Chapter 1299: Why should I play with you?

Lan Mei didn't know what to do either. She had already told Zheng Tulu, and if she went back up to tell him she didn't need anyone, it would probably make Zheng Tulu unhappy, thinking she was playing with him. This matter, with Comrade Xiao Zhao's interference, left Lan Mei in a dilemma.

What Comrade Xiao Zhao was worried about wasn't really that she owed Zheng Tulu a favor and what he would do because of it. If he wanted to do something, he could completely coerce Lan Mei into doing anything by relying on the leverage he held. But for the time being, Comrade Xiao Zhao wasn't too worried about what Zheng Tulu would do to Division Chief Lan. That old lecher had a strong possessive desire and certainly wouldn't remove Lan Mei from the position of Division Chief. However, He Liping was currently by his side, so it wasn't convenient for him to make a move on Lan Mei. Comrade Xiao Zhao had racked his brains to find so many reasons to stop Lan Mei from going to Zheng Tulu to transfer Zheng Jie to the Planning Division, just because he was afraid that if this happened, Zheng Jie and her husband Zhao Da would be inseparable all day long, and he would have no chance to contact her alone, let alone "get things done."

Seeing that Comrade Xiao Zhao was a bit angry, Lan Mei also knew she had been too rash. However, what was done could not be undone. She was even less willing to go back up and find Zheng Tulu, so she said irritably, "Forget it, if I owe a favor, I owe a favor. What else can I do? I don't believe that beast can eat me!"

Seeing Lan Mei put on a "broken jar, broken" attitude, Comrade Xiao Zhao gave a "humph" and said coldly, "As long as you can think it through, Division Chief Lan. Then I won't disturb you, I'm going back to work." With that, he walked out of Lan Mei's office with some disappointment.

Just as he returned to the office, Xia Jian said happily, "Xiao Zhao, Xiao Zhao is treating us to dinner tonight. This kid finally found an opportunity, we have to slaughter him properly tonight."

Comrade Xiao Zhao chuckled. Wanting to know if Zheng Jie would attend tonight, he feigned casualness and asked, "Who all is going?"

"Your two sisters-in-law, your Brother Zhao, and your Brother Xia here," Xia Jian said.

Comrade Xiao Zhao asked, "Not calling Division Chief Lan?"

Xia Jian shook his head and whispered, "No, calling her affects the atmosphere."

Only then did Comrade Xiao Zhao feel relieved. He was just afraid that they would call Lan Mei along. If he happened to have some flirtatious glances with A-Fang at the dinner table, or if his eyes looked a bit wrong when looking at A-Fang and Zheng Jie, he would definitely be seen through by Lan Mei. As long as she didn't go, at least it would be half the effort for twice the result.

"Have you notified the two sisters-in-law?" Comrade Xiao Zhao asked. Eating was secondary; for Comrade Xiao Zhao, the most important thing was to ensure he could see A-Fang and Zheng Jie at dinner after work.
