Chapter 849 I Will Enjoy It
The sign of Xingteng Restaurant lit up in the night, neon lights outlining the outline of the building, and the colorful lights made the stone road in front of the door flicker.
Teng Zijing stood on the steps, holding an unlit cigarette between his fingertips, watching the taillights of Jiang Chengyu's business car gradually merge into the traffic in the distance until they became a blurry dot of light.
The shock at the dinner table just now was still surging in my heart. The value of the land in Haikou area, and Jiang Chengyu's firm words "As long as I am satisfied, we can close the deal on the spot",
And Jiang Shuo's childish words "you bet on the right treasure" while gnawing on the lobster kept running through his mind like a kaleidoscope.
The evening breeze blew past with a hint of coolness. He took a deep breath and was about to turn around when a waiter in a black uniform with a silver badge on his collar approached lightly, bowed slightly, and spoke in a very low voice:
"Master Jing, Qi Haoyu has booked another room. He brought Chang Haihe's adopted daughter, Chang Miaomiao, to the old place, room 9078."
Teng Zijing frowned, and the relaxation in his body disappeared instantly, replaced by an unquestionable dominance.
He tilted his head, his eyes sharp as a hawk: "The same place? Do they come here often?"
The waiter lowered his eyes and spoke in a more cautious tone: "Yes, since the last time I had dinner with the head of the "CY Rongchuang" department,
Qi Haoyu has a six-month premium room card here, and for the past three months, he's been bringing Miss Chang to 9078 at least two nights a week."
Teng Zijing was silent for a moment, then tapped the cigarette box lightly with his knuckles, and the tobacco fell into his palm.
He walked towards the door of the restaurant and said in a cold voice, "Come on, let's talk inside." Before he finished speaking, he had walked through the automatic door and strode across the lobby.
The light from the crystal chandelier shattered into a golden rain behind him. The waiters passing by stopped and lowered their heads, even breathing a little lighter.
They walked straight into the exclusive elevator. With a ding, they reached the top floor, and the door slid open slowly. Teng Zijing walked in first, followed by the waiter.
This office is over 100 square meters, with a full wall of floor-to-ceiling windows facing the city night view. On one side of the window is an ebony desk with a mirror-like surface, reflecting the dome chandelier on the ceiling.
Behind the desk, a huge replica of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" hangs on the wall. The green mountains and waters flow with majestic charm under the warm light, silently demonstrating the owner's taste and aura.
Deng Zhouyi had already been waiting at the tea table in the corner, with white porcelain tea sets flying in his hands.
Seeing Teng Zijing come in, he raised his hand and poured boiling water into the purple clay teapot. His movements were smooth and fluid - scalding the pot, washing the tea leaves, and waking the leaves. Tea mist rose up, carrying the mellow aroma of aged Pu'er tea.
Teng Zijing walked straight to the tea table and sat down, his bony fingers resting on the edge of the table, his fingertips stroking the cool wood grain.
Deng Zhouyi divided the tea from a fairness cup into tea tasting cups and pushed them in front of Teng Zijing. The amber tea had an oily luster under the lamp.
"Ripe Pu'er, freshly woken up, to relieve the greasiness." He whispered.
Teng Zijing picked up the teacup but didn't drink. His eyes fell on the curling tea mist. After a while, he spoke, his voice carrying a subtle solemnity: "Qi Haoyu has been too quiet lately."
He traced circles on the rim of the cup with his fingertips. "Chang Haihe just had a setback with the port project, and yet his adopted daughter is having frequent private meetings with Qi Haoyu. There must be something fishy going on."
Deng Zhouyi stopped what he was doing and looked up. "Do you need more personnel? We've only arranged for surveillance from the perimeter."
"Not enough." Teng Zijing said firmly, leaning forward slightly, with a fierce look in his eyes.
"From tonight on, record Qi Haoyu's every move - who he meets, what he says, even if he goes to the convenience store to buy a bottle of water, everything must be recorded.
If you're short on manpower, transfer some from the security department and assign me three shifts to keep a 24/ eye on him and Chang Miaomiao. Don't miss a single detail."
He paused, then placed the teacup heavily on the table, spilling a little tea onto the celadon cup holder.
"I always feel that this Qi guy has bad intentions. Instead of waiting for him to jump out, it's better to cast the net first."
The waiter stood aside, bowed straight and replied, "Yes, Master Jing, I'll arrange it right away."
Teng Zijing waved his hand and turned his gaze back to the lights outside the window. The night was as dark as ink, and he knew that
Some undercurrents are quietly surging beneath this calm, and if we are not careful, they may cause huge waves.
After the waiter left, only Teng Zijing and Deng Zhouyi were left in the office.
The purple clay teapot on the tea table was still slightly hot, and the aged aroma of Pu'er tea mixed with the faint sandalwood in the air spread in the silence.
Deng Zhouyi refilled Teng Zijing's half cup of tea and whispered, "Qi Haoyu and Chang Haihe's adopted daughter have suddenly become so close. This is no secret in the circle.
But he's been bringing Chang Miaomiao here so frequently lately, which is indeed unusual. Room 9078 is the view suite you reserved specifically for me, with excellent soundproofing. They chose this room because they probably said something they didn't want to be heard."
Teng Zijing tapped the edge of the tea table with his fingertips, making a regular, light sound, as if he was thinking about something.
"A batch of goods purchased by Changhaihe went moldy at the port, and the capital chain was half broken.
His adopted daughter, Chang Miaomiao, may look delicate and weak, but she is actually the sharpest knife in his hand. It was this woman's skills that helped him acquire the land west of the city.
He sneered, "Qi Haoyu is An Jinsong's assistant and military advisor. He has no dealings with the Chang family.
