Chapter 3842: Listen to My Explanation

Zhao Desan secretly observed Deputy Secretary Liu from the corner of his eye. Seeing her concerned expression, he let out a few more loud sobs and said aggrievedly, "Sister Liu, you must help me. I truly had no other choice but to come to you. Wuwuwu..."

Deputy Secretary Liu handed the tissues to Zhao Desan, furrowed her delicate brows, and said, "Wipe your tears first. What kind of decorum is it for a grown man to be sobbing like this!"

Only then did Zhao Desan take the tissues from Deputy Secretary Liu's hand. While pretending to wipe his tears, he secretly glanced at her and said, "Sister Liu, as long as you agree to help me, I will do anything you ask. Even if you asked me to do what I did for you last time, I... I would be willing..."

Mentioning what happened last time, as a mature woman, Deputy Secretary Liu felt a bit stirred. Zhao Desan's oral skills were truly satisfying to her. Although it was just using his mouth to let her experience a woman's needs, that feeling was surprisingly more stimulating than the real thing. Because when she watched a man working hard beneath her, she felt a very satisfying sense of conquest. Hearing Zhao Desan say this, Deputy Secretary Liu thought for a few seconds, then got up to close the office door. She walked back and sat down beside Zhao Desan, patiently saying, "Tell me what's going on first. If you don't tell me, I won't know what the matter is, nor will I know if I can help you!"

Hearing Deputy Secretary Liu's words, which seemed to imply she was already agreeing to help him, Zhao Desan pretended to sob while saying, "Deputy Secretary Liu, it's like this: there is a support fund from the province that was originally intended for our Chanba District. But because of me, they aren't allocating it to us now. If I can't secure this support fund, it will be my dereliction of duty. The district leaders will have opinions about me. I just became a deputy district head; if I'm incompetent at my job, I'll be removed. Sister Liu, please help me out, just for the sake of the service I provided you last time?"

After understanding Zhao Desan's words, Deputy Secretary Liu thought for a moment. She didn't commit immediately, but instead said, "How about this: you wait a moment. I'll look into this matter first. If possible, I will try my best to help you."

Seeing that Deputy Secretary Liu had basically signaled her intent to help, Zhao Desan immediately grabbed her hand with a look of gratitude and said in a hoarse voice, "Sister Liu, thank you so much. Thank you, thank you..."

Since they were in her office, Deputy Secretary Liu pulled her hand from Zhao Desan's palm and said, "Don't be in such a hurry to thank me. It's not certain yet whether I can help you." As she spoke, Deputy Secretary Liu stood up, returned to her desk, sat down, and began making calls on the landline.

Zhao Desan sat silently on the sofa, waiting for Deputy Secretary Liu to pull strings for him. After making three calls, Deputy Secretary Liu looked at Zhao Desan apologetically and said, "Xiao Zhao, I'm sorry, I can't help you with this. Because this fund is a special fund for the provincial construction system, several districts are competing for it. You came a step too late; this fund is about to be allocated. I can't help you..."

Hearing Deputy Secretary Liu's words, Zhao Desan could see that she had done her best. After thanking her, he left the municipal committee in low spirits. He walked out of the municipal committee with a gloomy face and returned to the car parked on the roadside. Biaozi hurriedly asked, "Big Brother, did you get it done?"

Zhao Desan looked at Biaozi in low spirits, gave a bitter smile, and asked in return, "Do I look like someone who got it done?"

"No... you don't..." Biaozi saw Zhao Desan's gloomy expression, shook his head, and said stutteringly.

Zhao Desan gave a bitter smile, took out a cigarette, gave one to Biaozi, lit one for himself, and sat in the car puffing away, thinking about what to do next. Although Deputy Secretary Liu hadn't helped him, he could see that she had tried her best in her office. It was just that this fund was allocated from the province, and as a municipal deputy secretary, she couldn't interfere too much.

Zhao Desan sat in the car, finished his cigarette, and sent a text message to Zhou Li at the provincial government. But to his disappointment, Zhou Li replied, telling him she was currently on official business in Beijing and not in Xijing. The hope he had placed in these two women was completely shattered. At this moment, Zhao Desan was utterly desperate, sitting in the car wanting to cry but having no tears.

