Chapter 184: I Guarantee to Serve You Well!

After Zhang Da left, Zhao De closed the door and went to the warehouse.

When he pushed the door open, Zhang Ai and Fatty Sister were squatting on the ground around a pile of firewood to keep warm. The warehouse was full of spare supplies. Seeing this, Zhao De scolded angrily, "Who told you to light a fire in the warehouse! Put it out immediately!"

The two women were startled by his sudden voice and hurriedly stood up, using their feet to stomp out the fire on the ground. Zhao De had a flash of inspiration and took the opportunity to send Fatty Sister away, so he said with a straight face, "Fatty Sister, go get some water! Put out the fire! There are so many things stored in the warehouse, how can you light a fire inside!"

The fat woman nodded and bowed, hurrying out of the warehouse. Zhao De's straight face relaxed, and he switched to a softer tone, saying to Zhang Ai, who was lowering her head and not daring to look at him, "Sister Ai, is it very cold in the warehouse?"

"It's a bit cold... Fatty Sister said to light a fire to keep warm... Don't blame us... we won't dare to do it next time..." Zhang Ai raised her eyes slightly, speaking timidly and hesitantly. Her expression was a bit panicked and a bit shy. She hadn't seen Zhao De for several days, and it had been nearly two months since they had done that.

For a young married woman around thirty with normal physiological needs, not having sex was truly a torment. Now that Zhao De had come to the warehouse on his own initiative, Zhang Ai's lonely heart began to stir restlessly again.

Zhao De stepped forward, reached out a hand, and gently grabbed her trembling hand. Feeling it was very cold, he said with concern, "Sister Ai, why aren't you wearing gloves? Look at your hands, they're so cold, frozen like radishes."

Zhang Ai had her hand grabbed by him. Having not felt a man's warmth and breath for a long time, she felt her restless heart pounding. She was a bit nervous, raised her apricot eyes slightly, her cheeks flushed red, and she breathed lightly, saying, "Little Zhao, why... why do you have time to come to the warehouse today?"

"Sister Ai, I came to tell you some good news." Zhao De couldn't suppress the joy in his heart and wanted to share it with her. He smiled with a relaxed expression and held her hand tightly, making her restless heart beat like a deer. The scent of the man made her feel a bit intoxicated. She raised her shy face, looked at him straight for a moment, then lowered her eyelids and asked in a soft voice, "What... what good news?"

"I've been transferred to the Safety and Quality Section."

Upon hearing this, a shallow smile appeared on Zhang Ai's face, and she was happy for him. "Little Zhao, you've been promoted?"

Zhao De nodded, "Finally, I don't have to work under that bastard Zhang Da."

Thinking that Zhao De was leaving the Logistics Department and wouldn't have much time to contact her in the future, Zhang Ai felt a bit lost. She lowered her face and said indifferently, "Oh, then... then congratulations."

"Sister Ai, go home first after work this afternoon, and I'll come find you at your place, how's that?" Zhao De asked with a devilish smile, using one hand to lift her chin and look at her straight.

That firm gaze and devilish smile made Zhang Ai's heart beat even faster, and even her breathing rhythm became a bit disordered. She glanced at him gloomily, lowered her eyelids, and nodded.

At this moment, the sound of messy footsteps rang out outside the warehouse door. Fatty Sister came in carrying half a bucket of water. Zhao De hurriedly let go of her hand, patted her fragrant shoulders twice, and said, "Alright, that's it then."

Fatty Sister had already come in with the water. Zhao De turned back and put on a straight face again, scolding with his eyebrows raised, "Put out the fire! You are not allowed to light a fire in the warehouse again!"

"Okay, okay." Fatty Sister nodded and bowed with a smile, carrying the water over to douse the fire.

Zhao De turned back and gave Zhang Ai a wink, then walked out. When he reached the warehouse door, he remembered the main business, stopped, and turned back to ask, "Sister Ai, has the warehouse been inventoried recently?"

Zhang Ai looked up and said, "It was inventoried just two days ago."

"Nothing missing?"

Zhang Ai shook her head, "No, why?"

"That's good, I need to hand over my work clearly."

Zhao De came out of the warehouse, went to knock on Zhang Da's office door to report his work, then returned to his office to warm himself by the fire, smoke a cigarette, and wait for work to end.