Now that they're so close at this critical moment, Chang Miaomiao is probably trying to get something from Qi Haoyu, or...they're planning to set a trap for someone."
Deng Zhouyi frowned slightly. "Should we set up surveillance around 9078 right now? Have the floor attendants keep an eye out for any movement?"
"No need." Teng Zijing picked up the teacup and took a sip. The richness of the tea suppressed some of his irritability.
"Xingteng Restaurant is my territory. If they dare to plot here, they must be prepared to be overheard by me.
But we can't alert them now, let the brothers keep an eye on them first, record their whereabouts, the people they contact,
Even the drinks and snacks ordered were recorded every time, as there were always hidden tricks in the details, and they would eventually reveal themselves.”
He stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, his fingertips sliding across the cold glass. The neon lights outside the window flickered in his pupils.
"Jiang Chengyu has just finalized the Haikou project with us. At this critical juncture, I don't want any accidents.
If Qi Haoyu dares to have any evil intentions, whether he is targeting the Chang family or others, and falls into my hands, he must be prepared to bear the consequences."
Deng Zhouyi nodded and replied, "I'll go get the security department's personnel. They're all veterans who have served you for many years, so they're both tight-lipped and clean. Also, there's a backup monitoring device in the ventilation duct at 9078. Do you want it..."
"Not for now." Teng Zijing interrupted him, his tone becoming heavier. "Eavesdropping is a last resort. Don't do anything unless it's absolutely necessary. I want them to reveal their true intentions, not for us to do it ourselves."
He turned around and his eyes fell on Deng Zhouyi, "Just have someone keep an eye on him. If there's anything unusual, report it to me immediately.
In addition, check Qi Haoyu's recent project orders, especially steel bars and cement. Although the goods purchased by the port of Changhai River are moldy,
But he still has an unfinished resort that he's been trying to sell, so maybe he's thinking about this."
Deng Zhouyi quickly wrote it down in the memo on his phone and said, "By the way, I just received a message from the finance department.
This means the down payment for the Haikou plot can be transferred tomorrow morning. Do I need to confirm the corporate account with Jiang Chengyu?
"No need. The legal department has already prepared the account information of Zidong International." Teng Zijing walked to the desk and sat down.
He casually flipped through the documents on the table, but his eyes did not focus on the words. "Jiang Chengyu looks cold,
In fact, they pay more attention to "rules" than anyone else. Since they have reached an agreement, they will not care about these trivial matters.
As for us, we need to speed up the early planning of the Haikou project and send our team to conduct on-site surveys next week. We can’t delay any further.”
As he was speaking, Deng Zhouyi's phone vibrated. He glanced at the message and looked up at Teng Zijing and said:
"The guy who's keeping watch downstairs sent a message saying that Room 9078 ordered a bottle of 82 Lafite and a dinner for two. Looks like they're going to have a sweet night."
Teng Zijing raised his eyebrows, a playful smile on his lips: "You do know how to enjoy it.
Remember, when they leave, ask the parking attendant to 'accidentally' bump into Qi Haoyu's car. It doesn't have to be too serious, just a scratch will be ok.
I want to see whether Mr. Qi is more anxious to protect the car or the person in front of the beauty. "
Deng Zhouyi understood what he meant and left immediately.
The office became quiet again. Teng Zijing leaned back in the leather chair, gazing at the painting "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" on the wall with a deep gaze.
As the night deepens, the lights of Xingteng Restaurant remain bright, like a dormant giant beast, quietly watching everyone who enters and leaves.
In room 9078, the light is soft and ambiguous. A small round dining table is placed near the glass window with a wide view.
On the table, a bottle of 82 Lafite stood quietly, the deep red wine in the crystal bottle emitting a warm luster.
Next to it is an exquisite set meal for two, the food is attractive in color and exudes a faint aroma.
Chang Miaomiao sat opposite Qi Haoyu, the candlelight casting flickering shadows on her face, which kept changing with the flickering of the candlelight.
Sometimes the smile illuminates the corners of her eyes, sometimes it hides the curve of her lips, and flows unsteadily on her fair skin, adding a bit of hazy charm.
Her bright eyes, as if filled with starlight, stared straight at Qi Haoyu without blinking, with a bit of coquettishness and expectation.
Her red lips looked crystal clear under the light. She raised the wine glass slightly and took a sip of the red wine in the glass. Her movements were elegant and charming.
When Qi Haoyu saw her like this, his eyes were instantly attracted, as if he was completely lost in this gentle atmosphere.
Chang Miaomiao put down her wine glass and whispered softly, her voice as soft as a feather: "Thank you, dear, for the candlelight dinner you prepared. I love it."
Qi Haoyu had a flattering look on his face, with a bit of frivolity, he reached out and touched Chang Miaomiao's leg, saying:
"Baby, as long as you like, we can have candlelight dinner together every night from now on, okay?"
Chang Miaomiao gently dodged and said with a hint of resentment in her tone, "You just know how to joke with me. Do you really care about me?"
"How could I not take it to heart?" Qi Haoyu quickly explained with a smile on his face.
"Look, you have always been on the top of my heart! Hehe..." As he said that, he held Chang Miaomiao's hand tightly and leaned forward slightly, as if he wanted to get closer and kiss her.
Chang Miaomiao stood up at the right moment and said coquettishly, "You only know how to bully people. How are you doing with the thing I told you to do?"
Seeing this, Qi Haoyu took out a card from his pocket, waved it in front of her, and said proudly, "It's all here!"
Chang Miaomiao's eyes lit up instantly, and she quickly approached Qi Haoyu and snatched the card from his hand.
She kissed him on the cheek happily and said joyfully, "Haoyu, you are so nice. I love you so much!"
The atmosphere in the room became more and more subtle at this moment. On the big white bed, an ambiguous factor quietly permeated the air.
