Chapter 41 My Cousin's Surname Is Rong
Chapter 41 My Cousin's Surname Is Rong
The Rong family was the most honored family in H City. They were like a royal family in ancient history.
Anyone who had 'Rong' as their surname, took it gloriously, even if they were not direct descendants of
Hiram Rong's family.
"Carl, it's okay. You should go now, " Rachel said. Rachel immediately stopped Carl from blurting out
her secret. She turned to her manager and said, "Mr. Wang, I hope it's clear that my car does not
belong to Mr. Zhang. I should let Carl go back to his work now."
It was really just a coincidence that Mr. Zhang and Rachel both had a Volkswagen car. They all saw
that their plate numbers were different, and confirmed that her car was not Mr. Zhang's. Rachel thought
that there was no need for Carl to stay there anymore.
"Rachel, you are already married to his cousin. But how could you still make that mistake? Was it for
the sake of improving your sales performance?" Walter Wang asked her accusingly. Walter Wang was
still suspicious about Rachel's marriage.
"Mr. Wang, I've done nothing wrong. It was just a rumor. Please don't ruin my reputation!" Rachel
snapped. She took a deep breath. She couldn't understand why he couldn't believe her. Why did he
insist that she had an improper relationship with Mr. Zhang?
Rachel suspected that someone must have told something awful about her to their manager.
"See? How bad of you!" Walter Wang pointed at Rachel. He wore a righteous look and said, "There is a
rumor about you going around with Mr. Zhang, which could damage our company's reputation. As one
of the leaders of our company, it's my obligation to find out the truth!"
"Shut up! Who are you? How could you talk to my sister-in-law like that?" Carl annoyingly yelled. He
was about to leave, but when he saw that the manager treated Rachel badly, he couldn't help but stand
in front of Rachel to protect her.
"Hahaha..." Walter chuckled. He looked at Carl who was protecting Rachel and said, "Who am I? I am
her manager!"
"Really? You are just a manager of that small company. How dare you scold my sister-in-law! Don't you
know who she is?" Carl had learned some of Hiram's temper as he had worked for him for a long time.
Carl got very angry when he saw his sister-in-law being bullied by her manager.
"Wow, wow! Can you hear yourself boasting?" Walter laughed at Carl in disdain. 'This young boy is so
bold. How dare he talk to me with such arrogance?' Walter thought.
Rachel pulled Carl's arm and tried to stop him. She shook her head and persuaded, "Carl, he is my
manager. Please mind your manner."
"But, Rachel..." Carl wasn't convinced. But before he could say something more, he saw the distress in
Rachel's eyes. Then, he reluctantly stopped talking.
Soon enough, Carl's phone rang. He took out his phone and checked who was calling. Then he hastily
went away from them and answered, "Brother."
"I have just finished my meeting. Why did Rachel ask you to drive her car to her company?" Hiram
asked on the other end of the line. Hiram had just come out of the meeting room. He felt that Rachel
must have been in trouble. Otherwise, she wouldn't ask Carl to drive the car there.
Rachel would rather take a bus than ask him for help.
"Brother...um... I… But… she doesn't allow me to tell you, " Carl stammered. He felt baffled and looked
at Rachel who was trying her best to explain herself to her managers.
But Hiram scolded Carl and exclaimed, "Are you working for her, or for me? Think about who you
should follow!" After Hiram heard Carl stammered, he felt even more certain that something wrong
happened to her. Nonetheless, he couldn't understand why Rachel kept it from him.
Hiram absolutely knew that Rachel had a good ability in dealing with her problems on her own. So he
thought that she had come across a serious problem that was beyond her control.
"Brother, actually, I am not so sure about it. She asked me to drive the car to her company. It seems
that the new car you bought for her has caused some misunderstanding. She is now explaining herself This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
to her managers, "
Carl said honestly.
Carl understood well Hiram's temper. He knew that it was hard to keep things from him, so Carl
decided to tell everything to Hiram.
Hiram loosened his tie, unbuttoned the topmost button of his shirt and sat down on his office chair.
Then he instructed Carl through the phone, "Don't hang the phone up and approach them now."
Then, from the crowd, the Marketing Department manager finally opened his mouth to help Rachel and
said, "Mr. Wang, after all, you don't have any solid evidence. I think it's not good to accuse Rachel like
that!"
"Mr. Song, someone saw it and told me everything. I wouldn't accuse Rachel without any reason, "
Walter said to the Marketing Department manager confidently.
Then, Walter looked at Rachel and spoke the evidence he got. "Someone saw that Rachel went to see
Mr. Zhang in the shopping mall. She talked with Mr. Zhang for only ten minutes, but Mr. Zhang
immediately promised to consider using her proposal. That person also saw that Rachel had physical
contact with Mr. Zhang. Rachel already admitted it."
Walter paused for a while and continued, "And what's more? Mr. Sun, the manager of the X shopping
mall, changed his opinions and suddenly agreed to Rachel's plan. See? If she had done nothing under
the table, how could that have happened?"
The Marketing Department manager doubted Rachel after he heard Walter's words. 'How did Rachel
have no trouble doing all her work?' he thought.
The director of the company looked around them. He tried to intervene and said, "Mr. Wang, no matter
what you say, even if Rachel has done something not proper, she did it for the good of our company. I
think we've come too far now. We'd better not bring any more trouble and just let it pass."
Walter immediately nodded his head after he heard what the director said. He was so baffled and
explained, "Sir, I didn't mean to bring any trouble to our company. I just thought that the rumor would
damage our company's reputation. It would also have bad impact on our sales. Rachel Ruan is the
center of this rumor, so I asked her to explain herself.
At first, I didn't believe all of it, but I have a witness for this rumor. It's Sandy Zhang of sales team B.
She said that she saw Rachel and Mr. Zhang go inside a hotel and that they kept a very special
relationship. That's why I am investigating and want to make everything clear."
When they heard that Walter had a witness, the director and other managers who were there doubted
Rachel. They wondered if it was true.
Rachel wasn't surprised to hear Walter's words. She had already guessed who slandered her. It was
clear to her now that it was Sandy Zhang.
"Mr. Wang, please ask Ms. Zhang to come here and confront me. She said that she saw me having an
affair, so I think she should come here and make everything clear, " Rachel said.
'Why did Sandy Zhang slander me? Was she afraid that I will reveal her affair with Mr. Zhang?' Rachel
wondered in her mind.
"I knew it. Sandy said that you would ask her to come here and explain, and that you threatened her
when you knew that she discovered your secret. You threatened her that if she exposed your affair to
any person, you would find other ways to frame her up! She was right. And I believe what Sandy said.
It's so disgusting to have a person like you in our Sales Department. You are a disgrace to our
company!"
Walter shook his head and snapped after he saw Rachel's confident face.
Rachel paused for a while. She didn't expect that Sandy would be so smart to do all of it. Sandy
already got prepared for what was coming in advance.
"Mr. Wang, did you get all your information from one person only? From Sandy alone?" Rachel asked.
Rachel was confused and wondered why Walter trusted Sandy so much.
