Chapter 867

Zhao Desan was startled and panicked. He quickly closed the photos, created a package, sent it to his own email, deleted the folder from the desktop, glanced at the time on the computer, and found it was almost time for work. Only then did he walk up with feigned composure, opened the door, and said with a chuckle, "Coming to work so early?"

"Why did you lock the door?" Seeing his sneaky appearance, Zheng Ru said with a huff while walking in.

"Lying on the table to sleep, afraid of being disturbed." Zhao Desan said with a grin.

Zheng Ru walked toward her seat and said sharply, "Look at what time it is, still sleeping! Besides, is the office a place for sleeping!"

It had been a while since he had a showdown with Zheng Ru, and her indifferent attitude toward him always made Zhao Desan feel a bit angry. He followed her and asked, "Zheng Ru, do you have an opinion about me or something?"

Zheng Ru glanced at him sideways, gave a huff, and said, "Tch! As if I'd bother!" Saying this, she sat down indifferently and opened her computer, ignoring Zhao Desan anymore.

Zhao Desan didn't want to ask for trouble either. Since she was ignoring him, he didn't say anything, just returned to his seat and sat down as if nothing had happened. Suddenly, he saw the phone still lying on the table, so he quickly picked it up and put it in his pocket, thinking to himself that it was fortunate Zheng Ru hadn't seen this phone. She would definitely recognize her father's phone; if she picked it up and saw the call logs inside, she would definitely have seen through it. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but gasp, forcing his mood to calm down, preparing to go find Section Chief Lan as soon as she arrived at the office to tell her this good news and establish his masculine prestige in front of her.

Waiting until two o'clock for work, Zhao Desan carried the phone, stood up quietly, and walked straight out of the office. When he arrived at the door of Section Chief Lan's office and was about to knock, he heard footsteps coming from the stairwell. He turned his face to look and saw Xia Jian heading up to the third floor. Zhao Desan didn't have time to tell him he was on the wrong floor before seeing he had already gone to the third floor. Zhao Desan was eager to tell Section Chief Lan the good news, so he didn't think much of it and knocked on the door of Section Chief Lan's office a few times.

"Please come in." Lan Mei responded from inside.

Zhao Desan pushed the door open, closed it behind him, and called out with a chuckle, "Section Chief Lan."

Lan Mei was looking in the mirror. She put the mirror down, gave him a bewitching look, and asked, "What is it?"

"Section Chief Lan, I have some good news to tell you." Zhao Desan walked up with a sneaky smile, took the phone directly out of his pants pocket, and handed it to her, "Section Chief Lan, take a look at the photo album."

When Lan Mei saw this, wasn't this the phone she drove him to buy on Dongfeng Road that day? She hesitated for a moment, gave him a bewitching look, and only then took the phone. Then she opened the photo album and immediately saw those photos of herself lying on the bed completely naked. Upon seeing these photos of her ugly state, Lan Mei was immediately shocked and looked at him. Out of surprise, she finished looking at these photos one by one, only to be astonished that the beast Zheng Tulu had taken so many nude photos of her. Lan Mei simply couldn't believe that the woman on the photos, who was charming and completely naked, revealing all the most mysterious parts of a woman, was herself. That night, after being drugged by that beast Zheng Tulu, she didn't know anything at all. After finishing looking at these photos of her ugly state, Lan Mei felt her face burning. She raised her eyes slightly, asked Zhao Desan with a blushing face, "You... how did you get these photos?"

"Didn't I say I would definitely help Section Chief Lan get these photos back? A real man keeps his word; once I've said it, I'll definitely do it." Zhao Desan said triumphantly.

Lan Mei lowered her head and looked at this phone again, finding that although it was the phone she drove him to buy on Dongfeng Road that afternoon, there was still a bit of a difference. This phone looked used, not like a new one, so she guessed what was going on. "Is this that beast's phone?" She raised her head and asked with a blushing face, guessing.

Zhao Desan smiled and nodded: "Yes, it is Director Zheng's phone."

"You... how did you get it?" Lan Mei was very puzzled; how could Zhao Desan have gotten Zheng Tulu's phone?

"Today, taking advantage of him going out for a meeting, I slipped into his office, pulled a 'civet cat for a crown prince' trick, and swiped it." Zhao Desan said triumphantly.

"You... aren't you afraid he'll find out?" Lan Mei looked at him with her dark, bright eyes, then lowered her brows and asked.

"Didn't Section Chief Lan think I couldn't do what I promised you? As long as I can help you get these photos back, even if he finds out, it's worth it." Zhao Desan seized the opportunity to say with sweet words.

Zhao Desan's words and his actions of doing what he said made Lan Mei feel a little moved. Her dark, bright eyes stared at him for a while, looking somewhat affectionate, which made Zhao Desan secretly realize that this cold and beautiful young woman had gradually developed a good impression of him, and he felt a bit excited.

After gazing affectionately at Zhao Desan for a while, Lan Mei lowered her head again, looked at those hot photos of herself again, and her face burned with heat, "Comrade Xiao Zhao, you... have you seen these photos?"

