Second Marriage with the Alliance Marshal

In the afternoon, the Sixth Group received notice, asking them to assist the Third Group to complete the development of the thunder engine.

A large number of new tasks smashed down at once, making Xu Xinghe busy and at the same time feel excited at this kind of hard work. As a result, he worked overtime in one breath and didn’t go home until after eleven o’clock in the evening.

It happened that Ling Changfeng had something to do as well, and sent an email in advance to say that he would not come back.

So after Xu Xinghe went home, he took a shower and fell asleep. That ‘s it.

The next morning, when he stepped into the office building again, he inadvertently made eye contact with a few colleagues, and he always felt that the way some people looked at him had changed again.

It was very subtle.

Xu Xinghe walked into his office with an inexplicable look on his face.

While pouring coffee, Ajia walked in diligently, and when she saw Xu Xinghe, she hesitated.

Xu Xinghe poured the coffee, leaned back on the seat, looked at Ajia and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Ajia struggled again and again, but still whispered, “Team leader, there’s a trivial and ridiculous little thing that I don’t know if I should let you know… I’m afraid it will affect your mood if I say it, but I’m afraid if I don’t tell you, things will ferment.”

Xu Xinghe took a sip of coffee and raised his head, “Tell me.”

Ajia thoughtfully said: “On our internal Xingzhou forum, a post suddenly appeared last night, saying that you and the Third Group’s new intern… got very close.”

Xingzhou Forum is an anonymous forum for employees inside Ark. It is for everyone to be able to speak freely and to freely report unreasonable happenings in the department or problems in their work, so things are kept anonymous. Because of this, over time, some unscrupulous gossip posts will inevitably be generated.

After hearing this, Team Leader Xu was at a loss. “What? That intern from the Third Group? Who’s kidding, I haven’t seen him before.”

”Although I know there must be no problem between the two of you, it was the 24K pure idiot poster who spread rumors… But you should have seen him.”

Xu Xinghe frowned: “Why do you say that?”

Ajia opened the Xingzhou forum, and clicked on the post floating on the homepage, and said bravely: “There are photos.”

When the photo was clicked, it was a picture of two big heads coming together.

The two were at the desk, not knowing what they were discussing, and their heads were almost pressed together. At first glance, they seemed to be intimate.

Xu Xinghe was stunned, staring at another young man in a plaid shirt in disbelief.

The voice was a bit dry: “He—”

He pointed at Gu Nai in the photo, “He’s the Third Group’s new intern?”

“Yeah.” Ajia nodded, “His name is Gu Nai, the one with the legendary relationship.”

Xu Xinghe: “…”

He put down the coffee and said blankly. “This is a photo of me going to the Third Group yesterday afternoon to discuss I/O acceleration.”

It’s ridiculous. Even in a small meeting between colleagues, there may be times when they whissper, let alone, when they discuss issues attentively. Such getting close is called “intimate contact”?

Xu Xinghe glanced at the content of the poster’s remarks, and grabbed the screen to read more. In short, it implied he had put a green hat on Ling Changfeng.

He scrolled down, and there were not only photos of him and Gu Nai talking yesterday afternoon, but also photos of the two people meeting in a convenience store. In the photo, the two backs were walking side by side. Depicted in a similarly intimate fashion.

“Who took this picture? Paying so much attention to me, his father.” Xu Xinghe clicked his tongue, and then scrolled down to read the replies –

3rd floor: [What can you tell from these two pictures? The landlord is really afraid that the world will not be chaotic] ​

4th floor: [Impossible, who would dare to pry the corner of Marshal Ling? Even if the intern is a related household, the relationship won’t be bigger than Marshal Ling.]

6th floor: [Yes, doesn’t Marshal Ling and Team Leader Xu have a good relationship? Yesterday, he personally helped to ask for leave.]

7th floor: [But I heard that the intern once applied for a change to the Sixth Group, and then I don’t know why they didn’t change it again]

13th floor: [What the hell? Instead of going to a large group like the Third Group, he wants to go to the Sixth Group??]

15th floor: [Speaking of which, I seem to have seen Gu Nai walking out of the office of Team Leader Xu the other day…]

18th floor: [eat melon eat melon]

Xu Xinghe saw this, his fingertips froze, Gu Nai has also applied for a group change?

27th floor: [It seems that our Team Leader Xu is not only capable of technical skills, but also has some psychological means]

35th floor: [Although… did anyone find out that the landlord took pictures secretly??]

36th floor: [Yes, the landlord is terrible, I hope there are no such colleagues around me]

50th floor: [It’s all gone, what is there to discuss about this kind of chasing after the wind?]

58th floor: [Please, what’s wrong with colleagues getting together to discuss an issue?? How did this get put on the forum? Does the landlord1OP – original poster have a mental illness? Or are they just lazy? In addition, have you forgotten that photography is not allowed inside the Ark! I reported this post! Good luck!]

Xu Xinghe took a cursory glance, and there were some posts in the post who complained of injustice for him, scolding the landlord for making trouble, and took the opportunity to ridicule them.

Xu Xinghe chuckled, looked up and asked Ajia: “Is this the 58th poster you?”

Ajia leaned over to take a look. “This should be Ryan, the one who scolds the landlord for writing a novel is me!”

Xu Xinghe: “…”

He glanced at Ajia’s posting time and raised his eyebrows: “At twelve o’clock in the middle of the night, why are you scolding people in the forum and not sleeping?”

Ajia said angrily, “Because some people are just hateful! I’m sure they don’t even dare fart in front of you, which is why they’re talking nonsense on the anonymous forum.”

After speaking, she raised her head and glanced at Xu Xinghe who was calm. “Team leader, aren’t you angry?

“What’s the use?” Xu Xinghe touched his chin, looked at the picture in the post thoughtfully, then raised his hand and patted Ajia’s head, got up and said, “You go to work, I’ll go to Mr. Liang.”

It’s not time to go to work yet, but Mr. Liang always comes early. When Xu Xinghe knocked on the door, he was sitting at the table, frowning at his smartphone.

Seeing Xu Xinghe coming to him at this time, he couldn’t help being surprised. He closed the screen and said, “Xinghe, what’s the matter?”

Xu Xinghe stood in front of Mr. Liang’s desk and asked straight to the point, “Mr. Liang, this time, the development of the thunder engine, isn’t it an S-class confidential project?”

Liang Shilei nodded: “Of course, you just signed a non-disclosure agreement yesterday, what’s wrong?”

Leader Xu went straight to the topic: “When I was in the Third Group yesterday afternoon to discuss the core performance of IOPS, I was secretly photographed. The table was full of classified materials, and the person who secretly photographed is suspected of leaking secrets at the first level.” After a pause, he said calmly, “It is recommended to investigate who’s responsible.”
