CHAPTER 123: CHAPTER 123: MRS. GU, HOW DO YOU FEEL ON YOUR FIRST DAY AT WORK?

"Oh, really?"

Ji Wei didn’t show any disappointment and continued speaking calmly, "Finding out who did this is actually quite easy. For requests to cut off water and electricity, the water supply and power companies would have records. They should have the ID details of the personnel who handled the application."

Before Zhu Jianian could respond, Ji Wei suddenly called toward the door, "Ling Ling, come in for a moment."

Ling Ling, who had been waiting outside, pushed the door open, walked up to Ji Wei, and stood there with her hands at her sides.

"Ling Ling, go to the local water and power company, restore water and electricity to Shuiyun Lane, and also check who applied for the cutoff."

"Understood."

Ling Ling responded and left.

Zhu Jianian’s face paled slightly, and her fingers unconsciously gripped the hem of her skirt tightly.

"Manager Zhu, are you feeling unwell? Why does your complexion look off?" Ji Wei smiled pleasantly, pretending not to notice anything.

"Oh... maybe it’s the air conditioner here, the temperature is a bit low, and I’m not quite used to it." Zhu Jianian spoke, her expression subtly stiff.

"Shall I adjust the temperature higher for you?"

"No need to trouble yourself." Zhu Jianian blurted out, "Miss Ji, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first..."

As she spoke, she was already impatiently standing up.

"Alright."

Ji Wei pursed her lips and nodded mildly.

Zhu Jianian quickly left the director’s office.

Watching her hurried and somewhat frantic figure, the smile at Ji Wei’s lips gradually stiffened.

Miss Zhu, we have all the time in the world to settle accounts slowly.

After leaving Ji Wei’s office, Zhu Jianian immediately called her assistant into her own office.

"When you submitted the application to cut off water and electricity, did you use an ID?" Zhu Jianian asked eagerly.

"Yes, as per the regulations, you need to provide a copy of the ID." The assistant answered.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jianian slumped into her chair.

In order to quickly resolve the project’s lingering issues and return to Gu Headquarters sooner, she had resorted to rather extreme measures from the outset.

She originally thought no one would investigate this matter, but to her surprise, Ji Wei had caught onto it so quickly!

Seeing Zhu Jianian’s pale face, the assistant suddenly added, "However, I didn’t use my own ID to register. I knew this matter couldn’t be discovered by anyone from Gu, so I used an ID I found."

"Are you telling the truth?"

Zhu Jianian’s previously dejected expression immediately brightened.

The assistant nodded.

"Xiao Wang, you handled this very well, and I’m pleased. As long as you continue to work diligently by my side, I promise to help you get a promotion and a raise, and possibly even a chance to work at Gu Headquarters."

"Really? Thank you, Manager Zhu!" Xiao Wang exclaimed with joy.

An hour later.

Ji Wei had been reviewing documents in her office during this time. Meanwhile, Gu Moqian had called.

"Mrs. Gu, how was your first day at work?" Gu Moqian’s voice sounded exceptionally magnetic and soothing on the other end.

"Hmm, not bad." Ji Wei flipped through the documents in her hand while replied.

"Did you encounter anything tricky?"

"You could say so, but I managed to resolve it."

At that moment, a knock came on the office door, and Ling Ling walked in shortly afterward.

Ji Wei looked up and, seeing that it was Ling Ling, hastily said, "I’ll talk to you later. It’s work hours now, and I have some things to deal with."

With that, she promptly hung up the call.

On the other end of the line, Gu Moqian: "..."

"Director Ji, the water and electricity for Shuiyun Lane residents have been restored. However, when I checked the applicant’s details, it seems the person doesn’t work for Gu." Ling Ling approached and reported.

Ji Wei was taken aback. "Are you certain?"

"Yes. I also looked into the applicant’s social security records. They’re with a privately-owned company, very small in scale, and no comparison to Gu."

Could it be that Zhu Jianian had preemptively picked a scapegoat to cover her tracks?

"Alright, I see. Inform all department heads to attend a meeting in the conference room shortly."
