Chapter 1483: New Gains?

"Yes, Little Zhao, are there any other new gains?" He Liping looked at Zheng Tulu and repeated his question to Zhao Desan.

Zhao Desan knew he couldn't hide it from the two leaders before him. On the way back, he seemed to have analyzed some clues. Since He Liping had intentionally arranged for her cousin Jia Wanli to accompany him on the study trip, it proved that she must have had thoughts in her heart. This might just be a test for him. After all, these two people knew clearly that in the entire Construction Committee, perhaps only Zhao Desan had the ability to make them feel overwhelmed, and others couldn't compete with them at all. So, perhaps this was also He Liping 'throwing a stone to ask the way'. In other words, it was to see if you, Zhao Desan, were a gentleman, if you could be as corrupt as she was, and if you were worthy of her trust. If Zhao Desan put on the appearance of a gentleman, then the miserable ending of being 'returned to his original form' might be waiting for him after he returned.

Since he had figured out the problem and had the answer to deal with it, Zhao Desan naturally didn't avoid their questions anymore. However, he still said to them very subtly: "How should I put this?... I can only say thank you to the two leaders for sending me to study, thank you for the leaders' love, which allowed me to learn a lot of things, gain a lot of things, and enjoy a lot of blessings!" This was also double-edged. It could be interpreted as the beauty He Liping arranged for him allowing him to enjoy himself, or it could be interpreted as the leaders there taking special care of him under the old bald donkey's arrangement, allowing him to enjoy blessings.

Sure enough, the old bald donkey laughed 'haha', patted Zhao Desan on the shoulder, and said: "The child is teachable, the child is teachable!" After saying this, he looked at He Liping with an unusual expression.

Just at this moment, He Liping didn't know where she had called Jia Wanli from, and she saw her walking out from inside with light steps.

Zhao Desan saw this scene and felt a layer of cold sweat immediately break out on his forehead. He thought to himself: 'Grandmother, this is truly too dangerous. If I hadn't analyzed it correctly and stubbornly refused to admit doing anything to Jia Wanli, I would definitely be dead.'

Before Zhao Desan could think too much, Zheng Tulu smiled at him and said: "From today on, Little Jia is a person in your office. She also went out to study with you, and from now on, she will fully assist your work. I don't think you'll object, will you?" This was also an idea He Liping gave Zheng Tulu. On one hand, she could use Jia Wanli to restrain Zhao Desan, and on the other hand, she could be her eyes and ears, keeping his every move in her hands.

Oh my god! Zhao Desan was almost knocked unconscious. What he feared most had come! This result was also a result he had imagined, but he hadn't expected it to come so quickly! Zhao Desan didn't dare to think too much, as that would be noticed by He Liping and Zheng Tulu. So, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Thank you for the support of the two leaders. I will definitely... oh, no, no, it's that Little Jia and I will definitely not live up to the leaders' expectations! I will strive to do the planning work of the New Area well!"

"Good, I just like the fighting spirit of young people like you. How about this, you've worked hard since you just came back. Let's start formal work from tomorrow. You can take a day off today, arrange it yourselves!" After saying this, Zheng Tulu smiled very generously. He Liping, on the side, also nodded in agreement, which left Zhao Desan truly at a loss for a moment.

Zhao Desan didn't remember how he walked out of the director's office, but he heard Zheng Tulu's last sentence, 'Young man, work hard, I won't treat you badly!', very clearly. What did this cunning old fox want to use him for? What kind of code was hidden in this?

Zhao Desan had no idea. Before, when something happened, there was at least Division Chief Lan above him who could appear. Now that he had been promoted to Deputy Division Chief and was in charge of the planning work of the New Area, everything needed to be dealt with directly with that old thing. This made him not only a little worried, because he knew that although he could be promoted smoothly this time, it was under the pressure of the province and Su Qing's help, which made the old fox helpless but to promote him. But in his heart, he must be ten thousand times unwilling to see him succeed. So, this move that left him unable to figure out must have a purpose. Perhaps it was to find a legitimate reason to dismiss him for violating organizational discipline or something.

Although Jia Wanli had already had 'fish and water' joy with him, whether her heart was on He Liping's side or his side was still an unknown. He hadn't expected He Liping to persuade the old man to handle Jia Wanli's transfer procedures so quickly. It seemed that during the half-month he was away, He Liping and the old man hadn't run around less for Jia Wanli's transfer from the Municipal Construction Committee to the Provincial Construction Committee to assist his work. Once she continued to follow He Liping as always, she would become a barrier hindering his major affairs by his side. How to solve this barrier? How to appease this barrier? A series of questions left Zhao Desan feeling unable to start.

