Chapter 1966

A male waiter stood at the door. As soon as he saw such a big fat man with a big belly, big ears, and a red face, and a little follower behind him, he knew that this guy was a big deal, so he quickly greeted him with a smile and reached out to open the door of the private room to invite them in.

As soon as the door opened, Eunuch Zheng looked inside and saw six or seven people sitting around a large dining table. Besides Ma Lan and Liu Jianguo, they were Director Sun of the Municipal Land and Resources Bureau, Deputy District Mayor Liu of the Chanba Development Zone, and a Deputy Secretary of the Xijing Municipal Party Committee who was in charge of urban construction.

Seeing Eunuch Zheng coming, everyone stood up with smiles on their faces and rushed to greet Eunuch Zheng. Eunuch Zheng also nodded to everyone with a smile, which was considered a greeting. Then Liu Jianguo accompanied him with a smile and said enthusiastically: "Director Zheng, come, sit, sit. Everyone has arrived, only you are missing, Director Zheng." As he said, he pulled open a chair next to the Deputy Secretary, which symbolized the second-highest status tonight.

Eunuch Zheng sat down in the chair pulled by Liu Jianguo while smiling, then turned his face and greeted the Deputy Secretary of Xijing Municipal Party Committee sitting beside him: "Deputy Secretary Yang is also here." (Because Xijing City is a sub-provincial city, the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee is a sub-provincial cadre, one level higher than Eunuch Zheng).

Deputy Secretary Yang also nodded very politely and said with a smile: "Jianguo invited me tonight, and I happened to have nothing to do, so I came."

Eunuch Zheng nodded, smiled, and flattered: "Then I can have a good drink with Deputy Secretary Yang tonight. The opportunity to drink with Deputy Secretary Yang is really too few."

"Me too. I almost don't interact with Director Zheng usually. We just met a few times at the provincial meeting, right?" Deputy Secretary Yang said politely.

"Yes, yes, yes, met a few times, but I definitely know Deputy Secretary Yang." Eunuch Zheng flattered with his ability to speak. Everyone couldn't insert a word for a while, so they chatted with people on both sides.

Seeing Ma Lan looking at him with strange eyes, Liu Jianguo touched Eunuch Zheng's arm quietly with his hand. The old guy also understood the meaning, gave a clear look, and then said to Deputy Secretary Yang with a smile: "Deputy Secretary Yang, look, everyone has arrived, should we start?"

"See if Jianguo has invited anyone else?" Deputy Secretary Yang said, turning his face to look at Liu Jianguo.

Liu Jianguo shook his head with a smile and said: "No, no, I only invited a few leaders here to have a casual meal today. Then Deputy Secretary Yang, shall we start?"

Reminded by Deputy Secretary Yang's words, Eunuch Zheng suddenly found that Zhao Desan didn't follow. He followed and disappeared. So he looked at the door of the private room and saw one of Zhao Desan's feet exposed at the door. Eunuch Zheng understood a little in his heart, thinking that this guy must be embarrassed to come in, and he must have seen Ma Lan inside.

The old guy guessed correctly. After Zhao Desan followed him to the door of the private room, when the door of the private room pushed open, the first thing he saw was Ma Lan sitting diagonally opposite. Although Ma Lan's hairstyle had changed and her figure was slightly fuller than before, the mature and noble atmosphere on her body was becoming more and more intense, like a noble lady, emitting a charming atmosphere. But no matter how she changed, the exquisite facial features, the look naturally emitted from her eyes, and the indifferent demeanor and actions in the big scene, these things belonging to her own unique things would never change. Most importantly, the atmosphere she emitted belonging to herself was like a person's label. No matter where she was, no matter how long it had passed, she would carry it with her, letting familiar people know that this was her. As Zhao Desan, who had truly paid feelings and had both emotional and physical entanglements with her, even if Ma Lan sitting inside became another woman with a completely changed appearance, he could still feel her taste from the atmosphere she emitted.

When Zhao Desan saw Ma Lan sitting inside, his head rang, his heart tightened, and then his heartbeat began to accelerate. His body immediately flashed to one side, hiding beside the door, panting, and a big question mark hung in his head. *How could she appear on such an occasion? * Looking at the others in the private room, everyone was fat and big-eared, red-faced. People with this appearance were either leaders or cooks. People who could eat with Eunuch Zheng naturally didn't need to say, they must all be leaders of various units. And that Liu Jianguo was not strange to Zhao Desan at all. He had seen Liu Jianguo sitting in Ma Lan's car on the street with his own eyes, and the two of them were affectionate. Thinking of that scene, Zhao Desan's mind couldn't help but burn with a group of anger again, thinking that Ma Lan was really a bitch, and it was the same ball as Zheng Jie! The reason why he left Yuyang and didn't contact her anymore was because he saw her walking into the hotel with Deputy Mayor Yu Yinliang, who was in charge of coal work. He didn't expect her to appear in Xijing City now and get together with Liu Jianguo.

