Chapter 793
Just at this moment, when a black Audi A6 sped past on the road, the rear window slowly lowered. A fat head popped out from inside, pulled a long face, and looked at their backs with gloomy hatred in his eyes. His fat palm opened his briefcase, took out his phone from inside, flipped through a phone number, and dialed it.
When walking into the entrance of the coffee shop, Zhao De felt his phone vibrating in his pants pocket. He took it out and saw it was Zheng the Bald Donkey calling. That's right, the person in the car was Zheng the Bald Donkey. He happened to be passing by here to attend a social engagement with a real estate boss. Not paying attention, he saw Zhao De wrapping his arm around a beautiful girl and strolling on the street. He was immediately very angry in his heart, thinking that this guy was actually eating what was in the bowl while pulling what was in the basin, hanging his daughter, but taking advantage of the weekend to flirt outside. He truly couldn't swallow this breath. Thinking that he, a dignified division chief, was teased by this guy, he took out his phone and dialed him while staring fixedly at the backs of Zhao De and Zhao Xue.
Damn! It's the weekend today, why is this bald donkey calling? Could it be that he's asking me to go to his house for a drink again? Hesitating for a moment, Zhao De was afraid that Zhao Xue would raise any suspicions, so he smiled and said, "It's our leader," while pressing the green answer button, and said enthusiastically with a chuckle, "Director Zheng, why are you calling me today? Do you have any instructions?"
"Zhao De, where are you now?" Zheng the Bald Donkey suppressed his anger, deliberately asked him unhurriedly, and his pair of triangular eyes shone with cold light, staring fiercely at his back.
"I... I'm on the street now, with a friend," Zhao De feigned calmness and answered with a chuckle unhurriedly.
"Is that so? Which friend are you strolling with? You have such leisure and elegance," Zheng the Bald Donkey's tone gradually became frivolous, but Zhao De couldn't hear anything wrong from the phone, and even less did he know that this old nurse was sitting in the car passing by here at this moment, staring at his every move with gloomy eyes.
"Oh, an old friend. Does the leader have anything to do by calling me?" Zhao De glanced at Zhao Xue and said to the phone with a light smile.
Just at this moment, a call came in on Zheng the Bald Donkey's phone. Only then did he withdraw his hateful gaze, took a look at the caller ID on the phone, and found it was Director Feng of the Land Bureau. So, he hung up Zhao De's phone directly, and while pressing the window lifter, he transferred to Director Feng's call.
The phone suddenly cut off. Zhao De thought the old fox had something to do, so he called him back, but the phone was busy. So, he put away his phone and wrapped his arm around Zhao Xue and walked into the Island Coffee shop.
"Hey, Director Feng, why did you think of calling me?" Zheng the Bald Donkey answered the phone and said with a chuckle.
"Nothing much, just asking, Old Zheng, has your Construction Committee held a special meeting on clean government recently? The province's intensity is very high this time."
"Oh, not yet. I plan to go to the unit tomorrow to hold a meeting to convey the meaning of the province. Has your bureau held one?"
"I have the same meaning, preparing to hold a meeting within the whole bureau tomorrow to convey the meaning of the province. This time, that Fang Jun of the ****** was reportedly reported anonymously by someone. It seems the Commission for Discipline Inspection has already investigated and confirmed that his bribery is true. Do you know about this? He is the ex-husband of Lan Mei of your Construction Committee."
The matter of Fang Jun being investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection was reported by Zheng the Bald Donkey secretly. He knew the movements of the Commission for Discipline Inspection better than anyone else. He had been waiting for news from the Commission for Discipline Inspection recently. Hearing that his corruption and bribery had been investigated and confirmed by the Commission for Discipline Inspection, Zheng the Bald Donkey even drank a drink by himself. "Oh, this matter, I've heard of it. But Xiao Lan of our unit and that Fang Jun have been divorced for several years, it has nothing to do with it," Zheng the Bald Donkey said with a chuckle, hiding his secrets, as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all.
Director Feng on the phone laughed heartily and said, "Although the plot of Fang Jun's matter is not very serious, because of this, the province attaches great importance to party style and clean government construction this time. Once he has an accident, almost everyone in the province is in danger. Old Zheng, you must be careful." Because he and Zheng the Bald Donkey were administrative units dealing with real estate developers, their relationships were close in normal times, so they joked very normally.
"Director Feng, look at what you're saying. Aren't we two half a catty to eight taels? If I have to be careful, then you have to be careful too, haha..." Zheng the Bald Donkey laughed with a chuckle, not wanting to be outdone.
Director Feng on the phone laughed heartily for a while and said, "Alright, I won't joke with you anymore. Just asking when your unit will hold a special meeting. I won't disturb you, Old Zheng, goodbye."
"Alright then, goodbye. When I have time in a few days, I'll be the host, and we'll have a good drink," Zheng the Bald Donkey said.
"Alright, no problem. Call me when you want to drink. That's it, hanging up first."
