Seeing that the people in the unit had already started to leave, Huang Man became anxious, "What are you doing? Are you being a hooligan? If you try to stop me again, I'll call for help."
Zhou Yuanbin was not afraid of the threat, "Go ahead and shout."
Huang Man had just lied, so how could she dare to call for help? She glared at Zhou Yuanbin, "Yes, I did lie, so what? It's much better than you and Ji Ling being shameful. You'd better know better and stop messing around, or I'll spread the news about you two and let everyone know."
Zhou Yuanbin said, "If you want to talk about something bigger, there are a lot of people here. You can do whatever you want."
Seeing that no threats or intimidation worked, Huang Man could only force her way out again, but was still blocked by Zhou Yuanbin.
Huang Man was so anxious that she was about to yell when she heard someone paying attention to her side, "Hey man, what's wrong with you?"
As the voices came over, people also walked towards this side quickly.
When Huang Man saw the person coming, instead of being happy, a look of fear flashed across her face.
Cheng Zhongze had already arrived, pulled Huang Man behind him, and looked at Zhou Yuanbin coldly, "Is it you?"
Although Zhou Yuanbin had only come here a few times to look for Ji Ling, and was always out, they were in the same department and Ji Ling was the head of the department. Cheng Zhongze wanted to curry favor with her, so he naturally paid attention to Ji Ling's movements and recognized Zhou Yuanbin.
Zhou Yuanbin didn't know Cheng Zhongze, so Cheng Zhongze immediately introduced himself, "Chief Ji and I are from the same department, and my last name is Cheng."
"Hello." Zhou Yuanbin greeted politely.
Cheng Zhongze originally wanted to play the hero and save the damsel in distress, leaving a good impression on the Huang family. But now that he saw that the other party was Ji Ling's friend, he felt a little worried.
"What were you doing just now?" he asked tentatively.
Zhou Yuanbin raised his chin and pointed at Huang Man. "I came here to look for your Section Chief Ji. This comrade said that Section Chief Ji was not at home. After I exposed her lie, she said that I had an improper relationship with your Section Chief Ji and wanted to spread it. I don't know her, but she said these things, so I think it is necessary to explain it clearly."
When Cheng Zhongze heard this, his head became even bigger. He blamed himself for meddling in other people's business and regretted even more that he wanted to gain benefits, but today he hit a wall.
It was obvious that Huang Man was being unreasonable and taking the initiative to provoke others.
Cheng Zhongze laughed dryly, "Huang Man just likes to joke around. Don't take it seriously. She just graduated and has only been working in the company for two years."
Families like Zhou Yuanbin's are the best at reading other people's expressions. They immediately saw that the other party wanted to be a peacemaker, so they started to smooth things over.
He smiled and said, "I'm going to work, but I'm not young anymore."
Without saying too much, just one sentence expressed his thoughts: today's matter cannot be let go.
"Yuan Bin?" Ji Ling thought she was seeing things from a distance, but when she got closer, she found it was true. She was also surprised how he knew Cheng Zhongze and Huang Man. When she got closer, she found that the atmosphere was not right, so she asked, "What happened?"
"Chief Ji, you're welcome to come over. I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first." Cheng Zhongze looked for an opportunity like a loach and slipped away immediately.
Huang Man also wanted to take the opportunity to leave, but Zhou Yuanbin stopped her again.
Huang Man's eyes were red. "Chief, I just lied and said you were not at the company, but your friend kept stopping me from leaving. I've already apologized. Is this how you bully people?"
Her voice was very loud. Some people who got off work late noticed the commotion here and looked over. However, since they were just working in an office, they couldn't bring themselves to come and watch the fun.
Ji Ling looked at Huang Man calmly, "My friend never makes things difficult for others. Is there something else that is not made clear here?"
Ji Ling said, "I knew it wouldn't be that simple."
She looked at Huang Man and said this to her, "Huang Man, I understand that you are holding a grudge against me because I didn't approve your fake, but you are spreading rumors outside to ruin my reputation. What do you think about this?"
"Now that you have caught me, I have nothing to say." Huang Man saw that things had come to this point and there was no turning back, so she simply stopped being afraid and raised her neck, staring back at Ji Ling, "Do whatever you want."
He left after saying this.
This time, Zhou Yuanbin did not stop her. He had stopped her before because he wanted to explain the matter clearly in front of Ji Ling. Now that Ji Ling knew about it, it didn't matter whether she was there or not.
"Let's get in the car first." Zhou Yuanbin looked around.
Ji Ling nodded and followed Zhou Yuanbin to the car, "Why are you here?"
There were people watching them everywhere, and they would attract too much attention here.
Zhou Yuanbin opened the car door and said, "You have been dealing with your sister's affairs these days. Miao Man told me that I have contacted Gao Jin. I want to ask you if you want to talk to him about this matter?"
Ji Ling asked, "Are you familiar with Gao Jin?"
"We're not that familiar with each other, we've only met in business. He likes cars and has bought a lot from me. You know, the antique business is very profitable. In fact, to be specific, he has a very good relationship with Xie Qiangguo. I got to know him through Xie Qiangguo."
Ji Ling knew that the circle in the capital was big and small, but she didn't expect that after going around in circles, she actually knew everyone there.
"This is a trap set by others for our family. I appreciate your kindness, but let's just forget it." Since someone dared to scheme against her, Ji Ling had no intention of letting the matter go.
"Based on my understanding of Gao Jin, he is not that kind of person. Maybe there is some misunderstanding." Zhou Yuanbin analyzed, "Maybe it was done by his subordinates and he doesn't know about it. How about I talk to him first?"
Ji Ling smiled and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but are you afraid that our family will come into conflict with Gao Jin?"
Zhou Yuanbin was silent for a while before he said seriously, “The Gao family has a backer, I’m afraid you’ll suffer.”
Ji Ling smiled and said, "We abide by the rules and laws, we are not afraid."
Seeing that Ji Ling refused to give in, Zhou Yuanbin did not try to persuade her any further. He sent Ji Ling back to the compound. When Ji Ling got out of the car, he rolled down the window and said, "Ji Ling, if you figure it out, call me."
Ji Ling thanked him, waved and left.
After returning home, Ji Ling told Zhu Weidong about this matter, "The Gao family has a backstage, our family has not committed any crime, they were the first to come up, regardless of whether he knew the inside story or not, it was because he did not manage the people below well, even if he was confronted, it was his own fault."
"Wei Kun called today and said that they might take action tonight." Zhu Weidong said, "You are right not to back down. It is not clean over there, so it is right not to have any contact."
He also didn't like Zhou Yuanbin's contact with Gao Jin. People like that were dangerous, and it was hard to like them.
When Ji Ling heard that the action would be in the evening, she was worried and waited for news in the evening.
"The news won't come out so soon. I'm afraid it will be in the second half of the night. You go to sleep first. I'll call you when there's a phone call." Zhu Weidong saw his wife dozing off and whispered to her.
