Chapter 420

"Sigh, the problem is right here. It doesn't matter for me, as long as Bureau Chief Zhang arranges it, I'll do it. But if you insist on going against that widow Ma Lan, I'm afraid... I'm afraid she'll use those photos to deal with you. If she can't merge Old Gao's mine as she wishes, and in a fit of rage she publishes those photos on the internet, your reputation won't be good."

Zhao Desan took the opportunity to attack, pushing the boat with the current, which left Zhang Ailing feeling unsure. She thought that if she really went against that woman, she was afraid that in a fit of rage, she would publish those photos, and her reputation would be ruined. Not only would this Bureau Chief position be lost, but once her husband found out she had betrayed him, she might even lose her family.

After such deep consideration, Zhang Ailing told him: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, I think we should summarize it more neutrally in the report for now."

"Neutral is fine, but there isn't much time left to report the assessment summary to the city. I'm afraid if the city asks about this and makes a decision after reading the assessment, it won't be easy to change later. Bureau Chief Zhang, think about it again. It's best if we can decide now and not get into trouble, so as not to have long nights and many dreams." Zhao Desan was too good at reading people; he had completely figured out Zhang Ailing's current thoughts. Knowing she was wavering, he took the opportunity to encourage her again, letting her decide to add the weight of the merger to Ma Lan's side.

After he whispered in her ear, Bureau Chief Zhang's mood felt especially complicated. She weighed the various outcomes in her heart and felt that even if she couldn't help Lin Dafa finish this, he wouldn't do anything to her. On the other hand, if she didn't help Ma Lan, her own fate might undergo a subversive change. If she ended up losing both money and people, that would really be trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice.

After such deep consideration, she finally made a difficult decision. Her expression was quite complicated, and she sighed deeply and said to him: "Little Zhao, what you said makes sense. I'm also having a hard time choosing now... Do you think it's better for Ma Lan's Xinmao Mining to complete the merger or Lin's Mining?"

Zhao Desan smiled lightly and said: "Bureau Chief Zhang, that depends on your decision. I just want to advise you to consider your own future. Besides... besides, there's me in those photos... I'm also quite worried."

"Heh, I thought you were worried about me. You're worried about your own future, right?" Zhang Ailing smiled lightly.

Zhao Desan smiled wickedly and said: "There's that reason too, but what I'm most worried about is you, Bureau Chief Zhang."

This also gave Zhang Ailing a step down to make a decision. So, she smiled lightly, appearing very relaxed, and said: "Then let's do it this way. For the sake of your future, you should make the assessment report lean toward Xinmao Mining."

"Then... then I'll do as you say, Bureau Chief Zhang?" Zhao Desan felt a burst of joy in his heart, suppressing his inner joy as he spoke.

Zhang Ailing nodded: "Let's do it this way for now. I'm also at my wit's end with that woman's tricks."

"Then Bureau Chief Zhang, I'll go down?" Zhao Desan looked at his watch and said, "Work time is up, I won't disturb your work."

"Hmm." Zhang Ailing nodded.

Zhao Desan turned around, his face filled with a joyful smile. As soon as he opened the door and went out, he walked downstairs whistling triumphantly.

When he reached the stairwell, he bumped into Li Shanshan, who was waiting for Bureau Chief Zhang's summons.

"You scared me, why are you standing here?" Zhao Desan asked, still shaken.

"If I don't stand here, where should I stand? Bureau Chief Zhang clearly sent me away to talk to you. Where else could I go?" Li Shanshan said, a bit unhappy.
