Chapter 2201

"Oh, I usually call Director Zheng 'Zheng Laopi' behind his back." Hu Tao explained.

Zhao Desan was expressionless, pretended to be very puzzled, and continued to ask, "You... you are a pawn of his? How do you say that?"

"Sigh, Brother Liu, if you hadn't insisted on me doing this for you today, I wouldn't be embarrassed to tell you this kind of thing. I'll just tell you everything!" Speaking of this, Hu Tao tilted his neck and poured all the coffee in the cup into his mouth.

"I'd like to hear the details, I'm all ears." Zhao Desan looked incredulous, as if he were saying, "Keep making it up!" He also wanted to deliberately stimulate Hu Tao to let him confess the whole truth.

How could Hu Tao not see Zhao Desan's expression? But now that things had come to this, he had to bite the bullet and briefly narrate the process to Zhao Desan...

It turned out that the matter was like this: Hu Tao's greed for money and lust was obvious to all. Zheng Zheng Tulu had always used his greed, handed over some projects hosted by the Construction Committee to him for construction through his power, and collected money from him. Of course, the prerequisite was to satisfy his own selfish desires without harming the interests of all parties. On the other hand, Zheng Zheng Tulu used Hu Tao's greed for money and lust to collect all his misdeeds, so as to hold and threaten him, making him have to work for him wholeheartedly. In the overpass project constructed by an engineering branch of Hu Tao's company, when it was about to be completed, the person in charge of the branch rolled away the project funds. Originally, Hu Tao, as the person in charge of the head office, had the right to ask the Provincial Construction Committee to recover the migrant workers' wages. But because the Construction Committee, as Party A, was accustomed to paying migrant workers' wages in the form of project funds in the payment method, it led to the accident of migrant workers chasing wages. After Zheng Zheng Tulu learned that this happened, he used the loopholes and mistakes in the Construction Committee's capital payment method to move the contradiction. Through Hu Tao, he asked him to arrange for Li Fang to lead migrant workers to make trouble in the unit, and then falsely used the excuse of valuing Zhao Desan to hand over this matter to him. Under his remote control behind his back, Li Fang's aggressive posture finally made Zhao Desan fall into the trap in order to calm the matter...

"Damn it, this old fox, I actually fell for his trick!" After listening to Hu Tao's brief narration, Zhao Desan finally realized that the whole thing was a trap set by Zheng Zheng Tulu, that old fox, digging a hole for him to jump into, and he actually jumped in obediently. He said indignantly, almost furious.

"Hehe..." Hu Tao smiled bitterly, then continued, "Brother Liu, it's not that your brother wants to treat you like that, but I have no capital to speak in front of Zheng Laopi at all." As Hu Tao said this, he shook his head with shame, then said as if he had thought of something, "Right, it's not that your brother is afraid of things. Don't mind if I say something..."

Seeing Hu Tao's sincere appearance, today he could personally confess the ins and outs of the whole thing, which was an unexpected gain for him, so he had to believe him, so he said, "Say it, I won't mind."

Hu Tao coughed twice, then continued, "Brother Liu, your brother advises you, don't fight with Zheng Laopi. You can't beat him. Do you know how deep his cultivation is after mixing in the officialdom for decades?"

Zhao Desan nodded, as if Hu Tao's words didn't surprise him. He saw him nodding and saying, "Yes, you are right. Fighting with Zheng Zheng Tulu is just like hitting a stone with an egg. However, this matter is not up to me!" After speaking, he sighed deeply. He had also thought about sitting down with Zheng Zheng Tulu to talk well, drink some wine, and smile away the grudges, but Zheng Zheng Tulu didn't seem to intend to shake hands and make peace with him. He could only bite the bullet and meet his challenge.

Looking at Zhao Desan's lost appearance, Hu Tao also felt very sad for him. But he was a straightforward person without any scheming. Seeing that Zhao Desan's mood was not high, he was thinking about his own affairs, so he didn't care what Zhao Desan thought, and immediately asked, "Brother Liu, look at my matter...?"

Zhao Desan understood Hu Tao's meaning, fearing that because he couldn't help him, he would ignore his affairs. In fact, just at the beginning, when Hu Tao said he couldn't help him, he really thought so, absolutely not caring about his affairs with Zheng Ru. But after listening to his narration, he finally understood who the enemy who had always wanted to abolish him was, so he thought and said, "Don't look at the fact that you couldn't help me, but I am like this. I would rather others treat me badly, but I will absolutely not do things that treat friends badly. Don't worry, I will speak for you on Zheng Ru's side. But there is one point, I will try my best to help you, but in fact, I don't have full confidence in persuading Zheng Ru."

