Zhou Yaqing’s family is unable to help her with her job reassignment, and she learns that her transfer is likely due to her infatuation with Luo Yanqing and the resulting conflict with Shen Yun. Director Song refuses to confirm this, but Zhou Yaqing confronts him, vowing that Luo Yanqing will one day no longer be his godson-in-law.

Of course, what happened in the cafeteria during lunch was an unexpected incident.

But he could see clearly that Yanqing wasn’t affected at all.

As for the request to be transferred away from Zhou Yaqing, it was probably to find some peace and quiet.

"You..."

Zhou Yaqing was choked by what Director Song said, and after a long time, she asked, "Aren’t you worried about your goddaughter?"

"Comrade Zhou Yaqing, I didn’t expect you to know my family members so well. Since that’s the case, what do you think I should worry about? Is it that you’re better looking than my goddaughter, or smarter, or does my godson-in-law pay more attention to you?"

With a calm gaze, Director Song said softly, "A word of advice, don’t think too highly of yourself, or society will tell you that you’re actually nothing!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yaqing’s face turned livid: "Director Song, you’ve gone too far!"

"You can leave now."

Director Song didn’t want to say more, and he retracted his gaze from Zhou Yaqing, busying himself with his own matters.

...

Returning angrily to her dorm room, Zhou Yaqing packed her things and kicked the door on her way out to vent her dissatisfaction.

She didn’t report directly to her new unit after leaving the research institute, but instead went straight home.

"Didn’t go to report at the new unit?"

At the Zhou Family’s house, only Old Lady Zhou was there at the moment. Upon seeing Zhou Yaqing enter the living room with her luggage, she blurted out the question.

"I don’t want to talk right now."

Zhou Yanqing tossed her luggage in the living room and then sprawled on the sofa, completely without any regard for appearance.

"Child, why are you so hot-tempered?" Old Lady Zhou was a bit upset: "I’ve already told you over the phone, it’s not that Grandma doesn’t want to help you, it’s just that I asked your granduncle and he doesn’t want to speak up for you. Seeing you like this now, are you blaming this old lady?"

Under his gaze, Director Song couldn’t help but cough lightly and chuckle, "Alright, alright, don’t be mad. It’s not your fault, it’s those young women’s superficiality."

They say beauty is a curse, and in his view, so is male charm.

Otherwise, why were all the young women in the office so fixated on him?

Especially those two who just had a fight, what were they thinking, not focusing on work and instead eyeing a married man?

"I’ll talk to Xiao Li about it later."

Luo Yanqing casually said this to Director Song, and upon hearing it, Director Song froze for a moment and then looked nervous: "What are you going to tell Li Bao? Kid, I was just joking with you, don’t go snitching on me to Li Bao, or I won’t let you off!"

"Not only will I tell Xiao Li, but I’ll also tell my daughter that you’re unjust, casually blaming me." At the dining table, only Luo Yanqing and Director Song were seated, and he calmly looked at Director Song as he softly let the words slip from his lips.

Director Song immediately pulled a face: "Kid, don’t be like this. Haven’t you heard about forgiving others when possible?"

"Nope." Luo Yanqing blatantly lied, as if he didn’t see Director Song’s anxious look, and smiled: "I only know about ’June Flying Snow’."

"Yanqing, it’s my fault, please don’t be upset, okay? You see, the new year is approaching, why let today’s small issue affect Li Bao and our little Guoguo’s mood? Besides, how could you bear to discuss adult matters in front of Xiao Guoguo?"

Director Song gazed straight at Luo Yanqing, pleading: "You’re a good child, don’t hold it against your godfather, alright?"

"About what I said..."

Intentionally dragging out his words, Luo Yanqing leisurely looked at Director Song, and upon hearing this, Director Song immediately promised: "Don’t worry, starting this afternoon, Researcher Zhou will not appear in front of you again."

After all, she’s not some key talent, having been here less than half a year, with no ambition, only thinking about romance; the institute doesn’t need such "talent"!

...

Director Song kept his word. Once he returned to the office from the cafeteria, he immediately made a call to the higher-ups.

"The situation is exactly as I described. If Researcher Zhou doesn’t leave..."

"I understand. You need to reassure Comrade Luo Yanqing, and I’ll handle it immediately on my end."

"It’s best to resolve this before work resumes in the afternoon, otherwise..."

"If you keep nagging, don’t blame me if the matter isn’t resolved in time."
