"Hello auntie. It's been a long ti, how's your health?"
"Oh, isn't this Xiaofan, co co co. Quickly, have a seat. Why did you buy fruit, just co empty-handed next ti. Have you eaten? I've made sweet soup, co have a bowl."
Chen ngying's mother was very warm to Xiaofan, especially since she needed help during her recovery after surgery, Xiaofan would co every evening to help Chen ngying push a small cart out, and the two would set up a stall together.
For Chen ngying's mother, Xiaofan's visit was always welcod, never treating him as an outsider. However, he hadn't co for a long ti.
The apartnt was a one-bedroom and living room, probably about sixty square ters, with decorations from the 90s, yet looked very tidy and clean.
"I was actually full, but if there's sweet soup here, I definitely must have a bowl. I've missed auntie's cooking for so long, I'm craving it." Xiaofan joked as he placed the fruit on the table.
It had been a long ti since Xiaofan bantered with his mother playfully. This guy was really comfortable here. Rember one ti after they finished selling goods at the stall, he heard the sweet soup was made, this guy didn't even wash his hands and directly served himself, saying as he ate: "Better serve yourself, take the biggest bowl you want."
Hmm, this guy is really not bad. But he has soone he likes, and that girl is very outstanding, extrely outstanding.
It was getting late, Xiaofan left after having the sweet soup. Liu Siyan's family company matters were still unresolved, he needed to rest well first to have the energy to deal with it.
With Xiaofan's departure, Chen ngying quietly tidied up the dishes Xiaofan used.
"Daughter, why did you co back with Xiaofan tonight? Where did you go?" Lin ihua, being experienced, could read her daughter's feelings clearly on her face.
"Huh? We didn't go anywhere. Just bumped into each other." Chen ngying answered vaguely.
"You two, aren't secretly going out together, are you?" Lin ihua pursued further.
"Mom, what are you talking about? That's impossible. We're just classmates, friends; moreover, Xiaofan has a girl he likes at school. I'm going to shower first."
Hearing her daughter's sowhat sour words, Lin ihua's expression dimd, her heart sighed: Xiaofan is a good kid. And in this household, a man is needed, but they are too young. It's too early to talk about this, but Xiaofan has soone he likes, there's nothing that can be done, just this child ng Ying, perhaps she can't let go of Xiaofan in her heart.
"Daughter, graduation is approaching and your tuition isn't settled yet. The stall can't be set up anymore, what should we do?"
"Mom, I'll slowly figure out the tuition issue, you should rest a bit now. At worst, I won't go to college."
"How can you say that, if you don't go to college, do you plan to push a cart and sell goods your whole life? If Xiaofan is willing to accompany you doing this for life, I could accept it, but..."
"Mom... stop saying that. Xiaofan and that female classmate make a good match. Plus, Xiaofan and I are just classmates."
Are they really just classmates? Under the cold water, Chen ngying's heart sighed: He is a good person, he will find his happiness, even if his happiness isn't , silently blessing him in my heart is enough.
As for Chen ngying's feelings towards him, Xiaofan hadn't noticed at all, as said before, he simply felt he did what he ought to do.
In matters of the heart, Xiaofan might be dense, or perhaps a bit clueless, but it's not his fault, after all, Chen ngying always kept her feelings hidden, never confrontationally telling Xiaofan.
Setting aside the girl's feelings, borrowing a car, Xiaofan still lingered outside the tax bureau.
And after waiting, two days passed.
Finally, one noon, Xiaofan saw Zhang Yongchang coming downstairs, getting into his car and leaving.
Today was the final day of the three-day deadline, whether breakthrough evidence could be found depended on this occasion.
Driving, Xiaofan followed far behind Zhang Yongchang's car and watched it enter a residential complex, then parked his car outside and climbed over a wall to enter.
The community consisted entirely of private villas. Clearly, wealthy folks live quite extravagantly.
This wasn't Zhang Yongchang's ho, so who was he eting here? And what for?
From afar, Xiaofan saw Zhang Yongchang walking into one of the villas, cars were parked outside, and the driver waited outside; approaching directly was impossible.
Thus, Xiaofan circled to the back door, climbed a drainpipe to the second floor, and entered the villa from the balcony.
After dropping the lead weight, Xiaofan's actions were unimpeded, feeling much lighter. Previously, climbing to the second floor so silently would've been impossible.
"Director Deng, why are you in such a hurry to call over, what's the matter?"
"Director Zhang, sigh, these days Liu Zhenghua has repeatedly insisted on thoroughly investigating the issuance of goods. I'm afraid I won't last much longer."
"How far can he investigate, Director Deng don't panic, soon Liu Zhenghua will completely collapse, and by then, Zhenghua Enterprise shares will be tily deposited into your account." Zhang Yongchang replied indifferently.
"But this..."
"That real receipt you've burned, they won't find evidence. Relax, oh, by the way, this villa is nice, right? Here's the key, in a few days send soone over, I'll give you the property deed." Just as things were about to succeed, Zhang Yongchang didn't want his partner to falter.
In the face of personal gain, who can resist temptation?
"Oh, how could I accept this." Director Deng's face instantly showed delight, obviously he ca to find Zhang Yongchang not out of true fear, but wanting more benefits.
"If there's nothing else, then let's leave it at this, in the next few days we better not et." Zhang Yongchang indeed handled matters cautiously, but no matter how cautious, he didn't know their conversation was overheard by Xiaofan hiding on the balcony.
"By the way, that docunt signed with you last ti, you must keep it very safe."
"Don't worry about handling things, wasn't that safe introduced by soone you recomnded?" Zhang Yongchang replied with a laugh.
These two old foxes.
Xiaofan hiding on the balcony witnessed all this, knowing these secret conversations would surely be useful, so from the start he recorded their face-to-face talk on his phone."
With decisive evidence in hand, Xiaofan imdiately retraced his steps. With this evidence and Liu Dongming captured by Zhenghua Enterprise, they could likely return to normalcy. However, relying on this alone to topple Zhang Yongchang wasn't enough.
