My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 261 Rumors

They didn’t believe it at first either.

But the more the story spread, the more people felt compelled to believe it.

Heaven knows this was just the first time they discussed the matter.

Feeling wronged QAQ

Qin Minsheng’s expression softened as he said, "You are all women comrades, so you should understand how important reputation is for us."

"Does it matter where it started? By discussing it recklessly now, aren’t you just adding fuel to the fire?"

Everyone claimed they weren’t the ones who spread the rumor.

However, it was precisely because everyone was spreading it that the rumors became so rampant.

Hearing the Factory Director’s words, several women comrades’s faces turned beet red.

"Director Qin, we were wrong. We shouldn’t have spread the rumors. We’ll write a self-criticism when we get back and ask for supervision from the leadership!"

They bowed their heads in shame, genuinely recognizing their mistake.

Director Qin was right.

The reputation of a women comrade is so important; they truly should not have done that.

Qin Minsheng nodded, "As long as you understand. Alright, get back to work."

Having said that, he left.

Upon reaching the office, he called for the secretary.

"Secretary Luo, have you heard about the rumor regarding Lin Tang circulating in the factory?"

Secretary Luo: "I’ve just heard about it, do you have any instructions?"

Qin Minsheng’s eyes suddenly darkened, his tone turning chilly, "Go investigate!"

Lin Tang was friends with Qingqing; he knew if he remained indifferent, even his own daughter would find it hard to forgive him.

Not to mention that he admired Lin Tang, a capable comrade.

How could he possibly allow baseless gossip to spread unabated?

Secretary Luo took the order and left the Factory Director’s office.

At the door, he bumped into Qin Suqing, who was hurrying to the Factory Director’s office in a flurry.

"Comrade Qin," greeted Secretary Luo.

Qin Suqing stopped in her tracks and looked at him, "Secretary Luo, my dad is in the office, right?"

Secretary Luo nodded.

"Thanks." After speaking, Qin Suqing quickly headed toward the Factory Director’s office.

She didn’t even think to knock, just pushed the door and entered.

"Dad, Tangtang has been slandered. Have you heard about it? You need to deal with this quickly." As soon as she barged in, she exclaimed angrily.

The young girl’s eyes were brimming with rage.

"I have no idea where these vile words originated, but it looks like they’ve been spreading for quite some time!"

"Tangtang is nothing like the person the rumors portray. She’s clearly capable and hardworking, the best person imaginable. Why would people just spout such nonsense?!"

Seemingly overcome with anger, tears started to fall from Qin Suqing’s eyes.

A face full of grievance.

As if she was the one gossiped about.

Qin Minsheng was initially going to criticize her for not knocking.

But seeing his daughter in tears, he lost the will to lecture her.

He hurriedly stood up, took a tissue, and tenderly wiped her tears away.

"I’ve already told Secretary Luo to look into it. The results will be out soon, so stop crying. You’re a big girl now, no need for shedding pearls. If Lin Tang finds out, she’ll laugh at you," said Qin Minsheng, half amused and half exasperated.

Ever since Qin Qiaomu joined the family, his daughter had taken on the role of a big sister, and she hadn’t shed a tear since then.

Her sudden outburst was unexpectedly impactful.

Hearing that her father had already asked Secretary Luo to investigate, Qin Suqing felt some of her anger subside.

She stubbornly insisted, "Tangtang wouldn’t laugh at me."

As she spoke, she took the tissue and dabbed at her damp eyes.

"Dad, who do you think started this malicious gossip? It’s so venomous! I’m angry just hearing about it, and who knows how upset Tangtang must be," Qin Suqing said.

If it wasn’t for coming to seek justice for Tangtang from her father, she would have wanted to see Tangtang herself.

Qin Minsheng poured a cup of water and handed it to Qin Suqing.

"Whoever dares to spread rumors, a critique and a demerit are unavoidable," he said, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

"If they’ve done it, they won’t leave without a trace. Just wait, we’ll have the results by tomorrow at the latest."

Qin Minsheng had no doubts about Secretary Luo’s abilities.

As a representative of him, those below wouldn’t dare not cooperate.

Qin Suqing’s voice was tinged with regret, "We have to wait until tomorrow? That’s so slow."

Who knows how many more will have spread the rumor by then.

Qin Minsheng glared at her, "It’s not slow. With so many people in the factory, it’s good if we can find out within a day."

Qin Suqing knew this, but it was her good friend who was at the center of the gossip, and she was anxious.

Thinking of Lin Tang, she couldn’t sit still any longer and stood up.

"Dad, I’m going to find Tangtang. Keep an eye on the investigation of that rotten behind-the-scene worm," she said.

Without waiting for Qin Minsheng to respond, Qin Suqing left the office as if her feet had sprouted wings.

Qin Minsheng: "..." If you think you can do better, then have at it!

When Lin Tang entered the factory, she felt many eyes on her.

Malice, disdain, mockery, schadenfreude, curiosity... All kinds of looks.

Faced with all these peculiar glances, she was totally clueless.

She successfully made it into the office.

Only Zhou Peiyu had arrived; the others hadn’t shown up yet.

"...Are you okay?" Zhou Peiyu asked cautiously.

Lin Tang raised an eyebrow in puzzlement, "What’s wrong?"

"You haven’t heard?" Zhou Peiyu looked surprised and hesitantly said, "There’s gossip about you in the factory. They’re saying that you... ditched your child fiancé and have been overly friendly with several male comrades."

After speaking, she quickly added, "I believe you’re not that kind of person. Have you offended anyone? You need to sort this out quickly; it’s not good for your reputation." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

It was only then that Lin Tang understood what had happened.

Really, trouble comes from the sky while one sits at home.

"I understand now, thank you," she said with a smile.

Lin Tang bowed her head and thought carefully.

No one in the factory should know about her and Liu Guohui.

The fact that it was circulating meant only one thing: someone from the village must have told someone at the factory.

Looking across the entire factory, the only person she had an issue with was—Zhang Qingqing.

But how did Zhang Qingqing find out about her past engagement with Liu Guohui?

As several faces flashed through her mind, Lin Tang’s gaze dimmed.

Just then, Du Xiaojuan arrived.

Seeing Lin Tang there, she hesitated for a moment, feeling a pang of pity for the young girl.

Having come from a rural background and reached her current position, the journey hadn’t been easy for the young girl.

And yet, she had to face all this unwarranted malice, stirring sympathy even in someone like Du Xiaojuan, who wasn’t usually moved by others’ predicaments.

Spreading rumors requires only a tongue, but avoiding them means running your legs off.

With the gossip swirling wildly, it would be difficult to quell.

Even if things were cleared up, there would undoubtedly be many who viewed Lin Tang with prejudiced eyes.

Du Xiaojuan said, "Comrade Lin, if you need to take a leave of absence, just say so. You don’t have to tough it out through special circumstances."

Lin Tang felt touched, and was about to thank the leader for her concern, when Qin Suqing, who had just entered and heard this conversation, interjected, "Tangtang doesn’t need to take leave. Director Qin has already ordered an investigation, and the results will be out tomorrow. Why should someone who has done nothing wrong need to take leave?"

In the presence of others, she referred to her father as Director Qin, clearly distinguishing public from private matters.

Qin Suqing looked at Lin Tang, her eyes filled with concern, and comforted her, "Tangtang, don’t worry, nothing will happen."

Her eyes, having cried earlier, were still red, and even the tip of her nose was flushed.
