However, there were other leaders present, so he only dared to keep a dark expression and didn't dare to utter a single word.
Otherwise, it would be telling the whole world that he was protecting his daughter who stole someone else's things.
If he wants to maintain this impression, how can he continue to advance in his career? How can he continue to enjoy the feeling of being respected in this military hospital?
So he could only watch helplessly as everyone interrogated his good-for-nothing daughter, his face cold.
"Alright, next, let's hear from Comrade Zhang Chunyan."
Perhaps out of consideration for the presence of other leaders, neither Yuan Yue nor any other hospital leaders mentioned the relationship between Zhang Chunyan and Zhang Wendong.
Even Sheng Yi, the person who suffered the loss, didn't say anything.
Even so, Zhang Wendong was not appreciative and continued to stare at Sheng Yi with an unfriendly expression, even secretly plotting to teach him a lesson.
Zhang Chunyan was quite nervous being watched by so many leaders. She bit her lip, glancing at Sheng Yi, then at Zhou Jin, and then at her father who dared not utter a sound.
After confirming that no one could help her, she stammered out her reasons.
"I... I heard Brother Sheng say that these were local specialties he brought for everyone, and since we've always had a good relationship, I took it upon myself to share them with everyone. I didn't expect..."
She stopped there, looking at Sheng Yi with teary eyes, as if hoping he would admit that he had spoken first.
However, Sheng Yi had already given a different explanation, so how could he possibly contradict himself in front of all the leaders?
So he denied it without hesitation.
"Comrade Zhang, are you hallucinating? I never told you that this was a local specialty I brought back for everyone. I don't know where you heard that."
Zhang Chunyan's already pale face turned even paler.
"I heard you talking to someone else, anyway, you said it, you just said it!"
Sheng Yi continued to shake his head, solemnly reporting his itinerary since getting off the car, and making it clear that he had not chatted with anyone before going to the meeting.
With her explanations repeatedly denied by Sheng Yi, Zhang Chunyan was starting to lose her composure and swayed precariously under everyone's gaze.
Zhang Wendong saw this and felt a mix of heartache, disappointment, and a sense of shame.
Even though it wasn't made public, many people present knew that Zhang Chunyan was his daughter.
He closed his eyes tightly, just about to say something, when he heard his foolish daughter start accusing someone else again.
"No, no, I remembered wrong. It wasn't you who told me, it was Brother Zhou who told me, right, Brother Zhou?"
Zhou Jin was suddenly called out, and before he could hide the bewilderment in his eyes, he looked up and met Zhang Wendong's gloomy face.
He was no match for Sheng Yi in terms of skill, Yuan Yue was not as close to him as Sheng Yi was, and his family background was nothing to boast about, so he quickly made his decision.
So he closed his eyes and suddenly stepped forward, as if afraid he would regret it if he was too slow.
"Yes, I told her that because I presumptuously tried to guess what Comrade Sheng Yi was thinking, and I guessed wrong."
Many of our comrades brought back local specialties from home, which they shared with everyone, including myself.
I didn't expect Comrade Sheng Yi to be unwilling, and I directly told Comrade Zhang Chunyan, which misled her and led her to take such action. I am willing to apologize again!
