Hu Pingtao heard the subtext in her words: "You mean, you don't know about this at all?"

Yang Yongli stamped her feet impatiently, her high heels making a crisp sound on the ground: "How could I possibly know! I told you that I was talking to my boyfriend. Although he was very nice to me and had gone to my house to meet my parents, he still

I haven’t decided on the last step, so when Sister Chen asked me last time, I answered smoothly.”

Hu Pingtao quickly took notes: "What happened next?"

Yang Yongli was angry and ashamed: "When I said that, I didn't realize what was going on at all. Because Sister Chen is in charge of personnel, the company has regulations: some projects can only be used by unmarried or not pregnant people.

Participate. Because according to national law, women have holidays after pregnancy and cannot go to work for at least half a year. So when Sister Chen asked me, I really didn’t think about anything else."

"But then the situation changed. Many people came to ask me if I was going to get married, including the department head and Vice President Yang. He... I refer to Vice President Yang. He is a distant relative of my family. I can

Of course I had to pass the exam to work in the company, and of course he gave me some proper care. He also understood my situation relatively well. When Vice President Yang asked me that day, his expression was very strange, and he asked me how I broke up with my previous boyfriend.

Already?"

"As soon as I heard that, I felt something was wrong, so I quickly answered no! We were having dinner together last night. Vice President Yang was stunned and said that it was being spread throughout the company that I was going to get married to Zhang Wanli."

"I was confused at the time. Because Zhang Wanli and I were very ordinary colleagues. He joined the company earlier than me and was almost thirty. He and I were not in the same age group at all. Besides, we didn't work in the same department. Usually

When we meet, we just nod and say hello, so how can we talk about marriage?"

"I have been looking for Zhang Wanli since that day, wanting to ask him face to face what was going on. But he has been running business outside and can't see anyone. I called him and he said he was busy. I asked him if he knew about the company.

Is this matter spreading all over the place? He said he knew it, but he couldn't explain it in a sentence or two on the phone, so we should wait until he comes to work today to talk about it."

At this point, Yang Yongli became especially angry. She strode up to Zhang Wanli and asked angrily: "Explain to everyone what is going on?"

Although Zhang Wanli looked a little embarrassed, he was not panicked. With a smile on his face, he scolded Yang Yongli nonchalantly: "What a big deal! I told you that we can have a good talk in private. You have to call the police. Now the police

What will happen if you come? I already told you that I was just joking with you."

Hearing these words, Hu Pingtao raised his head and looked at Zhang Wanli doubtfully: "Are you kidding? You mean, joking about marriage?"

Zhang Wanli quickly explained: "It's like this: that day, several colleagues from our business department gathered together for dinner. After drinking some wine, someone happened to receive a call from home, saying that his wife was pregnant with the second child because she was outside.

, just call him and tell him. We just followed this topic and talked about personal issues. Because we are all young people, so..."

"Wait, please wait a moment." Hu Pingtao interrupted him, pointed sideways at Yang Yongli, and asked seriously: "Was she there at the time?"

"...Not here." Zhang Wanli replied with some reluctance.

Hu Pingtao nodded and wrote this down in the note: "Go on."

Zhang Wanli continued: "Two of the people present were married, and the others, including me, were either talking about friends or had no goals. At the beginning, we didn't talk about this aspect, only about blind dates. Because there were several colleagues

Everyone at home is urging them to get married, and they have also introduced blind dates... well... anyway, everyone has similar experiences in this regard, and they feel that the blind date is not suitable."

"It's mainly about appearance, and the other thing is that the outlook on life is very different. If you want a house or a car, you need to have hundreds of thousands of dollars in bank deposits. Anyway, after we discussed it, we all felt that if we didn't have half a million, none of today's women would be able to do it."

Marry you."

"As we talked, the topic changed. Everyone said that instead of going on a blind date and finding a stranger, it is better to explore around and find someone you know."

"What a man! I couldn't keep my mouth shut after drinking. We started talking about which woman in the company was the most beautiful. We also said that in future team building activities, we should select the "Flower of the Department". We kept talking.

On Yang Yongli."

"She was very beautiful and well-liked in the company. At that time, someone was teasing her at the dinner table, saying they wanted to pursue Xiao Yang and snatch her away from her boyfriend."

