Chapter 1793

"I drank a bit too much, and after that, I wasn't very clear on things either." Lin Dafa said this without daring to look at his daughter-in-law Zhang Hui's expression. He felt it necessary to clarify things with her and dispel the rift that had formed between them due to last night's **. He gathered his courage, feigned a serious tone, and said to Zhang Hui, "Huihui, come with me to the study; let's discuss some company matters." Then, he turned his head to his wife and said, "I'm going to the study with Huihui to talk about some company business; don't come and disturb us."

As he spoke, Lin Dafa stood up and walked toward the study. After a moment, Zhang Hui smiled at her mother-in-law and also stood up to walk toward the study.

After entering the study, Lin Dafa stood by the window with his back to Zhang Hui. Hearing her enter, he turned around, looked at his equally embarrassed and blushing daughter-in-law with an extremely awkward expression, and said, "Huihui, last night…"

"Nothing happened last night!" Zhang Hui always felt that as soon as Lin Dafa opened his mouth, he would ask for details about last night, so she hurriedly interrupted him, rushing to speak.

"Don't be anxious, listen to me." Lin Dafa said awkwardly, then continued, "When Director Zheng and Deputy Director He left last night, did you give them the things?"

So he was asking about this. Zhang Hui finally relaxed a little, nodded, and said, "I gave it to them."

"That's good. As long as they've accepted our favors, Director Zheng will surely handle it." Lin Dafa also let out a sigh of relief, thinking to himself with a smug plan.

Because of what happened last night, being alone in the study with her father-in-law Lin Dafa made Zhang Hui feel the atmosphere was very awkward and uneasy, so she said, "Father-in-law, if there's nothing else, I'll head out first." As she spoke, she prepared to leave.

In fact, the previous question was just an opening. Seeing his daughter-in-law about to leave, Lin Dafa hurriedly took a step forward in his anxiety, grabbed her wrist, and said, "Wait."

When Zhang Hui's wrist was suddenly grabbed by Lin Dafa, her little heart pounded like a deer in a cage. Blushing, she whispered, "Father-in-law, don't…"

Lin Dafa realized his behavior was a bit rash, so he quickly let go of her wrist with a 'whoosh', pulled his hand back, and felt awkwardly at a loss. Zhang Hui, however, stood in place, no longer in a hurry to leave.

Slightly calming his awkward and uneasy mood, Lin Dafa took a deep breath and said earnestly, "Huihui, last night… last night I was drunk… I… I'm sorry to you…"

"Father-in-law, say no more…" Zhang Hui hurriedly stopped him in a panic.

Lin Dafa paused for a moment, then continued heavily, "Huihui, you are my daughter-in-law, and what we did was… was **. If it were… were known by others, they would laugh their heads off, and it must not be known by your mother-in-law. So… so in the future, when we are together, you must not be as nervous as you were just now; it won't be good if someone notices."

Zhang Hui nodded, blushing, and stammered, "Father-in-law, I… I know. I… I was also because I haven't seen Jianyang for too long… that I… I was just… just a bit like that for a moment…"

Lin Dafa nodded awkwardly, indicating he understood, and stammered, "I know. You are a married woman, my daughter-in-law, and with your man not by your side, you must… must be a bit like that. I will try my best to find a way to transfer Jianyang to Xijing… Let's just treat what happened last night as if nothing happened, okay?"

"Mm." Zhang Hui nodded, though her mind was filled with the scene of her father-in-law Lin Dafa lying on top of her, riding hard last night. It could be said that last night was the only time since she married Lin Jianyang that she felt happy to the point of losing herself.

At this moment, the study door was suddenly pushed open by Lin Dafa's wife. Seeing his wife standing at the door, before she could even speak, Lin Dafa angrily questioned her, "Didn't I say I was discussing company matters with Huihui and not to disturb us!"

His wife waved Lin Dafa's mobile phone in her hand and explained, "A call, someone is calling for you!"

Only then did Lin Dafa glance at her, take the phone from her hand, and see the name of Zheng Tulu displayed on it.

