Chapter 1339: Chapter 1339: Today’s Farce Was Simply a Joke
Xinyan never expected that after the meeting, she would be called by the institute leaders for questioning.
When she went over, the office director smiled and waved her in: "Come in quickly."
She noticed that several leaders in the office were glancing at her, intentionally or unintentionally, but their eyes were clear, not seeming to harbor any ill intentions.
One of the institute leaders spoke: "Xiao Han, have a seat."
Anyway, with a clear conscience, Xinyan sat down gracefully.
After speaking, the person also casually poured her a glass of water, which made her feel somewhat flattered: "Leaders, is there something you want to discuss with me?"
The institute director then spoke: "Xiao Han, we’ve known each other for a while. We won’t beat around the bush, and you don’t need to feel any pressure. We’re just conducting a routine inquiry."
Xinyan felt a bit lost: Routine inquiry? About what?
She couldn’t help but find it a bit amusing: "Alright, what would the leaders like to ask?"
The institute director looked her up and down and then spoke: "The outfit you’re wearing must have cost quite a bit, right?"
Now Xinyan understood: "Leaders, just speak your mind, and I’ll definitely tell you everything I know."
The institute director, having dealt with Xinyan a lot due to past recruitment efforts, understood her personality and directly asked: "The teachers in your office have reported that one of your outfits costs several months’ wages, and it’s not just one of these high-end pieces."
They weren’t that familiar with Xinyan’s family background, but the fees she earned from translation work were enough for her to spend freely. However, since the complaint was formally lodged, they had to follow procedures.
Xinyan laughed outright: "It was teacher Guo Gaiping from our office who said something, wasn’t it?"
After speaking, she leisurely picked up the water cup in front of her and took a few sips, suppressing her displeasure: "I’m sure the leaders are aware that during my university years, I often took translation gigs from professors, and even now I occasionally take such jobs.
Let alone the fact that my husband has now left the transport team and started his own company.
It’s not like it was a few years ago when a few random words could be used to bring someone down out of spite. It’s normal to envy others, and jealousy can be understandable, given the variety of human experiences.
But being unable to see others doing well and using such underhanded tactics to sort them out is an issue of character."
If not for this incident, she wouldn’t want to bring her family matters into it. This might be for the best, avoiding future criticisms about her attire or expenses, which were truly nauseating.
She hadn’t mentioned her own company or her parents’ situation because she felt it was really unnecessary; after all, she didn’t want to be too high-profile and preferred to quietly prosper.
It was unexpected that Mr. Mu came to handle some business at this moment.
As soon as he entered, he saw Xinyan: "Han girl, you’re here too?"
Xinyan stood up: "Grandpa Mu, what brings you here?"
Mr. Mu laughed: "I just dropped by to take care of something, what are you discussing?"
Everyone in the office recognized Mr. Mu, and someone stepped forward to explain the situation.
Mr. Mu’s face immediately darkened; in recent years, many of his friends had been caught up in such ridiculous things: "Such people of bad character are unfit to be educators. Now that the country has opened up and reformed, it’s laughable that people still use this to harm others.
Xinyan is a disciple of Du Wenbin, which you all know, but I’m afraid none of you are aware of her family background. She is the granddaughter of the Gu Family in Beijing, related by blood, and her mother is the head of Gu Company.
Her husband was previously the captain of the transport team in Beijing, and now he’s left to start his own company, which, although not as vast as Gu Company, still covers quite a range. Not to mention, this girl has her own enterprises, so why make such a big deal over a few outfits?"
Mr. Mu’s words shocked everyone present; she had such a family background and had never boasted about it.
This whole farce today was simply a joke.