Thinking of Zheng Jie and looking at Ma Lan, Zhao Desan felt more and more that women were really a kind of animal that was hard to figure out, a kind of animal that must not pay true feelings. The more you pay, the more pain you get. Although Zhao Desan spent far less time with Zheng Jie than he did with Ma Lan, he really paid feelings for this woman. When he found that Zheng Jie betrayed him, he still gave her a chance with fantasy. He didn't expect Zheng Jie not only not to cherish it, but also added insult to injury by wearing a green hat for him, completely hurting his heart. In recent days, although he ignored Zheng Jie's existence because of work, he also felt that he had gradually forgotten this pain. But suddenly thinking of it, it was inevitable that his heart would still ache.

Zhao Desan, who was hiding in the corridor beside the door of the private room, leaning against the wall and panting because of nervousness and unease, didn't know what to do. *Should I enter the private room? * But since he followed the old guy here, suddenly fleeing before the battle, wouldn't that make the old guy hate him even more? If he went in, should he pretend not to know Ma Lan, or take the initiative to greet her? Zhao Desan's brain was a mess, and he didn't know what to do.

When he was hiding in the corridor with a blank mind, not knowing what to do, Eunuch Zheng sitting in the private room had already noticed Zhao Desan's thoughts, further verifying what Li Chang-ping had told him—that there was an abnormal relationship between Zhao Desan and Ma Lan. *It must be that this brat dare not meet Ma Lan on such a big occasion. * Eunuch Zheng thought so. Seeing that everyone had picked up their chopsticks, Eunuch Zheng coughed twice and said to everyone with a smile: "Oh, by the way, I also brought someone here today, forgot to say."

"Director Zheng, it wouldn't be..." As soon as he heard Eunuch Zheng say he brought someone here, Deputy Secretary Yang thought crookedly, and looked at Eunuch Zheng with a tacit look, saying half a sentence.

"No, no, it's a young man from the unit. He happened to be with me today, so I brought him here." Eunuch Zheng quickly explained to Deputy Secretary Yang.

"Director Zheng, then, where is the person?" Liu Jianguo asked suspiciously.

"At the door." Eunuch Zheng said with a smile.

Hearing the old guy's words, Zhao Desan felt his head swell. He looked down and found that one of his feet was exposed at the door. He quietly moved his foot away. Just when he was at a loss for what to do, he heard Eunuch Zheng's call to him: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, come in!"

"Hey!" Zhao Desan sighed, patted his forehead heavily, and then bit the bullet, tried to calm his nervous and uneasy mood, pretended to be calm, turned around, and came to the door of the private room. His eyes didn't dare to look at Ma Lan deliberately, but he forced a smile and nodded and bowed to the group of fat and big-eared guys around the wine table. Although he didn't want to look at Ma Lan deliberately, his eyes still met Ma Lan's eyes inadvertently. At this moment, Zhao Desan seemed to be stagnant suddenly. He clearly saw Ma Lan's eyes wide as an ox's eye, and her fiery red sexy mouth was also wide open, looking very surprised. After a few seconds of being stunned, Zhao Desan immediately came back to his senses and winked at Ma Lan who was still stunned. Although Zhao Desan's subtle changes were minimal, they were still seen by Eunuch Zheng who had been trying to prove something. When Zhao Desan came back to his senses, while walking over and nodding and bowing to Deputy Secretary Yang and Director Sun, Eunuch Zheng shifted his eyes to Ma Lan and found that her eyes were staring at Zhao Desan who sat down. It was a look of affection, a look of grievance and surprise. From this, it could be seen that Zhao Desan and this woman definitely didn't have an ordinary relationship. *Damn it, this brat still has this ability to handle this woman? * Eunuch Zheng secretly admired Zhao Desan in his heart. A woman like Ma Lan, who had a good figure and appearance, noble temperament, and was a strong woman in the business world, was very difficult for ordinary men to handle. He didn't expect that this mature woman who fascinated countless men would be fascinated by Zhao Desan, a small person. Eunuch Zheng really had to admire Zhao Desan!

After Zhao Desan sat down, Eunuch Zheng broke the stalemate on the scene and said with a smile: "I'll introduce you to everyone. This young man is the Deputy Division Chief of our Construction Commission Planning Division, named Zhao Desan. The young man is very capable."

Under Eunuch Zheng's introduction, Zhao Desan

smiled modestly at everyone, but didn't dare to look at Ma Lan.

"Comrade Xiao Zhao looks like he's only twenty years old? He's already the Deputy Division Chief of the Provincial Construction Commission? The young man is truly promising!" Deputy Secretary Yang of the Municipal Party Committee, who was sitting in the position of the highest status opposite, looked at Zhao Desan and smiled kindly.

"Deputy Secretary Yang, you overpraised me. I am already twenty-eight years old this year." Zhao Desan said respectfully with a forced smile.

Director Sun, who was sitting on the side, followed the conversation and said: "Twenty-eight years old is already a Deputy Division Chief, that's also amazing, truly young and promising." ===== CHAPTER 1967 =====
