After returning home, Li Jiawei took a short rest and took out a dozen dumplings from the refrigerator to cook. This morning, she only had fried dough sticks and eggs for breakfast, and she didn't eat enough bread for lunch. She was now starving, and her stomach was so sour. Now that she could finally taste the hot meal, she even drank the dumpling soup, believing in the principle of original soup to original food.

After eating, Li Jiawei rolled over on the bed excitedly thinking about the upcoming week-long vacation, and felt that this injury was not too bad.

Working life is indeed full of hardships, but she has become accustomed to finding ways to comfort and adjust herself in small comforts, self-PUA. Li Jiawei can't help but sigh that the big family of society seems to always subtly influence every worker, and everyone is often unaware of it.

Li Jiawei was awakened by a ringing sound. She picked up the phone in a daze, opened her eyes slightly, and saw that it was a call from Brother Liu from the Security Department.

"Hello, Brother Liu!" she replied softly.

"Xiao Li, I heard that you had a car accident yesterday. I was scared to death. Are you okay? I only found out about this when I arrived at the office today." Brother Liu asked with concern.

"I'm sorry to have worried you. I wasn't driving fast at the time and I only suffered minor injuries. The situation is not serious."

"Oh, it's all my fault. I didn't check the car and didn't know there was a problem with the brakes. If anything happened to you, I would blame myself for the rest of my life."

"It's okay, Brother Liu."

"Xiao Li, which repair shop is the car in? I want to go take a look. The director asked us to apply for scrapping as soon as possible."

The driver who had collided with her yesterday had told her the location of the repair shop, so Li Jiawei gave the name and phone number of the auto repair shop and then said, "Thank you, Brother Liu."

"No need to bother. This is my fault. You should take good care of your injuries. When you return to work, I will treat you to a meal to make amends."

After hanging up the phone with Brother Liu, Li Jiawei checked the time. It was already half past ten. She found that she had slept very deeply. When she woke up, she felt a sharp pain in the wound on her forehead. She gently touched the bandage on the wound to make sure it was not loose.

Yesterday, the nurse had three stitches on her forehead and applied some anesthetic. Now the effect of the anesthetic has probably worn off and the wound is starting to hurt, but she can still bear this pain.

After Li Jiawei woke up, she cooked a pot of rice porridge and then went to wash up. She looked at her face in the mirror, which was swollen like a steamed bun. She made a face and thought it was a little funny and ugly! She angrily splashed water on the mirror, and sighed. Then, she brushed her teeth carefully and wiped her face gently with a wet towel around the wound.

Just as Li Jiawei was drinking rice porridge, Section Chief Fang called. This time, Section Chief Fang's tone on the phone seemed much more polite and gentle. "Xiao Li, I heard that you were injured. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Li Jiawei replied, "Chief, the injury is not serious. I took care of it myself in the hospital. I won't bother you."

Section Chief Fang asked with some concern, "Oh, if I had known we would have gone together yesterday, this wouldn't have happened if I had been there. How do you feel now?"

Li Jiawei just wanted to laugh, but she still said respectfully, "I'm fine, Chief. By the way, I have sent the briefing to your email. Before I left yesterday, I also sent the data to the colleague in charge of the Municipal Bureau."

Section Chief Fang laughed and said, "You've worked hard. I see that. You've been working despite being injured. This spirit deserves praise. I will definitely put your name forward for the bureau's performance appraisal at the end of this year."

"Then I would like to thank the section chief first."

Li Jiawei and Section Chief Fang exchanged a few more pleasantries before hanging up the phone. She looked at her phone, which showed that the call lasted more than ten minutes, and couldn't help but laugh. This was the longest call she had had with Section Chief Fang in the few years she had worked in the General Affairs Department. She couldn't help but wonder, what happened to Section Chief Fang today? Could it be that the car accident suddenly awakened her conscience, but how could this be possible?

Li Jiawei's doubts didn't last long, and Zhao Xue called. Today was such a special day, why did everyone call her?

Li Jiawei answered the phone, "Zhao Xue, what's wrong?"

"Sister Li, I heard you were in a car accident?"

Li Jiawei smiled and replied, "Has the whole organization known about this? Brother Liu and Section Chief Fang both called me just now."

Zhao Xue snorted and said, "Early this morning, Director Qiao held a meeting for all the staff. He lost his temper at the meeting and criticized Section Chief Fang and Brother Liu, saying that Section Chief Fang didn't care about his subordinates and that Brother Liu was irresponsible at work. If the secretary hadn't stopped him, they would have been punished."

After hearing this, Li Jiawei was surprised and said, "Ah? So that's how it is."

"That's right, Sister Li. You know that everyone in the bureau went to have dinner with retired colleagues last night, except you. The old director even asked about you. Guess what Section Chief Fang answered?"

Li Jiawei had a feeling that Section Chief Fang might not have said anything good for her, so she asked, "What did she say?"

"She said you took a leave yesterday. What a coincidence, after the dinner last night, Director Qiao ran into you when he went back to get something, and then he found out that you were sent by Section Chief Fang to the town below to check the data."

Li Jiawei finally understood why Director Qiao had such an ugly expression last night. It seemed that Section Chief Fang had really hit a wall with his boss this time. Being dishonest with his boss was not a big problem, but it was also not a small one.

Also, it was Director Qiao who asked Section Chief Fang to write the briefing, but Section Chief Fang pushed it to her, and as a result, Director Qiao saw the briefing she wrote last night and exposed her on the spot. This was like quietly putting Section Chief Fang in the eye of the Director.

After learning that Section Chief Fang had been criticized, Li Jiawei felt as relaxed as if she had drunk honey water, and her spirits were refreshed. She decided to go to the vegetable market to buy half a chicken to make soup to nourish her body.

Li Jiawei came back from the market and was about to open the door when her cell phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated. Her cell phone usually didn't ring for three or four days except for work shoes. Why did so many people call today?

Li Jiawei hung the shopping bag of chicken on her wrist, opened the door with the key in one hand, and took out her cell phone with the other. Seeing that the caller ID was Lawyer He, she answered the call immediately.

"Hello, Lawyer He!"

"Hello, Miss Li. Is it convenient to talk now?"

Li Jiawei listened to the voice coming from the other end of the phone and stretched her neck unconsciously. Her ears were itchy. "It's convenient. Please go ahead."

He Zhizhou said, "The paternity test results are out."

"What's the result?" Li Jiawei asked casually. She never felt that she was the one who was taken away by mistake.

He Zhizhou was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, then said, "The DNA test results of you and my client show that your test results are consistent with a parent-child relationship."
