"I'm annoyed," Qiu Xinyi said.
"Why? Is work not going well?" Chief Qiu poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Qiu Xinyi, sitting down as if ready to have a sincere conversation with her. "You haven't been doing well recently. I've heard people in the troop saying that you are taking advantage of being the chief's daughter to get special treatment!"
"It must be Tan Xiaomei who said that," Qiu Xinyi replied dismissively. "She's just jealous that I have a father who's a chief! That's why she finds fault with me everywhere."
"Surely there are aspects of your performance that aren't good."
"That's not true." Qiu Xinyi, irritated and uninterested in discussing work, abruptly changed the topic. "Dad, when is your surgery? You've been considering it for so long. If it doesn't work out, you should just go ahead and have the surgery to remove it!"
