Chapter 120 Director Wu Comes to the Door
After chatting for a bit, the car started moving, and Ji Sisi leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes to rest.

When I woke up again, it was getting dark outside the car window.

Ji Sisi was woken up by someone tapping her, and Shen Zichen had already arrived beside her at some point.

"Here we are."

“Okay.” Ji Sisi stood up and followed Shen Zichen out of the car.

Back at the production team, Ji Sisi first went to the grassland with Shen Zichen, and only felt at ease after watching Brother Liu prepare the medicine and give it to the yaks.

By the time I got home, it was already completely dark.

The house was still pitch black. Just as Ji Sisi parked the car and was about to lock the door, Li Hongying came to the door with steaming hot buns.

"Sisi, you've just gotten back and haven't eaten yet, have you? Here are some shepherd's purse buns I made this afternoon. Take them and eat them so you don't go hungry."

"Thank you so much, sister-in-law. This is too much trouble for you."

Ji Sisi said a few words of modesty, then reopened the door and invited Li Hongying in.

"What trouble is this? Director Qi hasn't come back yet. If you come back so late, you definitely won't have any food to eat. You two are really alike, so busy that you don't even have time to eat."

Li Hongying hadn't visited Ji Sisi's house in a long time. She pointed to the apple seedlings in the yard.

"How come your saplings are growing so fast without anyone taking care of them? It's only been a short while, and they're already three or four meters tall."

Li Hongying thought back carefully. Last time, he was only a little over a meter tall. Has it been that long since he last came?
Ji Sisi transferred the steamed buns to her own basin, then quickly washed Li Hongying's basin and took it out.

"I don't know either, maybe the soil is suitable. Sister-in-law, come in and have a seat."

Li Hongying waved her hand, "I won't go, I have a lot of things to do at home. I just wanted to ask if you know what happened to the chili peppers in your yard?"

Mentioning Wang Cuicui reminded Ji Sisi that there were still things she hadn't done.

Qi Yan said that Zhang Qianjin's leave had been approved and he would be packing to go back to his hometown in the next two days.

"I'm not too sure about this either. It's probably because we couldn't make it work anymore, and getting a divorce is a relief."

Li Hongying thought so too. What could Ji Sisi possibly know? She was always out early and back late.

"We've been married for almost ten years, and suddenly you say you can't live together anymore, there must be a big problem. But you've had a long day, so get some rest."

Knowing that Ji Sisi had a long day, Li Hongying didn't want to bother her any further.

Ji Sisi went back to her room, but Qi Yan didn't return by ten o'clock, so she locked all the doors and went back to sleep.

Sixth Locust Flower Production Team.

After three days of medication, the yak's condition has completely improved, and Shen Zichen is going back to the commune to continue his training mission for the various production teams.

Ji Sisi had just arrived at the production team that day, and hadn't even parked her bicycle yet.

From afar, Liu Lan's voice could be heard, "Sisi, Director Wu from the Agricultural Supplies Office is looking for you. Come with me to the commune quickly."

"Director Wu is here?"

Ji Sisi was taken aback, put her feet on the ground to support herself, and waited for Liu Lan's reply.

"You've arrived early this morning. Director Yan also has something to discuss with you, so you'd better hurry."

Liu Lan sounded anxious as she turned a corner and started riding back, "Hurry up!"

Ji Sisi had no choice but to pedal her bike and follow, the two of them riding side by side.

"Did Director Wu come alone?" Ji Sisi asked Liu Lan.

"Professor Chen and a woman also came by car. It's strange, usually when they come to see you they drive directly to the Sixth Team, why did they park at the office today?"

Liu Lan also found it strange and glanced at Ji Sisi.

The two dared not delay and rode all the way to the commune without stopping. From afar, they saw the agricultural supplies depot's vehicle parked in the commune's courtyard.

"The person is in the conference room, you can just go in. I've been too busy lately, so I won't go with you." Liu Lan was also extremely busy. The women's director of the commune was sick, and the matter inexplicably fell to her.

"Well, go and do your work."

Ji Sisi went upstairs; the third floor was the conference room.

She pushed open the door. The conference room was very quiet, with three people sitting inside: Director Wu, Chen Chen, and a female colleague.

Ji Sisi took the initiative to ask, "Director Wu, why did you come to the office in such a hurry? Is there something you need to see me about?"

Surely he couldn't personally bring people to apologize to her and deliver her work ID, could he?
Ji Sisi observed the expressions on the three people's faces; none of them seemed relaxed, especially Chen Chen, whose expression was serious.

"Ji Sisi, we've given you everything you wanted, but aren't you going a bit too far by playing tricks on us? Do you know that we can report this to the police and take legal action?"

Director Wu's face was ashen, just as grim as it had been at the test site last time.

"Director Wu, I just walked in and you suddenly got so angry at me. Even if you sentence someone to death, you should at least give an explanation, right?"

Ji Sisi pulled out a stool and sat down, asking calmly, "How did I play a trick on you?"

You know perfectly well what you said.

Director Wu snorted and turned his head to the other side, refusing to look at Ji Sisi.

Ji Sisi frowned, utterly puzzled, and could only look at Chen Chen, casting a questioning glance at him.

Chen Chen met her gaze, hesitated for a few seconds, and then slowly spoke.

“According to our colleagues, you came to the station a few days ago, but we weren’t there. You got angry and insulted me and my mentor because the security guard wouldn’t open the gate…”

Ji Sisi listened to the whole thing, and her expression wasn't much better than the others.

She originally thought that such an outrageous thing would only happen in later generations; now it was the era of the "iron rice bowl," and the emphasis was on unity.

She was wrong. There are all kinds of birds in a big forest, regardless of the era.

"Director Wu, hasn't Sister Ping contacted you recently?"

That's not right. She gave the letter to Sister Ping the day she came back. If Director Wu had seen the letter, he probably wouldn't have reacted so strongly.

The only plausible explanation is that Sister Ping didn't send a letter to Director Wu.

"Why bring her into our business? She's had some trouble at home and doesn't have time to speak up for you right now."

Ji Sisi's expression softened slightly.

"Director Wu, Professor Chen, I did go to the Agricultural Materials Institute, but I never used my talents to belittle anyone, nor did I lose my temper..."

Ji Sisi recounted the events of that day in detail, "If you don't believe me, I did write a letter to Director Wu that day, but I had Sister Youping pass it on for me."

"Also, although I don't know why that person is so hostile towards me, if possible, I hope Director Wu and Professor Chen can give us a chance to confront each other face to face."

Ji Sisi also wanted to figure out why he was so hostile towards her.

Director Wu and Chen Chen exchanged a glance.

"It's not impossible, but if everything is true, you will no longer serve as our institute's technical consultant and will never be allowed to come to the institute again. Can you agree to that?"

He came today to give Ji Sisi a chance.

Although we haven't had much contact, judging from her personality and way of doing things, I always felt that Ji Sisi wasn't the kind of person Jingye described.

That's why he and Chen Chen drove here, their purpose being to clarify things.

"Fine, but if you've wronged me, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

The woman, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up and asked, "What kind of explanation do you want?"

"Those who spread rumors will be punished with job transfer and public criticism."
