Chapter 61 Thank you for your trust, leaders.
Shen Zhixia caught a glimpse of the malice in his eyes and frowned. Just as she was about to say something, a voice suddenly came over: "What are you doing here?"
The group approached again. The middle-aged man at the head of the group was wearing a uniform. He looked displeased at Director Yuan and the others, as well as Shen Zhixia, who was being held captive.
"Release her immediately! How can you keep a pregnant woman under your control?!"
Director Yuan glanced at the newcomer. Although his official position in Shanghai was not high, he knew many people, but he did not recognize the person in front of him.
He's probably not an important person.
Director Yuan then said impatiently, "You'd better not interfere with our work."
The middle-aged man said coldly, "We are from the leadership department."
Leadership Department...
That person works for the leader, and their official rank and power are much greater than his. This is not someone he can afford to offend. No wonder he doesn't recognize this person; it turns out he has never even met the leader before.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Director Yuan's expression changed several times. Finally, he couldn't help but lower his head, and his expression became cautious: "I don't know what wind blew the people from the leadership department here. Is there anything you need? I will definitely help you if I can."
The middle-aged man hummed in response, his face expressionless. His eyes were fixed on Shen Zhixia, as if he were thinking about something.
Shen Zhixia: "?"
She was certain she didn't know this person, but why was he staring at her like that? Could it be because she was too beautiful? But she was pregnant; he couldn't possibly be interested in a pregnant woman.
She glanced at Director Yuan again. Just moments ago, Director Yuan had been arrogant and haughty, but now he was like an obedient rooster, bowing low in fear and trembling, looking utterly humble.
Tsk...
This is the kind of person who bullies the weak.
She despised this kind of person more than anything in her life.
Just now, when Director Yuan was dealing with her, he was incredibly arrogant, acting like he was a very important person. But now that there's someone with an even higher position than him, he immediately became a coward.
waste!
A despicable person.
She felt that Director Yuan's sudden arrest was because he had listened to Zhang Mei and wanted her money, so he made up this excuse.
What a disgusting person.
If she had the chance, she would definitely make this person pay the price.
Director Yuan asked obsequiously, "What are your orders?"
The middle-aged man said, "Do you know Shen Zhixia? I'm looking for her."
Shen Zhixia looked at the middle-aged man with surprise.
Looking for her again?
What do you want with her?
She hasn't done much since coming to Shanghai, so why are all these people looking for her?
Director Yuan's visit to her couldn't possibly be anything good. What did the people in the leadership want? Could they also be looking for her to settle scores? But that shouldn't be the case. Even if she's a capitalist's daughter, she wouldn't be demoted so quickly.
Shen Zhixia remained silent.
Director Yuan looked at Shen Zhixia with suspicion and disbelief in his eyes. He thought Shen Zhixia was someone who had lost her mother and had no father to care for her, but now it seemed that she could still be involved with people in the leadership department...
"That's Shen Zhixia," Director Yuan said, pointing at Shen Zhixia and taking credit.
"It's me."
Shen Zhixia could only bite the bullet and say, "Yes, it's me. What do you want from me?"
"So you're Shen Zhixia! I knew you looked a lot like the portrait I saw!" The middle-aged man's face immediately lit up with a smile, and he looked incredibly friendly.
portrait?
Shen Zhixia's mind was a complete blank.
No wonder he kept looking at her; he must have seen her portrait. But why would he have seen his own portrait? She's not a criminal.
The middle-aged man was initially worried about not being able to find Shen Zhixia, but he was delighted to have run into her on the street so easily. He then stepped forward and slapped the person next to him away, saying, "What are you doing? Show her some respect."
The man was nearly knocked unconscious by the middle-aged man's iron palm strike.
He was just following Director Yuan's orders. Now that he saw someone more capable than Director Yuan, he simply hid to the side and acted as if he were invisible.
Director Yuan: "?"
Why is this person being so polite to Shen Zhixia?
Why?
Zhang Mei lied to him again. She clearly said that Shen Zhixia was helpless and that he could offend her.
Is this a person who has no one to rely on?
She even invited people from the leadership department to help her.
What exactly is the deal with Shen Zhixia?
"Ms. Shen, hello, I'm Qian Jiang from the leadership office," the middle-aged man said politely.
Shen Zhixia nodded.
Qian Jiang coughed and said earnestly, "I came to see you this time at the request of our leaders. We are deeply moved by your donation of so much money and resources to the country and your support for scientific research. So we are here to present you with an award certificate."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at the people behind him.
The person behind him immediately handed him a banner and a certificate of merit.
"Ms. Shen, please accept this."
Shen Zhixia: "..."
This is her reward...
Moreover, it was given to them by their superiors.
This was completely unexpected.
After all, she had donated some money to the Shanghai Research Institute, and at most, the institute would give her some rewards. She never expected that such a thing would alarm the higher-ups.
This is a gift from a leader, so its value is completely different.
She pursed her lips, then very seriously accepted the certificate and banner.
In that instant, she suddenly felt a resonance between herself and this era.
It turns out that even the things she did casually could bring rewards.
The country may not be very powerful now, but it has certainly given back to her.
She knew that power was very important in this era. Even if she was innocent, as long as Director Yuan took her away, her fate would not be good. She thought she would definitely be brutally interrogated, and even if she was released, she would probably be half dead. But now, she was suddenly fine.
This is a banner presented by the leader.
That would directly prove her innocence.
With this banner in place, everyone knows that she has gained national recognition, and that she has indeed donated all of her dowry.
Even Director Yuan cannot arrest her easily.
Even if the capitalists are later demoted, she can avoid disaster because of the gifts from her superiors.
"I just did what I was supposed to do."
Shen Zhixia's voice was clear as she said, "Thank you for the recognition from the leaders and the country. I will keep it in mind."
After saying this, she suddenly looked at Director Yuan, her eyes narrowing slightly.
