Chapter 185

The phone on the table vibrated. He picked it up and saw "Director Zhang" on the screen. Zhao De answered it happily.

"Little Zhao, did you receive the personnel transfer order?"

"Director Zhang, I received it. Thank you. You are truly a person of your word; you helped me get it done as soon as you said you would."

On the phone, Zhang Ai asked with a light laugh, "Little Zhao, then how are you going to thank me?"

"Director Zhang, I have a thousand words of gratitude that I can't finish expressing. It seems the only way is to offer myself to you." He joked with a chuckle, making Zhang Ai giggle. "Offering yourself, that won't be necessary. Just be on call whenever I need you."

"Director Zhang, don't worry. As long as you need me, I, Zhao De, will be on call, and I guarantee to serve you well, heh heh..."

"Little Zhao, you really have a sweet mouth, I like it! It seems I didn't promote you in vain. I'll give you more opportunities to perform in the future, so you definitely won't have put in the effort for nothing."

Fuck! To change positions, I've almost been sucked dry by you old woman. If there's no result, it would truly be a waste of effort, Zhao De thought to himself. On the surface, he flattered her with sweet words, "Yes, yes... Thank you for your appreciation and cultivation, Director Zhang. I, Zhao De, will definitely repay your kindness... Others repay a drop of kindness with a spring, today, for your promotion, I, Zhao De, will repay you with my essence, haha..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ai giggled, "Little Zhao, you kid are truly shrewd. Not only do I like you, but the old comrades in the bureau also value you highly. Just having a sweet mouth and being able to talk isn't enough. You have to perform well when you go to the Safety and Quality Section."

"Director Zhang, don't worry, I will definitely work hard and will absolutely not lose face for you."

"Little Zhao, you're not losing face for me, you're losing face for yourself. If you do well, there will naturally be a seat for you in the bureau's Party Committee leadership team in the future. If you don't do well, that's your own business. I'm not all-powerful; who knows, one day I might step down or be transferred. I have someone here, I'm hanging up."

After finishing the call with Zhang Ai, it was already time to get off work. He waited for about twenty minutes, took the opportunity to tidy up his few office supplies, and only after everyone in the bureau had left did he come out of the Logistics Department with his bag on his shoulder.

When he reached the front courtyard, he ran into Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Anguo, who was just about to get into his car. He said to him with a smile, "Little Zhao, congratulations on your transfer to the Safety and Quality Section." That calm, fake smile seemed as if nothing had happened.

"Thank you for your appreciation, leader, heh heh..." Zhao De said with a smile, "Are you just getting off work too, leader?"

"Mm." Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang Anguo nodded with a smile, a strange smirk appearing at the corner of his mouth. He got into the car, his stomach full of anger with nowhere to vent, making him red-faced.

Zhao De had long since learned the "playing dumb" ways of these old veterans. As long as things weren't exposed too clearly on the surface, they would act as if nothing had happened. On the surface, they appeared to get along harmoniously, but in secret, it was a different story of power struggles and mutual calculation. In this way of officialdom, Zhao De clearly felt that he had become much calmer and more steady compared to when he first arrived at the Coal Bureau. Even if he was impatient, he no longer showed it on his face. On his official path, he was gradually entering a better state.

After leaving the bureau, Zhao De couldn't wait to hail a taxi, jump in, and head straight to Zhang Ai's home.

In Yuyang, located in the northwest, the days are very short in winter. When he got into the taxi, it was already pitch black. The nightlife in the prefecture-level city of Yuyang wasn't very colorful, but nightclubs and hotels were booming, mostly because of coal-related businessmen entertaining friends and business partners.

When he arrived at the entrance of the alley where Zhang Ai lived in the suburbs, Zhao De paid the fare and jumped out, unable to wait any longer. Thinking of the way this young married woman acted—half-refusing and half-welcoming, with a hidden passion when they had sex—made him feel itchy all over. He smiled and ducked into the alley, arrived at her door, grabbed the door knocker, and knocked a few times, "Pa, pa, pa..."

A moment later, Zhao De heard light, hurried footsteps in the courtyard walking toward the door. They stopped behind the door, and then Zhang Ai's quiet voice came, "Is that Little Zhao?"

"Yes, Sister Ai," Zhao De replied, already unable to wait to hug her from behind and have sex.

The door creaked open. In the dim light, the two looked at each other. Zhang Ai's cheeks were flushed, she was breathing slightly, and she lowered her head shyly, saying in a low voice, "Come in quickly."

Zhao De didn't move his feet, but instead smiled, placed his hands on her fragrant shoulders, and with a gentle pull, hooked her into his arms. Zhang Ai's body seemed to lose its bones in an instant, and she collapsed softly onto his solid, broad chest.

"Sister Ai, were you already sleeping?" Zhao De asked, seeing her wearing pajamas.

Zhang Ai nodded happily in his arms, "Mm, the child just fell asleep, so I went to sleep too."

At this moment, a few coughs suddenly came from deep in the alley. Someone must be passing by. Zhang Ai panicked, broke free from his arms, grabbed his arm, and said, "Come in quickly, go into the room." She pulled Zhao De in and quickly closed the wooden door.

Zhao De turned around, eagerly pressed her against the back of the door, wrapped one hand around her head, and used the other to knead her full body through her pajamas. He leaned in and pressed his mouth onto Zhang Ai's face in the dim light.

Zhang Ai had waited too long for this moment. She hadn't smelled a man's scent for dozens of days, and the young woman's restless heart was about to explode from loneliness. At this moment, her surging desire seemed like a floodgate opening, rushing down. She was extremely excited, kissing Zhao De intensely, her breathing rapid, her body heaving, seeming as if it was about to burst out of her pajamas.

Zhao De bit her neck and asked, "Sister Ai, did you miss me? Did you miss me?"

"Miss... missed you." Zhang Ai raised her chin and breathed slightly, feeling her body already heating up, itching so much she couldn't stand it. Her hands stroked up and down on Zhao De's back, scratching wildly.

"Sister Ai, I'll make you feel really good tonight!" Zhao De said, breathing rapidly while kissing her neck. He grabbed the collar of her pajamas and pulled it forcefully with brute strength. The pajama tie came undone, and the pajamas opened to both sides, truly extremely tempting.

"Wow! Sister Ai, you're not wearing a bra?" Zhao De said with a devilish smile, unable to wait any longer.
