Walking with the Villain, Lou Xiao'e's Alternative Love

In the office of Room 110, the happy duo was playing around when, as luck would have it, they were caught by Section Chief Wei.

"After I got home from get off work yesterday, I was still reflecting on whether I should reduce one of your tasks, but now it seems that it is really unnecessary. Since your work enthusiasm is so high, let's do it for a week! After a week, I want to see the investigation report. And it's the kind I want to see. Don't think about getting away with it, because if you do that, I will let you follow the purchasing department to the countryside every day to experience life." Section Chief Wei turned around and smiled at the two of them and said, "I have 100% decision-making power over the specific distribution and arrangement of year-end bonuses and annual leave.

Damn, it’s a threat, 100% threat.

"Ruizi, we can't escape from this, so let's roll up our sleeves and get to work!" Lou Xiao'e said.

"Just do it." Zhu Zirui replied.

"I've thought about it. This matter involves a wide range of issues. We need a thorough investigation plan."

Zhu Zirui nodded in agreement: "That's right, we can't draw a conclusion based on just one letter of complaint. We need to collect more evidence, including employees' evaluations and important details about Liu Lan herself."

Lou Xiao'e nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, you have thought it through very carefully. Remember, our goal is to find out the truth, not to create more conflicts. During the investigation, we must remain fair and objective and avoid any form of prejudice and discrimination.

First, we can start with the people who are close to Liu Lan to understand her usual behavior and interpersonal relationships. "

Secondly, observe the employees eating in the cafeteria to see if there are any abnormalities. "

Finally, talk to some employees privately to see if you can find any clues.”

Zhu Zirui listened and took notes in a notebook.

Lou Xiao'e looked at Zhu Zirui's serious expression, secretly praised him in her heart, and decided to get to the bottom of this matter.

"Okay, let's do as I say." Zhu Zirui said affirmatively.

"We will take immediate action and start the investigation as soon as possible." Lou Xiao'e said confidently.

Taking advantage of their respective conveniences in the cafeteria, the two began to quietly observe every employee. They paid special attention to those who had interacted with Liu Lan or might have known about the matter, and carefully observed the subtle changes in their expressions when they mentioned Liu Lan or were asked about the matter.

They always choose the right time, place and person to talk to, and try to avoid mentioning sensitive topics in public. At the same time, they also use their wisdom and social skills to cleverly conceal their investigative intentions.

As the investigation deepened, Lou Xiao'e and Zhu Zirui collected a large amount of scattered information. They began to classify, organize and analyze this information, trying to find hidden clues and patterns.

They found that Liu Lan's report of stealing food was a pure false accusation. There were about ten apprentices in the canteen, including the head chef, the sophomore chef, the knife sharpener, the dough cutter, the vegetable washer, the bowl cleaner, and no one stole food except for those who tasted the food. Stealing did happen, but it was limited to the employees. The remaining food was shared by the chef and taken home by the canteen staff. This was also tacitly accepted by the factory leaders. So, to be precise, it was not stealing. As for stealing people, the scandal between Liu Lan and Deputy Factory Director Li was an open secret. People could talk about it behind their backs, but who would be stupid enough to point it out to their faces?

At this point, the incident that Liu Lan was reported for has been basically clarified, and three points are both true and false. However, how to write the investigation report depends on the level of Lou Xiaoe and Zhu Zirui.

So the question is, who reported Liu Lan?

Lou Xiao'e just wanted to say: "Wait online!"

Five days passed and Lou Xiao'e and Zhu Zirui had made no progress in their investigation.

What about swollen?

The happy duo instantly turned into a depressed duo.

At lunch time, the two of them were eating after returning from the cafeteria. Han Qizhen, a colleague from the second group of the Supervision Section next door, opened the door and shouted, "Ruizi, stop eating. Let's go to the cafeteria to watch the fun. Liu Lan and Yu Haitang are fighting."

Zhu Zirui picked up a piece of ham and said slowly, "No, what's so good about two women fighting?"

"Rui Zi, let's go and take a look too." Lou Xiao'e put down her chopsticks and winked at Zhu Zirui.

When the three hurried to the cafeteria, the fight was over.

Liu Lan and Yu Haitang had been pulled apart by the crowd and stood aside, glaring at each other.

A crowd of people gathered around, talking a lot.

Looking at the two people who had just fought, Liu Lan was better off, as he only had his collar button torn off.

Yu Haitang was in a miserable state, her hair was completely disheveled, and there were slap marks and scratches on her face and neck.

"I just went to the toilet, how come it started? Everyone, disperse, disperse." Canteen director Li Dazhi ran over from outside.

Yu Haitang slandered me, saying that I stole things from the cafeteria." Yu Haitang refused to give in: "Who slandered me? Your bag is always bulging after get off work."

Lou Xiao'e was confused. She turned to the crowd and asked, "Does anyone know what happened?" A worker whispered, "When getting food just now, Yu Haitang asked Liu Lan to give her two more pieces of beef. Liu Lan ignored her, so Yu Haitang scolded Liu Lan for deliberately giving employees less food and stealing the rest home. Liu Lan got so angry that she started fighting."

Lou Xiao'e pondered, how did Yu Haitang know that Liu Lan stole the money? Could this matter be related to Liu Lan being reported? Could the reporter be Yu Haitang?

Lou Xiao'e glanced at Zhu Zirui, and Zhu Zirui seemed to have guessed something. The two of them tacitly left the crowd and returned to the office.

"Sister E, do you still remember the last time Yu Haitang got her meal at Liu Lan's window?" Zhu Zirui asked as he entered the room.

Lou Xiao'e nodded, a trace of solemnity flashing across her brows: "Of course I remember. At that time, Yu Haitang was extremely picky. Not only did she point fingers at the food, she also said a few bad things about Liu Lan in a sarcastic tone. But I didn't expect that she would directly escalate to such groundless accusations and slander."

"Yes, Sister E. We all know Liu Lan. She has many minor problems, but none of them are serious. This time it is obvious that Yu Haitang is being unreasonable, and there seems to be other purposes hidden in her words." Zhu Zirui analyzed, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, looking quite worried.

"Could it be that she deliberately made up such a lie to slander Liu Lan just to take revenge on Liu Lan for not giving her more braised pork? Or does she have some ulterior motive behind it?" Lou Xiao'e took over the conversation, with some speculation and confusion in her voice.

Zhu Zirui pondered for a moment and said slowly: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. But what should we do next?"

"Yes! What should we do?" Lou Xiao'e fell into deep thought.
