Chapter 1940

Wuzi yawned and said in a tired tone, "Brother Liu, you don't know, I specifically invited Big Wild Ox and the others to dinner last night and drank some wine, but this brat seems to still have some guard against me. Although I can invite him to dinner now, it's far from the point of being brothers. Brother Liu, give me some more time, let me put in more effort. It won't be long before I help you find out Li Fang's background clearly."

"You brat, you just eat and drink all day long. I'm telling you, that's all the money there is. If you spend it all and haven't finished the job, you'll have to find a way to make up for the rest yourself. I don't have that much money to let you revel every night!" Zhao Desan warned.

Wuzi was a bit unhappy about this. He rubbed his eyes, climbed out of bed, picked up his phone, and raised his voice, saying, "Brother Liu, I, your brother, promised you that I would definitely help you get it done. But I didn't know Big Wild Ox would be so distrustful. It won't take many more times, and I estimate Big Wild Ox will drop his guard against me. I don't know if the money will run out early. If it runs out early and you say the matter is about to be done, wouldn't it stop if there's no money? I, your brother, help you drink and risk my life all day long, but Brother, isn't your money being spent too unjustly?"

"So your point is that the money isn't enough? You, your grandmother, aren't you trying to blackmail me?" Zhao Desan asked.

Wuzi grinned and said, "Brother, where did you get that idea? I, Wuzi, am also someone who mixes in the underworld. I value loyalty. Since you are my brother, I am your brother. I, Wuzi, wouldn't blackmail you, Brother, even if I blackmailed anyone else! I'm just giving you a heads-up in advance. Maybe the matter will be done and the money won't be spent yet. This is hard to say."

Hearing Wuzi say this, Zhao Desan felt a little more at ease. If this brat really took the money and couldn't get the job done, it would be too uneconomical! So, Zhao Desan softened his tone and said to him, "Then hurry up and get Big Wild Ox settled, find out from his mouth what Li Fang's background is, and contact me when there's news, you hear?"

"Got it, got it. Anything else, Brother?" Wuzi asked.

"What? You want to hang up?" Zhao Desan asked back.

"Brother, you don't know, I drank with Big Wild Ox until past three last night. I originally wanted to get that brat drunk to get information out of him, but who knew that Big Wild Ox, his grandmother, has a really good tolerance for alcohol. He didn't get drunk, but he almost knocked me out. Brother, if you have nothing else, let me sleep a bit more. I still have to go do things for you when I get up," Wuzi complained.

"Fine, fine, fine, then sleep!" Zhao Desan hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Zhao Desan thought to himself if he was being a bit over-anxious. He had already done the deed with Li Fang, was there any need to find out her background? And judging from her speech, behavior, and actions in bed, it was certain that this young woman was a rural young woman. Although she was quite beautiful and had a good figure, and her speech and behavior had the straightforwardness of a rural person, she didn't pay much attention to hygiene in bed. If she were a city person, she should pay great attention to personal hygiene. So Zhao Desan concluded that she was a rural young woman who came to the city to be a migrant worker or to cook for migrant workers. This all made sense. If so, wasn't he being a bit over-anxious? He had wasted ten thousand yuan to let Wuzi and a bunch of fox friends eat, drink, whore, and gamble. It was really fucking uneconomical!

He had originally wanted to work hard in the morning, but after He Liping pushed the door open and interrupted his thoughts, his mind began to wander for the whole morning, thinking about this and that. Whenever he thought of Zheng Jie, he felt annoyed, but this annoyance was only for a moment after his complete disappointment in Zheng Jie, and the flame soon went out. He was now completely disappointed in Zheng Jie. And after he calmed down and thought about it carefully, Zheng Jie was originally a woman with a husband. If she could wear a green hat for her husband Zhao Da, she could also wear one for him. All women who betray their husbands are fickle women. He should have been able to think of this!

The whole morning was wasted in Zhao Desan's wild thoughts. He ate at the cafeteria at noon. After going to work in the afternoon, because he was full of his own thoughts, Zhao Desan had almost forgotten about Du Xiaochan's matter. He prepared to seize the afternoon time to straighten out the work he had fallen behind on while studying in Beijing. Originally, Zhao Desan thought that when he returned, this deputy section chief position might already be in name only, having been occupied by Jia Wanli. Unexpectedly, Jia Wanli happened to have a tumor removal surgery at this time and was hospitalized, leaving a pile of work. Recently, he had also been busy with the wage-collection matter and hadn't cleared these tasks, so he planned to spend the afternoon making up for them.

"Grandpa, your grandson is calling you..." Just at this moment, the funny ringtone of the mobile phone Zhao Desan placed on the table rang. Zhao Desan, who was working seriously, suddenly heard this funny ringtone and couldn't help but burst into laughter. While laughing, he picked up the phone and saw the name "Director Xu" displayed on it, and immediately understood what was going on.

Zhao Desan answered the phone and said politely, "Hello, Director Xu, what made you think of me, brother?"

"Brother Liu, do you remember what I said when we were drinking last night?" Xu Min asked with a smile on the phone.

"We said too many things when we were drinking last night. Which one is Director Xu talking about?" Zhao Desan asked, knowing the answer. Perhaps he felt a bit dissatisfied that Du Xiaochan's first time had been taken by this guy, so he wanted to deliberately make things difficult for him.

"Brother Liu, you really have a short memory. It's about Xiao Du's job," Xu Min reminded him with a smile.

"Oh, I remember now," Zhao Desan said, suddenly realizing.

"If it's convenient for you, Brother Liu, please hurry up and handle it for Xiao Du," Xu Min requested.

"You don't need to tell me that, Director Xu, I will definitely handle it," Zhao Desan said with a smile, thinking to himself that if it weren't for the fact that Du Xiaochan was someone he knew, he really wouldn't want to handle this matter! Damn it, the tender flower that I had been coveting but couldn't bear to pick was picked by you!

"Then I'll thank you in advance, Brother Liu," Director Xu said with a hearty laugh.

"Director Xu is too polite. We are who we are." Although he was a bit dissatisfied with Xu Min's actions, considering that this guy had also made an enemy of Zheng the Eunuch, Zhao Desan still spoke very politely. After all, Xu Min could now be considered to be in the same boat as him, and there might be a time when he would be useful.

"Brother Liu recognizing me, Xu Min, I am truly flattered," Xu Min also said in official jargon, being extremely eloquent.

"I, Zhao Desan, am always accurate in recognizing people. If I have anything in the future, as long as Director Xu is willing to stand up and help your brother, that will do," Zhao Desan gave Xu Min a heads-up in advance.

Xu Min said without hesitation, "Definitely, definitely. As long as I, Xu Min, can help you, Brother Liu, in the future, just say it."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries. After hanging up the phone, Zhao Desan smoked a cigarette and sent a text message to Xia Jian's wife, Afang, asking if she was at the hospital.
