"Mr. Xu, I..."
Seeing Jiang Tong still trying to defend herself, Xu Rongguang ruthlessly interrupted her.
"The person who wrote this complaint letter is Bao Nan, the Director of the News Department at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I’ve met him; he’s upright and incorruptible. How could he possibly slander you?"
"Maybe he could..."
"Maybe what, maybe!? Xu Rongguang glared at her fiercely. "If they say you’re fooling around, you’re fooling around. What are you refuting?"
Jiang Tong: "..."
Right now, her heart was filled with a marvelous plant, called frustration.
But Xu Rongguang’s next words left her without any temper at all.
"Don’t blame me for not reminding you. Recently, they’ve been strict about discipline; one complaint letter can cost you five years’ worth of bonuses."
Five years’ worth of bonuses...
Bonuses...
This word startled Jiang Tong so much she shivered.
Xu Rongguang had been her mentor for three years and naturally knew her weak spots.
If people at the prosecutor’s office most fear the poker-faced group at HR,
then Jiang Tong’s sole nemesis was the HR people withholding her bonus.
Directly confronting her and deducting months’ worth.
After experiencing this, Jiang Tong always avoided people from HR, afraid of provoking them.
In her own words:
A warrior can be insulted and even killed, but their bonus cannot be taken away.
True enough, just seconds ago, Jiang Tong wore an expression of "who’s afraid of whom?"
Upon hearing this, she instantly became sycophantic, "Yes, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have been fooling around with relationships. I admit my mistake."
Xu Rongguang, free of any emotional fluctuation, glanced at her, "What’s the use of telling me?"
It’s not like he wrote the complaint.
Jiang Tong twitched her eyes, understanding Xu Rongguang’s meaning.
He was telling her to go apologize to Bao Nan in person.
But she feared she couldn’t control her emotions and might fling a pile of crap at his head.
Clearly, Xu Rongguang didn’t give her the chance to refuse, directly handing her an address.
"Here, don’t say I’m not looking out for you. If the complaint isn’t withdrawn, don’t bother coming back."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tong forced a smile uglier than crying.
"Mr. Xu, I guarantee I’ll complete the mission."
"Okay, you may retire now."
With a brief farewell, Jiang Tong stormed back to the Prosecution Department.
On the way, she glanced at the address in her hand and suddenly halted.
Ao Garden Century, Building 8, Unit 705
This damn place is right across from her?
Well, well.
Could it be that this sneaky Bao is her newly moved-in neighbor.
Living opposite her and daring to be this audacious?
Jiang Tong unilaterally declared.
Bao Nan is finished, and she’ll make sure to deal with him ruthlessly.
...
Ao Garden Century.
After submitting the complaint letter, Bao Nan still felt something was off, so he dragged Gu Qize over who was still catching up on sleep.
"Second Brother, what’s up again?"
"I don’t know."
Gu Qize: "..."
How is he supposed to respond to that?
He twitched his mouth in disbelief, "Second Brother, are you worried about how to face Sister-in-law then?"
He overheard Si Yuan Yang mention this once.
His second brother is completely a love-struck fool.
Total shutdown mode in front of her; if he’d been a bit braver, he might have won her back already.
However, with him, the little prince of romance around, there’s not much to worry about.
Thinking this, Gu Qize chuckled, pulling out a few scripts from his small bag.
"Second Brother, don’t worry. I’ve already prepared for this. Here are scripts I’ve prepared, based on my research on Sister-in-law, she’ll definitely say this later. Let’s practice a bit to ensure you maintain your perfect image in her mind."
