Chapter 256

"Is there a future for the development of the Safety and Quality Section in the future?"

Zhang Ailing smiled lightly: "It must be more promising than staying in the Logistics Department. However, the Safety and Quality Section of the bureau is the busiest department. Now the provincial party committee and the municipal party committee attach great importance to coal mine safety production. The Safety and Quality Section deals with safety production work and often needs to go to the countryside for inspections, which is a bit tiring. If you want to go to the Safety and Quality Section, I will help you move around when I go back."

Zhao De considered it for a while. Anyway, climb up slowly. Going to any department is better than staying in the Logistics Department and managing a few people who sweep garbage and clean! He nodded and said: "Alright, then I have to trouble you, Director Zhang."

"Comrade Xiao Zhao, as long as you treat me like this, I won't treat you badly." Zhang Ailing smiled gently, and at the same time warned him: "But our matter must be kept secret. Don't let people in the bureau know, and don't let my husband know, otherwise your future will be ruined."

Zhao De was a shrewd person and nodded: "Director Zhang, don't worry, only heaven knows, earth knows, you know, and I know about our matter."

Zhang Ailing's face was filled with a charming smile. The apricot eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses were extremely alluring. She blinked her eyelids and said: "Alright, the matter is done, and it's comfortable. Let's go down the mountain. The wind is really cold."

"Director Zhang, you go down first, I'll go down later. It's not good to be seen going down the mountain together." Zhao De was cautious in doing things. Zhang Ailing liked this very much, nodded and said: "Alright, I'll go down, you come down later." After speaking, she stood up, pulled up the collar of her coat to wrap her neck, smiled at him with tenderness and charm, turned around, and went down the mountain along the path she came from.

Zhao De leaned on the thick tree trunk, lit a cigarette, and slowed down. Thinking that Zhang Ailing said she would transfer him to the Safety and Quality Section, he felt beautiful in his heart. Finally, he didn't have to stay in that crappy place in the Logistics Department.

As long as he follows her, there will definitely be meat to eat. This transfer is the first step in his official career. With the first step, will the second step be far away?

The miasma in the mountains was very heavy. In the evening, the whole mountain top was covered with a layer of thick white fog. The antique buildings of the villa were located on the mountain top, looming in the fog, as ethereal and illusory as a fairyland.

In the evening, the service staff knocked on the door and called Zhao De to have a meal.

When he arrived at the restaurant, everyone had arrived. Lin Dafa was still accompanying them in the evening. The atmosphere at the wine table was very active. After eating and drinking, Lin Dafa said he would take everyone to wash in the hot spring. Six or seven people were taken by him to the indoor hot spring of the villa, changed their clothes, and soaked in the hot spring.

Zhang Ailing asked Wang Anguo: "Old Wang, do you know that Xiao Ma was transferred to the municipal government by the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department?"

Wang Anguo wiped the sweat from his face and said: "I heard that Xiao Ma has been promoted. The young man has only been in the bureau for a year and was transferred to the Municipal Government Resource Section. The future is boundless."

Zhao De was a few meters away from Director Zhang, leaning against the edge of the hot spring pool, looking at her sideways, wondering if she had already started to consult for opinions? He was a bit uneasy and concerned about their conversation. Wang Anguo was a stumbling block in his official career, and he had been holding a grudge against him for stealing the confidential information of the last Xiaogou Coal Mine bid.

"Old Wang, look, now that Xiao Ma is gone, the Safety and Quality Section is missing one person. I'm thinking that Comrade Xiao Zhao is a very good young man, smart, and down-to-earth. What do you think about transferring him to the Safety and Quality Section to replace Xiao Ma's vacancy?"

Wang Anguo was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Director Zhang, Comrade Xiao Zhao is quite good, but... now there are many young people in the bureau, and the competition for talent is fierce. Regarding the matter of transferring Comrade Xiao Zhao to the Safety and Quality Section... I think it is more appropriate for the bureau to organize a meeting to consult the opinions of other leaders. Otherwise, if Comrade Xiao Zhao is transferred to the Safety and Quality Section like this, I am afraid that others in the bureau will not be convinced... What do you think, Director Zhang?"

Damn! This old bastard is really tit-for-tat, intending to prevent Director Zhang from changing my position! Damn it! Zhao De cursed in his heart, raised his head and leaned against the edge of the hot spring pool, took a long breath, and pricked up his ears to listen to what Director Zhang would say next.

Zhang Ailing blinked and smiled calmly: "Old Wang, what you said is also right. Then wait until we return to the bureau to organize the leadership team to hold a meeting. Everyone will decide who among the young people in the bureau is better to take over the vacancy in the Safety and Quality Section. Old Wang, is this okay?"

