Stand-In Boyfriend Fu Zheng Ji

Chapter 18 The Brave Thief
Ting Wu!

Zhang Ling had just signed the last document and handed it over to the secretary who sent it.

The secretary did not leave after getting the document, which caught Zhang Ling's attention. She looked up at the secretary who was hesitant to speak again and asked, "Xiao Jin, do you have anything else to do?"

Xiao Jin said with a look of embarrassment: "Mr. Zhang, I have been with you for three years, and I know your character best. But...but there is one thing, I don't know whether to say it or not."

Xiao Jin usually has a straight-talking personality, but today she seemed to be in a difficult situation. She put down her work and asked curiously:
"Xiao Jin, if you have any difficulties, just tell me, I can let others do it. This squeaking is not at all like the usual you."

Xiao Jin bit her lower lip lightly, clenched her fists with both hands, and mustered up her courage to say, "No, Mr. Zhang, it's not about work."

"That's a private matter." She always kept a clear distinction between public and private, and subconsciously glanced at the time on her watch. It was already a quarter past twelve noon, "Okay, what's the matter? Tell me."

"I know this is about your privacy. But I still want to ask you, did you let a man drive you to work in a million dollar sports car this morning?"

"Who said that?" Zhang Ling suppressed her panic and asked back.

She thought she had been very careful.Why was it still seen?
"It seems to be true." Xiao Jin lowered his head slightly, looking a little anxious, first muttered to himself, then suddenly raised his head, and said very worriedly, "Mr. Zhang, someone took a picture of you getting out of the car and posted it On the company's forum, the posts below are overwhelmingly calling you a fake and noble, real mistress."

After Zhang Ling listened, she didn't speak. She immediately opened the company's forum and found the slanderous post.After browsing for about ten seconds, there was no trace of anger, but a sudden laugh.

This made Xiao Jin standing in front of him tremble all over, and asked with some doubts: "Mr. Zhang, are you okay?"

Zhang Ling pointed contemptuously at the post, looked up at Xiao Jin, and said in a mocking tone:
"The person who posted this post doesn't have basic common sense at first glance. The official price of this gem blue BMW M2 coupe is only 599, and it is boasted as a million-dollar sports car here. Those who scold me are out of their minds. With one exception, water entered."

"That's right, that's how I explained it to them. But they just want to believe what they want to believe. No one listens to my explanation at all. It feels like someone is deliberately playing the rhythm." Xiao Jin immediately expressed his position.

"Really?" Zhang Ling returned her eyes to the forum posts, and began browsing again with a solemn expression.

Xiao Jin continued: "They also quibble that it doesn't matter how many tens of thousands of sports cars you get off. The important thing is that you get off a man's car is enough."

Zhang Ling looked at the post, the photo was taken very skillfully, only her front face, and Li Xiang's back.

Listening to Xiao Jin's narration again, he couldn't help cursing in his heart, what kind of stupid logic is this?

It's simply gangster logic created by fabricating rumors for gossip.

"Xiao Jin, thank you for telling me about this." Zhang Ling looked up again at Xiao Jin, who had a sense of justice, and was very relieved.

Xiao Jin reminded with some concern: "Mr. Zhang, it is the stall of the vice president of your competing group recently. This kind of post suddenly popped up on the company's forum, it must be a competitor..."

"Okay, Xiao Jin, I understand your concerns." Zhang Ling tried to be as calm as possible, not forgetting to comfort Xiao Jin, "Look, it's already lunch time, you should go to eat first. Don't worry, this I will handle it properly."

She watched Xiao Jin go away, staring blankly at the computer screen alone, thinking back to X joint venture technology company, working hard all the way from an ordinary employee to become the company's smart manufacturing project manager.

Every frame of the picture is filled with endless heartache and blood and tears.

You must know that a group like this will have a complex network of influence.It is not easy for a person who has no background and does not belong to any force to be in her position.

Although it is impossible for the top executives of the group to be all idiots, they will definitely consider the future interests of the group in order to select candidates for the vice president.

Even if all things considered, she, Zhang Ling, is the best candidate for the vice president, but it is even more impossible for the high-level executives to investigate the truth of the rumors for her personally.

The reason is that she is a woman, generally at her age, it is normal to consider getting married, and she will take maternity leave in the future, which will affect the company's operations.Therefore, in general, many companies will reduce the chances of women competing for jobs by a few points.

In the end, the top management of the group is likely to consider internal stability maintenance. A topic like her that arouses a lot of excitement will be considered not conducive to the unity of the company. Generally, they will take the initiative to choose to disqualify her as a candidate.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ling realized that no matter how she handled this matter, she would have a high probability of losing her qualification as the vice president of the competing group.

The man behind the rumors is definitely a master at playing with people's hearts.

That being the case, Zhang Ling can completely ignore it?Of course not!

If she ignores it, she will not only lose her qualification as the vice president of the competition group, but she may also lose her current job.

She is a person who can only deal with work, and is looking through the mobile phone address book in distress and panic to see if there are any human resources that she can turn to for help.

Father, he is old and in poor health. Hearing this will definitely affect his health;
Yan Yuan, this guy can talk about it, but with her IQ, I'm afraid it's all used in hooking up men.

When she saw her ex-boyfriend's phone call that she hadn't been able to get through for several years, she looked slightly sad for a moment, her eyes seemed to be crystal clear, and her fingers hovered over the red "OK to delete", but she still didn't click.

