After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?
Chapter 131 Application

Chapter 131: Chapter 131 Application

After Jiang Zhixun finished guiding the newcomers, his task was completed successfully. He began preparing materials to apply for reassignment back to Beijing.

At this time, the weather had already turned cold.

Another winter had arrived.

Having spent four years in the Northwest, he completed numerous high-difficulty tasks and earned many honors.

Applying to return to Beijing shouldn’t be a problem.

Jiang Zhixun felt a flutter of excitement, imagining the scene of reuniting with Shen Qingqing.

The last meeting wasn’t pleasant; she had been kidnapped and frightened.

This time, he should choose a better way.

Jiang Zhixun pondered deeply and finally decided to bring a bouquet of flowers when he met Shen Qingqing.

The things he failed to do when they got married, he would make up for one by one.

No more living apart; during his vacations, he could help Qingqing with her work.

Accompany her in doing everything she wants to do.

As long as he showed sincerity, things would gradually improve.

He wondered if they could get remarried before the New Year; otherwise, they would truly have to pass the anniversary of their divorce...

This thought was too inauspicious, so Jiang Zhixun quickly dismissed it from his mind.

Only he was in the dormitory, and the rustling sound of preparing materials filled the room.

He spent the whole night getting all the materials ready.

He checked everything and made sure there were no mistakes, then delivered them to the leader’s office the next day.

The leader looked troubled, "Let’s wait a bit on this matter; now isn’t the right time."

Jiang Zhixun was puzzled, "Have you assigned me another task?"

"No."

"Then why wait? Everything was agreed upon earlier."

If the organization had given him a task, he would stay without hesitation.

Even though he really missed Shen Qingqing.

He also feared someone might take advantage and pursue Shen Qingqing.

But having chosen this path, he should understand what his mission is.

The leader didn’t beat around the bush anymore and sighed, "You’ve been anonymously accused."

"Huh?"

Jiang Zhixun wondered if there was something wrong with his ears, "I haven’t made any mistakes or done anything unethical. What are they accusing me of?"

"They said you’re using backdoor channels to return to Beijing."

Jiang Zhixun: "..."

Speaking of this, the leader felt a headache.

"I initially wanted to suppress this, so everyone wouldn’t believe or spread rumors, but since it’s already out there, suppressing it might backfire. So I’ve decided to let them say what they want, but your application will have to wait."

Jiang Zhixun’s expression turned stern.

He understood the leader’s meaning.

If he didn’t submit his application at this critical moment, the matter would pass.

If he did apply, those spreading rumors might get more enthusiastic, causing further trouble.

He didn’t care what others said about him, but he had to consider the impact on the organization and his family.

"I can delay the application, but who accused me?"

Backdoor channels...

Jiang Zhixun even wanted to laugh.

All these years, each step was made by him alone. His family members might give advice but never intended for him to take shortcuts.

This reason for accusation? How ridiculous it sounds!

And he hadn’t even applied yet, but someone had already reported him — wasn’t this deliberate sabotage?

The leader wore a complex expression, "All reports are anonymous; I can’t disclose the informant’s details. You’ll have to think for yourself."

It was the first time Jiang Zhixun encountered such a thing.

He hadn’t offended anyone and got along well with his comrades.

During training, everyone cooperated well; even if there were disagreements, it never escalated to resentment.

He really couldn’t think of anyone who hated him so much, going so far behind his back just to mess with him.

"Can you give me a hint?"

The leader repeated, "Think for yourself. If you can’t figure it out, just accept the situation quietly."

"I can’t accept that!"

Returning to Beijing was a big deal.

Whoever sabotaged it was definitely against him!

Jiang Zhixun clicked his tongue, his expression deep and shadowy, "It’d be best if I didn’t find out who was causing trouble behind my back."

The leader widened his eyes, "What, you want to hit someone? Fighting is against the rules — do you want to write a self-reflection report?"

Jiang Zhixun genuinely wanted to hit someone.

Normally, he could let it go, but now with urgent matters, someone was deliberately causing trouble — how could he not be angry?

He pinched the bridge of his nose, "My wife is sick, and I want to go back to spend more time with her. When will this issue be resolved? I’ll submit my application then."

Even though they were divorced, he still referred to Shen Qingqing as his wife. The leader didn’t bother to mention it.

After some thought, "Apply after the New Year."

It’s just a few months; the rumors would surely fade by then.

"Your name is listed for this year’s commendation conference; after that, when you apply, people won’t have much to say."

"I know you’re eager to return to Beijing, but you must consider the impact, right?"

Jiang Zhixun understood all the reasoning but still felt uncomfortable inside.

He asked, "You won’t disclose the person who reported the rumor, but have you discovered who started it?"

The leader opened a book and began reading.

"Can’t you ask yourself?"

Jiang Zhixun gritted his teeth, "Fine, I’ll ask myself."

Thinking it over, he left the materials behind, "Please help approve them when it’s appropriate, and do it as soon as possible!"

The leader chuckled, "You brat, giving me orders now!"

"Did I? You heard wrong."

The leader tapped his finger at him, "You’re hard to argue with; if you’re like this with Miss Shen, be careful she doesn’t ignore you."

Jiang Zhixun felt a pang in his heart.

"Say something nice."

The leader spoke with deep meaning, "Isn’t that right? When Miss Shen came to find you last time, the things you said in the canteen — do you need me to refresh your memory?"

Jiang Zhixun didn’t want to remember.

Every time he thought about it, he wished he could slap himself twice.

He was truly at fault with Qingqing.

Very much at fault!

Speaking gruffly, "I know I was wrong. I won’t repeat it in the future."

The leader stopped teasing him.

"Knowing your mistake is good; from now on, perform well."

Jiang Zhixun had been in the Northwest for four years, with an exceptionally outstanding performance. The leader genuinely wanted him to stay.

But his roots were in Beijing, and his desire to transfer back was understandable.

As long as one can shine on their post, they can realize their life value anywhere.

Speaking heart-to-heart, "At work, you’re a good comrade. I hope in your personal life, you can also admit your mistakes and be a responsible and accountable person."

Jiang Zhixun set aside his indifferent demeanor and stood up straight, saluting.

"Following the leader’s orders!"

"Alright, alright, head out; I have urgent matters to attend to."

Jiang Zhixun left the leader’s office, ready to find out who was spreading rumors behind his back.

After asking a few people, he discovered the source was the hospital.

"The patient’s family members were the first to say it. When they’re bored, they chat together, spreading it further and further, leading to this current situation."

Hospital...

A name immediately popped into Jiang Zhixun’s mind.

Yang Fen!

Before Shen Qingqing came to the Northwest, apart from the leader, no one knew his private matters.

He rarely went to the hospital, and the times he interacted with people there could be counted on one hand.

The person who could gossip about this kind of thing, other than Yang Fen, he couldn’t think of anyone else.

Jiang Zhixun felt he had a hunch, but he didn’t want to falsely accuse anyone.

So he went to the hospital and investigated in person.

The person spreading rumors was indeed Yang Fen.

Jiang Zhixun laughed in frustration.

How dare she!
