After finishing his meal and putting down his chopsticks, Wu Mingli changed the subject and brought up the matter of the garment factory.

His tone was calm, but his words carried an undeniable authority: "Director Zhang, I hope you can handle this garment factory matter fairly and not let honest people suffer."

Upon hearing this, Director Zhang broke out in a cold sweat and quickly nodded in agreement. Huang Shuyuan and Yang Dazhi dared not utter a sound, not even daring to breathe.

"The younger generation in the family likes to stand up for the weak and has done some bad things. This has caused you trouble. Xiao Chu, come here and apologize to your uncles."

"No, no, no, District Chief Wu, it was caused by our negligence, it's not our fault..."

Zhang Jianye hurriedly stood up and said, and Huang Shuyuan and Yang Dazhi immediately followed suit. He didn't know Xia Yichu's name, so he looked at Huang Shuyuan.

Huang Shuyuan continued, "It has nothing to do with Miss Xia. It's because we didn't do our job properly and our investigation wasn't thorough enough."

Yang Dazhi chimed in with a forced smile, "Yes, yes, it's our fault. We were blinded by bad people. Luckily, Miss Xia is kind and courageous, which prevented us from making a serious mistake."

"Yes, when I get back I will definitely have someone thoroughly investigate this matter and I will make sure that no innocent person is wronged."

"Shuyuan, go back and immediately reinvestigate this matter. We must not allow good people to be wronged or bad people to go unpunished," Zhang Jianye said righteously.

"Yes"

Wu Mingli waved his hand, gesturing for them to sit down. Xia Yichu then slowly stood up, a faint smile on her lips.

He said slowly and deliberately, "Uncles, I was young and ignorant, please don't take it to heart."

Director Zhang quickly said, "Miss Xia, what are you saying? This is a righteous act, and we should all learn from you."

Huang Shuyuan immediately began to flatter her: "Miss Xia, you are so young yet you have such insight and courage. You are bound to achieve great things in the future. It is a blessing for our garment factory to have your attention."

Yang Dazhi chimed in, "Yes, yes, if Miss Xia were willing to offer more suggestions to our garment factory, it would definitely develop better and better."

Wu Mingli felt disgusted by everyone's behavior, but he remained outwardly calm.

"Alright, now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, everyone is very busy, so I won't keep you any longer. I hope Director Zhang will continue to pay close attention to the garment factory's affairs." Wu Mingli picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and said calmly.

Director Zhang quickly stood up and said respectfully, "District Chief Wu, rest assured, I will personally follow up and guarantee everyone a satisfactory result."

Huang Shuyuan and Yang Dazhi also stood up, bowing and scraping. Wu Mingli stood up, and everyone else followed suit.

"That's all for now, everyone go back to work and get back to work." Wu Mingli said before preparing to leave.

Looking at Director Zhang and the others, Xia Yichu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of barely perceptible mockery.

Only after Wu Mingli left the private room did she leisurely follow him. Director Zhang and the others watched their departing figures and breathed a sigh of relief.

Huang Shuyuan wiped the sweat from her forehead and muttered to herself, "This District Chief Wu has such a powerful aura, it's suffocating."

Yang Dazhi nodded in agreement, saying that he was going to be killed by Zhang Shanshan.

"Huang Shuyuan, what exactly is going on? And who is the girl next to Wu Mingli?"

Zhang Jianye asked in a low voice, afraid that Wu Mingli might not have gone far and would hear him.

"I don't know either, Dazhi, you tell me."

Yang Dazhi dared not hide anything this time and told Zhang Shanshan everything he knew.

"Nonsense! You dared to hide something this big from me. Now look what's happened! This is a disaster. Zhang..."

Snapped!

Zhang Jianye slapped Huang Shuyuan across the face, his expression turning ashen. His brother-in-law's affair had ruined him terribly. Yang Dazhi kept his head down, trying to minimize his presence to avoid being implicated.

"Huang Shuyuan, you must resolve this matter properly for me, and you'd better get Miss Xia and the Wang family's forgiveness. Otherwise, hmph."

"Director Zhang..."

Zhang Jianye didn't want to hear his explanation, and angrily pushed Huang Shuyuan away and left.

"Big brother, you..."

Yang Dazhi forced a smile and walked forward cautiously, trying to comfort Huang Shuyuan.

Snapped!Snapped!

Huang Shuyuan slapped him twice. If she had told him about Xia Yichu's situation yesterday, he wouldn't have foolishly come to her door with a recording pen this morning, and none of this would have happened.

"Yang Dazhi, do you wish I would die sooner?"

"Brother, I didn't. I didn't know things would turn out this way. I didn't mean to hide it from you."

Yang Dazhi knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly. He was even more frightened when he thought about what he had said on the recording. Lust is a dangerous thing; he vowed never to ever lay a finger on a woman again.

Fortunately, they destroyed the recording pen; otherwise, if District Chief Wu had heard the contents, he would have been in serious trouble.

"Get up now and hide what you've been doing all these years. If it gets out, no one can save you. Also, be nicer to the Wang family, do you hear me?"

"Big brother, I understand."

After Huang Shuyuan finished speaking and left, he also needed to hide his tracks. Last year, the Song family was completely uprooted by the Wu family, and everyone was speculating about how the Song family had offended the Wu family. Those who knew the inside story dared not speak, so even now, many people do not know how the Song family offended the Wu family.

"Uncle Wu, could you introduce me to that relative who makes jade?"

In the car, Xia Yichu noticed Wu Mingli rubbing his temples again and asked him cautiously.

"Are you short of money? The teacher only has you as his daughter, how could he be short of money from you?"

The teacher never cared much about trivial matters; as long as Xia Yichu asked, even if she hadn't said anything, she would still accept it. Given the teacher's character, it was impossible for her to lack pocket money.

"Look at what you're saying, who wouldn't want more money? Uncle Wu, it's just a matter of saying the word, I just want to find someone who knows their stuff to sell some of them."

Her two buildings in Kyoto are not yet renovated. She needs to sell some of them to renovate the houses so that she can rent them out.

"Okay, I'll call and ask if he's been in Shenzhen lately. If he is, I'll arrange a time to meet you. Don't do anything rash on your own, or you might get scammed."

Wu Mingli was afraid that she would take the jade items out to sell herself, so he quickly agreed.

"Okay, I promise I won't cause any trouble."

"You, you must discuss things with me next time, like today. Don't try to do things on your own, and never do anything so dangerous. If it happens again, I'll call your dad right away."

"Okay, I understand."

Seeing Xia Yichu's nonchalant attitude, Wu Mingli's headache worsened. He had investigated Xia Yichu's upbringing.

After her mother passed away, her peers often called her an orphan and mocked her father for abandoning her and her mother.

She finally snapped when she was six or seven years old, fighting with her cousin Lin Xingcheng against those who mocked her. From then on, she was in fights every few days, and finally, before she started junior high school, she had beaten those people into submission. No one dared to mess with her, and no one wanted to play with her.
