Chapter 180 Slander
"Mrs. Xu, do you have such a situation?"
The smile on Zhu Meiyu's face finally returned.
"I don't have such a situation."
"Mrs. Lei should have sweat hands."
"If Mrs. Lei is bothered by sweat, she can come to the First People's Hospital to see me. I will ask my colleagues in the dermatology department to prescribe some medicine to treat sweaty hands for Mrs. Xu."
"Sweaty hands can be cured."
"Great."
"When I have time, I'll go to the First People's Hospital."
He discovered that Zhu Meiyu was trying to please him.
Li Deying followed her instructions and started chatting with her in a familiar manner.
"I've long heard of Dean Lei's name. Thanks to Old Zhang, I'm finally able to meet him today."
Xu Guangping was also trying hard to get close to Lei Wanqing.
"Dean Lei is much younger than I thought."
"He's been serving as the director of Jiangcheng High-Tech Research Institute for many years at such a young age. This shows that Director Lei is extremely capable."
"Professor Xu, thank you for your praise."
Lei Wanqing didn't like Xu Guangping's behavior, but he tried to endure it for the sake of Zhang Chunjiang's birthday.
"I have been able to serve as the director of the Jiangcheng High-Tech Research Institute for many years because of the trust that the organization and the country have in me."
"Professor Xu has been dedicated to teaching and educating people, and has worked tirelessly to train successors for Dragon Country generation after generation. He is worthy of admiration."
Lei Wanqing's words "worthy of admiration" made Xu Guangping feel elated.
Just take the Xu family's status in Jiangcheng, the old man's prestige during his lifetime, and his identity as a professor at Jiangcheng Normal University. It is impossible for Lei Wanqing not to give himself face.
"Dean Lei, I heard that after the Spring Festival you will personally lead a team to the Takhan Desert for scientific research. I wonder if my Fu Yang will have the opportunity to accompany you?"
"If my Fu Yang has the chance to go with us, I will definitely let him do his best to share the pressure with Dean Lei and bring honor to Jiangcheng High-tech Research Institute."
"Professor Xu, who told you this?"
Lei Wanqing put away the smile on his face and turned serious in an instant.
"This is a state secret. If you pry into state secrets at will, I can fully suspect that Professor Xu is a spy planted in Jiangcheng by another country."
Xu Guangping's face turned pale.
A spy is equivalent to a traitor.
Being accused of being a spy, no matter how high the old man's prestige was during his lifetime, it would not protect him.
Under Lei Wanqing's sharp gaze, he explained with a cold sweat on his forehead: "Director Zhang accidentally let it slip, and I accidentally overheard it."
"My father joined the army as a teenager and served in the army for decades. He made great contributions to the founding of Longguo. My son is an engineer at the Jiangcheng High-Tech Research Institute. He is passionate about serving Longguo. How could I be a spy?"
"I was just curious and asked casually."
"If this is a secret that cannot be disclosed, I will not ask anymore. Dean Lei, please calm down."
Lei Wanqing's expression eased slightly, but his brows were still furrowed.
He actually leaked such an important matter to Xu Guangping.
It seems that Zhang Chunjiang is no longer suitable for the position of director of the high-tech weapons research group.
"President Lei, Madam Lei, I'd like to offer you both a glass of tea and wine."
Seeing that Xu Guangping's attempt to explore almost angered Lei Wanqing, Zhu Meiyun hurriedly picked up the teacup in front of her to smooth things over for Xu Guangping.
"I'll bring my son, Old Xu, to apologize to Dean Lei."
"My old Xu is a straightforward person and not very talkative. The reason he asked Dean Lei this question is because he cares about our Longguo Technology."
Seeing Lei Wanqing and his wife drinking tea, the tense muscles on Xu Guangping's face gradually relaxed.
After drinking tea, Lei Wanqing and Li Deying no longer paid attention to Xu Guangping and Zhu Meiyun, and the atmosphere at the table seemed a little awkward.
The awkward atmosphere was not eased until the food and wine were served and everyone at the table started toasting each other.
"This stir-fried shredded pork is delicious, try it."
Lei Wanqing picked up some food for Li Deying, and everyone at the table looked at him sideways.
"Dean Lei and Mrs. Lei have a really good relationship. They've been married for over 20 years, but they're still like newlyweds."
"That's because our Dean Lei is a good man who values love and friendship, and our Madam Lei is a good woman who is virtuous and good at home. A good man who values love and friendship meets a good woman who is virtuous and good at home. Isn't it true that they will love each other for a lifetime?"
Zhu Meiyun: "Seeing Dean Lei and his wife being so loving, I feel at ease."
"Mrs. Xu, what do you mean?"
Zhu Meiyu's words instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Means nothing."
Zhu Meiyu smiled and spoke.
After the others looked away, she turned her head and whispered in Li Deying's ear, "Mrs. Lei, I want to talk to you alone. I wonder if you're free later?"
Li Deying caught the calculation that flashed across Zhu Meiyu's eyes, and suddenly remembered what Yun Jiaojiao had said to her when she ran to the Lei family.
Jiaojiao is married to Zhennan and will never return to the Xu family. She will no longer have any emotional involvement with Engineer Xu. Doesn't this old woman intend to let Jiaojiao go?
She wanted to see how this vicious old woman would plot against Jiaojiao.
"Of course I'm free."
"Mrs. Xu asked me out, so no matter how busy I am, I have to make some time to come out."
Li Deying agreed with a smile on her face.
"After we finish the meal, let's go to the nearby park."
An hour later, Li Deying, accompanied by Lei Wanqing and his daughter, strolled with Xu Guangping and his wife in the park next to the hotel.
The three women walked in front, and Lei Wanqing and Xu Guangping followed behind.
"Mrs. Lei, there's a technical translator named Yun Jiaojiao in the High-Tech Weapons Research Group's Technical Translation Team. I wonder if you've heard of her."
This old woman really doesn't intend to let Jiaojiao go.
"I've heard Lao Lei mention it several times."
Li Deying pretended not to be familiar with Yun Jiaojiao.
"Old Lei said that girl was recommended by Deng Changping, the division commander of the Jiangcheng Military Region Army Field Force, to work as a technical translator at the research institute."
"Could it be that Madam Xu knows that girl?"
"What's wrong with that girl?"
"know."
"Of course I know him."
Zhu Meiyu sighed and looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"That girl's father was a soldier. When my grandfather was serving in Southern Province, that girl's father was a soldier under my grandfather's command."
"That girl's father died heroically while guarding the border, and her mother passed away due to back pain. My old man felt sorry for her because she lost both parents at such a young age, so he brought her to the Xu family to raise her."
"Who would have thought that my old man, who is so upright, would raise such an ungrateful person with bad behavior."
"Hey!"
Zhu Meiyu said this and sighed heavily.
"Old Xu and I only have one son and one daughter. Over the years, my husband and I have treated that girl as our own. Who would have thought that she would actually, actually flirt with her brother Fu Yang?"
"Fu Yang was disappointed with the girl. He just said a few words to her, and she actually left the Xu family with her luggage in anger."
"Fu Yang was worried about the girl living alone outside, so he looked for her everywhere."
"When Fu Yang found the girl, she was actually hanging out with a strange man."
