Chapter 98 - Chapter 25 Selection

Gu Xiaofan didn't think Gong Zhixue's statement was unreasonable. Although his impression of Wen Jing was just average and not very good, when the three female employees of Hengjiu Media Design Department talked about Wen Jing, their words were mixed with personal emotions, no less than his own.Zhong Han didn't say anything after hearing this. Seeing that Gong Zhixue had already put the wok on the induction cooker, he gave Gu Xiaofan a look and said to Gong Zhixue: "It's getting late. I've been chatting with you for a long time. I've delayed your dinner, right?""No, no, I'm still thinking about it. If you don't mind, just eat at my place. Otherwise, I'm alone. If you don't mind my poor cooking skills, today's dinner will be more lively." Gong Zhixue said to them enthusiastically."No, no, how can I be embarrassed? We won't bother you any more. Have a good dinner. If you have anything, you can contact me at any time." Gu Xiaofan quickly declined.Gong Zhixue exchanged pleasantries with them again, but seeing that they were determined not to stay for dinner, he had no choice but to give up. He grabbed a towel beside him, wiped the water off his hands, and sent them out. Fearing that Zhong Han and the others could not take the elevator, he even brought a magnetic card to help them swipe the card.The elevator door closed and the elevator slowly went down. Gu Xiaofan reached out to press the button for the fifth floor, but was stopped by Zhong Han."Let's go, let's go back first. We won't look for Gong Jianzhong today." He said to Gu Xiaofan."Why?" Gu Xiaofan didn't quite understand why Zhong Han changed his original plan after coming out of Gong Zhixue's house.Zhong Han shook his head: "After listening to Gong Zhixue's other answer to the incident of Dong Xinghai being beaten, I suddenly felt that I should first verify whether the story of being beaten in the billiard hall is true.""You mean, if it was Gong Jianzhong who actually beat Dong Xinghai at the time, and Dong Xinghai deliberately lied and made up a different story to avoid hurting his self-esteem and being laughed at by others, then it means that the conflict between Gong Jianzhong and Dong Xinghai is quite deep, and it is worth exploring. If Dong Xinghai did have a conflict with others when he went out to play and was beaten, then Gong Jianzhong is also a suspect. It was weakened. Right? "Zhong Han looked at Gu Xiaofan, forced out a very gentle smile, and said to her: "Your judgment is completely wrong. If Dong Xinghai was indeed beaten by Gong Jianzhong, then I think we don't need to invest too much energy in Gong Jianzhong's line. On the contrary, Gong Jianzhong has not beaten Dong Xinghai, but he does not clarify or deny the rumors from the outside world, then we really need to pay attention to him. ""Why do I feel confused by what you said?" Gu Xiaofan looked at Zhong Han blankly, not knowing how he came to this conclusion."Give you an example that you find particularly vivid and convincing, just like you and Gao Xuan." Zhong Han said. And ignored Gu Xiaofan's protesting eyes. "If you bravely confessed to him and he rejected you, you might be very depressed and sad. You might even find that you are not as sad as you thought. But no matter what your inner feelings are, your secret crush on him is over. Do you understand what I mean?"Gu Xiaofan seemed to understand after listening to it: "You mean, if Gong Jianzhong really hit Dong Xinghai, the conflict between the two people would be exposed to everyone, and the resentment would be vented, so it would not be a big deal. On the contrary, Gong Jianzhong did nothing. He doesn't mind others misunderstanding and blaming him for the incident. That's weird, right?""You finally understand." Zhong Han nodded.Gu Xiaofan rolled his eyes: "First of all, I think your analogy is not vivid at all. The difference between these two things is as great as a million miles. Secondly, even if you must use me as an example, can't you give a positive example, such as my confession was accepted or something, must I be rejected?""It's better not to have unrealistic and self-deceiving fantasies. Why should I use it as an example when I know it's impossible to happen?" Zhong Han shrugged and answered innocently.Gu Xiaofan thought she glared at Zhong Han fiercely, but from Zhong Han's reaction, it was obvious that she had overestimated her lethality again.The two drove back to the Public Security Bureau. As soon as they stopped the car, they met Tang Hongye and Gao Xuan in the yard. Both of them looked unhappy, especially when Tang Hongye saw Zhong Han, his face became even gloomier.Gu Xiaofan noticed it, but she couldn't figure out why a person with Tang Hongye's personality would show such an expression to Zhong Han. Zhong Han didn't show anything special. After getting off the car as usual, he took the initiative to greet Tang Hongye and Gao Xuan, and looked very friendly. Logically, Gu Xiaofan could see that Tang Hongye's attitude was not right, and Zhong Han had no reason not to see it. He probably just pretended not to notice it.The four of them went upstairs together