Chapter 732 - Shi Peng Was a ‘Spy’ (1/2)

“Hahaha…” s.h.i.+ Peng was amused. Certainly, he had received much inspiration from Qiao Nan. This was a fact that he did not deny. “When can you let the two children feel a.s.sured? Don’t tell me you want to let your son and Qiao Nan continue to keep their relations.h.i.+p in the dark.”

“Does it make a difference? That lad of mine is already enjoying himself.” Zhai Yaohui was not anxious at all. “Qiao Nan is only in her third year of senior high school. If she really goes to college, she will need at least four years to graduate, not including doctorate and master’s studies. Telling them so soon is not meaningful. Her current mission is to do well in her studies.”

Fortunately, Qiao Nan had been clear of her priorities all this while. Despite being with Zhai Sheng for over a year, he had never seen Qiao Nan’s grades slip.

Having seen Qiao Nan’s self-discipline and self-control, Zhai Yaohui was more than satisfied with her.

s.h.i.+ Peng glanced at the time. “Alright, I’ve already reported the situation to you. How you wish to manage this is the business of your Zhai family. I’m going to bed.”

“Okay.” After a short acknowledgment, Zhai Yaohui hung up the phone before s.h.i.+ Peng.

At the sound of the beeping tone, s.h.i.+ Peng was speechless as he looked at the phone. He then hung it up properly.

s.h.i.+ Qing, who had been enduring for some time, finally could not take it anymore. She grabbed her father’s hands and asked, “Dad, what’s happening? Why did you tell Chief Zhai about Qiao Nan’s matters? You betrayed Qiao Nan?!”

“Child, don’t talk nonsense. Am I betraying her? I am helping her.” s.h.i.+ Peng looked at his daughter from the corners of his eyes. It was fine that she was not as smart as Qiao Nan but she did not even know how to talk nicely. “Zhai Yaohui knows that our house is situated near the house of the Qiao family. He thus specifically asked me to observe Qiao Nan.”

“Are you sure this is a request and not an order?” s.h.i.+ Qing expressed her doubt.

“…” It was so annoying when his daughter’s words were sharp. “Zhai Yaohui is paying so much attention to Qiao Nan. It can only mean that he’s quite satisfied with her. That’s why he wishes to have a deeper understanding of Qiao Nan and confirm her character. What I did is not considered as a betrayal but a helping hand. As long as Zhai Yaohui finds out more about the outstanding qualities of Qiao Nan, will anything go wrong for Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng?”

If Zhai Yaohui did not take a liking to Qiao Nan, he would not even spare this effort.

Just take Wei De’s matter as an example, Zhai Yaohui only needed to express that work should be separated from personal matters. All the little tricks up Wei De’s sleeves had been destroyed by Zhai Yaohui.

Zhai Yaohui and s.h.i.+ Peng had seen many people like Wei De.

Wei De wished to rise in the ranks but he did not even have the opportunity to try now. This was the biggest punishment for him.

It was thus true that, sometimes, people like Zhai Yaohui could make a person disappear before his eyes with just one word if he could not see eye to eye with him.

“Dad, you’re saying that Chief Zhai wished to have a deeper understanding of Qiao Nan because he starts approving of her?” If that was the case, it was good news.

“Otherwise? Do you think I have so much spare time to make frequent calls to Zhai Yaohui and tell him about Qiao Nan?” He was a busy man who found twenty-four hours a day insufficient. How could he waste his time to report to Zhai Yaohui about Qiao Nan? “I’m helping them so that Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng can take some shortcuts.”
