Chapter 663

"What's wrong with that? Such unchaste and immoral behavior must be resolutely stopped. You're doing a good deed, not anything bad." Zhao Desan said with a grand, righteous air.

Seeing Tingting pondered for a moment, lowered her eyes, and said, "I'll send Yingying a message to let her know." Saying this, she picked up her bag from the side, unzipped it, took out her phone, found Yingying's number in the address book, and sent her a message telling her what she had seen today.

Just after sending the message and before she had put the phone back into her handbag, Seeing Tingting's phone rang. Seeing it was Yingying calling, she said to Zhao Desan, "Brother Desan, it's Yingying calling."

"Answer it." Zhao Desan said, wanting to see how Yingying would react after knowing about this, and at the same time feeling schadenfreude for Baldy Zheng's upcoming encounter. Although Baldy Zheng had helped a lot with his entry into the Construction Committee, Zhao Desan knew that was also under pressure from Sister Su. Otherwise, after offending Baldy Zheng that night, the matter of entering the Construction Committee would have definitely gone down the drain.

Seeing Tingting knew Yingying would definitely be very anxious, so she answered the phone somewhat dejectedly. Sure enough, as soon as the phone was connected, Yingying on the other end asked her extremely anxiously, "Seeing Tingting, is what you said true?"

"It... it's true, I saw it with my own eyes." Hearing Yingying's anxious voice, Seeing Tingting became somewhat stammering and regretted meddling in other people's business. If something happened to Yingying's family because of this, it would be entirely her own doing.

"What does that man look like?" Yingying asked anxiously.

"He doesn't have much hair on his head, about fifty years old, seems to be some Director of the Construction Committee, surnamed..." Seeing Tingting looked at Zhao Desan, forgetting his surname for a moment.

"Surnamed Zheng, Zheng Liangyu." Zhao Desan prompted.

"Oh, surnamed Zheng, called Zheng Liangyu, seems to be the Director of the Hexi Provincial Construction Committee." Seeing Tingting told Yingying exactly what Zhao Desan said.

After hearing Seeing Tingting's words, Yingying on the other end of the phone unexpectedly giggled. While laughing, she said, "Seeing Tingting, that's my Uncle Zheng. You're really making a mountain out of a molehill, haha... I thought it was someone else, you scared me. I'm calling you to ask. Alright, I'm accompanying my dad and an uncle from Henan City to eat, I won't talk anymore." Just as Seeing Tingting was still puzzled, the phone hung up.

Seeing Tingting then slowly put down her phone and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Brother Desan, we both thought wrong. That Director Zheng is Yingying's uncle, and he knows her mom."

"He's her uncle?" Zhao Desan said in surprise. "I thought Yingying's mom had an affair."

"Yingying's family conditions are so good, why would she have an affair? We were both suspicious, thinking too much." Seeing Tingting said with a laugh.

Although Yingying hung up the phone with a laugh, she still wasn't at ease, so she called her mother again. When Zhao Desan stretched his neck to look, he saw Yingying's mom answer the phone, saying something with a laugh, then hang up and continue to eat and chat happily with Director Zheng. They really looked like old acquaintances, without a trace of an ambiguous atmosphere between a man and a woman.

It turned out that today, Yingying's dad had originally invited Baldy Zheng out to discuss the issue of land planning approval for a project development in the eastern suburbs of Xijing City by their own Beichen Real Estate Company. But because there was a land auction in Henan City today, he had temporarily taken Yingying there. Since he had already made an appointment with Baldy Zheng and couldn't make it, he had let his wife come to meet him.

Yingying's father had accumulated original capital by engaging in some small urban renovation projects many years ago. He knew well the importance of building a good relationship with the competent department officials during the development of his career. When he was engaged in urban renovation and the construction of some urban public welfare projects, he had already become acquainted with Baldy Zheng, who was then the Director of the Planning Division of the Xijing Municipal Construction Committee. He had opened up the relationship with him with money and called each other brothers. While expanding the company's business scope and then focusing on the real estate industry, he maintained a good cooperative relationship with Baldy Zheng, which made Beichen Real Estate Company always receive special care from Baldy Zheng in land approval and planning, which in turn made Beichen Real Estate Company jump to become the largest real estate development company in Hexi Province in recent years. As the saying goes, don't forget the well-digger when drinking water. After his company's territory expanded rapidly and entered its peak period, Yingying's dad didn't forget Baldy Zheng's special care in policy. He specifically spent a lot of money and took the initiative to propose giving Baldy Zheng 5% of Beichen Real Estate Company's annual profits as a return. Baldy Zheng also returned the favor, and they never encountered any difficulties in the land planning of Beichen Real Estate Company's new projects. Often, other real estate developers needed several months or even a year for the approval period, but Beichen Company only needed a very short time to pass the Construction Committee's approval.

