Chapter 1579: Beautiful Young Wife

"Come in." He Liping's tone was obviously different from usual, sounding a bit cold.

This made Jia Wanli confused. She pushed the door open, completely puzzled, and saw He Liping staring at her expressionlessly.

"Deputy Director He, are you looking for me?" Jia Wanli said with a smile. Seeing her cousin He Liping looking so serious, she was truly a bit timid, not knowing what had happened.

"Sit down." Because she was her cousin, and Jia Wanli was still very crucial in whether she could tame Zhao Desan, a small person with some supernatural powers, He Liping tried her best to calm her jealous mood, making herself look less serious: "Sit down."

Jia Wanli smiled gently, not knowing why, and sat on the sofa. Before she could speak, He Liping looked at her with a strange gaze and asked insinuatingly: "Wanli, have you adapted to the work? How is your relationship with Deputy Section Chief Liu?"

"Still... still okay." Jia Wanli answered with a smile, completely confused.

"Still okay?" He Liping asked with a gentle smile.

"Mm." Jia Wanli nodded, not realizing at all that He Liping was leading her into a dead end.

"How good is it?" He Liping suddenly asked such a strange question, staring straight at her with a strange gaze.

Jia Wanli suddenly felt completely confused, not knowing why her cousin He Liping suddenly asked such a strange question, but felt that this question was a bit wrong, so she smiled awkwardly and said: "Just like friends."

"Friend-like relationship, that's not bad. I was afraid you wouldn't get along with Deputy Section Chief Liu. I didn't expect you, Wanli, to be so capable. How long have you been here, and you've gotten so close to the leader." Jia Wanli chuckled coldly and said a sarcastic remark.

"Cousin, what... what do you mean by that?" Jia Wanli realized that He Liping's words had an insinuating meaning, so she asked with an awkward smile.

He Liping smiled gently, moved her strange gaze away from Jia Wanli, and said as if nothing had happened: "Nothing, I just meant that your relationship with Deputy Section Chief Liu is very good, which is a bit beyond my expectations."

Jia Wanli was also a woman, with a woman's natural sixth sense of sensitivity. She gradually realized He Liping's subtext, so she pretended to be confused and said: "Didn't you, cousin, tell me to get along well with Deputy Section Chief Liu so I could gain his trust?"

"I... I did tell you that, but there has to be a limit. Wanli, you are a married woman. Although I know your marital life with Meng Feng isn't very harmonious, you can't have an affair with another man behind your husband's back, you know? Besides, I transferred you from the Municipal Construction Committee not only because I wanted you to help me monitor Zhao Desan's every move, but also because I wanted to find an opportunity for you to sit in the position of deputy section chief. You must understand my good intentions." He Liping said everything in one breath. After finishing, she took a breath, looked at the silent Jia Wanli, and then softened her tone, using both soft and hard tactics: "Sister spoke a bit harshly, but this is all for your own good. That Deputy Section Chief Liu is not simple. You can also see that Old Zheng is intentionally suppressing him. Why do you have to go against him intentionally? If Deputy Section Chief Liu were honest, Old Zheng wouldn't go against him either. Cousin can only tell you that Deputy Section Chief Liu is not simple. You'd better not be fooled by him, or you'll regret it when it's too late."

Although He Liping used both soft and hard tactics and spoke beautifully, compared to these beautiful words, for Jia Wanli, she was a person with no desires and didn't want to fight and struggle with others in such a complex government unit. As long as she could keep this iron rice bowl, no benefits were as real as the ultimate enjoyment Zhao Desan could bring her. However, in order to stay by Zhao Desan's side, she could only pretend to follow He Liping's words on the surface, nodding obediently: "Cousin, I know, I know you are doing this for my own good, I know what I should do."

Seeing Jia Wanli nodding obediently and sincerely, He Liping breathed a sigh of relief and said meaningfully: "Wanli, as long as you understand. I am your cousin, I certainly won't harm you. As long as you can follow my instructions, I guarantee your future in the Construction Committee will be limitless. It's not that cousin is boasting, I am thirty-five this year, a full twenty years younger than Old Zheng. Old Zheng will retire in a few years. If nothing unexpected happens, the director will be me. When I become the top leader, it will be very easy to promote you."

Jia Wanli had little interest in being a leader. She nodded at He Liping's words, letting them go in one ear and out the other.

Seeing Jia Wanli's sincere attitude, and because she was her cousin, it wasn't good to say too much, so she told her to go down and work after finishing.

Jia Wanli came down from the third floor. After pushing the office door open and entering, Zhao Desan, who was surfing the internet to read the news, looked up and saw Jia Wanli return, so he asked her: "What did Deputy Director He say to you?"

Jia Wanli tilted her almond-shaped eyes, closed the door, and said angrily: "She criticized me!"

"Criticized you? Why?" Zhao Desan looked up and asked with a confused look.

Jia Wanli walked back to her desk and said angrily: "She thinks my relationship with you is too close, and wants me to keep a safe distance from you!"

"Keep a safe distance?" Hearing Jia Wanli say this, Zhao Desan couldn't help but feel it was funny, laughing: "Is it possible that I'm a time bomb that will blow you up!" ===== CHAPTER 1580 =====
