Chapter 1123

The office, which had stopped heating after the New Year, was filled with a cold chill, but at this moment, it was overflowing with warmth. Looking at Lan Mei, who was nestled in his arms with a shy expression after performing this very unusual act for him, Zhao Desan's heart was filled with tenderness. He stroked her beautiful hair while murmuring: "Don't worry, Section Chief Lan, I will be responsible for you. As long as you are willing, marry me!" Zhao Desan knew clearly that Lan Mei being able to have these things that exceeded normal male-female relationships with him was already the limit of her psychological endurance. He knew what kind of woman she was; at the very least, on the surface, it was impossible for her to lower her status to marry her male subordinate. This could be seen from her reaction at the beginning of the day; she was afraid of people in the unit gossiping and afraid of her reputation being ruined. That was why Zhao Desan dared to say such things he hadn't even thought about himself.

Whether it was because of shyness or because of Zhao Desan's words, Lan Mei's face was already covered in tears. She wiped the tears from her cheeks with her hand and said with a face full of happiness: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, I am satisfied with just these words from you."

"I'm not joking!" Zhao Desan said, deliberately appearing very serious.

"I know you're not joking, but it's impossible for the two of us. The gap is too big, and… and Zheng Tulu certainly won't watch us continue to associate in secret like this." A trace of sorrow flashed across Lan Mei's face. It was exactly as Zhao Desan had guessed.

"Why? Could it be that he'll eat us?" Zhao Desan's fearless spirit rose again.

"Sigh, Comrade Xiao Zhao, actually, the matter of Zheng Tulu bullying me last time seems to have passed, but you still don't understand his character. That man is too cunning. Take the matter in Sanya, for example. Do you know why he let Ma Debang come up to call us down for a drink? I've thought about it carefully; it must have been a move he made after seeing us that day, calculated and deep. This is actually a good move that kills two birds with one stone. First, he wants to shift the conflict between him and us onto Ma Debang. On the other hand, he wants to take the opportunity to intensify the conflict with Ma Debang, and then wants to remove Ma Debang logically, so that you have no backer in the high-level leadership of the Construction Committee to leak information." Lan Mei thought carefully about what happened that day, and based on her own understanding of the matter, she expressed her own views.

Listening to Lan Mei's narration, Zhao Desan felt a chill run down his spine, and he thought to himself: Grandma! It turns out Zheng Tulu is far from as simple as I thought!

"Therefore, we absolutely cannot be too reckless under Zheng Tulu's nose now, understand? If he catches us together repeatedly, I estimate he will definitely do something bad in secret. Maybe we will die a miserable death." Lan Mei said with a serious face.

"Is it really that serious? At worst, I'll just stop working at the Construction Committee!" Zhao Desan still looked indifferent, because with Su Qing supporting him, he didn't have to worry at all about what that old guy Zheng Tulu could do to him.

"Yes, you have connections, and you can be arranged a good job by your cousin wherever you go. But I'm miserable. I have no connections. A divorced woman, once I leave here, what else can I do?" When Lan Mei said this, she couldn't help but shudder, her mood somewhat low.

Zhao Desan realized that what Section Chief Lan said had been carefully considered. Seeing her mood was very low, he said in a very manly way: "Section Chief Lan, don't worry. As long as I'm here, no one will ever think of bullying you again."

Although Lan Mei knew very well that Zhao Desan's words were just to comfort her, her heart still felt warm. She casually took Zhao Desan's coat to wipe away her tear stains, shook her head, and said with a smile on her face: "Alright, let's talk about the future later. You should go back to work quickly, otherwise, if someone catches us, it won't be a glorious thing."

Reminded by Lan Mei, Zhao Desan also realized this problem, but his first reaction in his brain was to know what Section Chief Lan was thinking. So he asked directly without hesitation: "Section Chief Lan, then are we going to…"

"Are we going to what?" Lan Mei asked Zhao Desan back, then said shyly: "I said you were a piece of tofu, and you argued. We've already done that, what else can I do!"

"That means I can have hanky-panky with Section Chief Lan anytime in the future…" Zhao Desan's words were a bit out of line in his extreme excitement. As soon as his voice fell, he heard a "slap," and his buttocks received a heavy slap from Section Chief Lan…

Suddenly, a "knock, knock, knock" sounded at the door. Zhao Desan immediately pulled up his pants nervously and exchanged a look with Section Chief Lan. She winked at Zhao Desan, signaling him to prepare quickly. This guy Zhao Desan was truly able to adapt to circumstances; he immediately understood, got up from the sofa, sat on the chair opposite the desk, and then picked up a document to look at it in a pretentious manner.

Lan Mei tidied up her mood, combed her messy hair, walked up, and opened the locked door. She saw Zheng Ru standing at the door, looking at Lan Mei with a strange look, and said: "Section Chief Lan, there is a document here that needs your signature."

Lan Mei pretended to be calm and said "Oh," then said: "Come in."

