Chapter 1979: It's Good to Wake Up

When she was sleeping soundly, she felt the broad chest that was wrapping her leave her. At this moment, Ma Lan suddenly woke up, and then looked at her side, finding that Zhao Desan had already sat up on the bed, so she reached out to hold Zhao Desan's waist and asked him lazily where he was going.

"Sister Lan, why did you wake up too?" Zhao Desan saw Ma Lan looking at him affectionately with those watery big eyes, so he leaned over and asked gently.

"You woke up, so I woke up." Ma Lan smiled gently and moved her head into his arms.

"It's dawn, I have to go to work." Zhao Desan gently stroked her hair and said gently.

"Isn't it nine o'clock to go to work?" Ma Lan raised her eyes and said reluctantly.

"What time is it now?" Zhao Desan said to himself, turned to grab the mobile phone on the bedside table and looked at it, finding that it was only seven o'clock, so he put down the phone and lay down again, one hand holding Ma Lan in his arms, one hand holding her smooth little hand on his belly, suddenly remembered the "star-studded" dinner party last night, so he turned his face and looked at her seriously, and asked: "Sister Lan, how much confidence do you think you have in getting that piece of land in the Chanba Development Zone this time?"

Although it is true that so many relevant unit leaders were invited to eat and drink together last night, and those leaders at the wine table also expressed consistent meaning, Ma Lan knows that she is a newcomer, and the interpersonal relationships in big cities are far more complex than the single situation in Yuyang. These officials are basically two-faced. Even if they agree verbally, there may be changes. For this piece of land, many big companies in Xijing are eyeing it, and she doesn't have much confidence. She sighed and said: "I don't know how much confidence I have, I can only take one step at a time, and try to smooth over these relationships."

"The leaders of those relevant units came last night, I think there should be no big problem, right?" Zhao Desan really didn't consider the interpersonal relationship between officials and businessmen as much as Ma Lan, and was deceived by the surface scene at the dinner party last night.

Ma Lan smiled lightly when she heard Zhao Desan say this, and said: "Things are not as simple as you think. Since I can invite them, others will definitely invite them too. This piece of land in the Chanba Development Zone is a sweet pastry now, and too many people are fighting for it. Lin Lin Dafa has already come to Xijing to do real estate, his company has already entered the right track, and he must be fighting for this piece of land."

"Now it is the coal bosses of your Yuyang City who are coming to Xijing in groups to engage in real estate development." Zhao Desan joked when he heard Ma Lan mention Lin Lin Dafa.

Ma Lan smiled lightly, but the smile was a bit unnatural, because only she knew the reason for this. Why she was always fighting with the Lin family and fighting with the Lin family in the business field, this secret only she knew. She wanted to tell Zhao Desan several times, but she couldn't open her mouth.

Seeing Ma Lan not speaking, Zhao Desan looked at her seriously and asked: "Since you said your confidence is not high, Sister Lan, why did those people still come to your social engagement? I think being able to come to eat with you, Sister Lan, at least shows that you are already ahead of others."

"They can come, that is because of Liu Jianguo's invitation. He hosted this table of wine in his name. Although they may all understand, Liu Jianguo is the director of the Municipal Committee Office after all, and his power is not small. They can not give me face, but they will definitely give Liu Jianguo face. So this matter is not as certain as you think. Before signing the development contract with the government, everything is possible." Ma Lan explained the possibility of changes in this matter very clearly. Only she knows why Director Sun, Deputy District Mayor Liu, and Deputy Secretary would give face.

After listening to Ma Lan's words, Zhao Desan gradually understood that this matter was not as simple as he thought. It seems that not only is there a surging game in officialdom, but it seems that there is also a battle without smoke between businessmen for some kind of interest. Who will win this battle and who can laugh last depends entirely on who has a good relationship with the government and who will get the secret support of government leaders. Problems that money can solve, power can definitely solve. Problems that power can solve, money may not necessarily solve.

"Then in this way, Sister Lan... you... you shouldn't be letting that old guy Zheng Zheng Tulu do whatever he wants, right?" Thinking of this, Zhao Desan suddenly worried again, frowning and looking at Ma Lan with worried eyes and asked.

