue to almost black trousers and a dark long-sleeved shirt, Zhou Mingli wasn't wearing a coat today, even though it was already a bit chilly in Beijing in October. He was tall, and this dark outfit made him look quite composed.
His hair had been cut once before he came. There was no hair wax, so he couldn't style it. It could only cover his forehead, revealing his eyebrows, eyes, and thin face.
Zhou Mingli said calmly, "We've just moved here and have been quite busy. We didn't get to meet Mr. Cheng when we went to visit him before, which was indeed a bit unfortunate."
His tone was completely devoid of flattery; his eyes were clear, and he was neither arrogant nor humble.
Cheng Wenyun nodded secretly, thinking to himself: My uncle and aunt have a good eye for people.
He smiled and said, "I've been too busy lately. Now that you've all moved to Beijing, we'll definitely meet again in the future."
"Oh, right, I have some documents here. Why don't you take them back and take a look?" Cheng Wenyun generously handed the documents he was carrying to Zhou Mingli.
Zhou Mingli nodded. "Okay."
"Alright, congratulations on joining the company. We'll be colleagues from now on." Cheng Wenyun glanced at the time and said, "It's not time for me to leave work yet, so I won't chat any longer."
Zhou Mingli understood and smiled, "You go ahead with your work. My wife and I will thank you in person when we have some free time."
Cheng Wenyun responded, waved to him, and turned back to continue working.
Zhou Mingli then took the documents and walked out.
Those who witnessed this scene secretly made their own plans.
In Beijing, the social circle is only so big; even the smallest thing can spread quickly.
Moreover, newspaper reporters often have to go to the municipal government to verify press releases, speeches by leaders, and so on.
The news that Zhou Mingli, who lived in the newspaper's staff quarters, was working as a kitchen helper in the kitchen of a municipal government agency quickly reached the staff quarters.
Those who thought Zhou Mingli had some powerful background with Jiang Ci and could directly get a minor leadership position in Beijing couldn't help but curl their lips in disapproval.
What? I thought he was someone with a powerful background, but it turns out he came to Beijing just to be a kitchen helper.
What a waste of their secret expectations.
When Baihua went to pick up her child, she overheard the neighbors talking.
"I went to the newspaper office to see my man just now and heard some news."
"What news? Tell me quickly!"
An older woman curled her lip and said, "Do you still remember the family of four who moved into Shaotian's house before?"
Upon hearing these words, Bai Hua perked up her ears and immediately took her son and went over.
"I remember, I remember! They caught several thieves last time! I heard from the neighborhood committee that the police are going to give them a reward for it!"
"Really! What kind of rewards do they give?"
"A few petty thieves can't give you anything good, maybe a couple of pillowcases or a teacup or something."
"Don't talk about that. Tell me quickly, what news did your man hear?"
The woman continued, "He went to the city government today to pick up a press release to be edited and printed, and he happened to run into HR applying for kitchen helper positions. Guess who got selected?"
Someone immediately said, "Could it be that... Zhou... Zhou Mingli?"
The woman said firmly, "That's right!"
"Hey, I thought Zhou Mingli was going to work at a newspaper, but it turns out he's just a kitchen helper at the municipal government, not even a head chef!"
"Who says otherwise? Look at what they're wearing, how many patches are on their clothes? They look so shabby. I originally thought they were some kind of well-off family, but I didn't expect... they're just like that!"
