Chapter 1862: This Face Must Be Given

~6 min read 1,021 words

After adjusting his emotions slightly, Zhao Desan walked back to the police station's duty room. Upon entering, he saw that the duty officer was no longer there, and only the younger male officer was sitting there, so he asked with a smile: "Little brother, where is the officer from just now?" In his analysis, that duty officer seemed to be the one in charge here.

The young officer stared at Zhao Desan with surprise and asked: "Why are you back? Anything else?"

"Yes, yes, I have a small matter I'd like to discuss with that officer from just now," Zhao Desan said, nodding politely.

Seeing Zhao Desan's polite manner, the young officer couldn't directly reject him, so he said reluctantly: "Alright, wait a moment, I'll go in and call him for you."

"Okay, thank you!" Zhao Desan was extra polite.

Before long, that officer walked out from inside. Seeing Zhao Desan, he asked with a gloomy face: "What else do you want?"

"It... it's like this..." Zhao Desan said with an awkward smile: "Look, can I put in a good word for him? The person who was fighting just now is an acquaintance of mine. For my sake, could you... could you go easy on him?"

"Go easy?" The duty officer's eyes widened, looking at Zhao Desan as if he were seeing a monster.

Zhao Desan felt his words didn't sound quite right, so he added: "No, no, I mean, could you give him another chance?"

The duty officer glared at Zhao Desan and said slowly: "Logically speaking, you can be considered a figure in the Construction Committee, and I should give you this face. But when has your Construction Committee ever given me face?"

"What do you mean? Didn't your Director Zheng mention anything to you?" the duty officer asked with some resentment.

Zhao Desan understood; he was speaking in riddles without saying it directly, so he asked straight out: "How about this, just tell me what you need from us. As long as I, Zhao Desan, can do it, I won't hesitate." Zhao Desan even patted his chest as he spoke.

"Speaking directly is fine..." The duty officer sat up straight and continued: "I had a brief encounter with your Director Zheng and can be considered an acquaintance. A while ago, thinking your Director Zheng was a high official, I sent someone to give him some gifts to see if he could arrange for a girl who just graduated from medical school to work at the hospital next to your Construction Committee. But your Director Zheng looked down on me as a small fry and directly rejected my request!"

Perhaps it was just as this officer said; he was just a small police officer, not even comparable to a Deputy Section Chief like himself. Even if he knew Baldy Zheng, that old guy definitely wouldn't help a small fry he wouldn't need in the future! Zhao Desan really didn't know about this, but he was absolutely clear about what was going on inside. Logically, the relationship between Baldy Zheng and Wang Pangzi, the president of the hospital next door, was solid. Arranging a job for a little nurse should have been a piece of cake. Why would he refuse? On one hand, it might be because the old guy really looked down on this small fry and didn't want to help, or he hadn't managed to take down the little girl yet. This was the worst result. However, Zhao Desan still pretended to be profound and said: "Hi, so that's what it is. That's where you're wrong. After all, our Director isn't a leader in the hospital; they are two unrelated units. Plus, our Director has had too many things to do lately and probably couldn't get around to it. Since you've told me today, leave this matter to me, how about that?" Zhao Desan also bragged a bit.

After hearing Zhao Desan's words, the duty officer's face immediately cleared, and he said with a smile: "Really? Then I really have to thank you, Deputy Section Chief Liu!"

"A mere trifle, not worth mentioning. Just have the girl come directly to find me!" Zhao Desan guaranteed.

"Then what time do you think is suitable?" The duty officer didn't know when he had started calling Zhao Desan "you" (honorific).

"Mm, how about this, have her come find me tomorrow morning," Zhao Desan thought and said.

"Good, it's a deal." The duty officer stood up excitedly, stepped forward, gripped Zhao Desan's hand tightly, and continued: "In the future, as long as you, Deputy Section Chief Liu, have any use for me, Xu Min, just speak up. I will do anything for you."

Zhao Desan smiled at Xu Min and said embarrassedly: "You, about today's matter..."

"Oh, look at me, look at me. I was so happy I forgot about this. Wait a moment..." After saying that, Xu Min shouted to the back: "Little Li, come out for a moment."

Before long, Little Li came out from the back. He came to Xu Min and asked softly: "Director Xu, what are your instructions?"

Zhao Desan stared at Xu Min with wide eyes, thinking: So this guy is the Director!

At this moment, he saw Director Xu whispering a few instructions into Little Li's ear, then let him go back. He turned around and said to Zhao Desan with a smile: "Deputy Section Chief Liu, I am a person who acts decisively. Since you are straightforward, I will be even more straightforward than you. In a moment, you can take the person away, but..."

Zhao Desan hurriedly asked: "But what? Does Director Xu have any difficulties?"

"Oh, no, nothing, just need you to act as a guarantor," Director Xu said a bit embarrassedly.

"Hi! Is that all? I thought it was something else. Bring pen and paper, I'll guarantee it," Zhao Desan was straightforward.

As soon as Zhao Desan finished speaking, Little Li had already brought out pen and paper from the back and respectfully presented them to Zhao Desan. Zhao Desan boldly wrote down the guarantee and handed it to Little Li.
