I saw Bai Lu and Li Shiting talking and laughing about something.

It was the first time that Xu Lang saw Bai Lu's expression like this. She usually handled things in a businesslike manner.

"Ahem! It's working hours now, what are you doing?!"

The two were startled by the sudden sound.

Bai Lu, who was originally sitting on the office chair, sat up straight.

Li Shiting, who was standing aside, also stood straight.

But soon, Li Shiting, who was most familiar with Xu Lang, discovered something was wrong.

She turned her head and saw that it was indeed her cousin.

"Cousin! You actually scared me!" Li Shiting stomped her feet.

"I'll tell my aunt when I get home that you bullied me at work!"

Li Shiting was angry, just like when she was bullied as a child.

Xu Lang couldn't help but walk forward and poke her cheek.

Bai Lu, who was originally sitting upright, also relaxed a little.

"Inspector Xu, you're back!"

She has been in the association for a long time, so she naturally knew that Xu Lang encountered a fire when he was on a mission.

I also know that Xu Lang might be blamed by his superiors.

But she didn't say it. First, she was afraid that Li Shiting would worry, and second, she thought Xu Lang would not want to hear anyone mention it at the moment.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Xu Lang also noticed Bai Lu's concerned look.

And this girl, hiding behind Li Shiting, kept looking at herself, as if she wanted to see if she was injured.

Xu Lang couldn't hide any of this.

Xu Lang felt warm in his heart.

"Yeah! I'm back."

"I'm glad you're back!" Bai Lu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xu Lang was safe and sound.

"Why are you being so careless?" Li Shiting looked at the two of them and felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange.

She didn't know that Xu Lang was on a mission, and this was to prevent her family from finding out and worrying about her.

"Children, don't interrupt when adults are talking!"

Xu Lang ruffled her hairstyle and messed up his hair.

This was his favorite thing to do when he was a child.

Seeing this, Li Shiting pretended to be angry and hit Xu Lang lightly with her fist.

Looking at the two people in front of him, Xu Lang's depression couldn't help but dissipate a lot.

Especially Li Shiting, she is simply Xu Lang's happy pill.

Chapter 99: A Date with a Beauty

"What were you two talking about? You were laughing so happily just now."

Xu Lang was quite curious. He wanted to know what could make Bai Lu, who was usually so serious, laugh so happily.

"Do you want to know?" Li Shiting waved her hands behind her, signaling Bai Lu not to speak.

"I won't tell you!"

"It's nothing, actually, it's just..." Bai Lu pretended not to see it and was about to tell the truth.

"Hey! Forget it, let me do it." Li Shiting hurriedly covered Bai Lu's mouth.

"It's just some gossip! About the previous Inspector General and the head of the Ministry of Finance."

Li Shiting told the story as if she was showing off.

"You don't know! The head of the finance department of our association and the previous inspector are a couple. They are the inspector who was transferred to become the Seven Elders."

Xu Lang understood that the Inspector was his long-time enemy, who had caused Xu Lang a lot of trouble during this period.

Xu Lang also had some impression of the head of the Ministry of Finance mentioned by Li Shiting.

Xu Lang had met that woman when Mr. Tian called a meeting.

He is a man in his thirties, usually wearing a slim black suit, looking very capable.

He speaks in a clear and cool voice, and does things very decisively and efficiently.

The only interaction between Xu Lang and this woman was that he took the financial statements of his department to the Finance Department.

This woman received all the guests personally and behaved very decently.

He never made things difficult for Xu Lang and always treated him impartially.

The money that should be reimbursed to his department was never less than a penny and was always reimbursed on time.

Xu Lang had a good impression of this woman.

Unexpectedly, it was the wife of his former Inspector.

Logically speaking, this shouldn't happen. Since they are a couple, she didn't make things difficult for me.

Xu Lang was just wondering while Li Shiting was still talking.

“It’s being rumored in the association right now that these two are getting divorced.

Originally, the divorce of two people would not be discussed by the whole association. But the former supervisor is now the Seventh Elder! That is almost the top position in our association. It is obvious that he is going to be glorious and successful, but the supervisor actually filed for divorce when he was in charge.