She still seemed to hold a trace of expectation for her ex-boyfriend in her heart.Looking forward to him appearing suddenly one day and explaining to her why he has been missing for several years.

Continuing to swipe the address book, Li Xiang's name flashed in front of her eyes, and she tapped the green button without hesitation, just like the days when her ex-boyfriend was by her side.

Presumably, in her subconscious, Li Xiang had already taken the place of her ex-boyfriend.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Daughter-in-law, it's me! I didn't bother you."

She didn't dial Li Xiang's phone number, but got through to her grandma's call.

Is it fate, or just a coincidence?None of this matters anymore.

When she heard Grandma's voice, she felt a little agitated inexplicably, as if she had received a call from her mother, she felt much relieved.

"No!" Tears welled up as she spoke.

"Did you hear me, I said that calling at this time will definitely not disturb my granddaughter-in-law." Grandma was on the other end of the phone, as if arguing with another person, her voice was very low.

Zhang Ling was confused and asked, "Grandma, what are you talking about?"

"Listen quickly, your granddaughter-in-law is asking you something." Another woman reminded vaguely on the other end of the phone.

Grandma went on to say, "Oh, daughter-in-law, grandma misses you. I just called to talk to you."

"Okay, I just want to talk to grandma too." Zhang Ling felt a little choked up.

The sensitive grandma realized something was wrong, and said in an increasingly excited tone: "Daughter-in-law, from your voice, it seems that you have been wronged. It was that bastard Li Xiang who bullied you, right? Don't be sad, grandma will help you now." You teach him a lesson."

Hearing Grandma's tone of wholeheartedly for her, my heart was warmly moved.But he also didn't want to be selfish and let Li Xiang suffer innocent disasters, so he quickly opened his mouth to defend:

"No, no, it's really none of Li Xiang's business. It's just that work is not going well. Now that I can talk to my grandma, I feel much more at ease."

"Oh, it's about work. Although grandma doesn't understand, don't embarrass yourself, granddaughter-in-law. You can come to grandma and talk to grandma at any time. When necessary, grandma will go all out and ask for one for you." justice."

This brought her back to her childhood in an instant. It was the kind of child who made a mistake and suffered a loss. Her relatives rushed to the front to take the lead, and even fought for three points without reason.

At this time, we who hide behind are extremely happy and full of security.

"Okay, grandma, I'll write it down." With a smile on Zhang Ling's face, she looked at the unfinished documents at hand, and suddenly got the motivation to work. She tentatively asked, "Grandma, can you call me?" Did you come here just to talk to me?"

Grandma heard Zhang Ling's intention to hang up the phone, and felt that it was time to reveal her real purpose.

"Daughter-in-law, it's Grandma's birthday in two days, and I want to invite you to have a meal together."

In fact, Li Xiang had already accompanied grandma two months before her birthday.

"This……"

If Li wants to raise this request, she may directly agree, because they are a "cooperative relationship".

But grandma skipped Li Xiang and asked her directly, and she didn't seem to have a good reason to agree.

Grandma heard that Zhang Ling was hesitating, and then spoke in a dull and sad tone: "Oh, there are not many days to live like grandma. If you feel embarrassed, granddaughter-in-law, this birthday is just fine."

"Go, I'll just go. Grandma, please don't say that." The kind-hearted woman couldn't help but agree to Grandma's request, feeling sad for a while.

"Granddaughter-in-law, that's it! If you have something to do, go ahead, and grandma won't bother you. I'll let Li Xiang pick you up on your birthday. Goodbye!"

After listening to grandma's cheerful expression, she hung up the phone before she could say "goodbye".

She faintly felt as if she had been kidnapped.Of course, it is not a physical kidnapping in the conventional sense.

However, her heart seemed to like this kind of kidnapping very much.The bad mood caused by the rumors on the forum disappeared in an instant.

Of course, she would not deal with this matter passively because of this, but actively used the lunch time, using professional information technology means, to try to check the person who posted it first.

The person who posted the post was too cunning. He chose a public network of a shopping mall that was far away from the company. Combined with the comparison of the posting time, it can be basically confirmed that this person is not in the company during working hours.

After learning this information, she let out a long sigh of relief, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a graceful arc.

Time passed quickly, and it was already the afternoon off-duty time, she didn't go home immediately, but went to the shopping mall to do some on-the-spot investigation...

She returned home under the repeated urging of her father's phone call.

As soon as she entered the door, she called her father as usual, but there was no response. She thought that her father must have gone out temporarily.

After a busy day and not eating lunch, she is too tired. She just wants to take a bath first to relieve her fatigue.

Pushing open the bedroom door, she saw a few men's clothes thrown on the bed, she thought it belonged to her father without thinking much, and put them away casually.

She lazily came to the bathroom door with her slippers on, and opened the bathroom door naturally as usual. A white mist came over her face, and she could vaguely hear a man talking to himself.

"Dad, why don't you lock the door when you take a shower?" She immediately exited the bathroom and shouted towards the door.

"Sorry, I forgot!" The man's voice sounded tense.

She suddenly felt something was wrong, thinking that a bold villain had come to the house.As if vowing to capture the villain alive, he picked up the small solid wooden bench placed by the door, and pushed the door aggressively to enter.

"What a brave little thief, if you fall into my hands today, you will never escape!"
