~9 min read 1,716 words

Excited for most of the afternoon, after getting off work, Li Changping returned home and told this good news to Zhang Ailing, who was participating in the special meeting on coal work organized by the province in Xijing City and had not yet returned to Yuyang.

Learning that her husband Li Changping was about to be promoted to Deputy Secretary in charge of safety work in Hexi Province, she was even more excited than Li Changping and asked excitedly, "Didn't say when it can be decided?"

"Not yet decided, it has to be reported to the Central Committee, waiting for the Organization Department of the Central Committee to issue a document. But I estimate it will be soon. Now that position is empty, it can't be empty for too long." Li Changping was showing off in front of his wife Zhang Ailing for the first time.

"That's really great!" Zhang Ailing sat down beside Li Changping and said extremely excitedly.

Li Changping smiled triumphantly, turned his head and asked, "Why? Are you even happier than me?"

Zhang Ailing said, "Of course. Think about it, you are the Deputy Secretary in charge of safety work. Won't all the safety work in the province be under your management by then? The coal industry is no exception, so you can make a good profit!"

Only then did Li Changping realize and nodded with a smile, "I haven't thought of these yet." As he spoke, he laughed heartily, forgetting himself.

Zhang Ailing suddenly thought of something, grabbed Li Changping's arm and said, "By the way, once you become Deputy Secretary, won't you be higher in rank than Zhao Desan's cousin?"

Li Changping nodded affirmatively and said, "Definitely, it goes without saying. Although the Organization Department has great power, I am a dignified Provincial Party Deputy Secretary, still a little bigger than her."

"Then when you become Deputy Secretary, help me properly deal with that Zhao Desan. You didn't dare to take action before, fearing that his cousin Su Qing would find out. But even if she finds out in the future, she can't do anything to you." Zhang Ailing instructed her husband Li Changping.

Li Changping asked her in confusion, "Ailing, is the grudge between you and that Zhao Desan so big? You say this every time you see me."

"Big, how can it not be big? If that brat hadn't drilled loopholes in policies and made trouble to close the Heihe Coal Mine of Lin's Mining Industry, the Coal Bureau would have collected millions in safety evaluation technical assistance fees from that mine alone every year, and there would definitely be quite a bit falling into our pockets. That brat made such a mess, and this money is gone. Do you say I can not be angry!" Zhang Ailing looked extremely angry and counted Zhao Desan's 'crimes'. Actually, it was not so. Deep in Zhang Ailing's heart, the hatred for Zhao Desan had nothing to do with material things. The essential relationship was that Zhao Desan betrayed her physically and got together with other women. After Zhao Desan left the Coal Bureau, the secretary Li Shanshan reported to Zhang Ailing, telling her that Zhao Desan also had an affair with the cleaning worker Bai Ling in the unit. For this reason, Zhang Ailing fired Bai Ling in a fit of anger. This move also scared the logistics department director Zhang Da, fearing that Bai Ling would publish the photos she had secretly taken. However, Bai Ling was a kind-hearted woman, and the person who fired her was the director Zhang Ailing, so she didn't find trouble with Zhang Da.

"Isn't it just that little money? I thought how he offended you. Our couple is not short of money to spend. We have what we should have. The money saved now is for our son." Li Changping felt that Zhang Ailing was a bit too high on Zhao Desan.

"Anyway, I just can't swallow this breath. If you can help me vent this breath, then you must properly deal with that guy and let him understand that there is a price to pay for doing wrong things!" Zhang Ailing said fiercely.

Li Changping imagined that he would soon be promoted to the sixth Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. That excitement was beyond words, and he said triumphantly, "Okay, I know. Once the document from above comes down, Su Qing can't do anything to me by then. I will help you deal with that brat to death. Also, I will also let Su Qing taste what it's like to be ridden on the head and shit!"

"But you must remember, although you have power in your hands after becoming Deputy Secretary, you still can't be too flamboyant. You can't come forward personally to deal with Zhao Desan's matter." Zhang Ailing instructed.

"How can I be so stupid? I definitely won't expose myself to the front desk. I revealed my meaning to Director Zheng of the Construction Committee before. He also had a grudge with Zhao Desan and didn't make things difficult for Zhao Desan. By the way, I'll call old Zheng." Speaking of Zheng Tulu, Li Changping wanted to call to ask about Zhao Desan going to Beijing for training, and poke Zhao Desan in front of Zheng Tulu.

