Xia Wan nodded. “Mr. Zhou, your analysis should be right, but we still need to get some actual evidence now. She couldn’t help but jump into action when it came to Sis Xiaorou’s clothes. It should be that Sis Xiaorou’s offer dented her self-esteem. I think it’s better to let Sis Xiaorou agitate her a little more. That way, she won’t be able to resist retaliating, and we can capture evidence of her crime on the spot.
After Zhou Tian heard what she said, he immediately asked, “Then how should we provoke her?”
Xia Wan explained her plan to Zhou Tian in detail. The more Zhou Tian listened, the bigger his eyes became. Finally, he gave Xia Wan a thumbs-up and praised her. “Wan Wan, you must be really brilliant to be able to come up with such an idea.
Xia Wan was a little embarrassed by the compliment. She grabbed her hair and said, “I’ve only read about such methods in some books. I’m glad that you don’t mind my scheming.”
It’s said that in ancient times, if a loyal official wanted to beat a treacherous official, he had to be more thoughtful than the treacherous official,” Mr. Zhou immediately replied. That’s why I don’t think that you’re too scheming. We’re just guarding ourselves and fighting against the evil. How can we not be more cautious?”
Xia Wan saw that Zhou Tian did not think she was scheming just because she came up with an idea, and it only made her approval of Zhou Tian go up. After talking to Xia Wan for a while, Zhou Tian hurriedly carried out her plan.
Zhou Tian went straight to Zhou Xiaorou’s house. Li Yan happened to be resting and accompanying his child at home while Luo Xin cleaned the furniture in the living room.
When Zhou Tian saw this, he deliberately handed the two sets of clothes to Zhou Xiaorou and Li Yan. “Yesterday, I heard you talking about Wanwan and the others setting up a stall. I thought your clothes didn’t look too good, so I took them to Wanwan and changed them. Look at this. Wanwan said that you would definitely look good in it. I’ll take you to a party in two days.
“Li Yan’s superior and old friend of mine heard that your health has improved a lot. He told me that you can go to work with him directly. Your position is the same as his.
“In the future, Luo Xin and I will take care of your children. The two of you can go to work and leave work together. How nice would that be?”
After hearing Zhou Tian’s words, Li Yan couldn’t control his expression. His face was filled with shock, and he couldn’t help but ask, “Why, Dad? Rou hasn’t worked in our unit before. How could she and I have the same position?”
After Zhou Tian heard this, he asked, “What’s wrong? You’re not happy that
Rou’er has the same position as you?”
Li Yan also realized that she had lost control of his emotions. She quickly said, “No, Dad, that’s not what I meant. I’m just surprised because my boss told me that if we want to be promoted, we must climb up step by step and have much work experience.”
“I thought that if Rou joined our company, the fact that we are a married couple would definitely be exposed. By then, Rou would’ve been promoted, and people would suspect that she must’ve used her connections.
“Dad, you know Rou’s heart is fragile. She can’t stand all this slander. Of course, I hope that Rou can have the same position as I, or even higher, but I’m afraid that she can’t handle those verbal attacks.”
Zhou Tian laughed when he heard that. “Don’t you worry. Rou had helped this company before you joined. They all know of her ability. Besides, they all know of her relationship with your superior. So, no one will object to her quick promotion.
Upon hearing Zhou Tian’s words, Li Yan could only suppress all the unwillingness and anger in his heart. He forced a smile and said, “Is that so? “That’s great. My wife is such an outstanding person.”
Zhou Xiaorou did not know about Zhou Tian’s plan. What Zhou Tian said was true. Li Yan’s unit had some financial problems in the past, and those problems were solved by Zhou Xiaorou.
Rou smiled in embarrassment after hearing Zhou Tian’s words. “It was just a coincidence. The accountant in Mr. Wang’s unit was on leave for something. The new accountant didn’t know much about this, so there were some problems. I helped him solve them..
