Chapter 1944
"Old Lin, you really don't know what to make me say." Zheng the Eunuch felt that he had truly been valued by such a big boss, and the feeling was beyond words. He said with emotion and a smile, "I'm truly moved."
"Just a small token, Old Zheng, you don't need to take it to heart. When you finish smoking, just tell me, and I'll ask my friend to try to get some more," Lin Dafa said politely.
"Alright, since you are so thoughtful, Old Lin, then I'll accept it." Zheng the Eunuch said with a smile, picked up the cigarettes from the table, bent down, and stuffed them into the cabinet of his desk. Then, seeing Lin Dafa and Zhang Hui still standing in front of the desk, he politely greeted them, "Old Lin, Xiao Zhang, sit down. Why are you still standing?"
So Lin Dafa and his daughter-in-law, Zhang Hui, with whom he had had an affair, exchanged glances and returned to the sofa to sit down.
Being valued so much by Lin Dafa, Zheng the Eunuch was naturally very moved. But the old guy was an old hand in the world after all, and he understood very well that Lin Dafa, an old hand in business, would never value his casual remark for no reason. As the saying goes, "If you don't have anything to do, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall." He must have come with a purpose. So, Zheng the Eunuch asked with a smile, "Old Lin, you didn't just come to give me cigarettes today, right?"
Lin Dafa smiled and said, "Old Zheng, haven't we not seen each other for a while? Today, I happened to come with our Huihui to see you, Old Zheng. If you have no arrangements tonight, Old Zheng, let's have a meal together. I don't know what you think?" Lin Dafa then expressed his thoughts tactfully.
Seeing how much Lin Dafa valued him, Zheng the Eunuch thought for a while and said reluctantly, "Alright then, let's have a meal together tonight."
Because Lin Dafa had invited Zheng the Eunuch several times on the phone before, but he had always used the excuse of being busy to tactfully decline, being able to agree now at least meant it was beneficial to the Lin family. So Zheng the Eunuch appeared a bit excited and said, "Alright, Old Zheng, then should I wait for you to get off work here or?"
Zheng the Eunuch said without hesitation, "Old Lin, you go back with Xiao Zhang first. We'll contact by phone later."
Lin Dafa nodded happily and said, "Alright, Huihui and I won't disturb your work for now, Old Zheng. We'll contact by phone later. See you there."
"Alright, Old Lin, take care. I won't see you out," Zheng the Eunuch said with a smile.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lin Dafa left the Construction Committee with his daughter-in-law.
Before getting off work, Afang, in order to prevent Zheng the Eunuch from running to her house tonight and using the excuse of drinking to get Xia Jian drunk and then doing that thing with her, which would ruin the matter she had arranged with Zhao Desan this afternoon, called Zheng the Eunuch right after Lin Dafa and his daughter-in-law left Zheng the Eunuch's office.
Zheng the Eunuch had just picked up the pack of "Da Zhongjiu" that Lin Dafa had deliberately left on his desk, smiled kindly, took one out, and lit it. His mobile phone vibrated on the table. He glanced sideways and saw the name "Afang" displayed on the screen. A lustful light flashed in his eyes. He picked up the phone, pressed the answer button, put it to his ear, and said lazily, "Afang, what made you think of calling me?"
"What's wrong? Can't I call you if I miss you?" Afang said flirtatiously on the phone.
"Can, why can't you?" Zheng the Eunuch said with a grin.
"Exactly. Why haven't you come to the house to drink with our Xia Jian recently?" Afang's words were very tactful, but the meaning she wanted to express was very obvious to Zheng the Eunuch.
This bitch, she's itchy again! Zheng the Eunuch thought to himself, but he said with a smile, "Your brother here has been busy recently and doesn't have time to go to your house. Besides, if I go too often, I'm afraid Xia Jian won't feel comfortable!"
"He won't. You are his leader, how would he dare not feel comfortable?" Afang's words were very pleasant to hear.
"Do you really want your brother to go to your house?" Zheng the Eunuch asked with a grin.
Hearing the old guy say this, Afang was indeed a bit worried, but she still said with a flirtatious smile, not revealing anything, "Of course!"
"But tonight won't work. I have a social engagement tonight, and I've already promised someone. Let's do it another day, how about that?" Zheng the Eunuch said.
Afang then breathed a sigh of relief, put her heart in her stomach, held her chest, and said, "Whatever you say, just don't forget your sister."
"Definitely not. I wouldn't forget you even if I forgot everyone else," Zheng the Eunuch said with a grin.
Having probed the old guy's movements, Afang then used the excuse, "Brother, I have something to do here, so I won't talk to you anymore. I'll accompany you well when you come another day. I'm hanging up now!"
After hanging up the phone, Afang smiled with a relaxed expression. She smiled flirtatiously and triumphantly. She had dispelled all her concerns. It seemed that the matter she had arranged could proceed smoothly tonight.
Next, Afang called Xia Jian to tell him about tonight's matter. Since she had already told Xia Jian about this before, he didn't have any opinion. He was just afraid that since he worked in the same unit as Zhao Desan and saw him every day, it would inevitably be a bit awkward. Afang said she would arrange the rest, and he just needed to go home on time after work.
After making arrangements for Xia Jian, Afang called Zhao Desan again to inform him that Zheng the Eunuch had a social engagement tonight, completely dispelling his concerns so he could just come to the house.
After answering Afang's call, Zhao Desan associated it with the fact that he saw Lin Dafa drive to the Construction Committee when he returned from the hospital, and guessed that Zheng the Eunuch should have been invited by Lin Dafa to dinner tonight. This was good, and his concerns were completely dispelled. He had figured it out. Anyway, he was just participating in tonight's matter as a condition to create a stimulating therapeutic effect, and even more so as a bystander. Since the couple didn't mind, what was there for him, a dignified seven-foot-tall man, to be ashamed of? Letting go of his courage, Zhao Desan lingered in the office for a while after work, called Su Qing, and said he had a temporary social engagement tonight and would be back late. Su Qing didn't manage Zhao Desan very strictly in his daily life, only often warning him to attend social engagements he should attend and not to attend those he shouldn't. But for Zhao Desan, if he didn't attend this "social engagement" tonight, Afang wouldn't help implement Xiao Du's work at the hospital. He had boasted in front of Xu Min and Xiao Du, and if the matter couldn't be done, where would he put his face? So Zhao Desan felt that he had to attend this unique "social engagement" tonight no matter what.
After asking Su Qing for leave for the night, Zhao Desan sat in the office and smoked a cigarette. Then, taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, he prepared to take a stroll on the street. After packing his briefcase, he got up, walked out of the office, locked the door, and walked out of the building. At this time, there were not many cars left in the parking lot in front of the comprehensive office building. People in the unit who had cars had almost all driven away after work, except for Lan Mei's red Hyundai, which was still parked there, looking very dazzling. Seeing Lan Mei's car, Zhao Desan thought of Lan Mei, knowing that she should still be in the office and hadn't left at this time. He couldn't help but turn around, looked up at the second floor, and had an urge to find her. But suddenly he calmed down again. I don't know why, perhaps Zheng Jie's betrayal had hit him too hard recently, making Zhao Desan not trust women much. Under such psychological influence, he also distanced himself from Lan Mei.
