Chapter 1009

Although the struggle between Lin Family Mining and the new Xinmao Mining of Xinlan made Zhao Desan feel a bit embarrassed to face her, after all, the two of them had experienced extremely intimate physical contact, and there was a feeling of being able to see through each other. Therefore, when facing her, Zhao Desan quickly appeared open and aboveboard, whispering, "Sister Zhang, let's find a place where there's no one to talk." As he spoke, he walked directly upstairs.

Zhang Hui contemptuously slanted those phoenix eyes and followed him upstairs.

Zhao Desan led Zhang Hui all the way to the rooftop of the building. In winter, this place was windy and too cold, so no one would come here all day, making it a safe place. Once Zhang Hui followed him up, Zhao Desan turned his head and smiled at her with ill intentions, saying, "Sister Zhang, we really have quite a connection; I didn't expect to run into you here."

Zhang Hui gave a huff of laughter and said, "I think so too. I really didn't expect that Section Chief Liu of our Yuyang City Coal Bureau would be so successful wherever he goes. It's been half a year, and now you're working at the Provincial Construction Commission. Congratulations on your promotion."

Looking at the slightly mocking smile on Zhang Hui's face and listening to her stinging words, Zhao Desan knew that this young woman had resentment in her heart. She had actively offered herself to him for the sake of the Lin family's coal mining business, but she hadn't expected that in the end, it would be a total loss, with no benefits gained. "What promotion? I've been demoted," Zhao Desan said with a smile, appearing indifferent. "When I was in Yuyang City, I was at least a section chief at the Coal Bureau. Here, I'm at my most miserable."

Zhang Hui looked at him with bewitching eyes and said with sarcasm, "Then, Section Chief Liu, why did you do it in the first place if you knew it would turn out like this? Weren't you doing just fine at the Yuyang City Coal Bureau with a bright future? Why did you suddenly run to the provincial level?" Zhang Hui had also heard from her father-in-law, Lin Dafa, that Zhao Desan left the Coal Bureau because he had offended Bureau Chief Zhang Ailing and Deputy Bureau Chief Wang Anguo, and was suppressed to the point where he couldn't stand his ground at the Coal Bureau. She never expected that this guy would successfully enter a lucrative department at the provincial level again.

Meeting again today, Zhao Desan didn't want to bring up the past. After all, ever since he felt that he was just a chess piece in Ma Lan's hands to be manipulated, he regretted being too impulsive and offending so many people, which delayed his own bright future. So he didn't want to mention those things either, chuckled, and said, "Sister Zhang, you know the reason, so why talk about those things?"

Zhang Hui gave a contemptuous smile, looked at him bewitchingly, and said, "I think the leaders of the Construction Commission probably don't know about the glorious deeds you did in Yuyang, right? Aren't you afraid that I'll tell your leaders about what you did in Yuyang?"

Zhao Desan never fought a battle he wasn't sure of. When Zhang Hui said this, he had a flash of inspiration and came up with a way to keep her in check. But he didn't rush to show it, instead pretending to be very scared and saying, "Sister Zhang, I'm actually really scared. I'm afraid you'll tell our leaders about my past. I'm so scared."

Seeing his scared appearance, Zhang Hui gave a provocative laugh and said, "Since you're afraid that I'll tell your leaders about the good things you did before, then if our Lin family needs your help to make things convenient for real estate development in Xijing in the future, I think you should know what to do, right?"
