How could Zhou Yingying talk about this matter on the surface? She looked embarrassed, bit her lip and finally said, "Yes, I slept."

"Someone said you were in the dorm with a man, doing that kind of thing."

Jiang Tingxia cried out in embarrassment. Could it be that Li Changpu didn't hide from people that day and someone saw them? She looked embarrassed. At that time that day, the corridor was empty and there should have been no one in the dormitory building. She was also cautious and didn't dare to shout or make a sound.

Even though I was so careful, could someone still have heard me?

If that were the case, how would she face people in the future?

It’s all Li Changpu’s fault. He was fine that day but suddenly went crazy.

Zhou Yingying saw that Jiang Tingxia looked unhappy and knew how important reputation was to a woman, so she quickly comforted her, "Don't take it to heart. These are all rumors. They also said that you are going to be someone's stepmother."

She shook her head. "You tell me whether it's outrageous or not."

Jiang Tingxia was confused, "What the hell is going on here?"

Zhou Yingying continued to imitate him, "People outside are saying that. They said they saw you dating a man who was old and ugly, in his thirties or forties, with four or five children. They said you should marry him and become his stepmother."

"Who would believe you if you said that?"

Jiang Tingxia was so angry that she was gasping for breath. "Who spread these words?"

Zhou Yingying pulled Jiang Tingxia to comfort her, "You still can't guess who it is."

"In this entire group, we are at odds with Zhao Fang. It is obvious that she is deliberately making up lies to ruin your reputation."

Jiang Tingxia was worried about this. There were truths mixed with lies in these rumors. How could she clarify them? If the person who spread the rumors was really Zhao Fang, then did Zhao Fang see something? How much did she know about her own affairs? Should she confront Zhao Fang?

Jiang Tingxia had some concerns in her heart. She didn't want to embarrass herself by bringing up what happened in the dormitory that day.

……

Jiang Tingxia pushed open the door and walked into the office, "Captain Qian, you're looking for me?"

Captain Qian asked Jiang Tingxia to come in and took out a letter from the table.

"Xiao Jiang, sit down."

Captain Qian said seriously, "I think you must have heard some of the recent rumors about you."

Jiang Tingxia nodded, and Captain Qian handed the letter to Jiang Tingxia, "Take a look, this is a letter of complaint, reporting you for having an affair."

Jiang Tingxia took the letter and opened it, and saw that the signer was Zhao Fang.

Captain Qian said slowly: "This letter can confirm that Zhao Fang is the one who spread the rumors."

"The content of this report letter is ambiguous and vague. It does not mention who the gay man you are dating is. However, I think that person is Captain Li."

Captain Qian's nostrils flared, and he looked very angry. "This Zhao Fang knows nothing, but he talked nonsense outside and reported the matter to me. I will let the regiment punish you."

"Xiao Jiang, you and Captain Li are a legitimate couple. Why didn't you tell everyone? Look, there are so many misunderstandings."

Jiang Tingxia was a little unhappy when she saw Captain Qian say this, "Captain Qian, do you think this is a reason for Zhao Fang to slander me and spread rumors outside?"

Captain Qian quickly said, "Xiao Jiang, please don't misunderstand me. That's definitely not what I meant. I just think that you and Captain Li should not keep your marriage a secret. Tell everyone and the rumor will be broken."

This was not what Jiang Tingxia was concerned about. She was more concerned about another thing. "Captain Qian, what punishment will you give Zhao Fang for such a despicable act?"

Captain Qian thought for a moment and said, "Give her a warning and tell her not to do this again."

Seeing Jiang Tingxia frowning and looking dissatisfied, Captain Qian advised: "Zhao Fang didn't know that you and Captain Li were married, so she misunderstood. Fortunately, I blocked this report letter and it didn't cause any harm. Just give her a warning."

Captain Qian said earnestly, "Xiao Jiang, you should understand. After all, we are colleagues. Zhao Fang is just such an impatient person. She made a mistake without knowing why. We should give her a chance."

Jiang Tingxia understood what Captain Qian meant. What he said was nothing more than that he felt that Zhao Fang had her reasons for what she did, and even felt that the responsibility lay with her, because she had concealed the fact that she was married, which led to Zhao Fang's misunderstanding, so she spread rumors and reported it.

However, the source of the rumor could not be found. It was said that it was spread by Zhao Fang, but it was nothing more than speculation by her, Zhou Yingying and Captain Qian. As for the real-name report letter, if she and Li Changpu were not married, then no one could find fault with Zhao Fang's report, and she would be the one who was in the wrong.

Then the punishment given to Zhao Fang as a warning would be the end of the matter.

Jiang Tingxia sneered. A warning was like a tickle to Zhao Fang. It was too light a punishment.

"Xiao Jiang."

Seeing Jiang Tingxia distracted, Captain Qian called out to her twice, and Jiang Tingxia finally came back to her senses. Captain Qian asked, "Do you think this is okay? If you have no objection, I will call Zhao Fang over. I will not let you down. While giving you the punishment, you must ask her to apologize to you in public at the afternoon meeting and let her do a deep self-examination."