Li Changping picked up the phone and dialed Zheng Tulu's number. The phone rang for a long time before it was connected. Li Changping asked a bit angrily, "Old Zheng, what are you doing? Don't want to answer my call?"

"Where, where, Deputy Minister Li, I am socializing outside now, it's too noisy, I didn't hear it just now, is there anything, Deputy Minister Li?" Zheng Tulu explained with a smile. The phone background sound sounded noisy, making Li Changping know at a glance that he was at a wine party.

"Nothing special, I heard that Zhao Desan was sent to Beijing by you for training?" Li Changping's tone carried a bit of reproach.

Zheng Tulu quickly heard the other meaning from Li Changping's tone and explained with a bit of bitterness, "Old Li, it's not that you don't understand, I also have pressure here. This is not because Minister Su is above. Besides, sending him to Beijing for training, I also have other intentions." As he spoke, Zheng Tulu saw that everyone in the private room was looking at himself, so he said to Li Changping, "Old Li, it's too noisy, I'll call you tomorrow, what do you think?"

"Okay, then you go busy yourself first." The phone was too noisy, and Li Changping also knew that Zheng Tulu might be inconvenient to speak, so he hung up the phone.

Just as Zheng Tulu took the phone from his ear, City Party Committee Office Director Liu Jianguo smiled and said to Zheng Tulu, "Director Zheng, Ma Zong is toasting you."

Under Liu Jianguo's smiling reminder, Zheng Tulu turned his head and found that Ma Lan, who was sitting on his left hand, had raised a full glass of wine with both hands and said with a smile, "Director Zheng, come, I'll toast you."

"Good, good, come." Men's lust is their nature, not to mention a lecher like Zheng Tulu. Since the first sight of a sexy, beautiful, and rich mature woman like Ma Lan, his heart had been a bit itchy. Seeing that her wine glass had been raised, he didn't even decline, so he picked up the glass refreshingly, raised it forward and touched it lightly, and said with a smile, "Come, Ma Zong." As he spoke, he raised his neck refreshingly and drank it all.

He Liping, who attended the wine party with Zheng Tulu, saw the look in Zheng Tulu's eyes when he saw Ma Lan, and felt jealous in her heart. Although He Liping didn't have any real feelings for Zheng Tulu now, as a red man and confidant around Zheng Tulu, she couldn't help but feel unhappy whenever she saw Zheng Tulu lusting after other women. She stared straight at Zheng Tulu, who was full of smiles, with a straight face and a beautiful face.

Having worked in the business world for many years, drinking was like a common meal for Ma Lan. She also sent the wine glass to her red lips, raised her neck lightly, raised the glass, and drank a glass of Maotai easily.

Looking at Ma Lan's refreshing style and her face that looked even more charming after drinking, Zheng Tulu shouted 'good' with a face full of lewd smiles on the side, "Good, good, Ma Zong is really a good drinker, worthy of being a heroine among women."

(Space)

Liu Jianguo also echoed Zheng Tulu's cheering and smiled. Ma Lan was humble, filled the glass again, followed the rules, picked up the wine glass, and smiled at He Liping, who was staring at Zheng Tulu with that jealous gaze, "Deputy Director He, I also toast you."

He Liping's mind was not on the wine party at all at this moment, but was secretly cursing Zheng Tulu for being too flirtatious. However, what made her feel a little relieved was that fortunately Ma Lan was not an internal employee of the Provincial Construction Committee and could not pose any threat to herself. Ma Lan greeted He Liping, but didn't get a response, which made Ma Lan look a bit embarrassed at Zheng Tulu, who was smiling at herself.

Zheng Tulu immediately realized it, turned his head and saw He Liping staring at himself with resentful eyes, coughed 'cough cough' a bit awkwardly. Only then did He Liping come back to her senses. Seeing that everyone's eyes were gathered on herself, she felt a bit embarrassed. Fortunately, Zheng Tulu was a person who had seen big scenes, and immediately resolved the embarrassment for her, saying with a smile, "Liping, Ma Zong is toasting you, what are you thinking about?"

Under Zheng Tulu's relief, He Liping's embarrassed expression eased, and then she picked up the wine glass and met it, saying, "Come, Ma Zong."

"Deputy Director He, I toast you." Ma Lan said with a smile, then leaned over slightly, raised the wine glass and touched it lightly with the wine glass He Liping raised, and drank another glass of wine refreshingly.
