Chapter 40 A Convincing Exnation
"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 thepany''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 rtionship with Mr. Zhang?"
Walter said while holding his tea cup. Then he added, "You have worked in ourpany for a long
time. In fact, you have even made a lot of profits for ourpany. 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
"What?"
Rachel didn''t expect that she would be asked to exin 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 thepany 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 sry, " 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 te 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 exnation.
"Okay. I have a friend who works at the X shopping mall. I will ask him to check Mr. Zhang''s te
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''te to work.
So, Rachel came back to the Team A''s office. When she saw Rachele 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 exnation 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 toe 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 ept 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 nced at Celine, took a folder and said, "If I tell other people about me being Hiram''s wife, no
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 fiftypanies 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 theputer while checking the paper she held.
Then the afternoon arrived. The manager''s secretary came to tell her to drive her car to thepany.
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 mypany?"
"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 particr 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 workce 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 te 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 workce after half an hour. "Rachel, why did you ask me toe here urgently? Is
there any problem?"
Rachel asked him to park the car right in front of thepany''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 otherpany''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 te
number. He was stunned to see that the te number was ''6666''.
''Even Mr. Zhang wouldn''t be able to afford this te 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.
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-inw, 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 nced at Carl and said, "What did
you just call her? Sister-inw? She is your brother''s..."
Everyone in thepany knew that Rachel was still single.
Walter wondered why Carl called her sister-inw.
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 justughed out loud and proudly said, "That''s bullshit! My cousin''s surname is not Zhang. It''s
Rong."