Originally, today Yingying's dad, Zhang Zhang Jiayin, had made an appointment with Baldy Zheng to discuss the planning of the Solar New City residential area that their real estate company was launching in the suburbs. But because there was a land auction in Henan City, he had rushed over and sent his wife to meet Baldy Zheng.

This led to the scene that had just caused Zhao Desan and Yingying to misunderstand.

It was just that Zhao Desan still didn't quite understand one thing. Isn't Yingying surnamed Zhang? Baldy Zheng is surnamed Zheng. From the surname, the two families should have nothing to do with each other. How could Yingying call him uncle? With confusion, he picked up a piece of food, put it into his mouth, and while eating, asked Seeing Tingting, "Seeing Tingting, isn't Yingying's family surnamed Zhang? The Construction Committee Director is surnamed Zheng. Why does Yingying call him uncle?"

"Maybe it's a business relationship." Seeing Tingting thought for a while and said, "Brother Desan, didn't you say the Construction Committee is a unit that manages urban planning and renovation? Yingying's family is in real estate, her dad must know this director, so Yingying calls him uncle."

This simple reasoning of Seeing Tingting really woke up the dreamer. That's right, with Beichen Real Estate Company being so famous in Xijing, Yingying's father, as the boss of this company, knowing the leaders of the units related to his company was reasonable and very normal. Zhao Desan thought and stretched his neck to look over there again. He saw Yingying's mom and Baldy Zheng eating and chatting happily. It seemed they were really old acquaintances. And just as he was looking, he suddenly saw Yingying's mom pick up her handbag from the chair on the side, unzip it, take out something wrapped in a thick envelope, and push it in front of Baldy Zheng. He then understood that she must have wanted to take advantage of the meal to give him some benefits and ask him to handle something. He had seen this kind of scene at the dinner table when he was at the Yuyang Coal Bureau, so he didn't feel it was strange.

"Brother Desan, are you still suspicious of them?" Seeing Zhao Desan looking at them, Seeing Tingting asked him.

"No." Zhao Desan withdrew his gaze, turned his head, and said, "Just now we both thought wrong. I see this Director Zheng must have helped Yingying's family a lot."

"I don't know about that. Why care so much about others? Today I came to eat with you, can't you chat with me more?" Seeing Tingting pouted slightly and muttered.

"Aren't I chatting with you?" Zhao Desan laughed and said, "You're so big, why are you still like a little girl?"

"In front of Brother Desan, I'll always be a little sister." Seeing Tingting giggled and said, "If only you were my real brother. Since I was little, I've been the only one in the family, and no one played with me."

"If I were your real brother, wouldn't the things we did be too contrary to ethical morals?" Zhao Desan said with a wicked grin.

"Brother Desan is talking about that again." Seeing Tingting immediately blushed and became shy. Thinking of what she did with him at her place today, Seeing Tingting felt her face burn.

"Alright, I won't say it anymore. Look how shy you are." Zhao Desan said with a laugh. Looking at Seeing Tingting opposite him, her words just now also touched him. He was also an only child in his family, and no one played with him since he was little. Back then, seeing other families with several brothers and sisters being lively, he was very envious. Looking at Seeing Tingting, who was sitting opposite him and had grown up to be so delicate, he really wanted to have such a mischievous and cute little sister, at least he wouldn't be so lonely. But this kind of thinking was already impractical. Having broken through the bottom line of morality and done those things that violated ethics, it was like spilled water—what was said couldn't be taken back. Now the only thing he could do was to try his best to control his young, vigorous, and easily restless evil thoughts, and not always think about having that kind of relationship with Seeing Tingting.

Accompanying Seeing Tingting while eating and chatting about everything under the sun, suddenly a mobile phone ringtone not far away aroused his interest. He turned his head to look and sure enough saw Baldy Zheng pick up his phone and answer the call. Baldy Zheng's ringtone was very special; it was "Love Trade," which was very popular in the streets and shops these days. The ringtone with a strong agricultural heavy metal flavor matched Baldy Zheng's identity, making Zhao Desan feel funny for a moment. He couldn't help but laugh, which made Seeing Tingting very curious and asked him, "Brother Desan, what are you laughing at?"
