Chapter 884: The Drinking Isn't the Point

"You don't even know what kind of person I am, Director Liu." Ma Lan used a tissue to wipe the liquor from the corner of her mouth, her watery eyes appearing extremely coquettish.

Liu Jianguo said with a chuckle, "Little Lan is good, really good."

"It's all because of your good training when I was working under you, Director Liu." Ma Lan said deliberately in a coquettish tone. This made Liu Jianguo's heart itch even more. Looking at her coquettish demeanor and the still-graceful, domineering figure she maintained, he had endless aftertastes of the wonderful things that had happened between him and this former female subordinate in the office.

"Look at you, Little Lan, you still talk like that. I like it, haha..." Liu Jianguo praised her endlessly, then burst into hearty laughter.

Ma Lan looked at him with seductive eyes, the corners of her mouth curling into a charming, seductive smile, and said in a slightly coquettish voice, "As long as you like it, Director Liu."

Facing Ma Lan, who appeared so glamorous and infinitely coquettish in front of him, Liu Jianguo's heart itched more and more. He would occasionally look her up and down with a pair of lecherous eyes. Her snow-white trench coat was open, revealing a black silk low-cut wool sweater underneath, which tightly wrapped her body. She looked very slender, but on her chest were two towering peaks, round and firm, with great visual impact. There was a slight bulge on her small belly, which instead gave her a fleshy, not-too-greasy feeling, making Liu Jianguo yearn for her exquisite, curvaceous figure.

Ma Lan noticed that Liu Jianguo's eyes always revealed a lecherous gaze, always looking at her with such ill-intentioned eyes, so she deliberately said coquettishly, "Director Liu, why are you looking at me like that? You're making me feel embarrassed."

Liu Jianguo then withdrew his hot gaze from her breasts and said to her with a face full of smiles, "Little Lan, I find that you really haven't changed at all over these years. How do you keep your figure so good? It seems you're even more flavorful than you were a few years ago."

Ma Lan glanced at him with seductive, glamorous eyes and said coquettishly, "You're a bigger official now, Director Liu, and you talk better too." As she spoke, she filled their glasses with liquor.

Liu Jianguo laughed with glowing eyes, took a sip of liquor, and reached out to toast her again. With this back and forth, half a bottle was gone before long. Liu Jianguo had already drunk quite a bit with the people from the Municipal Party Committee Office before this. Now, his face was flushed, he was glowing, his eyes appeared even brighter, and he was laughing in a very ill-intentioned way.

Ma Lan's alcohol tolerance was okay; she was basically fine after a few glasses, but she tended to flush easily when drinking. Now, patches of rosy clouds were gradually appearing on her fair cheeks, pink and puffy, making her glamorous appearance look even more seductive. She looked at Liu Jianguo with blurry, watery eyes. Liu Jianguo looked at her with lecherous eyes and asked with a chuckle, "When are you planning to go back to Yuyang, Little Lan?"

"I want to stay for two days. Besides seeing Tingting, I actually have one more thing to do in Xijing." Ma Lan's face was slightly flushed, and she said with a smile while seductively brushing back her long hair.

"What thing?" Liu Jianguo became interested.

"Actually, how should I put it? It's some business matters. Director Liu, you might not know, but the state has more and more control policies over coal mining now, and there's basically no profit margin left. I want to come to Xijing to look at real estate. If possible, I want to do some real estate business in Xijing." Ma Lan finally revealed the real purpose of meeting Liu Jianguo this time.

This matter actually interested Liu Jianguo very much. He listened carefully, lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said, "You want to come to Xijing to do real estate, Little Lan? The real estate industry has a relatively large profit margin, but there are many developers, big and small, in Xijing. I'm afraid the competition will be very fierce. Besides, you don't have any network of connections here, and many procedures are hard to handle."

Ma Lan looked at him with seductive eyes and said, "I just have this idea for now. Besides, don't I know you, Director Liu? You're the director of the Xijing Municipal Party Committee Office now. Having your connection is enough."

Ma Lan's flattery made Liu Jianguo feel very pleased. He smiled and said, "Little Lan really knows how to talk. But if you really need help, Little Lan, you come find me. As long as it's within my ability, I will definitely help you handle it."

"Then I'll thank you first, Director Liu." Ma Lan said coquettishly, picked up her glass, and handed it over, "Come, Director Liu, I'll toast you first."

