Li Jiawei looked directly at Section Chief Fang with sharp eyes and said firmly, "I will never forgive Section Chief Fang's unwarranted slander."

Then, her eyes gently swept across the crowd, finally fixed on two uniformed policemen, and she walked towards them with firm steps, introducing herself clearly and forcefully, "Officers, I am the person who reported this incident, Li Jiawei."

When Director Qiao saw this scene, her face darkened. She knew that once the police took Section Chief Fang away, she would have to explain to the district party secretary. Such a situation would undoubtedly be a major blow to the Finance Bureau of the Economic Development Zone and even to herself.

What made her even more uneasy was that Secretary Xu had just left the Finance Bureau not long ago when such an incident occurred due to a conflict between internal staff, which alarmed the police. The negative impact was self-evident.

Moreover, with the rapid spread of information today, such a thing would probably spread throughout the government agencies of the entire West City in a short time. By then, how would the leadership team of the Finance Bureau of the Economic Development Zone deal with it, and how would Secretary Xu view them? All of this made Director Qiao feel unprecedented pressure and anxiety.

Director Qiao felt mixed emotions. After the other section chief gave him a reproachful look, he quickly calmed down, walked quickly forward, and gently grabbed Li Jiawei's arm.

Director Qiao said in a low and earnest voice, "Li Jiawei, please calm down. This is the Finance Bureau, a government agency. Every staff member here, regardless of their status, must always remember what their words and actions represent and must be careful in what they say and do. Please believe that we will handle this matter fairly and give you a fair and satisfactory answer, okay?" Although her voice was low, it revealed irresistible majesty and earnestness.

Li Jiawei turned to look at Director Qiao, "Director Qiao, how are you going to handle this?"

Director Qiao said, "We will ask Section Chief Fang to formally apologize to you. How about that?"

After hearing what Director Qiao said, the light of hope in Li Jiawei's eyes gradually dimmed.

Li Jiawei looked at Director Qiao. Admittedly, Director Qiao was usually quite caring towards her, but in this workplace where power and interests were intertwined, perhaps because she was too insignificant, she was always the one who was abandoned in some trade-offs.

She was scolded by Section Chief Fang in front of everyone, but she only deserved a "sorry"? Is her reputation as an insignificant person "as light as a feather"?

Li Jiawei raised a bitter smile and looked directly at Director Qiao with deep eyes. Her tone revealed subtle disappointment and determination. "Director Qiao, apologize? Is this what you call a fair treatment? Can a simple "I'm sorry" erase the public humiliation and trampling on my reputation?"

Director Qiao couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied when he saw Li Jiawei's reaction. What's there to be dissatisfied about when a section chief apologizes to you? "Li Jiawei, I understand your feelings, but Section Chief Fang is also speaking without meaning it. I'll ask her to apologize to you in front of all the colleagues in the morning meeting, okay?"

Li Jiawei stared at Director Qiao, her eyes intertwined with complex emotions, her heart full of mixed feelings, "Director Qiao," her voice trembled slightly, every word seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of her heart, "What I need is not a light 'I'm sorry', but dignity."

After saying that, Li Jiawei turned around and walked to her workstation, slowly opened the drawer, and her fingertips gently touched an envelope that had been prepared long ago. It was the resignation letter she had already written.

Li Jiawei took a deep breath and handed the resignation letter to Director Qiao. "Director Qiao, this is my resignation letter. I was going to give it to the labor dispatch company, but today's incident happened suddenly, and I don't want to bring shame to the bureau. I'm giving it to you today. I resign. From now on, I'm no longer a staff member of the Finance Bureau, but just an ordinary citizen who wants to protect my reputation."

When saying this, Li Jiawei felt relieved. Taking this step, she really wanted to say goodbye to the past.

Director Qiao looked at the resignation letter handed over by Li Jiawei and did not take it. "Li Jiawei, have you thought it through? Once you leave, it won't be easy to come back."

"I've made up my mind." Li Jiawei put the envelope on the table and walked to the door. Her colleagues unconsciously made way for her. She walked up to the two policemen and handed over her cell phone. "Two officers, here is evidence of slandering me. I do not accept mediation and hope that everything will be handled according to legal procedures."

A police officer took the phone from Li Jiawei and asked, "Who are you reporting?"

Li Jiawei turned to look at Section Chief Fang, who was pale and trembling, and a smile appeared on her lips. "General Affairs Section Fang Mei."

When Section Chief Fang saw the smile on Li Jiawei's face, she felt angry and terrified. Although she was afraid at the moment, she always felt superior to Li Jiawei. Now she was forced into such a situation by Li Jiawei. She felt dazed. Driven by her emotions, she impulsively picked up the folder on the table and threw it at Li Jiawei, cursing, "Li Jiawei, you bitch!"

Everything happened too suddenly, and no one expected Section Chief Fang to be so irrational.

Wang Xin wanted to step forward to stop it, but he was still standing next to Chief Qiao, and Chief Qiao had his back to Chief Fang. He could only watch the thick folder being thrown at Li Jiawei.

Li Jiawei's body swayed slightly under the sudden impact, and then a dull pain exploded on her forehead. She subconsciously raised her hand and touched the painful area. Where her fingertips touched, there was warmth and moisture.

When she moved her fingers in front of her eyes, she saw a dazzling red color gradually spreading. It was blood.

This scene caught everyone present off guard. The two policemen never thought that someone would dare to hurt someone in front of them.

When they saw that Li Jiawei was injured, they acted quickly. One of them stepped forward and quickly subdued Section Chief Fang to prevent her from hurting anyone further; the other turned around and protected Li Jiawei behind him.

Zhao Xue was originally watching the excitement, but when she saw Li Jiawei was injured, she quickly squeezed out of the crowd and walked quickly to Li Jiawei's side, her eyes full of concern and anxiety.

She quickly took out a pack of tissues from her pocket, tore open the package, took out a tissue, and gently pressed it on Li Jiawei's wound, trying to stop the bleeding.

Section Chief Fang, who was pinned down by the police, suddenly realized what he had just done and how serious the consequences of his impulsive behavior would be. His face turned pale instantly.

She looked up at Li Jiawei, and saw a bright red spot on her beautiful face. An unprecedented panic and regret suddenly surged into her heart.

Director Qiao witnessed all this and was filled with resentment towards the other section chief. She wanted to speak again and try to persuade Li Jiawei, but facing the shocking blood on her forehead, it seemed that all her words seemed pale and powerless. In the end, she could only sigh heavily and stand aside silently.

Now the situation is no longer within her control. Let's see how the police handle it!

Li Jiawei thanked Zhao Xue, then pressed the tissue on her forehead and said to the policeman standing in front of her, "Officer, could you please give me your phone? I want to make a call."

The police turned around after hearing this and saw that Li Jiawei was not seriously injured except for the wound on her forehead that needed treatment. He nodded and returned the phone to her.

Li Jiawei took the phone, opened the address book, found the number she wanted to dial, took a deep breath, and pressed the dial button.
