Problematic Sister Fell In Love With Me

Chapter 436: Chapter 437 Mutual insincere sincerity

“I’m pretending?” I looked at Zhang Mingjie with an innocent expression, “What do you mean Mr. Zhang?”

“Oh c’mon, Gong Fanlin instructed the Lin family to hire someone to harm you. If this matter doesn’t implicate me, why would I be looking for you! I want to tell you that I seriously didn’t know anything about it.” Zhang Mingjie said with a long face while pulling me to the corner of the lobby, “Early this morning, Ms. Mo came to the company with the police from the city bureau. Those policemen are still in the office upstairs now, and they are inquiring about Gong Fanlin’s situation from everyone in the investment department one by one. This is how I knew about what happened the night before. Mr. Chu, if I had known this in advance, I would’ve broken Lin Yunan’s leg to stop him from harming you. ”

Among the police officers who came to the company with Mo Fei, there was Dong Xiaoye as well. So of course, I knew the situation well. Gong Fanlin has been in hiding. Therefore, although Sister Tiger gave the evidence provided by Sang Yingjie to the city bureau at noon yesterday, the police did not act immediately.

Presumably, for them, the news of Xu Heng hiding in the eastern part of the city had been leaked by someone from the inside was far more important than Gong Fanlin’s attempt to hire a group of delinquents to harm me. This could be easily seen from Lin Zhi’s emergency internal meeting in the afternoon until the end of the night last night.

“I don’t quite understand what Mr. Zhang said,” I continued to pretend to be stupid, and said, “It was Gong Fanlin who hired a group of gangsters to stab me, why are you so nervous? It has nothing to do with you, right?”

“Mr. Chu, please stop pulling my leg,” Zhang Mingjie said with a wry smile, “It was us who arranged Gong Fanlin to stay in the investment department… Not to mention that the Lin family and the Zhang family are relatives.”

This guy actually confessed his relationship with Gong Fanlin so straightforwardly, it really surprised me, “Gong Fanlin is secretly working for you? How…”

I guessed that Zhang Mingjie certainly didn’t believe that I was surprised, but he didn’t expose it.

“When Ms. Mo first came to Fengchang and took charge of the investment department with the support of the chairman, she set up a general operation team. My father suspected that she wanted to train her own team and build her foundation. So… Sigh, but Mr. Chu, now it’s pointless to talk about this. I believe that you can already tell what my position is. Although we used to have conflicts, since I’ve already said that I would forget the past conflicts, I would never seek revenge against you again. Even if I really want to get even with you, I would not do such a foolish thing. After all, it would be so easy to trace it back to me…”

Zhang Mingjie was really good at shifting the blame. In just a few sentences, he shifted the responsibility of placing Gong Fanlin in the general operation team to his father. Mo Fei was young after all. Although the nature of the general operation team’s work is just running errands for other departments, this disguise obviously didn’t fool the old and cunning vice-chairman Zhang Li. He had seen through Mo Fei’s ambitions already.

As for Zhang Mingjie’s position… I didn’t trust him.

Of course, this did not mean that I believed that Zhang Mingjie had something to do with Gong Fanlin hiring someone to attack me. I agreed with what he said. If he really wanted to get even with me, he would not leave such obvious traces behind. Personally speaking, I also would not blame him simply because he was related to Gong Fanlin. But I knew one person would want to drag him into this, so I couldn’t show that I trusted him.

I vaguely said: “What you said is indeed very possible…”

Zhang Mingjie’s expression changed, “Mr. Chu, you still don’t believe me?”

“I believe you, but others don’t,” I showed him a troubled and sympathetic look. “You need to know that when that group of delinquents charged toward us while brandishing their knives, I was not the only one who was terrified by them. Those delinquents didn’t care who it was, they just stabbed anyone they saw. At that time we almost thought that we would die there. Fortunately, we were saved by our friend…”

In fact, it was true that Brother Wei almost lost his life that night. But when the rest of the delinquents rushed up, wanting to attack us, Sang Yingjie had already called for help, and in just a few moments, all of those delinquents were apprehended by his subordinates. Their action was so quick that Mo Fei and other people didn’t even have time to react. However, I didn’t know if Zhang Mingjie really didn’t know about this, or he simply pretended that he didn’t know, he actually didn’t talk about Sang Yingjie. He sighed and said, “this is what I’m worried about the most. I’m worried that Ms. Mo would not believe me.”