Yang Yongli couldn't stand listening anymore, her face flushed, and she shouted angrily: "You guys actually talk about these things in private. I... I want you to control whether I'm okay with my boyfriend or not!"

Zhang Wanli knew that he was in the wrong, and he quickly raised his hand to block it: "Okay, okay, okay, I admit that I was wrong. But you also have to understand that the most we can do is talk, and we didn't make things worse.

From a personal perspective. After all, you and your boyfriend are not married, so it doesn’t matter if we talk like this."

"I usually have a big tongue after drinking and like to brag. So I stood up and told everyone present——In fact, Xiao Yang broke up with her boyfriend more than two months ago. She is now on good terms with me.

I have already gone to her home to meet her parents, and we will get married in a few months."

Hearing this, Hu Pingtao couldn't help but open his eyes wide and looked at Zhang Wanli in disbelief: "...Um, you, say it again?"

Although he was a little embarrassed, Zhang Wanli repeated what he just said.

Hu Pingtao found it incredible: "You and I are just colleagues, how could you say such things in front of so many people?"

Zhang Wanli quickly explained: "I was just joking. Really, I have no bad intentions!"

Hu Pingtao shook his head: "You are deliberately spreading rumors and slandering others' reputations."

Zhang Wanli was a little anxious: "I really don't mean anything else. I just drank too much and was bragging and making a joke. No one can take this kind of thing seriously!"

Yang Yongli pointed at him and yelled angrily: "You have made me miserable. Now everyone in the company is talking about this matter. Nothing has happened between you and me. Let's get married... and become your sister!"

"How can you talk nonsense about something that doesn't exist?"

Zhang Wanli's face was full of smiles: "I really didn't mean it, and I didn't expect that others would take it seriously just by saying it casually! Don't worry about it, I'll tell them one by one later, it's just a misunderstanding."

The matter was basically clear. It was just a very boring person who was bragging in front of his friends and colleagues in order to show off himself. As a result, the whole company thought that Yang Yongli really wanted to marry him.

Hu Pingtao held the transcript in one hand and asked Yang Yongli, who was full of anger: "Tell me what you think, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"

Yang Yongli didn't speak, but she could feel her teeth clenching her lips tightly, wanting to pounce on Zhang Wanli and tear Zhang Wanli into pieces alive.

Even if you bite him, hit him, or chop him to death with a knife, it will be useless! The matter has been spread, everyone in the company knows, it is a fait accompli, what else can be done?

Moreover, this guy looked like a piece of meat at first glance. Now when he was asked about it in person, he still looked disapproving and didn't think it was a big deal at all.

After a moment of silence, Yang Yongli squeezed out a few fierce words from between her teeth: "...I'm going to the court to sue you."

Zhang Wanli felt that he had heard wrong and asked in disbelief: "What did you say?"

"I said I was going to sue you." Yang Yongli exploded completely. She pointed at Zhang Wanli and yelled: "Just because of your mouth, my boyfriend asked me what's going on? Do I have a new love outside? Now I have a new lover at home.

I know, they don’t believe anything I say. Zhang, you can do it! I tell you, this matter is not over yet, I will sue you for defamation.”

Zhang Wanli blinked his eyes, with confusion on his face: "...No...where is this from? Why does it involve your family...By the way, you just said that Vice President Yang is your relative. But...but I am

Just kidding, you shouldn’t have such a big reaction!”

"There is a sense of propriety in joking." Hu Pingtao couldn't stand it any longer. He stood up, frowned and said, "You can just joke about other things, but this is a wedding! I'm a little girl, but...

We were talking about friends, and you did this... good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles, do you understand this?"

"It's true that they are suing you for defamation. I guess it will be really difficult for you to resolve this matter. This is no longer a problem that can be solved by just a casual apology... You have to pay for it and apologize seriously in public.

As for anything else specifically... I advise you to take the initiative and discuss it with the girl. You must be sincere and understand."

Zhang Wanli opened his mouth, and it took him a long time to react. A sentence came out of his mouth: "...How big of a deal is it? Is it a big deal?"

