Director Qiao walked up the stairs steadily, each step seemed very heavy. When she arrived in front of the General Affairs Office, she stopped unconsciously and turned to enter the General Affairs Office.

Li Jiawei was sitting at her desk, concentrating on the work at hand. When she heard footsteps approaching, she turned around and saw Director Qiao coming in. She stood up quickly with a polite and humble smile on her face.

However, when she noticed the complicated look in Section Chief Fang's eyes behind Director Qiao, her heart tightened slightly. Section Chief Fang looked at her with dissatisfaction and hostility, as if he wanted to eat her alive immediately.

But Li Jiawei quickly adjusted her mentality. She gently lowered her eyelids to calm herself down, then raised her eyes again and looked directly at Section Chief Fang, secretly competing with him, "Isn't it just a competition of whose eyes are bigger? Anyway, I think my eyes are not small."

Director Qiao looked at Li Jiawei with a warm smile on his face, and his tone was full of praise, "Jiawei, today is all thanks to you, otherwise our bureau would be embarrassed in front of Secretary Xu."

Li Jiawei was a little surprised by Director Qiao’s words. She thought Director Qiao would be very angry, but unexpectedly he praised her.

But she quickly came to her senses and said modestly, "It's all because of your good leadership. If you hadn't asked me to summarize the budget data of various towns in the past two years, I wouldn't have known the situation in Taoli Township in such detail."

Director Qiao sighed softly when she heard this. It was fate. She thought to herself that if she had asked for the data summary two days earlier, she might have been able to answer Secretary Xu's question today.

But there is no regret medicine in the world. Thinking of this, her sense of loss was slightly relieved, and she was also more satisfied with Li Jiawei's performance. After all, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, and Li Jiawei happened to receive this opportunity after she was ready.

Section Chief Fang listened to the conversation between the two and his face became increasingly gloomy.

Director Qiao said to Li Jiawei, "This is also because you work hard every day and are not impatient or anxious. You have done a very good job. Keep up the hard work."

After Director Qiao finished speaking, he turned around and left the General Affairs Department with a bit of disappointment and returned to his office.

Li Jiawei watched Director Qiao leave, and sat back in her office chair with a secret joy in her heart, choosing to ignore the unfriendly look from the other section chief.

Seeing that Li Jiawei ignored him, Section Chief Fang returned to his workstation angrily, picked up the documents on the table, and slammed them heavily on the desk. A loud bang echoed in the office.

Wang Xin frowned, first looked at Section Chief Fang, then turned to Li Jiawei who was continuing to work, and then lowered his head to continue doing his own thing.

Seeing that both people in the office ignored her, Section Chief Fang became even more furious. She shouted, "Li Jiawei, come here!"

Li Jiawei sighed, stood up and walked to Section Chief Fang's workstation, "Section Chief."

Section Chief Fang angrily said, "Li Jiawei, I gave you the budget compilation for each township two days ago. Why haven't you handed it over to me yet?"

Li Jiawei secretly complained in her heart, but she suppressed her anger. The other section chief said, "Section Chief, you only gave me this work the day before yesterday, when it was almost time to get off work. Then yesterday, everyone in the whole department was busy preparing for Secretary Xu's investigation. What's more, you specified that I submit it on Friday morning, and today is only Thursday."

"Li Jiawei, you haven't completed your work yet and you still dare to quibble? You even talked back to your leader. Do you have any manners?" Section Chief Fang stood up angrily, his eyes wide open, staring straight at Li Jiawei.

Facing the furious Section Chief Fang, Li Jiawei felt an inexplicable smile in her heart.

She knew very well that Section Chief Fang usually put on a high profile and his casual words made her angry, but at this moment, it was the first time she saw Section Chief Fang lose his composure and no longer pretend.

Li Jiawei's lips curled up with a mocking smile. "Section Chief, you can't answer Secretary Xu's question and feel embarrassed. This is your own problem. Please don't transfer your anger to me. I am not a trash can for your emotions."

"Li Jiawei!" Section Chief Fang roared in anger, "What's your attitude? You didn't complete your work on time, causing Director Qiao and me to lose face in front of Secretary Xu. As a section chief, don't I even have the right to criticize you?"

Li Jiawei looked at the angry Section Chief Fang calmly. She knew that the loudest voice was not always right. She responded calmly, "Section Chief, you set the time for the work to be completed. I just followed your requirements. I do not accept your accusations. As for other issues, if you think I have been negligent in my work, please clearly point out where the mistake is. If it is indeed my fault, I will correct it and accept any criticism. But if it is not my fault, I will never accept groundless accusations."

After Li Jiawei finished speaking, she turned around and went back to her workstation. Her hands were slightly numb from being clenched tightly and were trembling slightly, but she felt comfortable inside.

When Section Chief Fang saw that Li Jiawei dared to contradict her, she became even more furious and said in a deep voice, "Li Jiawei, don't think that you can be arrogant just because you showed your face in front of Secretary Xu today. You are just a contract worker. What's the point of showing your face again? The Finance Bureau is not a place for you to run wild. Today, in the General Affairs Section, it's either you or me."

Seeing this, Wang Xin hurriedly intervened between the two and eased the atmosphere. "Chief, Sister Li, we are all here for work, why do we have to make such a fuss?" He turned to look at Li Jiawei who was standing still at her workstation and advised, "Sister Li, why don't you apologize to Chief Fang first?"

Outside the door, colleagues from other departments were looking in. Li Jiawei felt a little ashamed and angry because she was being watched while arguing. She said firmly, "Apologize? I did nothing wrong. Why should I apologize?"

Seeing that Li Jiawei was still stubborn, Section Chief Fang sneered, "Okay, okay, Li Jiawei, you think you have someone to back you up, so you are fearless. I think this general affairs section really can't accommodate you."

Li Jiawei ignored Section Chief Fang's sarcasm and simply replied, "You can also find a backer!"

Section Chief Fang was furious and felt his blood pressure was rising. He thought Li Jiawei was arrogant and mean. "Do you think everyone is like you, who has no bottom line and is not decent? You are willing to be the mistress of an old man and cheated him out of more than 10 million before you got married. You are a vixen. The old man who sends you to work every day is old enough to be your father!"

The colleagues watching outside the door looked at each other and whispered. They all knew that Li Jiawei had a rich boyfriend. Although there was a big age difference, it was her personal choice. As long as it was not illegal, no one had the right to comment. At most, they would discuss it in private, but never mention it in person.

After hearing Section Chief Fang's slander, Li Jiawei felt her whole body trembling. She impulsively wanted to step forward and slap Section Chief Fang, but after experiencing so many things, she knew that violence could only bring short-term pleasure, was a sign of incompetence, and could not fundamentally solve the problem.

Li Jiawei looked at the mobile phone on the desk. She had been recording video for more than ten minutes. She gently stroked the phone, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

Li Jiawei felt that if some people didn't teach her a lesson once and for all, she would be letting down all the hardships she had endured in the comprehensive department over the years.