Many people in the association are saying whether this woman is crazy. When I entered your office just now, some people in our department were talking about this matter. "

Li Shiting kept talking and explained the whole story.

Xu Lang had a plan in mind.

These two people were laughing so happily just now, they were probably the inspectors before the choreography.

Xu Lang didn't point it out either.

"Is that so? Wait for me."

Xu Lang said this and walked out.

The people in his department were all recruited by Bai Lu later and can be considered as his own people.

Even if not, I have heard of Xu Lang's deeds.

Plus, Xu Lang never exploits his subordinates or does anything roundabout. All he needs to do is do his job well.

Therefore, these people are very convinced of Xu Lang.

Seeing Xu Lang come out, as if he had something to say, everyone fell silent and focused their eyes on Xu Lang.

"Let me say a few words. Normally, you guys do your job well, chat in the office, or even do your own private things, and I turn a blind eye.

But recently, I heard that you were discussing matters under the Ministry of Finance.

Let me tell you, the Ministry of Finance has never held up our department's reimbursements, and has always remitted them to us as soon as possible. They are very kind. So, I don't want to hear you gossiping about her in the office anymore."

"Did you hear that?"

"Yes! Inspector!" Everyone said in unison.

Xu Lang nodded with satisfaction.

Although the matter of the counterfeits has come to an end for the time being, Xu Lang still has things to deal with.

He was busy in the office until the end of the day. After tidying up, he went to the garage to drive home.

I didn’t expect to meet Huang Chuman, the director of the Ministry of Finance.

The man was still wearing his usual suit, with no socks on, his ankles exposed, and his bare feet in high heels.

What Li Shiting and the others said during the day did not change Xu Lang's impression of Huang Chuman.

Xu Lang nodded to her from a distance.

But Huang Chuman walked straight towards Xu Lang.

"Inspector Xu?"

"What's wrong, Manager Huang?" Xu Lang was a little curious. The two people didn't seem to have much in common.

"My car breaks down. Can you give me a ride?" Huang Chuman smiled.

It was the first time that Xu Lang noticed that Huang Chuman had two dimples when she smiled.

Of course, this is not the point.

This woman obviously had something to say to herself.

Xu Lang nodded.

"my pleasure."

Xu Lang opened the passenger door for Huang Chuman, and then got in the car himself.

The car started and slowly drove out of the parking lot.

"Thank you! Inspector Xu." Huang Chuman said meaningfully.

Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, then thought about what happened in the afternoon.

"I didn't expect that it would reach the ears of Manager Huang. I was just discussing the matter at hand. They chatted about these things in the office and delayed their work."

Xu Lang paused.

"And I don't think Manager Huang is the kind of woman who relies on men to climb the ladder."

Xu Lang has seen Huang Chuman's working speed.

This woman checked her own financial statements for a month in just ten minutes and was able to point out any errors.

This ability is indeed worthy of her status.

Huang Chuman raised her eyebrows after hearing what Xu Lang said.

She didn't expect that she was like this in Xu Lang's eyes.

For a long time, the association has always relied on men to get to the top.

But all the old members of the association knew that when that person was with them before, they were both just deputy directors of the department.

That person became the Inspector General and later served as one of the Seven Elders, all thanks to my advice and suggestions.

Now that the man had cheated on her and filed for divorce, rumors immediately spread throughout the association.

Huang Chuman didn't believe that it was not his idea.

Huang Chuman just felt that she was blind to fall in love with this kind of stuff.

Moreover, no old member of the association stood up to speak for him. Instead, it was Xu Lang who spoke for him.

The more Huang Chuman looked at Xu Lang, the more she liked him.

"Where are you going, Manager Huang?"

At the traffic light, Xu Lang looked at Huang Chuman who was a little dazed.

She came back to her senses and smiled sweetly at Xu Lang.

"There's a pretty good restaurant on the street ahead. I go there often. Why don't I treat Supervisor Xu to a meal?"

Xu Lang subconsciously wanted to refuse.

It seemed to Xu Lang that he had no relationship with this woman at all.

He was not naive enough to think that Huang Chuman invited him to dinner because he was sending her home.

Moreover, Huang Chuman is still nominally the wife of the previous Inspector, and they have not even divorced.

It's really inappropriate to get involved with her now.
