Chapter 1424: I Thought I Dialed the Wrong Number

This afternoon, Zhao Desan was thinking in the office about his promotion to Deputy Division Chief on Monday, and thinking about it made him unable to stop laughing. Just when he was lost in thought, the ringtone of the mobile phone on the table interrupted his thinking. The afternoon sun in late spring made him a bit drowsy. He grabbed the mobile phone lazily and said to the phone with a bad temper: "What's the matter?"

"Excuse me, is this Zhao Desan?" A sweet voice came from the other end of the phone. Zhao Desan was stunned. For a moment, he couldn't remember whose voice it was.

"Excuse me, is this Zhao Desan?" The other end of the phone urged again.

"Oh, yes, yes! I am Zhao Desan," Zhao Desan answered hurriedly.

"Oh, it's you. I thought I dialed the wrong number. I'm inviting you to dinner at 'Qingyise' Hot Pot City tonight, do you have time?" The sweet voice on the other end of the phone issued an invitation to Zhao Desan.

"Oh, I have time, but, but I don't know who you are yet?" Zhao Desan searched for the woman in his memory rapidly, but just couldn't remember who this sweet voice belonged to.

"Giggle..." A series of silver bell-like laughter came from the other end of the phone, and then she seemed to be trying to hold back her laughter and said: "You're not old, but your memory is so bad! I'm your sister-in-law!"

"Sister... Sister-in-law!" Zhao Desan almost fell to the ground. He would never have thought that Zheng Jie would invite him to dinner. No, absolutely not. She must be teasing him. Why would she invite him to dinner without taking care of Zhao Da in the hospital? Thinking of this, Zhao Desan hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, I'm really sorry, I... I didn't..."

"Alright, you don't need to say anything more, just tell me if you have time tonight, and if you can come?" Zheng Jie interrupted Zhao Desan and asked directly.

"Alright, I have time, what time? I will definitely arrive on time." Zhao Desan took out a man's tone, thinking, even if it's a Hongmen Banquet, I have to go. After all, the opportunities to have individual contact with Zheng Jie, this beauty, were too few.

"Alright then, 6:30 tonight, Qingyise Hot Pot City, see you there." After saying this, without waiting for Zhao Desan to answer, Zheng Jie hung up the phone.

Zhao Desan was extremely conflicted. A feeling he couldn't describe filled his chest. He Liping and Zheng Tulu, these two leaders who gave him a headache, although they recommended him to be Deputy Division Chief, had been calling him to brainwash him for the past two days. He had the heart not to work here, but Sister Su had also put in effort, and he had just been fostered by her. He couldn't let his efforts go to waste because of his momentary impulse. With no other choice, Zhao Desan could only face reality and support himself bravely.

The night light of late spring shrouded this historic city. Zhao Desan came to Qingyise Hot Pot City with a complex and expectant mood. When he arrived at the door of the hot pot city, Zheng Jie was already waiting there. She was dressed very appropriately, her figure appeared plump and graceful, and her body curves were exquisite and moving under the matching of that professional casual wear. Coupled with her pretty and perfect face, it made many passing diners couldn't help but cast envious glances at her.

Perhaps because she was too excited and nervous, Zhao Desan's face had an extremely unnatural expression. He greeted Zheng Jie. After seeing him come, Zheng Jie appeared exceptionally happy. Actually, when entering the door, whether intentionally or unintentionally, she draped a slender arm over Zhao Desan's elbow. Her action made Zhao Desan, who was already a bit nervous, tremble, and his heart was beating like a rabbit, "thump, thump," non-stop.

After the two sat down, Zheng Jie smiled and handed the menu to Zhao Desan, saying: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, take a look, order whatever you want to eat!"

Zhao Desan looked flattered. He hurriedly said: "Oh, no need, no need, I'm fine with anything."

"Giggle..." Zheng Jie laughed, then pursed her lips at Zhao Desan and said: "It seems there is no dish called 'anything' here?"

Zhao Desan was also amused by Zheng Jie's little humor. He felt that tonight shouldn't be a Hongmen Banquet. Zheng Jie must have had some particularly happy event. Did she win five million? Zhao Desan couldn't figure it out.

Zhao Desan had been unable to figure out why Zheng Jie invited him to dinner today. His excited and confused heart finally calmed down after the waiter lit the hot pot and all the dishes were served.

When Zheng Jie picked up the wine glass in her hand and shook the deep purple red wine in the glass slowly, Zhao Desan hurriedly picked up his wine glass and said with a bit of excitement: "Sister-in-law, I... I'll toast you."

Zheng Jie smiled slightly, then bumped the wine glass in her hand heavily against the wine glass in Zhao Desan's hand, took a deep sip, and said: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, you have spent a lot of effort for my family's affairs, spending money and effort, and Sister-in-law has never had time to thank you. Today, I happen to have some time, so Sister-in-law sincerely thanks you. There are not many good men like you now."

The phrase "good man" made Zhao Desan feel a bit embarrassed. He smiled awkwardly and said: "No, no, I'm afraid I can't be considered a good man."

"Hehe, I'm afraid that's because our standards for measuring a man are different!" Zheng Jie was the first to excuse Zhao Desan. It was strange to say, this woman, especially such a beautiful and charming young woman, once she determined that you were a good man, she would have countless excuses to give herself.
