Chapter 2587: Naturally Very Happy

As a woman who had been in places of wind and moon for many years, being able to know a man who was young and promising in a government unit and whom she also liked very much, Tong Lan was naturally very happy. However, after knowing Zhao Desan, she also carried the task assigned by "Golden Leopard", needing to take the opportunity of becoming friends with Zhao Desan to tactfully probe his thoughts, trying to let "Black Dog" and the others surrender to "Golden Leopard", completing the task assigned to her by "Golden Leopard", and being able to leave "Golden Leopard" in a friendly way.

"Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao, what does your unit mainly do?" Tong Lan very cleverly entered the topic from his work.

"Mainly responsible for the engineering construction of the development zone, anyway, everything related to this is about the same." Zhao Desan couldn't summarize the unit's work content in one or two sentences, so he said it casually.

Tong Lan smiled and said, "Then work should be very busy, and you rarely have time to come out and relax, right?"

Zhao Desan said, "Sometimes busy, sometimes nothing to do, but it's a bit far from the city, so I rarely come out."

"Anyway, you have a diamond membership card, come over for a drink when you have time, and bring your friends together. It's lively when there are many people." Tong Lan gradually led the topic to "Black Dog" and the others.

"Sister Tong, you don't know, government units are full of intrigue, where are there any friends?" Zhao Desan said with an "alas".

"What about your friends from last time?" Tong Lan gradually introduced the main topic.

"Hey! They are a bunch of fox friends and dog companions from society, but don't say, my brothers are really decent. That night, if it weren't for them, with Sun Mao Mao bringing so many people, one mouthful of spit each could have drowned me." Speaking of Han Wu and the others, Zhao Desan felt quite lucky to know them.

"That's right, your friends are all quite good at fighting and are also loyal." Tong Lan said with a smile.

"How long has Sister Tong been working here?" Zhao Desan suddenly changed the subject. While probing Tong Lan, Zhao Desan was also very interested in the past of this beautiful woman. As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle. To conquer this woman who made him fascinated, he must master everything about her, do it flawlessly, and then he can sit back and relax. This is something Zhao Desan must do before conquering every woman.

Tong Lan was stunned for a moment and smiled gently, "Several years."

"Sister Tong, did you apply for the job yourself, or have you always been working with Boss Jin?" Zhao Desan felt that if Tong Lan had always been working with "Golden Leopard", she definitely wasn't a simple woman. Then he must weigh the consequences before making a move. If she was "Golden Leopard's" food, he definitely wouldn't go and fight for food with "Golden Leopard". His own affairs were one after another, and if he offended "Golden Leopard" for a woman and made another enemy, it would be a loss that outweighed the gain.

"Me? I've always been working with Boss Jin." Tong Lan answered with a smile.

Hearing such an answer, Zhao Desan began to retreat in his heart. If that was the case, wouldn't his idea fall through? At least he didn't dare to act rashly. This woman was like a rose with thorns, not daring to pick it easily. Zhao Desan chuckled, his smile changed subtly, and he probed her personal life again. He feigned indifference and asked casually, "Then Sister Tong, are you married?"

Tong Lan didn't directly answer Zhao Desan's sensitive question, but smiled and asked him back, "What do you guess?"

"You should be married, right?" Zhao Desan guessed with a smile, saying one thing while meaning another.

Tong Lan nodded indifferently and smiled.

"Married?" Tong Lan's answer made Zhao Desan a bit disappointed. He couldn't help but open his eyes wide and asked with a look of surprise.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Tong Lan had a charming smile on her face, looking at him with suspicious eyes. In fact, she also wanted to test Zhao Desan to see if he was really interested in whether she was single or not. If the two were mutually interested and fell in love, maybe she could capture this young and promising guy. Once she relied on a government leader like him who had background and status, she would have the capital and confidence to break away from "Golden Leopard's" control.

"No... nothing." Zhao Desan realized that his reaction was a bit oversensitive, so he hurriedly shook his head with an embarrassed smile and said, "A woman as beautiful as Sister Tong must be married. My question was redundant." Between his words, a sense of disappointment was faintly revealed.

