Chapter 833

As soon as he rushed in, he discovered that it was Section Chief Lan who had returned. She was standing in front of the water dispenser getting water. Suddenly seeing Zhao Desan's strange behavior, she slightly furrowed her willow-leaf eyebrows and looked at him, bewildered, asking, "Comrade Xiao Zhao, why did you come in?"

"I... I heard a noise in your office, Section Chief Lan, and thought... I thought there was a thief... Hehe..." Zhao Desan said with a cheeky grin.

Lan Mei was amused by him and pursed her lips into a smile. Seeing her smile so radiantly, Zhao Desan felt as if he were bathed in a spring breeze, and he said with a chuckle, "Section Chief Lan, you're finally smiling. You look truly charming when you smile."

Although Lan Mei's eyes still looked a bit red, her smile, revealing a set of pearly white teeth and shallow dimples on her cheeks, was indeed exceptionally bright and charming. Praised by Zhao Desan's sweet talk, Lan Mei felt a bit embarrassed. She had never smiled like this in front of her subordinates before, always leaving others with an impression of being cold and aloof. Zhao Desan was the only man who had seen her cry so sorrowfully and also seen her smile so heartily. This made Lan Mei lower her brows in shyness, then raise them again, looking at him with her usual bewitching gaze as she said, "Zhao Desan, don't give me that cheeky grin at work."

Damn! Putting on airs of being aloof again, Zhao Desan thought to himself, but he didn't dare say it out loud. He didn't know why, but whenever he saw Section Chief Lan's cold and glamorous expression, he felt a bit afraid. His cheeky grin stiffened, and he slowly reined in the smile on his face.

Seeing his expression become somewhat awkward, Lan Mei knew she still had some authority in front of this guy. A sly smile flashed across the corner of her mouth as she carried her teacup to her chair, sat down, softened her tone, and asked him quietly, "Comrade Xiao Zhao, why aren't you resting at noon? What are you doing staying in the office?"

"I finished eating and had nothing to do, so I came to the office," Zhao Desan said.

Lan Mei gave an "oh," took a sip of water, and seemed to have forgotten the humiliation of that day. Lan Mei had this kind of personality: strong-willed and unwilling to admit defeat. Even if she had suffered all sorts of grievances in private, she still acted cold and arrogant at work. The fact that she had been raped by Baldy Zheng was known only to Baldy Zheng, herself, and Zhao Desan in the entire unit, so her attitude toward Zhao Desan was much gentler than before. She had just glanced at him with that bewitching gaze, and now she had returned to her graceful appearance.

"Do... do you have anything else?" Lan Mei asked him, seeing him standing there without speaking.

"Oh, no... nothing else." Zhao Desan really couldn't find any excuse to linger in this office, even though Section Chief Lan's devilish figure and angelic face fascinated him greatly.

"Then I want to rest in the office. If there's nothing else, you can go out and help me pull the door shut," Section Chief Lan said, looking somewhat exhausted, dismissing him.

So Zhao Desan retreated. As he turned back to pull the door shut, he saw Section Chief Lan take her mobile phone out of her handbag. This action suddenly made Zhao Desan think of Baldy Zheng; he was the same, usually liking to keep his phone either on his desk or in his handbag. Thinking of this habit, Zhao Desan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a way to get back those photos of Lan Mei's compromising positions, though he didn't know if it was feasible; he would have to try it to find out.

At this time, Baldy Zheng had finished attending the opening ribbon-cutting ceremony for Lin Dafa's real estate company in Xijing City as an important guest at noon. After a meal, he and Director Feng from the Land Bureau were arranged by Lin Dafa to go to the most high-end bath center in Xijing City, "Blue Sea and Blue Sky," for post-meal recreation. At this moment, Baldy Zheng was lying on a large bed in a VIP room at the bath center, exposing his fat, and flirting with a young lady. The young girl, who looked only seventeen or eighteen, was wearing a sexy uniform, curled up beside him, accompanying this old lecher with explicit talk while helping him massage his thighs according to the procedure. The old bald man lifted his foot toward her chest while asking with a wicked grin, "How old are you?"

While saying explicit things, Baldy Zheng held the young girl's willow waist and thrust his hips upward, indulging in the joy of dragon-and-phoenix play with her. Halfway through, the mobile phone the old guy had left by the pillow began to play music. While continuing to copulate with the service lady, he impatiently picked up the phone and looked at it, only to see the name "Minister Su" on the screen. He then looked at the service lady sitting on him and moving up and down with extreme reluctance. The lady understood and stopped. Baldy Zheng leaned up, pressed the green answer button, and said with a very enthusiastic attitude, "Minister Su, what made you think of calling me? Do you have any instructions?"

Su Qing had just finished eating with people from the Organization Department and returned to her office. She had been keeping Zhao Desan's matter in mind, and since she had just returned and wasn't too busy, she called him to say hello. "Old Zheng, are you busy lately?" Su Qing said with a light smile.

"Busy, but not really; not busy, but busy. In any case, I can't compare to you, Minister Su. You are so busy usually; calling me must mean you have something to instruct me on, right?" Baldy Zheng had already guessed that the only reason Su Qing would call him was related to Zhao Desan.

"Old Zheng, it's like this: how is your unit arranging the document issued by the province?" Su Qing asked.

"Oh, this still needs to be decided by the meeting; it hasn't been specifically arranged yet. Minister Su, why are you concerned about our Construction Committee's affairs?" Baldy Zheng asked, pretending to be ignorant while chuckling. He held up two fingers to the young girl, who understood and took a cigarette from the table, lit it herself, and then put it into his mouth.

"Old Zheng, then what do you think yourself? Who to send to the Party School for training? You should have a rough idea, right?" Su Qing asked.
