Chapter 148 Do You Want to Inquire?
Wang Jiandang glanced at Chen Huiping, paused and asked, "You won't scold me again in front of Xiao Zhao, right?"
Chen Huiping chuckled. "No scolding today! Stop being so weird, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by Xiao Zhao?"
Wang Jiandang then laughed and looked at Zhao Xiaojing, "I have to make three rules with her first, otherwise she will scold me again if she talks about other people's business!
Xiao Zhao, I continued. But, the people on this project are far from home, and they get paid a lot. Whether they will spend all their money on you is one thing. The construction site is miserable, and they are lonely. They will make more or less mistakes that men love to make, which is another matter.
Some people just make mistakes for a moment and don't mind eating and drinking twice. Some people have a wife and a child in each place, so it's hard to say. Of course, this has a lot to do with the person's own character. Some people are as self-disciplined as me, but they can't avoid eating and drinking, and they still have to trouble their wives to take care of them when they get home. I'm not bragging, but after all, the environment where mistakes are made is there, and it's too easy to lose your mind. "
Wang Jiandang's words were straightforward and honest. Zhao Xiaojing nodded gratefully, but her heart sank at the same time.
These words are truly from the heart, without any water in them.
Before her mother died, her third aunt Dong Mei heard that her third uncle had an illegitimate son outside, but she investigated privately several times and found nothing. She didn't even know how much her third uncle was paid.
In her previous life, until her death, her third aunt was still investigating. She went to the construction site several times under the pretext of visiting her third uncle, but she was unfamiliar with the place and the surrounding environment, so she found nothing and had no way of telling whether the illegitimate child was real or fake.
Now after hearing what Wang Jiandang said, Zhao Xiaojing thought of how her third uncle was always boasting and bragging about how many people he led on the construction site, but when it came to money, he always said that he didn't earn anything and didn't give much to her third aunt. She immediately felt that this was almost true.
“Some honest people take their wives with them wherever they go, and arrange a job for them at the construction site. The two of them go out together in all weathers, and this helps avoid this problem.
But in this case, let alone whether the children can be taken care of by their parents, even if my wife goes with me, she will just suffer together, and she will have to give up her social circle and career completely. "Wang Jiandang raised his eyebrows and continued.
"What Uncle Wang said was about the older sister I met at the construction site. She originally opened a breakfast shop, but because she accompanied her husband to the construction site, she closed the shop and went to work as a helper in the kitchen of the construction site. In order to maintain her small family, she sacrificed her career." Zhao Xiaojing said, and she felt even more deeply when she thought of Geng Mingyan's entanglement and pain.
"Yes, you will understand as soon as I tell you these, and I don't need to explain them more. You are a beautiful and young girl, and you can choose to set up a stall and rent such a big kitchen. It shows that you are ambitious. Moreover, you have good skills and will not worry about development. Why do you have to get married and sacrifice your career?" Wang Jiandang said.
Zhao Xiaojing nodded. She was not anxious about her own affairs. She had experienced two failed marriages in her previous life, so she had no expectations in this regard. But the matter of her third uncle made her a little worried.
She died early in her previous life. When her third uncle retired, he was rehired and still didn't come home. I don't know what happened to her marriage, which was in name only.
"Uncle Wang."
"Ok?"
"...You must be working very hard, traveling to so many provinces." Zhao Xiaojing turned her head away when she was about to finish her words.
She originally thought that Wang Jiandang said that he often went to Henan Province and was familiar with leaders of all sizes, so she wanted to ask if he knew her third uncle Zhou Jianye and inquire about it indirectly, but when the words came to her lips, she felt it was inappropriate.
I haven't talked to my third aunt yet, and I don't know if she minds if I ask about her affairs rashly.
"Oh, Xiao Zhao, your question really hits the nail on the head!" The three of them had almost finished their lunch, and Chen Huiping wiped her mouth and smiled.
"It's hard work. On the busiest day, I went to Mingcheng, Henan Province in the morning, then to Licheng, Shaanxi Province at noon, and came back to Jiangcheng in the evening! Although these cities are close to each other, after all, I traveled to three provinces in one day!" Wang Jiandang said with pride and exaggerated eyes.
Mingcheng, Henan Province. Now Zhao Xiaojing knew what was going on. Wang Jiandang should know Zhou Jianye. Zhou Jianye was also in Mingcheng. I heard that he was working on a larger construction site.
"Uncle Wang, this is what young people call special forces work. Can it be done so quickly?" Zhao Xiaojing asked as she moved her chair to make room for Chen Huiping who was going to the bathroom.
"Those reservoirs happened to be built a long time ago, but the local company had been in arrears with the final payment. I just measured the actual data, came back to modify the contract, and calculated the accounts. It was very quick."
"Let's go back? Stop chatting with Xiao Zhao, she is still doing business!" Chen Huiping came in from outside and shouted at the door of the private room.
The three of them got up and left. Zhao Xiaojing went to the front desk first to pay the bill, but Chen Huiping said she had already paid on the pretext of going to the bathroom.
"I knew you were going to do something like this, that's why I came here early to settle it! Your uncle and aunt invited you to dinner, why do they want you to give them money?" Chen Huiping pulled Zhao Xiaojing away.
After returning to the kitchen, Zhao Xiaojing thought for a while and decided to call Dong Mei first to ask her opinion. After all, it was her family affair, so she had to ask for her consent before asking about it.
Dong Mei hesitated after hearing this. "Xiao Jing, are you familiar with your landlord? Do you know him well?
It would be great if I could find someone who knows the situation. I have nothing to hide from you. You know my family situation. I just don't know what your relationship is like. I'm afraid if this person is more familiar with Zhou Jianye, will it alert him?"
"I am familiar with the landlady and have met her many times, but this is the first time I have met my uncle. I was careless and did not think of this." Zhao Xiaojing said truthfully.
"Now that you've grown up and become successful, you can help me. If your mother knew... oh.
There is no rush for this matter. It has been so many years, and it cannot be solved in a short time. I have been grinding for so many years. "Dong Mei said uninterested.
"Then take your time. Let's wait until my uncle and I have more contact. Third aunt, don't be discouraged. Although this is the first day we met, my uncle is quite honest to say this to me. We'll ask him again when we have the chance." Hearing Dong Mei's tone across the phone, Zhao Xiaojing knew that she must be frowning and looking gloomy, so she hurriedly said a few words to comfort her.
I remember that when Dong Mei talked about this matter with her mother, she was very indignant and furious. I didn't expect that after so many years of negotiation, the third aunt who was known to me as being quick to explode and decisive had become so depressed.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xiaojing had a complicated expression.
