Chapter 104: Chapter 104 Mrs. Xiao Trapped (10)

"Who is that?"

"A teacher from the university design institute."

"Oh, the one who collaborates with our company and holds a nominal advisory position here, actually acting as his eyes and sniffing around everywhere. So, did he find any faults with you here?"

"Not really."

Zhan Dapeng tossed the folder back on the desk.

Sister Yao cautiously said, "I heard that you, Director, went out."

"I was supposed to go on a business trip, but there were some issues here that weren’t settled, so I had to turn back halfway. I don’t even know if he knew about my trip."

In her heart, Sister Yao thought, is it even necessary to say? He definitely knew.

Zhan Dapeng suddenly raised his head to look at her and said, "Right, I just heard that someone made him a cup of chrysanthemum tea."

This was something everyone in the company knew about, Sister Yao said with a smile, "Director, do you feel a bit disappointed that you couldn’t win over the new recruit to our side?"

"She studied finance, what would she do in our engineering design? It’s not her field." Zhan Dapeng left unsaid that since Gu Nuan was Xiao Yebai’s person, he couldn’t possibly take the initiative to recruit Gu Nuan and draw Chen Jiaming’s attention.

"That’s true," Sister Yao agreed, and without thinking, she mentioned the call she just received, "She’s now gone to the Merchants Group Three. They only figured out today that they had been duped by Group One."

"What do you mean?" Zhan Dapeng asked.

"It’s just that, maybe there was an intent to conceal things within the company. Group Three didn’t know about the ongoing investigations into Mingyue Plaza. Just now, Group Leader Fang called to ask me if it was true, and I couldn’t just tell him it wasn’t. Originally, this matter should have been communicated to them by their department head or the colleague who originally worked on this project." Sister Yao sighed, because Fang Yongxing was so focused on his work, it made many lazy people dislike him.

"He called you to ask about it, then what?" Normally, Zhan Dapeng wouldn’t bother with such trivial matters, since it was another department’s issue, but now that it was known Gu Nuan was in Fang Yongxing’s group, any move by Fang Yongxing could potentially involve Gu Nuan.

Sister Yao had no idea what he was thinking, she just answered directly since he asked, "Group Leader Fang went to the hospital to investigate the injured worker, and then his two other colleagues went to inspect the accident site. If you asked me, there was no need for that. The matter has already been investigated by others; could there be any mistake after three months? Group Leader Fang is just someone who’s overly serious—"

Zhan Dapeng turned around and walked out.

Seeing that he didn’t say a word, Sister Yao felt a bit stunned, not knowing what she said wrong.

Zhan Dapeng hurried back to his own office, closed the door, and called Xiao Yebai’s mobile phone again.

After a few rings, Xiao Yebai’s lazy tone sounded as if he hadn’t woken up, asking him, "What’s up, Fourth Brother?"

"Second Brother, do you know that Sister-in-law was assigned to Merchants Group Three?"

Xiao Yebai said, "I know, I just found out at noon."

While he spoke, Zang Xiaolian noticed he was moodily stroking his chin, knowing what was bothering him. It was definitely because of the declaration of love for his wife that he posted on Weibo.

Xiao Yebai thought he had posted a declaration of love for his wife, but Gu Nuan considered it as him being witless.

Indeed, who declares their love for their wife like that?

Expecting your wife to flatter you?

Do you think being a man and the son of the boss makes you so impressive?

Deserves a beating!

Zang Xiaolian shook his head, actually feeling a bit sorry for Gu Nuan.

"She’s in Group Three, and I truly don’t know who sent her there. But it might be that no one has noticed your sister-in-law’s talent. I intended to speak up, but then worried that your sister-in-law would say I’m meddling again and get her jumping mad at me. After thinking it over, I figured it might be better to let your sister-in-law suddenly shine like gold and stun those who are blind," Xiao Yebai explained, genuinely not wanting his wife to flatter him before he took action, he was just simply upset his wife wouldn’t let him help.

Zhan Dapeng stated the facts, "Group Three seems to be in a bad shape, but Fang Yongxing is a good person."

This was also the reason Xiao Yebai hadn’t rushed to intervene.

A good supervisor, and more importantly, a supervisor with integrity.

Fang Yongxing was known in the company for his integrity, his character was definitely acceptable.

"The problem is—" Zhan Dapeng continued reluctantly, "Group Three seemed to have just found out about the deliberate obstruction with Mingyue today. Group Leader Fang, being hot-blooded, took them straight to the accident site. I thought that an accident that happened three months ago couldn’t possibly occur again so soon. But when I just went around to their Merchants Department, no one from Group Three has come back, and it’s almost seven o’clock."

Xiao Yebai obviously knew about the issues with Mingyue. After brooding for a moment, Zhan Dapeng heard a thunderous roar come through his ear:

"With so much nonsense at the start! Couldn’t you just call your sister-in-law or Fang Yongxing?"

Zhan Dapeng replied with a grievance, "I did call sister-in-law, but she didn’t pick up. Fang Yongxing went to the hospital, calling him is useless."

"She didn’t pick up your calls, but she’s not me?"

Don’t know if Young Master Xiao had the self-awareness to realize that after doing something dumb towards his wife at noon, during his reflective moment, he knew his wife wouldn’t pick up his calls.

"It said the phone was out of service area," Zhan Dapeng answered.

Bang!

The phone was slammed on the other end.

Zhan Dapeng thought for a moment that something was wrong and quickly grabbed his suit before running out of the office again.

Zang Xiaolian nervously followed Xiao Yebai, saying, "Should we find a few more people?"

"If we wait for everyone to gather, your sister-in-law will be waiting for me to collect her body!" Xiao Yebai yelled while remembering to instruct him, "Call Doctor Tang and ask him to prepare at the hospital."