after saying this. When they returned to the office, they naturally exchanged their gains for the day. Zhong Han and Gu Xiaofan told Tang Hongye and Gao Xuan about Wen Jing, Qiu Gaoyang and Gong Jianzhong, including the fight between Dong Xinghai and Gong Jianzhong, which was not sure whether it was true or not. Gao Xuan and Tang Hongye also talked about what they had gained after running around for such a day.Their gains were basically equivalent to no gains. The two spent most of the day in the community where Dong Xinghai lived to learn about the situation. During this period, they did get some feedback, some of which were ambiguous, and some were exaggerated. However, after verifying them one by one, except for a few suspicious people who had not been finally verified, most of the information was meaningless. Either they were people who didn't want to do anything at all, but were regarded as suspicious by neighbors who were afraid of enemies, or they were some people who wanted to make up a situation that didn't exist.After exchanging their gains, Tang Hongye's face became even uglier. When he and Gao Xuan finished the general process with a little resentment, Zhong Han casually said to them, "It's hard work," which made Tang Hongye's dissatisfaction burst out all at once."Yes, we are really hard-working. Running errands is not a big deal. The most frustrating thing is that we work in vain. Not only are we tired, but we also waste time. It's secondary that we don't get anything for our hard work. The most frustrating thing is that we don't gain anything, but you gain a lot. Isn't the contrast too obvious?" Tang Hongye's words were obviously directed at Zhong Han."Hongye, it's meaningless when you say that. The work is for everyone. You say that as if we are so utilitarian." Gao Xuan spoke at the right time to stop Tang Hongye.Zhong Han was not annoyed after hearing this. He signaled Gu Xiaofan, who wanted to speak, to keep silent, and then said to Tang Hongye with an apologetic look: "You are right. No one would feel happy if they worked for nothing all day. And I feel very guilty now. Originally, I was going to do what you did today with Gu Xiaofan. If I had been more resolute when Gao Xuan proposed to exchange work tasks this morning, I would not have let you run for nothing. In the final analysis, this matter is indeed my fault."After he said this, Tang Hongye, who originally thought he would retort, was surprised and silent all of a sudden. He waved his hand angrily: "Don't say that. I didn't blame you. I just complained casually. You can't Don't think too much, I don't mean anything else. "Gao Xuan still had a faint smile on his face, but his expression looked very stiff. His eyes flashed and he said to Tang Hongye: "Yes, Hongye, it's my fault in the final analysis. I originally wanted to make Xiaofan feel a little relaxed, but I didn't expect that you would run a whole day with me in vain. If you want to blame you, blame me, don't misunderstand Zhong Han."Tang Hongye was a little embarrassed at this time, and hurriedly said: "What did I say? I just complained casually, and you made me look like a petty person. Forget it, forget it, don't mention this, tell me what you need to do tomorrow!""Zhong Han, what are your plans for tomorrow?" Gao Xuan was the first to ask Zhong Han what he meant.Zhong Han did not hesitate and directly replied: "You guys decide. I really feel bad about what happened today, so to avoid suspicion, the decision-making power has to be given to you and Tang Hongye.""If that's the case, Gao Xuan and I will be responsible for investigating the true story of Dong Xinghai being beaten, and see if it has anything to do with the gold medal business of the sales department, Gong Jianzhong, right?" Tang Hongye was not polite to Zhong Han, and he wrote down the name while talking.Zhong Han nodded to him: "I have no objection."Gao Xuan stood aside and did not say anything. Tang Hongye also noticed this and asked: "Gao Xuan, what do you think?""I think maybe we should pay more attention to Qiu Gaoyang and Gong Jianzhong, not just one of them, and find out the bottom first." Gao Xuan thought for a while before expressing his attitude cautiously."Okay, then do as you say." Tang Hongye was very willing to follow Gao Xuan's advice and immediately adopted Gao Xuan's suggestion.Zhong Han did not interrupt until Gao Xuan and Tang Hongye made their decision, then he said, "Well, in that case, you will be responsible for Hengjiu Media, and Xiaofan and I will be responsible for the external investigation.""I have no objection." Gu Xiaofan also nodded quickly, expressing his support for this decision.After discussing the division of labor, the four of them finished the things that needed to be done on the day, and then prepared to go home after get off work."Xiaofan," when Gu Xiaofan was packing up and preparing to leave, Gao Xuan came to her desk and looked at her eagerly, "Can you do me a favor? It's time to submit a report again. I know you are particularly good at this. You see, the case we are working on now is a time to be distracted. Otherwise, you can help me compile one."
