Chapter 5298: Dividing the Paintings

Having indeed drunk quite a lot of alcohol, after Wang Ping left, Zhao Desan gradually fell asleep. When he woke up the next day, he had forgotten everything from last night, which left Wang Ping, who had tossed and turned in bed all night without sleeping well, feeling incredibly depressed.

Several people divided those paintings. Zhao Desan picked out a few that he considered to have more collection value, then gave a few to Wang Ping, and the rest were all divided among Xuanzhu.

Having spent the morning bored in the office, Zhao Desan had originally thought that Secretary Zhang might call him over today to talk about what happened at the mounting factory. But very unexpectedly, that old guy didn't use the incident at the mounting factory to attack him, which made Zhao Desan realize that the old guy had started to become a bit wary of him after his counterattacks during this period. Having spent the morning bored in the office, and having drunk so much alcohol last night, Zhao Desan's stomach felt a bit empty by the time he got off work at noon. He couldn't help but think of the landlady of the Sanxiao Restaurant, Wang Ping, so he took his coat off the back of his chair and put it on, preparing to go to Sanxiao Restaurant for lunch and, incidentally, to see that pretty widow who made his heart ripple. Not being able to take her in one fell swoop last night left Zhao Desan feeling a bit unwilling.

Just as he walked out of the District Government main gate, a white BMW X6 suddenly stopped in front of Zhao Desan. The car window slowly rolled down, revealing a familiar yet strange pretty face.

"Brother Desan." The young girl took off her oversized sunglasses and called Zhao Desan's name with a sweet smile on her face.

"Zhang Ying? Why are you here?" Zhao Desan immediately recognized who this girl was. It turned out to be the younger sister of Lin Dafa's daughter-in-law Zhang Hui, Zhang Yingying. He really hadn't expected to see her here. It had been almost several years since he had seen this little girl, and now she had grown into an adult.

Having entered society, Yingying had changed a lot. Her originally beautiful black short hair was slightly curled, hanging down by her ears, making her look playful and cute. She was wearing a tight-fitting white long-sleeved base shirt, with a blue shawl over it, and a black short skirt on her lower half. Nude-colored cotton stockings tightly wrapped her slender, beautiful legs. Her still-pure face, combined with her bulging chest, made him unable to help but exclaim in wonder—years later, that innocent and cute little girl had actually grown into a big girl with both beautiful eyebrows and charm.

The greenness on Yingying's face had also lessened; because she had entered society, the whole person had a refreshing and capable feeling.

"I came to the district to take a look at the tourism ecological city project. I didn't expect to run into Brother Desan here." Yingying smiled lightly, while her two big eyes also sized Zhao Desan up and down.

Compared to a few years ago, Zhao Desan's changes were not significant. His figure hadn't become pot-bellied and severely out of shape like other men once they passed thirty; he was still standing straight with a sturdy build, only looking much more mature.

"Oh, it's been a long time. You've grown into a big girl." Zhao Desan said with a smile.

"Yeah, it's been several years since we last met. Brother Desan, get in the car." Yingying pointed to the passenger seat with a smile.

"Where are you planning to take me?" Zhao Desan sat into Yingying's BMW X6 and immediately smelled a refreshing fragrance. That faint scent made his mind wander a bit.

"It's been so long since we last met, Brother Desan, you should treat me to a meal, hee hee." Yingying looked at Zhao Desan with a giggle.

Seeing Yingying suddenly after several years, if he said he wasn't shocked by the huge impact brought about by this little girl's slight transformation, he would be lying. Yingying's originally sweet and pure temperament now had a few more notes of maturity. This maturity seemed to have melted somewhat because of Zhao Desan's appearance, adding a bit more cuteness. She was no longer that pure little girl who could captivate hearts with a light smile, but a big girl who had entered society with a bit more high-pressure sophistication and taste.

Zhao Desan sat in the passenger seat, flipped through his wallet, and said with a smile: "Brother didn't bring enough money today, I'm afraid I can't treat you to a big meal."

"That won't do. I heard Brother Desan is a big official now, so I want to eat something expensive." Yingying pouted her little mouth and laughed cutely. After speaking, she looked at Zhao Desan's slightly depressed appearance through the rearview mirror and giggled triumphantly.

"My little aunt, please spare me. You know that brother only earns a little salary; I'm not like you, not lacking money to spend. How about we just find a place with a better price-performance ratio and make do?" Zhao Desan had never liked to puff himself up to look bigger than he was, so he said with a smile.

"Hee hee, I'm just joking. It's the same whoever treats." Yingying looked at Zhao Desan's slightly awkward appearance, giggled, and drove the car to a three-star hotel in the district.

Although Zhao Desan hadn't been to this hotel, because it had opened in the last few years, the luxury level inside was even higher-end than those four-star hotels in Xijing City.

After getting out of the car, Yingying poked Zhao Desan with her hand, handed him a card, and said: "This is a consumption card for this place. I don't have much use for it, so I'll just give it to Brother Desan to use."

"How can this be?" Zhao Desan didn't have the habit of being a kept man. He pushed the consumption card back. Besides, if he really wanted to eat here, with his status as a District Head, was he afraid he couldn't afford a meal? It was just that he didn't want this little girl to think that because he was a big official now, he wasn't short of money. Officials must never show their wealth; this was the biggest taboo.

"What's wrong with that? I don't have any use for it anyway, it would be a pity to throw it away. Just take it!" Yingying insisted on stuffing the card into Zhao Desan's hand. Seeing her so insistent, Zhao Desan said with a smile: "Then brother will respectfully obey. I can still use it when I treat friends to a meal another day."

The two came to the Western restaurant on the third floor. As soon as Zhao Desan and Yingying appeared, they immediately attracted countless gazes—one tall, handsome, and young; the other vibrant, youthful, and beautiful. Of course, the men's gazes were mostly focused on Yingying. This sexy beauty, dressed in fashion, had exquisite curves on her upper body, and her full chest, while not quite revealing, was enough to make lechers drool. Meanwhile, the women focused their eyes on Zhao Desan—tall and straight, with delicate features and distinct angles, and the occasional smiling aura between his brows made their hearts thump.

Zhao Desan handed the consumption card to the pretty receptionist at the front desk with a flourish. Upon seeing the VIP card, the receptionist immediately wore a warm smile and said: "Sir, you are our distinguished VIP guest. There is a private room on the eighth floor. Please follow me."

Zhao Desan turned his head to look at Yingying again, only to see her shrug her shoulders, pretending not to know. Zhao Desan sighed inwardly. He wasn't stupid, of course he knew what this card represented. This card actually represented the guest's status and position, but as the daughter of a Xijing City real estate tycoon, this was not surprising.

The two followed the waiter to room 081 on the eighth floor. Zhao Desan laughed: "Yingying, isn't it a bit too extravagant for the two of us to eat here?" There was a large table in the room that could seat ten people for a meal, which made Zhao Desan feel it was a bit of a waste.

Yingying took off her shawl and put it aside, laughing: "Brother Desan, you're a big leader now, can't you be a bit more magnanimous? You should adjust your mindset. Treating this young lady to a meal, no matter how extravagant, is not too much." As she spoke, a rosy glow bloomed on Yingying's face again, and she covered her mouth and laughed. ===== CHAPTER 5299 =====
