Chapter 1769
The longing for Zhao Desan, combined with the frustration of her official career, caused various emotions to intertwine, leaving her feeling very mixed and uncomfortable. She returned home with a thousand thoughts on the way, didn't even take a bath, and walked to the bedroom, leaning against the wall, feeling a bit dizzy. Swaying, she came to the bed, climbed up, and fell into a deep sleep.
At the same time, thousands of miles away in Beijing, Zhao Desan was lying on the headboard smoking and watching TV. The phone on the nightstand rang. It was already very late, and Zhao Desan's first reaction was that it was a call from Su Qing. He picked it up casually, only to find it was a call from Xi Bingbing. So he extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray, pressed the answer button, and said a gentle 'hello'.
"Zhao Desan, are you asleep?" As soon as the call connected, Xi Bingbing asked.
"Not yet... oh, asleep, asleep." Zhao Desan was suddenly afraid that Xi Bingbing would ask him to go out, so he hurriedly changed his words.
"I'll tell you a piece of good news." Xi Bingbing said something that made Zhao Desan feel baffled.
Zhao Desan was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, "What good news?" At the same time, he muttered to himself, 'Don't you dare tell me you're pregnant!'
"Do you still remember the favor you asked me to do when we were eating today?" Xi Bingbing asked a question that didn't answer his.
Zhao Desan thought back carefully for a long time before he suddenly remembered that he had asked her for help because of Sister Su's matter. But knowing the difficulty of this matter, he hadn't taken it to heart. Suddenly receiving a call from Xi Bingbing in the middle of the night about this, he immediately realized that there must be a chance, so he asked excitedly, "Is it about my cousin's matter?"
"Hmm, it seems you're not stupid." Xi Bingbing said with a smile.
"How is it? You didn't get it done, did you?" Zhao Desan asked tentatively.
"After I sent you back today, I kept working on this matter. Now it's finally done. The relationship with the Organization Department of the Central Committee has been cleared. When the time comes, if the person reported by Hexi Province is not your cousin Su Qing, the higher-ups won't approve it, and then they will give a suggestion for the Hexi Provincial Party Committee to report her," Xi Bingbing said.
"You... you aren't joking with me, are you?" Zhao Desan couldn't believe his ears for a moment. To be able to use the relationship of the Organization Department of the Central Committee, how high an official must that be?
"Who's joking with you? If you don't believe me, just wait and see!" Xi Bingbing said confidently.
"You... you are truly too amazing... I admire you too much. My admiration for you is like the flooding of the Yellow River, endless and continuous." Zhao Desan was so excited that he couldn't help but joke with Xi Bingbing.
Xi Bingbing thought thoughtfully and made a request, saying, "Zhao Desan, you say I've helped you with such a big favor, shouldn't you thank me?"
"Yes, yes, it should be, it should be." Zhao Desan said with a smile without hesitation. He was truly too excited, and even now he couldn't believe that Xi Bingbing would use such a big relationship.
"Then tell me, how do you plan to thank me?" Xi Bingbing asked, trying to make things difficult.
"Whatever you say, I'll do!" In order to repay Xi Bingbing's kindness, Zhao Desan said this without even thinking.
"Is it true that whatever I want you to do, you'll do?" Xi Bingbing asked mysteriously.
"Yes." Zhao Desan answered without hesitation, then hurriedly added, "No, no, I wouldn't dare to do anything illegal like murder or arson. I, Zhao Desan, am a law-abiding citizen of the People's Republic of China."
"How could I ask you to do something like murder or arson? Except for criminal matters, will you agree to anything else?" Xi Bingbing asked, playing with a password.
"This can be done." Zhao Desan couldn't suppress his excitement and said with a grin.
"Alright then, I'll tell you when I've thought about it." Xi Bingbing wasn't in a hurry to have Zhao Desan repay her first.
Zhao Desan nodded at the phone and said, "Done, then it's owed for now. Consider it a favor I owe you."
"Alright, I've handled your matter. It's not early anymore, rest early. I also need to rest; there are many things to do tomorrow." Xi Bingbing said.
"Good, then bye-bye." Zhao Desan said with a grin.
"Bye-bye." Xi Bingbing said gently, and then the call was hung up.
After finishing the call with Xi Bingbing, Zhao Desan felt as if he had personally experienced a feeling of coming back from the dead. He was simply overjoyed and couldn't release this wild joy. He even got out of bed and started marching in the room until he calmed his mood slightly. Only then did he return to the bed, lean against the headboard, and think that if Su Qing knew about this opportunity that had been completely lost but suddenly regained, her reaction would definitely be even more excited than his. So, Zhao Desan intended to share this good news with Su Qing, who was in disappointment, and picked up the phone again to call Su Qing.
'Sorry, the number you have dialed is powered off. Please dial again later.' The prompt from the information desk came from the phone.
"Why is it powered off?" Zhao Desan said to himself, took the phone from his ear, and placed it on the nightstand, thinking that it seemed this good news couldn't be shared with Sister Su in time.
After the excitement and joy, Zhao Desan thought from another perspective, thinking that this time Li Changping had calculated everything, but he definitely hadn't expected the final result to be completely beyond the expectations of Secretary Jin and the others. 'Heh heh', Li Changping, just wait and see the show! Zhao Desan thought in his heart.
Thinking of Su Qing's regained opportunity, thinking of the resentment Li Changping would have nowhere to vent after his opportunity was forcibly taken away, Zhao Desan was excited for most of the night, not falling asleep until past one o'clock.
The next day at noon, after Zhao Desan finished the morning training and returned to the hotel room for a nap after lunch, he suddenly remembered the good news Xi Bingbing had told him last night. Since he hadn't gotten through to Su Qing last night, he should hurry up and tell her this good news now. So, Zhao Desan grabbed the phone excitedly and called Su Qing.
Although Su Qing had powered off her phone last night, she had also been awake almost all night. Especially thinking that once Li Changping was promoted to Deputy Secretary, her days would definitely not be easy. Thinking of the crisis-ridden work, she had tossed and turned, pondering for a whole night. Today, coming to the unit and seeing Li Changping looking more and more spirited, Su Qing felt an indescribable sense of loss and jealousy. She had been in a daze in her office for the whole morning, and she hadn't even stepped out of the office door for lunch. When Zhao Desan's call came, Su Qing was still frowning and thinking about this matter. Seeing the phone ringing on the desk with Zhao Desan's name, Su Qing picked it up listlessly, pressed the answer button, held it to her ear, and asked in a low mood, "Desan, is something the matter?"
"Something is the matter, of course something is the matter. Sister Su, I'll tell you a piece of heaven-shaking good news. Can you guess what good news it is?" Zhao Desan said excitedly and mysteriously.
Su Qing smiled bitterly, not taking it seriously, and said, "What other heaven-shaking good news could there be? Don't try to make me happy. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up. I want to be quiet."
"I'm not joking, Sister Su, listen to me finish first." Seeing Su Qing was about to hang up, Zhao Desan said hurriedly.
Su Qing sighed bitterly and said, "Then what exactly is it? Hurry up and say it!"
"Sister Su, there's a turning point in your matter. Just wait for the document from above!" Zhao Desan said directly.
