Before long, the meeting concluded.
Fang Ze and Bai Ling ignored the gazes of others as they walked out together.
Once outside the meeting room and seeing that no one was around, the two began to chat in low voices.
Bai Ling apparently was quite upset about so many people not giving face to Bai Zhi and Fang Ze, and grumbled in a low voice, "Fang Ze, let me tell you, I feel like someone is targeting you?"
Fang Ze responded with a noncommittal "Oh?"
Perhaps fearing that Fang Ze wouldn't believe her, Bai Ling continued softly, "You mustn't disbelieve."
"Before the meeting began, I'd already heard many people discussing you."
"Although the new Commissioner's information, intelligence, and level aren't classified, you must know that your achievements and record were only reported by Sister Bai Zhi yesterday afternoon."
"It was approved last night, and in less than a few hours, everyone knew?"
"It's clear that someone deliberately leaked it, wanting to stir up trouble."
