Chapter 3129: Suppressed Her Laughter

Tong Xiaoli finally suppressed her laughter, but a sneering expression still hung on her face, saying, "How did you do this? How did you bump your nose?" After saying that, she reached out a hand to touch his nose lightly.

"Ouch..." The injured nose was touched by Tong Xiaoli, and a piercing pain immediately made Zhao Desan grimace and shout.

Tong Xiaoli saw Zhao Desan's painful appearance, hurriedly withdrew her hand, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

"It would be fine if you didn't touch it." Zhao Desan grimaced, saying with a painful face.

Tong Xiaoli saw Zhao Desan's funny appearance and laughed out loud. Seeing Zhao Desan glaring at her fiercely, she hurriedly covered her mouth. After a while, she raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, "By the way, Zhao Desan, why did you come here?"

"Yo, coming to a higher-level unit for a high position, you don't even call me Director anymore?" Zhao Desan looked at her with that contemptuous look and said.

Actually, it wasn't that Tong Xiaoli didn't know her place because she came to the Provincial Construction Committee, but because Tong Xiaoli now didn't treat Zhao Desan like other leaders at all. She completely looked at him with the eyes of a peer and treated him as her friend. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "What are you saying! Seriously, why did you come here? Is there something wrong?"

Zhao Desan said, "Came to see you, what else could be wrong? I didn't even know when you left."

Tong Xiaoli said somewhat helplessly, "I couldn't help it, it was Director Gao who temporarily told me to come to the Provincial Construction Committee to help."

Zhao Desan looked around vigilantly, then said mysteriously to Tong Xiaoli, "It's not temporary. I estimate that since you've been transferred here, it's hard to go back..."

Tong Xiaoli looked at Zhao Desan with a curious face and couldn't help but interrupt his words and ask, "Why?"

Zhao Desan whispered mysteriously, "Do you know why you were promoted?"

Tong Xiaoli shook her head blankly and said, "I don't know."

"Because you're making room for someone else," Zhao Desan said.

"Making room? For whom?" Tong Xiaoli asked curiously.

"Director Zheng's own niece, Liu Yue," Zhao Desan said. "Have you forgotten the public recruitment interview at the unit two days ago? There was only one spot, and the competition was fierce. Director Zheng specifically gave instructions to Yu Haiping. In order to get his own niece into the unit, your position was vacated."

Tong Xiaoli suddenly realized, couldn't help but widen her eyes, looked at Zhao Desan with astonishment, and said, "So that's it. I was wondering why I was suddenly promoted without any signs. I was thinking why you didn't tell me in advance. So you were kept in the dark too."

Zhao Desan said, "I just found out too. But to tell you the truth, Xiao Li, you're a blessing in disguise this time, being promoted all of a sudden."

Tong Xiaoli said indifferently, "Forget it, I don't even like staying here. Being promoted directly from the district to here, people here seem to have opinions about me, ignoring me. It's not as comfortable as staying in the district."

"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier!" Zhao Desan said.

Tong Xiaoli looked at Zhao Desan with those big, affectionate eyes and said, "But I really don't like it here."

"When you're here, you should be at ease," Zhao Desan comforted her with a grin. "By the way, has that Division Chief Lan Mei talked to you?"

"Mm, Division Chief Lan came to sit with me when eating lunch. She told me to find her if there's anything I don't understand." As she spoke, Tong Xiaoli looked at Zhao Desan with curious eyes, realizing that Division Chief Lan took the initiative to care about her, it must be because Zhao Desan had greeted her.

"That's good. I can be considered Division Chief Lan's proud student. I specifically told her to take care of you in the future," Zhao Desan said somewhat triumphantly.

Tong Xiaoli said happily, "Oh, I was wondering, I haven't had any dealings with Division Chief Lan, why did she take the initiative to care about me?"

Zhao Desan was also very happy, nodded, and said, "Then you should perform well here. I have something to do, so I'll go first."

Tong Xiaoli nodded.

Zhao Desan walked toward the underground garage and saw He Liping just walking up from the underground garage, followed by a man. Zhao Desan saw the man's appearance and remembered that when he came to find He Liping that day, he had seen this man. Zhao Desan thought, *So this man isn't He Liping's husband. Damn it, she lied to me! So she was just fooling around with this man in the car! *

He Liping also looked at Zhao Desan and was stunned for a moment. Zhao Desan said with a smile, "Director He, I just went to find you but you weren't there."

He Liping said with a smile, "Is there something?"

Zhao Desan smiled, "Nothing, just wanted to report the work in the district these past few days to you."

He Liping said with a smile, "If you want to report, you should go to the Municipal Construction Committee to report to Ma Debang. Besides, what should be done and what shouldn't be done, you've been the District Construction Committee Director for a year, don't you know? Hehe, you guys go ahead and do it, I still trust you." Zhao Desan nodded.

After chatting with Zhao Desan for a while, He Liping saw Zhao Desan covering his nose the whole time, which looked very strange, so she narrowed her eyes slightly and asked with some confusion, "Xiao Zhao, why do you keep covering your nose?"

Being asked by He Liping like this, Zhao Desan was at a loss for a moment. With no other choice, he could only slowly take his hand away, revealing the nose covered with the black ointment patch.

"What happened to your nose?" He Liping saw this, widened her eyes, and looked at Zhao Desan in surprise.

"I was beaten," Zhao Desan confessed truthfully.

"Beaten? Who beat you?" He Liping felt very confused about Zhao Desan's encounter.

Zhao Desan scratched his head and said, "I don't know either. I met a few little thugs after work, and they said someone paid them to teach me a lesson."

He Liping asked, "Have you offended anyone recently?"

Zhao Desan shook his head and said, "No." Actually, he was also very confused in his heart. Along the way, he had offended too many people. It wouldn't be strange if someone hired those little thugs to retaliate against him. However, what made him very puzzled was that all along, he hadn't seen those enemies find people to retaliate against him. Besides, those opponents in the officialdom wouldn't use such small tricks against him. On the contrary, he hadn't done anything to offend anyone recently, so how did he encounter this matter? This made Zhao Desan feel very strange.

"Then why would someone hire thugs to hurt you?" He Liping frowned, looking at Zhao Desan's funny appearance, feeling very strange about his encounter.

Although he didn't know who exactly hired thugs to retaliate against him, Zhao Desan could be sure of one thing: this mastermind behind the scenes must be someone familiar around him. Thinking of this, he scratched his head and said to He Liping pitifully, "Sister He, I feel it must be someone inside our unit who did it. You must stand up for me."

He Liping said, "You don't even know who did it, how can I stand up for you?" ===== CHAPTER 3130 =====
