"Director, it's me, Comrade Xiao Zhao." Zhao Desan answered respectfully from outside.

Zheng Tulu heard it was Zhao Desan, so he sat up halfway, yawned, and said, "Come in."

Zhao Desan pushed the door and went in. As soon as he saw Zheng Tulu's lazy appearance, he knew he had disturbed his rest, so he said sweetly, "Director, I'm truly sorry, I disturbed your rest."

"What's the matter, say it." Zheng Tulu yawned again, picked up the cigarette box from the table, took a cigarette, lit it, and refreshed himself.

"Director, then I won't beat around the bush. I'll just say it directly if there's anything." Zhao Desan said, nodding and bowing.

Zheng Tulu puffed out a puff of smoke, crossed his legs, leaned on the boss chair, tilted his head, looked at him, and said, "Say it." The old guy knew this stinky kid must have come to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason.

Zhao Desan nodded and smiled awkwardly, saying, "Director, I came to find you today to discuss a matter with you, Director." Zhao Desan said he wouldn't beat around the bush, but his language habits still made Zheng Tulu feel he was beating around the bush. So, while flicking the ash, he said somewhat impatiently, "If there's anything, just say it directly, don't be so long-winded."

Seeing Zheng Tulu a bit impatient, Zhao Desan smiled slightly awkwardly, then continued, "It's like this, Director. I want to reflect on the difficulties Zhao Da's family is facing now. He just left the hospital two days ago, and I'm afraid he will have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. He also has a small child and a wife. The family situation is not good, and his wife has nothing to do now. There is almost no source of income in the family. His wife has worked in the District Construction Committee before and has work experience. Director, can you consider it, arrange for her to come to our unit, take over Zhao Da's previous work, and help their family solve practical difficulties?"

After Zheng Tulu's romantic affairs in the office were spread in the system, after He Liping's reminder, he was suspecting it was Zheng Jie who spread it, and was just looking for a reason and time to make an appointment with her to talk. Zhao Desan came to handle things for Zheng Jie. Hearing the situation he reflected, Zheng Tulu was not moved like Jia Wanli, but glanced at Zhao Desan and started to think thoughtfully while smoking.

Seeing Zheng Tulu not expressing his position, Zhao Desan continued to flatter him, saying, "Director, I know you are also a leader with sympathy. Zhao Da's family is facing such severe difficulties, and his wife is truly not easy as a woman. Director, can you consider it?"

"Did Zhao Da's wife come to the unit to find you a few days ago?" Zheng Tulu still didn't express his position, but threw a question to Zhao Desan. An old hand is an old hand, knowing that Zhao Desan came to beg him for Zhao Da's family matters, it must be Zhao Da's wife who came to find him.

Zhao Desan's intelligence was not low either, so he immediately had a flash of inspiration and went down the slope, saying, "Oh, yes, yes, she did come to find me a few days ago, saying she came several times and went to the wrong office." The implication was to let Zheng Tulu understand that he knew some things like the back of his hand.

Just as Zhao Desan finished this sentence, Zheng Tulu's expression underwent a subtle change. A flash of panic flashed across his face, then he smiled, pretending to be calm, and said, "Zhao Da's wife and you, Comrade Xiao Zhao, have a pretty good relationship, right?"

Zhao Desan was stunned for a moment, then laughed as if nothing had happened, saying, "I've visited Brother Zhao a few times, so we are relatively familiar." At the same time, he was saying in his heart: It's not just pretty good, it's simply great.

Zheng Tulu nodded and said, "Comrade Xiao Zhao, as a unit leader, I will attach importance to the situation you reflected. However, this matter needs to be studied at a team meeting before a decision can be made. I can't make this decision alone now."

Zhao Desan nodded with a smile, indicating understanding, and then asked with great concern, "Director, she hasn't come to find you, right?"

"No, no." Zheng Tulu's expression was clearly a bit panicked, but he still said, pretending to be calm.

"Oh, that's good. I was just afraid she would disturb you, Director. It's good that she didn't disturb you." Zhao Desan played dumb, but it made Zheng Tulu attach importance to the suggestion he put forward from a psychological perspective. Because Zheng Jie had seen his romantic affairs in the office with her own eyes, now that she wanted to come to the Construction Committee to take over Zhao Da's position, the old guy felt he had to think about it carefully. Zheng Tulu frowned slightly, feeling that this matter was not so easy to handle, but as an old hand, he wouldn't express his position on the spot. So

while smoking, he thought about it for a long time, puffed out a smoke ring, and said, "Comrade Xiao Zhao, it's like this. Let me think about the matter you reflected carefully, and study it with other team members. Zhao Da's family is indeed facing great difficulties. As a unit leader, I will strive to implement the matter you reflected, but not now. What do you think?" Zheng Tulu still had to discuss it carefully with He Liping and listen to her opinion before planning to make a decision, so his position was very ambiguous.

However, Zhao Desan knew that this old guy must have concerns in his heart. Even if he didn't want to agree, he wouldn't dare to refuse directly like this. He must be thinking about what countermeasures to take. In order to further exert psychological pressure on Zheng Tulu, Zhao Desan laughed and said, "This is also fine. Then I won't let Brother Zhao's wife come to the unit to trouble you, Director, again and again. But it's best if you can implement her work as soon as possible, Director. I'm afraid that as a woman, if the psychological pressure is too great and you don't help her, Director, I'm afraid she will speak ill of you."

Although Zhao Desan's words were not straightforward and were very implicit, Zheng Tulu, as the person involved, naturally understood the charm in his ears and heart. The expression on his face underwent a subtle change in an instant. He laughed 'hehe,' but it was extremely unnatural. However, he pretended to be calm and said, "Yes, yes, you are now a Deputy Division Chief, Comrade Xiao Zhao, and your ideological awareness has improved a lot. You know how to consider for the leader. I will study Zhao Da's wife's matter with the team members as soon as possible, and see the opinions of other leaders. I think there should be no problem, but the procedure still needs to be followed." On the matter of transferring Zheng Jie, the old guy played Tai Chi for fear of ruining his reputation.