Review? Apology? What did she need those empty words for? Jiang Tingxia smiled, her expression was calm and relaxed, as if she was not angry or upset about Zhao Fang's matter.

"Captain Qian, I don't think this is necessary. These are just some minor matters. You know what Zhao Fang reported. And those rumors in private were just spread by everyone for two days. They are too outrageous and no one believes them."

She said each word with a standard polite fake smile, "I won't bother with her."

Jiang Tingxia was very generous. "We are colleagues after all. How can I embarrass Zhao Fang? Asking her to review herself in public would be too hurtful to her."

"How about this, you give me the letter of complaint, and I'll return it to Zhao Fang and talk to her while I'm at it."

Jiang Tingxia showed a sad expression and said slowly:

"Captain Qian, you also know that those rumors are all nonsense. The rumors about me rushing to be someone's stepmother and hooking up with an old man in his 40s or 50s are all fabricated and slanderous. I think there must be a reason why Zhao Fang spread such rumors about me. Maybe she has some opinions about me. You also know that this is an important period for the preparation of the new program, and I can't take care of so many things at once. Or maybe I did something wrong and ignored her, and Zhao Fang was angry, so she deliberately ruined my reputation like this."

After Jiang Tingxia finished taking the blame, Captain Qian couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up from his chair and comforted him, "Xiao Jiang, don't say that. Everyone has seen your efforts during this period. You are in charge of dozens of people. Even a god can't take care of everything."

Before Jiang Tingxia said this, Captain Qian had not thought about the reason why Zhao Fang reported Jiang Tingxia. But now, from Jiang Tingxia's few words, he understood that it seemed that there were some frictions and unpleasantness between Zhao Fang and Jiang Tingxia at work, and Zhao Fang was venting his anger by reporting Jiang Tingxia.

He immediately stated: "Xiao Jiang, you can continue to rehearse the new program without worrying about it. If Zhao Fang really targeted you because of work, I will definitely seek justice for you."

Jiang Tingxia stood aside, listening quietly to what Captain Qian said, nodding from time to time, tears in her eyes. She looked sensible and forbearing, as if she had been wronged but was silently enduring it for the sake of the overall situation.

"Captain Qian, I am very grateful for the kindness the group has shown me. As long as I have the support of the group, I will have the confidence to do anything. Even if someone slanders me, I will not listen or think about it and will continue to do a good job on the new program."

Jiang Tingxia's words showed his sincerity, and Captain Qian was very moved. "Xiao Jiang, I want to thank you for thinking so much about the group."

Jiang Tingxia nodded and smoothed over the words, "As for Zhao Fang, this is a matter between us, and I have to resolve it."

Jiang Tingxia reached out to ask Captain Qian for the letter of complaint. Captain Qian gave the letter to Jiang Tingxia. He shook his head and said, "Xiao Jiang, you are a generous person."

……

Jiang Tingxia found Zhao Fang. She took out the letter of complaint and waved it in her hand. Zhao Fang saw that the letter of complaint had just been delivered to Captain Qian in the morning and it was in Jiang Tingxia's hands not long after. She felt a pang in her heart.

Jiang Tingxia took out the letter and read it. Zhao Fang's face was as pale as a ghost. She wrote that letter just to trick Jiang Tingxia, but now the real person was holding it in his hands and reading it word by word. How could she not be panicked?

"Zhao Fang, the content of your letter looks familiar to me."

Jiang Tingxia deliberately said slowly: "It's exactly the same as the gossip rumors that have been circulating recently."

Jiang Tingxia glanced at Zhao Fang and said, "It seems to be the work of one person."

Jiang Tingxia is now the leader of the new program team and has a lot of say. She has the final say on who is eliminated and who goes on stage.

Zhao Fang is a member of this team. After falling under her control, Zhao Fang no longer dares to target Jiang Tingxia openly like before. If Zhao Fang wants to deal with Jiang Tingxia, she can only use these shady tricks, either secretly spreading rumors about Jiang Tingxia, or writing letters of denunciation behind her back. All this is because Jiang Tingxia has become someone Zhao Fang cannot afford to offend.

Therefore, Zhao Fang didn't dare to respond at this moment. After all, the evidence was irrefutable and the letter of complaint was the best proof.

She stammered, "I..."

Jiang Tingxia didn't have the patience to listen to her lies, so he slammed the letter on Zhao Fang, causing her to tremble all over.

Jiang Tingxia said coldly: "I know you did it."

"Watch your mouth from now on."

Before leaving, Jiang Tingxia looked at the letter in Zhao Fang's hand with contempt, "I remind you that your method will not work on me."

She deliberately provoked Zhao Fang, "Otherwise you wouldn't have handed in the report letter in the morning, and it would have been in my hands in the afternoon."

Being treated in such a condescending manner by Jiang Tingxia was a great humiliation for Zhao Fang. Looking at Jiang Tingxia's back as she left, Zhao Fang clenched her fists and almost crushed the letter paper in her hand.