He finally went to talk about the main thing he was worried about, “The chairman told me yesterday afternoon that you strongly recommend me to join Project Thirteen Cities. He said that he would seriously consider it. But I didn’t expect that such an incident would happen today. Chairman already didn’t trust me much because of my father, but now with this incident… Mr. Chu, only you can prove that I am innocent. ”

Yesterday afternoon? The old fox Mo Yizhi must have heard about what Gong Fanlin did from Mo Fei, and then deliberately told Zhang Mingjie that he would seriously consider letting him join Project Thirteen Cities. Now the old fox must be overjoyed. If he insisted that Zhang Mingjie was involved in Gong Fanlin’s crime, then this reason was enough for him to refuse to let Zhang Mingjie join Project Thirteen Cities. Zhang Mingjie definitely wouldn’t be able to explain it clearly. After all, Gong Fanlin was arranged to stay in the general operation team by the Zhang family.

However, there were obvious flaws in Zhang Mingjie’s words. Xiao Yike had brought Sang Yingjie to the Lin family and almost turned the Lin family upside down. Even Gong Fanlin also heard the news about it and ran away immediately afterwards. So would the Zhang family really know nothing about it?

Gong Fanlin was arranged to stay in the general operation team by Zhang Li, and Zhang Mingjie was already in disagreement with his family because he publicly supported me in the company, so it was possible that his family didn’t tell him anything about what happened… But this was probably what Zhang Mingjie wanted me to think.

“I will explain this to the chairman for you.” Before Zhang Mingjie was delighted, I changed my tone and said, “However, I can’t guarantee how the chairman would think about it. After all, what happened that night also affected Ms. Mo, and Ms. Mo is the apple of his eyes. Moreover, Ms. Mo’s impression of Gong Fanlin is really not very good. Mr. Zhang, to be honest with you, Ms. Mo has suspected that Gong Fanlin has been secretly working for your family for a long time. Not only that, there are two more people in the general operation team that are secretly working for your family beside him. After what happened that night, she told me more than once that you must have been involved in Gong Fanlin’s crime…”

While I was observing Zhang Mingjie’s reaction, Zhang Mingjie was also doing the same thing to me? He fell into a daze after hearing what I said, but his eyes kept moving, seemingly thinking about how to respond to me. After a long time of silence, he sighed and said: “I knew that Ms. Mo would eventually find out about these things, so it’s reasonable that she would suspect me. I can only ask Mr. Chu to explain it to her for me. Sigh… It was all my father’s fault. He was trying to bully young Ms. Mo…”

The blame was shifted to his father, Zhang Li, but the implication was to admit that besides Gong Fanlin, there were also other people working for the Zhang family in the general operation team. As for how many of them exactly, that was not that important.

After I finished talking to Zhang Mingjie, I did not return to the investment department but went straight to the chairman’s office. This was deliberately shown to Zhang Mingjie.

Except for Mo Fei and Long Shan, no one else in the company seemed to have the privilege to be able to meet the chairman without making an appointment. Even Zhang Li also didn’t have this kind of privilege at all. But I was very surprised that no one seemed to want to stop me as I was heading toward the chairman’s office. Just now, I happened to meet the captain of the security department who was on a patrol outside the elevator door, but he simply smiled at me without saying anything and let me pass.

“Are you Chu Nan from the investment department!?” Someone suddenly called out to me.

Her voice moved from far to near with the sound of footsteps, and it had a crisp texture like the sound of high heels hitting the ground; it was cold yet euphonious. I turned my head looking for the voice, but she had already arrived before me.

The voice belonged to a very beautiful woman with long smooth black hair pouring down like a waterfall; so much so that it actually made me have the urge to touch her hair. Under her delicate eyebrows, she was wearing a pair of rimmed glasses similar to the style Mo Fei was wearing on the bridge of her nose. Her skin was very smooth and she didn’t seem to be wearing any makeup, but she still looked very refined. She was dressed in a red suit with a somewhat casual style, which may have already violated the company’s dress code. The gorgeous red colors did not make her seductive but instead brought out a strong and arrogant aura in her body. Combined with everyone’s awe-inspiring gaze, it could be concluded that this woman’s position in Fengchang was not low.

“Mhm,” It was normal that I didn’t know her. After all, I had a low position in the company. It was also not surprising that she knew me. After the company’s lobby was smashed and splashed with paint last time, there were very few people in the company that didn’t know me. I asked politely, “Excuse me, is the chairman in the office?”

I instinctively feel that she was a person whose position was similar to Long Shan.

“Oh my god, you really are Chu Nan!” This woman didn’t seem to hear my question. She covered her mouth and said in surprise. Her exaggerated reaction caused everyone to chuckle quietly.

I was dumbfounded. The demeanor of this woman changed so quickly.
