~7 min read 1,265 words

Thinking of Zheng Ru, Zhao Desan dialed her number again.

It rang for several times before Zheng Ru's phone was connected, and her hoarse voice came from inside: "What's wrong?"

"Zheng Ru, are you okay today?" Zhao Desan heard her voice was a bit hoarse, so he asked with concern.

"I'm fine." Zheng Ru answered faintly.

Zhao Desan smiled lightly and said: "It's good that you are fine."

Zheng Ru didn't say anything to follow his words on the phone. Knowing she was silent, Zhao Desan found a topic and asked: "By the way, did you come to the unit to work?"

"No." Zheng Ru's answer was very shallow, as if she had no intention of talking to him at all.

"You wouldn't still be sleeping, would you?" Zhao Desan asked with a relaxed tone and a smile.

Zheng Ru answered faintly: "I'm not feeling well today, resting at home. Do you have anything to do?"

"No, just asking about you." Zheng Ru's coldness made Zhao Desan not know what to say for a moment.

"Then if there's nothing else, I'm hanging up." Zheng Ru said without interest, and hung up the phone before Zhao Desan could say anything else.

Damn it, didn't we already agree not to be angry when drinking last night! Hearing the 'beep beep' sound from the phone, Zhao Desan said to himself in his heart.

After putting down the mobile phone, he felt his head was still faintly throbbing, so he covered himself with his coat and rested on the boss chair.

At this time, He Liping was sitting in the office thinking about what happened last night. Although everything seemed to be proceeding according to the plan, what happened after she left was not under her control. In order to ensure that her scheming this time was not in vain, at ten o'clock, He Liping picked up her mobile phone and dialed Hu Tao.

The phone was connected after ringing twice, and Hu Tao's weak and slightly uneasy voice came from inside: "Director He, wh... what's wrong?"

Hearing Hu Tao's panicked and uneasy voice on the phone, He Liping chuckled and asked: "Boss Hu, didn't drink too much last night, did you?"

"No... nothing." Hu Tao answered with a feigned calm smile.

"That's good." He Liping said with a light smile, and then asked about the most sensitive topic: "You didn't call Xiao Zheng to get up this morning? Why hasn't she come to the unit today?"

"I... I..." Facing the question He Liping deliberately mentioned, Hu Tao stammered for a long time and didn't say anything.

Hearing Hu Tao stammering and unable to answer, He Liping knew that what happened last night had developed completely according to her plan. She deliberately asked suspiciously: "Boss Hu, what's wrong with you? Why are you stammering?"

"Deputy Director He, do you have time at noon? I want... I want to tell you something in person." Hu Tao finally hardened his heart and decided to tell He Liping what happened last night, seeking her help to see if this matter could be eliminated invisibly. If what happened last night was known by Zheng Tulu, he would definitely not have a good end.

"Noon?" He Liping thought thoughtfully for a while and said: "Alright then, Boss Hu, you find a place, I will go over after work."

"Okay, then Deputy Director He, let's... let's meet and talk at noon." Hu Tao said uneasily on the phone.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'm hanging up." He Liping said.

"Okay, then goodbye, Deputy Director He." Hu Tao said respectfully.

So, He Liping hung up the phone. After putting down the mobile phone, a proud smile appeared on her face. From Hu Tao's evasive performance on the phone, she could already be 100% sure that what happened last night had developed according to her plan.

And when Zhao Desan called Zheng Ru and covered himself with his coat to rest on the chair, he thought of the wine party last night and his abnormal performance when he returned home. In his eardrums, Zheng Ru's hoarse and indifferent voice echoed again, and a strange feeling emerged faintly. His sixth sense told him that Zheng Ru's reaction today seemed a bit abnormal, and something must have happened. But what happened, he couldn't say, and he wouldn't think in other directions, preparing to wait for Zheng Ru to come to the unit before finding an opportunity to ask her.

But before Zheng Ru came to the unit to ask her, on the afternoon of the next day, Hu Tao called Zhao Desan. On the phone, he spoke evasively and wanted to invite Zhao Desan to a meal. Regarding Hu Tao's invitation, Zhao Desan naturally understood that it was absolutely not because He Liping's meal made him no longer care about the conflict with him, but there was something else to say. So, Zhao Desan agreed to go.

This day, after finishing Hu Tao's call, a flash of ecstasy flashed in Zhao Desan's heart. Even he himself couldn't explain the reason for this sudden ecstasy, it was just that the situation of drinking the night before flashed in his mind a few times.

Without time to savor it carefully, Zhao Desan walked out of the office, preparing to call Hu Tao after leaving the Construction Committee gate to ask where he was. But when he came to the gate of the Construction Committee and looked up, he saw Hu Tao waiting there, spinning around in circles. Zhao Desan waved at him, signaling him to talk on the other side of the road.

Hu Tao understood Zhao Desan's meaning very well. Seeing Zhao Desan come out, he immediately walked toward the other side of the road. After reaching the other side of the road, he didn't stop his footsteps and walked directly toward a coffee shop.

Zhao Desan smiled secretly, knowing that this kid must have something to ask of him, so he didn't be polite and followed behind Hu Tao into the coffee shop.

Entering the coffee shop, Hu Tao ordered two cups of coffee casually, then frowned, with a bitter face, said to Zhao Desan: "Brother Liu, this time you must save your brother."

Zhao Desan also frowned, asked suspiciously: "What's wrong? Where did Brother Hu's words come from?"

"Hey, where did they come from? It's all the trouble you caused..." Hu Tao said with a grievance. In his opinion, if it weren't for Zhao Desan toasting him one after another that night, he wouldn't have been drunk, drunk and chaotic, and done that kind of thing.

"Stop, stop, stop! I say, are you sick? Did you take the wrong medicine? You haven't said what happened yet, and you first covered me with a big hat." Zhao Desan said relentlessly, while feeling extremely suspicious in his heart.

"Hey, there's really nothing I can do about you, but this time you must save me." Hu Tao was still full of frustration.

"Then you have to say what happened, what exactly do you want me to help you with?" Zhao Desan felt that Hu Tao had encountered a great trouble, otherwise he wouldn't be so helpless, and wouldn't lick his face to come and ask for help from him, this big enemy. It seems that he still has some effect in this matter.

"Oh, right, it's that Zheng Ru, your Zheng eldest lady..." Hu Tao finally said the origin of the matter.

"Oh, right, it's that young lady of yours, Zheng Ru..." Hu Tao finally revealed the origin of the matter.
