"Liu Yanran, who gave you permission to take in people without authorization?" Xiao Fang stormed into the office, her voice trembling with anger.
"Xiao Fang, watch your attitude." Liu Yanran said with a look of disdain, "You're just an assistant, so behave yourself."
"You..." Xiao Fang was so angry that she couldn't speak.
"Come, come, sit down and let's talk." Liu Yanran said calmly, even pulling out a chair for Xiao Fang.
Xiaofang wasn't impressed. She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and said, "Don't you know the community's rules and regulations? You can't just take in unidentified outsiders."
“No, that’s Xiaofeng’s cousin’s family. I saw their ID cards.” Liu Yanran said calmly.
"But you let them in without permission and then had Xiaofeng take her to settle in? You didn't even let Xiaozhi report it?"
"Oh dear, so you're upset that I didn't tell you? Even if I didn't tell you, you should have told me and Zixiang. Look, I'm over there and I know the situation, so this saves you the trouble, doesn't it?" Liu Yanran said with a smile. "Oh dear, don't be angry. I'll definitely let you know about things like this in the future."
"That's not what I meant." Xiaofang felt like all her anger had hit a cotton ball. "If you break the rules like this, everyone will follow your example, then what's the point of the rules and regulations? Brother Wang and Sister Yiyi never break the rules."
"Don't worry about Yiyi and Zixiang, I've got it covered. Yiyi won't say anything. We've known each other for over ten years, and our relationship is as close as sisters. As for Zixiang, there's even less to worry about. Look, he's entrusted most of his affairs to me now." Liu Yanran spoke casually, her expression indifferent, with an air of superiority.
The implication was that since I have such a good relationship with Ye Yunyi and the others, you should be sensible and not cause trouble in front of me, and just do what you're supposed to do.
"One thing at a time. I can't control how your relationship is, but I must do my best to complete the task that Sister Yiyi entrusted to me. Before you came, we were all getting along well. After you came, you brought a bureaucratic attitude with you. Sister Yiyi and I have worked so hard to get to where we are today, and you can't ruin it." Xiaofang, no longer threatened by Liu Yanran, finally spoke the words that had been buried in her heart.
"Xiaofang, I'm reminding you again, remember your place. No matter what happened between you two before, now you are my subordinate, and you have no right to speak to me like this. I've been tolerant of you out of consideration for our past relationship, but don't take advantage of my leniency and become increasingly disrespectful. Is this what you call disrespecting your superior?" Liu Yanran said bluntly.
"You..." Xiao Fang laughed angrily. "I'm too lazy to talk to you. I will tell Sister Yiyi everything truthfully. There is video evidence. Sister Yiyi will give us a fair judgment."
After saying that, Xiaofang stormed off. As she walked down the stairs, she ran into Wang Zixiang. Seeing Xiaofang's angry expression, Wang Zixiang asked, "Xiaofang, what's wrong?"
Xiao Fang glanced at Wang Zixiang, snorted coldly, and walked away.
Wang Zixiang watched Xiao Fang's retreating figure, scratched his head, and muttered to himself, "Who offended this little girl?"
When he arrived at the conference room, Liu Yanran greeted him with a smile, like a dutiful wife, and brought him a cup of tea, saying, "Are you tired? Have some tea first."
Wang Zixiang took the tea and asked, "I just ran into Xiaofang. She looked like she had been crying. Do you know what happened?"
“Xiaofang, she just came over and yelled at me, saying I shouldn’t have let people in without permission. But you don’t know, that person is Xiaofeng’s cousin. They begged for a long time at the gate. The two of them, parents and a child, their car was dilapidated, and they were skin and bones from hunger. They were pitiful. There were a lot of zombies around. If we had hesitated any longer, they probably would have been captured by the zombies. I happened to see them, so I had them let in. I also went through the check-up process and had Xiaofeng take them to be settled.”
Wang Zixiang sat in a chair, while Liu Yanran leaned against the table beside him, her beautiful curves on full display. A faint fragrance emanated from her, and she spoke softly. It truly made Wang Zixiang's heart flutter.
While observing Wang Zixiang's expression, Liu Yanran continued, "As you know, my family, my mother, my husband, and my children couldn't escape this disaster. If my family hadn't risked their lives to get me out, I might have died long ago." As she spoke, Liu Yanran's voice choked up, and a few tears silently slid down her snow-white arm and onto Wang Zixiang's outstretched hand, which he was about to use to comfort her.
Wang Zixiang seemed to have been burned by something, and quickly withdrew his hand. He cleared his throat and said, "Okay, stop crying. It's all over now. There were only three people. It's alright. We'll just investigate further."
“Yes, we can’t just stand by and watch people die. Besides, we’ve brought back and saved so many people. What’s the harm in bringing back three more?” Liu Yanran smiled, then sighed softly and said, “Actually, I know that Xiaofang feels neglected because I didn’t go through her. I was also angry and my tone was bad just now. I’ll go apologize to her right now.”
“Yes, Xiaofang is a good girl. She works hard for the community without complaint. Please be understanding of her.” After saying this, Wang Zixiang didn’t want to stay there any longer. Without even drinking water, he said, “I’ve been quite busy lately. Please take care of things. I’ll go now. Yiyi should be back this afternoon. It will be much better when she’s back.”
Watching Wang Zixiang walk out of the conference room, Liu Yanran calmly picked up her cup, slowly savoring the aroma of tea, a smile that didn't reach her eyes.
Yiyi is coming back this afternoon. Okay, let's see which side Yiyi is on.
...
On the way back, Ye Yunyi and the others saw the video Xiao Fang had posted. She fell into a long silence.
In the past, their cooperation model was that Wang Zixiang and Xiao Fang were in charge of internal affairs, while she and Zhao Yong and others were in charge of external affairs. Everyone was someone they could trust back to back, so they could do whatever they wanted without worry.
Back then, everyone was starving, so they didn't have the energy to think about anything else. But now, everyone's starving too, so why can't we unite as one?
She was just an ordinary woman before. After the zombie virus outbreak, she survived the zombie virus and gradually made her way to where she is today simply because she had read a lot of similar post-apocalyptic novels, knew to be careful, guard against people's hearts, plan ahead, and train herself.
He can hate others, but the Li Biao family is a heinous criminal and a public enemy of the community, so he naturally doesn't hesitate to deal with them. The cannibalistic gang in Xingfu Community is even more utterly devoid of any moral compass, and his actions against them are also very satisfying.
As for Boss Zhong and Shi Zhancai, that's a personal feud. If she goes easy on them, she deserves to be the one to be bullied.
As for Xiaofang and Yanran, it's easy to handle them if you just follow the rules, but it's also difficult to handle them because people aren't plants or trees, how can they be without feelings?
