At this mont, He Yunyi’s car is parked opposite the power company. He sits inside the car, watching the entrance of the power company, and says to the person on the phone:
"Are you okay?"
Chen Ningxi casually asks, "Are you referring to the online exposure of my issue?"
He Yunyi initially wanted to be more tactful, but Chen Ningxi went straight to the point.
Her personality has always been like this, even during school days—straightforward yet reserved, courageous and bold, which is what makes her particularly attractive.
He Yunyi had a crush on Chen Ningxi for three years in high school, three years, ending without result.
When they t again, he thought his chance had co, only to find out he was not in her quadrant.
He Yunyi asks, "Is there anything I can do to help?"
Chen Ningxi laughs, "If Mr. He says so, then I won’t be polite."
He Yunyi: "..."
Chen Ningxi laughs, "You, the educator, what could I possibly ask for? Teach those internet trolls a civic lesson?"
He Yunyi rests his hand on the steering wheel, amused by her, "Seems like you are stronger than I imagined."
"Thank you, Mr. He, for the affirmation." Chen Ningxi says, "No worries, I’m doing well."
He Yunyi’s words are on the tip of his tongue, but he doesn’t know how to ask, "You... he..."
Chen Ningxi says, "Mr. He, hesitant words are so unlike you. There’s nothing we old classmates can’t talk about."
Since it ca to this point, He Yunyi frankly asks, "Your husband didn’t give you a hard ti, did he? If he bullies you because of this, tell , none of the guys from our class will let him off."
Chen Ningxi says, "No, he treats well. It’s actually ; at first, I couldn’t accept it. I even ntioned divorce, but he didn’t agree."
"...Really?" He Yunyi admires Cheng Qiaobei even more, "That’s good. Your happiness is our joy."
Chen Ningxi says, "Thanks for the support from our classmates."
He Yunyi says, "I’m done. You should hurry to Auntie’s place."
Chen Ningxi: "Okay, hanging up."
She puts down her phone. Ever since the news broke out, many people called, but because she had her phone on silent at Liang Lei’s place, she missed many calls.
However, those calling back with concern were few and far between.
Friends in a lifeti are like marbles in a circle, filtered and cast away ti and again, until there are fewer marbles left in the circle, so remaining with two or three, so with none.
Chen Ningxi knows one or two marbles will remain in her circle.
...
The head office organized business learning, and Chen Ningxi submitted Lu Xingyan’s na.
This is a half-year business training that swaps between north and south, and the city he is going to is precisely the substation under his father Lu Mingxuan’s jurisdiction.
Lu Xingyan knows it’s a deliberate arrangent by Chen Ningxi, and angrily goes to her office.
Running up from the second floor, panting, he closes the door, walks up to her, and asks:
"Just because I said I liked you last ti, you want to send away?"
Chen Ningxi calmly raises her head, "Lu Xingyan, this is the office. You are at work, I am your supervisor, what are you doing? Acting in a soap opera?"
Lu Xingyan chokes, "..."
Chen Ningxi sits behind the desk, authoritative without anger, "This exchange learning is a training opportunity for you. If you can’t see through this, then you’re really not mature enough. You’ve graduated a year from college, right? Still can’t adapt to society? If you can’t adapt, this is not a kindergarten, and I have no obligation to constantly guide you. For those unable to adapt to their positions, I can only report to the higher-ups to transfer you from Danjiang Electric Power."
"Please don’t." Lu Xingyan softens his attitude, "I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said that."
"Lu Xingyan, watch your attitude. I am your supervisor." Chen Ningxi sternly reprimands, "Get rid of those inappropriate thoughts, sober up and be rational. If you keep causing trouble, even if the head office doesn’t transfer you, I’ll find your dad to drag you away."
Lu Xingyan lowers his head, "Do you really hate that much?"
Chen Ningxi is truly exasperated by him, speechless with anger, "I’ll remind you again, you are an employee, I am your supervisor, we are in an official role, you do not have a personal grudge. Considering your business ability and expertise, this training is very relevant to you personally. Any other questions?"
Lu Xingyan looks at her, shakes his head, "...No."
He turns and leaves, his back looking desolate.
Chen Ningxi averts her eyes, "Really creating too much trouble."
At the sa ti, Cheng Qiaobei flips through the materials in hand, evidence that Deng Yan collected on Cheng Siluo hiring a private investigation company to inquire into Chen Ningxi’s dical records, and after confirming that the evidence is complete and without omissions, seals it in an envelope and hands it to Lawyer Jin beside him, "Lawyer Jin, I trouble you to make a trip."
Lawyer Jin says, "It’s my duty."
Once Lawyer Jin leaves, Cheng Qiaobei answers Liang Lei’s call.
Liang Lei: "I’ve found the poster’s ho address, along with their na and identity information. I’ll send it to your WeChat."
For the lawsuit, the opponent’s personal information is needed. Cheng Qiaobei thanks, "Thank you."
Liang Lei continues, "I’ve also contacted the website manager, and the post has been locked with evidence preserved. As long as the police get involved, the website will actively cooperate."
Cheng Qiaobei: "Well done."
Liang Lei covers her mouth, "Although I’m on maternity leave now, the na of Heroine Liang still carries weight in the community."
Cheng Qiaobei laughs softly, "Heroine Liang is celebrated; who wouldn’t give her due respect?"
"Haha..." Liang Lei just laughed, and suddenly Manman in the crib started crying.
"Wah..."
"Oh my goodness, are you renting this sleep? Can’t you sleep a little longer?"
The sound of Manman crying cos through the phone, and Heroine Liang instantly switches roles, "Mommy’s here, mommy’s here, don’t cry." Then she says to the person on the phone, "Alright, I’ll leave the rest to you."
Cheng Qiaobei writes down the journalist’s personal information on a notepad and hands it to Deng Yan, "Give this to Officer Li. The number below is the website manager’s contact, the police’s involvent will allow the website to cooperate with providing the opponent’s backend data."
Deng Yan nods, "I’ll go take care of it now."
Cheng Qiaobei opens Liang Lei’s WeChat and types: Could I trouble Heroine Liang with one more thing? Can you help find the information on those few people with hot comnts?
Liang Lei replies ten minutes later: OK.
After work, Cheng Qiaobei stops by to buy the handcrafted ice jelly Chen Ningxi loves, and as soon as his car arrives at the community parking space, Liang Lei’s ssage cos through.
The information of the seven hot comnts and related personnel is clearly listed, but she also sends another ssage.
Liang Lei: Guo Heming, that despicable person, turns out he’s involved too.
In the rear-view mirror, Cheng Qiaobei’s expression instantly shifts from affable to cold and harsh, his gaze sharp and chilling, his lips pressed into a straight line, grinding his molars fiercely.
He replies: Got it.
