"Xiao Man, you've seen it, but you're still not convinced?"

"Dad." Huang Man lowered her head in shame.

Director Huang asked, "What are you going to do?"

Huang Man looked at Ji Ling and said, "Chief Ji, I'm sorry. I will take responsibility for my mistakes. I will go and explain to Zhou Yuanbin's girlfriend that I was the one who spread the rumors."

Director Huang also said, "Xiao Ji, do you think this is okay?"

Ji Ling nodded, "Director Huang, let's do this. After get off work tonight, I will take Huang Man with me."

At this point, she paused, "It's not that I insisted on Huang Man to apologize, but the other party misunderstood Zhou Yuanbin and me, and caused a lot of trouble. To be honest, I was plotted against on Saturday and almost got into trouble. I didn't tell anyone about it. Later, I thought about it and thought that it must have been Zhou Yuanbin's girlfriend who did it."

Ji Ling didn't explain clearly what the matter was, but she said something happened. Director Huang's heart sank, and he knew it was a big deal, otherwise Ji Ling would not have found her daughter at the unit and told her about it directly.

He turned around and warned his daughter, "When you're done tonight, you must seriously admit what you did. Don't be afraid of losing face."

The other party was able to hurt Ji Ling, and Ji Ling was the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family, so it was obvious that he had bad intentions. And it happened that it was the daughter who caused this.

Huang Man said, "Dad, don't worry, I know."

After the discussion, Ji Ling took Huang Man to the office.

Even if the matter was discussed, Ji Ling felt that there was nothing she could confide in or talk to Huang Man about.

There was no one walking on the stairs, only the sound of two people's footsteps.

Huang Man followed behind, and was honest without her usual arrogance, "Chief Ji, I'm sorry."

Ji Ling continued to go downstairs without stopping or looking back. "Huang Man, it's great that you can recognize your mistakes and change your certificate in time. There are many children of high-ranking officials, but few are like you. If you behave well and get admitted to the unit at such a young age, I believe you will rise faster than many people in the future."

"Thank you." Huang Man felt that she had been blinded by a ghost before, how could she do such a stupid thing.

"By the way, how did you find Xu Li?" Ji Ling was very curious about this.

"She came here to look for you and asked about you. I noticed it and later took the initiative to ask her, only to find out that she was Zhou Yuanbin's girlfriend." Huang Man replied immediately, fearing that she would reply too late and make Ji Ling think too much.

Ji Ling raised her eyebrows, "What did she ask about me? It seems like it's not the first or second time, otherwise you wouldn't have noticed her."

"I saw her three times, so I noticed her." Huang Man thought about it and took a few steps forward, lowering her voice but still letting Ji Ling hear her. "She took Zhou Yuanbin's photo and asked the guard if Zhou Yuanbin came over often, and also asked what time he usually came over?"

Ji Ling smiled, "Does the guard know about this?"

"Know."

Ji Ling thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I understand."

It seems that I need to make some good arrangements for the evening. Xu Li has done so much, and now it will be easier for her.

When Huang Man saw that Ji Ling was not angry but smiled instead, she felt cold in her heart, as if someone was in trouble.

When they returned to the office, the people in the office found that Ji Ling and Huang Man seemed to be fine. Some people thought that Ji Ling was giving face to Director Huang, and thought that in the end she still had to curry favor with her superiors.

Ji Ling didn't care what others thought. Her goal was achieved. She first called Zhou Yuanbin and asked him to ask Xu Li out in the evening.

Because they were in the office, some things were difficult to talk about, and Zhou Yuanbin was smarter so he didn't ask too many questions. After agreeing on where to meet in the evening, he hung up the phone.

Ji Ling thought that Zhu Weidong would come to pick her up in the evening, so she didn't call Zhu Weidong.

"No, I have something to do tonight, so there's no need to ask Yaowu to pick me up."

"What are you doing?"

"I asked Zhou Yuanbin to make an appointment with Xu Li and meet Xu Li in the evening. There are some things to deal with." Ji Ling said directly.

Zhu Weidong on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, "Xu Li made an appointment with me tonight."

This time, it was Ji Ling who remained silent.

"I wanted to ask her in person, and then tell you after that, so I didn't tell you."

Ji Ling did not accept Zhu Weidong's explanation, "If I didn't say I was going to meet Xu Li at night, would you not tell me that you were going to meet Xu Li at night?"

Zhu Weidong tried to explain, but found that all his explanations were just excuses.

yes.

He also didn't understand why it was so difficult for him to admit something that he had thought was normal and simple before.

I felt as if my mouth was as heavy as a thousand pounds, and as if it were sewn shut. I tried with all my strength, but could not open my mouth.

Ji Ling already knew the answer and didn't want to ask any more questions. "Then you can go with Xu Li tonight."

"I'll pick you up."

They both spoke at the same time and were silent at the same time.

Ji Ling said first, "No, go meet up with Xu Li and see what Xu Li says."

".good."

The response to Zhu Weidong was the sound of the phone being hung up.

Ji Ling had adjusted her mood and was not affected, but Zhu Weidong took a long time to hang up the phone.

Zhu Yaowu stood up at the side, looking at his elder brother angrily, not knowing what to say to him.

He pointed at his eldest brother, then withdrew his hand and walked around the room angrily.

Look, look, he said to let his elder brother talk directly on the phone, what's going on now? One step late, what will the elder sister-in-law think? "Brother, go see Xu Li and tell the elder sister-in-law what's going on?" Zhu Yaowu didn't understand what his elder brother was doing.

Zhu Weidong was stunned for a moment, and it seemed that he only reacted after being reminded by his younger brother.

Zhu Yaowu took a deep breath, "Okay, let's stick to the previous plan. You go meet up with Xu Li and see what Xu Li has to say. My sister-in-law and I have the same idea on this point. My sister-in-law made an appointment with Zhou Yuanbin to bring Xu Li out, but Xu Li called you instead. It seems that Xu Li is suspicious and has a plan. We can use this incident to see what she has to say. If you see her at night, don't tell her that you have already communicated with my sister-in-law."

"My sister-in-law is still rational. She didn't argue with you. She knows what is important at this time." Zhu Yaowu glanced at his silent brother and went out.

I thought I would let him reflect on himself.

When it was time to get off work in the evening, Ji Ling was doing a summary and finished her work first, then she and Huang Man who were waiting for her left the unit together, and then they saw Zhou Yuanbin waiting in the car.

Ji Ling thought of the phone call Xu Li had made to Zhu Weidong, and guessed that Xu Li would not come with Zhou Yuanbin.

When Zhou Yuanbin saw Huang Man getting into the car, he vaguely guessed something.