Seeing the disappointment on Zhao Desan's face, Tong Lan was happy instead. Didn't this just show that this young man was quite interested in whether she was single or not? Tong Lan brushed her hair at her temples, smiled gently, and asked Zhao Desan back, "What about Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao brother?"

"Me what?" Zhao Desan was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Tong Lan was asking.

"Is Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao brother married?" Tong Lan explained with a smile.

"Me? Sister Tong, what do you guess?" Zhao Desan also played with a password with a smile.

"Married." Tong Lan said decisively without hesitation.

"How can Sister Tong be so sure?" Zhao Desan was very strange about how Tong Lan could so decisively judge that he was married.

Tong Lan said eloquently, "Like Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao brother, who is so young and promising, and also tall and handsome, you definitely wouldn't be alone."

Zhao Desan chuckled and denied her guess, "Actually, not only am I not married, but I don't even have a girlfriend now." After telling this lie, Zhao Desan felt a faint pain between his legs. However, since he wanted to have deep contact with women, only by disguising himself as a bachelor would he have more advantages.

Tong Lan was clearly surprised by his words, slightly raised her two willow-leaf eyebrows, and stared straight at him with those deep, dark, and shiny eyeballs, saying somewhat incredulously, "No way?"

"Really." Zhao Desan affirmed with a smile.

"For a man as outstanding as you, Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao, it's understandable that you don't have a suitable marriage partner and aren't married yet, but I don't believe you don't even have a girlfriend." Tong Lan expressed doubt about Zhao Desan's words.

Seeing that Tong Lan was indeed an old hand and not easy to fool, Zhao Desan began to exert his ability to speak like a lotus flower. He looked at her feignedly seriously and said, "This matter also depends on fate. It's not that I can find one if I want to. At least it has to be suitable, and the two must be mutually interested. If fate hasn't arrived, then it's better not to find one."

Looking at Zhao Desan's serious look, Tong Lan felt that what he said was quite reasonable. She smiled lightly and said, "That's true too. Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao brother, you are so excellent, you must have high standards and don't look down on ordinary girls."

Zhao Desan chuckled and said, "I don't want to think about these things now. A real man should prioritize his career. Besides, I'm quite busy all day long and don't have time to care about this."

Tong Lan nodded and said, "That's true. Men should put their careers first, but Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao brother, you are already thirty, at the age to start a family. It's about time, don't drag it on anymore. If you are too old, it won't be easy to find one."

Zhao Desan chuckled, stared at Tong Lan with a strange look, sighed "alas", and said with some regret, "I did take a fancy to a woman, but she is already married."

Tong Lan was a smart woman and heard that Zhao Desan was tactfully expressing that he had fallen in love with her at first sight. She smiled and played dumb, saying, "That's a bit of a pity, after all, she is married."

Seeing that although Tong Lan didn't have any particularly obvious reaction, the sudden flash of surprise and shyness in her eyes showed that Tong Lan should have heard his subtext. Suddenly realizing that he had only met Tong Lan alone for the first time and expressed such thoughts, it was a bit too impatient. Therefore, Zhao Desan laughed heartily and specifically explained, "Sister Tong, don't misunderstand, the woman I mentioned is not you." But after saying this, Zhao Desan suddenly felt that his explanation was counterproductive. It would have been better not to explain. As soon as he explained, he saw that Tong Lan's eyes had a subtle change, making Zhao Desan not dare to look directly into her eyes.

But fortunately, Tong Lan was stunned for less than two seconds before easing the atmosphere and saying with a smile, "How could I misunderstand? Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao brother and I have only met alone for the first time. If you really said you liked me, I wouldn't believe it."

"Exactly." Zhao Desan felt slightly relieved and said with a smile.

During their first meeting alone, if such a topic continued, both of them would be embarrassed. After figuring out Zhao Desan's attitude toward her, Tong Lan appropriately terminated such a topic, poured two more glasses of wine, handed one to Zhao Desan, and said, "Come, Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao brother, I'm very happy to know you today, let's have another drink, okay?" ===== CHAPTER 2588 =====
