Chapter 206

"That's fine." Zhang Ailing turned around, her hands stuffed into the pockets of her woolen coat, "Let's go, drive me to Jiefang Road, I'm going to buy a set of winter clothes."

So that was it. Zhao De said in a difficult way: "But work hasn't ended yet?"

Zhang Ailing smiled contemptuously: "Afraid of Section Chief Zhang's criticism? It's okay, if he criticizes you, let him come to me."

She dispelled Zhao De's concerns.

"That's good, are we going now?" Zhao De asked.

"Yes." Zhang Ailing nodded, "Let's go." She went over, opened the door, and walked out.

Zhao De turned off the electric heater, hurriedly followed her out of the office, ran two steps, and walked side by side with her.

Arriving at her special car in the front courtyard, Zhang Ailing handed him the car key and said: "Get in the car."

Zhao De hurriedly opened the car door, carefully welcomed her into the car, ran around to open the driver's seat door, got in, started the car, and drove out of the Coal Bureau gate.

"Bureau Chief Zhang, where is your driver?" Zhao De asked in confusion, "Why did you ask me to drive for you?"

"Not feeling well, asked for leave."

"Then doesn't your secretary go with you?" Zhao De asked tentatively. Under normal circumstances, as long as Li Shanshan was in the unit, no matter where Bureau Chief Zhang went, she was always inseparable.

"Xiao Li, she is in the office." Zhang Ailing said, turned her head, and blinked, "I, I just brought you out alone to accompany me to buy clothes. Comrade Xiao Zhao, didn't they say you are very smart? Why can't you figure this out!"

"Oh..." Zhao De tilted his face and smiled wickedly at Zhang Ailing, having already understood her intention.

Zhang Ailing smiled at him knowingly, brushed her ear-length short hair, revealing a hint of style in her knowledge, and a dusty charm in her nobility. A woman nearly fifty years old, she looked even more charming and beautiful.

"By the way, Bureau Chief Zhang, does our bureau have a party on New Year's Day?"

"Yes, it's held every year to enrich the work atmosphere. Not only our bureau, but units under the municipal committee will hold internal parties to activate the cultural life of the vast number of employees."

"Section Chief Zhang asked me to perform a program for the Logistics Section." Zhao De sighed, "I don't know what program is good to perform."

Zhang Ailing turned her head, raised her eyebrows, and asked with a smile: "Really? That's not bad. This is also an opportunity for self-expression. If you win a prize, it's also an honor for you personally. In my opinion, you are suitable for performing sketches, and you will definitely win a prize."

"Sketch?" Zhao De glanced at Bureau Chief Zhang, "I guess it won't work."

"Your personality is more outgoing, so you are suitable for performing sketches."

Bureau Chief Zhang gave him an idea. After her reminder, Zhao De really felt that he could only perform sketches. He was tone-deaf in singing, and he was even more blind in dancing.

"Okay, then I'll think about it carefully, go home at night and search online to see what funny sketches there are, and learn carefully."

"I'm afraid there's no time tonight." Zhang Ailing smiled eerily and glanced at him.

Zhao De saw her expression and already understood what she meant, so he followed her meaning and smiled wickedly: "Then tomorrow night, anyway, it's more than half a month until New Year's Day."

The car drove to Jiefang Road and found a place to park. Zhao De hurriedly got out of the car respectfully and opened the car door for her, bent over to welcome her out of the car, fully like her full-time driver.

He followed behind Zhang Ailing, wandering from shop to shop. She bought a piece of clothing, and he hurriedly took it and carried it. For the sake of his future, he could only submit to being the secret lover of this old woman who held heavy power.

Because it was mid-week, the weather was cold, and the wind was strong, there were few people on the street, so Zhao De followed Zhang Ailing closely, not afraid of being seen by acquaintances. Walking from one end of Jiefang Road Pedestrian Street to the other, when he walked to Junli Square, he saw an old couple looking at them from afar. Zhao De was a bit puzzled, feeling that these two people looked familiar. When he remembered that they were Li Shanshan's parents, he wanted to go up and say hello, but they were already gone.

Zhang Ailing walked to the door of an underwear shop, turned back and asked with a wicked smile: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, do you want to come in with me?"

"This... selling underwear... I won't go in." He smiled awkwardly.
