The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 311: Complaint

Yun Ran looked proud. She was young, smart, healthy, rich, and so capable. She didn't care who else was to be pitied.

Trying to put her down? Humph, she only says half of what she means. That's an old trick of hers. I hate people who are pretentious (except when they're being pretentious themselves).

The old man intended to give Yun Ran a hard time, but he didn't expect to receive a disdainful look in return, and his face immediately darkened.

For reasons unknown, Duan Shouyuan saw that Yun Ran had offended someone she shouldn't have by speaking recklessly, so he stepped in to smooth things over.

"Elder Gong, let's go take a look at the tomb guardian beast over there first."

Duan Shouyuan is a minister, and his position is not low. In particular, he is from the General Administration. Even Gu Yuan has to put away his carefree attitude in front of him.

Unexpectedly, he couldn't even straighten his back in front of this so-called Elder Gong.

It seems this annoying old man holds a very high position.

However, Yun Ran was not at all guilty. She had only signed a three-year contract with Xie Xuzhi, and he couldn't possibly control her.

Just then, the sound of a helicopter came from the sky.

A smug smile immediately appeared on Yun Ran's face: Xie Xuzhi's men have arrived, my backer has come!
As the helicopter landed, Yunran finally saw that the person walking at the front was Xie Xuzhi.

The other side sent a big shot, and she also had a big shot parachuted in on her side. In conclusion, things are getting interesting.

Looking at Elder Gong and his entourage, a large group surrounding Yun Ran, their posture was clearly hostile.

Xie Xuzhi's face, which was already expressionless, looked even colder now.

With her powerful backer in hand, Yunran quickly went to complain: "Director Xie, that old man was trying to manipulate me just now, he's really wicked!"

Everyone:...

Haha, now they know what it means to complain, and they're complaining to their faces. They really think they're dead.

Duan Shouyuan, who had just felt some pity for Yun Ran and even wanted to secretly help her, silently returned to his original position.

He stepped forward unnecessarily, completely forgetting how cunning Yun Ran was, and that she would never be the one to suffer a loss.

Xie Xuzhi didn't believe Yun Ran would suffer a loss, but since Yun Ran had complained, he naturally had to stand up for his own people.

He glanced at the people following behind Elder Gong, and they all lowered their heads.

He then reprimanded them, saying, "Does the Special Administration Bureau employ you for nothing? How dare you trouble Elder Gong? If you don't have the ability, you should give up your positions as soon as possible!"

The other party dared to use veiled insults and manipulation on her alone, so she dared to bully them, and in the end, the other party could only hold back. It was so satisfying!

But Yun Ran didn't know how to restrain herself at all, and kept agreeing, acting as the straight man: "That's right, that's right."

Among the crowd, Wan Ji, who was at the very bottom of the food chain, didn't dare to look around casually, but he was still stunned by Yun Ran's crazy actions.

To dare to be so presumptuous in front of her boss, it seems that Miss Yun had been quite restrained before.

Thinking of this, Wan Ji couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had gone along with Miss Yun from the very beginning.

Those who were scolded dared not speak out, for there was nothing they could do; a higher rank could crush a lower one, especially since Xie Xuzhi was several ranks above them. If Xie Xuzhi hadn't been there, they could have at least made a few comments, even openly displaying their dissatisfaction with him.

But when they actually stood in front of Xie Xuzhi, especially when Xie Xuzhi was clearly angry, they all shrugged like quails.

Old Master Gong lost face. Even though Xie Xuzhi didn't specifically insult him, Xie Xuzhi's insults towards the people behind him were a blatant slap in the face.

That face, already uneven and covered in wrinkles, looked particularly oppressive.

Her tone suddenly turned icy: "Director Xie, are you implying that I shouldn't have come? Or are you really going to take a liking to a mere young girl's one-sided story and turn against me, a meritorious official of the Special Administration Bureau?"

If it were another high-ranking official from a special administration bureau being questioned now, facing such serious accusations and speculations, they would at least say something conciliatory to save face for both sides.

But Xie Xuzhi is a man of principle, ruthless methods, and powerful connections. When he refuses to give face, even the Emperor himself can't change his mind.

Xie Xuzhi snorted coldly: "Seniority is based on character and ability, not on giving some people the confidence to bully young people by relying on their age."

I have emphasized this many times at the conference before: the Special Administration is not a place for people to abuse their power for personal gain.

Those with ability should rise, and those who should step down should do so sensibly. The Special Administration Bureau isn't short of a pittance; it won't let its meritorious officials suffer a loss!

Renshenguo quietly placed the peeled walnut kernels into Yunran's hand.

The atmosphere here is really tense. Although there are no sunflower seeds, there are walnuts.

This was the first time that Xie Xuzhi had insulted him so veiledly in front of so many people, and Gong Lao was so angry that his face turned red.

He also became a bit outspoken: "Director Xie, do you mean I'm meddling in other people's business?"

As Yunran ate walnuts, she remarked that the strength of this counterattack was on a completely different level from Xie Xuzhi's attack.

She had previously thought that Xie Xuzhi's position in the Special Administration Bureau was unstable, which was why those who opposed him were so eager to cause trouble.

Now it seems that she was being too attached to appearances; it was clearly Xie Xuzhi who deliberately indulged her.

Xie Xuzhi could easily deal with these people, but he deliberately made it seem to outsiders that he was having a hard time suppressing them.

Huh~
Men are indeed the best at disguising themselves; they are incredibly cunning. Isn't it just that they're afraid of being resented by other powerful families or factions, who might eventually unite against them?

"Elder Gong, you're overthinking it. I was just talking about some people. You don't need to take it personally."

If the firepower of both sides could be visualized in this scene, it would definitely be a chaotic scene of sparks flying everywhere.

No one dared to step forward as a peacemaker. Whether it was the people behind Elder Gong or the people Xie Xuzhi brought, they all stood respectfully.

Only Yunran stood there crookedly, eating walnuts. The soft chewing sounds seemed particularly out of place in this setting.

Out of the corner of their eyes, everyone glanced at Yun Ran, and many people secretly sighed in their hearts that this culprit was quite relaxed, not treating them like outsiders at all.

Seeing that its host really had no intention of holding back, the ginseng fruit also became more carefree, noticing that its host had already finished eating the walnuts.

He quickly continued to crush the walnuts, and the 'crackling' sound never stopped.

They really treated this place like a gossip forum.
