Chapter 743

Ever since Zhao De came out of Lan Mei's office, he had been thinking about her somewhat abnormal reaction today. She unexpectedly didn't yell at him, and her tone even had a different meaning. This made Zhao De, who had played with so many women, feel that something was wrong. He felt that perhaps Division Chief Lan was truly lonely because she lived alone, and people always have physiological needs. And she usually had a cold-as-frost appearance that made men not dare to approach her. Yet he happened to send that kind of thing, and perhaps because of this accident, it broke that layer of paper between men and women, which was why Division Chief Lan had such an abnormal reaction. If that was the case, then perhaps it was really possible to "handle" Division Chief Lan. Watching her beautiful, cold, and indifferent appearance every day, Zhao De especially wanted to conquer her. He had been suffering from not finding a way. Through this accidental discovery, he felt it was necessary to test her bottom line in daily work through other abnormal ways.

So before getting off work, Zhao De sent a "meaningful" message to Division Chief Lan: "Division Chief Lan, I really didn't mean to tease you. If you want to punish me, just say it. Whatever you want to do is fine. Dragging it out like this always makes me feel uneasy. I promise you can do whatever you want."

After a while, Lan Mei replied with a message: "Zhao De, you're really getting carried away, aren't you? Do you think that because I joked with you like that today, I have some interest in you? I tell you, although I don't have a man, don't you have a beautiful imagination. I have no interest in you at all! If you don't work honestly and let your imagination run wild, be careful, or I'll make trouble for you!"

After reading the text message from Division Chief Lan, the flame of hope that Zhao De had just ignited was completely extinguished by these cold words. It seemed that perhaps he had really thought wrong. This woman was truly not a simple woman. She had an arrogant appearance all day long; maybe she was frigid. Otherwise, how could she not be interested in a man as tall and handsome as him? Zhao De was very satisfied with his physical conditions, and coupled with his eloquence and sweet talk, he had been a "women killer" all the way, eating both old and young. But in front of this divorced young woman, who was in her early thirties, tall, with a curvy figure, and a cold and stunningly beautiful appearance, it didn't work. This made Zhao De feel a bit unconvinced and also a bit unwilling. He made up his mind that as long as he stayed at the Construction Committee to work, he would definitely find a way to "handle" this arrogant and self-important Division Chief Lan no matter what.

Before getting off work, when Zhao De was smoking in front of the window at the end of the corridor, he heard a few hearty laughs from downstairs. He habitually shifted his gaze over and found that it was Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang Jiayin, the boss of Beichen Real Estate, and Zheng the Bald Donkey chatting and laughing downstairs in the office building.

This was not surprising. Ever since he learned that the boss of Beichen Real Estate had a very good relationship with Zheng the Bald Donkey, Zhao De understood why Beichen Real Estate had risen rapidly in Xijing City in recent years. The speed of building houses was faster than other companies. This was mainly due to relying on the relationship with Zheng the Bald Donkey. The planning, project establishment, and approval of the land plots for commercial residential projects proposed by Beichen Real Estate by the Construction Committee were basically just a formality, allowing Beichen Real Estate to rise rapidly in a very short period of time.

So it was not surprising that Zheng the Bald Donkey usually had close dealings with Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang Jiayin, the boss of Beichen Real Estate. It was just that seeing Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang Jiayin, Zhao De couldn't help but associate him with his daughter, Hearing Hearing Yingying. That was a great beauty he could never forget after seeing her once. The rich youthful aura radiating from her made him miss her immensely. She was over 1.7 meters tall. Although her figure seemed a bit weak and thin, as the saying goes, "a sparrow may be small, but it has all the internal organs." Although her figure was a bit thin, Hearing Hearing Yingying's parts were developing quite normally. That slender and soft waist, the tall and round meat buns, and the perky, tender buttocks really made him drool just thinking about it.

Now, although he was working at the Construction Committee and had accidentally met Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang Jiayin through Zheng the Bald Donkey, he hadn't started handling any documents related to Beichen Real Estate, nor did he have any channels or opportunities to come into contact with Beichen Real Estate, let alone find an opportunity to see the youthful jade girl Zhang Hearing Hearing Yingying, whom he could never forget and who haunted his dreams. This made Zhao De very helpless.

