Chapter 484: Chapter 484: Ask the Gentleman into the Urn

"This incident just happened, and there was nothing she could do; that mother and child were so pitiable, she couldn’t just turn around and leave to preserve her own integrity.

Besides, she wasn’t raised in fear, has justice in this world faded away, when those who do wrong can stand tall and righteous, while those upholding justice have to live in fear?

If that’s the case, the world’s order would not be far from collapsing.

"The principle is right, but we all live in the base, the only thing is to expel Zhao Guoqiang and send him back to his hometown."

"But if he really went back home, Qian Guizhi’s life would be even harder, not to mention that child."

Qiao Qingyu indignantly said, "Is there no justice in this world anymore, how come those who do wrong don’t pay the price, while the innocent have to suffer the consequences?"

"What you’re saying makes sense, but reality is just this reality. If Zhao Guoqiang were someone with a conscience, he wouldn’t have done such a thing, so can you naively expect a morally corrupt person to have a conscience?"

This was Mr. Wu speaking with a smile on his side.

Wu Qianyun also nodded, "Yes, Qingyu, you should stop worrying about this. Old Wei and the Women’s Federation have already intervened, let them decide how to resolve it."

Qiao Qingyu didn’t have time to meddle anymore, because she had another matter to attend to.

Regardless of whether Wang Sisi was human or ghost, He Xiuyu didn’t want to keep her in the base. It was clear she targeted Qiao Qingyu.

Therefore, she needed to coordinate with Yuan Hengzhi and Director Lin.

Qiao Qingyu moved a pot of Chinese roses from the windowsill. It was winter, and she got a box to put the flowers in; Wu Qianyun looked at her baffled, "What are you doing with it in the dead of winter, where are you taking it? It’ll freeze to death on the road."

"It’s okay, I walk fast, it’s only a few minutes to my office."

Then she quickly tied the box with nylon rope. The flower pot wasn’t big, containing a single Chinese rose with one bud and a blooming flower. She carried the box and headed to her own lab, dressed for the cold.

On the way, she ran into Old Xie’s wife Lin Cujuan and a few other family members, Lin Cujuan curiously asked, "Qingyu, what are you doing carrying a box in this winter?"

"This is a pot of Chinese roses from home, haven’t we had a new young girl from Beijing, young girls all like flowers and plants, I’m taking this pot to her office."

"Ah, you’re talking about Wang Sisi."

"Yes, that’s her."

"Wow, she’s quite bold and forthright, there are few like her nowadays."

"Right, you can’t talk about her, most people are just protective of themselves, pretending not to know even if they see."

You see, Wang Sisi’s actions had earned her countless good impressions.

Qiao Qingyu nodded busily, "I know, Wang Sisi’s actions are commendable, I have already praised her, immoral behavior cannot exist in our base."

Qiao Qingyu continued walking as she spoke.

Along the way, she encountered other people who said similar things, but most were still discussing Zhao Guoqiang’s family affairs; Qiao Qingyu quickly reached her workplace, laughing and jesting.

Upon entering the gate, there was a storeroom to the side, currently empty and quiet, but Qiao Qingyu knew Wang Sisi was in the office."

Qiao Qingyu, carrying a suitcase, first went to her own office, opened the suitcase, and took out the potted rose to place on her desk.

She was behind closed doors, then entered her secret space, and took out two more potted plants.

The flowers were quite ordinary, one was a rhododendron, and the other was aloe vera, which is now very popular among the people here.

Aloe vera was known for its medicinal properties; it could treat inflammations or abscesses by cutting it into slices and applying it to the affected areas.

This was something Qiao Qingyu had heard from the relatives, and she had never inquired whether it actually worked.

Because the aloe was surely beneficial, its scientific name was Aloe Vera, and soon people would develop all sorts of cosmetics with aloe as an ingredient, even incorporating it into food.

This pot of aloe vera was considered a new variety, dark green in color, fleshy and thick, looking very robust and full of life.

This one pot of aloe took up quite a bit of space.

Qiao Qingyu opened the door of her office and called out towards the corridor, "Wang Sisi, come to my office."

Wang Sisi was pondering how to leverage the situation involving Zhao Guoqiang when she heard Qiao Qingyu’s call. She hurriedly left her office and upon entering the room, seeing a small box on the floor, then the three potted plants on the table. Wang Sisi looked at Qiao Qingyu in surprise, "Leader, where did these come from?"

Qiao Qingyu smiled and said, "I brought these from home for you. Haven’t you always wanted roses and aloe vera? You can take the aloe to your dormitory; it’s easy to care for. And the rose can be placed in your office."

Wang Sisi blinked and still couldn’t help but ask, "Leader, how did you carry them here?"

Qiao Qingyu casually pointed to the ground, "Just with that suitcase."

Wang Sisi stared blankly at the suitcase on the floor.

Then suddenly, Qiao Qingyu stopped talking, and the room fell silent.

Wang Sisi suspiciously looked at Qiao Qingyu and saw a flash of panic cross her face. Clearly, Qiao Qingyu was nervous; her hands had formed into fists, slightly trembling, then she picked up the box in a flustered and clumsy attempt to conceal her agitation, saying, "Oh, you first move the plants to your office; I’ll throw away the box."

Without waiting for Wang Sisi to react with thanks, she had already left her office.

Wang Sisi furrowed her brows, her mind suddenly becoming clear, and her heart thudded.

Why was Qiao Qingyu so frantic?

And why did she lie? Those three pots couldn’t possibly fit in such a small suitcase to be brought to the office in Zone 5.

Wang Sisi followed out and saw Qiao Qingyu toss the suitcase into the storage room; then she closed the door, and who knows what she did in there. Wang Sisi’s eyes flickered but said nothing, yet her heart was not at peace.

It wasn’t long before Qiao Qingyu returned.

Wang Sisi hastily said, "Thank you, leader, you are so kind."

Qiao Qingyu was obviously distracted and instructed her to move all three pots to her own office. Wang Sisi took another look at Qiao Qingyu, who clearly did not dare to meet her gaze, and there was definite annoyance in her eyes.

Yes, that’s right, annoyance, and regret, as if she had carelessly done something and had been inadvertently caught, now even her face was red.

Suddenly, Wang Sisi recalled what the young miss had advised her – "Especially pay attention if there are mysteriously new objects around her that you have never seen before, like flowers, plants, fungi, or even some other items..."
