Chapter 2197

He Liping described the consequences of the matter as very serious, making Hu Tao feel a chill down his spine after hearing it. He shivered all over, his face turned pale with fear, and he said tremblingly, "Sister He, you... you must help your brother. As long as Sister He can help your brother suppress this matter, your brother is willing to do anything for you, Sister He." Hu Tao was also a smart guy; at this moment, he started to cozy up and express his loyalty.

Seeing that the atmosphere had been brewed enough, and seeing Hu Tao's pale face and terrified appearance, He Liping knew that this guy was already scared to the extreme. Therefore, He Liping sat back down, took a sip of tea, looked straight at the pale-faced Hu Tao with a serious face, softened her tone, and said, "Hu Tao, this matter is very serious. To tell you the truth, I have no way to help you solve it."

"Sister He, then... then what should I do?" Hearing that He Liping was also at her wit's end, Hu Tao immediately asked, looking extremely nervous.

"What to do?" He Liping muttered to herself, then narrowed her eyes, appearing to be lost in thought.

Seeing that He Liping was thinking of a way to solve the problem for him, Hu Tao didn't dare to say anything else to disturb her thoughts. He just furrowed his brows, made a bitter face, and with an expectant expression, pinned all his hopes on He Liping.

He Liping pretended to be lost in thought for a long while, then looked at Hu Tao, who was full of expectations, with a strange look, and said, "Boss Hu, although I have no way to help you solve this matter, I thought of someone. He should be able to help you solve this matter." Having said this, He Liping paused, waiting for Hu Tao to pick up the conversation.

Sure enough, hearing that He Liping had thought of a way to solve the problem, hope ignited in Hu Tao's heart. He looked at He Liping with gratitude and asked urgently, "Sister He, who is the person you're talking about?"

"Zhao Desan." He Liping spat out Zhao Desan's name.

After hearing Zhao Desan's name, Hu Tao immediately widened his eyes, looked at He Liping with astonishment, and then asked with great doubt, "Sister He, are you saying Zhao Desan can help me?"

He Liping looked at Hu Tao with a piercing gaze, nodded affirmatively, and said, "Yes, only Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao can help you."

Seeing He Liping's affirmative appearance, Hu Tao didn't seem to trust her idea very much. In his view, if even He Liping couldn't help him with this matter, what virtue or ability did Zhao Desan have to help him? Thinking this, he looked at He Liping with suspicion, made a bitter face, and said, "Sister He, you're not... not joking with me, are you? If even you, Sister He, have no way, what way could he, Zhao Desan, have?" Saying this, Hu Tao's face was filled with disappointment, as if he had already lost heart about this matter.

Seeing Hu Tao's disappointed expression, He Liping's mind turned, she sneered, and reminded him, "Hu Tao, don't forget the relationship between Zheng Ru and Zhao Desan."

Under He Liping's reminder, Hu Tao finally thought of the affectionate look Zheng Ru had when she looked at Zhao Desan at the dinner. He was a smart man and immediately understood some things. He tentatively asked He Liping, "Sister He, are you saying Little Zheng is interested in Zhao Desan?"

He Liping chuckled twice and said noncommittally, "It's more than just interested. There are many things between Little Zheng and Zhao Desan that you don't know at all. Do you know why Old Zheng is always thinking about fixing Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao? It's because Little Zheng likes Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao, but Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao didn't agree. And Old Zheng saw Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao's development prospects and his backer, Deputy Secretary Su, and wanted to have a political marriage. But the falling flowers have the intention to follow the flowing water, while the flowing water has no heart to love the falling flowers. Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao is the kind of guy who is naturally romantic and didn't agree to this marriage at all. As a result, he secretly formed a grudge with Old Zheng. However, Little Zheng's feelings for Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao have never changed."

He Liping's words made Hu Tao understand why Zheng Zheng Tulu would arrange for them to set a trap for Zhao Desan to jump into. But he was still a bit confused and didn't understand what his asking He Liping for help had to do with the emotional entanglement between Zheng Ru and Zhao Desan. For a moment, he was like a monk in the second grade, unable to figure it out. He narrowed his eyes and asked suspiciously, "But what does this have to do with Zhao Desan being able to help me?"

Seeing Hu Tao's confused appearance, He Liping glared at him fiercely and scolded, "Boss Hu, I've already spoken so clearly, why are you still so stupid! You're so shrewd in business, why can't your brain turn around in this matter!"

Seeing He Liping's confident appearance, Hu Tao knew that since she could say so, there must be her reasons. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, smiled awkwardly, and said, "My brain is too stupid. Could you please speak more plainly, Sister He?"

Hu Tao's inability to understand really angered He Liping. She glared at him angrily and simply said plainly, "Don't you understand yet? The one who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. The knot in Little Zheng's heart can only be untied by Zhao Desan. Similarly, now that Little Zheng's emotions are unstable, only Zhao Desan can guide her. Do you understand now?"

"Understood, understood, Sister He, I understand." After He Liping's plain explanation, Hu Tao immediately nodded in sudden realization.

