Chapter 1186

He Liping looked down at his actions, raised her eyes to look at him with a strange gaze, and asked with tender affection, "Then, Old Zheng, have you ever tricked me? You haven't contacted me for over a year; have you been seeing other women?" She wanted to probe the truth and verify what Zhao Desan had said.

Zheng Tulu naturally denied it without changing his expression or skipping a beat: "No way. I've been so busy all day; the Construction Committee's affairs are endless, so where would I have the time to think about those things? Promoting you to be by my side actually makes things more convenient." He said with a mischievous grin, gently stroking her thigh. Even though there was a layer of jeans and a layer of long johns in between, the softness and slight elasticity of her thigh were still within reach.

"But I've only been here for two days, so why have I heard people below discussing this, saying you value looks over talent and won't let any pretty woman go? Is that true?" He Liping looked straight at him with seductive eyes and asked in a soft tone. Since yesterday, she had heard employees talking in private several times about how Zheng Tulu only valued looks in the personnel system and liked pretty women.

Speaking of this, Zheng Tulu got angry. He darkened his face and said, "That's just a rumor spread by Ma Debang because he wasn't reconciled before I got rid of him. His goal is to smear my reputation."

He Liping certainly knew him inside and out regarding his love for messing with women, but it wasn't time to lay all her cards on the table yet. She was a newcomer and had to rely on this old guy for everything; otherwise, how could she make the people at the Construction Committee submit? So, she smiled faintly as if nothing was wrong and said, "Then it seems I was overthinking it."

Zheng Tulu grabbed her hand, placed it in his palm, patted the back of her hand lightly, and said with apparent sincerity, "Liping, don't worry. Having a woman like you who understands my heart by my side is enough. Besides, look at the entire Construction Committee—where else is there a woman who can compare to you? In terms of figure or appearance, who can match you!"

He Liping blurted out, "Isn't that Director Lan very pretty? She's tall, has a good figure, and is also very beautiful."

Zheng Tulu was stunned for a moment. He held her hand and stroked it gently, laughing as if it were nothing: "You mean Lan Mei? She's divorced and a bit cold; ordinary people can't get close to her. Last year, her ex-husband Fang Jun was investigated, and her personality is a bit strange."
