She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1784: Chapter 1861: Watching the Spectacle

On the second floor of the villa next door, Meng Ping was watching with a telescope, thoroughly entertained. ”Tsk tsk... They say you are like the company you keep, and it seems true. Little fat man, you should hang out more with Xu Mo to see if you can pick up even a little bit of his talent.”

”No way.” The little fat man shivered, ”Xu Mo always looks at you weirdly, I don’t want to play with him.”

”He’s giving me weird looks, not you.”

”Boss, I suspect Xu Mo likes you?”

Upon hearing this, Meng Ping shivered, almost dropping the telescope in his hand, and lost all interest in peeping into others’ affairs.

Xu Qigang knew that this time, he had truly made Xiao Ning angry and feared she might do something foolish, so he had no choice but to return to the Special Rescue Team. Before he could enter the office, he saw his old friend Gong Ming pacing back and forth outside his office door, with a gloating Zhou Hong standing beside him.

”Wow?” Zhou Hong caught sight of the slap mark on Xu Qigang’s face right away, ”Chief, what happened to you?”

Xu Qigang shot a cold glance at Zhou Hong; his expression was not only cold but also carried a hint of menace.

Zhou Hong knew that the Living Yama had been in a crazed state lately, so it was best not to provoke him, to avoid being beaten to a pulp.

”It’s nothing.” Xu Qigang glanced at Gong Ming and asked, ”How come you have time to come here?”

”I need your help.” Gong Ming felt embarrassed, realizing he wasn’t thick-skinned enough to ask the Living Yama for help. Thinking about what he had to say next made him feel dreadful.

The leadership knew how to torment people; just dealing with the tension between the Living Yama and his wife was scary enough, and they all feared becoming collateral damage. Yet now, he had to come and interview him.

Interview about what?

Family disharmony? Or marital discord?

Just thinking about the questions he had to ask made his legs turn to jelly.

”Chief, why don’t you have a seat? I brought you some fine tea leaves and two bottles of Moutai. I’ve been saving them for a long time and could never bear to drink them.”

”I’m very busy.” Xu Qigang said coldly.

”I came to interview you this time.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Qigang immediately stood up and shouted outside, ”Assistant, see the guest out.”

”Wait, I’m not done yet!” Gong Ming panicked; being the editor-in-chief of this work report was truly humiliating.

”For external interviews, you can just talk to Director Zhou. If he’s unavailable, you can go to Director Shangguan.” Xu Qigang was never interested in these things and had long delegated them to Zhou Hong.

That’s how it’s been for years.

”No, I wanted to interview you regarding your relationship with your wife... Isn’t it that your wife wants to divorce you? Our leadership heard and is deeply concerned, so they asked me to inquire.” Oh well, I’m doomed anyway!

If you stick your neck out, it’s a blade; if you shrink back, it’s also a blade.

After Gong Ming finished speaking, Zhou Hong, who hadn’t left, was utterly dumbfounded.

He looked at Gong Ming in disbelief; he always thought the pretty boy was timid, but it turns out he was wrong, for Gong Ming was brave indeed!

Xu Qigang clenched his fists, making a cracking sound.

”Chief, Chief, if you really don’t want to do the interview, it’s okay, it’s really okay. I can understand, I truly can.” Gong Ming said, feeling so cowardly that he almost wanted to run away, but Zhou Hong, blocking the door, prevented him from fleeing, so he was sweating in anxiety.

”Chief, please don’t kill me to keep me quiet, I’m innocent.”