Smoking and watching Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang Jiayin and Zheng the Bald Donkey chatting and laughing downstairs, he saw him take a small black leather bag out of the car and stuff it into Zheng the Bald Donkey's hand. Seeing this scene, Zhao De thought it must be the reward for Zheng the Bald Donkey helping him handle the approval matters quickly last time. Although that black leather bag didn't look big, if it was filled with "Chairman Mao," it wouldn't be a problem to fit one or two hundred thousand.

In this way, Zhao De thought that he had really lost out by taking the Vacheron Constantin watch worth 300,000 that someone had given to Sister Su and giving it to this old guy last time. The big boss only gave him such a small reward, and he was so generous. No wonder Zheng the Bald Donkey invited him to be a guest at his home that weekend and treated him so hospitably.

Just as he was thinking, Zhao De suddenly discovered that there was another person sitting in Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang Jiayin's car downstairs, the one with the B-shaped logo surrounded by a pair of wings. That person looked a bit familiar, but because the distance was too far and there was car glass blocking it, he couldn't see who the man inside was.

When he was about to finish smoking, he suddenly heard the sound of high heels stepping on the ground not far behind him. From the sound of these footsteps, Zhao De could basically judge that it was Division Chief Lan walking out of the office. He hurriedly extinguished the remaining half of the cigarette butt in the ashtray on the windowsill and walked toward the office in a sneaky manner.

However, Lan Mei hadn't been very opposed to them taking a break to smoke during work hours recently. In the past, it was mainly because Xia Xia Xia Xia Jian was the only one in the entire Planning Division who smoked, and Comrade Comrade Xiao Zhao didn't smoke. Coupled with the lack of manpower, work often couldn't be finished on time, so she was very disgusted with Xia Xia Xia Xia Jian going outside to smoke during work hours. Now, except for the lack of a Deputy Division Chief, the staffing of the Planning Division was basically complete. And after a few months of familiarity and training, Zheng Ru could basically handle her work, and Zhao De's work ability was fully utilized, so the work of the Planning Division was very easy. For them occasionally going out to smoke a cigarette, Lan Mei wasn't that opposed anymore.

Seeing Zhao De's guilty look when he saw her coming out, Lan Mei called him to a halt. Perhaps she had already developed the habit of speaking in that cold tone. Zhao De immediately gave a salute, stood upright in front of her, looked at her in panic, and lowered his head. It looked like he was afraid that she would use him smoking during work hours to make a big deal out of it again.

Zhao De's panicked reaction actually made Lan Mei discover that she was really very serious in their eyes. She couldn't help but have a wicked smile flash across the corner of her mouth. She softened her tone and asked him, "Zhao De, why are you rushing into the office in such a panic? Why don't you finish smoking your cigarette before going in?"

Her unexpected reaction made Zhao De stunned for a moment. He raised his head and looked at her. Seeing her expression was calm, although her eyes still seemed to look down on people, her expression was clearly much more peaceful than when she was angry, and her tone was also very soft, without any sign of anger. He said with a "hehe," "I saw you coming, Division Chief Lan... I was afraid you... you would criticize... so..."

"... so you hurriedly extinguished the cigarette butt and went back to the office to put on an act?" Division Chief Lan added with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

Zhao De looked at her with a cheeky face and nodded.

Seeing his cheeky look, Lan Mei glanced at him and said in a peaceful tone, "In the future, if you want to smoke, just smoke. As long as you finish your work on time, I won't say anything."

Zhao De said "En" with a "hehe" smile. His cheeky look looked a bit lustful, which made Lan Mei glance at him with disdain, and then she turned and walked toward the stairwell.

Zhao De was still staring blankly at Division Chief Lan's back as she turned and left. Although it was September, the work uniforms of women in the unit were naturally not as slightly exposed and sexy as in the hot summer. However, this set of women's professional attire wrapped Division Chief Lan's figure even more perfectly. A pair of dark blue uniform trousers made her legs look straight and slender, and the well-fitting dark small suit set off her willow waist to be extremely slender and soft. The proportions of her figure were also divided quite perfectly. In this way, her already tall figure looked even more upright and even more full of the beauty of a professional woman, radiating a strong intellectual beauty all over her body. Such a figure, such an appearance, and such a personality that made it difficult for people to approach, could not help but make every man's heart move. For Zhao De, women who were too easy to get didn't arouse his interest. Just like Lingling, the cashier at that restaurant, he got her without any effort, and there was no sense of achievement at all. If he wasn't really suffocating, he wouldn't go to find her again. Instead, the more difficult it was to capture a woman, the more interested he was in conquering her, feeling that that was where the sense of achievement lay.
