Chapter 1688: Ruining Relationships?

"Hehe, you don't need to say it, I already know. I didn't misjudge you, you did quite well." Zheng Tulu praised.

"Oh, thank you, Director, for the praise, but... but..." Zhao Desan was startled at first, but after all, the old guy was the head of the construction committee, so it was reasonable for him to know the result so quickly.

"Xiao Zhao, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't always be hesitant." Zheng Tulu stopped Zhao Desan's words.

"It's nothing major, it's just that this kid Xia Jian is a bit unbalanced. And from my interaction with him, it seems he intends to shout it out, as if he wants to make a 'fish dies, net breaks' situation." Zhao Desan once again used his bluffing skills on the old guy.

"What? You mean about the assessment list? He dares? Is he really tired of living?" Zheng Tulu said very unhappily, but secretly laughed in his heart. It seems he really did stir up the relationship between Xia Jian and that stinking kid Zhao Desan.

"Yes, yes, I also feel this kid is a bit overestimating himself, but..." Zhao Desan paused again and continued: "Director, I think we should still try to settle things peacefully. What he told me about his wife and you, Director, I think it is extremely unfavorable to you. Once it is made public, his influence doesn't matter, but if it affects your career and reputation because of this small matter, it wouldn't be worth it."

"..." There was dead silence on the other end of the phone.

"Director Zheng?" Zhao Desan urged.

"Damn grandson, I saw long ago that this kid is not a good thing. Daring to expose my bottom line, just wait and see. This time I'll let him off easy. Even if he is rated as excellent, he won't be able to escape my palm." Zheng Tulu finally shouted angrily on the other end of the phone.

"Oh, yes, I understand what you mean, Director. Then I won't delay your time. I will handle the rest of the matters. Director, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up first." Zhao Desan understood Zheng Tulu's meaning. Since he had achieved the effect he wanted, there was no need to talk nonsense.

Heh heh... wanting to make me ruin relationships with everyone, I'll splash a basin of shit on your face first!

Because of nervousness, Zhao Desan put down the phone and touched his forehead; sweat had seeped out. After all, he had taken the risk of being exposed by bluffing the old guy this time. He also knew that although the old guy was the head of the construction committee, he was unwilling to offend anyone in the unit and basically belonged to the type of person who was slick and smooth. If things went wrong, he might find out the true purpose of his behavior.

Should he call that kid Xia Jian? Zhao Desan sat at his desk pondering his next move. Should he let him bring his little wife Afang to see him tonight? But what reason would he have to let him bring his wife to see him? Zhao Desan was having a daydream in his office when the office door was pushed open again, giving him another fright.

The person who entered was none other than Xia Jian. Zhao Desan said unhappily: "Why didn't you knock on the door first and just came in directly? You gave me a fright."

"Oh, sorry, sorry, I was in a hurry for a moment and forgot, forgot!" Xia Jian nodded, apologizing.

"Why are you here again?" Although Zhao Desan knew Xia Jian would definitely come back, he still asked a question he knew the answer to.

"Thanks to your guidance, brother, I've figured it out. I've also opened my mind. For the sake of my future, I have to pay a price. So, so I came to discuss with you, is it..." Xia Jian said this, mysteriously leaning his head to Zhao Desan's ear...

Seeing Xia Jian's mysterious appearance, Zhao Desan pondered that it must have something to do with his wife, and his heart couldn't help but beat wildly. He wanted to hear it and didn't want to hear it, but regardless of whether he wanted to hear it or not, Xia Jian had already whispered in his ear: "I've taken out all the private savings I've accumulated over these years. You just look after it and help me handle it with the director. I don't know if this is enough." As he spoke, Xia Jian took an envelope out of his pocket and placed it on Zhao Desan's desk.

Hearing Xia Jian's words and seeing his actions, Zhao Desan felt both disappointed and sad. He looked at the envelope Xia Jian placed on the desk and didn't speak for a long time. Xia Jian thought he felt it was too little, so he immediately said: "If this is not enough, I will go home immediately and ask your sister-in-law for more. What do you think?"

A moment of disappointment made Zhao Desan lose his focus, but he immediately recovered, looked at Xia Jian, and said: "Actually, what is more or less? As long as you have this heart, I think the director will be happy." While talking to Xia Jian, he thought, isn't this just someone sending charcoal in the snow when he is most short of money? Haha, heaven never blocks one's path!

Zhao Desan, with a little excitement, looked up at Xia Jian. Seeing his pitiful appearance like a pug, he couldn't help but feel a sense of taking advantage of someone's precarious position. Is it a bit unrighteous to squeeze someone when they are in trouble? Thinking of this, he reached out toward the envelope on the desk, wanting to let Xia Jian take the money back. After all, he had already taught him a lesson, and killing someone doesn't mean cutting off their head.

However, as soon as his hand touched the envelope, he immediately thought: Since this is private money, it probably wasn't obtained honestly, maybe it was obtained through work convenience. I happen to be in urgent need of money, so I might as well borrow it from him to tide over the emergency, and return it to him when I have the chance. Otherwise, when will the problem at Zheng Jie's side be solved? Maybe before the problem is solved, something will happen at her home.

