"She did this, aren't you going to do something to teach her a lesson?"
Qiao Yanxin didn't want to say it at first, but after thinking about it, she still asked.
Song Shishi washed the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen while replying, "Of course, she thought that a letter of denunciation could destroy me, so I naturally have to let her know that I am not someone she can mess with at will."
After saying that, she slammed the rag in her hand heavily on the stove.
She clenched her fists, her knuckles turning white from the effort.
…
The next morning, Song Shishi went out as soon as the sky turned pale.
In the streets and alleys, people who get up early are busy lighting stoves and emptying chamber pots. The smell of coal smoke is intertwined with the hustle and bustle of the city.
She hurried all the way to the front of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building.
...
...
The building was solemn and dignified, and the guards stood straight. After checking her ID, she hurried in, and her footsteps echoed in the corridor.
Song Shishi didn't go to her own office, but went straight to Secretary Wang's office.
Secretary Wang has worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for many years, is familiar with all procedures, and is an upright senior.
Secretary Wang's office was on the second floor with the door open. She knocked lightly on the door frame. Secretary Wang looked up and smiled gently.
"Xiao Song, come in quickly, what do you want from me?"
Song Shishi's eyes instantly turned red and her voice became tearful.
"Secretary Wang, I really have no choice.
I followed all the formal procedures for returning to the city, but for some reason someone reported me for incomplete procedures and false information. Now the street office has intervened in the investigation.
If this gets out, not only will my personal reputation be damaged, but people will also misunderstand that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not doing its job rigorously.
This is a matter of reputation for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a whole, so I have no choice but to ask you for help."
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. She pretended to hold them back and quickly raised her hand to wipe them away.
Secretary Wang frowned, put down the documents in his hand, and looked solemn.
"Is this true? The Minister personally told me that you should return to the city and report to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I also handled all the related matters myself. How could there be any mistakes?
Who on earth spread rumors and wanted to ruin my reputation?
I have worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for so many years and have never received such slander.”
Secretary Wang became more and more excited as he spoke, and it was as if he wanted to find out who the other party was right now so that he could rush over and settle the score with that person.
Song Shishi directly reported Yang Huifang's name and her current situation in Huaiqing Brigade, and introduced herself to Yang Huifang's job. Now, due to national policy issues, she lost her job in the library. She also said that Yang Huifang had written to her asking for help but she did not reply.
She just stated the facts without making any judgements.
The rest will be up to Secretary Wang to judge for himself, so as not to cause Secretary Wang to have any negative feelings towards her afterwards.
People like Secretary Wang hate being led by the nose the most.
All decisions must be made by him.
After coming out of Secretary Wang’s office, Song Shishi went straight back to her own office.
In the office, Xie Youan has arrived.
But ever since the last incident in the cinema, Xie Youan has been avoiding her whenever he sees her, and no one knows what he is thinking.
However, Song Shishi was too busy with her own affairs to bother thinking about Xie Youan.
However, He Xiangzhe had been secretly looking at her all day long.
The look he gave her was very strange.
When Song Shishi looked back, He Xiangzhe gave her a kind smile.
The other person greeted her with a smile, so Song Shishi didn't feel comfortable asking anything specifically and just gave up.
When she wanted to drink hot water halfway through, she found that there was no hot water in the kettle, so she picked up the kettle and prepared to get some water.
Seeing that Xie Youan and the other three were in the office, Song Shishi didn't lock the file. Anyway, she had to come back to continue working after getting the hot water.
While getting hot water, she happened to meet Su Yao.
Because of this trip to Haicheng together, Song Shishi and Su Yao became more familiar with each other.
It happened that she had something to ask Su Yao about work, and when Su Yao was about to leave, she called Su Yao.
"Su Yao, there is something I don't quite understand, can you help me take a look?"
Su Yao agreed readily, "Okay, let's go to your office and talk."
Thinking that Xie Youan and the others were all there, Song Shishi nodded repeatedly.
"That's great. I was worried that it might be inconvenient for you."
"It's okay. I don't have too much work on hand recently, so I still have some free time."
The two returned to the translation room together.
Song Shishi pushed open the door, but found that Xie Youan and the other three were not in the office.
Song Shishi frowned slightly but said nothing.
But when she walked back to her desk and glanced around it, she keenly noticed that a document was missing from the desk.
The missing portion was exactly what she was going to ask Su Yao for advice.
Su Yao saw that Song Shishi's face was not right, and immediately asked: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
"I've lost a document!"
Song Shishi did not hide anything and pointed directly to the empty space in her neatly organized file bag.
Su Yao turned around and glanced around the office.
"Before you left, was there anyone else in the office?"
Song Shishi nodded, "There are only four people in our office. They were all here before I went to get some hot water."
"Don't worry, lock up the remaining documents first. Let's go find Mr. Xie and explain the situation to him first."
In the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the loss of documents is no small matter.
Confidential content may be involved, with disastrous consequences.
"That's all we can do for now."
Song Shishi didn't dare to waste any more time. She quickly packed up the documents on the table and locked them all in the cabinet. Then she followed Su Yao to find Xie Yushan.
Song Shishi and Su Yao were extremely anxious and jogged all the way, and finally found Xie Yushan in the information room.
As soon as they opened the door, they saw Xie Yushan standing in front of the bookshelf, holding a thick book in his hand, with a frown on his face, as if he was thinking about something.
Hearing the sound, Xie Yushan raised his head and looked back and forth at the two of them with a puzzled look.
"Thank you, Minister. I'm so sorry to bother you!"
Song Shishi tried hard to make her voice sound calmer, but her tone still showed anxiety.
"I've lost a very important document."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yushan's expression instantly became solemn.
He gently placed the documents in his hand on the table beside him and said slowly: "The loss of documents is no small matter, especially in our Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but don't panic, tell me what happened slowly, which document was lost?"
Song Shishi roughly explained which document was lost.
Su Yao added, "I met Comrade Song in the hot water room. We only exchanged a few words before returning to the office. Comrade Song said that before she went to get hot water, all the other colleagues in the office were still there, but when she came back, no one was in the office, and the document was gone."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Xiangzhe rushed into the document room in a panic, running out of breath, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his forehead, and he was even out of breath when he spoke.
"You're here! I finally found you! I just returned to the office and saw Mo Mingfei looking flustered and behaving suspiciously. He seemed to be holding a document in his hand."
As He Xiangzhe spoke, he wiped the sweat off his face with his hand, but a barely perceptible cunning gleamed in his eyes.
When he raised his eyes again, his gaze fell on Song Shishi, and he asked with concern: "Comrade Song, did you lose any documents?"
Song Shishi's heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously felt that the matter was not that simple, but she still said calmly: "Don't jump to conclusions yet. We can't arbitrarily accuse people without evidence. The most urgent task is to find the documents as soon as possible."
Xie Yushan nodded slightly, his eyes firm and his tone steady and powerful.
"Xiao Song is right. We can't wrongly accuse anyone so easily. This document is of great importance. Once leaked, the consequences will be disastrous. Let's split up and find Mo Mingfei."
Everyone responded and quickly took action.
Song Shishi jogged all the way and ran back to the office first.
As a result, just as she was about to enter the door, she bumped into Xie Youan who was about to go out.
Xie Youan held her shoulders.
