Chapter 962

Zheng Tulu glanced sideways at Liu Hairu, nodded at Su Qing with a somewhat awkward smile, changed the subject, and asked with a fawning smile, "What has Minister Su been busy with lately?"

"Nothing particularly busy, but I can't stay idle every day, just like Director Zheng," Su Qing said, keeping her cards close to her chest.

After finishing the meal with Zheng Tulu, on the way back, Zhao De said triumphantly to Su Qing, "Sister Su, it seems Director Zheng is still quite afraid of you."

Su Qing glanced at him sideways, feeling quite satisfied in her heart. She smiled dismissively and said, "Hmph, I even specifically called him about your Party School training. He didn't get it done. If he didn't come to apologize to me in person, he would be taking me, the Minister of the Provincial Party Organization Department, far too lightly. I don't believe Zheng Liangyu has the guts."

"Sister Su, I feel like something is a bit off." Zhao De thought carefully about Zheng Tulu's performance today. It had been several days since the Party School matter, so why was Zheng Tulu only becoming so enthusiastic toward him today? And why did he choose today to invite him and Sister Su to dinner? He wasn't busy the last two days either.

Su Qing turned her head to look at him and asked, "What is off about it?"

"Why did Director Zheng choose today of all days to invite Sister Su and me to dinner? Is he afraid that Sister Su will discipline him, or what?" Zhao De asked, puzzled.

Su Qing squeezed out a sly smile. While driving, she said, "De, I won't hide it from you. Not getting you into the Party School made me feel like I lost face in front of you. I was preparing to discipline your Director Zheng properly and give him a taste of his own medicine. For the past two days, I've been planning to pull some strings to have his Construction Bureau Director's hat removed."

Zhao De only felt that Sister Su was very angry about this matter, but he didn't know she had already started taking steps to bring down Zheng Tulu. So, his eyes widened, and he asked in astonishment, "Sister Su, you mean you are going to… going to remove Director Zheng?"

Su Qing chuckled and said, "I don't have the power to dismiss him on the spot, but I can transfer him through personnel adjustments, removing him from the director's seat, so he knows that Sister is not someone to be trifled with. To think he wouldn't even handle a matter I entrusted to him."

"Then… then since he has already apologized to Sister Su in person today, what does Sister Su plan to do?" Zhao De asked curiously.

Su Qing sighed and said, "Since he has expressed his stance so sincerely, let's let him off the hook for now and see his subsequent attitude. What do you think?" As she said this, Su Qing looked at him.

"Whatever Sister Su says, we'll do," Zhao De said. Although he didn't want to let Zheng Tulu off so easily, Zheng Tulu had made a profound statement at the dinner table. If he were to tear his face off with him now, it would instead affect his own official career. He didn't want to see all his previous efforts go to waste.

"Then let's do that. Let's watch his performance. If he dares to deliberately pick on you at the bureau again, you tell Sister. If I don't give him a taste of his own medicine, he won't take me, Su Qing, seriously," Su Qing said.

Zhao De gazed at Su Qing with deep eyes and said, "Sister Su, you are so good to me."

"If I'm not good to you, who would I be good to?" Su Qing said with a smile.

"I am a person who knows how to repay kindness. I must repay you well, Sister Su," Zhao De said with a wicked smile.

Seeing his wicked look, Su Qing knew this guy had some ill intent. She smiled faintly and asked, "How will you repay me?"

Zhao De leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Let's 'drive' when we get back." Zhao De knew that a woman of Su Qing's age, with no family or friends around, lacked not only emotional care but, more importantly, physical and spiritual comfort. A woman, especially a woman like Su Qing, once you conquer her endless emptiness and desire, you conquer her heart.

As soon as they returned home, Zhao De picked Su Qing up by the waist, walked straight to the bedroom, placed her carefully and flatly on the bed, and pressed his whole body onto her.

Because he had already galloped twice on the one-in-a-million Director Lan that afternoon, it was impossible for him to have a strong reaction the moment he climbed onto Su Qing. But he had his own way. Through slow, gentle kisses and caresses, he pushed the atmosphere toward a climax bit by bit, like boiling a frog in warm water, letting Sister Su and him unknowingly enter a dreamlike, self-forgetful state.

After treating Zhao De and Su Qing to dinner, Zheng Tulu had apologized to Su Qing in person at the table. Although he received Su Qing's superficial understanding, Zheng Tulu did not relax or set his mind at ease. His heart was still hanging in the air, very worried that his official hat might be suddenly removed on some day in the near future. Upon returning home that night, he sat on the sofa, smoking a cigarette, considering this matter with an anxious face. He thought and thought, and finally picked up his phone and made several calls in a row to people he knew in the province to pull strings and smooth this matter over. ===== CHAPTER 963 =====
