Chapter 121 Intimidation
In an era where jobs are considered secure, it's not easy to fire someone.

Ji Sisi chose to transfer her to another position and issue a public reprimand, so that everyone in the agricultural materials institute knew that she had made a mistake.

Every time the institute talked about this incident afterward, it was always about punishing the person and constantly reminding him of his wrongdoing.

The woman frowned, feeling uneasy. "Isn't this punishment a bit..."

"Okay, I agree, let's do it this way."

Director Wu readily agreed, saying that his agricultural materials institute didn't need people who spread rumors and caused trouble and didn't focus on experimental research.

This is a good example to make an example of others.

"Master, this..."

Director Wu raised his hand to signal her to stop talking, "Xiao Ke, there's no need to say anything more, let's just do it this way."

"Then when do we leave?"

Ji Sisi couldn't wait to slap that person in the face. She didn't have the chance a few days ago, but she had to vent her anger today.

Director Wu, "If you have nothing else to do, you can go back now."

Just as Ji Sisi was about to reply, Director Yan knocked on the door and came in excitedly.

"Sisi, has the matter been resolved? If so, come with me to the county. County Chief Wei's secretary called and said that County Chief Wei has mentioned the matter of your retirement..."

Director Yan deliberately left it at that, revealing the important information to save face for Ji Sisi.

He just went upstairs and 'coincidentally' overheard the entire conversation inside from the doorway.

They only barged in because they could no longer tolerate it.

"They haven't left yet, Director Wu. Have you finished your discussion? If there's nothing else, I'll take Sisi into the city."

The four people in the conference room only came to their senses after the words were spoken.

Ji Sisi stood up and turned around, her brows furrowed in confusion.

Director Yan gave her a reassuring look. "Not yet? If not, I'll wait a little longer."

"Director Yan, this...you just said the county head's secretary called?"

Director Wu suddenly became reserved, and his speech became more serious and formal than usual.

"Yes, Sisi is very clever. Even the county magistrate has to wait and hear her ideas."

At this moment, Director Yan was like a proud parent showing off their child's perfect score.

Director Wu glanced at Chen Chen and gave him a meaningful look.

"Director Yan, I'm sorry, we have a misunderstanding with Sisi. We need to go to the institute to clear it up so that our subsequent work can be easier."

Chen Chen suggested, "Since Director Yan is also going to the county, why don't we take his car? It's on our way anyway."

Director Yan smiled and agreed.

“Sure, that will save on transportation costs and time. I’ll go with Sisi. Once things are settled, we’ll go to the county government compound.”

When everyone came downstairs, Ji Sisi deliberately called out to Director Yan, and the two of them walked behind.

"Director, what does County Chief Wei want to see me about?"

Ji Sisi looked straight ahead, paying attention to Director Wu and the others, and asked in a low voice.

"It's that idea you mentioned to me last time about setting up a processing plant to make local specialties, like air-dried yak into a local specialty. I didn't expect the county head to be interested."

"Sisi, you'd better do your best later. There are so many people who never even get to see the county magistrate in their entire lives. Get ready, and don't be too casual with your words."

Director Yan gave detailed instructions.

When they arrived in the county, Ji Sisi still felt it was unreal and was flattered.

"Director, didn't you say my method wouldn't work? How did the county head know that?"

Ji Sisi now seizes every opportunity to get together with Director Yan.
She needs to understand the whole story first before she can make her move later.

In her past life, she made a name for herself by livestreaming and helping farmers in her hometown, which gave her the opportunity to meet the county head and receive praise.

But now, she has done nothing, and just by offering a verbal suggestion, she has the opportunity to meet with the county magistrate. Her heart is pounding with nervousness.

Agricultural Supplies Office. The large iron gate was pulled open, and the car drove in for a short distance before Ji Sisi suddenly remembered something and called for a stop.

"Professor Chen, could you please stop for a moment?" After saying that, Ji Sisi got out of the car and found the gatekeeper.

Fortunately, it was the same old man from the other day. "Sir, I'm the one you wouldn't let me in a few days ago. Do you remember me?"

The old man looked at Ji Sisi, trying hard to recall, then pointed at her, as if he remembered.

"Oh, I remember now, you're that woman who said she worked at the institute but didn't have a work ID..."

When Ji Sisi appeared, he felt something was wrong.

"Hey? Don't you not have a work permit? How did you get in? Get out, get out!" the old man said, starting to shoo him away.

Chen Chen parked the car and turned back to find Ji Sisi.

Seeing Ji Sisi being pushed out by Uncle Zhou, she spoke up to stop him, "Uncle Zhou, this is not an outsider, but our institute's technical consultant."

Uncle Zhou froze, staring at Chen Chen in surprise.

Ji Sisi forcefully pulled her hand away, not expecting the old man to react so strongly.

"This is the old man who stopped me the other day. Let's call him up too."

Chen Chen nodded. "Uncle Zhou, could you go up to the third floor and visit my master's office for a bit? We need to talk about something."

Now that Chen Chen has vouched for Ji Sisi's identity, Uncle Zhou thought about his attitude towards Ji Sisi a few days ago.

"Professor Chen, is this woman really from our institute? Then how did she end up with Xiao Xiao..."

Uncle Zhou was completely baffled. Xiao was Professor Chen's assistant; she should know this woman by now.

Why did Xiao do this on purpose, causing him to be implicated as well?

Uncle Zhou felt uneasy.

Chen Chen patiently repeated, "Yes."

Ji Sisi snorted and asked Uncle Zhou, "Grandpa, I heard that I made a scene at the door a few days ago and even cursed loudly. Have you heard about this?"

Uncle Zhou shook his head honestly.

"That's not true."

Chen Chen glanced at Uncle Zhou, his face expressionless.

"Go up and talk."

Seeing Chen Chen's calm expression, Ji Sisi followed behind him and said, "This kind of thing can be easily solved by asking the security guard. Why go through all the trouble of coming to the countryside to find me?"

"This is no small matter."

After saying that, Chen Chen didn't speak to Ji Sisi again.

Instead, Ji Sisi started threatening Uncle Zhou, "Grandpa, if you don't believe me, just wait and see. Now we're in trouble. The two of us and that four-eyed guy are all doomed."

"Well... I was just following the rules. The supervisor said that you can't enter or leave the office without a work permit."

Seeing that Chen Chen didn't interrupt, Uncle Zhou became even more flustered.

"Besides, Xiao Xiao also said it was right for you, so this shouldn't be my fault..."

He got this job by pulling strings everywhere; to have a job in your fifties is something that's incredibly hard to find.

He has been diligent and conscientious for the past three years, never leaving early or arriving late, and always following the rules.

How did things go wrong?

Uncle Zhou was sweating profusely, unable to figure it out no matter what he did.

Ji Sisi curled her lips, "Don't worry, grandpa, as long as you tell the truth about what happened that day and prove my innocence, there won't be any problems."

"The reason you called me here today is because your Director Wu and Professor Chen want you and me to be the bad guys."

Chen Chen couldn't stand it anymore, so he stopped and turned to look at Ji Sisi.

"What do you mean?"
