Chapter 1612
After waiting for about two hours, Zhao Desan returned with a flushed face and a lowered head. Before Zhao Desan could open his mouth to explain the situation, the hope in Zheng Jie's heart had already been shattered. She didn't say anything, just stood up silently, picked up her bag, and prepared to leave.
Jia Wanli and Zhao Desan looked at each other. Looking at Zheng Jie's disappointed and helpless appearance, he felt a heart-wrenching pain. It was all his own uselessness. Yesterday he had made a grand promise with full confidence, and today he let her down. Sigh, this was also a result Zhao Desan didn't want to see, but after all, he was just a small Deputy Division Chief, and the affairs of the unit were managed by the adulterous couple Zheng Tulu and He Liping. Everything talked about power; whoever has power can decide everything.
Zhao Desan just went to find Zheng Tulu, originally wanting the old guy to sell him a favor, saying that Zheng Jie was someone he saw as pitiful, reflected the situation, and let her come to the Construction Committee. It had been less than a month, and she was cut off. Wasn't it not very good? Could he wait a while? But he didn't expect that Zheng Tulu, this old fox, not only didn't give him face, but also said sarcastically, "Xiao Zhao, the leaders have their own views on Zheng Jie's matter. Don't meddle in this matter, just do your own work well first. Besides, you should also go find Deputy Director He for this matter. This is her idea. You are very enthusiastic about Zheng Jie's matter."
Zhao Desan was ridiculed by this old bald donkey, and it was a thief crying 'stop thief', meaning it seemed that he had taken a fancy to Zheng Jie and wanted to use this method to achieve his personal purpose. Zhao Desan almost told the facts that he wanted to take Zheng Jie by using his personal power. But thinking about it, there was no need, even if he said it, he could deny it.
Coming out of Zheng Tulu's office, Zhao Desan went directly to knock on He Liping's office door, walked in, and stated his intention straightforwardly, wanting He Liping to give him a reasonable explanation. After listening to Zhao Desan's words, He Liping just gave a 'humph' and said in a very disdainful tone, "Deputy Division Chief Liu, being able to let Zheng Jie come to the unit to work was entirely out of sympathy for her family's encounter. But this Zheng Jie is not a woman who keeps her place. She hasn't been working for a few days, and she has actually seduced the male comrades in the unit several times. Can such a woman still be in the unit!"
He Liping's statement was very different from Zheng Jie's statement. At this time, Zhao Desan naturally believed Zheng Jie's statement as the victim, because he also understood that Zheng Jie would never take the initiative to offer herself to him unless she was under pressure from Zheng Tulu. So, he gave a 'humph' to He Liping's one-sided words and said coldly, "Sister He, I'm afraid you are afraid that Zheng Jie will snatch Director Zheng and make you lose favor? If it weren't for Director Zheng putting pressure on her, she would never have done such a thing!"
Facing Zhao Desan's statement, He Liping glared at him with horizontal eyebrows and angry eyes, then sneered and said, "Xiao Zhao, don't be too naive. Zheng Jie is not a simple woman. If I keep her in the unit to continue working, she will threaten my position sooner or later. So, no matter what you say today, I will absolutely not let her stay!" He Liping's attitude was very firm, as if she would not stop until Zheng Jie was fired.
After negotiating with He Liping's sophistry for more than an hour, Zhao Desan still couldn't move her heart. He knew that the key to firing Zheng Jie was He Liping. Zheng Tulu's side was certainly an indifferent attitude, but now He Liping's attitude was so firm that even nine cows couldn't pull it back. No matter how Zhao Desan tried to coax her, he couldn't make her soften her heart. There was really no way, he could only return without success.
Depressed, Zhao Desan was extremely depressed. Seeing Zheng Jie walking toward the door with messy steps, he didn't know why, but he stepped forward and snatched the bag from her hand, whispering, "Sister-in-law, let me see you off."
Zheng Jie smiled very reluctantly, then took her bag from Zhao Desan's hand and said, "I don't blame you, really don't blame you. I accept your kindness, and I will always remember your goodness." Saying this, Zheng Jie realized Jia Wanli was watching, so she hurriedly added, "I will always remember your kindness. You have helped our family a lot, you are a great person." After saying this, she turned and walked out.
Zhao Desan followed Zheng Jie's back mechanically, neither taking the bag nor speaking, just following silently. Zheng Jie turned back to look at him, and he said expressionlessly, "Sister-in-law, let's go, just let me see you home, your home is not very far from the unit."
"Better not, it will affect your work," Zheng Jie declined politely. Actually, her main thought was that she didn't want Zhao Desan to see her so disappointed and helpless.
Zhao Desan felt as if he owed Zheng Jie something, always feeling that he had made a grand promise but failed to keep her, making her disappointed, so he insisted on seeing her off. Helplessly, Zheng Jie had to acquiesce...
