Chapter 4291

Looking at Zhao Desan's silent demeanor, Zheng Chuyi said: "I won't help you release this video. Firstly, it won't necessarily take down Minister He; secondly, it will affect the lives of others in the video; and thirdly, it is very likely to endanger you!"

Zhao Desan knew he was in the wrong and didn't say anything more.

Seeing that Zhao Desan didn't speak, Zheng Chuyi continued: "It's not that I don't want to help you, but Minister He is the dignified Minister of the Municipal Organization Department and a member of the Municipal Standing Committee; he isn't that easy to take down. Even if I help you release the video, it will definitely be suppressed immediately. Not only will there be no trace of it left, but Minister He will certainly retaliate against you. Have you thought about these things?"

Zhao Desan still didn't speak, lowering his head to ponder the beautiful reporter's words.

Seeing that Zhao Desan seemed somewhat absent-minded, Zheng Chuyi called out: "District Mayor Liu, what do you think?"

Zhao Desan came back to his senses and took another sip of coffee to hide his embarrassment. Zhao Desan smiled and said: "I don't know if what you said is right or not, I just want to seek justice for the female comrades."

Zheng Chuyi shook her head helplessly and said: "I advise you to give up. Anyway, I won't help you release the video. If you want to release it, do it yourself!"

Seeing Zheng Chuyi's determined look, Zhao Desan couldn't say anything more, so he changed the subject and asked: "Reporter Zheng, do you have a boyfriend?"

Zheng Chuyi smiled and said: "Not yet. I'm already past my prime, no one wants me, hehe."

Zhao Desan didn't expect Zheng Chuyi to be so humorous, so he let his guard down and started joking with her: "Someone like Chuyi, not to mention beautiful, is also capable; this is simply top-tier. What man wouldn't want that?"

Zheng Chuyi felt as if honey had been poured into her heart by Zhao Desan's sweet talk, and she laughed until she shook. Zhao Desan was also happy and continued: "How about this, how about I be your boyfriend?"

When Zhao Desan said this, Zheng Chuyi blushed slightly and said: "District Mayor Liu is young and promising; the beautiful girls who like you must be lining up behind you. How could it ever be my turn!"

Seeing Zheng Chuyi say this, Zhao Desan couldn't help but become even more brazen, saying: "How could you be past your prime? You are in the prime of your life!"

Zheng Chuyi's face was like the sky in June, changing at a moment's notice. Just a moment ago she was witty and humorous, but now she immediately became frosty, her beautiful face pulled long, which made Zhao Desan feel somewhat bewildered.

Zheng Chuyi looked at Zhao Desan's confused expression and said: "District Mayor Liu, do you really want to take down Minister He?"

Zhao Desan nodded. Of course, he wanted to take down Minister He, but now that Zheng Chuyi wouldn't agree to help him, he felt very disappointed.

Zheng Chuyi continued: "It is said that heroes have a hard time passing the beauty test. Minister He isn't young anymore, and he could have retreated unscathed, but he insisted on taking lust so seriously, forgetting that there is a blade hanging over the word 'lust'. Actually, it's not just me saying this; every unit's leader is the same now. This is a widespread social phenomenon. As the saying goes, a rank higher crushes a person. If you want to take down Minister He, it really isn't that easy. I advise you to give up!"

Zhao Desan looked at Zheng Chuyi's frosty face, and even her eyes were emitting a chill, which made Zhao Desan shiver.

Zheng Chuyi stirred her coffee in circles with a small spoon, lost in thought. Zhao Desan didn't dare to speak rashly again, fearing he would see Zheng Chuyi's icy lecture again.

Zheng Chuyi grew up in a military family and was a heroine at heart. Moreover, influenced by the newspaper office, she always liked to analyze things thoroughly. Therefore, she didn't intend to help Zhao Desan with this matter, feeling that if she agreed to Zhao Desan, she would very likely not be able to help him and would instead harm him.

Seeing that Zhao Desan wasn't speaking again, Zheng Chuyi put down the small spoon she was using to stir the coffee, raised her handsome face, stared at Zhao Desan with those determined eyes, and said: "Don't say it, you're actually quite handsome."

Zhao Desan had no heart to joke with Zheng Chuyi at this moment. He didn't get carried away but smiled modestly.

Zheng Chuyi said: "District Mayor Liu, I know you are a good person, but sometimes you have to hold yourself back. Officialdom is too complicated. Besides, what kind of articles can our newspaper publish? These all have standards and scales, especially regarding political matters, which generally cannot be touched. Not to mention such a big leader as the Minister of the Municipal Organization Department, it is absolutely impossible for the newspaper to allow this matter to be published!"

"Then what should I do?" Zhao Desan frowned, looking at Zheng Chuyi with a melancholy face, "I can't just let that old thing surnamed He continue to harm good women, right?"

Zheng Chuyi thought thoughtfully and hinted to Zhao Desan: "District Mayor Liu, I know you are determined to kick the worm Minister He out of the party cadre ranks, but Minister He's rank is higher than yours; you can't do anything to him. Sometimes, you must use other forces."

Zhao Desan didn't understand what Zheng Chuyi was saying and looked at her in confusion.

"Playing dumb with me, right?" Zheng Chuyi couldn't help but raise her volume, "That time you acted bravely for a just cause caused such a stir in the city, and every unit is calling for people to learn from you. You are now considered a famous person in the eyes of the city's leaders, and you must have some weight in their eyes. Why don't you go directly to the city leaders and reflect on the situation privately, and test the leaders' tone first?"

Hearing Zheng Chuyi's words, Zhao Desan finally understood what she was talking about. Zhao Desan thought to himself, this Zheng Chuyi is truly a heroine of her generation; if only he could win her over, hehe.

Zheng Chuyi ignored Zhao Desan's distraction and kept on talking, "District Mayor Liu has many confidantes. Like that Team Leader Li just now, she should also be one of District Mayor Liu's confidantes, right?"

Zhao Desan's face flushed slightly. Thinking that since the matter had been brought up, there was no need to cover it up, Zhao Desan said: "Matters between men and women are just a matter of mutual consent."

Zheng Chuyi nodded, looking at Zhao Desan with a serious expression, as if she were jealous, and said: "It's mutual consent, but do others agree? Does the social system allow it? Minister He is a living example. You are a public official; you must pay attention to your image."

Zhao Desan lowered his head. The coffee in his cup was quiet, without a ripple, but Zhao Desan's heart was churning, and he repeatedly thought about Zheng Chuyi's words.

Seeing that Zhao Desan was lowering his head and not responding to her, Zheng Chuyi continued: "Of course, I have no right to interfere in your private life. It's just that I see your heart is good, and you have skills, so I just want to remind you. I don't want a talented person to fail the beauty test once again!"

After Zheng Chuyi finished speaking, she stood up. Zhao Desan finally came back to his senses and wanted to continue chatting with her to learn some lessons from her, so he hurriedly said: "Chuyi, let me treat you to a meal."