Zhang Ailing went with the flow, following his meaning, and it was just a formality. In the Coal Bureau, as long as she intended to handle things, other leaders would not intentionally oppose it.

Zhao De listened to Zhang Ailing following Wang Anguo's meaning, looked up at the dome, sighed, and wiped the sweat from his face. He felt that in this way, Wang Anguo would definitely think of ways to prevent this matter. In fact, he didn't see the dark game in the officialdom very clearly. Zhang Ailing could say this to Wang Anguo face-to-face, so she was already sure of winning this matter.

Wang Anguo smiled and said: "Okay, okay."

Zhang Ailing turned her face and gave Zhao De a ghostly smile. This kind of smile was like a ray of light in the dark, making Zhao De see a glimmer of hope again. After getting along for a period of time, he could figure out one or two of Zhang Ailing's expressions. A smile like this must be telling himself that there was great hope for this matter.

Zhang Xiaoyan stayed far away from Zhao De and Wang Anguo when soaking in the hot spring. This was the first time Zhao De saw her wearing a bikini. Her hot figure with a protruding front and a warped back was not inferior to Li Shanshan, but she was not as tall as Li Shanshan. He couldn't help but scan Zhang Xiaoyan a few more times, which made her feel a bit flustered. I don't know if it was the temperature of the hot spring or if she was a bit flustered, but her cheeks were slightly red, and her young girl's heart was beating like a drum.

In this happy atmosphere, Zhao De couldn't help but think of Ma Lan. He hadn't even said a word or sent a message to her for several days. He saw her at the groundbreaking ceremony today, but she just glanced at him coldly, and disappeared soon after attending the groundbreaking ceremony, without even a greeting or a smile.

After soaking in the hot spring for a while, Zhao De came up from the hot spring pool in advance, took a bath, returned to his room alone, leaned on the head of the bed, and called Ma Lan. The cold prompt tone was still in the earpiece: "Sorry, the number you dialed is powered off."

Sister Lan still put my number on the blacklist? Zhao De thought disappointedly, put down his mobile phone, lit a cigarette, closed his eyes and recalled Ma Lan's voice and smile, that warm smile like spring snow, bright eyes like the moon, sweet voice, echoing in his mind.

I don't know how long it took, the phone suddenly vibrated. He thought it was Ma Lan, and picked up the phone from the head of the bed with joy. When he saw "Director Zhang" on the screen, he answered in disappointment.

"Comrade Xiao Zhao, are you in the room?"

"Yes, Director Zhang, what instructions do you have?"

"Then come over, come to my room." Zhang Ailing instructed.

This woman, could it be that she wants to? Zhao De thought to himself, but deliberately asked her with a smile: "Director Zhang, it's getting late, not sleeping yet, what's the matter?"

"You'll know when you come."

"Oh, that's fine, I'll be there soon."

He got out of bed and opened the door to go out in slippers. Just as he opened a gap, he saw Zhang Xiaoyan looking around in the corridor, sneaking her head, walking hurriedly toward Wang Anguo's room, knocked on the door twice, looked around, and pushed the door in.

Staying in this remote villa, it is really convenient for that bastard to handle Zhang Xiaoyan! Zhao De smiled secretly. After Zhang Xiaoyan entered Wang Anguo's room, he came out of the room, walked to the door of Wang Anguo's room, and stopped quietly to listen to the movement inside.

"Deputy Director Wang, you called me over so late, what... what's the matter?"

"Xiao Zhang, not sleeping yet?"

"I was just about to sleep."

"That means you haven't slept yet. Accompany me to talk. Look at how quiet this villa is. It's lonely to stay in this room alone, isn't it?"

"Deputy Director Wang... you... you should rest early, it's not early."

"In such a good environment, isn't it a waste of time to sleep? Xiao Zhang, I brought you out today mainly to let you collect wind and write a report when you go back. After walking around today, what are your thoughts?"

"I... haven't thought about it yet."

"Then don't think about it for the time being. Work matters will be handled slowly when you go back. It's not easy to come out once, so you must cherish this opportunity. Xiao Zhang, don't you think so?" Wang Anguo smiled and approached her, resting his big fat palms on her fragrant shoulders without any hesitation.

Zhang Xiaoyan's cheeks were slightly red due to nervousness, and her body trembled, but after all, it was not the first time for a new daughter-in-law to get on a sedan chair. In addition to nervousness, she was actually looking forward to it. Although Wang Anguo's ability in that aspect was not half of his official handling, he was a man after all. To say that doing that thing was still a feeling.