Seeing Zhao Desan's pained expression, Biaozi said, "Big Brother, why don't you go find Minister Yang and explain? Anyway, Minister Yang didn't see with her own eyes what you and Fang Qi were doing. I think she might just be too angry and said it in a fit of temper. You're a man; men should be more proactive!"

Hearing Biaozi's words, Zhao Desan turned his head to look at him. Suddenly, as if enlightened, he immediately ordered Biaozi, "Biaozi, let's go back to the district!"

Biaozi nodded and immediately drove back to the district. They went straight to the district committee to find Minister Yang, but upon asking, they learned that the beautiful Minister Yang hadn't come to work today. Zhao Desan guessed that Yang Meixia must have been hit hard by last night's events and was in a bad mood, staying in her room at the district committee guesthouse. He immediately had Biaozi drive to the district committee guesthouse.

After the car stopped at the entrance of the district committee guesthouse, Zhao Desan opened the door, jumped out, and rushed in, heading straight to the long-term suite the district committee had arranged for the beautiful Minister Yang. He knocked on the door while shouting, "Meixia, Meixia, are you there? Listen to my explanation..."

But Zhao Desan stood at the door shouting for a full ten minutes, and the room remained quiet without a sound. Just then, a cleaning attendant pushing a cart passed by. Zhao Desan hurriedly stopped her and said, "Open this door for me!"

The attendant looked at Zhao Desan with a strange expression and said, "This room belongs to a female leader in the district. Who are you?"

"I'm her friend. I have something to find her about. Open it for me quickly!" Zhao Desan's heart was burning with anxiety to see Yang Meixia, and he spoke to the attendant in an almost commanding tone.

The attendant was unhappy now and immediately said, "Sir, I'm sorry, this is not your room. If you insist on going in, please consult the front desk downstairs!" As she spoke, she pushed her cart and prepared to leave.

In his desperation, Zhao Desan grabbed the attendant's arm, took out his work ID from his pocket, and said, "I am Zhao Desan, Deputy District Head of Chanba District. Can you open the door for me now?"

The female attendant was stunned for a moment. Without saying a word, she helped Zhao Desan open Yang Meixia's door, then turned and walked out of the room, grumbling discontentedly, "None of these leaders are any good!"

Zhao Desan couldn't be bothered to pay attention to her. He rushed into the room and called out "Meixia," but the only response was an empty echo. Only then did he realize the room was completely empty; there was no sign of Yang Meixia. He then left the municipal committee guesthouse in low spirits.

Biaozi was waiting for Zhao Desan in the car. After a while, seeing him walk out of the municipal committee guesthouse dejectedly, he got out of the car and said, "Big Brother, did you find Minister Yang?"

Zhao Desan shook his head listlessly and said, "She's not in the office, and she's not in the municipal committee guesthouse. I don't know where she went!"

After tossing and turning all morning, there was still no progress. Yang Meixia's whereabouts were unknown, which made Zhao Desan feel extremely annoyed, his head a mess. He had never encountered such difficulties before. It was noon, and Biaozi was a bit hungry, so he said, "Big Brother, why don't we eat and continue looking in the afternoon?"

There was nothing else to do. Zhao Desan had Biaozi drive to a Sichuan restaurant they often visited. The two sat down and ordered a few dishes. Because Zhao Desan was annoyed, he had the attendant bring a bottle of Erguotou. He poured a small cup for Biaozi, and for the rest, he didn't even use a cup; he just held the bottle, eating a bite of food and taking a swig of liquor. That bold demeanor made others in the restaurant glance at them.

Biaozi advised Zhao Desan, "Big Brother, drink less. We have important business this afternoon. Don't get drunk!"

This amount of liquor was nothing to Zhao Desan. He finished it in a few gulps, burped, and asked Biaozi, "Biaozi, what do you think of my life?"

Biaozi said, "It's good!"

Zhao Desan gave a bitter smile and said, "Good my ass! I'm driven crazy by all sorts of things all day long!"

Biaozi said, "Big Brother, you're a deputy district head; so many people envy you! You're handsome, and so many women like you. Aren't you satisfied yet?" ===== CHAPTER 3843 =====