"I have." Zhao Desan said without thinking. Seeing Section Chief Lan's face immediately turn completely red and her eyes widen slightly in anger, he immediately realized he had said the wrong thing. He thought to himself that since he had already said it, he might as well just go along with it. So he seized the opportunity to say in a low voice with a grin: "Section Chief Lan, your figure is too good."

"Comrade Xiao Zhao, you... please stop talking." Lan Mei looked at him shyly, lowered her head, and said, thinking to herself that her body had been seen by this guy, it was truly shameful.

Seeing Lan Mei blushing all over, not even embarrassed to look up at him, Zhao Desan got bold and said with a sneaky smile: "Really, I didn't expect Section Chief Lan's figure to be so good."

"You... shut up!" Lan Mei looked at him shyly and said somewhat angrily. Deep down, she was a decent woman. Although Zhao Desan helped her get these photos back, she couldn't accept this guy taking the opportunity to tease her.

Seeing Section Chief Lan was a bit angry, Zhao Desan covered his mouth and said: "Section Chief Lan, you've finished looking at the photos, can you return the phone to me?"

Afraid that Zhao Desan would hide these photos, Lan Mei softened her tone and said with a blushing face: "You... you go out first, wait until I delete these photos, then I'll return it to you."

Zhao Desan had long expected that she would delete these photos. Fortunately, he had already secretly copied a version and saved it in his email, so he said with a chuckle: "That's fine, Section Chief Lan, just return it to me whenever you've finished deleting them. Alright, I won't disturb you deleting the photos, I'll go back to the office first."

"Mm." Lan Mei nodded with a blushing face. Just as Zhao Desan walked to the door and was about to open it, she suddenly called out to him again.

Is Section Chief Lan going to return the favor? Zhao Desan was a bit pleasantly surprised and thought wildly, turned around, looked a bit lecherous, and asked with a chuckle: "Section Chief Lan, anything else?"

Lan Mei originally wanted to tell him about the matter decided at the meeting this morning, to tell him that Zheng Tulu had excluded him. But seeing Zhao Desan's excited appearance, she didn't want to disturb his good mood, so she opened her mouth and stopped, smiled faintly, and said: "Nothing, you go to work."

Zhao Desan widened his eyes in confusion and asked: "Really nothing?"

"Nothing, you go to work." Lan Mei said with a faint smile.

Zhao Desan thought to himself, was it that Section Chief Lan wanted to say some intimate words to him but was too embarrassed to speak? He thought that through this matter, he had almost made her develop a good impression of him. As the saying goes, haste makes waste. Facing such a stunning, top-tier beauty, Zhao Desan felt he must not be in a hurry; he had to take it slowly, little by little, making her willing to "sacrifice herself" for him voluntarily. So he smiled cunningly, opened the door, and walked out of Lan Mei's office.

Returning triumphantly from Section Chief Lan's office and sitting down, Zhao Desan suddenly noticed that Xia Jian hadn't come to work yet. Thinking of seeing him rushing up to the third floor just now, he turned his face and asked Zheng Ru: "Zheng Ru, Brother Xia hasn't come over yet?"

"No." Zheng Ru didn't even look at him, saying indifferently.

"Just now I saw him rushing to the third floor, I thought he went to the wrong floor." Zhao Desan said. Finding Zheng Ru ignoring him, he didn't ask for trouble either. Let him come to work or not, it had nothing to do with him.

It turned out that after Xia Jian finished eating lunch in the cafeteria, he slipped out of the unit alone to a high-end tobacco and alcohol specialty store. To repay Zheng Tulu's kindness, he gritted his teeth and spent three thousand yuan to buy two cartons of "He Tianxia" cigarettes produced by Hunan China Tobacco Industrial Company. After work, waiting for Zheng Tulu to go to the office, he wrapped the two cartons of cigarettes in a black plastic bag and sneaked toward the upstairs. When passing by the second floor, he was seen by Zhao Desan, who was about to find Section Chief Lan.

Xia Jian tucked the two cartons of cigarettes under his arm and went up to the third floor, looking around. Finding no one in the corridor, he lowered his head and walked quickly to the door of Zheng Tulu's office. While looking left and right, he knocked on the door a few times gently and called out in a low voice: "Director Zheng."

"Come in." Zheng Tulu had just entered the office and sat down. Hearing someone knocking on the door, he took a sip of water, put down his teacup, and responded.

Xia Jian pushed the door open and came in. He walked up with a fawning smile and placed the black plastic bag containing the two cartons of cigarettes on the table for him, saying: "Director Zheng, I bought two cartons of cigarettes for you."

"Xiao Xia, tell me, what are you doing? Didn't I say it before, recently the crackdown on clean government is tight, don't take these things out, why don't you listen." Zheng Tulu knew clearly why Xia Jian had come. While saying this, he opened the bag and looked. Although the two cartons of "He Tianxia" couldn't be considered high-grade things, they weren't particularly shabby either, especially considering Xia Jian's financial condition, it could be considered a big investment. ===== CHAPTER 868 =====