It turned out that when Zheng Tulu woke up in the morning, finished washing up, and was about to go to work after breakfast, he suddenly saw a kraft paper bag on the coffee table. Curious, he walked up and opened it, only to see stacks of '**' inside. He turned to his wife Ma Li, who was clearing the table, and asked, "Did you accept someone's things again while I wasn't home?"

"I… I didn't." Ma Lili shook her head, bewildered.

"Then who brought this?" Zheng Tulu asked, his face stern, as he picked up the kraft paper bag and held it toward Ma Lili.

"Oh, this was brought by the driver sent by Boss Lao Zhang of Beichen Real Estate when he sent you back last night because you were drunk. He said it was for you from President Lin. I didn't look at it, what is it?" Ma Lili said, walking over to open it. Seeing the stacks of '**', she asked knowingly, "Are they trying to ask you to handle something again?"

Zheng Tulu thought for a moment, then said, "You wouldn't understand even if I told you. Put it in the safe quickly, I'm going to work." With that, he opened the door and walked out.

After arriving at the unit, Zheng Tulu first went to He Liping's office. She had just arrived and was pouring a glass of water when she saw Zheng Tulu walk in. She asked him gently, "Lao Zheng, you drank so much last night, are you okay today?"

"Liping, did you receive a kraft paper bag?" Zheng Tulu asked, ignoring her question. He spoke very tactfully, fearing that if He Liping hadn't received any benefits while he had, it wouldn't be good for her to know.

Hearing Zheng Tulu ask this, He Liping understood that Zheng Tulu must have received it too, so she nodded and said, "I received it."

"Now that we've taken Lao Lin's benefits, it would be unreasonable not to do things for him. This matter is really hard to handle." Zheng Tulu's head was a bit muddled. He had now accepted benefits from both Ma Lan and Lin Dafa, but it was said that the land area released by the government for cooperative development this time was not large, and usually, only one developer would be chosen for cooperation. This made Zheng Tulu feel caught in the middle.

He Liping 'reluctantly parted with her love' and said, "Lao Zheng, why don't we return the benefits from either Ma Lan or Lin Dafa, and only keep one person's? What do you think?"

"Ma Lan's definitely cannot be returned; we accepted that at the dinner table ourselves. Besides, she was introduced by Director Liu of the Municipal Committee. If we return it, we wouldn't be giving Director Liu enough face." Zheng Tulu said without hesitation. Of course, the old guy still had a bit of selfishness in helping Ma Lan.

"Then should we just return Lin Dafa's?" He Liping asked, seeking his opinion.

Zheng Tulu thought for a moment, but ultimately shook his head in opposition, "It's already in our hands. Besides, Lao Lin and we haven't known each other for just one day. If we return it, we won't just offend Lao Lin, but also Lao Zhang."

"Then we've accepted both people's, so Lao Zheng, what do you say we should do?" He Liping asked, somewhat puzzled.

Zheng Tulu said, "My head is big now too. Let's wait and see the government's documents when they come out. Whoever's favor is easier to help, we'll help them." With that, Zheng Tulu walked out of He Liping's office, returned to his own office, put down his briefcase, pulled open his boss chair, and sat down. He thought for a while, then picked up his phone and dialed Lin Dafa, thinking that since he had gone to such great lengths to deliver the benefits, out of human decency, he should at least say a word.

As soon as the call connected, Lin Dafa's fawning voice came through. He chuckled while speaking respectfully, "Director Zheng, so early."

"You, Lao Lin, don't have to go to work, so of course it's early, but I'm not early; I'm already at work." Zheng Tulu said in a joking tone.

Lin Dafa chuckled and said, "Does Director Zheng have any instructions for calling?" Although he asked this, Lin Dafa understood the intention behind Zheng Tulu's call quite well.

"Lao Lin, I drank too much last night, and when I woke up this morning, I found some extra things at home. Why are you doing this?" Zheng Tulu said straightforwardly in a relaxed tone.

"Director Zheng, don't misunderstand. It doesn't mean anything. It's just that I haven't seen you for a long time, so consider it a small token of my respect. It doesn't mean anything else." Lin Dafa explained with a fawning laugh.
