Chapter 1954

... settle the money for us! Otherwise, don't blame me, Li Fang, for turning against you! I only agreed not to demand more compensation for our downtime because I thought you, Deputy Division Chief Liu, were a man of your word. I didn't expect that after we'd already agreed, you'd drag it out again! If I don't get the money today, don't blame me for turning against you!" Li Fang's attitude did a complete 180-degree turn. She looked serious and spoke to Zhao Desan with great determination.

Seeing Li Fang's sudden change in attitude, Zhao Desan was truly intimidated by this straightforward woman for a moment. He scratched his head and stammered, "Sister Li, you... aren't you forcing me?"

"How am I forcing you? Paying back debts is only right and proper. This is all in black and white with a red thumbprint, written clearly. I, Li Fang, just want to get back the hard-earned money my brothers deserve! I don't care, you must resolve this matter for me today!" Li Fang said aggressively.

Zhao Desan saw that Li Fang looked like she wouldn't give up until she got the money. Although he hadn't dealt with this woman much, he had at least slept with her, and he didn't want to owe her anything. Knowing her straightforward nature—that she was a tough nut to crack who ate soft but not hard—he thought for a moment and decided to try his best to resolve the issue for her. He frowned, looked at her helplessly, and said, "How about this, Sister Li? Sit in my office for a while, have some tea, and wait for me. I'll go find our Director and see if he can make a final decision on this today. How's that?"

Seeing that Zhao Desan was going to find Eunuch Zheng, Li Fang's attitude softened slightly, and her tone became less harsh. "Fine, go find your leader quickly. I'll wait here for a while."

Zhao Desan nodded, stood up, took a disposable paper cup, poured a cup of tea for Li Fang, placed it on the table, and greeted her, "Sister Li, have some water and wait a moment. I'll be right back."

"Go on!" Li Fang glanced at Zhao Desan and waved her hand. She then crossed her legs, took a sip of tea, and looked thoroughly dissatisfied.

Zhao Desan looked at Li Fang's determined expression, shook his head helplessly, bit the bullet, opened the door, left the office, and headed upstairs.

*I don't even know if the old guy is there! * Zhao Desan muttered to himself as he climbed the stairs. When he reached the second floor and looked up, he saw Lan Mei. When their gazes met, time seemed to stand still. They stared at each other blankly for quite a while before Lan Mei finally broke the stalemate. A faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth as she asked, "Xiao Zhao, where are you going?" ===== CHAPTER 1955 =====
