Chapter 4443: A Woman with Big Breasts and No Brains
Seeing Su Qing awkwardly remain silent, Zhao Desan thought she was angry about his previous remark. He scratched his head in embarrassment and stammered, "I... I didn't... mean... that..."
"Sigh!" Su Qing suddenly let out a long sigh. "If Auntie Hehua hadn't come back suddenly, I would have already been... been done by Zhao Sanhu..." A wave of bitterness washed over her heart; she didn't know if Hehua's sudden return had saved her or harmed her.
Zhao Desan mocked Zhao Sanhu, saying, "I never expected that Zhao Sanhu was such a henpecked coward!" He said this in an attempt to break the awkward atmosphere.
In truth, the moment he realized Su Qing hadn't been taken by that lecherous local tyrant Zhao Sanhu, a strange sense of pleasure welled up in Zhao Desan's heart. If his old classmate had been defiled by such a sleazy old man, he didn't know how many men would have been shocked.
"Zhao Desan, do you think I should go to the District Government to appeal?" Su Qing asked softly. She hadn't taken Zhao Desan's words to heart because she felt that since he had only just arrived in Shenlong Town, he likely held no real power.
Hearing Su Qing's question, Zhao Desan righteously denied it: "No!"
"Why?" Su Qing was taken aback, looking at him with a blank expression. She didn't know why Zhao Desan's tone was so firm.
Seeing Su Qing staring at him with confused, blank eyes, Zhao Desan felt his tone had been a bit too harsh. He gave an awkward laugh and explained, "Since that Hehua has a backer in the Town Government, that backer surely has some connections in the District as well. Even if you go to appeal, the District usually won't bother with such trivial matters. They'll just send it back to the Town to handle, and the result will be the same—it'll just be a waste of effort. You haven't stepped into officialdom; you don't know the intricate web of interests and the dark side of the political world."
Hearing Zhao Desan say this, Su Qing wore a blank expression and muttered, "Is there really no way? Is there really no one who can help?"
"Ahem, ahem, ahem..." A series of coughs sounded. Zhao Desan muttered to himself, "You woman with big breasts and no brains, am I not a person?"
Su Qing looked at Zhao Desan with a strange expression, not quite understanding why he was acting so oddly.
Seeing Su Qing staring at him intently, Zhao Desan cursed inwardly: "No wonder Zhao Sanhu could play you in the palm of his hand so easily. It seems that even for a woman who has been to university, as long as her breasts are big, she's still just as brainless and easily played by men!"
Seeing Su Qing looking at him with that strange expression, Zhao Desan asked suspiciously, "By the way, Xiao Qing, do you know who Hehua's connection in the Town Government is?"
Hearing Zhao Desan's question, Su Qing's eyes shifted as she thought about it. "I heard it's someone surnamed Qi. I don't know what position he holds in the Town Government, but judging by Hehua's tone, he must be a big official."
Surnamed Qi? Hearing Su Qing's answer, Zhao Desan furrowed his brows. Could it be Town Mayor Qi? Zhao Desan had only been at the Shenlong Town Government for two days. At the welcome banquet the previous night, all the members of the Town Party Committee and Town Government leadership had attended. It seemed that among them, Town Mayor Qi Tianlai was the only one surnamed Qi. Zhao Desan thought it must be Qi Tianlai, so he blurted out, "Hehua's backer must be Town Mayor Qi Tianlai!"
"Town Mayor?" Hearing Zhao Desan's words, Su Qing's beautiful eyes widened. Clearly, she couldn't believe Hehua's connection in the Town Government was so powerful. Her expression then turned dejected. "Then... then what should we do?"
Seeing Su Qing looking dejected, lonely, and helpless, Zhao Desan said, "Let's go! I'll take you to Qi Tianlai's place to see what's going on!"
Hearing Zhao Desan's words, Su Qing froze. She hadn't expected Zhao Desan to really stand up for her. She looked at him with unspeakable emotion, tears of excitement welling up in her eyes.
"Let's go!" Zhao Desan said righteously. As he spoke, he stood up and walked toward the door. Seeing this, Su Qing followed behind him.
Zhao Desan led the way with Su Qing behind him. Her face, though excited, also carried a hint of loneliness. It wasn't that she didn't believe in Zhao Desan's ability, but she felt that since he had only been in Shenlong Town for two days, she really couldn't hold out too much hope for him.
Qi Tianlai's office was in a corner of the Town Government office building. As they arrived at the door, just as Zhao Desan raised his hand to knock, he suddenly heard a woman's bone-melting, seductive moan from inside: "Town Mayor Qi, slow down! You're going to kill me."
"Is that so? Then why do you look so intoxicated?"
"Town Mayor Qi, you're so bad! How can you say that? Am I that kind of person?"
"Are you? Isn't it written all over your face?"
The sudden emergence of such lewd dialogue from the office left Zhao Desan completely stunned. His raised hand hung in mid-air, and he stood there like a wooden chicken. Su Qing, following behind, saw Zhao Desan standing at the door of the Town Mayor's office without knocking. She felt puzzled; they were here to ask for a favor, so she didn't say anything to Zhao Desan. She walked to his side and whispered, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Desan turned his face, looking at Su Qing with embarrassment, not knowing how to explain. Seeing Zhao Desan's strange expression, Su Qing thought he regretted agreeing to help her. A sense of sorrow welled up in her heart, but she didn't blame Zhao Desan; after all, he had only just arrived at the Town Government.
Seeing Su Qing's lonely expression, Zhao Desan understood what she was thinking. "Don't overthink it. Since I, Zhao Desan, promised to help you, a man's word is his bond. Don't worry, I, Zhao Desan, will absolutely not break my promise!"
Hearing Zhao Desan's firm tone, Su Qing was startled. She hadn't expected her thoughts to be seen through by him. She lowered her head and smiled awkwardly, but she still didn't understand: if Zhao Desan didn't regret it, why was he standing at Town Mayor Qi Tianlai's office door refusing to go in? Thinking this, she raised her head and looked at Zhao Desan suspiciously, hoping to get an answer.
Zhao Desan had an extremely keen ability to read people. Seeing the doubt in Su Qing's eyes, he knew what she was thinking. He glanced around to make sure no one was there, then gave Su Qing a look, signaling her to come closer.
Su Qing was blank, not understanding what Zhao Desan was playing at. But out of trust for Zhao Desan, she slowly leaned her head toward Town Mayor Qi Tianlai's office door.
When Su Qing leaned her head close to the office door, she suddenly discovered that Town Mayor Qi Tianlai's office door wasn't closed properly, leaving a very narrow gap. As she placed her hands on the door to push it open, Zhao Desan saw this and was startled, hurriedly stopping her "reckless" behavior.
Seeing her action suddenly blocked by Zhao Desan, Su Qing looked at him in confusion, feeling like a monk who couldn't figure out the situation. Zhao Desan gripped Su Qing's smooth, soft hand tightly and shook his head gently, signaling her not to be impulsive. Although Su Qing had the typical "brainlessness" of a woman, she had been to university. From Zhao Desan's eyes, she caught a hint of meaning and immediately guessed that something must be happening in this office; otherwise, Zhao Desan wouldn't be so nervous.
Just as Su Qing was letting her imagination run wild, the woman's seductive voice came from the office again: "Town Mayor Qi, why are your hands so bad? It hurts so much!"
"Is that so? The worst is yet to come."
"Ah! Town Mayor Qi, this is the office! If someone sees us, then..."
