"An assessment?" Wang Yan seemed to have heard a joke. "Comrade Cheng, are you kidding me? If my cousin passes the assessment, would she need your signature?"
"Since you failed the assessment, what are you talking to me about?"
"you……"
Seeing that he was unmoved by reason, Wang Duo pushed his daughter behind him and confronted Cheng Ran.
"Young man, don't be so rigid. It's better for everyone to be flexible in everything. Otherwise, if things get too ugly, it will be difficult to handle."
"If it's difficult, then don't bother. Don't come to me with bribery and underhanded dealings; I don't know how to handle them."
Being rejected so decisively, Wang Duo was furious and slammed his fist on the table as he stood up.
"Cheng Ran! I'll give you one more chance! Will you sign this or not?"
The blatant threat made Cheng Ran frown, raise his head, and snort.
"The door is at the back. Goodbye."
"Fine! Since you're so tough, don't beg anyone if you get into trouble in the future! Ah Yan, let's go!"
Wang Yan hesitated for a moment, but in the end she left Cheng Ran's office with her father.
The father and daughter went to a secluded spot, their faces turning pale with anger. They had never encountered such a tough opponent before.
"Dad, is he stupid? Didn't we make things clear? Or is he new here and doesn't know the rules? Should I go and teach him?"
She still hadn't given up on Cheng Ran. His handsome face alone was enough for her to fantasize about for a while. She couldn't wait to create more opportunities to spend time together.
"Hmph, he's pretending to be ignorant. He's not a three-year-old. I don't believe he doesn't know anything. He just doesn't want to help us. He's so stubborn, let's see how long he can stay that way! Let's find him something to do!"
...
The news that Cheng Ran refused Wang Duo and his daughter's request for help quickly spread throughout the police station, and everyone looked at him strangely.
There was admiration, sympathy, and a complex mix of emotions that were hard to describe...
He wasn't completely unaware of the gossip circulating behind his back; he simply focused on his work and ignored it.
Before she knew it, it was time for Jiang Wanqing to come to the office. She deliberately didn't go to work with Cheng Ran, but instead chose to come at half past noon.
Upon entering the office, those who knew her greeted her with smiles and nods, maintaining a semblance of politeness and courtesy.
"Comrade Jiang, you're here to see Comrade Cheng, right? Unfortunately, he's in a meeting and will be gone for a while. Why don't you find a place to sit and wait?"
"I'm not looking for him, I'm looking for your supervisor."
Jiang Wanqing spoke the truth, and she was dressed very formally today. Some people gave her a strange look, wondering if she was here because of the trouble Cheng Ran had been caused by Wang Duo and his daughter a few days ago.
Just then, Xiao Wei came out of her office, saw her, and went over to greet her warmly.
"Comrade Jiang, what brings you here? Are you looking for Comrade Cheng...?"
"I'm not looking for him; I have important business to attend to."
"Oh? Is it serious business?" Xiao Wei looked a little puzzled, but quickly asked patiently, "You can tell me what it is. The big bosses aren't in their offices right now; they're in a meeting. I can pass on the message for you. Within my authority, I might be able to help you with it."
"Okay, thank you, Comrade Xiao."
"It's nothing, let's talk in my office?"
"Um."
Jiang Wanqing trusted Xiao Wei quite a bit, based on the fact that she had raised a good son, so she followed her into the office with peace of mind.
Xiao Wei poured her a glass of water and asked, "What's wrong? Tell me, I'm listening."
"I'm here to call upon the labs and researchers."
"ah!?"
Thinking she had misheard, Xiao Wei's eyes flashed with disbelief. She froze for two seconds, then blinked.
"What...what did you say?"
Jiang Wanqing smirked and pushed the letter of introduction over.
"You'll understand after reading this."
The other person swallowed hard, took the letter, opened it, and read it carefully word by word, their eyes practically overflowing with shock.
"this……"
"You must already know about Professor Xue's passing some time ago. His last wish was for me to help him complete his unfinished experiments, produce results that could be applied in practice, and contribute to the country's development. This letter of introduction has the signatures of various units, departments, and industry leaders, as well as Professor Xue's own handwriting. Can it be used as an official seal?"
Jiang Wanqing remained composed and respectful. Since she was there to handle serious business, she had no intention of engaging in idle chatter or small talk. Getting things done as efficiently as possible was the most important thing.
"Yes, since it's a letter of introduction personally written by Professor Xue, it can certainly serve as proof. Which lab do you want to use? I'll take you to see it."
"Thank you, Comrade Xiao."
"You're welcome, it's my pleasure. Come with me."
Everything went smoothly for Xiao Wei without any obstacles, but as soon as the two went outside, they ran into Wang Yan, who was blocking the door.
She learned from others that Jiang Wanqing had arrived, so she waited here.
"Stop! Where are you going!" She blocked Jiang Wanqing's path. "This is a research institute. Do you think this is your home? Who knows what your intentions are if you wander around like this?"
Ha, she immediately labeled someone, which perfectly matches Jiang Wanqing's stereotype of her.
Unfortunately, Jiang Wanqing hadn't come here to argue with her. She originally planned to walk around her, but the other person had no intention of calming things down at all. Instead, she went even further and pushed her directly.
"Did you hear me?! What kind of place do you think you are?"
Xiao Wei couldn't stand it anymore, so she showed off her letter of introduction, full of confidence.
"Comrade Wang, please take a good look. This is Professor Xue's letter of introduction and the seals of various departments. Comrade Jiang came to request researchers and laboratories according to regulations and procedures. If this delays important business, can you take responsibility for it?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan's eyes flickered. She snatched the letter of introduction to look at it, and her expression immediately changed. She was about to tear up the letter.
Jiang Wanqing looked at her coldly and said, "This is more important than official documents. If you dare to tear it up, don't cry when you go to jail!"
Wang Yan paused, then snorted, "Don't try to scare me! Professor Xue is dead, who knows where you got a letter of introduction from! You think you can use our lab? Don't think you can act tough just because you're Professor Xue's student. I think you're the one who should be arrested! Forging a letter of introduction, you wouldn't happen to be a spy..."
"Smack!"
Before she could finish speaking, Wang Yan was slapped by Jiang Wanqing, and the letter was snatched back.
"You...you dare to hit me?"
"If you're going to hit me, why do you have to pick a day? It's not the first time anyway. If you keep spewing nonsense, I don't mind slapping you again!" After saying that, Jiang Wanqing glanced at Xiao Wei, "Comrade Xiao, let's go, don't delay our business."
"good."
"Stop! You can't leave! Jiang Wanqing, if you dare touch anything in the lab, I will not let you leave the research institute safely! You all stop right there!"
She screamed helplessly, but Jiang Wanqing didn't take her seriously at all.
