"I am sorry to Lu Jiefang. I was possessed by evil spirits. I was afraid of being implicated. I was greedy and vain. It was all my fault. The extra 120 yuan is my apology. Please buy malted milk and beef jerky for Lu Jiefang. They are his favorite foods."

Xu Lina handed over the money with both hands and apologized very sincerely with tears in her eyes.

Ruan Qiqi raised an eyebrow, a little surprised by Xu Lina's change. Had she been retrained in the past four days?

"My father-in-law severely criticized and educated Lina. This money is also my father-in-law's intention. Comrade Lu Jiefang defended the country at the border and is a role model for our generation. He is worthy of being the son of Commander Lu. A good father will have a good son. Life at the border is hard. This money is for Comrade Lu Jiefang to buy some nutritional supplements. I hope he can return triumphantly and have a bright future!"

Manager Zhang is good at talking, and although it is a gift, it does not make people feel disgusted.

"You should be thankful that you have a good father, otherwise..."

Ruan Qiqi took the money and didn't say anything else, but Xu Lina understood it and broke out in a cold sweat. She really regretted it now.

"You idiot born of a bitch, who do you think you are? You dare to mess with the commander's son? Even if he is unlucky, our family can't afford to offend him. Your father is just a small office director. The commander can crush me to death with just a little finger. If you want to die, don't involve the whole family. Anyway, no matter what method you use, whether you cry or kneel, you have to ask for forgiveness from Lu Jiefang's sister-in-law, otherwise you will die outside and don't come home!"

Xu Lina could still hear her father's scolding.

An hour ago, she didn't understand what her father meant by these words, but now she did.

In Ruan Qiqi's eyes, an ordinary person like her might not be much better than an ant, right?

"I won't dare to do it again. I know I was wrong."

The tears that Xu Lina shed at this moment were all out of regret from the bottom of her heart. She decided to break up with Yu Xiangqian and no longer dream of marrying into a high-ranking official's family. She should listen to her father and find a man of equal status to live with.

Ruan Qiqi saw that she was truly repentant, so she stopped making things difficult for her and said, "This matter ends here, you can get out now!"

Before Xu Lina could react, Manager Zhang glared at her fiercely, "Why don't you get out?"

Only then did she come to her senses, and ran out like the wind, with the heavy stone in her heart finally relieved.

At least I don’t have to die outside and I can go home.

Ruan Qiqi took the 500 yuan and said to Manager Zhang, "Your company owes the winery 3,500 yuan. It's time to pay it back, right?"

Manager Zhang's face changed, and he finally understood why Ruan Qiqi looked at him that way four days ago.

It turns out he's here to collect a debt.

"Comrade, it's not that I don't want to pay back the money, I'm just having difficulties. Department stores look glamorous, but they're actually hard to work in. Can you be more tolerant for a while?"

When it comes to official business, Manager Zhang becomes calculating and shrewd again, and speaks with a strong flavor of a deadbeat.

It is impossible to pay back the money now. It will take at least a few years. When he has made enough money, he will be transferred to other units and leave the bad debt to the next person.

Ruan Qiqi was not in a hurry at all, and said slowly: "Zhang Jinbu, male, 35 years old, from a poor mountainous area, his family was very poor, and he is today thanks to the support of his father-in-law. Although he is not a son-in-law, he is better than a son-in-law. Am I right?"

Manager Zhang couldn't laugh anymore. What he hated most was people saying that he married into the wife's family. His son clearly had the same surname as him, so why did they say that he married into the wife's family?

"Men tend to spend money as soon as they have it, and Manager Zhang is no exception. There is a beautiful woman named Xu in the department store, but her husband is ill and her family is in financial difficulty. You call Xu to your office and take advantage of her under the pretext of a heart-to-heart talk. The timeline and steps are as follows..."

"The first time, at a certain time and minute on a certain day of a certain year, in your office, you touched the buttocks of a woman named Xu."

"The second time, you were a little bolder and touched my face instead."

"The third time, you are so bold that you touched me violently."

"The fourth time was five days ago. You put your hand inside and pinched it a few times. Manager Zhang, will you be sleepy next time? If your father-in-law and your cousin knew about this, would you still be able to keep your position as a manager?"

Ruan Qiqi spoke at a steady pace, describing the time, place, and details of the people clearly. Manager Zhang's face became paler and paler, and beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

I swear to God, he just had a little bit of lustful thoughts at the beginning. During such a long time, he only reached in and touched it a few times, he didn't do anything else!

How did this woman know?

Could it be that the window of his office was not closed properly on those occasions, and was seen by other people in the unit, and spread, and then reached Ruan Qiqi's ears?

Manager Zhang felt a chill on his back, and suddenly thought of a sentence -

When you see a cockroach in your home, it means that your home has become an infestation of cockroaches.

The same goes for rumors. Once they spread outside, they have already spread all over the workplace.

No wonder the people at work looked at him in a strange way these days, with a half-smile in their eyes. They must be laughing at him in their hearts.

Manager Zhang had two of his three souls scared away, leaving only one in critical condition. He was seeing black spots in front of his eyes and could hardly stand.

"Don't worry, I'm the only one who knows this at the moment."

Ruan Qiqi comforted him, saying that it would be no good to scare him to death.

Besides, it was not Manager Zhang who forced the matter. The woman surnamed Xu also had that intention. After all, her husband was sick and couldn't do anything.

Manager Zhang's two souls that flew away immediately returned to their places.

He looked at Ruan Qiqi sadly and asked her if she could speak all at once next time. His life also matters!

"If Manager Zhang refuses to pay back the money and a few people find out, I won't guarantee it!"

After giving a sweet treat and a slap in the face, Ruan Qiqi looked at Manager Zhang, whose face was as pale as the ashes, with a smile.

"I will return it right away. Please wait for me."

Manager Zhang didn't dare to delay for a second. He ran to close the door and window, squatted beside the bonsai that was not growing well, and dug in the big pot. After a while, he dug out an oil paper bag.

When he opened the oil paper bag, a pile of money came out. Manager Zhang looked at it with pity. He had been a manager for three or four years, but he had only made this little money. He was back to the days before liberation.

"This 3,500 yuan is the outstanding amount, and the remaining 500 yuan is my token of appreciation. It is my honor to meet a woman like you in this vast sea of ​​people. Please accept it!"

Zhang Jinbu suppressed his grief and stuffed two portions of money into Ruan Qiqi's hands, hoping that she would keep her mouth shut and not have an affair with his father-in-law and his wife.

"Manager Zhang has such a pure heart, I really can't bear to refuse. By the way, I want to remind you that family harmony is the key to success. Manager Zhang, do you understand?"

Ruan Qiqi accepted the money without any hesitation.

"I understand, I will definitely change in the future!"

Manager Zhang nodded vigorously. He would never dare to spend money again even if he was beaten to death. He would live wholeheartedly with his wife from now on. Even if Daji came to seduce him, he would not be fooled.

"And Comrade Xu Lina has serious ideological problems. She must do hard work for at least half a year."

Ruan Qiqi did not let Xu Lina go so easily. Even in later generations, this woman's cheating behavior was shameful. Sweeping the toilet for half a year was just a small lesson for her.

"Don't worry, I will personally supervise her and she will definitely complete the six months!"

Manager Zhang was completely relieved and spoke with much more energy.

He sent Ruan Qiqi to the entrance of the department store and watched her walk away. Only then did he dare to reach out to wipe his forehead and let out a long breath.

Thank God, the dog’s life was saved!
