He did not go to the cafeteria at noon. After careful consideration, he went to Chi Fangping to ask for leave.

Chi Fangping had just finished lunch and looked surprised. "Ask for leave at this time? Is there something wrong at home?"

Gu Baoshan said, "Actually, Gao Jing and I got our marriage certificate a long time ago, but I never told anyone about it. A few days ago, she came over and left in anger because I didn't accompany her."

"Are you married? But I don't see it saying you're married."

"At that time, I wanted to keep it a secret and not let anyone know."

Seeing that Gu Baoshan lowered his head and looked like he didn't want to say more, Chi Fangping didn't make things difficult for him and even wanted to do Gu Baoshan a favor.

"You know we're very busy right now, and I wish everyone had eight hands. Logically, I can't give you leave, but this is a relationship issue, and we need to give you young people some space. I'll make the decision, and you can go back. If the higher-ups ask about this, I'll help you handle it."

"Thank you, Sister Chi."

"Don't be polite, you're quite good at hiding things." Chi Fangping said, "When will the wedding be held? Don't let the girl feel wronged."

Gu Baoshan agreed shyly and said he would leave today. After saying a few words, he went back.

He had packed his things long ago and talked to the driver in the afternoon. There happened to be a car going to the city for purchases, so he took the car to the city.

Ji Ling knew that Gu Baoshan had asked for leave, so Chi Fangping still came over in the afternoon.

"Gu Baoshan has something urgent to do at home. Logically, I shouldn't give him leave, but the situation is urgent, so I'll give him leave first." Chi Fangping apologized, "But I'll do Gu Baoshan's work, it won't affect our progress."

Ji Ling said, "Just let Accountant Chi make the arrangements."

As for Chi Fangping's hint that she was holding onto Gu Baoshan, Ji Ling ignored it.

Although they had only been in contact for two days, this was the second contact. Chi Fangping was quite a bitch, and Ji Ling had already discovered that.

Chi Fangping wanted to see Ji Ling being unhappy but unable to do anything about her, but in the end, nothing happened. Ji Ling was totally unprepared, which made her feel like she had punched cotton and she couldn't use any strength.

With so many eyes watching her in the office, Chi Fangping smiled and went back to her seat awkwardly.

In the following week, Ji Ling had sorted out most of the accounts and then asked about the progress on Chi Fangping's side.

Chi Fangping said that she was doing it, but actually she was doing it her own way. Half a month later, Ji Ling still hadn't seen the progress report submitted by Chi Fangping. She wanted to see what they had sorted out before first. Seeing that the matter could no longer be concealed, Chi Fangping told the truth.

"So what you mean is that you didn't do what I told you to do, right?" Ji Ling interrupted Chi Fangping, "You don't have to explain that to me, I just need to tell you, isn't that right?"

"Xiaoling, the workload is heavy. I hope you can understand everyone's difficulties. You're here for one summer and then you're leaving us with a huge mess. It's really difficult for us."

"Accountant Chi, I told you at the beginning that it can be sorted out in one summer vacation at most. You all know how many accounts there are. One year's accounts can be sorted out in more than a month, which is not a long time in total." Ji Ling looked at her deeply, turned around, grabbed the phone on the table, and dialed it directly.

It has been almost twenty days since Ji Ling came here. During this time, she has reported her work to the General Administration, and the person who has been in contact with her is Xu Yihua.

Ji Ling made a phone call at this time, and no one present tried to stop her, as they all knew that the matter could no longer be concealed.

During the nearly twenty days of keeping the secret, she was very nervous.

After hearing Ji Ling's report, Xu Yihua said in a serious tone, "Xiao Ling, I'm going to Director Cheng's office now to report the situation to him. Wait for my call first. Don't be anxious or angry."

After Ji Ling agreed, both parties hung up the phone at the same time.

Why should she be angry? She gave instructions on what to do, but it was Chi Fangping who took the lead in not following them. When something went wrong, it was Chi Fangping who was held responsible, not her.

"Xiaoling, you should give feedback. Logically, I should be the one to handle this matter. It's me who didn't obey my superiors. I won't blame you for calling your superiors now."

"Blame me? Blame me for what?" Ji Ling found it funny and looked at Chi Fangping with a cold gaze. "Accountant Chi, you may not have understood the current situation. First, the higher-ups sent me down to take over your problematic accounts. What you need to do is to fully cooperate with me, instead of pretending to obey me but secretly doing things to you. Now that the progress has been delayed and the problem has not been solved, who will take the responsibility? I am just reporting the actual situation back to the higher-ups. I am not complaining about you behind your back. I am telling you the truth. Why are you afraid that you will blame me?"

Chi Fangping smiled and said, "Xiaoling, you think too much. That's not what I meant."

"I'm not thinking anything. I'm thinking whatever you say literally."

The atmosphere in the office was tense and no one dared to speak.

Han Zhonghe and the other two were the most shocked. They had been making up new accounts, but they did not expect Chi Fangping to be so bold as to lead everyone in openly opposing Ji Ling.

The ringing of the phone broke the silence in the office. Ji Ling picked up the phone and called out "Director Cheng". After listening to the conversation on the other end, she explained the situation here.

Finally, he looked at Chi Fangping and said, "Director Cheng asked you to answer the phone."

Chi Fangping came over, took the phone and called out "Director". Even though she was trying hard not to let her expression change too much, everyone still noticed the difference from her slight change in expression.

Chi Fangping pursed her lips tightly. After a long while, when the other party should have finished talking, she explained, "The workload is huge. We can endure the hardship, but there are too many accounts. It is impossible to complete them in a short period of time. Let's discuss it and bring out the wrong items. Then use the final total account to subtract the wrong items. This way, we can speed up the progress."

"Okay, I understand."

"good."

After that, no one knew what was said on the other end. Chi Fangping said "OK" twice and handed the phone to Ji Ling.

Ji Ling took over and after hearing Director Cheng's question, she said, "According to my budget, it can be completed this summer. Now it's delayed by nearly 20 days, and my school can't be delayed. If we have to start over now, we have to send someone over later, preferably Accountant Xu."

"Okay, I got it." Ji Ling hung up the phone and looked up at the people in the office. "Director Cheng told us to follow my way. Anyone who objects can speak up now. I'll see how many people there are and report back to Director Cheng. He will send new people to replace you and you can go back to the bureau."

No one stepped forward.

No one would be stupid enough to stand up.

If you are replaced back to the bureau, you will be punished.