Yang Yongli listened to Hu Pingtao's advice before and thought that Zhang Wanli would admit his mistakes honestly. In fact, when she went to court to file a complaint or something, Yang Yongli just said it casually out of anger. She never thought of making a big deal out of it. Just like Hu Ping

Tao said, as long as the other party is sincere and admits his mistake honestly, the matter will be over.

Zhang Wanli just said this.

Yang Yongli completely abandoned all illusions in her heart. With a livid face, she took out her mobile phone and dialed the number of a lawyer friend she knew.

Hu Pingtao stood nearby and listened without saying a word. He knew very well that Zhang Wanli had lost his last chance.

Yang Yongli did not avoid anyone during the call, and the dozen or so pairs of ears present could hear it clearly. After confirming from her lawyer friend that she could sue, and having enough evidence in hand, Yang Yongli put the call away, and then turned to Zhang Wanli, who looked confused.

He said coldly: "Just wait! You will receive a court summons."

Only then did Zhang Wanli panic. He tried to calm down: "What a big deal! Xiao Yang, how could you do this? We are all colleagues, you..."

Hu Pingtao shook his head when he heard this. He interrupted Zhang Wanli: "Okay, okay, don't talk about these useless things. This girl's attitude is very firm. Let me ask you one last time: Do you want to publish an apology in the newspaper?

?”

"Why!" Zhang Wanli glared, and his stubborn thoughts did not change at all: "I was just kidding, besides, this person has to get married when he reaches his age! To put it bluntly, even if he doesn't agree with me, he still has to marry someone else.

.I didn’t say anything nonsense!”

Hu Pingtao raised his eyes and looked at the sky, and suddenly felt that some people were really just being punished for their deeds. They committed suicide by themselves and could not blame others.

"Okay, since both of you have this attitude, there is no need for me to keep it to resolve the dispute." He handed the transcript to Yang Yongli: "This is the record of the conversation just now and what happened. Take a look and see if you want to

If you have any questions, just sign."

…

After coming out of Songmao Company and getting on the electric car, Wang Gui still felt a little incredible: "Is there something wrong with the person named Zhang Wanli who voted for me? I feel like this person doesn't know what is good and what is good, and he has a single mind."

Hu Pingtao smiled softly: "It's not surprising, there are many people like this, they are self-righteous."

Wang Gui kept shaking his head: "I think he probably coveted the little girl named Yang and saw that she was pretty, so he deliberately caused such a scene. I have seen this kind of thing many times. It happened in our countryside before. Some second-rate people

When he falls in love with a young widow and a young girl, he deliberately arranges for her to ruin her reputation. When things get serious, she asks someone to come to her house to talk to her as a matchmaker. The woman is forced to have no choice but to get married even if she doesn't want to."

Hu Pingtao nodded slowly: "Yes. Zhang Wanli did have thoughts in this regard. But Yang Yongli is not someone who can be manipulated casually. I guess in the end, it will definitely depend on how the court decides on this matter."

Wang Gui said while driving: "I think it's cheaper to sue him. If it were me, I'd just give him a beating. This would relieve my anger more than anything else."

Hu Pingtao smiled and shook his head: "It's wrong to hit people. Doing so will only make things worse. Besides..."

Just as I said this, the phone rang.

It’s another call from the 110 command center—someone at Xingyue City Supermarket has called the police. Please rush to deal with it.

…

Xingyue City is a real estate located in the southern urban area. It integrates commercial and residential areas and is in a good location. The only drawback is that the shared area is large, accounting for 35% of the total area of ​​the house.

When Li Jiacheng left the mainland, someone said, "Don't let him get away." There is a certain truth to this, especially since the unspoken real estate rules of "public stalls" that have been reviled by countless people were brought about by this person.

The supermarket is located on the basement floor of the commercial center. When Hu Pingtao and Wang Gui arrived, a young woman in a white shirt and hot pants was arguing with a supermarket salesman, and a large group of people surrounded her.

Hu Pingtao separated from the crowd and squeezed in. As usual, he asked both parties to show their ID cards. After recording, he asked: "What happened?"

The salesperson was a middle-aged woman in her forties, wearing a uniform style of red vest. She was very angry, turned around and picked up a pot from the shelf next to her, and said angrily: "Look, a good thing has been destroyed."
