Chapter 912: Chapter 912: A Clear Conscience

Upon hearing this, Sun Dahai was momentarily stunned, then shook his head with a laugh, saying, “You two, stop joking around. What’s there to adapt from my lousy book? Barely anyone reads it, who would be willing to invest money to adapt it? Besides, I just wrote it casually to pass the time! Don’t bother with it.”

Ye Xuan chuckled and said, “Uncle Sun, don’t underestimate yourself! I read the book; the content and quality are really good. It’s just that the audience is small, but turning it into a TV series would be different. With the right channels and resources, it might even become popular. Besides, it’s not much trouble for me, just a phone call away!”

“In that case… Xiao Ye, if it’s not too much trouble, could you help me with it?”

Hearing Ye Xuan say this, Sun Dahai felt a bit tempted, scratching his head with some embarrassment, saying, “Actually, to be honest, I’ve wanted to adapt it for a long time. If it could really be turned into a TV series, that would be the best.”

To be frank, he naturally hoped that more people would appreciate his hard-won work!

In the past, he wouldn’t have dared to think about it, as no one would help him adapt it. But now that Ye Xuan promised to get it done, he readily agreed.

“Okay, no problem! I’ll make a call in a bit.”

Ye Xuan nodded in agreement, then took out silver needles from his body, changing the topic, “Uncle Sun, let me start acupuncture treatment for you now!”

“Sure, sorry for the trouble, Xiao Ye!”

Sun Dahai expressed his thanks and signaled Sun Xiaomeng to push his wheelchair in front of Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan then squatted down and began acupuncture treatment on Sun Dahai’s legs!

…

At the same time.

Located at the East Sea Tianhe Bay branch!

Zheng Guofeng, the director who had been working overtime till now, changed into casual clothes and walked out of his office, heading toward the corridor exit.

Just then, footsteps echoed from the right corridor!

“Hey, Lao Zheng?”

With a surprised voice, a slightly chubby middle-aged man with a beer belly came over with a cheerful grin.

This person was none other than Li Kangming, the deputy director of the Tianhe Bay branch and a direct subordinate of Zheng Guofeng!

“Hmm? Lao Li, you haven’t left yet?” Zheng Guofeng stopped his steps, looking at the slightly chubby man in confusion.

“Ha ha, had some stuff to deal with, so got busy a bit late!”

Li Kangming chuckled, the flesh on his chin overlapping like a Maitreya Buddha.

Zheng Guofeng felt a bit puzzled upon hearing this.

As a deputy director in the office, he actually had the least workload! Major tasks are managed by the director, and he can delegate minor tasks to subordinates. This deputy director is usually the most punctual in leaving the office, so why working overtime today?

However, he didn’t think too much of it, assuming the other was just working late for once, and asked, “Lao Li, did you call me for something?”

“Ha ha, nothing much, just wanted to say hi since we bumped into each other!”

Li Kangming’s eyes fleetingly shone, smiling casually, he asked, “By the way, Lao Zheng, you’ve been working late these days, are you heading home now?”

“Yeah, this case needs to be solved quickly, working extra hours for days without any sleep! Need to catch up on some sleep now, or my body can’t take it much longer.”

Zheng Guofeng yawned, his face filled with exhaustion, shaking his head with self-mockery, “Oh! Getting old and can’t deny it. Back in my younger days, staying up for a few days never bothered me, still lively as ever! Now it’s impossible, staying up a little too late and I lack energy, the body will definitely run into problems!”

“Lao Zheng, don’t push yourself if you can’t handle it! We’re not in our youthful days anymore, don’t go against your body, or else if you get sick from exhaustion, you’ll be treating yourself unfairly!”

Li Kangming grinned, patting Zheng Guofeng on the shoulder, “Besides, you have so many people relying on you, if you fall, who’s going to lead the bunch in the office.”

“I’m aware of what you said! But in our field, there’s no such thing as taking it easy! Always have to be prepared. If we slack off, the public suffers!” Zheng Guofeng said.

“Alright, let’s not talk about these things, why make ourselves so hard? You’re off work already, if you’re not rushing home, why not join me for a meal to savor some good food, it’s been ages since we brothers sat and caught up.”

Li Kangming ended the topic and casually suggested taking Zheng Guofeng out for a meal and some chit-chat.

“Alright, but let’s choose an ordinary place, no high-end spots, as I’m low on funds!”

Zheng Guofeng thought for a moment, realizing he’s not been relaxing for a while, and agreed with a smile.

“Ha ha, since I’m the one inviting you, how could I let you pay? That’s not right!”

Li Kangming quipped, patting his pocket, “Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered! I know a place with good food, reasonable prices, and it’s conveniently close too, let’s go eat there!”

“No problem, let’s eat there.”

Zheng Guofeng agreed.

So, the two of them went downstairs, left the administrative building, got into the car, and headed straight for the restaurant.

Ten minutes later.

The car pulled up in front of a restaurant, the place Li Kangming mentioned.

The restaurant was indeed bustling, even at this late hour, there were quite a few customers inside, creating a lively atmosphere!

They entered the restaurant and found a spot in the corner to sit down.

Soon, a waiter approached to ask what they wanted to eat. They ordered three or four small dishes and began chatting while waiting for the food.

“Lao Zheng, the office has been pretty turbulent lately, I see you’ve been working your tail off, dealing with a lot of bad things. Are you holding up?”

Li Kangming sipped his tea, inquiring with concern.

“What’s this? I’ve been through all sorts of storms in my life! How could I not handle such trivial matters?”

Zheng Guofeng waved it off, saying indifferently.

These days, he indeed dealt with plenty of troubles!

First, he narrowly avoided a car accident, and then someone anonymously reported him for corruption and bribery, but due to insufficient evidence, it didn’t have much effect on him.

Yet, this morning, rumors somehow spread that he secretly kept a mistress, and had a bunch of other mistresses…

After this news got out, some unaware people indeed misunderstood him, affecting his reputation!

But he didn’t care at all, nor did he make any explanations about it! If you have a clear conscience, you need not fear a shadow. There’s no need to clarify things you didn’t do; it would only make you seem guilty!

Let the innocent remain innocent!

No matter how others try to tarnish him, as long as he stays clean, no one can do anything to him, which is more effective than any explanation.

Raising his cup of tea for a sniff, Li Kangming smiled, “That’s true, you, Director Zheng, are upright and just, with a clear conscience above. How could those lurking, shadowy creatures ever win against you? They’ll all get taken down ultimately…”
