Director Zhang knew a bit of the inside story, and hearing this, he assumed Lin Qin was completely in the dark. Not wanting to spell it out, he could only coax her good-naturedly: "Yes, yes, yes, you were indeed wronged in this matter. I will have a stern word with Zhao Xue and guarantee she won't give you any more trouble. Someone sent a box of tea the other day, and I tried it—it's quite good. Take it back with you and have a taste."
When Lin Qin saw this, a wide smile spread across her face. "Director Zhang is generous as always! Since you're being so generous, I'll shamelessly accept it! Thanks!"
With that, she immediately turned to leave. Just as she opened the door, she turned back. "By the way, Director Zhang, while I'm certainly unhappy with Zhao Xue meddling in things that aren't her business, credit where credit is due. Since I've accepted your gift, there's no way I'd go back on my word. The person who settled scores and vented frustration for my precious daughter this time is someone else entirely!"