The two heads of different units exchanged pleasantries and hung up the phone. Zheng the Bald Donkey thought that the result of Fang Jun being investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection had already come out. After his power was taken back, he had no ability to protect Lan Mei. So, Zheng the Bald Donkey calculated in his heart what kind of scheme he should think of to make Lan Mei fall into the trap, take advantage of this matter to make her his own, and realize his long-cherished wish.
Zhao De wrapped his arm around Zhao Xue and arrived at the Island Coffee shop. He found a seat by the window, ordered a latte each, and while savoring the fragrance of the coffee, chatted, talking about each other's life status during this period of time.
Sitting with her until almost noon, Zhao De estimated that the time was about right. He was afraid that Sister Su would go back before noon, so he made an excuse that the leader might call him for something, and he would go find the leader to see.
After he helped Zhao Xue scrape together that money, she believed every word he said. She nodded and said, "Then you should go take a look. If the leader is looking for you for something, don't delay your work."
"Mhm, then I'm leaving first. I can't come tomorrow when Auntie has surgery. You just take care of her alone," Zhao De said while getting up.
Zhao Xue looked at him with reluctance, lowered her head, nodded, and followed him to get up. Zhao De called the waiter to settle the bill, walked out of the coffee shop with her, and parted ways on the street with reluctance.
Love is sometimes so magical. In the past, Zhao De's first reaction to seeing such a beautiful woman with a good figure and appearance was an increase in male hormone secretion, an instant rise in hormones, and a physiological need for the opposite sex. But for some reason, he didn't have this reaction after seeing Zhao Xue. For her, it was more of true feelings from the bottom of his heart. Love may be the sublimation of sex.
After Zhao De went back, he found that Sister Su hadn't returned. He truly regretted not staying with Zhao Xue for a while longer. For a long time, he had always held the attitude of being afraid of making Sister Su angry, and he almost didn't even have his own free time. Sitting alone on the sofa smoking, he couldn't help but recall his life in Yuyang. At that time, he was so carefree and at ease, maintaining relationships with several women while being able to handle them with ease, and each of them was devoted to him. Thinking of that emperor-like life, what he savored most was the feeling of being entangled with Bai Ling, that stunningly beautiful young woman. He didn't know how that young woman was doing at the Coal Bureau since he left, and whether Zhang Da, that beast, would find a way to retaliate against her. Fortunately, he had left a hand at that time, giving her the photos of Zhang Da raping her in the office for her to keep for a rainy day. He reckoned Zhang Da wouldn't dare to do anything to Bai Ling.
Su Qing didn't return from the Provincial Committee until the afternoon. After holding a meeting for a whole day, she was so tired that she lay on the bed when she returned home. Zhao De accompanied her and lay by her side until after nine o'clock in the evening. After resting and gathering his energy for a few hours, the two rolled around on the bed and tossed again before getting out of bed to cook and eat.
On Monday morning, when going to work, Zhao De ran into Zheng the Bald Donkey, who had just gotten off the car, in front of the unit building. He walked up with a smile and took the initiative to greet the leader, "Director Zheng, good morning. Why did you hang up the phone yesterday while talking? Do you have anything to do?"
Zheng the Bald Donkey looked at him with indifference. He clearly looked very unhappy and said coldly, "You are very busy with business this weekend." As he spoke, he walked straight toward the building as if he hadn't seen him.
Zheng the Bald Donkey's attitude toward him was a 180-degree turn from his previous enthusiasm, which made Zhao De very puzzled. He stood on the spot, bewildered, his brain turned a few times, and thought, could it be that Sister Su called him? Otherwise, why did this old guy suddenly become so cold toward him?
Standing on the spot, he thought that since Sister Su had already called him, he didn't have to worry about anything. Presumably, this old guy had always felt that he valued and appreciated him so much, but he was unappreciative, and he couldn't get over it for a while. Anyway, he hadn't done anything to apologize to him, and he still had the heart but not the guts for Zheng Ru, and hadn't slept with her yet. What else could the old guy do to him? As long as there were no mistakes in work and he didn't give him an excuse to make a fuss, that would be it. On the contrary, after Sister Su called him, he could hold his head high in the unit, so as not to be said by other colleagues behind his back about things like him clinging to power and fawning over the powerful.
"Beep beep beep." Just as he was letting his imagination run wild, a harsh sound of a horn startled him. He shook violently, turned his head to look, and found it was Division Chief Lan driving over. And he was truly unlucky, but he happened to be standing in the place that blocked her parking last time. There is a saying that you must not make the same mistake in the same place, but he happened to make the same mistake in the same place twice. So, he immediately jumped to the side in a panic and nodded at Division Chief Lan in the car with a grin.
Lan Mei might have been affected by the fact that her ex-husband was taken away by the Commission for Discipline Inspection for investigation. She parked the car slowly, crawled out of the car, glared at Zhao De fiercely, and walked out toward the office building with a straight face and no expression.
Zhao De had just opened his mouth with a grin, preparing to ask her, but before the words came out, he was given such a fierce stinking face by her. Looking at her arrogant back, for a moment, he truly couldn't get over it. Did he step on dog shit today? Early in the morning, he was first given a face by that old guy Zheng the Bald Donkey for no reason, and then he was given a face by Division Chief Lan again.
