152: Chapter 152 I think I have something on Zhao Yang

After Hai Ping's family signed the contract with the iPartment property management, they started packing up over the weekend, planning to move next week.

They hadn't thought much of it before, but after seeing the environment at Wenhua Jiayuan, and especially after realizing the cost of living was about the same, they did not want to spend another day in this cramped, dim old house.

The apartment at iPartment was much more spacious, and they could even bring her daughter and parents over to stay for a few days.

Although helping pack over the weekend was tiring, Haizao was happy to see her sister so joyful.

On Monday, she hummed a little tune as she walked into the office.

Sitting at her desk, she suddenly noticed that Su Tan's expression was gloomy, and she was clearly in a bad mood, so she could not help but whisper, "What is wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?"

Su Tan sighed, "I got scolded by Manager Chen Sifu on Friday night. Just now, he scolded me again... Why? I clearly... I clearly tried so hard. Wuwuwu..."

"Huh?" Haizao was stunned, "Do not cry, do not cry, what happened? Was everything not fine on Friday? Did he not take you to a social function?"

Su Tan bit her lip, looking indignant, "It was that social function. Some mayor's secretary, surnamed Song. I clearly tried so hard to please and flatter him, wore a short skirt, and even took the initiative to let him take advantage a little... As a result, he was not satisfied at all."

Haizao looked confused, "Huh? This... this was not enough? Could it be that he wanted... wanted..."

She felt embarrassed to continue.

She had heard of such things, but it was hard to speak about.

Su Tan finally could not help but burst into tears, "He scolded me as a Young Miss who accompanies people for drinks, saying I was like a prostitute... Wuwuwu, it is too bullying. He was not happy when it was cold, he was not happy when it was hot, he is too hard to please."

Haizao opened her mouth, feeling very fortunate that she had not gone to that social function.

If she had encountered such a difficult person, she would probably have been scolded even worse.

Su Tan's crying drew Manager Chen Sifu over.

He frowned and Dao, "What are you crying about so early in the morning? If you want to cry, go home and cry, it is really bad luck. Haizao, come to my office."

"Oh..." Haizao quickly followed him into the office and stood there obediently.

Manager Chen Sifu looked her over and asked, "What did you gain on Friday night?"

"Huh? Manager Chen Sifu, which aspect are you referring to?"

Manager Chen Sifu pointed at her, "Are you playing dumb with me too? I am talking about that big boss you mentioned earlier. I let you go on a date, you would not have offended him like that idiot Su Tan, right?"

"No, no." Haizao quickly shook her head, "We chatted quite well, and I even went to his house to sit for a while. His house is a villa, the decoration does not look luxurious, but the furniture is mostly made of rosewood, although I could not tell the origin. Also his TV, it is as big as a wall."

"Oh..." Manager Chen Sifu nodded with satisfaction, "You are better than Su Tan. Now let me ask you, what does that boss do for a living?"

Haizao shook her head, "I do not know, he did not say, and I did not know how to ask."

"You did not know how to ask?" Manager Chen Sifu looked at her like she was an idiot, "Did you not learn how to talk when interacting with clients? Did the company not provide training?"

"I..." Haizao hesitated for a moment and said, "I do not know how to put it, it is just that when I am in front of him, my train of thought is led by him, I have no opportunity, and I do not dare to say anything else."

"Do not dare? Is that person very fierce?"

"No, he is very kind, but has a very dignified feeling." Haizao thought for a moment, "Just like a high-ranking official on TV."

"Then you did not ask for his business card?" Manager Chen Sifu asked again.

"I did. The business card only has his name and phone number, nothing else. The card is tear-proof, and the craftsmanship is even more exquisite than the ones you specially made."

"Hiss..." Manager Chen Sifu's expression turned serious, "What is his name?"

Haizao hesitated for a while, but still said, "Zhao Yang."

"Zhao Yang?" Manager Chen Sifu scratched his hair, "It sounds a bit familiar, but I cannot recall it for a moment. What does he look like?"

"Sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight nose and wide mouth, over 1.8 meters tall," Haizao said without hesitation, "He is more handsome than Takeshi Kaneshiro."

Seeing that Manager Chen Sifu's look was off, Haizao quickly said, "Manager Chen Sifu, I am telling the truth, he really is that handsome, I am not exaggerating at all, in fact, I feel like I have not said enough. I..."

"Do not talk anymore." Manager Chen Sifu quickly walked to the computer, opened a webpage, pointed to a photo on it, and asked, "Is this the person?"

Haizao leaned in and immediately nodded, "That is him... He is... Huh? Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the Third Procuratorate? Manager Chen Sifu, what kind of official is this?"

Manager Chen Sifu did not answer, just stared at Haizao with a strange expression.

Haizao felt creeped out by his gaze and took half a step back, "Manager Chen Sifu, what... what are you doing?"

"Haizao." Manager Chen Sifu looked serious, his tone very careful, "I do not know if I should ask this, but please do not get Life Qi."

"Please... go ahead and ask."

"Are you and this Deputy Chief Prosecutor Zhao in that kind of relationship between a man and a woman?"

Haizao blushed, feeling somewhat annoyed, "Manager Chen Sifu, please respect me. He and I are just acquaintances."

"Really not?"

"No."

"Then why did he invite you to his house?"

"Because the house I wanted to see was in his residential compound. Manager Chen Sifu, Deputy Chief Prosecutor Zhao and I are not even ordinary friends, at best we are just acquaintances."

"Okay, okay, do not be anxious, do not be anxious." Manager Chen Sifu softened his tone, "Do not blame me for asking. Deputy Chief Prosecutor Zhao is 29 years old this year, unmarried, and looks so handsome, it is normal for me to ask that, right?"

Haizao's expression softened slightly, "Oh... I understand."

"Alright, alright, go back to work, remember to maintain a good relationship with this Deputy Chief Prosecutor Zhao." Manager Chen Sifu dismissed Haizao, closed the door, and dialed Song Siming's number.

Once the call was connected, his face immediately filled with smiles, "Brother, it is me."

Song Siming's voice was very cold, "What is it? Let me tell you, Manager Chen Sifu, Friday's matter is not over yet. What kind of thing did you bring? Was it a prostitute you found at a bar at the last minute?"

"Brother, how would I dare? She really is a person from our company, a regular employee, you can check if you do not believe me." Manager Chen Sifu looked depressed, "She is usually quite normal at work, I do not know why she was so... so unrestrained after drinking a little. Do not worry, I will definitely not bring such a person over next time. I am really sorry, brother."

"What is it that you are calling me for?"

"Brother, I want to ask about someone, I do not know if you are familiar with him."

"Who?"

"Zhao Yang."

On the other end of the phone, Song Siming's voice suddenly raised an octave, "Who?"

"Zhao... Zhao Yang, he should be from the Procuratorate."

"Why are you asking about him? Did you offend him?"

"No, absolutely not." Manager Chen Sifu heard that Song Siming's tone was wrong, rolled his eyes, and said Dao, "A friend of mine has dealt with Zhao Yang and said this person has a lot of energy, so I just wanted to ask you, do I need to go and build a relationship?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Manager Chen Sifu sensed that something was wrong and quickly tried to make up for it, "Brother, do not overthink it, I do not have any other intentions. I just think that having more friends means more paths, and for you, you need friends in the officialdom, right?"

"Manager Chen Sifu." A gritted-teeth voice came from the other side, "Are you f*cking brain-damaged? Where is Zhao Yang from? The Procuratorate. Do you know what kind of place that is? To put it bluntly, you going to look for him is equivalent to a mouse running into a cat's nest."

Manager Chen Sifu gave a dry laugh, "Brother, is that not too scary? He is only 29 years old, how can he be that scary? Besides, I think I have grasped some leverage on him..."
