Chapter 14: Confidentiality work must be placed first

  After finishing breakfast, Zhang Sen tidied up and bid farewell to Ling Ziwu sisters with Ma Pei, and went to work.

  Driving the car, Ma Pei smiled and asked: "Not driving yourself, I guess you're not trying to figure out what's the difference between your 'Lanbird' and my 'BMW', right? Don't play dumb, just say it straight."

  Zhang Sen smiled: "One night didn't see, your IQ has increased? Then I won't beat around the bush, let's just say it straight. What plans do you have for Vivian and her sister, or what do you think of Ling Ziyu? Are you really going to let her work at your company?"

  Ma Pei glanced at him and replied lightly, "I called someone last night to help them find a house. At most, it'll take a week, before Auntie comes back, they can move out. I think if they live in too luxurious a place, they might feel uncomfortable, so I asked someone to check if there are any vacant rooms in 'Xin Yuan Xiao Qu'. The environment is not bad, and it's an economical house. Almost all the residents there are white-collar workers with slightly higher incomes, and the people around them are ordinary citizens, so they'll get along better."

  "I originally wanted to give it directly to them, but thinking about Vivian's personality, she wouldn't accept it. So I decided to buy it and then rent it out to them, just a nominal rent would be fine, this way she can also save some money for Kaier's medical treatment."

  Zhang Sen smiled and said, "You think about them quite thoroughly, don't you? Even her self-esteem is taken into consideration. Stop beating around the bush, you know I didn't mean that, what I care about isn't where they live."

  Ma Pei glanced at Zhang Sen: "What do you mean? What problem are you concerned about? Is it Vivian's job? I said before that I wouldn't interfere, and at most provide her with materials to let her take the exam herself. If she passes, it's her own ability, and if she doesn't pass our company's exam, I'll find another job for her. In short, I won't let her worry about living expenses."

  "Ma Pei..." Zhang Sen shouted at him with patience.

  "Are you in a hurry? Do you know, buddy, I'm most afraid that you'll call me by my full name, which means nothing good will happen. Alright, alright, I surrender." Ma Pei laughed and said, "I admit it, I have feelings for Weiwei, is this okay? Weren't you always advising me to 'transfer my affections' from Meiyu? Isn't this what you wanted?"

  Zhang Sen let out a sigh, leaned back in his seat, and looked worried: "I was afraid of this! Pei Shao, although I've always hoped to forget Mei Yu and have new feelings. But this time, I don't agree."

  Looking at Zhang Sen's expression, Ma Pei burst out laughing: "You're really suitable for working in the Women's Federation, look at your pitiful and sympathetic expression! Are you afraid that I have a good impression of Weiwei because she looks exactly like Mei Yu? To be honest, there is some reason for this, but you can't deny that Weiwei has her own charm, and her personality of being cold to outsiders and warm to loved ones is exactly the type I like. Alright, don't worry about me anymore, I have my own judgment. By the way, you're not young anymore, it's time for you to find a wife too, stop making Auntie worry about you all day."

  Zhang Sen hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to share his suspicions with Ma Pei. After some thought, he decided not to mention it for now, as he was only suspicious and couldn't confirm anything yet. He would wait until he had evidence before speaking up. Sighing, he said: "You just be careful, if it's really a case of transference, it wouldn't be fair to either you or Weiwei. After Father got into trouble, if not for your help mediating, I'd probably still be under investigation now. You could say, you're my benefactor. Putting that aside, Ma Pei, you know I don't have many close friends, and you're one of them! I don't want to see you get hurt."

  He looked at Zhang Sen in surprise, and Ma Pei laughed: "What's wrong with you today? I've never seen you so downcast. Are you stimulated? I said it a long time ago, I believe that Uncle's matter has nothing to do with you. But one person believing is useless, we need to make everyone believe this fact. Don't forget the military order you made when I guaranteed for you at the bureau, you said you believed that behind Uncle's actions there was a conspiracy, and you had to investigate it within two years! It's been exactly one year since Uncle's incident, how is your investigation going? Have you achieved anything?"

  Mentioning this, Zhang Sen couldn't help but frown, his handsome face full of gloom: "Can't say there's an achievement, can only say there's a glimmer of hope, and progress. I've already gotten hold of a clue. If I'm not mistaken, the key to opening this door has already been delivered into my hands!"

  "Really?" Ma Pei-xin exclaimed with joy, "I knew you'd be able to do it! What's going on? Can you tell me about it? Oh, never mind, secrecy is top priority, it's better that I, an outsider, don't know."

  Zhang Sen also laughed: "What I appreciate most about you is that you never ask what shouldn't be asked, and you would never do anything to put friends in a difficult position. Just wait for my good news, Pei Shao."

  "May I have the honor of taking this as a compliment rather than sarcasm? Alright, Arsen, your stop has arrived, and I won't get off. I believe you'll have a lot to do once you start work. I also need to go to the company, having been away for several days, who knows what those guys have messed up for me. Give me a call when you're free, want me to pick you up after work? No? Alright, I might be busy today and won't come over tonight. Oh, by the way, tell Vivi about the house thing when you get back, just say I'm helping them rent a place, don't mention that I'm planning to buy it down. Also, regarding the recruitment materials, I'll send them over to her when I have time."

  Zhang Sen smiled and nodded, got off the car, watched Ma Pei leave, turned around, looked up at the majestic Public Security Bureau, calmed himself down, and walked in quickly.
