Wang Yu rolled his eyes and said, "You really have the nerve to say that. If you co to work late on your first day back after such a long vacation, that's truly outrageous."
"By the way, where did you go for your vacation with so many days off?" Liu Chun asked.
Luo Chao answered honestly, "I went to Shennongjia for a few days."
"Shennongjia?" Wang Yu exclaid, "Sothing big happened there recently. A major drug lord was growing a large field of poppies in the mountains. There were over 40 drug dealers, and according to news reports, it was said that a single special forces soldier took them all down. That drug lord was captured alive and tied to a big tree. That special forces soldier is incredible."
Liu Chun quickly added, "Luo Chao, did you know about this?"
Luo Chao hesitated for a mont, as if he shouldn't have ntioned he went there. Thankfully, he didn't give himself away and laughed it off, saying, "Of course, I knew about it. That's why I ran back scared out of my wits."
"Tch!" Liu Chun gave him a sideways glance, "Soone as badass as you say that, who would believe it?"
Wang Yu also joked, "If Liu Chun were there, he'd definitely crawl back if he had to."
"Crap!" Liu Chun cursed, "If I were there, there wouldn't be anything left for that special forces guy to do. Just call the police to handle it. One missile would turn the drug lord's plantation and him into ashes."
Luo Chao chuckled inwardly, too lazy to explain. If he'd known there were drug dealers in the mountains beforehand, he certainly wouldn't have risked taking Lanya and the others in. Inside the reserve, there was no cell signal, so how could he call for police fire support? Liu Chun's words were nonsense.
At this mont, a fragrant breeze wafted in as a graceful figure walked in through the logistics departnt's door. Wearing a white lace blouse hugging her well-endowed chest, paired with cropped jeans and pink high heels that accentuated her long, straight legs, she had a pretty and charming face. Her features were as delicate as a painting, her nose and lips were elegantly red, and she looked as graceful as a flower standing bloom.
Everyone in the logistics departnt was slightly surprised to see Lanya, the head of the departnt, arrive. It was the first day back at work after Luo Chao's vacation, and unexpectedly, Lanya, who hadn't been around for several days, showed up too. Such a coincidence.
Today, Lanya looked different. Her face was like a jade plate, but her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her beautiful eyes were brimming with a hint of unspoken springti joy. Seeing her radiant face, everyone inwardly wondered if Director Lan was in love.
No one was surprised since Lanya was the head of the logistics departnt, also the campus queen of Jiangning University—a goddess-level woman. Undoubtedly, she had countless suitors, so it seed reasonable for her to fancy soone among them.
Lanya entered the logistics departnt and walked directly to Luo Chao's desk, softly saying, "Luo Chao, co with to run so errands."
Luo Chao was montarily stunned and said bitterly, "Not another procurent run, please. I'm not feeling well today, can soone else go with you?"
Just a mont ago, Luo Chao was lively, so how could he suddenly not feel well? Besides, Lanya saw him talking with Wang Yu and Liu Chun. Who are you trying to fool!
Calling it procurent was just a pleasant way of saying it. It was basically going shopping with Director Lan. Luo Chao had suffered that fate before. More importantly, at Shennongjia Nature Reserve, he'd held Lanya and kissed her intensely.
Thinking of this made Luo Chao's heart race. Although he was a bit dazed at the ti, that sweet taste was unforgettable.
Therefore, Luo Chao felt quite nervous inside, not knowing how to face Lanya, whom he had taken such an advantage of, even if it was a beautiful misunderstanding.
Everyone expected the usually fiery Lanya to explode, but they were wide-eyed in astonishnt as Director Lan pouted playfully, saying, "Your excuse isn't even plausible. Besides, the errands today aren't about procurent; there's sothing else. Co with !"
She actually started shaking Luo Chao's arm coquettishly, right under everyone's eyes.
Whew! Luo Chao took a sharp breath. This was completely unlike the usual Lanya, yet it made him feel even more uneasy, convinced there must be a plot!
The other colleagues in the logistics departnt exchanged ambiguous and odd glances at Luo Chao, making him feel the creepy sensation in his scalp. With Lanya pestering him like this, everyone might really think he and Director Lan had sothing going on or even suspect him of seducing his superior.
Fine, if it's fortune, it's not trouble. If it's trouble, you can't avoid it. Luo Chao stood up from his chair, helplessly saying, "Alright!"
Lanya nodded cheerfully, "Okay, let's go!"
And so, Lanya led a rather unwilling Luo Chao down the elevator, quickly bringing her Audi TT from the parking lot and driving Luo Chao to the West District of Jiangning City.
The West District is an area with more rural land than urban, still on the path of converting villages to urban areas. After driving for an hour to get there, they saw vast rural residential areas, with only a few scattered tall buildings.
Luo Chao was perplexed. Lanya was indeed honest; they weren't going to a mall for shopping this ti but to the poorest part of Jiangning City—the West District. Everyone knew rural people are kind and simple, but they can also have an extre side, being uncivilized and unruly bumpkins that are hard to communicate with!
"What are we doing here?" Luo Chao couldn't help but ask out of curiosity when the car stopped on a main street in the West District.
Even though it was a main street in West District, most vehicles were farm tractors, and there were very few cars. However, Luo Chao believed in Jiangning City's wealth and that developnt would soon reach here; it was just a matter of ti before the changes occurred.
Lanya didn't rush to get out of the car, smiling charmingly, "Luo Chao, do you rember Ruan Qing who was with us last ti?"
"Yeah, I rember. Why bring her up now?" Luo Chao didn't hold high regard for that woman. She was supposed to be Lanya's friend, but in tis of crisis, she showed the ugliest side of human nature, making her unworthy of a close relationship.
Lanya bit her lip and said, "You know I have a good relationship with her. Her dad owns a stationery factory, and at her request, I bought a lot of office supplies from her dad. I trusted her and paid a large advance to her dad. According to the contract, the goods should be delivered within a month, but it's been over three months, and her dad still hasn't delivered. When I call him, he gives all sorts of excuses. So, I wanted to bring you to see what's going on."