Zhao Desan thought about the problem in his mind and returned to his office. Jia Wanli wasn't arranged by Zheng Tulu to be a helper to assist him and didn't come to sit in his office, but was given a look by He Liping and followed her to the Deputy Director's office.

As soon as they entered, He Liping, out of vigilance, signaled her cousin Jia Wanli to close the door.

"Cousin, do you have something to find me for?" He Liping asked, knowing the answer.

He Liping sat in the boss's chair, looked at her with unusual eyes, and asked: "Wanli, you followed Deputy Division Chief Liu to inspect and study for half a month. What gains do you have? Tell me and let me listen."

Jia Wanli naturally knew the profound meaning in He Liping's words. Although she also understood that she had arranged for her to follow Zhao Desan on a business trip just to test Zhao Desan, she pretended that nothing had happened, smiled naturally, and said: "There are quite a lot of gains. The planning and construction of the Liangjiang New Area are very advanced. Although it is district-level planning, it has a complete urban skeleton... In short... in short, there are many gains, and I can't finish talking about them for a while."

Jia Wanli knew that He Liping wanted to ask her sideways if she had any gains with Zhao Desan. But when she gained the happiness that a newlywed young wife should have from Zhao Desan, she didn't intend to betray him. After all, everything was started by her seducing him. Even if it was a more upright man, how could he withstand such a direct seduction from a beautiful woman? Moreover, Zhao Desan had initially refused righteously out of overthinking. So Jia Wanli didn't think He Liping was that kind of person, but instead felt he was a decent man that women liked very much. That's why she played dumb and answered like this.

"Besides these gains in work, are there no other gains?" He Liping looked at her with unusual eyes, a shallow, tricky smile hanging on the corner of her mouth, and asked unhurriedly.

Hearing He Liping's words, Jia Wanli felt that she was determined to get the words out of her today. However, she hadn't seen anything between her and Zhao Desan with her own eyes, so she played dumb and said: "There are no other aspects, just a lot of gains in work."

He Liping laughed 'hehe', clearly looking like she didn't believe her words, so she asked sideways: "Wanli, I heard from Deputy Division Chief Liu that you enjoyed blessings."

Sure enough, He Liping's beating this time was quite effective. Jia Wanli immediately became a bit uneasy after hearing this sentence, and a layer of faint red light rose on her fair cheeks. She neither admitted nor denied it and said: "Enjoyed blessings? I don't know... which aspect he is referring to."

Seeing her cousin Jia Wanli loosen up, He Liping seized the opportunity to press her advantage, continuing to look at her with that suspicious gaze, and said, "Wanli, I know your situation better than anyone, cousin. Just take your time at the Municipal Construction Commission; your relationship with the director is practically common knowledge. Your husband, Xiao Meng, has some physical issues—you've told me about that. We're both women, so I understand your plight, but the director is a married man after all. That's why I went to such lengths to get you transferred to the Provincial Construction Commission. Don't you understand my intentions?" He Liping did not cut straight to the point to ask whether she and Zhao Desan had actually had an affair; instead, she adopted a roundabout tactic, hoping to psychologically align her with herself so that she could become a true informant.

He Liping's words made Jia Wanli's face flush with a deeper red. Her beautiful face looked even more charming because of her shyness. She lowered her head slightly, and her shy voice was like a mosquito, saying: "Cousin, I know you transferred me here for my own good."

"Wanli, as long as you understand cousin's meaning. Then tell me, how do you think Deputy Division Chief Liu behaves? This time, others were supposed to be sent to follow him to study, but cousin thought it was a good opportunity to let you go together, so that you can enter the work state as soon as possible after coming here." He Liping took a sip of water and gradually led the topic to her and Zhao Desan.

"He... he is a very good person, and he took good care of me when we were out of town." When mentioning Zhao Desan's character, a distinct, unusual expression appeared on Jia Wanli's face—a smile tinged with intoxication. This immediately made He Liping, who was also a woman and extremely adept at reading people, understand. Although Zhao Desan hadn't explicitly admitted to having had anything happen with her cousin Jia Wanli, judging by her current reaction, He Liping was basically certain that this young wife, lacking a man's affection, had still failed to escape Zhao Desan's grasp. However, what gave her a slight sense of comfort was that in Zheng Tulu's office, Zhao Desan had also implicitly admitted to this, so He Liping felt that the kid hadn't lied to her; he had openly admitted to what he had done, a point she quite appreciated.

"Besides this?" He Liping

continued to pursue, "For example, you two were alone, didn't anything else happen? Wanli, cousin knows your situation. We are all women. Sometimes relaxing occasionally is nothing. What's there to hide? Just say what you did generously, and cousin can give you some ideas." Finally, He Liping made the topic more direct.
