Chapter 1269: This isn't stupid?

"Nonsense!" Zheng Jie glared at him. "In such a big unit, would the leader be stupid enough to target the people below? You don't even think about it! You only know how to listen to hearsay!" Zheng Jie felt that the Construction Bureau was a dignified provincial-level unit, and the leaders certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to target female subordinates, so she didn't believe her husband Zhao Da's words.

As for Zheng Tulu being lecherous, Zhao Da hadn't actually seen him do anything to any woman in the unit; he had only heard hearsay. He hadn't heard much about it before, but ever since Ma Debang was transferred away and He Liping took over as Deputy Director, rumors had been spreading privately in the unit that Zheng Tulu valued lust over talent and was obsessed with women. Part of this was true, and part was spread secretly by Ma Debang through the cleaners. "It's true, almost everyone in the unit knows." Although Zhao Da was also half-believing about the rumors, in order to save face for himself, he insisted it was true.

Zheng Jie arched her eyebrows and glared at him, asking: "Have you seen him do anything to any woman, or what?"

"I haven't seen it, but everyone is saying it." Zhao Da insisted.

Zheng Jie rolled her eyes at him and scolded: "You, a grown man, believe hearsay? Don't join in the fun and talk nonsense about things without evidence!" After speaking, Zheng Jie didn't want to get entangled in the question of whether the Construction Bureau leader was a lecher, and continued to talk about her own business: "Zhao Da, give me a clear time. When will you go to your leaders to talk about transferring me over?"

"This... I'll go as soon as I have time." Zhao Da had no bottom in his heart, so he gave an ambiguous answer.

When Zheng Jie saw his uncertain look, she knew he was stalling to fool her, so she kept a straight face and pursued: "What is 'as soon as I have time'? I want you to give me a clear time! Don't always fool me. Do you want me to come over and work with you or not? Tell me the truth. If you don't want me to come here and watch you, then fine, Zhao Da, I won't say another word!" Zheng Jie wanted to come to the Provincial Construction Bureau to work with Zhao Da for two reasons. One was that the Provincial Construction Bureau was much closer to home, so she wouldn't have to take the bus for such a long time every day. The other was that she could be with her husband Zhao Da. Even if there were stinky men who had ideas about her, with her husband by her side in the unit, those stinky men would shrink back. Unlike at the District Construction Bureau, where although she was a small clerk, the male comrades, big and small, would always come to chat with her for no reason, which had given her a bad reputation at the District Construction Bureau. She wanted to escape that place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

Zhao Da looked at Zheng Jie's serious expression and the threatening words she said. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. Looking at Zheng Jie's stern appearance, Zhao Da was stunned for a moment, then smiled and softened his stance: "Wife, give me some time. I will definitely go tell the leader. I certainly want you to work with me too. I also feel bad that you are so tired every day."

Zheng Jie's expression softened a little. She rolled her eyes at him and said coldly: "It's good that you know!"

Zhao Da chuckled and said: "Jie, don't worry, I will definitely find time to tell the leader recently. But whether it works or not, I'm afraid it will cost some money. You'll have to give me some money then." Because Zhao Da and Zheng Jie were not in the same unit, to prevent him from spending money where he shouldn't, his salary card had always been managed by Zheng Jie, who only gave him a little pocket money every month to prevent him from going out and messing around.

"Nonsense, how can you get things done by asking leaders for help without spending money!" Zheng Jie rolled her eyes at him, then urged again: "You handle this matter as soon as possible. I really don't want to stay at the District Construction Bureau for even one more day."

"Jie, I know. You go back quickly. If you keep coming to the unit, colleagues will gossip when they see you, okay? You go back first, I'm still a bit busy." Zhao Da was relatively introverted. Every time his wife Zheng Jie came over, he always felt that people were looking at him, and he didn't like Zheng Jie coming to the unit to find him.

"Why are you urging me? Are you afraid some woman will see me coming to find you?" Zheng Jie rolled her eyes at him, deliberately stimulating him like this.

Hearing his wife say this, Zhao Da immediately panicked, gesturing wildly to deny it: "Jie, what nonsense are you talking about? I don't have that. I'm afraid that if I chat with you here during work hours, the leader will criticize me. Besides, you... why aren't you at work today? Did you ask for leave?"

Zheng Jie said displeasedly: "Isn't it to come and find you!"

Zhao Da frowned and said in a reproachful tone: "You keep asking for leave like this, how can that be? It won't give your leaders a good impression!"

Zheng Jie gave a "humph" and said dismissively: "Anyway, I'm not a formal staff member, and I don't want to stay at the District Construction Bureau anymore. If you still don't go to plead with your leaders to transfer me here, and they fire me, I'll just stay at home and go nowhere. Let's see if your salary is enough to support me and Nini. I can be frugal, but Nini just started elementary school. You know how big the expenses are!" Nini was the daughter of Zheng Jie and Zhao Da, who had just started the first grade of elementary school and was a very cute little girl.

"You... aren't you threatening me? It's not like I said I wouldn't go tell the leader. You have to give me some time. I have to think about how to find them!" Zhao Da was so angry at Zheng Jie that he explained with a sad face.

"Look at your cowardly look! I only said two words to you, and look at your face, it's two feet long!" Zheng Jie rolled her eyes at him and said.

Zhao Da saw that his wife was always displeased with him. Knowing that his wife Zheng Jie liked to be coaxed with sweet words, he smiled and stretched out a hand to pat her shoulder gently, saying with a chuckle: "Jie, I know. You go back first. I will find our leader as soon as possible recently to talk about this matter, okay? You go back first. I'm working for them now, and it's not convenient to keep standing in the corridor and chatting with you."

Zhao Desan had eavesdropped in the office and roughly gathered that Zheng Jie had come to find Zhao Da again because of the matter mentioned last time. There were two reasons why Zhao Da hadn't gone to find Zheng Tulu to talk about this. First, Zhao Da had an introverted personality. Although he was considered an old comrade in the Planning Division, he was almost dispensable in the unit and had almost no impression in the eyes of the leaders. Even if he went to plead for help, the leader probably wouldn't agree. Second, recently, rumors about Zheng Tulu being lecherous had been spreading wildly in the unit, making the few female comrades in the unit feel insecure, and they would leave as soon as work was over. After hearing that Zheng Tulu was a big lecher, Zhao Da was even more afraid to transfer his wife over. Wouldn't that be pushing his wife into a fire pit!

Zhao Desan heard Zheng Jie say she had to go home to pick up Nini from school and cook. He raised his wrist to check his watch; there was less than half an hour left before work ended. In order to create an accidental encounter with Zheng Jie, Zhao Desan got up, opened the office door, and walked out directly. Seeing Zhao Da and Zheng Jie standing face to face talking, Zhao Desan deliberately joked with a ghostly smile: "Brother Zhao, you are really happy. Sister-in-law has come to see you again." ===== CHAPTER 1270 =====