Zheng Jie's home was not too far from the unit. This time they didn't take a car, but walked. After walking for more than half an hour, they arrived. After turning around a row of high-rise buildings, the two old-fashioned buildings with not very large areas where Zheng Jie lived appeared in front of them. Zheng Jie walked in quickly, and Zhao Desan followed closely behind, arriving at the door on the fourth floor familiarly.
After following Zheng Jie into the house, perhaps because the room was in the shade, the damp, moldy smell drifted into Zhao Desan's nostrils, and he couldn't help but frown.
Zhao Desan followed Zheng Jie lightly, looked into the room from the side, and saw Nini serving Zhao Da a glass of water.
Seeing Zhao Desan looking into the room in a daze, Zheng Jie also looked into the room. Seeing the scene she was already accustomed to, but because she had lost a job she cared about, tears mixed with past grievances and pain suddenly erupted from Zheng Jie's heart. She threw herself on the round table without any cover and burst into tears.
Looking at this broken family, looking at Zheng Jie who was crying into a tearful person, and glancing at Zhao Da who was barely supporting half of his body on the bed, Zhao Desan clenched his fists. He shouted loudly in the depths of his heart: "I just don't believe in this evil, I want to make a desperate counterattack and give her justice!"
Zhao Desan walked out of Zheng Jie's house with the heaviest mood in history. He really didn't expect, and he probably couldn't expect, that there were still families struggling so hard for survival. The burden of a family fell entirely on a woman's shoulders. How difficult this was, he couldn't imagine. Zheng Jie was such a strong woman, and she had persisted until now.
On this day, Zhao Desan didn't go to work either. He found a coffee shop, sat alone, and thought about Zheng Jie's matter. Fortunately, no one called him to go back to work. It wasn't until after work hours that he left the coffee shop. Zhao Desan didn't know how he got home. Along the way, his mind was always considering one question: how could he achieve his desperate counterattack? Could it be that he just relied on working hard, gradually gaining the trust of Zheng Tulu and He Liping, and then speaking well for Zheng Jie, letting her come back to work in the unit? In that case, perhaps before he could make it, he would be stabbed in the back by these snobbish villains. Thinking and thinking, a strange idea suddenly popped into Zhao Desan's heart...
As soon as Zhao Desan pushed the door open, Su Qing came up and pulled him to sit on the sofa. Such an intimate action made Zhao Desan a bit confused, so he asked, "Sister Su, what's wrong? You look in a very good mood today?"
Su Qing said mysteriously, "Desan, you sit down first, sister has something to tell you."
"What is it, can you let me eat a bite before saying it? I'm starving to death." Zhao Desan had been sitting outside all afternoon and hadn't eaten lunch. At this moment, his stomach was already growling. Seeing the food on the dining table, he begged Su Qing.
"No, sister has been waiting for you for a long time, why are you back so late today!" Su Qing said stubbornly.
"Alright, alright, then listen to what our Sister Su has to say first. I can only apologize to my stomach first." Zhao Desan didn't answer Su Qing's question directly.
"That... that..." Su Qing hesitated. After saying 'that' for a long time, she didn't say anything serious, but her several 'that's' made Zhao Desan feel very intimate.
"What 'that', Sister Su, do you have anything to say? If not, I'll go eat first." Zhao Desan used the provocation method.
"That, I... my gynecological disease is cured." Su Qing finally said her matter with a shy smile, but it stunned Zhao Desan, who was joking.
"Cured? How is it cured?" Zhao Desan asked with surprise. In his view, gynecological diseases in a 50-year-old woman were very normal, and it didn't matter whether they were cured or not. However, if it was too serious, it would affect his appetite when he was entangled with her, because when Su Qing didn't accept traditional Chinese medicine treatment, she also went to see Western medicine, but was taken advantage of by a rogue doctor, and the effect was not good. That place would flow out some secretions that looked disgusting all day long, and sometimes when rolling on the bed, a lot would flow out, seriously affecting Zhao Desan's passion.
"You eat first, I'll show you after you finish eating." Su Qing played mystery, and then urged Zhao Desan to eat.
Zhao Desan looked at Su Qing with a mischievous smile. Because his stomach was really hungry, he couldn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly went to the dining table, sat down, picked up a bowl of rice, and while eating vegetables, lowered his head and shoveled rice into his mouth in big mouthfuls, eating ravenously.
When Zhao Desan ate three bowls of rice in a row, was full, burped a few times, got up from the dining table, turned around and walked toward the living room, he saw Su Qing, who didn't know when she had taken a bath, changed into a pink silk suspender nightgown, and was curled up on the sofa, eating grapes while watching TV seriously. This looked exactly like a housewife. But she was indeed the Minister of the Organization Department of the Hexi Provincial Party Committee. It seems that women have a common side! Zhao Desan thought while walking forward.