Seeing that Hu Tao finally understood her meaning, He Liping finally breathed a sigh of relief. So far, her plan had been 80% completed. As long as Hu Tao went to find Zhao Desan and needed his help, the remaining 20% would be completed naturally. She rolled her eyes at Hu Tao, picked up the teacup, took a sip of water, and reminded him, "It's best if you find Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao to help you as soon as possible. Otherwise, Little Zheng's emotions are fluctuating these two days. In case she tells Old Zheng about this, you brat, just wait to go to court!" He Liping scared Hu Tao, aiming to make him seek Zhao Desan's help as soon as possible, so that Zhao Desan would understand the whole truth of the wage-chasing incident.

Scared by He Liping, Hu Tao's mood, which had just calmed down a little, became uneasy again. That terrified mood was completely written on his pale face. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, I will go find Zhao Desan as soon as possible."

Seeing that Hu Tao had completely fallen into the trap, He Liping raised her wrist and looked at the limited-edition Longines watch on her hand, then said to Hu Tao, "Alright, I should go back to the unit to work. You can handle the rest of the things yourself. I can only help you this much." Saying this, He Liping stood up.

Hu Tao followed her up and said with gratitude, "Sister He, thank you so much. After this matter passes, I, Hu Tao, will definitely have a great reward for you, Sister He, in the future."

He Liping sneered dismissively, turned around, and walked out of the teahouse. Hu Tao followed closely behind her, sent her out of the teahouse, and watched her walk toward the Construction Committee. Until her back disappeared at the corner of the street, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the teahouse, sat down, and pondered how to ask Zhao Desan for help. After all, because of Zheng Jie, the two of them had been secretly competing with each other. At this time, if he went to find Zhao Desan again, would he help him? Unless he was the kind of person who didn't hold grudges. But Hu Tao thought back that since He Liping could let him find him, there must be some certainty. In addition, at the dinner she arranged, he and Zhao Desan were at least drinking and calling each other brothers on the table. He shouldn't shut him out.

To be honest, letting Hu Tao find Zhao Desan for help, he really couldn't lower his face. But considering the severity of the matter, in case he delayed again and again, and one day Zheng Ru couldn't think it through and poked out the matter of him breaking into the room and getting with her that night, and sent him to court, the consequences would be unimaginable. Thinking of this unacceptable result, Hu Tao bit the bullet, thickened his face, and dialed Zhao Desan's phone. Also hindered by the fact that the two had just eaten a meal, and Zhao Desan was not the kind of person who would kill them all, after all, having been in the officialdom for many years, he also learned the truth of "convenience for others is convenience for oneself," and agreed to meet with Hu Tao.

After listening to Hu Tao's narration, the mystery that Zhao Desan had been unable to solve for the past two days finally cleared up. He finally understood why he felt hot and uncomfortable all over after drinking and going back that night, and had an urge to release his male instincts. It turned out that all this was arranged by He Liping, with the purpose of letting Hu Tao take the initiative to ask him for help, making him need his help. In a sense, it let him grab Hu Tao's tail.

But why did He Liping want him to grab his tail? Although this guy pried Zheng Jie away from his side and gave him a green hat, his feelings for Zheng Jie had been diluted after this period of time, and now he had completely let go. What could he do by grabbing Hu Tao's tail? There was no intersection between them.

But He Liping must have her purpose and reason for doing this, Zhao Desan thought to himself, but he hadn't found out what her real intention for doing this was for the time being.

Zhao Desan decided to get to the bottom of it. He narrowed his eyes and laughed, sighed deeply, and said, "Hey! I say, brother, are you a novice!" Actually, Zhao Desan was a bit unhappy about how Hu Tao treated the women he captured, but after all, he wasn't a man who was dedicated to one person in this regard, so he had to endure the dissatisfaction in his heart and wanted to figure out He Liping's trap to make Hu Tao come to him for help.

Figure it out clearly.

Seeing Zhao Desan say this, Hu Tao became even more energetic. He originally thought Zhao Desan would criticize his unfaithful behavior, but he didn't expect Zhao Desan to stand on his side. So he stretched his head forward and whispered, "Brother, you don't know. According to common sense, my old hands can't deal with ordinary women. But, but you don't know that Zheng Ru is different from other women. She is Director Zheng's daughter, and I... I also muddledly got with her. If this is poked out, the consequences are unimaginable." After speaking, Hu Tao shook his head helplessly.

To tell the truth, Zhao Desan sincerely didn't want to help Hu Tao. After pulling such a long string with him, he was a bit impatient. He raised his hand to look at his watch, saw that it was not early, and said to Hu Tao, "What do you want me to help you with by finding me? Or how to help you?"

Hu Tao looked at Zhao Desan, bit his teeth, patted the table with his hand, and said, "Brother, in the two days of contact with Zheng Ru, I can see that she has a good impression of you, and it seems she also admires your ability and level, so... so..." Hu Tao paused here.
