Chapter 119

"Zhao De, you're so lecherous!" Li Li Li Li Li Shanshan raised her eyebrows and rolled her eyes. "Why are you so perverted?"

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare," Zhao De said, cupping his hands in a salute. His eyes lit up, and he asked with a wicked smile, "If you're free right now, shall we... hehe... how about it?"

Li Li Li Li Li Shanshan genuinely wanted to date him, so she couldn't be as uninhibited with him as before; she needed to at least restore the image of a pure maiden in his heart. She stiffened her face and refused, "Zhao De, don't treat me like that kind of girl! I'm not that easy!"

"Yo! Still putting on an act in front of me?" Zhao De didn't understand the situation. "Forget it, I'll go lock the door." As he said this, he got up to lock the door.

"Zhao De!" Li Li Li Li Li Shanshan shouted, her brows furrowed in anger. "I am not that kind of easy girl! Before, it was because you said you had photos and were threatening me! Now that there are no photos, do you think I'll still listen to you? Don't be so vulgar!" After saying this, she stood up in a huff and stormed out, slamming the door.

It seemed she was truly angry. This abnormal behavior left Zhao De a bit confused; he found it quite unbelievable.

Feeling inexplicably irritable and restless in the office, Zhao De simply got up and took a stroll to the warehouse. Since Zhang Ai and Fatty were both out, he returned to the office, head hung low and feeling stifled. He sat there smoking, waiting for the end of the workday, after which he still had to wait for Bai Ling to give him instructions regarding Zhang Da's arrangements.

Bai Ling, this young married woman, was truly a rare gem. In all the years Zhao De had lived, he had only felt this way about two people: one was Ma Lan, and the other was Bai Ling. Both were young married women a few years older than him—one wealthy but suffering from her daughter's misfortune, the other with a shattered family, still struggling to hold on.

It wasn't until 6:30, half an hour after work had ended, that Zhao De left the office, knowing that most people in the bureau had already gone, and went to the front courtyard to find Bai Ling.

It was nearly December, and at 6:30, the sky was already dark. The only two streetlights in the courtyard hadn't been turned on, and it seemed the only light in the office building was in Vice Bureau Chief Wang's office. After circling the front courtyard, Bai Ling hadn't arrived yet. Zhao De was curious; Vice Bureau Chief Wang was always late and left early, so why was he planning to work through the night this evening?

Driven by curiosity, he quietly slipped into the office building, crept up to the door of Vice Bureau Chief Wang's office, and pressed his ear against it to eavesdrop.

Whispering came from inside; the voices were very soft and required careful listening to be heard.

"Bai Ling, do you only start work every night after everyone else has left?" Vice Bureau Chief Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Anguo's voice came from inside.

So, Sister Bai had been called to the office by Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Anguo; no wonder he hadn't seen her sweeping tonight! Zhao De knew immediately that Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Anguo was up to no good and was definitely trying to take advantage of her.

"Yes," Bai Ling replied with her head lowered. "Vice Bureau Chief Wang, did you call me to your office for something?"

"Hehe, nothing, nothing... By the way, you're a permanent employee, right?"

"No... I'm a temporary worker... doing cleaning. How could there be a permanent position? I'm afraid I'm making a fool of myself in front of you, sir."

"Not at all... Are you cold?" Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Anguo's hand rested on her shoulder with ill intent, pretending to be concerned.

"I'm not cold."

"Oh... Bai Ling, do you want to become a permanent employee?"

"Hehe, Vice Bureau Chief Wang, you're joking. It's not something that can happen just because one wants it to. I'm already very satisfied to keep this temporary job."

"I could actually help you with that, but..." Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Anguo began to play hard to get, acting mysterious.

"Vice Bureau Chief Wang, but what?" Bai Ling cared deeply about this job; she dreamed of becoming a permanent employee.

"Hehe... Bai Ling, look..."

"Vice Bureau Chief Wang... don't... don't..."

"I won't spell it out... but you understand, right... as long as you agree, I can help you become a permanent employee."

Vice Bureau Chief Wang's hand had already slid down from Bai Ling's shoulder, nearing her high, protruding breasts. Bai Ling took a step back, having understood what Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Anguo meant, and said with her head hung low, "Vice Bureau Chief Wang, I... I won't seek a permanent position. My current job is fine."

"Aren't you afraid of suddenly becoming unemployed? Hmm? Hehe." Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Anguo took another step forward and suddenly pulled her into his arms, his thick lips beginning to nuzzle her exquisite face.

Bai Ling was panicked and pale with fright, pushing at his head and calling out, "Vice Bureau Chief Wang, don't... don't..."

"Knock, knock, knock." Zhao De knocked urgently on the door; to save Bai Ling, he had cast all caution to the wind.

"Who is it!" Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Anguo stopped and shouted.

"Knock, knock, knock..." Zhao De knocked again.

Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Anguo opened the door aggressively, and seeing it was Zhao De, he frowned and questioned him, "Little Zhao, what are you knocking for? What business do you have so late?"

"Oh, Sister Bai is here too. I was just looking for her, and it turns out she's in your office, Vice Bureau Chief Wang." Zhao De said with a fawning smile.

"I... I'll go sweep now!" Bai Ling wiped her hair, her face flushed, and tried to bypass Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Anguo to leave. Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Anguo suddenly smiled with a benevolent look, "Bai Ling, wait a moment, I haven't finished giving you instructions."

"Vice Bureau Chief Wang, it's already seven o'clock, are you still working? Take care of your health, don't overwork yourself." Zhao De feigned concern, but his words carried a hidden meaning.

Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Anguo found these words quite awkward; they were truly pointed. "Little Zhao, you go home first! I'm discussing something with Bai Ling!" He was not about to give up, wanting to possess this stunning beauty, Bai Ling.

"But Vice Bureau Chief Wang, Sister Bai has to sweep the courtyard. If the courtyard isn't swept clean, Section Chief Zhang will criticize me again tomorrow, saying I'm not attentive to my work. Look at this..."

Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Anguo was impatient to have this rare young married woman and felt that Zhao De was intentionally ruining his good fortune. He charged at him angrily, "Little Zhao! Stop dawdling! Enough nonsense! Get out! I'm busy right now!" As he said this, he moved to close the door.

Zhao De pushed the door open and said bluntly, "So, leader, you're not supporting my work?"

"Is it me or you who calls the shots at the Coal Bureau?" Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Anguo asked, chin raised. "Do you not want to work at the Coal Bureau anymore?"

Zhao De remained calm and collected, staring at Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Anguo's fat face, then sneered, "Leader, it seems you are violating rules and discipline."

"What rules? What discipline? You little brat! Are you trying to go against me? I think you don't want to stay here anymore! Do you believe I can get rid of you tomorrow, you stinking brat!"

"Hmph..." A cold sneer appeared at the corner of Zhao De's mouth. He said bluntly, "Leader, if you get rid of me just like that, aren't you afraid I'll spill all your dirty deeds?"

"You dare!" Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Anguo widened his triangular eyes, threatening him.
