Such a Rude and Noisy Woman

Chapter 40 A Convincing Explanation

"Everything I said is true. Why don't you ask those who spread the rumor? Ask them where they heard

it. You will know if I lied to you or not after you find out who spread the rumor."

Rachel managed to restrain her anger. After working for the company's sales for so long, she had

learned to solve all problems calmly.

"Rachel, I know that you are good at arguing, but I just want you to tell me the truth. Do you really have

a relationship with Mr. Zhang?"

Walter said while holding his tea cup. Then he added, "You have worked in our company for a long

time. In fact, you have even made a lot of profits for our company. If you tell me everything honestly, I

will defend you in front of our general manager."

When she heard him, Rachel felt disappointed. She realized that he just wanted her to admit that the

rumor was true.

"Mr. Wang, I didn't really do it. Why would you ask me to admit a thing that I never did?"

"You..." Walter pointed at Rachel discontentedly and said, "I saw that someone drove you to the

company this morning. That car is the same as Mr. Zhang's car. How would you explain that?"

"What?"

Rachel didn't expect that she would be asked to explain that. She immediately shook her head and

replied, "It was just a coincidence. I just bought that car. I didn't know that Mr. Zhang also has the same

car."

She felt strange. When Hiram drove her to the company with his Maybach before, no one noticed her,

except Celine who always paid attention to her. But after the rumor spread, everyone kept an eye on

her.

"Coincidence? There is no such thing as coincidence in this world. Besides, would you really buy a car

that is worth so much money? You can't afford that car with your current salary, " Walter said while

staring at Rachel.

As the sales department manager, he had to save money for two or three years to buy such car. While

Rachel was just a sales team leader and just worked for three years. How could she afford such car?

'She was just wishing, ' he thought.

"It is easy to know if it's really true. We can find Mr. Zhang's car and check his plate number. That way,

you will know if I really said the truth, "

Rachel suggested systematically. She knew that an evidence was better than a mere explanation.

"Okay. I have a friend who works at the X shopping mall. I will ask him to check Mr. Zhang's plate

number." Then, Walter picked his phone and started to call someone.

"Mr. Wang, you can ask your friend about it first. If necessary, I can also ask someone to drive my car

here to cooperate with your investigation work. I need to go now. I have some work to do first, " Rachel

said as she saw him still trying to contact his friend.

Walter waved his hand and let her leave.

After she left the manager's office, Rachel went to the Team B's area. However, she was told that

Sandy was on sick leave for two days and hadn't come to work.

So, Rachel came back to the Team A's office. When she saw Rachel come in, Celine stood up and

asked, "Did Mr. Wang put you in an awkward situation? Does he believe you?"

Rachel sat back on her seat depressingly and shook her head. She found that after she was involved in

the rumor, she couldn't give a convincing explanation any more. She felt very helpless.

"What? The manager doesn't believe you?" Celine was very angry and patted the documents. After a

while, Celine seemed to come up with something, so she rushed to Rachel's desk and said in a low

voice, "Rachel, you haven't told him about one thing yet.

You should tell him that you are married already. If he knows that you are Mr. Rong's wife, he will

definitely believe that you didn't hook up with Mr. Zhang just to persuade him to accept your proposal.

Then no one will believe that you did such desperate action."

Celine thought she should have thought of it earlier.

Hiram was a very powerful and wealthy man. As Hiram's wife, Rachel could do and buy anything she

liked, making her impossible to do such thing.

Rachel glanced at Celine, took a folder and said, "If I tell other people about me being Hiram's wife, no

company will ever employ me."

Though Hiram hid his identity from others very well, people definitely knew him. People knew that he

was the owner of their family business even if they hadn't met him in person.

The Streams Company that belonged to the Rong Group was listed in the top fifty companies of the

world. It was known well in H City. If people knew that she was Hiram's wife, no one would dare to hire

her.

"Rachel, what are you afraid of? You are Mr. Rong's wife and you don't have to work." Celine wondered

why Rachel cared about her job so much.

Rachel didn't reply. She began to edit the file in the computer while checking the paper she held.

Then the afternoon arrived. The manager's secretary came to tell her to drive her car to the company.

Rachel agreed, and immediately called Hiram.

"Hello? If you want to say something, please do it quickly. I'm in the middle of a meeting now." Hiram

answered the phone after he came out of the meeting room.

Rachel took a deep breath, but didn't know how to tell him what happened. She then frankly said,

"Hiram, I have something to deal with now. Can you ask Carl to drive the car that you just bought for

me to my company?"

"Sure." Hiram didn't think about it much and immediately agreed. But, he suddenly realized that there

might be something wrong, so he asked Rachel, "Why do you only want that particular car?"

"Nothing. Your other cars are too luxurious. That is the only one that seems low-end." Rachel tried not

to make him doubt her words.

"Okay. It will arrive at your workplace after half an hour." Hiram stopped asking her about what really

happened.

Rachel hung the phone up and heaved a sigh of relief.

She wanted to tell the manager her car's plate number only, but she was worried that he might not

believe her. So, she had to ask Carl to drive it here.

Carl arrived at her workplace after half an hour. "Rachel, why did you ask me to come here urgently? Is

there any problem?"

Rachel asked him to park the car right in front of the company's gate and added, "Carl, please don't tell

Hiram about what will happen next. OK?"

"Huh? Well, okay." Though he had no idea what was going on, Carl nodded and agreed as he heard

that Rachel said it seriously.

After a while, Walter and other company's supervisors came to the front gate.

"Is this the car that you just bought?" Walter walked around and stopped behind the car to see the plate

number. He was stunned to see that the plate number was '6666'.

'Even Mr. Zhang wouldn't be able to afford this plate number, ' Walter thought.

"Rachel, is this really your car? Do you have your vehicle's license?" Walter doubted and thought that

Rachel just borrowed a car to lie to him. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Rachel kept silent. She thought that she didn't buy the car herself, so her name might not even be on

the vehicle's license.

"Sister-in-law, here it is." Carl took the vehicle's license out of the car and gave it to Rachel.

Walter took it from Rachel and found that her name was on it. He glanced at Carl and said, "What did

you just call her? Sister-in-law? She is your brother's..."

Everyone in the company knew that Rachel was still single.

Walter wondered why Carl called her sister-in-law.

Rachel tried her best to wink at Carl, but Carl didn't notice her. He looked at those annoying

supervisors and said, "Do you really want to know who she really is? Then, I will tell you.

She is my cousin's wife. They got their marriage license just a few days ago. My cousin bought her this

car. Why do you really want to know her family background?"

Carl said impatiently.

"Wait a second... Your cousin's surname is Zhang, right?" Walter began to make a wild guess. He

heard that Mr. Zhang wanted to divorce his wife some time ago.

But, Carl just laughed out loud and proudly said, "That's bullshit! My cousin's surname is not Zhang. It's

Rong."
