She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 70: Chapter 070: Two Major Figures of Influence

“Thank you!” Sheng Ning quietly sized up the other person with a glance. In his thirties, with fine wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, his smile was surprisingly charming. He somewhat resembled the popular Hong Kong actor Liang Chaowei, especially when her eyes swept over the epaulets on his shoulder.

So, he was the big boss.

Sheng Ning’s gaze fleetingly passed over Sun Gan, standing behind the man, thankful that he wasn’t the one interrogating her.

“Newcomer to the Song and Dance Troupe, Sheng Ning, reporting for duty.” Sheng Ning’s movements were impeccably standard, eliciting an approving look from the man across from her.

“Please have a seat, Comrade Sheng Ning,” the man said with a gentle demeanor, a stark contrast to Sun Gan.

“My name is Su Hai, director of the Inspection Department.” Su Hai held a high position, but didn’t put on airs, making him quite likable.

Hearing the name Su Hai, Sheng Ning’s eyes widened in astonishment. Su Hai? That… that was one of the future pillars of the union.

In the next twenty years, there would be two influential figures. One was Xu Qigang from the rescue team, and the other was Su Hai, President of the union.

In her past life, Sheng Ning, discredited and disgraced, had missed the chance to meet Xu Qigang. Naturally, she had no opportunity to encounter this future influential figure.

Su Hai’s mind was lightning-fast, and no slight emotional shift could escape his eyes. Sheng Ning’s reaction stirred his curiosity.

“Do you know me?”

“No… No!” Sheng Ning snapped back from her reverie. Looking at Su Hai now, she felt a trace of aversion.

This future President was Qin Cuifen’s most significant support and the reason she could trample everyone underfoot.

Su Hai looked at Sheng Ning with a puzzled gaze, but seeing her head lowered, he didn’t press further. He quickly skimmed the file in front of him before saying, “Comrade Sheng Ning, did you write the self-criticism letter from yesterday yourself? You should know that the union maintains strict discipline; falsifying anything is strictly forbidden.”

“Huh?” Sheng Ning had never expected the report against her to be because of the self-criticism letter. “I wrote it. Is there a problem?”

“The content is very well written,” Su Hai praised without stinginess. “However, we received an anonymous report alleging that you didn’t write the self-criticism letter yourself. Neither the handwriting nor the content. So, we wanted to ask you to come and cooperate with the investigation. If you confess honestly, I can let you off with just a warning; you won’t be dismissed.”

“There’s no need, I wrote it, and I have nothing to confess.”

A cold smile emerged on the corner of Sheng Ning’s lips. Handwriting, content—who else could it be if not Qin Cuifen? They had grown up together, studied together. How well she did in her studies and how her writing looked—Qin Cuifen knew it all too well.

The past Sheng Ning definitely could not write in the way she did now, nor could she produce such content.

But… now everything was different. If she were still ignorant and foolish after ten years in prison, she would be wasting the opportunity heaven had given her to be reborn.

“You don’t admit to someone else’s accusations?” Su Hai gazed at the girl in front of him with interest. The more he looked, the more familiar she seemed, and her defiant and unyielding gaze greatly suited his taste; she had the backbone of a Su family person.
