486: Quarrel
Yu Xiaoye simply stopped controlling his anger and asked loudly:
"Why don't you answer my question? Are you unable to answer because you feel guilty?"
Zhou Ziheng's lips moved. It seemed that Yu Xiaoye was really popular this time.
He knew that transferring Bai Zongdan to the logging company would definitely make Yu Xiaoye unhappy. He knew that he would encounter this difficulty and was mentally prepared.
But seeing Yu Xiaoye's furious look, he still felt upset.
Especially facing Yu Xiaoye's questioning, he didn't know whether he should answer.
If you answer, it will only lead to unnecessary arguments.
But if I don't answer, I'm afraid the grudge between them will only get deeper.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Ziheng said calmly:
"If I say I'm impartial, will you believe me?"
Yu Xiaoye didn’t believe it:
"Ask yourself, are you truly handling this impartially, without any personal grudges involved?"
"No--"
Zhou Ziheng looked into Yu Xiaoye's eyes and said:
"I don't care how others misunderstand me. I never care about what others think, but I don't want you to misunderstand me.
I do dislike Bai Zongdan because he wrote letters to you and secretly painted your portrait.
I said, I won't allow anyone with ulterior motives to approach you.
But this time I transferred him to the logging company, and I can honestly say that I didn't take revenge on anyone, nor did I abuse my power to oppress others!"
Zhou Ziheng's words were sonorous and his voice was firm.
No one who heard this dared to have any doubts.
Even if I have doubts in my heart, I would never dare to refute them.
But Yu Xiaoye didn't completely believe it:
"You say it so lightly and cleanly, as if you're so selfless. Do you believe it yourself?"
"No matter how I explain, you won't believe me?"
"Then tell the truth, why don't you tell the truth?"
"What truth do you want me to tell you?"
"The truth is, you deliberately retaliated against Xiaobai!"
Zhou Ziheng's tense cheeks twitched slightly. He gritted his teeth and remained calm.
"Xiao Ye, don't be unreasonable!"
"Yes, in your eyes I am being unreasonable, you are right, you are the director, and everything you say is right.
If you send Xiaobai to the logging company, you only need to give him a "severe punishment". No excuses are needed at all, and no matter what others say, it will be useless.
But let me ask you, if Xiaobai hadn't written me a love letter, would you have transferred him to the logging company without hesitation?
In other words, if Xiaobai had power and background and made such a mistake, would he be treated like this?
Think it over carefully before answering me."
But Zhou Ziheng answered without thinking:
"I'm powerful, is it my fault? I'm the director, I have the power to punish anyone! I'm not afraid of anyone questioning me!"
"You finally told the truth, didn't you? Because you have power and influence, and Xiaobai has nothing, so you are high and mighty, openly using your power to oppress others!"
"I said, I didn't!"
Zhou Ziheng raised his voice unconsciously. He seemed to be forced into a corner by Yu Xiaoye. He had nowhere to retreat and no way to escape. He was trapped in the corner alone and desperately.
He knew that he would have disagreements with Yu Xiaoye on this matter.
But I didn't expect that the differences between the two would be so big.
He didn't expect that after such a long time, Yu Xiaoye still didn't believe him and questioned him everywhere.
Zhou Ziheng didn't want to continue arguing with Yu Xiaoye. He sighed, rubbed his eyebrows painfully, and said:
"You have your perspective, and I have mine. If you can't understand, can you please respect my decision?"
"I respect you, do you respect Xiaobai?"
Zhou Ziheng was in tears:
"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, you keep calling me Xiaobai. We've come all this way, and we still don't have enough trust in each other. Are we really going to quarrel over such an insignificant person?"
"I trust you, but do you trust me? I told you I don't have any feelings for Xiaobai, and he didn't actually give me the love letter. Why are you still so relentless in punishing him? Have you ever trusted our relationship, or my feelings for you?"
When talking about their relationship, Zhou Ziheng felt soft in his heart:
"I trust you, of course I trust you."
Yu Xiaoye looked at Zhou Ziheng with burning eyes:
"If you trust me, then transfer Xiaobai back. You can send him anywhere, but don't send him to the logging company."
Zhou Ziheng shook his head slowly:
"No, no, I won't change my mind overnight."
Yu Xiaoye's chest was heaving with anger and he was breathing heavily.
Seeing her like this, Zhou Ziheng held Yu Xiaoye's shoulders with both hands again.
Yu Xiaoye roared:
"Don't touch me!"
She pushed Zhou Ziheng hard.
But Zhou Ziheng did not let go and still held her arm tightly.
At this moment, the door opened a crack, and Secretary Jiang, with a terrified look on his face, poked his head in and asked:
"Director——"
"Get out!" Zhou Ziheng roared at the door.
Secretary Jiang saw Zhou Ziheng so angry for the first time and was so scared that he quickly closed the door.
After closing the door, Zhou Ziheng said to the furious Yu Xiaoye in a pleading tone:
"Xiao Ye, let's stop arguing, okay?"
"I don't want to argue with you, it's you who's being unreasonable!"
"How do you want me to reason with you and transfer Bai Zongdan back? Why do you care about him so much? You quarreled with me for him and hurt my feelings with your words. You care about him, but can you care about me too?"
"I care about him, so it makes you feel uncomfortable, right? If I care about any other man, will you dispose of them all? Do you only look at him if I like the man I like?
We are unhappy, including Brother Jia. Zhou Ziheng, I have had enough of your tyranny! "
Zhou Ziheng's heart ached:
"Don't say such cruel things!"
"Who is so heartless? Let me go!"
Yu Xiaoye continued to struggle.
Zhou Ziheng refused to let her break free.
At this time, the door opened again, and Secretary Jiang poked his head in, and reminded nervously:
"Manager, stop arguing. People outside can hear you arguing—"
"go out!!"
Secretary Jiang hesitated for a moment, turned his head and looked at the people gathered at the door listening to the excitement, and then he boldly reminded again:
"There's someone outside."
"I say it again, get out!!"
Secretary Jiang was frightened by the overwhelming anger and closed the office door again. He and Xiao Gu began to drive away the people who came to watch the fun:
"Go, go, go, hurry up and leave. Don't crowd around here. What's so good about it—"
However, as soon as they were driven away from here, they came over again from the other side.
Everyone in the office building gathered around and asked slyly:
"Hey, what's going on in there?"
"Who is so bold as to go to the office and cause trouble with the director?"
"From the sound of it, it's a woman."
"Did you see who went in just now?"
"I didn't see—"
"Secretary Jiang, you must know who it is. Can you tell me something?"
When people in government agencies gossip, they are no different from the old men and women in the village.
