Jiang Nanfang stated righteously, "I'm known in the industry for my dedication to work. Who's being half-hearted? Don't accuse me falsely."
"Vice President Gao, weren't we going to inspect the products? Let's go. True gold fears no fire, inspect as much as you like."
Vice President Gao, unaware of what had transpired between the two privately, quickly accepted the challenge when she spoke.
"President Zhan, shall we proceed to the laboratory then?"
Caught red-handed with concrete evidence, yet still denying and lying.
She could praise herself without batting an eyelid. This woman was truly a liar!
Zhan Beijue gave her a look of disdain and walked out at a leisurely pace.
All technicians from the entire technical department were summoned to the laboratory.
Jiang Nanfang personally demonstrated every testing step to Zhan Bei. For those that wouldn't yield results today, they would have to wait until tomorrow.
She presented the day's experimental data alongside previous results, allowing him to compare them himself.
"The product performance is very stable. I've conducted numerous experiments, and it meets the standards, making it perfectly suitable for mass production. President Zhan, please inspect freely."
Seeing her confidence and skillful execution, Zhan Beijue knew he couldn't find fault with her in this regard.
However, he wouldn't let her off the hook so easily.
He casually scanned the data, handed it to Vice President Gao, and then asked everyone to leave.
"I have a few words to say to Engineer Jiang. Everyone else, please leave if there's nothing else."
The crowd, unsure of what he intended to discuss privately with Jiang Nanfang, obediently withdrew.
Once everyone had dispersed, Zhan Beijue, with a grim expression, got straight to the point.
"Jiang Nanfang, how many more secrets do you have that I don't know about?"
"?" Jiang Nanfang didn't understand what he was talking about.
Secrets?
Could it be that Zhan Beijue had found out about her starting a company?
Jiang Nanfang was somewhat surprised.
She had always believed she was discreet enough in her domestic dealings.
Her discretion was evident to everyone.
She was essentially a loner, relying on taxis for transportation. Could he still have found out?
He was far too invested in her!
Seeing her feign ignorance, with an expression of stubborn refusal.
Zhan Beijue let out a cold laugh, "Do you have some kind of emotional deprivation? Regardless of gender, age, or anything else that catches your eye, you'll throw yourself at them without hesitation?"
Jiang Nanfang became even more confused: "??"
"I know everything you did outside just now. I never expected you to be so disgusting."
"No, I'm even more disgusted with myself. Not only did a woman like you bear me children, but even..."
"Perhaps your mother's early passing caused childhood psychological trauma, leading to mental illness. Hopefully, such issues are not hereditary."
"For the sake of the children's health, Jiang Nanfang, you need to come with me to see a psychiatrist now."
What was he even talking about? What nonsense was he spouting?
Jiang Nanfang was completely bewildered.
"Why do I have psychological problems? How is it hereditary? Why are you bringing up my mother and childhood?"
"Zhan Beijue, what exactly are you trying to say?"
He had made it so clear, yet she still wouldn't admit it and wanted to deny it?
Zhan Beijue took out his phone and magnified the photo for her to see.
"Still so stubborn? You really like to see the coffin before shedding tears, don't you? Did you think your sordid affairs could escape my notice?"
So that was it.
Upon seeing the photo, Jiang Nanfang finally understood.
She had merely kissed a woman? He thought she had issues in that department?
Recalling his earlier words, Jiang Nanfang found it a bit amusing.
"Suddenly called back by Vice President Gao, to test products for you, and have the entire technical department report to you. So the ultimate purpose was to discuss this matter."
"Zhan Beijue, if I were to tell you that I genuinely don't like men and only like women, would you be very disappointed?"
Shameless woman!
Clearly having psychological issues, yet she dared to steal his genes. She was asking for death!
Seeing her nonchalant attitude, Zhan Beijue became even more enraged.
He stepped forward and grabbed her wrist.
"Whether you like men or women has nothing to do with me. If it weren't for the children, do you think I'd bother looking at you?"
"Jiang Nanfang, before I lose my temper, obediently come with me to see a psychiatrist. I need to ensure your vile habits are not passed down to my children."
"If it is hereditary, and irreversible, today will be your last day."
His words were solemn and somber, yet Jiang Nanfang maintained a flippant demeanor.
"Don't say I'm joking. Even if it were true, the children are already this old. If it's irreversible, it's irreversible. What good would killing me do?"
"???"
"Your views are truly conservative. In this day and age, many countries allow legal marriage for same-sex couples. How can kissing a person of the same sex be considered mental illness here?"
"You are not fit to raise children, Zhan Beijue. You can't even give them basic freedom in love. If they don't meet your expectations when they grow up, wouldn't you break their legs?"
"I'm different. As long as the children are happy, they can like whomever they want. If the children are with me..."
Zhan Beijue impatiently tightened his grip on her hand, cutting off her rambling.
"Less nonsense. Just tell me directly if the photo is real, that's all that matters."
Look at how nervous he was.
Was he truly concerned about the children, or about himself?
His anxious demeanor was rather amusing. Jiang Nanfang deliberately provoked him, looking at him with a smile.
"I don't like women. What happened just now was just for fun."
"But who took the photo for you? They're quite skilled. I look quite good in it. Let me admire it again."
She made a move to take his phone. Zhan Beijue, annoyed, released her and took a step back.
He was anxious and furious, almost at his wit's end.
This woman, acting as if nothing had happened, was even admiring the photo and its angle?
Was she even human? Did she have a heart?
"You have no credibility with me whatsoever. What comes out of your mouth is worth less than flatulence."
"One moment you like men, the next you like women. Are you perhaps bisexual?"
"Others may not know what I truly like, but don't you know?"
Jiang Nanfang said meaningfully, her gaze lingering on Zhan Beijue.
"If I truly liked women, I wouldn't have taken an interest in you and conceived children with you?"
"..."
"Besides, haven't you tested it again recently? Can't you see my reaction? Do you still need to doubt me in this regard?"
Such thick skin.
She had painted a vivid picture instantly.
Zhan Beijue uncomfortably turned his face away, feeling a heat rush up to his ears.
That damned woman, so shameless, saying anything!
But truthfully, hearing her explanation made Zhan Beijue happy.
"How did you end up involved with Zhou Jinxu? Why were you playing such a perverse game in broad daylight?"
The more he acted pure, the more she wanted to show him just how pure he was.
And he was blushing? Had he not touched any other woman besides her all these years?
Seeing him like a shy bride, Jiang Nanfang couldn't help but become more assertive.
"Your cousin is a masochist. After I beat him once, he got addicted and insisted on being my boyfriend, begging me to beat him every day from now on."
"To avoid his harassment, I had to play along."
