Chapter 439 Someone wants to use me
After returning home, Dai Qing washed her face, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep in seconds.
I'm used to taking a nap at lunch time. If I don't take a nap at the appointed time, my thoughts will be in a mess.
When she opened her eyes, it was three o'clock in the afternoon.
As soon as she sat up, her pager rang. It was Yan Biao, who said he would come over in the afternoon. Dai Qing washed her face and boiled water to make a pot of chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea.
I had just sat under the grape trellis for a while when there was a knock on the door.
After getting permission, Yan Biao pushed the door open and walked in, followed by Hu Zi and Xin Wa.
"Sister Dai, it's been a long time since we last met. You are like a dragon that is hard to find." We sent people over several times, but the door was always guarded by a strict guard and we couldn't even find a single person.
"Hello, Sister Dai." Xinwa and Huzi's eyes lit up when they saw Dai Qing.
"Hello."
Dai Qing looked at the two people looking at her with sparkling eyes and chuckled.
"I went to Hangzhou to attend a folk culture festival a while ago, and then went to the capital. This time I stayed there for a long time."
Dai Qing poured tea for a few people and looked up at Yan Biao's face.
You know what, it's really a case of my heart being moved and my true love has appeared.
Moreover, the Palace of Wealth is still bright and rosy, indicating abundant wealth.
"I heard from Secretary Yang yesterday that you are getting married, or is it love at first sight?"
Hearing Dai Qing's teasing, Yan Biao laughed.
"I'm old enough, and I happened to see someone I like, so I decided to get married early so I don't have to worry about it later."
Now that he has money, getting married is no longer a burden for him.
If he could get his wife home sooner, he could make money with peace of mind.
Besides, he is not a romantic person and doesn't know how to be sentimental. If he finds someone he likes, he will just marry her home, throw some money at her and let her spend it however she wants.
Anyway, it’s better to keep the benefits within the family.
He doesn't like to be fickle, and he doesn't like those women to throw themselves at him, staring at his wallet and trying every means to take money out of it. The thought of it makes him feel upset.
Dai Qing looked at the change in his expression and couldn't help but chuckle.
"It seems you have met someone you like this time."
"Sister Dai, please forgive me for making fun of you. I was born in poverty. Even if I have some money, I know what I can do. Our ancestors always said that a man should be independent at the age of 30. I also want to get married and start a family before I turn 30, so that my life will not be in vain."
After all these years of hard work, what he loves most is money, nothing else.
As Yan Biao spoke, he took out a big red invitation from his suit pocket and handed it to Dai Qing with both hands.
"The wedding is scheduled for half a month. Sister Dai, please condescend to come."
Dai Qing took it, opened it and looked at it, then raised her eyebrows. The wedding was scheduled to be held at the Ruida Hotel. Isn’t this Zhang Baoping’s territory?
"It's a good place. I'll be there on time."
"Thank you, Sister Dai, for your kindness. You are the first seat at the main table."
Hearing Dai Qing's agreement, Yan Biao laughed.
Main table?
Dai Qing looked at him in surprise and waved her hand.
"Just arrange a seat anywhere. You don't have to sit at the main table. The main thing is that I'm not familiar with your relatives and elders, and I don't have much to talk about."
The most important thing is that it affects her family.
"Don't worry, Sister Dai. The people at the main table are all my friends. No relatives are invited."
Yan Biao looked at Dai Qing and frowned.
"When I was wandering around in society, none of my so-called family members cared about me. No one cared whether I was hungry or beaten to death."
"Don't be afraid of Sister Dai laughing at you. I'm not that kind of person. On the contrary, I still hold grudges. They didn't care about my life or death back then, and now I don't want to recognize them anymore. It's easier for us to live our own lives."
Listening to Yan Biao's tone, Dai Qing nodded to show her understanding.
There is a saying that goes, you discarded me like a worn-out shoe back then, and now I am out of your reach.
I'm talking about people like Yan Biao.
Although handling the matter in this way will certainly make relatives and friends criticize you for being heartless, it can avoid internal friction and is the simplest and most convenient way to deal with the matter.
"Oh, by the way, sister, Dong Zhen called me yesterday and invited me to attend a meeting in the capital. The Dong family's company has recently expanded a lot of business, and all partners are invited to discuss and learn about the new business."
Dong Zhen was a difficult person to get along with, and he was also a powerful figure in the capital, so he didn't dare to provoke him easily.
After much thought, I decided to ask Sister Dai to help me check it.
"You said Dong Zhen took the initiative to invite you?" Dai Qing was surprised.
"Yes, he called me personally." He was also shocked when he suddenly received a call from Dong Zhen.
Who is Dong Zhen? He once went to great lengths to meet him. If someone gave him a few minutes of his time, he would bend over and express his gratitude for a long time.
He even had to put on a smile even to the housekeeper beside Dong Zhen.
Now when I suddenly received his call, my first thought was that he had dialed the wrong number.
In the past six months, he has opened two stores in the city and is very busy every day. He has not been on a business trip for a long time.
To be honest, Dong Zhen's condescending demeanor was already engraved in his mind, but the tone of voice on the phone yesterday, as if the two were brothers who had been separated for many years, made him feel uncomfortable.
There must be something wrong when something is abnormal. This is the experience he has gained from years of hard work.
So, without saying anything, he came directly to Sister Dai to get his doubts answered.
Listening to Yan Biao's narration, Dai Qing narrowed her eyes, thought about it for a moment, and then understood.
"Dong Zhen has indeed expanded a lot of business recently. I have also learned a lot during my time in the capital..."
Since Dong Zhen took the initiative to find him, Dai Qing did not hide it and directly told him about the recent situation in the capital.
Then he looked at him with a serious tone.
"The water in the capital is a bit deep, intertwined and complicated. You know Dong Zhen, he is cunning and always puts profit above everything else. When you cooperate with him, you must always be vigilant, lest he drags you into a pit from which you cannot climb out."
Dong Zhen is a man who never does anything without a profit. If he can take the initiative to help Yan Biao, it must be related to me.
Her connections here include Tang Zi and Xing Zhou.
Dong Zhen tried to beat around the bush in order to have some contact with Tang Zi and the others.
Fortunately, Tang Zi and his friends are not just idlers, and there are some things that Dong Zhen cannot get his way just by wanting to get involved.
She was still quite relieved about this.
Yan Biao listened, and was shocked at the same time, looking at Dai Qing with surprise.
"After listening to Sister Dai's words, I suddenly understood."
It turns out that someone wants to contact the person behind Sister Dai through him. It is really well-intentioned. However, he has never met the person behind Sister Dai. Is it necessary to go through such a big circle?
Yan Biao thought so in his heart and asked the same question.
"Sister Dai's abilities are there, and those people respect you, so they will associate with you. But to put it bluntly, I am just a ruffian, and only Sister Dai thinks highly of me and gives me some advice. I am not on the same path as those people at all."
The key is that people don't even know who he is.
