Just as she walked out of the office, Nie Jun called.

“Secretary, you’re looking for me?” Fang Ya hurriedly answered the call.

Nie Jun smiled and said, “He Feng is looking for you. He knows that it’s not convenient for you to come out, so he specially asked me to give him a call.”

Fang Ya heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Then I’ll go look for him now. Sorry to trouble you!”

“Sigh, you two…” Nie Jun said and could not help but sigh.

Fang Ya hung up the phone in embarrassment and then ran toward the gate.

He Feng was standing at the gate and waiting anxiously.

When he saw Fang Ya running over, He Feng rushed over. “Come with me.”

Before Fang Ya could react, He Feng pulled her to a small garden at the side.

The two of them entered the small garden. He Feng looked around to make sure that there was no one nearby before asking, “How much of the investing in Taifeng had your hand in it?”

Fang Ya looked at He Feng strangely. “What’s wrong?”

He Feng gritted his teeth and said, “There has been no movement from Tang Fu’s side. We might have to start investigating Taifeng.”

Fang Ya replied with an “oh.” She did not realize the connection.

He Feng saw that Fang Ya still did not understand what he meant, so he sighed and said, “The work you have done for Taifeng may very well involve their other dirt.”

“But aren’t the financial fraud cases related to them all from before my involvement?” Fang Ya still did not understand.

He Feng looked at Fang Ya sternly and asked, “Are you sure that the things that Shao Hua did after all that have no shady business involved?”

Fang Ya was stumped by He Feng’s question.

Fang Ya had only provided some clues to Shao Hua. Fang Ya actually did not know how Shao Hua operated.

However, looking at Shao Hua’s recent investment development, he should have followed Fang Ya’s instructions and done it step by step.

He Feng looked at Fang Ya’s serious thinking face and showed a worried expression. “Think about it. Is it possible that these investment projects could implicate you?”

Fang Ya thought about it seriously and then looked around before saying, “I’ve only given Shao Hua half-truths.”

“What do you mean?” He Feng did not quite understand the meaning of Fang Ya’s words. He kept feeling that Fang Ya seemed to be hiding something from him.

Fang Ya thought for a while and then said, “When do you plan to start the investigation?”

He Feng thought for a while and then said, “If the higher-ups approve it, the soonest should be tomorrow.”

Fang Ya thought for a while and said, “Okay! Then tonight, I’ll explain everything to you!”

He Feng saw Fang Ya’s determined expression and then nodded and said, “Okay! I’ll go home early today!”

After the two of them made an agreement, they left.

Once Fang Ya returned to the office, she saw the Section Chief staring at her with an unperturbed expression. “Where did you go?”

The Section Chief’s question stunned Fang Ya.

“I… Just now, Secretary Nie was looking for me!” Fang Ya replied matter-of-factly.

“Is that so? Then why did someone see you leave the office compound?” The Section Chief asked bluntly.

Fang Ya’s brows were tightly knitted together. “Section Chief, it’s my freedom to go where I want to go, right?”

“I didn’t delay my work. I just followed the instructions of the Secretary. If you have any problems, you can go and talk to Secretary Nie!” Fang Ya did not show any weakness and directly retorted.

“Don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you have Secretary Nie’s support!” The Section Chief sounded very dissatisfied.

“You have to listen to me every day, since you work for me!” The Section Chief said coldly, as if he was her direct superior.

Fang Ya did not want to cause too much trouble, so she said, “If I don’t do my job properly, you can directly raise any opinions.

“As for other matters, I don’t think you have the ability to meddle in Secretary Nie’s affairs!” Fang Ya said, not showing any mercy at all.

Fang Ya did not intend to invoke Nie Jun’s name in such a manner, but if she did not do this, her troubles would be endless!