So Zheng Ru followed her in. At this time, when Zhao Desan heard it was Zheng Ru walking in, in order to cover up, he turned his back to Lan Mei and deliberately raised his voice while looking at the document: "Section Chief Lan, what is this document about? I don't quite understand."

As soon as Zheng Ru saw Zhao Desan in Section Chief Lan's office, a strange look flashed across her face. She stuck out her tongue in contempt, thinking they must not have done anything good in the office, otherwise, why would she have been made to wait outside for so long? Lan Mei came to the desk, sat down, took a rough look at the document Zheng Ru brought, signed it with a flourish, and handed it to her. At this time, Zhao Desan pretended to be enlightened and said: "Yo, Zheng Ru, you're also here to find Section Chief Lan for a signature?"

Zheng Ru glanced at him, said an indifferent "um," and left after signing and taking the document.

Once Zheng Ru left, Lan Mei said to Zhao Desan solemnly: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, did you see that? Now your popularity in the unit is far worse than before. Look at how indifferent Xiao Zheng is to you."

"Xiao Zheng's attitude toward me has a reason, Section Chief Lan. Can't you see it?" Zhao Desan looked at her with a bit of smugness as soon as he thought about how much he attracted women.

Ever since they entered the unit more than half a year ago, Lan Mei had seen that Zheng Ru and Zhao Desan were very close, and the relationship between the two was very intimate. People who didn't know would think they were in love. Even at that time, Zheng Tulu valued Zhao Desan very much. That was also the time when Lan Mei had a very strong opinion about Zhao Desan relying on connections to get to the Construction Committee. As a result, half a year later, everything seemed to have turned upside down. Not only did she have a 180-degree turn in her opinion of this guy, but she had also developed to the point of physical intimacy with him. Thinking of all this was like a dream, and even Lan Mei herself couldn't believe it. As a woman, possessing the extremely sensitive nerves of a female animal, the attitude of Zheng Ru from being inseparable from Zhao Desan at the beginning to now being like enemies, must certainly be inseparable from things between men and women. "Comrade Xiao Zhao, I'm asking you, you must answer me honestly." Lan Mei suddenly said this inexplicably, making Zhao Desan feel a bit confused for a moment. He widened his eyes slightly, nodded in a muddled way, and said: "Section Chief Lan, go ahead and ask."

"Tell me, did you bully Xiao Zheng, which is why she is indifferent to you now?" Lan Mei arched her willow eyebrows, staring at him with bewitching eyes, looking as if she were forcing Zhao Desan to admit it.

It's not that I don't want to say it, but Zhao Desan had just arrived in Xijing, suddenly separated from the life of "being a groom every night," and didn't know anyone in the new place. The habits he had formed and the endless urges drove him to have the idea of conquering Zheng Ru, whom he had met by accident. It's just a pity that he never found an opportunity, and she was the only girl he wanted to get with but didn't fulfill his wish. However, things that didn't happen didn't happen. He absolutely couldn't put gold on his own face for such unglamorous things, so he desperately denied it: "Section Chief Lan, you can't say that randomly. Xiao Zheng is Zheng Tulu's daughter after all. Even if I had the guts of a lion, I wouldn't dare to… to get with her." In his anxiety, he used the word "get with" to bluntly describe the lewd behavior.

"Then I saw that when you first came to the unit, the relationship between the two of you was extremely intimate. At that time, Director Zheng also valued you especially. Why was that?" Since this was mentioned, Lan Mei threw out the question she had never understood.

"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, Section Chief Lan. Zheng Tulu wanted to climb up through my cousin's connections and wanted to have a political marriage. But that was just a random match, wasn't it? I had just come to work at that time and didn't know anyone. I just happened to see Xiao Zheng during the exam, so I got a bit closer. Do you know why Zheng Tulu's attitude toward me changed greatly later? It was because I showed my cards to him. I said I had no interest in Zheng Ru at all. He had racked his brains and felt that I had let down his good intentions." Zhao Desan honestly explained the ins and outs of the matter. Anyway, facing the accomplished fact, there was nothing to hide.

Lan Mei also finally had a thorough understanding of the things she had never been able to figure out. She thought it seemed Zheng Tulu's ambition was really not small. "Now that Zheng Tulu knows the relationship between the two of us, he certainly won't let us go easily. In the future, let's try to keep our distance in the unit. Don't act like you did today again, otherwise, we will definitely die a miserable death." Lan Mei warned him with a serious face.

Zhao Desan had Su Qing supporting him, so he wasn't worried at all about Zheng Tulu doing anything to him. But putting himself in Section Chief Lan's shoes and considering it, just as she said, as a divorced woman, what else could she do after leaving the Construction Committee? "Then you're saying we can't do that in the office in the future?" Zhao Desan looked at her with some regret. In an alternative environment like the office, Zhao Desan felt the most and enjoyed it the most when doing that. Just now, Section Chief Lan was lying under him, working tirelessly "smacking and smacking" for a while, and he had unexpectedly released. It was almost incredible to him.
