Chapter 507: Zeng Jing's Colleague

~7 min read 1,330 words

Zeng Jing lived in an old residential area near the women's prison in Xingcheng. According to the information provided by Chen Bing, the apartment was shared with a female colleague.

Letting Wang Haibo get beaten outside the women's prison, I estimate that Zeng Jing's beating won't be satisfying. Years of repressed emotions, if not fully released, will definitely leave aftereffects.

Chen Yang thought it over repeatedly and decided to set their meeting place downstairs of Zeng Jing's rented apartment.

When passing by the cinema, Chen Yang deliberately got out of the car to buy a can of popcorn.

"Boss Chen, why are you buying popcorn? Zeng Jing doesn't eat it!" Wang Haibo looked at Chen Yang with a bit of curiosity.

"I'll eat it." Chen Yang replied casually, and put the popcorn on the back seat.

Hearing that, Wang Haibo's gaze at Chen Yang became even stranger. He couldn't understand how the richest person in Dongjiang Province would actually like eating popcorn!

However, Chen Yang ignored him. After arriving downstairs of Zeng Jing's rented apartment, he had Wang Haibo get out of the car to wait at the stairwell entrance for Zeng Jing to get off work.

Then, he ate popcorn while waiting for the female lead to appear.

About ten minutes later, Zeng Jing and a woman roughly her age arrived downstairs on a motorcycle.

After seeing Wang Haibo, Zeng Jing's colleague sensibly left first.

However, Chen Yang soon noticed her secretly peeking out from the apartment's balcony.

Zeng Jing and Wang Haibo stared at each other for a full five minutes, neither speaking.

Even Chen Yang, sitting in the car watching the spectacle, couldn't help wanting to curse. He quickly sent Wang Haibo a message saying "Love should be spoken out loud."

After seeing Chen Yang's message, Wang Haibo finally spoke,

However, as soon as he said a sentence, Zeng Jing snatched his phone.

After reading the message on the phone, Zeng Jing's emotions erupted completely; she grabbed Wang Haibo and began beating him violently.

Chen Yang originally thought Wang Haibo would beg for mercy, but unexpectedly this ninja endured Zeng Jing's blows without making a sound.

In the end, the beaten Wang Haibo didn't cry, while the one doing the beating, Zeng Jing, cried instead.

As soon as she cried, the wooden-man Wang Haibo finally began to speak.

Because his voice was very low, Chen Yang, far away, couldn't hear the content at all.

However, after they communicated for a while, Zeng Jing suddenly rushed toward where Chen Yang had parked.

This is a residential area for families, with only one passage. For Chen Yang to drive away, he must pass by downstairs of Zeng Jing's rented apartment.

Since there's no way to avoid it, Chen Yang could only open the car window and quietly await the storm.

"Chen Yang, are you sick? Do you think calling that wooden man over will make me treat Yexin well? You're dreaming!"

Chen Yang smiled and said, "Sister Jing, you've obviously been waiting for Wang Haibo all along. How come I gave him a push and you're unhappy instead? Could it be that the person you're waiting for isn't him?"

At that moment, the disheveled Wang Haibo also came over. Hearing Chen Yang's words, his expression became hesitant.

Seeing this, Zeng Jing glared at Chen Yang fiercely and snorted coldly, "This is between me and Haibo; it doesn't need your interference!"

"Then I'm leaving!" Chen Yang said and without hesitation pressed the accelerator.

Wang Haibo didn't expect Zeng Jing to redirect her anger toward Chen Yang, and with an apologetic face said, "Boss Chen, sorry for causing you trouble."

"It's fine, you can take a taxi back later." Chen Yang's original intention was to reduce Zeng Jing's hatred toward Yexin a bit, but seeing that the effect didn't meet expectations, he could only choose to retreat first.

However, just as the car passed the entrance of Zeng Jing's rented apartment, a figure suddenly rushed out. This scared Chen Yang, who had a traffic accident trauma, into a cold sweat.

Only after he could see clearly who was blocking the road did he realize it was Zeng Jing's female colleague.

"Beautiful lady, you're walking so fast, aren't you afraid of something happening?"

"Manager Chen, sorry, I scared you." Zeng Jing's colleague apologetically said to Chen Yang, "I have something I want to discuss with you, but I don't have your contact information, so I resorted to this."

Chen Yang took a deep breath, trying to suppress his anger, then asked the other party, "May I ask what you have to discuss?"

Zeng Jing's colleague looked around, then whispered to Chen Yang, "This matter isn't suitable for outsiders to hear; can we talk at my place?"

At that moment, Zeng Jing and Wang Haibo also ran over quickly, and seeing that there was no car accident, both breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Yang pointed at Zeng Jing and said to her colleague, "If I go to your place, will she be angry?"

Zeng Jing's colleague immediately replied, "I have half the residency rights to that apartment. If she disagrees, we can talk in my room."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zeng Jing exploded: "Ma Haiyan, are you crazy? A single woman sharing a room with a married man—does your boyfriend know? Aren't you anxious?"

Ma Haiyan replied dismissively, "I'm just discussing private matters with Manager Chen, and I'm not doing anything shameful—what's there to fear?"

Zeng Jing snorted coldly, "Ma Haiyan, do you think I don't know what's on your mind? I tell you, I disagree!"

Ma Haiyan stuck out her tongue, laughing, "Zeng Jing, your disagreement doesn't matter. As long as Manager Chen agrees, it's fine." After saying that, she urged Chen Yang to go park.

After hearing the conversation between Ma Haiyan and Zeng Jing, Chen Yang immediately understood their intention.

To be honest, this was a result he was very happy with.

Whether Zeng Jing helps him look after Yexin or Ma Haiyan agrees, it's the same.

After Chen Yang parked the car, under Zeng Jing's angry glare, he followed Ma Haiyan into their home.

What was unexpected was that the house was very tidy, not at all like the lifestyle of two single women.

And after Ma Haiyan got home, her courage grew a lot; she directly got to the point with Chen Yang: "Manager Chen, if I'm willing to help you look after General Manager Ye, can you give me the half-price housing quota for Dongjiang New City?"

Chen Yang readily replied, "As long as you can take good care of General Manager Ye, I will definitely honor the promise."

"Chen Yang, this is bribing a state official—do you believe I'll report you?" Seeing Chen Yang so easily bribe his colleague, Zeng Jing's emotions flared up instantly.

Chen Yang wasn't afraid of her threats, calmly saying, "Sister Jing, you don't need to get so worked up. First, I'm just having Officer Ma look after General Manager Ye within her professional duties, without asking her to violate any principles."

"Second, the half-price housing quota for Dongjiang New City was originally a benefit I give to company employees and friends. Not only Officer Ma, I've given quotas to many friends working in government departments. Do you really think all those people took my bribes?"

Zeng Jing sneered, "Chen Yang, you're such a big philanthropist! Giving such a big benefit on our first meeting—do you think the prosecutors would believe it?"

"No problem!" Chen Yang, unafraid, laughed, "The houses in Dongjiang New City will take a long time to be built; I can slowly cultivate friendship with Officer Ma."

After saying that, he turned to Ma Haiyan and said, "Officer Ma, are you willing to be friends with me?"

"Willing, very willing!" Ma Haiyan enthusiastically shook hands with Chen Yang.

Zeng Jing watched, grinding her teeth in anger. After Chen Yang left, she gave Wang Haibo another beating.