"You will, you will, you will definitely be able to persuade her. She only believes in you. In her view, only you are a real man in this world." Hu Tao quickly flattered Zhao Desan.

"Alright, alright, don't put a high hat on me anymore. Since I promised you, I will definitely try my best to help you. I'll just say the ugly words first, so as not to be blamed by you if Zheng Ru doesn't buy my account then." Zhao Desan simply made it clear.

"No, no, I will absolutely not blame you, but... but..." Hu Tao started stammering again.

"But what? What else is there? Can you say it together? How uncomfortable is it like squeezing milk?" Zhao Desan was a bit impatient.

Hu Tao smiled awkwardly, then continued, "Brother Liu, your brother's meaning is that you'd better persuade Zheng Ru to suppress her temper, that's enough. Brother still wants to... to associate with her..."

Zhao Desan was a bit angry. He glared at Hu Tao and roared, "I say, you bastard, are you getting an inch and wanting a foot? This condition of yours is equivalent to letting your little brother die. Are you making it so difficult for your brother?" Zhao Desan didn't intend to fall out with Hu Tao for the time being. He always felt that in the matter between him and Zheng Zheng Tulu, this bastard would still have use value.

"Don't, don't say that. Am I not discussing with you? If you can do it, your brother will make up for the money you lost. If you can't, your brother will never blame you." Hu Tao quickly accompanied with a smiling face, fearing that Zhao Desan would be unhappy and wash his hands of it.

Hearing Hu Tao say he wanted to make up for his losses, Zhao Desan asked with some unbearable excitement, "Brother, what you said is true?"

Hu Tao patted his chest and said, "Brother, what your brother says absolutely counts."

A strange look flashed in Zhao Desan's eyes, and he looked at the time again. Two hours had passed unconsciously. So he stood up and said, "Alright, that's it. I will try my best to free you. But before I see Zheng Ru, you must not have any inappropriate actions, otherwise, if things are messed up, I won't be able to do anything."

Hu Tao's head nodded like a chick eating rice, and he kept saying, "Don't worry, don't worry, I will absolutely not have any excessive points. But brother, you have to be a little faster. I'm afraid that Zheng Ru's emotional fluctuations are too large and she will tell Zheng Laopi."

Zhao Desan nodded and said, "I will think about handling this for you as soon as possible, but it won't work today. I have important things to do. You go back first."

"Hmm, with your words, Brother Liu, I can rest assured." After Hu Tao finished speaking, he nodded at Zhao Desan again, turned around, and walked toward the door of the coffee house.

Zhao Desan didn't hesitate anymore. Watching Hu Tao walk out of the coffee house, he followed him out. But when he walked to the door, the waiter stopped him and said, "Sir, you haven't paid the bill yet. Please pay the bill."

Zhao Desan widened his eyes and asked, "Haven't you paid the bill yet?"

"Yes, sir, we all order things to use here, and pay the bill together at the end." The waiter said very politely.

Zhao Desan was so angry in his heart. Damn it, you, Hu Tao, actually came to me with "I treat you, you pay the bill." Sigh, think about it, maybe he forgot in his excitement. Zhao Desan thought so, and asked casually, "How much?"

"One hundred and eighty yuan." The waiter replied.

"What? Two cups of coffee cost one hundred and eighty yuan?" Zhao Desan asked with wide eyes.

"Yes, sir, we have a charging standard here." The waiter said while handing the charging price list to Zhao Desan.

Zhao Desan was too lazy to look at the price list. He took out two hundred yuan from his pocket, handed it to the waiter, and said casually and angrily, "No need to look for it!" After speaking, he had already walked out of the door of the coffee house.

Walking out of the coffee house, Zhao Desan hesitated. He really wanted to contact Zheng Ru immediately, but thought about it again, and felt that he should go to Zheng Zheng Tulu first to test it, hinting that he had already found out the truth of the wage-chasing incident, and see what Zheng Zheng Tulu's reaction was.

Thinking of this, Zhao Desan bit the bullet, hailed a taxi, and headed toward the Provincial Construction Committee...

Knocking on Zheng Zheng Tulu's office, the first thing Zhao Desan saw after entering was He Liping sitting in Zheng Zheng Tulu's office. Although Zhao Desan felt a bit strange, he still nodded politely at He Liping and didn't speak.
