Chapter 1276: Assist

"It's better to transfer male comrades to assist me than female comrades." Zheng Ru glanced at Zheng Tulu and suddenly said something that made Zheng Tulu confused.

Zheng Tulu looked at his daughter for a while, then suddenly asked her with a ghostly smile: "Ruru, do you want to find a partner in our system? Let me transfer two handsome guys for you?"

"Oh, Dad! What nonsense are you talking about! That's not what I meant!" Zheng Ru pouted and glared at Zheng Tulu.

Zheng Tulu was a bit confused. He looked at Zheng Ru with confusion, frowned slightly, and asked: "Ruru, then what do you mean? You don't want me to transfer female comrades to assist you, and you say that's not what you meant. Then what do you mean?" Zheng Tulu felt for the first time that he couldn't understand his daughter's mind.

"Dad, I want to say something to you." Zheng Ru brewed for a while and said, as if there was something she was very embarrassed to say, which made Zheng Tulu even more confused. He said: "You say it, what is it?"

"Dad, recently in the unit, it has been spreading... spreading things about you, saying that in terms of employing people, you only... only value lust over talent." Zheng Ru said stammeringly.

Zheng Tulu had only heard He Liping mention these rumors about his character from below, and he hadn't paid attention to them at the time. Today, being told this by his daughter in person, he felt that the matter was still quite serious. Although it wasn't enough to pose any essential threat to him, it would at least make his character in the hearts of everyone in the Construction Bureau hit a low point. "Hi! I really don't know what the people below are doing all day long without working properly. How did I value lust over talent? It's all nonsense. I think it's necessary to take some time to rectify the style and discipline of the unit. These people are just idle!" Zheng Tulu said as if nothing had happened, but in his heart, he began to care about these rumors, but he hadn't thought of any way to restore his reputation for a while.

"They say... say you are too close to Deputy Director He, and she was your subordinate before, so you... you promoted her to be Deputy Director." Zheng Ru said.

Zheng Tulu laughed and said: "Ruru, do you believe these rumors? You don't even think about it. Deputy Director He is a deputy department-level cadre, and your old man is not the Minister of the Organization Department. Where do I have the ability to promote her? Even if she were the Minister of the Organization Department, she wouldn't have that power. The promotion of deputy department-level cadres must be studied and decided by the Provincial People's Congress Standing Committee. Promoting her is the province's intention. Besides, Deputy Director He is the second-in-command of the unit, which is to assist me in my daily work. It's reasonable to be a bit closer. How did these normal business dealings change their taste when they spread out? It's really a case of public opinion being able to melt gold!"

"Then does that mean there is nothing between you and Deputy Director He?" Zheng Ru asked tentatively. She didn't know whether she should believe the words of the people below or her father's words, because from Zheng Tulu's attitude toward Ma Li, as a daughter, Zheng Ru felt that Zheng Tulu didn't love her mother enough, so she felt a bit uneasy about the rumors in the unit and took this opportunity to ask him.

"You stinky girl, you even suspect your old man!" Zhao Desan scolded with a smile. At this time, his wife Ma Lili walked over from the kitchen. Zheng Tulu was afraid that if he mentioned He Liping, it would cause Ma Lili's unease. After all, many years ago in the office of the City Construction Bureau, Ma Lili had caught him and He Liping in the act. He must not let her know that He Liping was now the Deputy Director of the Provincial Construction Bureau to cooperate with her work. So he immediately changed the topic and said with a smile: "Ruru, go serve the food. Your mother has already cooked the dishes."

"Ruru, don't worry about it. Mom will serve it. You and your Dad go wash your hands and prepare to eat." Ma Lili said with a smile. Although the relationship of the family of three looked very harmonious, Ma Lili's heart had been completely hooked by Zhao Desan at this time. Since the day they opened a room at the "Will You Come Again Tonight" hotel, Ma Lili had fallen in love with the excitement of stealing love. That day allowed her to truly experience what a woman was, what was drunk and dreaming, and what was infatuated, instead of staying at home alone every day like now, watching TV to pass the time, cooking for her husband and daughter at night, and then sleeping, without feeling the joy of life at all. She regarded Zhao Desan as her lover from the bottom of her heart, but she was hindered by the fact that he worked at the Provincial Construction Bureau, and she was having an affair with a man other than her husband for the first time and opening a room at a hotel, so her courage was still a bit small. She hadn't dared to contact Zhao Desan for the past few days.

The family of three ate and went to bed early. Ma Lili, who was wearing pajamas in a vacuum, lay on the bed. A woman in her forties was in the age of a tiger or wolf. Although Ma Lili's demand for sex was far less than other women, normal physiological needs were still there. It had been almost two weeks since the last time she quenched her thirst. Lying on the bed, she felt inexplicably empty in her heart. She couldn't sleep no matter how she slept, tossing and turning, feeling empty in her heart, always lacking something. As for what was missing, Ma Lili knew in her heart that it was a man's care and "love." In the darkness, she turned over and looked at Zheng Tulu lying beside her, only to see his eyes closed tightly, snoring like thunder, and no matter how she tossed and turned on the bed, he had no reaction at all. Ma Lili felt really empty. Helplessly, she tentatively took Zheng Tulu's hand and placed it on her upright chest. Although the hand was placed on it, Zheng Tulu seemed not to feel the slight elasticity of her chest, and he had no reaction at all, continuing to snore and sleep soundly.

After resting for a while, Zhao Desan lit a cigarette and suddenly turned his face to ask Su Qing: "Sister Su, do you want to get rid of Li Changping?"

"Why ask this suddenly?" Su Qing looked at him with wide, beautiful eyes in surprise.

"I'm just asking, Sister Su, do you want to get rid of Li Changping?" Zhao Desan repeated his question again, looking at him with an unusual gaze, which made Su Qing feel that he seemed to have some way. ===== CHAPTER 1277 =====