Liu Jianguo smiled as he picked up his glass and clinked it against hers. After downing another glass of wine, Ma Lan's complexion became even more flushed. She looked stunningly beautiful, radiating the unique allure of a mature young woman. Every gesture she made exuded a flirtatious and seductive charm that deeply stirred Liu Jianguo. Her flushed face, misty eyes, full and fiery red sexy lips, and the triangle of fragrant, snow-white skin revealed at her neckline—all of it made Liu Jianguo's heart itch. He began to fantasize about Ma Lan's hot, curvaceous body. His mind drifted back to many years ago in the office, when he had watched her sweep the floor with her round, perky buttocks stuck out. Unable to resist the scorching temptation, he had locked her inside the Yuyang Municipal Committee office and forcibly possessed the twenty-something-year-old Ma Lan. Although that time had been a journey of male pleasure completed amidst Ma Lan's desperate struggling and resistance, her tall, statuesque, and fleshy figure had given that "trip" a uniquely delightful sensation. Thinking of the scene from years ago, the image of Ma Lan, disheveled and sprawled on the sofa with her snow-white bottom stuck out while he stood behind her, holding her waist and galloping, appeared clearly in his mind. Reliving these hot, blood-pumping images, the expression on Liu Jianguo's face became increasingly like a drunkard whose heart was not in the wine, his eyes shining with malicious intent like a wolf in the night.

"Little Lan, just saying thank you with your mouth isn't enough. You have to take some practical action to show it." Liu Jianguo said with a wicked smile.

Ma Lan smiled seductively, looked at him coquettishly, and asked, "Then how do you want me to thank you, Director Liu?"

"That depends on how you want to thank me, Little Lan. But you also know that the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has investigated quite a few people this year. As for gifts or money, let's skip that." Liu Jianguo said with a chuckle.

Hearing him say this, Ma Lan knew that his "drinking wasn't the point" and that he had ill intentions. However, Liu Jianguo was still considered reliable; as long as he promised something, he would try his best to do it. If she was determined to do real estate in Xijing, she had to maintain a good relationship with Liu Jianguo and use his introduction to establish connections with leaders of other relevant departments. "Then you say it, Director Liu, how do you want me to thank you?"

"This... this depends on you, Little Lan." Liu Jianguo deliberately kept her in suspense and smiled, his gaze appearing lecherous.

"Director Liu, tomorrow is the weekend, you should have time, right?" Ma Lan's mouth curled into a seductive smile, and she suddenly asked this. Liu Jianguo was stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "Yes, yes."

"Then will you accompany me to visit the major high-end real estate projects in Xijing tomorrow, Director Liu? I wonder if you're willing?" Ma Lan said coquettishly. She wanted Liu Jianguo to take her to visit some famous real estate projects and communities tomorrow to observe and learn, preparing for her entry into the Xijing real estate industry.

"No problem. Do you want to buy a house in Xijing, Little Lan, or...?" Liu Jianguo asked with a chuckle.

"No, I want to see how other people's real estate projects are built first and learn. Maybe in a few days I'll make up my mind to open a real estate company in Xijing. At that time, I'll need you to put in more effort, Director Liu." Ma Lan said coquettishly, her demeanor glamorous, her face flushed, which made Liu Jianguo's heart itch. He smiled and said, "As long as you need me, Little Lan, you can call me anytime. Come, drink. We haven't seen each other for several years; we have to drink well tonight."

"Director Liu, come, I'll toast you." Ma Lan picked up her glass and handed it over with a seductive smile. Liu Jianguo immediately raised his glass and met her with a smile. They clinked gently, and while he drank with his head tilted back, he secretly observed Ma Lan with lowered eyes. Seeing that she had no guard at all and drank the liquor in her glass in a very hearty manner.

With this back and forth, the bottle was almost empty. Because they had been talking, Ma Lan hadn't eaten much. Originally, two people drinking one bottle wouldn't make them very drunk, but now, because her stomach was empty, she gradually felt dizzy and bloated, her eyelids felt sore, and her body began to feel hot. She slightly rested her chin on her hand, looked at Liu Jianguo with blurry eyes, feigned drunkenness, and said in a daze, "Director Liu, I've drunk a bit too much and feel a bit dizzy. You... you send me to the hotel to rest, okay?"

"Are you really drunk, Little Lan?" Seeing Ma Lan's elbow resting on the table, her palm supporting her chin, her face flushed red, so coquettish, Liu Jianguo felt an opportunity to take advantage. His eyes glowed, and a strange smile squeezed out from the corners of his mouth.

Ma Lan knew that this old guy just wanted her body, just wanted to have that thing between men and women with her. Anyway, she didn't know how many men in power had lain on her body to enjoy it in her life; Ma Lan didn't care about this. As long as she could establish a foothold in Xijing through his connections, sleeping with him a few times wouldn't make her lose a single hair. Thus, she feigned drunkenness, nodded, glanced at him with blurry eyes, then slightly narrowed them, and said in a daze, "My head is so dizzy, my body is so soft I don't have any strength left. Director Liu, you help me back to the hotel to rest, okay?" ===== CHAPTER 885 =====
