Facing Lin Huayin's powerful questioning, Xiao Zheng realized that he had been too careless. He had underestimated Lin Huayin's intelligence. This revered Xin Ao female boss definitely didn't rely on her fierce methods or her beautiful appearance to reach her current status, right? Wisdom was the key to her success.
Xiao Zheng didn't think that Lin Huayin would ask him this question, so he didn't waste any of his brain cells to think of a solution. But right now, Lin Huayin's questioning made Xiao Zheng realize that his actions might not have been flawless.
Yes.
The problem might have been with Wang Liu!
Xiao Zheng thought that a boss like Wang Liu, who cared about his face, would definitely pay the money and end the matter. He wouldn't explain why he had to pay the money. Who made him change his mind? Of course, Xiao Zheng didn't think that Wang Liu would compensate him with 20% interest. So, Xiao Zheng didn't even ask Wang Liu to keep this a secret.
After all, to Xiao Zheng, Wang Liu clearly didn't want others to know that he had been forced to pay the money.
But — — Xiao Zheng had miscalculated. Or rather, he had miscalculated a person, a woman who was in charge of Xin Ao!
How could Lin Huayin's intelligence be ignored?
If Blue Heart had successfully completed the debt collection mission, why wouldn't she have immediately reported it to Lin Huayin? Instead, Wang Liu had taken the initiative to propose it? This didn't match Blue Heart's enthusiasm towards work. Unless Blue Heart didn't complete the mission and was rejected by Wang Liu.
But if she was rejected, why would Wang Liu contact Lin Huayin and propose to pay the money?
The intelligent Lin Huayin might not have completely guessed the twists and turns, but she was sure that Wang Liu taking the initiative to pay the money wasn't because of Blue Heart, but because of someone else.
Who could it be?
Was it Tang Ming or Xiao Zheng who had followed Blue Heart?
Lin Huayin had a photographic memory. Although she couldn't remember everyone's name, she could still remember most of the thousands of employees in Xin Ao. She knew Tang Ming, a small leader of the security department, like the back of her hand. With this person's ability, it was impossible for him to convince Wang Liu.
In that case, if it wasn't Blue Heart or Tang Ming, then didn't that leave only Xiao Zheng?
Xiao Zheng sorted out his thoughts and was convinced that he was the biggest suspect. He could not help but start babbling nonsense. "I was supposed to go back to the company with Tang Ming in the afternoon. But halfway through, I received a call from my ex-girlfriend asking for help. She said that she was being bullied by a few hoodlums. That's why I took half a day off. "
"Ex-girlfriend?" Lin Huayin sneered. "You have an ex-girlfriend?"
"Look at what you're saying." Xiao Zheng was not angered by Lin Huayin's belittling of him. Instead, he had a glib tongue. "Even the founder of Xin Ao, Boss Lin, is pestering me. What's an ex-girlfriend to me?"
"Who's pestering you?!" Lin Huayin was so angry that her eyes turned black. "Xiao Zheng, speak clearly!"
"I'm speaking the truth." Xiao Zheng casually lit a cigarette and smiled. "Didn't you pester me to sign a marriage agreement with you yesterday?"
Lin Huayin was embarrassed and angry. "You're not allowed to mention this matter in the future!"
"Fine. I won't mention it if you say so. With regards to this kind of painful memory, personally, I am not too willing to mention it. "Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
Looking at Xiao Zheng's sloppy and unprofessional appearance, Lin Huayin felt a wave of anger in her heart. She secretly thought that this person was useless. But thinking about the person Wang Liu mentioned when he returned the money, Lin Huayin fell into deep thought.
Wang Liu didn't want to say anything, but Lin Huayin was a woman who liked to get to the bottom of things. After confirming that it wasn't Blue Heart who got the money back, she was very interested in the person behind the scenes. But after a few ingenious attempts at beating around the bush, she learned from Wang Liu that it was Xiao Zheng who did it. Frankly speaking, Lin Huayin's impression of Xiao Zheng had a preliminary change. She was also curious about how Xiao Zheng was going to get the money back.
Shortly after, Lin Huayin sent someone to investigate Xiao Zheng's past. This investigation really dug out a lot of Xiao Zheng's past.
Xiao Zheng. Orphan. He came from Pearl City's most famous charity orphanage. His primary school, middle school, and high school were all in Pearl City's most outstanding schools. He was even the most famous person in Pearl City's First High. The honors and awards he received included the entire city and even the entire country. He was a standard example of "other people's children." If the past was stopped here, then even Lin Huayin, who was equally outstanding in her school days, might not be more outstanding than Xiao Zheng. She wasn't even as famous as him.
In the last year of his third year, Xiao Zheng's glorious past took a turn for the worse. He quit school, joined the army, and was fired for gross negligence. He ran around construction sites, fought, and interacted with bad people. In the end, he disappeared. Then, half a year ago, he returned to Pearl City.
In this half a year, he also did many jobs that Lin Huayin didn't even dare to think about. Moving bricks, washing dishes, distributing leaflets, he tried anything that could make a living, but he didn't do it for long.
This was what Xiao Zheng was standing in front of her.
Therefore, Lin Huayin had reason to believe that Wang Liu's initiative to return the money was because of Xiao Zheng's tricks. As for what method he used, Lin Huayin didn't think about it, but it was certainly not legal.
But it was obvious that Xiao Zheng didn't intend to admit it, and even tried to quibble.
Lin Huayin's silence made Xiao Zheng quite bored. He yawned and said, "After being tossed around by you, I'm a little sleepy. You don't have anything else to ask, right? I'm going to sleep, good night. "
Xiao Zheng turned around and walked to the bedroom, but was stopped by Lin Huayin.
"What else?" Xiao Zheng's heart thumped, and he immediately rushed to explain. "These two days, I've been familiarizing myself with the working environment, and I don't have any free time after work. When the weekend comes, I'll go look for a house."
Lin Huayin frowned, and said hesitantly, "You've been a plumber before?"
"How did you know?" Xiao Zheng was surprised at first, and then he showed off. "In the circle, I'm known as the existence of a plumber."
"The shower in my room is broken." Lin Huayin's face was tense.
"No water?" Xiao Zheng asked with a face of certainty.
"No hot water." Lin Huayin said.
"—" Xiao Zheng coughed, and said unhappily. "Since there's water, how can it be that the shower is broken? You're clearly misleading my judgment. "
"Do you know how to fix it?" Lin Huayin was obviously not good at asking for help, and her tone was stiff. "The maintenance worker has already gone off work."
"Didn't you already take a shower?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously. "Then wait for the maintenance worker to fix it tomorrow."
"If you don't know how to fix it, just say it. Why do you have so much nonsense? "Lin Huayin's face darkened, and she turned around to go upstairs.
However, Xiao Zheng followed behind Lin Huayin with a smile, and said, "You go to the bathroom first, I'll let you know when it's fixed."
Lin Huayin paused, and without looking back, she went to the second floor.
Her hair was wet, and her delicate body in her nightgown exuded a strong bath fragrance. Xiao Zheng could see at a glance that Lin Huayin had run out of hot water halfway through her shower. Sigh, women are so pretentious, unlike me, Xiao Zheng, who showers with cold water all year round. Domineering.
