Chapter 230

Qi Yingying had merely been polite, thinking that she should at least save some face for the other person and improve her image among her colleagues.

After all, in her colleagues' eyes, she was always the most gentle and understanding.

Moreover, her family's circumstances were good, and she never competed with them for anything.

Her family's atmosphere and her stable emotions were what others envied.

Today, seeing someone not much older than her daughter who was so ambitious and driven, while her own daughter was fixated on marrying that useless tyrant from the compound, how could she not be distressed?

However, Qi Yingying never expected such a response; she was completely stunned.

What did it mean?

What did she say? She said she looked somewhat similar to her man?

Qi Yingying's heart raced. Although she hardly dared to believe she could be this lucky, finding the person she was looking for right away, what if it was true? She had already been through so much; why couldn't she catch a break?

Qi Yingying suppressed her excitement and genuinely smiled at Bai Xiuxiu: "Really? How old is your partner? You look quite young; he must be around your age, right?

What does he do?"

Bai Xiuxiu answered truthfully: "He's one year older than me and works at the canning factory in our county. I hope I wasn't being too forward just now. But I really do think we look similar."

Bai Xiuxiu's face was full of sincerity.

Hearing this, Qi Yingying became even happier, wishing she could see him right away and conduct a thorough investigation.

Unfortunately, she still had work to do, and work mustn't be neglected.

Behind her, Zhou Jiaojiao, who had been nervous ever since she saw Qi Yingying, finally managed to stay close to Director Du as he finished his business. Finally, they could come out together.

But then she saw Bai Xiuxiu chatting amiably with the head of the He family, which scared her witless.

She rushed over without hesitation: "Bai Xiuxiu! What are you doing?"

She tried to pull Bai Xiuxiu away.

How could Bai Xiuxiu let her? She dodged and asked Zhou Jiaojiao: "What do you want? Are you crazy? Why are you pulling me?"

Zhou Jiaojiao's expression changed. She wanted to drag Bai Xiuxiu away but couldn't reveal her intentions. If anyone noticed, it would be disastrous.

But staying here meant risking Bai Xiuxiu interacting with Wang Qinghe.

What about her plan then?

Zhou Jiaojiao panicked but couldn't find a solution.

After a long pause, she blurted out: "They're here to investigate. Talking to them like this might make them think you're trying to bribe the leadership. Bai Xiuxiu, I'm doing this for your own good.

Even though you're not filial to Dad and got Mom arrested, we're still sisters-in-law. I can't just watch you make mistakes."

Even in this moment, Zhou Jiaojiao didn't forget to smear Bai Xiuxiu.

Bai Xiuxiu had heard these accusations so many times that she rebutted them effortlessly, her tone tinged with shock: "Zhou Jiaojiao, how can you slander the investigators like that?"

"When did I...?" Zhou Jiaojiao was taken aback. Was she slandering the leadership?

She just wanted to embarrass Bai Xiuxiu!

"Talking to the leadership can be misunderstood as bribery? How are you helping me? It seems you're the one misunderstanding. The leadership isn't that kind of person who accepts bribes. You're going too far!" Bai Xiuxiu was furious.

Director Wang was already annoyed by Zhou Jiaojiao's sudden intrusion and lack of manners. Now, he supported Bai Xiuxiu: "Yes, Xiao Bai is right. Zhou Jiaojiao, how did Old Du teach you?

Does talking to each other mean bribery?

With an attitude like yours, no one will ever speak again; we might as well all be mute."

Zhou Jiaojiao turned pale: "I, I didn't mean that..."

"Then what did you mean? Do you think the two leaders look like people who can be swayed easily?" Bai Xiuxiu countered again.

"I, I didn't." Zhou Jiaojiao was on the verge of tears; Bai Xiuxiu was too malicious, constantly defaming her.

Damn, what should she do now?

If Qi Yingying and Bai Xiuxiu interacted, there could be trouble.

Why couldn't something happen to keep them apart?

It would be great if Bai Xiuxiu could leave right away.

Zhou Jiaojiao desperately wished for such a miracle.

"This young comrade's thoughts aren't right," Director Tan observed, looking at Zhou Jiaojiao and then at Bai Xiuxiu, understanding the situation.

These two young people seemed to have a grudge, but this Zhou was going too far.

When Zhou Jiaojiao was criticized, Director Du, who had just arrived, immediately wanted to send her back to the meeting room.

Why did she run off so quickly? In just a moment, she had caused trouble again.

"Xiao Zhou, what's wrong with you? What did you do?" Du Juan hurried over, trying to understand what was happening.

"Old Du, you came at just the right time. We were talking with Director Tan, and then this Xiao Zhou suddenly showed up, saying she was doing us a favor by worrying that we might be suspected of bribing the leadership.

Tell me, is there anyone like her?

Who would bribe the leadership so openly?

Besides, the leadership clearly looks incorruptible. How could they lack willpower?

Tell me about her…"

Director Wang added fuel to the fire.

Du Juan looked at Zhou Jiaojiao, whose face was not looking good, feeling very depressed.

Why was she so unlucky? Why did Zhou Jiaojiao end up here?

She had only just been promoted, and now she was causing trouble?

Du Juan forced a smile. "Two directors, please let me explain. She's new and doesn't know anything. She’s related to Xiao Bai and was just worried about her. Rest assured, I will talk to her and teach her properly.

I won’t let her cause any more trouble for you."

"Director Du, you’re too polite. We all need to supervise each other. This young comrade’s words aren’t wrong. We wouldn’t dare blame her; otherwise…" Qi Yingying, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.

She looked at Zhou Jiaojiao and found her familiar.

After thinking for a while, she remembered that this was someone connected to their family’s younger brother-in-law.

She had seen it herself.

She was new, and it seemed He Youde had arranged work for her and her husband, right?

Hearing this, Director Du couldn’t stay any longer.

She cursed inwardly, hoping that during the upcoming inspections on various streets, they would be fine.

Otherwise, they would have trouble!

Thinking this, Director Du couldn’t even force a smile. "Yes, yes, the leader is right. I’ll take her away now."