But Zhao Desan had already instinctively picked up the envelope and made a gesture to hand it to Xia Jian. It wouldn't be appropriate to take it back now, so he laughed and handed the envelope to Xia Jian, saying: "I think you should go and send it to the director yourself. It's not like you aren't familiar with him."

Seeing Zhao Desan hand the envelope back, Xia Jian nervously declined: "No, no, you should help me, Little Brother Liu. I entrust everything to you. As for how you operate, I have no opinion. I'll let you worry about it." After speaking, he placed the envelope on the desk again and turned to flee the office.

Looking at Xia Jian's wretched back, Zhao Desan couldn't help but feel he was very, very pitiful. This truly fits the saying 'A pitiful person must have something hateful!'

Since he had the capital and Zheng Tulu had been settled, Zhao Desan immediately took action and began to look for a suitable house. With money, houses were readily available. In less than an afternoon, Zhao Desan selected a residential area with a relatively good environment and made an appointment with Zheng Jie to take her to see the house. Zheng Jie was very satisfied with the house, but was worried that the rent was too expensive.

A week later, Zhao Desan successfully rented the house and had already moved Zheng Jie and her daughter to this house, which was far better in condition and environment than where she originally lived. Thus, the two lived a small life like 'husband and wife', and Zhao Desan came to stay every few days.

Generally speaking, a man can do anything for the woman he loves. Zhao Desan really went all out. He didn't hesitate to risk being dismissed by Zheng Tulu and got a sum of money from Xia Jian. However, the old guy also saw the effect he wanted to see, which was that after Zhao Desan was put in charge of the excellent employee assessment work, he inadvertently offended many colleagues in the unit.

Zhao Desan has been mixing smoothly recently. Besides the fact that the old guy regarded him as his 'confidant' and reused him for some reasons and concerns, there was a beautiful wife he loved in the rented house to accompany him. It was so cool that Zhao Desan could laugh out loud even in his dreams. Moreover, Zheng Jie seemed to understand Zhao Desan's heart very well, treating him completely as a husband, not only knowing cold and heat, but also being gentle in bed, making Zhao Desan enjoy it tirelessly. He had even forgotten about the other beauties, deeply immersed in Zheng Jie's gentle hometown...

As the saying goes, 'People follow luck, horses follow darts!' Zhao Desan might have had a turn of luck. Just as he was in high spirits, he welcomed another big good thing: Zheng Tulu made an exception and sent him to Beijing for training to study the relevant work knowledge of the construction committee. The reason Zheng Tulu wanted to send him to Beijing, of course, had his own considerations. Because Zhao Desan was given great power in the excellent employee assessment work, the employees in the unit now respected Zhao Desan. The old guy naturally didn't want to see Zhao Desan become arrogant day by day. In order to consolidate his ruling position, he thought of sending him to other places for study and training, stripping his power like silk from a cocoon.

And Zhao Desan obviously didn't see the clues in this, thinking that he had been reused and valued by the old guy, and was very happy about it. It was also true that when he arrived in Beijing, he would find that this was indeed a training that would make him gain a lot. This fat job was about to become Zhao Desan's pocket thing...

This trip would take several months, and Zhao Desan couldn't help but feel a little reluctant. For Zheng Jie, the days when the two were like newlyweds had just begun, and it was inevitable that she would feel a little reluctant. The night before Zhao Desan's departure, the two inevitably had to be intimate (on the night of the departure, Zhao Desan had to take care of Su Qing's feelings and emotions, and have another night of lingering with her)...

On the morning when Zhao Desan just boarded the plane and left Xijing, Ma Lan, whom he had always longed to see again but was too embarrassed to contact actively, met with Zheng Tulu. It turned out that Ma Lan got the news from Liu Jianguo that the municipal party committee and municipal government and the provincial party committee and provincial government had already had a preliminary intention to vigorously develop the real estate business in the Chanba Development Zone. Now, major real estate companies in Xijing City were also coveting this matter for a long time, one by one opening their bloody mouths, waiting for the province and the city to throw out the fat meat of the Chanba Development Zone land development to fight for. Mastering the dynamic news of the government is directly related to one's own personal interests; this is the consensus of businessmen. The news of land development in the Chanba Development Zone is naturally the top priority that major real estate enterprises in Xijing City are most concerned about. Ma Lan's company had been on the right track for more than half a month, but had always been troubled by the lack of land for development, waiting for a good opportunity. Finally, Ma Lan received a call from Liu Jianguo, who invited her to a teahouse and showed her an internal document from the Xijing Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government on vigorously developing the Chanba Development Zone to accelerate the economic construction of Xijing City. From the document, Ma Lan learned that the idle land in the Chanba Development Zone would be used for planning and real estate development, and the matter of land sales would soon be put on the agenda by the municipal party committee and municipal government and the provincial party committee and provincial government. ===== CHAPTER 1689 =====
