Chapter 2307

Seeing Jia Wanli's willow eyebrows tightly locked and her look of thirst for knowledge, Zhao Desan asked solemnly, "Little sister-in-law, do you really want to know?"

Jia Wanli nodded without hesitation, her beautiful face cold, and glared at him as if she wouldn't let the matter rest, saying, "If you can't give me a proper explanation for this lipstick mark today, I... I won't be finished with you!"

Seeing Jia Wanli's attitude of not letting the matter rest, Zhao Desan sighed and said helplessly, "Little sister-in-law, if you really must know, then I'll tell you. To tell you the truth, it was your cousin, Deputy Section Chief He, who put it there."

After hearing Zhao Desan's honest confession, Jia Wanli said even more surprised, "My cousin put it there?"

Zhao Desan nodded helplessly, swallowed, and said with an innocent face, "Little sister-in-law, you also know the relationship between Deputy Section Chief He and me. She is a leader, and sometimes I am forced to do so. You should also understand me."

Seeing Zhao Desan's realistic acting, Jia Wanli was actually fooled by him. As He Liping's cousin, Jia Wanli also knew what kind of woman He Liping was. Her ability to rise step by step in her career was one aspect, but more importantly, she was good at using her innate advantage as a woman of extraordinary beauty, and by using her intimate relationship with male leaders that exceeded the normal, she climbed to her current high position in a very short time. Jia Wanli could certainly understand that He Liping, who had always maintained that abnormal relationship with those old men, although now in a high position, had not been truly satisfied in body and mind. Especially for a woman like her in her forties, at the age of a wolf or a tiger, how could she let go of the tall and handsome Zhao Desan by her side?

Although Jia Wanli was very dissatisfied with He Liping's behavior from the bottom of her heart, especially the strong selfishness of women, which made her feel very unbalanced, He Liping was her cousin, and it was she who used the power in her hands to arrange her into this lucrative government department. Because of these aspects, Jia Wanli couldn't say anything, and she expressed understanding toward Zhao Desan. She rolled her eyes at Zhao Desan, softened her tone, and said, "Then... if it's her, then... forget it..."

Seeing He Liping soften her expression and tone, Zhao Desan asked with a mischievous smile, "Little sister-in-law, are you not angry anymore?"

Jia Wanli softened her tone, looked at him with feigned anger, and said, "This time... this time it's excusable."

Zhao Desan laughed "Hehe," patted her back gently, and consoled her, "Alright, little sister-in-law, we have been working together for so long. I'm leaving next week. Before I leave, let's cooperate well, get the work at hand done, and strive to leave a good impression for both of us." As he spoke, Zhao Desan returned to his desk, sat down, took a sip of tea, and began to immerse himself in work.

Zhao Desan was a person who was clear about gratitude and grudges and saw things through to the end. Even if Zheng the Bald Donkey hadn't said those things to him today, he would still have done his work in an orderly manner. He didn't want to be criticized by his successors for not handing over the work well, not to mention that the person taking over his work was Zheng Ru, whom he had always felt guilty toward. He had to arrange the work in an orderly manner before leaving.

Before getting off work at noon, Zhao Desan's cell phone rang, interrupting his focus on work. He picked up his phone and saw that it was actually Bureau Chief Sun's number. He thought to himself, "Damn, I was just planning to look for you at noon, but I didn't expect you to deliver yourself to my door. This is actually good." So, without hesitation, he answered the phone: "Hello! Bureau Chief Sun, how are you?" After connecting the call, Zhao Desan greeted him politely with a smile.

"Are you that so-called Deputy Section Chief Liu from the Provincial Construction Commission?" Bureau Chief Sun asked on the phone with a hint of contempt.

Hearing the contemptuous tone of this old guy, Zhao Desan immediately felt a bit annoyed. He cursed to himself, "Damn, the time for you to cry is yet to come!" Although he was cursing like this in his heart, he still said respectfully and smilingly on the surface: "Yes, yes, Bureau Chief Sun, it's me. Bureau Chief Sun, do you have any instructions for me?" Zhao Desan took the initiative.

"Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao, didn't you call me last night saying you had something important to say?" Bureau Chief Sun was stunned by Zhao Desan's question and asked back a bit angrily.

Zhao Desan then feigned a sudden realization, said "Oh," laughed "Hehe," and said, "Yes, yes, there is a relatively important matter I would like to discuss with you, Bureau Chief Sun."

Bureau Chief Sun said impatiently, "Then go ahead, what is it?"

Zhao Desan laughed "Hehe" and deliberately dragged it out, saying, "Eh... Bureau Chief Sun, I'm afraid this matter is not easy to talk about over the phone."

Hearing Zhao Desan's stammering answer, the old fox surnamed Sun on the phone became even more impatient and said, "Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao, the two of us have never met. Even if there is something, that is a matter between me and your section chief. Even if you have something, what is there that is not easy to talk about on the phone?"

Hearing the arrogant tone of the old fox surnamed Sun on the phone, the implication seemed to be: I am a dignified Bureau Chief of the Land and Resources Bureau, why should I be frustrated with you, Zhao Desan? He thought to himself: Damn, although a man can bend and stretch, I, damn it, don't bow and scrape to just anyone! He also gave an unfriendly "Hmph" laugh and dropped a line: "I wonder if Bureau Chief Sun still remembers the time in the first half of the year when you were caught red-handed soliciting prostitutes in a hotel?" After dropping this ruthless line that was extremely lethal to the old fox surnamed Sun, Zhao Desan didn't give the old fox any room to maneuver and hung up the phone directly.

Just as Zhao Desan hung up the phone, Jia Wanli pushed the door open after coming back from the restroom. Seeing him with a straight face, looking fierce, it really made Jia Wanli feel a bit terrified. She asked him suspiciously, "What's wrong with you? Who provoked you?"

Zhao Desan was stunned for a moment. Seeing Jia Wanli slightly furrowing her beautiful eyebrows and looking at him with a puzzled face, he immediately put on a cheeky smile and said, "Nothing, I'm just thinking about a problem."

Jia Wanli then breathed a sigh of relief, walked back to her seat, and softened her tone, saying, "Seeing your fierce look, I thought something happened to you."

Zhao Desan laughed "Hehe," stood up, took his coat from the back of the chair, and said to Jia Wanli, "Wanli, I'm going out to handle some business. If anyone looks for me, you hold the fort for a while."