Ma Lan saw Zhao Desan's uneasy look for her sake, and a warm current surged in her heart again. It was because she finally got Zhao Desan's forgiveness after two years, which moved her very much. She blinked those watery big eyes, and there were crystal clear tears in her beautiful eyes, and she said with relief: "Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao, don't worry, Sister won't do anything to apologize to you anymore. I have paid what I should pay. I think with Liu Jianguo's relationship, Director Zheng will not ask me to do too much. Even if he has any improper ideas, I will try my best to delay and refuse."

Hearing Ma Lan say this, Zhao Desan was also very relieved. At least it can show one point: after a night of reliving the old relationship, Ma Lan has paid her heart to him completely. In order not to let him get angry because of her "company," she is willing to make the determination to "shut out" Zheng Zheng Tulu regardless of the impact on getting the land, which moved Zhao Desan very much. So, he also showed the spirit of a man standing upright and daring to act, patting his chest and saying: "Sister Lan, don't worry, even if that old guy is not prepared to help you in this matter, I will definitely help you get this piece of land!"

Looking at the ruthlessness of Zhao Desan making this guarantee, Ma Lan was very moved, but she understood that with Zhao Desan's current status, he is just a small character. Wanting to influence the ownership of this piece of land that many big bosses are fighting for is simply a mantis trying to stop a chariot, overestimating his own strength. So, she was moved and carried some mockery, laughing and saying: "I am very happy that you can say this, and I don't intend to let you help me with anything. You just take care of yourself and don't let that Director Zheng always trouble you."

Zhao Desan saw that Ma Lan was mocking him, as if she didn't believe in his ability, so he raised his eyebrows and asked unhappily: "What? Sister Lan, you don't believe in my, Zhao Desan's, ability?"

Ma Lan stretched out her fair and smooth little hand and patted his face gently, smiling and comforting his self-esteem, saying: "It's not that Sister doesn't believe you, it's that your current ability really can't help me with anything. As long as you are fine now, I don't expect you to help me with anything, understand?"

A man is most afraid of a woman saying he is not good. Seeing that Ma Lan actually had an attitude of "looking down on people," Zhao Desan was a little unhappy. He straightened his face and raised his voice and said: "Then you just wait and see! When you can't handle it yourself, you can see how I help you handle it!" When saying this, Zhao Desan was serious and full of confidence. In fact, he was just trying to regain his man's dignity in front of Ma Lan. If this matter were really left to him, it would probably be very difficult to handle, because he knew that there were indeed many people fighting for this piece of land, and the relationship in this officialdom was indeed as complex as a net. With his existing status and interpersonal relationships, he was far from having the ability to influence the ownership of the land, almost to the point of having no ability to influence at all. Although he had a big backer, Su Qing, the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Committee and Minister of the Organization Department, Su Qing's attitude towards Zhao Desan has always been to let him act low-key, not to form cliques for personal gain in his work, and even more not to collude with outsiders to seek benefits. So he couldn't ask Su Qing for help in this matter at all.

Ma Lan saw Zhao Desan's serious look, and was really moved by his stubbornness. To be honest, she really felt that this guy was a bit overconfident for a while. However, as to whether Zhao Desan was talking big or what, Ma Lan didn't know. After all, when he was at the Yuyang City Coal Bureau, although he was only a placement section chief, he still had the ability to influence the coal mining rights. So, how supernatural he is, sometimes Ma Lan really can't figure it out. So, she smiled lightly and said: "Okay, when Sister can't handle it herself, it will be the time for you to show your skills. Then I want to see how much ability you, Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao, have."

"Okay, when the time comes, whether I, Zhao Desan, am a mule or a horse, we will take it out for a walk and we will know!" Zhao Desan said a ruthless word to Ma Lan who had a warm expression!

Ma Lan saw that Zhao Desan was really playing for real, so she smiled and led the topic to him. She looked at him with tenderness and said gently: "Let's not talk about my affairs. What about you? How are you now?"

"Me? Not good or bad, just like that." Speaking of himself, Zhao Desan seemed to have no confidence in his future.

Ma Lan didn't think so. She blinked and said with a smile: "Why do I feel that you are actually doing quite well now?"

"Why do you think so?" Zhao Desan was very puzzled when he saw Ma Lan smiling and complimenting himself, frowning slightly, and looking at her with a confused look.

"Your Director Zheng can take you out to eat, which is enough to show that you are a red man by the leader's side. Those who can follow the leader out to social engagements are all people the leader values very much." Ma Lan said.

"I am not ordinary, I am the second kind." Zhao Desan played a word game and said. ===== CHAPTER 1980 =====
